[PATCH v2 6/8] makedumpfile: Read and process 'for' command from config file.

Mahesh J Salgaonkar mahesh at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Tue May 17 16:05:19 EDT 2011


From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This patch adds support to read and process 'for' command from config file
to filter multiple memory locations that are accessible through an array,
link list or list_head.

The syntax for 'for' (loop construct) filter command is:

for <id> in {<ArrayVar> |
	     <StructVar> via <NextMember> |
	     <ListHeadVar> within <StructName>:<ListHeadMember>}
	erase <id>[.MemberExpression] [size <SizeExpression>|nullify]
	[erase <id> ...]
	[...]
endfor

Updated filter.conf(8) man page that describes the syntax for loop construct.

+The \fBfor\fR loop construct allows to iterate on list of elements in an array
+or linked lists. Each element in the list is assigned to iteration variable
+<\fIid\fR>. The type of the iteration variable is determined by that of the
+list elements. The entry specified after '\fBin\fR' terminal is called LIST
+entry. The LIST entry can be an array variable, structure variable/pointer or a
+struct list_head type variable. The set of \fBerase\fR commands specified
+between \fBfor\fR and \fBendfor\fR, will be executed for each element in the
+LIST entry.
+.PP
+If the LIST entry specified is an array variable, then the loop will be
+executed for each array element. The size of the array will be determined by
+using dwarf information.
+.PP
+If the LIST entry specified is a structure variable/pointer, then a traversal
+member (<\fINextMember\fR>) must be specified using '\fBvia\fR' terminal. The
+\fBfor\fR loop will continue until the value of traversal member is NULL or
+matches with address of the first node <\fIStructVar\fR> if it is a circular
+linked list.
+.PP
+If the LIST entry is specified using a struct list_head type variable, then
+\fBwithin\fR terminal must be used to specify the structure name
+<\fIStructName\fR> that is surrounding to it along with the struct list_head
+type member after '\fB:\fR' which is part of the linked list. In the erase
+statement <\fIid\fR> then denotes the structure that the list_head is
+contained in (ELEMENT_OF).
+.PP
+The below example illustrates how to use loop construct for traversing
+Array, linked list via next member and list_head.
+
+.B Example:
+.PP
+Assuming following piece of code is from kernel module 'mymodule':
+.br
+
+struct s1 {
+.br
+	struct *next;
+.br
+	struct list_head list;
+.br
+	char private[100];
+.br
+	void *key;
+.br
+	long key_size;
+.br
+};
+.br
+
+/* Global symbols */
+.br
+struct s1 mystruct1;
+.br
+static LIST_HEAD(s1_list_head);
+.br
+struct s1 myarray[100];
+.br
+
+void foo()
+.br
+{
+.br
+	struct s1 *s1_ptr;
+.br
+	...
+.br
+	...
+.br
+	s1_ptr = malloc(...);
+.br
+	...
+.br
+	...
+.br
+	list_add(&s1_ptr->list, &s1_list_head);
+.br
+	...
+.br
+}
+.br
+
+\fBmakedumpfile.conf:\fR
+.br
+[mymodule]
+.br
+# erase private fields from list starting with mystruct1 connected via
+.br
+# 'next' member:
+.br
+for mys1 in mystruct1 via next
+.br
+	erase mys1.private
+.br
+	erase mys1.key size mys1.key_size
+.br
+endfor
+.br
+
+# erase private fields from list starting with list_head variable
+.br
+# s1_list_head.
+.br

+.br
+.B EOF
+.PP
+In the above example, the first \fBfor\fR construct traverses the linked list
+through a specified structure variable \fBmystruct1\fR of type \fBstruct s1\fR.
+The linked list can be traversed using '\fBnext\fR' member of \fBmystruct1\fR.
+Hence a \fBvia\fR terminal has been used to specify the traversal member
+name '\fBnext\fR'.
+.PP
+The second \fBfor\fR construct traverses the linked list through a specified
+struct list_head variable \fBs1_list_head.next\fR. The global symbol
+\fBs1_list_head\fR is a start address of the linked list and its \fBnext\fR
+member points to the address of struct list_head type member '\fBlist\fR' from
+\fBstruct s1\fR. Hence a \fBwithin\fR terminal is used to specify the structure
+name '\fBs1\fR' that can be traversed using \fBs1_list_head.next\fR variable
+along with the name of struct list_head type member '\fBlist\fR' which is part
+of the linked list that starts from \fBs1_list_head\fR global symbol.
+.PP
+The third \fBfor\fR construct traverses the array elements specified through
+a array variable \fBmyarray\fR.
