Hello friends,
I'm currently working on a project in which I need to be able to detect and show all the acquisition and liberations of the different types of kernel locks made by a single given process (mutexes, semaphores, spinlocks, big kernel locks etc). In this log, I need to be able to write which locks were made, and also write when they were liberated. Is systemTap capable of doing that?
The log would look something like this:
kernel lock acquired and liberated - type: spinlock
kernel lock acquired and liberated - type: spinlock
kernel lock acquired - type: mutex
kernel lock liberated - type: mutex
kernel lock acquired and liberated - type: spinlock
kernel lock acquired - type: big kernel lock
kernel lock liberated - type: big kernel lock
If this is possible, can someone help me with this? I'll be very thankful
Thanks for the attention,
Rafa
