Add an envp argument to proc_create().

This is needed to support dtrace's -x setenv option.

lib: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

2017-11-26T02:00:33+00:00

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

libproc: Add support for some proc_attach() flags.

2016-12-06T04:22:38+00:00

This change adds some handling for the equivalent of Solaris' PGRAB_*
flags. In particular, support for PGRAB_RDONLY is needed to avoid a
nasty deadlock: dtrace(1) may otherwise stop the master process for its
pseudo-terminal and end up blocking while writing to standard output.

libproc: Match prefixes when looking up mapped object by name.

2016-12-06T04:20:32+00:00

When looking up an object by name, allow prefix matches if no direct match
is found. This allows one to, for example, match libc entry probes with:

 # dtrace -n 'pid$target:libc.so::entry' -c ./foo

instead of requiring "libc.so.7" or a glob.

Also remove proc_obj2map() as it currently just duplicates the
functionality of proc_name2map(). It's supposed to take a Solaris
link-map ID as a paramter, but support for this isn't implemented and
isn't required to support DTrace's pid provider.

libproc: Cache ELF handles for loaded objects.

2016-12-06T04:19:08+00:00

libproc previously created a new handle for each symbol lookup, which
gives rather egregious performance for DTrace's ustack() action. With
this change libproc will cache the libelf descriptor upon access, making
lookups much faster in the common case.

libproc: Make proc_getpid() an accessor for struct proc_handle.

2016-12-06T04:14:20+00:00

This allows librtld_db to fetch the PID from a handle without calling into
libproc. Together with r303531, this means that librtld_db no longer
references symbols from libproc.

Fix style bugs and remove trailing whitespace in libproc and librtld_db.

libproc: Add proc_getmodel().

2016-07-30T03:09:23+00:00

This is used by libdtrace to determine the data model of target processes.
This allows for the creation of pid provider probes in 32-bit processes on
amd64.

Hook up support for userland CTF support in DTrace. This required some

2014-10-03T23:20:37+00:00

modifications to libproc to support fetching the CTF info for a given file.

With this change, dtrace(1) is able to resolve type info for function and
USDT probe arguments, and function return values. In particular, the args[n]
syntax should now work for referencing arguments of userland probes,
provided that the requisite CTF info is available.

The uctf tests pass if the test programs are compiled with CTF info. The
current infrastructure around the DTrace test suite doesn't support this
yet.

If the traced process stops because it received a signal, libproc needs

to ensure that the signal is forwarded when proc_continue() is called.
