Synopsis of uprobe_tracer
-------------------------
- p[:[GRP/]EVENT] PATH:OFFSET [FETCHARGS] : Set a uprobe
- r[:[GRP/]EVENT] PATH:OFFSET [FETCHARGS] : Set a return uprobe (uretprobe)
- -:[GRP/]EVENT : Clear uprobe or uretprobe event
+ p[:[GRP/]EVENT] PATH:OFFSET[(REF_CTR_OFFSET)] [FETCHARGS]
+ r[:[GRP/]EVENT] PATH:OFFSET[(REF_CTR_OFFSET)] [FETCHARGS]
+ -:[GRP/]EVENT
+
+ p : Set a uprobe
+ r : Set a return uprobe (uretprobe)
+ - : Clear uprobe or uretprobe event
GRP : Group name. If omitted, "uprobes" is the default value.
EVENT : Event name. If omitted, the event name is generated based
on PATH+OFFSET.
PATH : Path to an executable or a library.
OFFSET : Offset where the probe is inserted.
+ REF_CTR_OFFSET: Reference counter offset. Optional field. Reference count
+ gate the invocation of probe. If present, by default
+ reference count is 0. Kernel needs to increment it before
+ tracing the probe and decrement it when done. This is
+ identical to semaphore in Userspace Statically Defined
+ Tracepoints (USDT).
FETCHARGS : Arguments. Each probe can have up to 128 args.
%REG : Fetch register REG
