There are many SDT markers in powerpc whose uprobe definition goes
beyond current MAX_CMDLEN, especially when target filename is long
and sdt marker has long list of arguments. For example, definition
of sdt marker
method__compile__end: 8@17 8@9 8@10 -4@8 8@7 -4@6 8@5 -4@4 1@37(28)
from file
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.91-2.b14.fc22.ppc64/jre/lib/\
ppc64/server/libjvm.so
is
p:sdt_hotspot/method__compile__end /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-\
1.8.0.91-2.b14.fc22.ppc64/jre/lib/ppc64/server/libjvm.so:0x4c4e00\
arg1=%gpr17:u64 arg2=%gpr9:u64 arg3=%gpr10:u64 arg4=%gpr8:s32\
arg5=%gpr7:u64 arg6=%gpr6:s32 arg7=%gpr5:u64 arg8=%gpr4:s32\
arg9=+37(%gpr28):u8
Perf probe fails with seg fault for such markers. As uprobe_events file
accepts definition beyond 256 characters, increase value of MAX_CMDLEN
to 512.
