systemtap初试用

debug admin 4134浏览 0评论

久闻systemtap工具的大名,之前也断断续续的看过它的介绍,并且利用CentOS发行版自带的systemtap相关命令试用过几次,感觉还算不错。本文将介绍一下systemtap的安装,以及对应用程序的追踪示例,不过,在此之前,先描述一下systemtap的背景知识以及相关资料。

在Solaris系统上,有一个大名鼎鼎的动态跟踪工具DTRACE,这一个相当棒的工具,曾荣获《华尔街杂志》2006技术创新大奖中的金奖,而在Linux上却没有对应的工具,当然,那是以前,因为我们已经知道,现在Linux上有了systemtap。

和ZFS文件系统一样,DTrace一直都因版权问题而无法移植到Linux上,但Oracle(SUN公司被Oracle收购)在2012年2月宣布发布DTrace for Linux beta版,即将Solaris操作系统的动态跟踪工具移植到他们的Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel(2.6.39)内,也就是说Linux人员终于也可以使用DTrace了,不过DTrace不是本文的主角,所以还是来看systemtap,而关于systemtap与DTrace的比较,请看这里

一般的Linux发行版,比如Fedora、OpenSuse、CentOS等,已经包含有systemtap的完整支持了,看看在我的这台机器上,试用实例如下:

[root@localhost systemtap]#

 

另开一终端,发起一个nginx的HTTP请求:

[root@localhost ~]# curl 127.0.0.1
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome to nginx!</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white" text="black">
<center><h1>Welcome to nginx!</h1></center>
</body>
</html>

从上面内容可以看到,在CentOS 6.0上,利用系统自动的systemtap,可完整的捕获到Nginx的执行过程。下面介绍systemtap的源码安装方式,并且内核也换为新的香草内核

ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/systemtap/releases/下载到当前(2013-01-26)最新的systemtap源码包,注意我们这里要用systemtap来追踪应用程序,因此先看看systemtap源码包里的README文件的utrace部分:

Building a kernel.org kernel:

– Consider applying the utrace kernel patches, if you wish to probe
user-space applications. http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace
Or if your kernel is near 3.5, apply the uprobes and related patches
(see NEWS). Or if your kernel is >= 3.5, enjoy the built-in uprobes.

– Build the kernel using your normal procedures. Enable
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO, CONFIG_KPROBES, CONFIG_RELAY, CONFIG_DEBUG_FS,
CONFIG_MODULES, CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD, CONFIG_UTRACE if able
– % make modules_install install headers_install
– Boot into the kernel.

从上面英文可以看到,如果要用systemtap追踪应用程序,那么有三种情况:
1,如果内核版本比较旧,那么需要下载对应的utrace补丁,比如2.6.37
2,如果内核版本比较新,但仍低于3.5,那么需要打3个系列固定补丁,具体请看systemtap的NEWS文件。
3,如果内核版本大于等于3.5,那好,直接支持。

为了偷懒,我下载了3.7.0版本的内核代码,执行编译:

[root@localhost ~]# cd /usr/src/
[root@localhost src]# tar xjf linux-3.7.tar.bz2
[root@localhost src]# cd linux-3.7/
[root@localhost src]# make menuconfig

保证选上这个:

Kernel hacking  --->
[*] Tracers  --->
[*]   Enable uprobes-based dynamic events

我在内核编译菜单里找了半天,也没有找到内核选项CONFIG_UTRACE,其实这个选项在新版本内核里已经没有了,所以不用管它。在make前,检查一下.config文件,确保如下几个选项存在:

[root@localhost src]# cat .config | grep CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO
[root@localhost src]# cat .config | grep CONFIG_KPROBES
[root@localhost src]# cat .config | grep CONFIG_RELAY
[root@localhost src]# cat .config | grep CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
[root@localhost src]# cat .config | grep CONFIG_MODULES
[root@localhost src]# cat .config | grep CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD
[root@localhost src]# make
[root@localhost src]# make modules
[root@localhost src]# make modules_install install headers_install

编译重启OK,一切顺利。

试试系统自带的systemtap:

[root@localhost ~]# cd /home/work/systemtap/
[root@localhost systemtap]# cat lsprob.stp
probe process("/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx").function("*")
{
    printf("%s(%s)n", probefunc(), $$parms)
}
[root@localhost systemtap]# /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx
[root@localhost systemtap]# uname -a

[root@localhost systemtap]# stap -v lsprob.stp
Pass 1: parsed user script and 71 library script(s) using 87952virt/24532res/2424shr kb, in 200usr/110sys/310real ms.
semantic error: process probes not available without kernel CONFIG_UTRACE while resolving probe point process("/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx").function("*")

Pass 2: analysis failed.  Try again with another '--vp 01' option.
[root@localhost systemtap]#

提示出错,这很正常,因为系统自带的systemtap版本比较低,还会依赖并判断CONFIG_UTRACE选项是否存在:

错误更多了?从这里了解到是因为我们用的内核版本太新了,需要换用更新的systemtap:systemtap-20121215.tar.bz2,解压安装:

[root@localhost systemtap]# ls
lsprob.stp  systemtap-2.0  systemtap-20121215.tar.bz2  systemtap-2.0.tar.gz
[root@localhost systemtap]# tar xjf systemtap-20121215.tar.bz2

[root@localhost systemtap]# cd src/
[root@localhost src]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/systemtap/

再试试:

[root@localhost systemtap]#

终于正常了。

另外,如果提示这样的错误:
configure: error: missing elfutils development headers/libraries (install elfutils-devel, libebl-dev, libdw-dev and/or libebl-devel)
试试到https://fedorahosted.org/releases/e/l/elfutils/下载对应的elfutils源码包,然后以如下方式配置:
[root@localhost stap]# ./configure –prefix=/home/stap/install/ –with-elfutils=/home/elfutils-x.xxx
注意,一定不要尝试安装elfutils,否则可能将导致系统环境变乱。
