disktop.stp outputs the top ten processes responsible for the heaviest reads/writes to disk. Example 4.4, “disktop.stp Sample Output” displays a sample output for this script, and includes the following data per listed process:
  • UID — user ID. A user ID of 0 refers to the root user.
  • PID — the ID of the listed process.
  • PPID — the process ID of the listed process's parent process.
  • CMD — the name of the listed process.
  • DEVICE — which storage device the listed process is reading from or writing to.
  • T — the type of action performed by the listed process; W refers to write, while R refers to read.
  • BYTES — the amount of data read to or written from disk.
The time and date in the output of disktop.stp is returned by the functions ctime() and gettimeofday_s(). ctime() derives calendar time in terms of seconds passed since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970). gettimeofday_s() counts the actual number of seconds since Unix epoch, which gives a fairly accurate human-readable timestamp for the output.
In this script, the $return is a local variable that stores the actual number of bytes each process reads or writes from the virtual file system. $return can only be used in return probes (e.g. vfs.read.return and vfs.read.return).

4.2.2. Tracking I/O Time For Each File Read or Write
Copier lien

This section describes how to monitor the amount of time it takes for each process to read from or write to any file. This is useful if you wish to determine what files are slow to load on a given system.
iotime.stp

global start
global entry_io
global fd_io
global time_io

function timestamp:long() {
  return gettimeofday_us() - start
}

function proc:string() {
  return sprintf("%d (%s)", pid(), execname())
}

probe begin {
 start = gettimeofday_us()
}

global filenames
global filehandles
global fileread
global filewrite

probe syscall.open {
  filenames[pid()] = user_string($filename)
} 

probe syscall.open.return {
  if ($return != -1) {
    filehandles[pid(), $return] = filenames[pid()]
    fileread[pid(), $return] = 0
    filewrite[pid(), $return] = 0
  } else {
    printf("%d %s access %s fail\n", timestamp(), proc(), filenames[pid()])
  }
  delete filenames[pid()]
}

probe syscall.read {
  if ($count > 0) {
    fileread[pid(), $fd] += $count
  }
  t = gettimeofday_us(); p = pid()
  entry_io[p] = t
  fd_io[p] = $fd
}

probe syscall.read.return {
  t = gettimeofday_us(); p = pid()
  fd = fd_io[p]
  time_io[p,fd] <<< t - entry_io[p]
}

probe syscall.write {
  if ($count > 0) {
    filewrite[pid(), $fd] += $count
  }
  t = gettimeofday_us(); p = pid()
  entry_io[p] = t
  fd_io[p] = $fd
}

probe syscall.write.return {
  t = gettimeofday_us(); p = pid()
  fd = fd_io[p]
  time_io[p,fd] <<< t - entry_io[p]
}

probe syscall.close {
  if (filehandles[pid(), $fd] != "") {
    printf("%d %s access %s read: %d write: %d\n",  timestamp(), proc(),
           filehandles[pid(), $fd], fileread[pid(), $fd], filewrite[pid(), $fd])
    if (@count(time_io[pid(), $fd]))
      printf("%d %s iotime %s time: %d\n",  timestamp(), proc(),
             filehandles[pid(), $fd], @sum(time_io[pid(), $fd]))
   }
  delete fileread[pid(), $fd]
  delete filewrite[pid(), $fd]
  delete filehandles[pid(), $fd]
  delete fd_io[pid()]
  delete entry_io[pid()]
  delete time_io[pid(),$fd]

iotime.stp tracks each time a system call opens, closes, reads from, and writes to a file. For each file any system call accesses, iotime.stp counts the number of microseconds it takes for any reads or writes to finish and tracks the amount of data (in bytes) read from or written to the file.
iotime.stp also uses the local variable $count to track the amount of data (in bytes) that any system call attempts to read or write. Note that $return (as used in disktop.stp from Section 4.2.1, “Summarizing Disk Read/Write Traffic”) stores the actual amount of data read/written. $count can only be used on probes that track data reads or writes (e.g. syscall.read and syscall.write).

Example 4.5. iotime.stp Sample Output

[...]
825946 3364 (NetworkManager) access /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier read: 8190 write: 0
825955 3364 (NetworkManager) iotime /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier time: 9

Example 4.5, “iotime.stp Sample Output” prints out the following data:
  • A timestamp, in microseconds
  • Process ID and process name
  • An access or iotime flag
  • The file accessed
If a process was able to read or write any data, a pair of access and iotime lines should appear together. The access line's timestamp refer to the time that a given process started accessing a file; at the end of the line, it will show the amount of data read/written (in bytes). The iotime line will show the amount of time (in microseconds) that the process took in order to perform the read or write.
If an access line is not followed by an iotime line, it simply means that the process did not read or write any data.

traceio.stp prints the top ten executables generating I/O traffic over time. In addition, it also tracks the cumulative amount of I/O reads and writes done by those ten executables. This information is tracked and printed out in 1-second intervals, and in descending order.
Note that traceio.stp also uses the local variable $return, which is also used by disktop.stp from Section 4.2.1, “Summarizing Disk Read/Write Traffic”.

4.2.4. I/O Monitoring (By Device)
Copier lien

This section describes how to monitor I/O activity on a specific device.
traceio2.stp

#! /usr/bin/env stap

global device_of_interest, dev

probe begin {
  /* The following is not the most efficient way to do this.
      One could directly put the result of usrdev2kerndev()
      into device_of_interest.  However, want to test out
      the other device functions */
  dev = usrdev2kerndev($1)
  device_of_interest = MKDEV(MAJOR(dev), MINOR(dev))
}

probe vfs.write, vfs.read
{
  if (dev == device_of_interest)
    printf ("%s(%d) %s 0x%x\n",
            execname(), pid(), probefunc(), dev)
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

traceio2.stp takes 1 argument: the whole device number. To get this number, use stat -c "0x%D" directory, where directory is located in the device you wish to monitor.
The usrdev2kerndev() function converts the whole device number into the format understood by the kernel. The output produced by usrdev2kerndev() is used in conjunction with the MKDEV(), MINOR(), and MAJOR() functions to determine the major and minor numbers of a specific device.
The output of traceio2.stp includes the name and ID of any process performing a read/write, the function it is performing (i.e. vfs_read or vfs_write), and the kernel device number.
The following example is an excerpt from the full output of stap traceio2.stp 0x805, where 0x805 is the whole device number of /home. /home resides in /dev/sda5, which is the device we wish to monitor.

Example 4.7. traceio2.stp Sample Output

4.2.5. Monitoring Reads and Writes to a File
Copier lien

This section describes how to monitor reads from and writes to a file in real time.
inodewatch-simple.stp

probe vfs.write, vfs.read
{
  dev_nr = $file->f_dentry->d_inode->i_sb->s_dev
  inode_nr = $file->f_dentry->d_inode->i_ino
  if (dev_nr == ($1 << 20 | $2) # major/minor device
      && inode_nr == $3)
    printf ("%s(%d) %s 0x%x/%u\n",
      execname(), pid(), probefunc(), dev_nr, inode_nr)
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

inodewatch-simple.stp takes the following information about the file as arguments on the command line:
  • The file's major device number.
  • The file's minor device number.
  • The file's inode number.
To get this information, use stat -c '%D %i' filename, where filename is an absolute path.
For instance: if you wish to monitor /etc/crontab, run stat -c '%D %i' /etc/crontab first. This gives the following output: 
805 1078319
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
805 is the base-16 (hexadecimal) device number. The lower two digits are the minor device number and the upper digits are the major number. 1078319 is the inode number. To start monitoring /etc/crontab, run stap inodewatch.stp 0x8 0x05 1078319 (The 0x prefixes indicate base-16 values.
The output of this command contains the name and ID of any process performing a read/write, the function it is performing (i.e. vfs_read or vfs_write), the device number (in hex format), and the inode number. Example 4.8, “inodewatch-simple.stp Sample Output” contains the output of stap inodewatch.stp 0x8 0x05 1078319 (when cat /etc/crontab is executed while the script is running) :

Example 4.8. inodewatch-simple.stp Sample Output

cat(16437) vfs_read 0x800005/1078319
cat(16437) vfs_read 0x800005/1078319

4.2.6. Monitoring Changes to File Attributes
Copier lien

This section describes how to monitor if any processes are changing the attributes of a targeted file, in real time.
inodewatch2-simple.stp

global ATTR_MODE = 1

probe kernel.function("inode_setattr") {
  dev_nr = $inode->i_sb->s_dev
  inode_nr = $inode->i_ino

  if (dev_nr == ($1 << 20 | $2) # major/minor device
      && inode_nr == $3
      && $attr->ia_valid & ATTR_MODE)
    printf ("%s(%d) %s 0x%x/%u %o %d\n",
      execname(), pid(), probefunc(), dev_nr, inode_nr, $attr->ia_mode, uid())
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Like inodewatch-simple.stp from Section 4.2.5, “Monitoring Reads and Writes to a File”, inodewatch2-simple.stp takes the targeted file's device number (in integer format) and inode number as arguments. For more information on how to retrieve this information, refer to Section 4.2.5, “Monitoring Reads and Writes to a File”.
The output for inodewatch2-simple.stp is similar to that of inodewatch-simple.stp, except that inodewatch2-simple.stp also contains the attribute changes to the monitored file, as well as the ID of the user responsible (uid()). Example 4.9, “inodewatch2-simple.stp Sample Output” contains shows the output of inodewatch2-simple.stp while monitoring /home/joe/bigfile when user joe executes chmod 777 /home/joe/bigfile and chmod 666 /home/joe/bigfile.

Example 4.9. inodewatch2-simple.stp Sample Output

chmod(17448) inode_setattr 0x800005/6011835 100777 500
chmod(17449) inode_setattr 0x800005/6011835 100666 500
