tep_parse_saved_cmdlines, tep_parse_printk_formats,
tep_parse_kallsyms - Parsing functions to load mappings
#include <event-parse.h>
int tep_parse_saved_cmdlines(struct tep_handle *tep, const char *buf);
int tep_parse_printk_formats(struct tep_handle *tep, const char *buf);
int tep_parse_kallsyms(struct tep_handle *tep, const char *buf);
tep_parse_saved_cmdlines() is a helper function to parse content
in the tracefs file system of the "saved_cmdlines" file (stored
in a string buffer passed in by buf) and loads the mapping of the
process IDs (pid) to the comm names in the tep handler. The
events store the pid and this is used to be able to show the
process names associated to those process ids. It parses the
string buf that holds the content of saved_cmdlines and ends with
a nul character (\0).
tep_parse_printk_formats() is a helper function to parse content
in the tracefs file system of the "printk_formats" file (stored
in a string buffer passed in by buf) and loads the mapping of
addresses of strings that may be referenced by events. Events
only store the address of constant strings in the kernel, and the
mapping of their address to the string is exported to user space
in the printk_formats file. It parses the string buf that holds
the content of printk_formats and ends with a nul character (\0).
tep_parse_kallsyms() is a helper function to parse the Linux
kernel /proc/kallsyms format (stored in a string buffer passed in
by buf) and load the functions into the tep handler such that
function IP addresses can be mapped to their name when parsing
events with %pS in the print format field. It parses the string
buf that holds the content of /proc/kallsyms and ends with a nul
character (\0).
The tep_parse_saved_cmdlines() function returns 0 in case of
success, or -1 in case of an error.
The tep_parse_printk_formats() function returns 0 in case of
success, or -1 in case of an error.
The tep_parse_kallsyms() function returns 0 in case of success,
or -1 in case of an error.
