Overview

strace traces Linux process events.

An straced process will emit events for syscalls, signals, exits, and new children.

const (
	// ExecMaxTotalSize is the maximum length of all argv and envv entries.
	//
	// N.B. The behavior here is different than Linux. Linux provides a limit on
	// individual arguments of 32 pages, and an aggregate limit of at least 32 pages
	// but otherwise bounded by min(stack size / 4, 8 MB * 3 / 4). We don't implement
	// any behavior based on the stack size, and instead provide a fixed hard-limit of
	// 2 MB (which should work well given that 8 MB stack limits are common).
	ExecMaxTotalSize = 2 * 1024 * 1024

	// ExecMaxElemSize is the maximum length of a single argv or envv entry.
	ExecMaxElemSize = 32 * 4096
)

From gvisor:

const DefaultLogMaximumSize = 1024

DefaultLogMaximumSize is the default LogMaximumSize.

Variables

View Source 
var EventMaximumSize uint

EventMaximumSize determines the maximum size for data blobs (read, write, etc.) sent over the event channel. Default is 0 because most clients cannot do anything useful with binary text dump of byte array arguments.

View Source 
var LogMaximumSize uint = DefaultLogMaximumSize

LogMaximumSize determines the maximum display size for data blobs (read, write, etc.).

Functions

func CaptureAddress 

func CaptureAddress(t Task, addr Addr, addrlen uint32) ([]byte, error)

CaptureAddress pulls a socket address from the process as a byte slice. It returns any errors.

func ReadString

ReadString reads a null-terminated string from the process at Addr and any errors.

func ReadStringVector 

func ReadStringVector(t Task, addr Addr, maxsize, maxno int) ([]string, error)

ReadStringVector takes an address, max string size, and max number of string to read, and returns a string slice or error.

func Strace 

func Strace(c *exec.Cmd, out io.Writer) error

Strace traces and prints process events for `c` and its children to `out`.

func SysCallEnter 

func SysCallEnter(t Task, s *SyscallEvent) string

func SysCallExit 

func SysCallExit(t Task, s *SyscallEvent) string

func Trace

	//
	// This may not be used by all endpoint types.

type SignalEvent 

type SignalEvent struct {
	// Signal is the signal number.
	Signal unix.Signal
}

SignalEvent is a signal that was delivered to the process.

type SyscallArgument 

type SyscallArgument struct {
	// Prefer to use accessor methods instead of 'Value' directly.
	Value uintptr
}

SyscallArgument is an argument supplied to a syscall implementation. The methods used to access the arguments are named after the ***C type name*** and they convert to the closest Go type available. For example, Int() refers to a 32-bit signed integer argument represented in Go as an int32.

Using the accessor methods guarantees that the conversion between types is correct, taking into account size and signedness (i.e., zero-extension vs signed-extension).

func (SyscallArgument) Int 

func (a SyscallArgument) Int() int32

Int returns the int32 representation of a 32-bit signed integer argument.

func (SyscallArgument) Int64 

func (a SyscallArgument) Int64() int64

Int64 returns the int64 representation of a 64-bit signed integer argument.

func (SyscallArgument) ModeT 

func (a SyscallArgument) ModeT() uint

ModeT returns the int representation of a mode_t argument.

func (SyscallArgument) Pointer 

func (a SyscallArgument) Pointer() Addr

Pointer returns the usermem.Addr representation of a pointer argument.

func (SyscallArgument) SizeT 

func (a SyscallArgument) SizeT() uint

SizeT returns the uint representation of a size_t argument.

func (SyscallArgument) Uint 

func (a SyscallArgument) Uint() uint32

Uint returns the uint32 representation of a 32-bit unsigned integer argument.

func (SyscallArgument) Uint64 

func (a SyscallArgument) Uint64() uint64

Uint64 returns the uint64 representation of a 64-bit unsigned integer argument.

type SyscallArguments 

type SyscallArguments [6]SyscallArgument

SyscallArguments represents the set of arguments passed to a syscall.

type SyscallEvent 

type SyscallEvent struct {
	// Regs are the process's registers as they were when the event was
	// recorded.
	Regs unix.PtraceRegs

	// Sysno is the syscall number.
	Sysno int

	// Args are the arguments to the syscall.
	Args SyscallArguments

	// Ret is the return value of the syscall. Only populated on
	// SyscallExit.
	Ret [2]SyscallArgument

	// Errno is an errno, if there was on in Ret. Only populated on
	// SyscallExit.
	Errno unix.Errno

	// Duration is the duration from enter to exit for this particular
	// syscall. Only populated on SyscallExit.
	Duration time.Duration
}

SyscallEvent is populated for both SyscallEnter and SyscallExit event types.

func (*SyscallEvent) FillArgs 

func (s *SyscallEvent) FillArgs()

FillArgs pulls the correct registers to populate system call arguments and the system call number into a TraceRecord. Note that the system call number is not technically an argument. This is good, in a sense, since it makes the function arguments end up in "the right place" from the point of view of the caller. The performance improvement is negligible, as you can see by a look at the GNU runtime.

func (*SyscallEvent) FillRet 

func (s *SyscallEvent) FillRet()

FillRet fills the TraceRecord with the result values from the registers.

type SyscallInfo 

type SyscallInfo struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

SyscallInfo captures the name and printing format of a syscall.

type SyscallMap 

type SyscallMap map[uintptr]SyscallInfo

SyscallMap maps syscalls into names and printing formats.

type Task 

type Task interface {
	// Read reads from the process at Addr to the interface{}
	// and returns a byte count and error.
	Read(addr Addr, v interface{}) (int, error)

	// Name is a human-readable process identifier. E.g. PID or argv[0].
	Name() string
}

Task is a Linux process.

type TraceError 

type TraceError struct {
	// PID is the process ID associated with the error.
	PID int
	Err error
}

TraceError is returned when something failed on a specific process.

func (*TraceError) Error 

func (t *TraceError) Error() string

type TraceRecord 

type TraceRecord struct {
	PID   int
	Time  time.Time
	Event EventType

	Syscall    *SyscallEvent
	SignalExit *SignalEvent
	SignalStop *SignalEvent
	Exit       *ExitEvent
	NewChild   *NewChildEvent
}

TraceRecord has information about a process event.
