      Add -c CMD option · a3086a88
      Daniel Xu authored
      This patch adds a command running option to bpftrace. The user can now
      run something like:
      
          ./bpftrace -e '...' -c 'sleep 5'
      
      which is a convenience wrapper around something like:
      
          sleep 5 & ./bpfrace -e '...' -p `pidof sleep`
      
      `-c` is better because it:
      * ensures a tighter tracing range around CMD (ie we trace less of the
      system while it is not running CMD)
      * makes bpftrace exit (which is convenient) when CMD terminates
          * previously, it was not possible to get a full trace of CMDs
          execution and have bpftrace exit upon CMD termination
      
      Test Plan:
      Trivial successful example:
      ```
      $ sudo ./build/src/bpftrace -e 'tracepoint:syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep
      { printf("%s nanoslept\n", comm); }' -c '/bin/sleep 1'

      { printf("%s nanoslept\n", comm); }' -c 'sleep 1'

      Failed to spawn child=sleep 1

      $
      ```

      Terminate bpftrace when traced PID terminates · 54909d3e
      Daniel Xu authored
      If the user provides a specific PID to trace, it doesn't really make
      sense to keep running if the tracee terminates. This patch makes
      bpftrace exit cleanly if the tracee terminates.
      
      I spent quite a bit of time thinking about the generic problem of
      figuring out when an arbitrary pid terminates. After some experiments,
      here is what I've learned:
      * wait(2) and waitpid(2) can only wait on child processes (duh)
      * epoll(2) does not support procfs (or other pseudo filesystems)
      * inotify does not support procfs either b/c procfs changes are not made
      through the filesystem (by another userspace entity)
      * ptrace with PTRACE_SEIZE might work but might have extra overhead on
      the tracee
      * the netlink interface for process state changes seems a bit overkill
      * the only sane solution (AFAICT) is to poll /proc/PID/ for changes
      
      Thus, I've made some minor changes to the main event loop to support
      polling procfs.
      
      Test Plan:
      Make sure non-pid-specific tracing still works:
      ```
      $ sudo ./build/src/bpftrace -e 'uretprobe:/bin/bash:readline { printf("read a line\n"); }'
      [sudo] password for dlxu:
      Attaching 1 probe...
      read a line
      read a line
      read a line
      read a line
      read a line
      read a line
      read a line
      read a line
      ^C
      
      ```
      
      Verify pid-specific tracing (ie usdt) exits on tracee termination:
      ```
      // in window 1
      $ ./python -q
      
      // in window 2
      $ sudo ~/dev/bpftrace/build/src/bpftrace -p $(pidof python) -e 'usdt:/home/dlxu/dev/cpython/python:function__entry { printf("%s %s\n", str(arg0), str(arg1)) }'
      [sudo] password for dlxu:
      Attaching 1 probe...
      <stdin> <module>
      
      // in window 1
      >>> print('wow')
      wow
      >>>
      
      // verify bpftrace has exited in window 2
      
      ```

      [travis] remove Fedora 27 and ignore static build result · c3103d38
      Matheus Marchini authored
      Fedora 27 and LLVM 5 are EOL, which means they won't receive new
      updates (not even security patches). As such, there's no reason to keep
      testing those platforms/dependencies in our CI, and removing them will
      reduce our CI complexity as well as unbreak our CI.
      
      Also, static builds are broken for some time
      (https://github.com/iovisor/bpftrace/issues/266), and keeping them in
      our CI will only prevent collaborators from keeping the CI healthy. We
      should push for Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora static builds instead of relying on
      alpine for it. For now, mark alpine static build as "allow to fail" on
      Travis.
