perf trace: Collect sys_nanosleep first argument
That is a 'struct timespec' passed from userspace to the kernel as we can see with a system wide syscall tracing: root@number:~# perf trace -e nanosleep 0.000 (10.102 ms): podman/9150 nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }) = 0 38.924 (10.077 ms): podman/2195174 nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }) = 0 100.177 (10.107 ms): podman/9150 nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }) = 0 139.171 (10.063 ms): podman/2195174 nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }) = 0 200.603 (10.105 ms): podman/9150 nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }) = 0 239.399 (10.064 ms): podman/2195174 nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }) = 0 300.994 (10.096 ms): podman/9150 nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }) = 0 339.584 (10.067 ms): podman/2195174 nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }) = 0 401.335 (10.057 ms): podman/9150 nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }) = 0 439.758 (10.166 ms): podman/2195174 nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }) = 0 501.814 (10.110 ms): podman/9150 nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }) = 0 539.983 (10.227 ms): podman/2195174 nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }) = 0 602.284 (10.199 ms): podman/9150 nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }) = 0 640.208 (10.105 ms): podman/2195174 nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }) = 0 702.662 (10.163 ms): podman/9150 nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }) = 0 740.440 (10.107 ms): podman/2195174 nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }) = 0 802.993 (10.159 ms): podman/9150 nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }) = 0 ^Croot@number:~# strace -p 9150 -e nanosleep If we then use the ptrace method to look at that podman process: root@number:~# strace -p 9150 -e nanosleep strace: Process 9150 attached nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=10000000}, NULL) = 0 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=10000000}, NULL) = 0 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=10000000}, NULL) = 0 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=10000000}, NULL) = 0 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=10000000}, NULL) = 0 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=10000000}, NULL) = 0 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=10000000}, NULL) = 0 ^Cstrace: Process 9150 detached root@number:~# With some changes we can get something closer to the strace output, still in system wide mode: root@number:~# perf config trace.show_arg_names=false root@number:~# perf config trace.show_duration=false root@number:~# perf config trace.show_timestamp=false root@number:~# perf config trace.show_zeros=true root@number:~# perf config trace.args_alignment=0 root@number:~# perf trace -e nanosleep --max-events=10 podman/2195174 nanosleep({ .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }, NULL) = 0 podman/9150 nanosleep({ .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }, NULL) = 0 podman/2195174 nanosleep({ .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }, NULL) = 0 podman/9150 nanosleep({ .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }, NULL) = 0 podman/2195174 nanosleep({ .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }, NULL) = 0 podman/9150 nanosleep({ .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }, NULL) = 0 podman/2195174 nanosleep({ .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }, NULL) = 0 podman/9150 nanosleep({ .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }, NULL) = 0 podman/2195174 nanosleep({ .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }, NULL) = 0 podman/9150 nanosleep({ .tv_sec: 0, .tv_nsec: 10000000 }, NULL) = 0 root@number:~# root@number:~# perf config trace.show_arg_names=false trace.show_duration=false trace.show_timestamp=false trace.show_zeros=true trace.args_alignment=0 root@number:~# cat ~/.perfconfig # this file is auto-generated.
