libdtrace: Don't use a read-only handle for enumerating pid probes.

Enumeration of return probes involves disassembling subroutines in the
target process, and ptrace(2) is currently used to read from the target
process. libproc could read from the backing file instead to avoid this
problem, but in the common case libdtrace will have a writeable handle
on the process anyway. In particular, a writeable handle is needed to list
USDT probes, and libdtrace will cache such a handle for processes that it
controls via dtrace -c and -p.


# 6e0f204c 07-Dec-2015 Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org>

Modify DTRACEHIOC_ADDDOF to copy the DOF section from the target process.

r281257 added support for lazyload mode by allowing dtrace(1) to register
a DOF section on behalf of a traced process. This was implemented by
having libdtrace copy the DOF section into a heap-allocated buffer and
passing its address to the ioctl handler. However, DTrace uses the DOF
section address as a lookup key in certain cases, so the ioctl handler
should be given the target process' DOF section address instead. This
change modifies the ADDDOF handler to copy the DOF section in from the
target process, rather than from dtrace(1).


# 67cf27b7 07-Apr-2015 Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org>

libdtrace: add support for lazyload mode.

Passing "-x lazyload" to dtrace -G during compilation causes dtrace(1) to
not link drti.o into the output object file, so the USDT probes are not created
during process startup. Instead, dtrace(1) will automatically discover and
create probes on the process' behalf when attaching.

Mechanically convert cddl sun #ifdef's to illumos

Since the upstream for cddl code is now illumos not sun, mechanically
convert all sun #ifdef's to illumos #ifdef's which have been used in all
newer code for some time.

Also do a manual pass to correct the use if #ifdef comments as per style(9)
as well as few uses of #if defined(__FreeBSD__) vs #ifndef illumos.

# 41da933c 03-Oct-2014 Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org>

Hook up support for userland CTF support in DTrace. This required some
modifications to libproc to support fetching the CTF info for a given file.

With this change, dtrace(1) is able to resolve type info for function and
USDT probe arguments, and function return values. In particular, the args[n]
syntax should now work for referencing arguments of userland probes,
provided that the requisite CTF info is available.

The uctf tests pass if the test programs are compiled with CTF info. The
current infrastructure around the DTrace test suite doesn't support this
yet.

A new jail(8) with a configuration file, to replace the work currently done
by /etc/rc.d/jail.

Don't try to map the USDT probes. This is necessary because there is no
__SUNW_dof symbol present in FreeBSD binaries.

# 0f2bd1e8 21-Aug-2010 Rui Paulo <rpaulo@FreeBSD.org>

Add libdtrace support for tracing userland programs.

Summary of changes:
* Implement a compatibility shim between Solaris libproc and our
libproc and remove several ifdefs because of this.
* Port the drti to FreeBSD.
* Implement the missing DOODAD sections
* Link with libproc and librtld_db
* Support for ustack, jstack and uregs (by sson@)
* Misc bugfixing

When writing the SUWN_dof section, we had to resort to building the ELF
file layout by "hand". This is the job of libelf, but our libelf doesn't
support this yet. When libelf is fixed, we can remove the code under
#ifdef BROKEN_LIBELF.

Fix the result of a mismerge. MUTEX_HELD should be DT_MUTEX_HELD() and
Plmid() is not supposed to be called.


# fe0506d7 09-Mar-2010 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Create the altix project branch. The altix project will add support
for the SGI Altix 350 to FreeBSD/ia64. The hardware used for porting
is a two-module system, consisting of a base compute module and a
CPU expansion module. SGI's NUMAFlex architecture can be an excellent
platform to test CPU affinity and NUMA-aware features in FreeBSD.

- Import the HEAD csup code which is the basis for the cvsmode work.


# 5ec56692 25-Apr-2008 John Birrell <jb@FreeBSD.org>

There is a lot of commented out code here which applies to future work
for userland tracing.

For now we need the basic functions to be in place so that DTrace can
be used for kernel tracing.
