From 405b2651e4bedf8d3932b64cad649b4d26b067f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2009 18:27:40 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing/kprobes: Add $ prefix to special variables Add $ prefix to the special variables(e.g. sa, rv) of kprobe-tracer. This resolves consistency issues between kprobe_events and perf-kprobe. The main goal is to avoid conflicts between local variable names of probed functions, used by perf probe, and special variables used in the kprobe event creation interface (stack values, etc...) and also available from perf probe. ie: we don't want rv (return value) to conflict with a local variable named rv in a probed function.
