bawrite |
Probe that fires whenever a buffer
is about to be asynchronously written out to a device. |
bread |
Probe that fires whenever
a buffer is physically read from a device. bread fires after the
buffer has been requested from the device, but before blocking pending its completion. |
bwrite |
Probe
that fires whenever a buffer is about to be written out to
a device, whether synchronously or asynchronously. |
idlethread |
Probe that fires whenever a CPU enters the
idle loop. |
intrblk |
Probe that fires whenever an interrupt thread blocks. |
inv_swtch |
Probe that fires whenever
a running thread is forced to involuntarily give up the CPU. |
lread |
Probe that fires
whenever a buffer is logically read from a device. |
lwrite |
Probe that fires whenever
a buffer is logically written to a device |
modload |
Probe that fires whenever a
kernel module is loaded. |
modunload |
Probe that fires whenever a kernel module is unloaded. |
msg |
Probe
that fires whenever a msgsnd(2) or msgrcv(2) system call is made, but
before the message queue operations have been performed. |
mutex_adenters |
Probe that fires whenever an attempt
is made to acquire an owned adaptive lock. If this probe fires, one
of the lockstat provider's adaptive-block or adaptive-spin probes will also fire. See Chapter 18, lockstat Provider
for details. |
namei |
Probe that fires whenever a name lookup is attempted in the filesystem. |
nthreads |
Probe
that fires whenever a thread is created. |
phread |
Probe that fires whenever a raw
I/O read is about to be performed. |
phwrite |
Probe that fires whenever a raw
I/O write is about to be performed. |
procovf |
Probe that fires whenever a new
process cannot be created because the system is out of process table entries. |
pswitch |
Probe
that fires whenever a CPU switches from executing one thread to executing another. |
readch |
Probe
that fires after each successful read, but before control is returned to the
thread performing the read. A read may occur through the read(2), readv(2)
or pread(2) system calls. arg0 contains the number of bytes that were successfully
read. |
rw_rdfails |
Probe that fires whenever an attempt is made to read-lock a readers/writer when
the lock is either held by a writer, or desired by a
writer. If this probe fires, the lockstat provider's rw-block probe will also fire. See
Chapter 18, lockstat Provider for details. |
rw_wrfails |
Probe that fires whenever an attempt is made to write-lock
a readers/writer lock when the lock is held either by some number of
readers or by another writer. If this probe fires, the lockstat provider's rw-block
probe will also fire. See Chapter 18, lockstat Provider for details. |
sema |
Probe that fires whenever a
semop(2) system call is made, but before any semaphore operations have been performed. |
sysexec |
Probe
that fires whenever an exec(2) system call is made. |
sysfork |
Probe that fires whenever a
fork(2) system call is made. |
sysread |
Probe that fires whenever a read(2), readv(2), or pread(2)
system call is made. |
sysvfork |
Probe that fires whenever a vfork(2) system call is made. |
syswrite |
Probe
that fires whenever a write(2), writev(2), or pwrite(2) system call is made. |
trap |
Probe
that fires whenever a processor trap occurs. Note that some processors, in particular
UltraSPARC variants, handle some light-weight traps through a mechanism that does not cause
this probe to fire. |
ufsdirblk |
Probe that fires whenever a directory block is read
from the UFS file system. See ufs(7FS) for details on UFS. |
ufsiget |
Probe that fires whenever
an inode is retrieved. See ufs(7FS) for details on UFS. |
ufsinopage |
Probe that fires
after an in-core inode without any associated data pages has been made available
for reuse. See ufs(7FS) for details on UFS. |
ufsipage |
Probe that fires after an
in-core inode with associated data pages has been made available for reuse. This
probe fires after the associated data pages have been flushed to disk. See
ufs(7FS) for details on UFS. |
writech |
Probe that fires after each successful write, but
before control is returned to the thread performing the write. A write may
occur through the write(2), writev(2) or pwrite(2) system calls. arg0 contains the number
of bytes that were successfully written. |
xcalls |
Probe that fires whenever a cross-call is
about to be made. A cross-call is the operating system's mechanism for one
CPU to request immediate work of another CPU. |
