This allows one to enable DTrace probes relatively early during boot, during SI_SUB_DTRACE_ANON, before dtrace(1) can invoked. The desired enabling is created using dtrace -A, which writes a /boot/dtrace.dof file and uses nextboot(8) to ensure that DTrace kernel modules are loaded and that the DOF file describing the enabling is loaded by loader(8) during the subsequent boot. The trace output can then be fetched with dtrace -a. With this commit, boot-time DTrace is only functional on i386 and amd64: on other architectures, the high-resolution timer frequency is initialized during SI_SUB_CLOCKS and is thus not available when the anonymous tracing state is initialized. On x86, the TSC is used and is thus available earlier. MFC after: 1 month Relnotes: yes |
