Matching function parameters and corresponding return value


Hi all,

I would like to watch calls to a preemptible function such as sys_open():
ideally, I would like to know both the tentatively accessed files and the success (or not) of the various calls.


But I don't see how to do this: of course, I can without problem register a jprobe and a kretprobe on sys_open(), both how do I correlate pairs of probe calls reliably? Or is it just the wrong approach?

Any insight on how to do this, either with SystemTap or directly with Kprobes would be really appreciated!
