Linux strace使用

1、简介

strace是Linux环境下的一款程序调试工具，用来监察一个应用程序所使用的系统呼叫及它所接收的系统信息。

Strace是一个基础的调试工具，strace常用来跟踪进程执行时的系统调用和所接收的信号。 在Linux世界，进程不能直接访问硬件设备，当进程需要访问硬件设备(比如读取磁盘文件，接收网络数据等等)时，必须由用户态模式切换至内核态模式，通过系统调用访问硬件设备。strace可以跟踪到一个进程产生的系统调用,包括参数，返回值，执行消耗的时间。

2、下载

下载地址：http://sourceforge.net/projects/strace/

[oracle@xml-ora1 ~]$ wgethttp://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/strace/strace/4.7/strace-4.7.tar.xz

3、解压安装

这种文件是使用tar打包后再压缩生成的。解压方法是：

　　1、xz -d **.tar.xz

　　2、tar -xvf **.tar

如没有按照xz工具，则首先需要下载、安装xz工具：http://tukaani.org/xz/

 

[oracle@xml-ora1 ~]$ wget http://tukaani.org/xz/xz-5.0.4.tar.gz

[oracle@xml-ora1 ~]$ tar -zxvf xz-5.0.4.tar.gz

[oracle@xml-ora1 ~]$ cd xz-5.0.4

[oracle@xml-ora1 xz-5.0.4]$ ./configure

[oracle@xml-ora1 xz-5.0.4]$ make

[oracle@xml-ora1 xz-5.0.4]$ sudo make install

[oracle@xml-ora1 ~]$ xz --help

Usage: xz [OPTION]... [FILE]...

Compress or decompress FILEs in the .xzformat.

  -z,--compress      force compression

  -d, --decompress    force decompression

  -t,--test          test compressed fileintegrity

  -l,--list          list information about.xz files

  -k,--keep          keep (don't delete) inputfiles

  -f,--force         force overwrite of outputfile and (de)compress links

  -c,--stdout        write to standard outputand don't delete input files

  -0... -9           compression preset;default is 6; take compressor *and*

                      decompressor memory usageinto account before using 7-9!

  -e,--extreme       try to improvecompression ratio by using more CPU time;

                      does not affectdecompressor memory requirements

  -q,--quiet         suppress warnings;specify twice to suppress errors too

  -v,--verbose       be verbose; specify twicefor even more verbose

  -h,--help          display this short helpand exit

  -H,--long-help     display the long help(lists also the advanced options)

  -V,--version       display the versionnumber and exit

With no FILE, or when FILE is -, readstandard input.

[oracle@xml-ora1 ~]$ xz -d strace-4.7.tar.xz

[oracle@xml-ora1 ~]$ ls

strace-4.7.tar 

[oracle@xml-ora1 ~]$ tar -xvf strace-4.7.tar

[oracle@xml-ora1 strace-4.7]$ ./configure

[oracle@xml-ora1 strace-4.7]$ make

[oracle@xml-ora1 strace-4.7]$ sudo make install

4、命令说明

[oracle@xml-ora1 strace-4.7]$ strace --help

strace: invalid option -- -

usage: strace [-CdffhiqrtttTvVxxy] [-I n] [-eexpr]...

              [-a column] [-o file] [-sstrsize] [-P path]...

              -p pid... / [-D] [-E var=val]...[-u username] PROG [ARGS]

  or: strace -c[df] [-I n] [-e expr]... [-O overhead] [-S sortby]

              -p pid... / [-D] [-E var=val]...[-u username] PROG [ARGS]

-c -- count time, calls, and errors foreach syscall and report summary统计每一系统调用的所执行的时间,次数和出错的次数等.

-C -- like -c but also print regular output和-c参数意义，但是输出更多信息

-d -- enable debug output to stderr  输出strace关于标准错误的调试信息.

-D -- run tracer process as a detachedgrandchild, not as parent

-f -- follow forks, -ff -- with output intoseparate files  告诉strace同时跟踪fork出来的进程

-F -- attempt to follow vforks (deprecated,use -f) 告诉strace同时跟踪vfork出来的进程

-i -- print instruction pointer at time ofsyscall    输出系统调用的入口指针.

-q -- suppress messages about attaching,detaching, etc.  禁止输出关于脱离的消息

-r -- print relative timestamp, -t --absolute timestamp, -tt -- with usecs 打印出时间，tt表示微妙

-T -- print time spent in each syscall 打印出每个系统调用的耗费时间

-v -- verbose mode: print unabbreviatedargv, stat, termios, etc. args输出strace的版本信息

-x -- print non-ascii strings in hex, -xx-- print all strings in hex以十六进制形式输出非标准字符串

-y -- print paths associated with filedescriptor arguments

-h -- print help message, -V -- printversion输出简要的帮助信息.

-a column -- alignment COLUMN for printingsyscall results (default 40)设置结果的输出默认位置40

-e expr -- a qualifying expression: 指定一个表达式,用来控制如何跟踪.格式如下

option=[!]all or option=[!]val1[,val2]...

  options: trace, abbrev, verbose, raw, signal, read, or write

-e trace=set

只跟踪指定的系统调用.例如:-e trace=open,close,rean,write表示只跟踪这四个系统调用.默认的为set=all

-e trace=file

只跟踪有关文件操作的系统调用.

-e trace=process

只跟踪有关进程控制的系统调用.

-e trace=network

跟踪与网络有关的所有系统调用.

-estrace=signal

跟踪所有与系统信号有关的系统调用

-e trace=ipc

跟踪所有与进程通讯有关的系统调用

-eabbrev=set

设定 strace输出的系统调用的结果集.-v 等与 abbrev=none.默认为abbrev=all.

-e raw=set

将指 定的系统调用的参数以十六进制显示.

-esignal=set

指定跟踪的系统信号.默认为all.如signal=!SIGIO(或者signal=!io),表示不跟踪SIGIO信号.

-e read=set

输出从指定文件中读出的数据.例如:

-e read=3,5

-e write=set

输出写入到指定文件中的数据.

-I interruptible --

   1:no signals are blocked

   2:fatal signals are blocked while decoding syscall (default)

   3:fatal signals are always blocked (default if '-o FILE PROG')

   4:fatal signals and SIGTSTP (^Z) are always blocked

     (useful to make 'strace -o FILE PROG' not stop on ^Z)

-o file -- send trace output to FILEinstead of stderr 将strace的输出写入文件filename

-O overhead -- set overhead for tracingsyscalls to OVERHEAD usecs

-p pid -- trace process with process idPID, may be repeated跟踪指定的进程pid.

-s strsize -- limit length of print stringsto STRSIZE chars (default 32) 指定输出的字符串的最大长度.默认为32.文件名一直全部输出

-u username -- run command as usernamehandling setuid and/or setgid以username 的UID和GID执行被跟踪的命令

-E var=val -- put var=val in theenvironment for command输出变量值

-E var -- remove var from the environmentfor command

-P path -- trace accesses to path

 

5、实例使用

5.1 一个简单的跟踪

有个文件a.txt，我们跟踪下cat文件的系统调用过程：

[oracle@xml-ora1 ~]$ cat a.txt

hello welcome!

12344

[oracle@xml-ora1 ~]$ strace -o cat.log cat a.txt

hello welcome!

12344

[oracle@xml-ora1 ~]$ cat cat.log

execve("/bin/cat",["cat", "a.txt"], [/* 30 vars */]) = 0

open("/lib/libc.so.6",O_RDONLY)        = 3

open("/etc/ld.so.cache",O_RDONLY)      = 3

open("/lib64/libc.so.6",O_RDONLY)      = 3

open("a.txt", O_RDONLY)                 = 3

fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=21,...}) = 0

read(3, "hellowelcome!\n12344\n", 4096) = 21

write(1, "hellowelcome!\n12344\n", 21) = 21

read(3, "", 4096)                       = 0

close(3)                                = 0

close(1)                                = 0

exit_group(0)                           = ?

+++ exited with 0 +++

 

                跟踪文件cat.log里一大堆的东西，前面大部分都是在读取系统环境信息以及库文件，最后才是cat调用系统的信息。同时可以看到一个现象，只有是Open=3的，则说明加载库文件成功，而=-1的加载失败。

5.2 oracle sqlplus跟踪

[oracle@xml-ora1 ~]$ strace -o sqlplus-trace.txtsqlplus / as sysdba

加载执行的程序路径，环境变量，系统库信息

open("/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/lib/libsqlplus.so",O_RDONLY) = 3

open("/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/lib/libclntsh.so.10.1",O_RDONLY) = 3

open("/lib/libc.so.6",O_RDONLY)        = 3

open("/lib64/libc.so.6",O_RDONLY)      = 3

以下是加载oracle字符集文件

open("/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/nls/data/lx1boot.nlb",O_RDONLY) = 3

open("/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/nls/data/lx00001.nlb",O_RDONLY) = 3

open("/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/nls/data/lx20001.nlb",O_RDONLY) = 3                             

open("/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/nls/data/lx10001.nlb",O_RDONLY) = 3

open("/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/nls/data/lx31040.nlb",O_RDONLY) = 3

open("/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/nls/data/lx40001.nlb",O_RDONLY) = 3

以下加载sqlplus的一些文件，待研究，有些名字很清晰表达了组件的作用

open("/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY)            = 8

open("/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/sqlplus/mesg/sp1us.msb",O_RDONLY) = 3

open("/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/sqlplus/mesg/sp2us.msb",O_RDONLY) = 4

open("/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/sqlplus/mesg/cpyus.msb",O_RDONLY) = 5

open("/etc/localtime",O_RDONLY)        = 6

open("/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/oracore/zoneinfo/timezlrg.dat",O_RDONLY) = 6

输出交互信息到屏幕

write(1, "\n", 1)                       = 1

write(1, "SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.4.0- P"..., 70) = 70

write(1, "\n", 1)                       = 1

write(1, "Copyright (c) 1982, 2007,Oracle"..., 56) = 56

write(1, "\n", 1)                       = 1

初始化sqlplus

getcwd("/home/oracle", 256)             = 13

access("/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/network/admin/sqlnet.ora",F_OK) = 0

open("/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/network/admin/sqlnet.ora",O_RDONLY) = 7

open("/etc/passwd",O_RDONLY)           = 7

open("/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/db_1/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql",O_RDONLY) = 8

write(1, "SQL> ", 5) 

                这个就是SQLPLUS初始化的过程，当然可以加上-f选项，此时看到的就是更详细的调用了。
