ME ME ME ME ME ME ME Shawn M Moore
@sartak I’m Bawstin’ Moose-lover Infinity Interactive 121݄14༵
What’s my computer doing right now? Q: A: Find out
with DTrace 121݄14༵
iotop $ iotop dtrace: failed to initialize dtrace: DTrace requires
additional privileges You may already have DTrace and not even know it. 121݄14༵
Solaris & OS X (complete) Linux (partial) Profiler (Different and
deeper than NYTProf) Debugger Kernel module “You don’t port DTrace to an OS, you port an OS to DTrace” DTRACE 121݄14༵
SAFE! ɾNo unwanted side effects ɾVery low overhead ɾDo it
in production! 121݄14༵
σϞ pidpersec iotop execsnoop opensnoop dtruss plockstat iosnoop Global (high
level) The metal (low level) 121݄14༵

PROGRAMMABILITY dtrace -n ' syscall::open:entry /strstr(copyinstr(arg0), "corpus") != NULL/ {
printf("%s %s",execname,copyinstr(arg0)); }' Show processes that open a file whose name includes “corpus” 121݄14༵
PROGRAMMABILITY dtrace -n ' syscall::open:entry /strstr(copyinstr(arg0), "corpus") != NULL/ {

DTrace instrumentation points ɾKernel function calls/returns (syscalls too) ɾPerl function
calls/returns ɾSQL execution ɾthreads ɾsignals ɾmany more PROBES 121݄14༵
THE COOL DEMO HEY, FORGETFUL! DEMO THE GPG THING 121݄14༵
PROFILER Devel::NYTProf kicks ass 121݄14༵
PROFILER But there’s more than one way to do it
121݄14༵
PROFILER DEMO: syscalls intuit_method 121݄14༵
XCode’s profiler uses DTrace 121݄14༵
121݄14༵
TRANSLATION “I am comfortable being ignorant and helpless” 121݄14༵
DEBUGGER Request Tracker (e.g. rt.cpan.org) was failing tests on mod_perl.
On only my computer. Probably because of all the Japanese. 121݄14༵
DEBUGGER Failed test 'gpg: error reading key: ެ։伴͕ݟ͔ͭΓ·ͤΜ' doesn't match
'(?-xism:public key not found)' 121݄14༵
DEBUGGER ެ։伴͕ݟ͔ͭΓ·ͤΜ isn’t part of RT’s Japanese i18n 121݄14༵
DEBUGGER ެ։伴͕ݟ͔ͭΓ·ͤΜ possibly from GPG’s i18n? 121݄14༵
DEBUGGER gpg-2.0.18 $ ack -a ެ։伴͕ݟ͔ͭΓ·ͤΜ gpg-2.0.18 $ 121݄14༵
DEBUGGER gpg-2.0.18 $ echo "ެ։伴͕ݟ͔ͭΓ·ͤΜ" | iconv -f UTF-8 -t
EUCJP | xargs ack -ao | iconv -f EUCJP -t UTF-8 Binary file po/ja.gmo matches po/ja.po:2965:ެ։伴͕ݟ͔ͭΓ·ͤΜ po/ja.po:6525:ެ։伴͕ݟ͔ͭΓ·ͤΜ po/ja.po:8311:ެ։伴͕ݟ͔ͭΓ·ͤΜ gpg-2.0.18 $ 121݄14༵
DEBUGGER probably a mis-set $LANG, $LC_ALL? 121݄14༵
DEBUGGER Ͱ LC_ALL=en gpg LC_ALL=ja gpg LC_ALL= gpg opensnoop 121݄14༵
DEBUGGER Without DTrace, woulda had to add print statements to
GPG itself 121݄14༵
DEBUGGER then compiled it 121݄14༵
DEBUGGER then installed it 121݄14༵
DEBUGGER then repeated a couple of times because I’m a
“throw everything til something sticks” kinda guy 121݄14༵
DEBUGGER then cleaned up after all that hot mess 121݄14༵
DEBUGGER DTrace is great for debugging interactions between programs 121݄14༵
DEBUGGER DTrace is great for debugging interactions between YOUR BEAUTIFUL
CODE and THE IDIOTS 121݄14༵
