strace 4.22
NEWS for strace version 4.22
-
Changes in infrastructure
- The mailing list was moved to strace-devel@lists.strace.io.
- SourceForge git repository
(https://sourceforge.net/p/strace/code/ci/master/tree/) is no longer
maintained. Please use GitLab (https://gitlab.com/strace/strace/)
or GitHub (https://github.com/strace/strace/) repository instead.
-
Changes in behaviour
- When printing string data, '8' and '9' following an octal escape sequence
no longer lead to unabbreviated octal escape sequence output, as they used
to do. - Angle brackets are now printed as octal number escape sequences
in the output of paths associated with file descriptors. - Data dump for write syscalls (-e write) is performed regardless
of successfulness of these syscall (addresses Debian bug #436284). - -r and -t options are now affect output independently. Previously,
-r option led to ignoring of the -t option (addresses Debian bug #466195).
- When printing string data, '8' and '9' following an octal escape sequence
-
Improvements
- Implemented delay injection (-e inject=SET:delay_enter= and
-e inject=SET:delay_exit= options). - Added -A option for opening output files in append mode
(addresses Debian bug #528488). - IPv6 addresses shown in socket information in -yy mode are now printed
in brackets. - Enhanced decoding of bpf, prctl and ptrace syscalls.
- Enhanced decoding of BTRFS_IOC_INO_PATHS, BTRFS_IOC_LOGICAL_INO, and PTP_*
ioctl commands. - Enhanced NETLINK_ROUTE protocol decoding.
- Updated lists of signal codes.
- Updated lists of BPF_*, BTN_*, ETH_P_*, INET_DIAG_BC_*, KEY_*, POLL*, RWF_*,
SCHED_FLAG_*, SCTP_* and error constants. - Implemented block/character device number printing in -yy mode.
- Known pixel/SDR format names are printed as comments for pixelformat fields
in v4l2 structures. - Enhanced decoding of kern_features syscall.
- Enhanced NETLINK_NETFILTER netlink protocol decoder.
- Optimized handling of large number of tracees.
- Improved wall clock time measurement in syscall count statistics
(-c -w option). - Extended the range of allowed values in -e inject=...:retval= expression.
- Added i18n support.
- Updated lists of ioctl commands from Linux 4.16.
- Enhanced manual page.
- Implemented delay injection (-e inject=SET:delay_enter= and
-
Bug fixes
- Fixed build on m68k.
- Fixed v4l2 pixelformat decoding on big-endian architectures.
- Fixed -O option.

as file descriptors. - Added decoding of get_tls syscall on arm.
- Added -e trace=%pure option for tracing system calls with no arguments that
never fail. - Updated lists of IPV6_*, MAP_*, MEMBARRIER_CMD_*, MSG_*, NT_*, PKEY_*,
SHM_*, and TCP_* constants. - Added manual page for the strace-log-merge command.
- Updated lists of ioctl commands from Linux 4.15.
- Implemented biarch support for s390x.
- Implemented an optional support for symbol demangling in strace -k output
(activated by --with-libiberty configure option). - Information about availability of dema
8000
ngling and reliable personality
decoding (on architectures with multiple personalities) is now available
in strace -V output. - Added decoding of pkey_alloc, pkey_free, and pkey_mprotect syscalls on

Bug fixes
- Fixed multi-personality support in cross builds.

syscalls to %desc tracing set. - Fixed path tracing support for mmap syscalls with indirect arguments and
for old select syscall. - Fixed decoding of arm-specific (_ARM_NR*) syscalls.
- Fixed open mode flags decoding.
- Fixed corner cases in handling of strace -ff -ttt logs by strace-log-merge.
- Error counts that exceed one billion are now printed correctly in call
summary output. - Fixed call summary header for x32 personality.
- Changes of tracee personalities are reported more reliably.
- Fixed the case when strace attaches to a tracee being inside exec and its
first syscall stop is syscall-exit-stop instead of syscall-enter-stop,
which messed up all the syscall state tracking. - Fixed printing of higher 32 bits of the return value for x32 personality.
-
Portability
- A C compiler that supports "for" loop initial declarations is now required.
- Inability to configure multiple personality support on architectures where
multiple personalities are supported leads to configuration failure during
build now. Use --enable-mpers=check to revert to the old behaviour. - Build-time requirement for the mpers support has been lowered from gawk 4
to gawk 3. - Removed incomplete and non-functional support for the CRIS architecture.
- Removed incomplete and unused support for IA-32 mode on the IA-64
architecture.
