Noteworthy changes in strace 5.0 (2019-03-19) ============================================= * Changes in behavior * -D option now implies -I4: by default strace ignores SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT, SIGPIPE, SIGTERM, SIGTTIN, SIGTTOU, and SIGTSTP when -D option is used. * Diagnostic message is no longer printed if an attempt to restart a process has failed with ESRCH. (Addresses RHBZ bug #1662936.) * ASCII dump no longer tries to read the whole buffer at once. As result, it can fail with a diagnostic message after dumping only a part. Amount of preceding zeroes printed for offset is now chosen in a way to accommodate all the digits of all the offsets being printed. * Improvements * Changed the way tracees are handled: all pending tracees are now waited for before further processing, this improves fairness of tracee processing. (Addresses RHBZ bugs #478419, #526740, #851457, #1609318, #1610774, and maybe some others.) * Enhanced xlat styles support configured by -X option. * Enhanced decoding of bpf syscall. * Enhanced decoding of PTRACE_PEEKUSER and PTRACE_POKEUSER on hppa. * Enhanced pid formatting in strace-log-merge output. * Wired up kexec_file_load and rseq syscalls on aarch64, arc, metag, nios2, or1k, riscv, and tile architectures. * Updated lists of BPF_*, BTRFS_*, FAN_*, IFLA_*, KERN_*, KVM_CAP_*, NDA_*, NETNSA_*, NT_*, PR_*, REL_*, SECCOMP_*, SCTP_*, UDP_*, V4L2_*, and *_MAGIC constants. * Updated lists of ioctl commands from Linux 5.0. * Bug fixes * Fixed ordering of sockaddr_in6 fields. * Fixed strace-k test on alpha. * Fixed build on mips o32. * Fixed build on NOMMU architectures. * Fixed build in --with-libiberty=yes mode. * Fixed potential NULL dereference during printing of line continuation for syscalls that haven't been decoded. * Fixed strace-log-merge error diagnostics.

NEWS for strace version 4.23 ============================ * Changes in behaviour * On x32 personality, 64-bit syscalls (such as readv) are now shown with "strace#64" suffix instead of "64:" prefix. Unlike the old names, these new names can be used in syscall qualification expressions. * Changed error number output format: error numbers are consistently printed as "-1 ECONST (Error description)" for known errors and as "-1 (errno 123)" for unknown errors, regardless of -e raw qualification settings. One can specify -X raw for displaying raw error numbers unconditionally. * Unfetchable addresses inside arrays are now printed as comments. * Obsolete IA-32 mode syscall names are no longer printed on ia64. * Improvements * Implemented libdw backend for -k option, configured at build time using --with-libdw option. Whether -k option is compiled is now configured at build time using --enable-stacktrace option. * Added -X option for configuring xlat output formatting (addresses Debian bug #692915). * Added support for personality designation ("64", "32", or "x32") to syscall qualifications in -e trace expressions. * Implemented injection of syscalls with no side effects as an alternative to injection of an invalid syscall (-e inject=SET:syscall= expression). * Improved support for reproducible builds (addresses Debian bug #896016). * Implemented decoding of BPF_PROG_QUERY and BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN bpf syscall commands. * Implemented decoding of INOTIFY_IOC_SETNEXTWD and PERF_EVENT_IOC_* ioctl commands. * Implemented decoding of PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL and PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL prctl syscall options. * Enhanced decoding of bpf, getsockopt, setsockopt, and socket syscalls. * Enhanced decoding of NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT and NETLINK_ROUTE protocols. * Enhanced decoding of *_DIAG_MEMINFO netlink attributes. * Enhanced decoding of BTRFS_*, FS_IOC_*, SIOCGIFHWADDR, and SIOCSIFHWADDR ioctl commands. * Enhanced decoding of AF_BLUETOOTH socket addresses. * Implemented decoding of io_pgetevent syscall. * Wired up rseq syscall. * Updated lists of ADJ_*, BPF_*, BPF_F_*, BPF_PROG_TYPE_*, ETH_P_*, FPE_*, IFF_*, IPPROTO_*, MAP_*, MS_*, MSG_*, NETLINK_*, PACKET_*, PROT_*, SCTP_*, SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_*, SEGV_*, SEM_*, SHM_*, SW_*, V4L2_CID_*, V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_*, and V4L2_PIX_FMT_* constants. * Updated lists of ioctl commands from Linux 4.17. * Bug fixes * Fixed decoding of msgtyp argument of msgrcv syscall. * Fixed fallback definitions for F_*, MCL_*, MSG_ZEROCOPY, SI_*, and SOL_SOCKET constants. * Fixed -e trace=%pure expression on mips.

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). * 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. * Bug fixes * Fixed build on m68k. * Fixed v4l2 pixelformat decoding on big-endian architectures. * Fixed -O option.

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.
