Examples of execsnoop-nd.stp, the Linux SystemTap version. This traces syscalls system-wide, and produces a summary report showing their counts by process ID, process name, and syscall type. For example: # ./syscallbypid-nd.stp Tracing syscall completions...

The output is limited to 2048 rows. If it exceeds that, for example, because of many short-lived processes each with their own PID, then you will see the following error: # ./syscallbypid-nd.stp Tracing syscall completions... Hit Ctrl-C to end. ERROR: Array overflow, check MAXMAPENTRIES near identifier 'num' at ./syscallbypid-nd.stp:32:2 WARNING: Number of errors: 1, skipped probes: 0 WARNING: /usr/local/bin/staprun exited with status: 1 Pass 5: run failed. [man error::pass5] See the oneliners.txt for probing syscalls without breaking down by PID to start with.
