1. Article purpose[edit source]

This article provides the basic information needed to start using the Linux tool: strace[1].

2. Introduction[edit source]

The following table provides a brief description of the tool, as well as its availability depending on the software packages:

Yes: this tool is either present (ready to use or to be activated), or can be integrated and activated on the software package.

No: this tool is not present and cannot be integrated, or it is present but cannot be activated on the software package.

Tool STM32MPU Embedded Software distribution STM32MPU Embedded Software distribution for Android™
Warning white.png Warning
STM32MPU Embedded Software distribution for Android™ is no more supported by ST. You can contact our ST partner, Witekio, who can help you to port and maintain it on STM32MP15 platform.
Name Category Purpose Starter Package Developer Package Distribution Package Starter Package Developer Package Distribution Package
strace Tracing tools strace[1] is able to intercept and record the system calls which are called by a process and the signals which are received by another process. Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

3. Installing the trace and debug tool on your target board[edit source]

3.1. Using the STM32MPU Embedded Software distribution[edit source]

strace is installed by default and ready to be used with all STM32MPU Embedded Software Packages.

 which strace
/usr/bin/strace

strace is integrated in weston image distribution through meta-st package: meta-st/meta-st-openstlinux/recipes-st/packagegroups/packagegroup-framework-tools.bb.

RDEPENDS_packagegroup-framework-tools-kernel-base = "\
   can-utils       \
   i2c-tools       \
   strace          \
   usbutils        \
   \
   evtest          \
   memtester       \
   mtd-utils       \
   v4l-utils       \
   "

3.2. Using the STM32MPU Embedded Software distribution for Android™[edit source]

strace is installed by default (/system/bin/strace) and is ready to be used with all STM32MPU software packages for Android™.

 which strace
/system/bin/strace

It is integrated in Android image distribution through Android base makefile: build/make/target/product/base.mk:

# Packages included only for eng or userdebug builds, previously debug tagged
PRODUCT_PACKAGES_DEBUG := \
    logpersist.start \
    perfprofd \
    sqlite3 \
    strace

4. Getting started[edit source]

To use strace, two main methods:

  • by giving, as parameter, the name of program for which you want to list system calls, and its arguments if required:
 strace <Program> [Prog_Args]
  • by giving, as parameter, the PID of the process to be studied:
 strace -p <PID>

Some of useful command options:

-a <num> : alignment num COLUMN for printing syscall results
-r : print relative timestamp
-t : print absolute timestamp
-T : print time spent in each syscall

Other options can be set. For detail, please refer to manual page[2].

5. To go further[edit source]

5.1. Example[edit source]

As example, this is possible to get system call for a multimedia file playback with gst-play:

 strace -rT -a 100 gst-play-1.0 /usr/local/demo/media/ST2297_visionv3.webm
