strace常用来跟踪进程执行时的系统调用和所接收的信号。 在Linux世界,进程不能直接访问硬件设备,当进程需要访问硬件设备(比如读取磁盘文件,接收网络数据等等)时,必须由用户态模式切换至内核态模式,通过系统调用访问硬件设备。strace可以跟踪到一个进程产生的系统调用,包括参数,返回值,执行消耗的时间。
strace使用参数
-p 跟踪指定的进程
-f 跟踪由fork子进程系统调用
-F 尝试跟踪vfork子进程系统调吸入,与-f同时出现时, vfork不被跟踪
-o filename 默认strace将结果输出到stdout。通过-o可以将输出写入到filename文件中
-ff 常与-o选项一起使用,不同进程(子进程)产生的系统调用输出到filename.PID文件
-r 打印每一个系统调用的相对时间
-t 在输出中的每一行前加上时间信息。 -tt 时间确定到微秒级。还可以使用-ttt打印相对时间
-v 输出所有系统调用。默认情况下,一些频繁调用的系统调用不会输出
-s 指定每一行输出字符串的长度,默认是32。文件名一直全部输出
-c 统计每种系统调用所执行的时间,调用次数,出错次数。
-e expr 输出过滤器,通过表达式,可以过滤出掉你不想要输出

通过跟踪php-cgi,我们可以知道,相较与其它二种方法include ‘./hello.inc’的性能是最高的。这里看到strace输出都被截断了,如果你需要看到更多的输出,可以通过-s选项,让strace输出更多内容。
当你发现某个http请求造成CPU占用效骤然升高,你可以通过strace跟踪查找问题的根源。同时,你也可以通过strace -c统计监控你的优化是否生效
#2. MySQL执行语句列表
当发生个http请求的时候,很多时候希望得到这个http请求发生了多少次数据库SELECT操作,是否在同一个mysql connection连接里面完成。这里以访问本页为例子,通过strace来跟踪这些MySQL SELECT查询语句。
//-9514是mysqld的进程号,为了看到整条SQL语句,我们通过-s 1024希望输出更多内容
#strace -f -F -ff -o strace-mysqld -s 1024 -p 9514
#find . -name "strace-mysqld*" -type f -print |xargs grep -n "SELECT.*FROM wp_"
./strace-mysqld.19203:64:
read(19, "\3SELECT option_name, option_value FROM wp_options WHERE autoload = 'yes'", 72) = 72
./strace-mysqld.19203:165:
read(19, "\3SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = 'admin'", 50) = 50
./strace-mysqld.19203:184:
read(19, "\3SELECT meta_key, meta_value FROM wp_usermeta WHERE user_id = 1", 63) = 63
./strace-mysqld.19203:295:
read(19, "\3SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'rewrite_rules' LIMIT 1", 80) = 80
./strace-mysqld.19203:311:
read(19, "\3 SELECT wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.ID = 501
AND wp_posts.post_type = 'post' ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC ", 136) = 136
... (这里省去了一些)
其他
strace远不止这么强大,你可以善用之,我想你会离不开它的。同时,你还可以联合gdb和ltrace,你的工作会更加高效。
strace使用参数
-p 跟踪指定的进程
-f 跟踪由fork子进程系统调用
-F 尝试跟踪vfork子进程系统调吸入,与-f同时出现时, vfork不被跟踪
-o filename 默认strace将结果输出到stdout。通过-o可以将输出写入到filename文件中
-ff 常与-o选项一起使用,不同进程(子进程)产生的系统调用输出到filename.PID文件
-r 打印每一个系统调用的相对时间
-t 在输出中的每一行前加上时间信息。 -tt 时间确定到微秒级。还可以使用-ttt打印相对时间
-v 输出所有系统调用。默认情况下,一些频繁调用的系统调用不会输出
-s 指定每一行输出字符串的长度,默认是32。文件名一直全部输出
-c 统计每种系统调用所执行的时间,调用次数,出错次数。
-e expr 输出过滤器,通过表达式,可以过滤出掉你不想要输出

当你发现某个http请求造成CPU占用效骤然升高,你可以通过strace跟踪查找问题的根源。同时,你也可以通过strace -c统计监控你的优化是否生效
#2. MySQL执行语句列表
当发生个http请求的时候,很多时候希望得到这个http请求发生了多少次数据库SELECT操作,是否在同一个mysql connection连接里面完成。这里以访问本页为例子,通过strace来跟踪这些MySQL SELECT查询语句。
//-9514是mysqld的进程号,为了看到整条SQL语句,我们通过-s 1024希望输出更多内容
#strace -f -F -ff -o strace-mysqld -s 1024 -p 9514
#find . -name "strace-mysqld*" -type f -print |xargs grep -n "SELECT.*FROM wp_"
./strace-mysqld.19203:64:
read(19, "\3SELECT option_name, option_value FROM wp_options WHERE autoload = 'yes'", 72) = 72
./strace-mysqld.19203:165:
read(19, "\3SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = 'admin'", 50) = 50
./strace-mysqld.19203:184:
read(19, "\3SELECT meta_key, meta_value FROM wp_usermeta WHERE user_id = 1", 63) = 63
./strace-mysqld.19203:295:
read(19, "\3SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'rewrite_rules' LIMIT 1", 80) = 80
./strace-mysqld.19203:311:
read(19, "\3 SELECT wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.ID = 501
AND wp_posts.post_type = 'post' ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC ", 136) = 136
... (这里省去了一些)
其他
strace远不止这么强大,你可以善用之,我想你会离不开它的。同时,你还可以联合gdb和ltrace,你的工作会更加高效。
