PROBE::STAP.CACHE_(3stap)

💖 PROBE::STAP.CACHE_ (3stap) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the SystemTap Translator Tapset corner of the man pages 🌸 this one's a probe page, she's short, she's sweet, and she's literally about watching a kernel module slide into the cache. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

probe::stap.cache_add_mod — adding kernel instrumentation module to cache 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

probe stap.cache_add_mod {}

no arguments, no drama, she just fires. periodt 💅

---

✨ VALUES ✨

these are the little goodies this probe hands you when she goes off 👑

• dest_path — the path the .ko file is going to (incl filename), like where the module is headed, destination vibes only 🧳✨
• source_path — the path the .ko file is coming from (incl filename), aka where she was living before the big move 🏠➡️📦

both of these include the filename, bestie. don't forget the filename. the filename is part of the deal 🙈

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this probe fires just before the file is actually moved. like, the moment right before the glow-up happens, the outfit is on, the door is opening — but she hasn't walked out yet 💫

⚠️ note note note: if the moving fails, then cache_add_src and cache_add_nss will not fire. so if you're sitting there waiting for those two and they never show up… yeah. the move flopped. that's why. 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie, no cap 🍓 go forth and probe responsibly 🌈
