The interface between the ABI-specific backends and the truss + core was refactored, reducing duplicated code. This prompted + additional follow-on work to add support for more ABIs, including + aarch64 and CloudABI.

+ +

In addition, ptrace(2) was extended to return more + information about the currently executing system call. This + restored behavior that had been present in a previous verison of + truss of knowing the correct number of arguments for all system + calls.

+ +

The fork-following support in truss was reworked to use + native fork following in ptrace(2) rather than forking a new truss + process for each child of a traced process.

+ +

Support for decoding more arguments has also been added in + the last quarter as well. +

+ + + + +

Create a new libsysdecode library to hold shared code + between truss(1) and kdump(1).

+ + + +

Decode more system call arguments.

+ + + +

Add appropriate system call decoding specifications for + freebsd32 system calls.

+ + + +

Implement an ABI for 64-bit Linux binaries under + &os;/amd64.
