Syntax Error: Unterminated Quoted String when using Intel's PIN tool on controlCARD executable

I am having some issues with Intel's PIN tool when obtaining the dynamic trace from a program's executable. I have previously used this tool on other programs successfully. I wrote some code for TI's Piccolo TMS320F28035 Isolated controlCARD. I was…

Creating traces of SPEC using pin

I tried to create traces of spec2006 but don't know what program to pass in pin -t obj-intel64/champsim_tracer.so -- there are lots of cpp files in just one int program like bzip2 and gcc.

Intel Pin GDB Runtime Overhead

I am running a Python gdb script on a program that runs with a Pintool. Specifically, I used the -appdebug_enable switch and created a semantic breakpoint in the Pintool that automatically triggers the breakpoint and runs the Python script that I…

Intel PIN: How do I see speculative instructions?

I'm writing a PIN tool where I want to see speculatively executed instructions that were eventually squashed. I.e. if a branch direction was predicted, some instructions were executed speculatively, the branch direction was resolved and the…

Pin tool: wrap all routines with an entry/exit function via RTN_Replace

Using Pin, I would like to call some instrumentation function before and after each application function call. I've read that RTN_InsertCall to add some entry/exit analysis functions with IPOINT_BEFORE and IPOINT_AFTER is unreliable as the exit may…

How to identify the symbols in the symbol table are my 'application' functions

I have an example C program test.c that defines three functions only: main, fn1 and fn2: void fn1(void){...} void fn2(void){...} int main(int argc, char** argv){...} Compiling and then extracting the symbol table of this program (via nm ./test)…

Trace page table access of a Linux process

I am writing to inquire the feasibility of tracing the page table access (in terms of "index" of each page table access) of a common Linux user application. Basically, what I am doing is to re-produce the exploitation mentioned in this research…

Intel pin and chrono conflicts

I try to measure the runtime of the program using Intel Pin. For this purpose I include chrono in my project. However It is not going to compile well. It gives a lot of errors. Furthermore, I tried to include chrono to many standart Intel Pin…

Intel Pin Modifying Instruction Addresses

I am trying to do some instruction analysis of an executable-binary using Intel Pin-tool instrumentation. Upon analyzing the executed instructions in my Pin-tool, I am observing that the instruction address (program counter) value-range received is…

Perf Backtrace not Reproducible in Pin

I ran Perf multiple times and there were many backtraces in all of them not reproducible in Pin. Note that GDB could reproduce those backtraces. Here, I will show one of them: evince 13293 3713.930210: 100 mem_load_uops_retired.l3_miss:uppp:…

Raw opcode from xed decoded data structures?

I am new to Intel Pintools, and am trying to write a pintool that stops at a given instruction type and then looks for specific instructions following it in the section. I've got the xed decoding working, but I am stuck at the part where I get the…

Cleared Set in the Child Process

I have a multiprocess application and I trace it in Pin using the follow_execv switch. To put it simply, there exists a fork in the program. Before the fork occurs, I create a set and make some insertions. Right after fork, because of the…

What is the rule behind instruction count in Intel PIN?

I wanted to count instructions in simple recursive fibo function O(2^n). I succeded to do so with bubble sort and matrix multiplication, but in this case it seemed like instruction count ignored my fibo function. Here is the code used for…

What does Intel PIN instruction count depend on and why it varies between executions?

I would like to get instruction count for bubblesort algorithm using Intel PIN. I thought that maybe I could analyse how instruction count increases, when there is more data to sort. But the result varies between executions for the same set of…
