Hello,

It's somewhat bothersome that ktrace doesn't dump the actual values for the
structures that were passed in as the arguments to a syscall. All you see are
addresses, and may be you can see some translated to names, but that's about
it. It would be nice if one can see inside the actual structures, which would be
operation specific.

Would it be reasonable to add another facility, define the structures for
ktr_header.ktr_buf, to be able to accommodate arbitrary structures and the
definitions of such, and then start instrumenting the syscalls, where feasible,
to dump their arguments into trace stream ?

So, why is this a stupid idea ?

Thanks,
Pawel.
