profile Probe Arguments

The arguments to the profile probes are as follows:

Argument	Description
arg0	The program counter (PC) in the kernel at the time that the probe fired, or 0 if the current process was not executing in the kernel at the time that the probe fired.
arg1	The PC in the user-level process at the time that the probe fired, or 0 if the current process was executing at the kernel at the time that the probe fired.

As the descriptions imply, if arg0 is non-zero then arg1 is zero; if arg0 is zero then arg1 is non-zero. Thus, you can use arg0 and arg1 to differentiate user-level from kernel level, as in this example:

profile-1ms
{
        @ticks[arg0 ? "kernel" : "user"] = count();
}
