1Demonstrations of mountsnoop.
2
3mountsnoop traces the mount() and umount syscalls system-wide. For example,
4running the following series of commands produces this output:
5
6# mount --bind /mnt /mnt
7# umount /mnt
8# unshare -m
9# mount --bind /mnt /mnt
10# umount /mnt
11
12# ./mountsnoop.py

15umount           714     714     4026531840  umount("/mnt", 0x0) = 0
16unshare          717     717     4026532160  mount("none", "/", "", MS_REC|MS_PRIVATE, "") = 0
17mount            725     725     4026532160  mount("/mnt", "/mnt", "", MS_MGC_VAL|MS_BIND, "") = 0
18umount           728     728     4026532160  umount("/mnt", 0x0) = 0

20The output shows the calling command, its process ID and thread ID, the mount
21namespace the call was made in, and the call itself.
22
23The mount namespace number is an inode number that uniquely identifies the
24namespace in the running system. This can also be obtained from readlink
25/proc/$PID/ns/mnt.

27Note that because of restrictions in BPF, the string arguments to either
28syscall may be truncated.
