When ftrace had issues with NMIs, it was needed to annotate all the areas that kprobes had issues with notrace. Now that ftrace is NMI safe, the functions that limit ftrace from tracing are just a small few. Kprobes is too big of a set for ftrace not to trace. Remove the coupling.

Kprobes can enter into a probing recursion, ie: a kprobe that does an endless loop because one of its core mechanism function used during probing is also probed itself. This patch helps pinpointing the kprobe that raised such recursion by dumping it and raising a BUG instead of a warning (we also disarm the kprobe to try avoiding recursion in BUG itself). Having a BUG instead of a warning stops the stacktrace in the right place and doesn't pollute the logs with hundreds of traces that eventually end up in a stack overflow.

Add disable_kprobe() and enable_kprobe() to disable/enable kprobes temporarily. disable_kprobe() asynchronously disables probe handlers of specified kprobe. So, after calling it, some handlers can be called at a while. enable_kprobe() enables specified kprobe. aggr_pre_handler and aggr_post_handler check disabled probes. On the other hand aggr_break_handler and aggr_fault_handler don't check it because these handlers will be called while executing pre or post handlers and usually those help error handling.

Allows kprobes to probe __exit routine. This adds flags member to struct kprobe. When module is freed(kprobes hooks module_notifier to get this event), kprobes which probe the functions in that module are set to "Gone" flag to the flags member. These "Gone" probes are never be enabled. Users can check the GONE flag through debugfs. This also removes mod_refcounted, because we couldn't free a module if kprobe incremented the refcount of that module.

Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table. We have one global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists. This causes only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time. Hence affects system performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on lot of functions (like on all systemcalls). Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP system compared to present kretprobe implementation. Solution: 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table. We will have two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another lock for kretporbe object. 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list. To prevent deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe lock. 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash table.

Prohibit users from probing preempt_schedule(). One way of prohibiting the user from probing functions is by marking such functions with __kprobes. But this method doesn't work for those functions, which are already marked to different section like preempt_schedule() (belongs to __sched section). So we use blacklist approach to refuse user from probing these functions. In blacklist approach we populate the blacklisted function's starting address and its size in kprobe_blacklist structure. Then we verify the user specified address against start and end of the blacklisted function. So any attempt to register probe on blacklisted functions will be rejected.

Here is a quick and naive smoke test for kprobes. This is intended to just verify if some unrelated change broke the *probes subsystem. It is self contained, architecture agnostic and isn't of any great use by itself. This needs to be built in the kernel and runs a basic set of tests to verify if kprobes, jprobes and kretprobes run fine on the kernel. In case of an error, it'll print out a message with a "BUG" prefix. This is a start; we intend to add more tests to this bucket over time.

I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use. This guy I know once wrote code like this: struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" }; And then his kernel exploded. Oops. This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text address that it represents. We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.

Currently jprobe.entry is a kprobe_opcode_t *, but that's a lie. On some platforms it doesn't point to an opcode at all, it points to a function descriptor. It's really a pointer to something that the arch code can turn into a function entry point. And that's what actually happens, none of the generic code ever looks at jprobe.entry, it's only ever dereferenced by arch code. So just make it a void *.

This patch provides a debugfs knob to turn kprobes on/off o A new file /debug/kprobes/enabled indicates if kprobes is enabled or not (default enabled) o Echoing 0 to this file will disarm all installed probes o Any new probe registration when disabled will register the probe but not arm it. A message will be printed out in such a case. o When a value 1 is echoed to the file, all probes (including ones registered in the intervening period) will be enabled o Unregistration will happen irrespective of whether probes are globally enabled or not. o Update Documentation/kprobes.txt to reflect these changes. While there also update the doc to make it current. We are also looking at providing sysrq key support to tie to the disabling feature provided by this patch.

When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some processes might be preempted on the buffer. The freeze_processes() and thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer. There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag. If those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing. However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time. So, this patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot. It also introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency. The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released immediately. But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are marked as garbages. collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release "dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if there are no unused slots.

In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that: o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe. The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have to specify the ".symbols" o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to specify an offset into a symbol. o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported. However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified, probe registration fails with an -EINVAL. o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't work, say, on powerpc) Signed-off-by: NAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NPrasanna S Panchamukhi <prasanna@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NChristoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

We need to allow modules to probe themself for kprobes performance measurements This patch has been tested on several x86_64, ppc64 and IA64 architectures.

The following patch (against 2.6.15-rc5-mm3) fixes a kprobes build break due to changes introduced in the kprobe locking in 2.6.15-rc5-mm3. In addition, the patch reverts back the open-coding of kprobe_mutex.

Currently arch_remove_kprobes() is only implemented/required for x86_64 and powerpc. All other architecture like IA64, i386 and sparc64 implementes a dummy function which is being called from arch independent kprobes.c file. This patch removes the dummy functions and replaces it with #define arch_remove_kprobe(p, s) do { } while(0) Signed-off-by: NAnil S Keshavamurthy <anil.s.keshavamurthy@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Since Kprobes runtime exception handlers is now lock free as this code path is now using RCU to walk through the list, there is no need for the register/unregister{_kprobe} to use spin_{lock/unlock}_isr{save/restore}. The serialization during registration/unregistration is now possible using just a mutex. In the above process, this patch also fixes a minor memory leak for x86_64 and powerpc.

When multiple probes are registered at the same address and if due to some recursion (probe getting triggered within a probe handler), we skip calling pre_handlers and just increment nmissed field. The below patch make sure it walks the list for multiple probes case. Without the below patch we get incorrect results of nmissed count for multiple probe case.

For Kprobes critical path is the path from debug break exception handler till the control reaches kprobes exception code. No probes can be supported in this path as we will end up in recursion. This patch prevents this by moving the below function to safe __kprobes section onto which no probes can be inserted.

Changes to the base kprobes infrastructure to use RCU for synchronization during kprobe registration and unregistration. These changes coupled with the arch kprobe changes (next in series): a. serialize registration and unregistration of kprobes. b. enable lockless execution of handlers. Handlers can now run in parallel.
