      kprobes: Use text_poke_smp_batch for unoptimizing · f984ba4e
      Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
      Use text_poke_smp_batch() on unoptimization path for reducing
      the number of stop_machine() issues. If the number of
      unoptimizing probes is more than MAX_OPTIMIZE_PROBES(=256),
      kprobes unoptimizes first MAX_OPTIMIZE_PROBES probes and kicks
      optimizer for remaining probes.

      kprobes: Use text_poke_smp_batch for optimizing · cd7ebe22
      Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
      Use text_poke_smp_batch() in optimization path for reducing
      the number of stop_machine() issues. If the number of optimizing
      probes is more than MAX_OPTIMIZE_PROBES(=256), kprobes optimizes
      first MAX_OPTIMIZE_PROBES probes and kicks optimizer for
      remaining probes.
      
      Changes in v5:
      - Use kick_kprobe_optimizer() instead of directly calling
        schedule_delayed_work().
      - Rescheduling optimizer outside of kprobe mutex lock.
      
      Changes in v2:
      - Allocate code buffer and parameters in arch_init_kprobes()
        instead of using static arraies.
      - Merge previous max optimization limit patch into this patch.
        So, this patch introduces upper limit of optimization at
        once.

      kprobes: Support delayed unoptimizing · 6274de49
      Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
      Unoptimization occurs when a probe is unregistered or disabled,
      and is heavy because it recovers instructions by using
      stop_machine(). This patch delays unoptimization operations and
      unoptimize several probes at once by using
      text_poke_smp_batch(). This can avoid unexpected system slowdown
      coming from stop_machine().
      
      Changes in v5:
      - Split this patch into several cleanup patches and this patch.
      - Fix some text_mutex lock miss.
      - Use bool instead of int for behavior flags.
      - Add additional comment for (un)optimizing path.
      
      Changes in v2:
      - Use dynamic allocated buffers and params.

      Merge disabling kprobe to unregistering kprobe function
      and add comments for disabing/unregistring process.
      
      Current unregistering code disables(disarms) kprobes after
      checking target kprobe status. This patch changes it to
      disabling kprobe first after that it changing the kprobe's
      state. This allows to share probe disabling code between
      disable_kprobe() and unregister_kprobe().

      llseek: automatically add .llseek fop · 6038f373
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
      nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
      .llseek pointer.
      
      The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
      and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
      the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
      the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
      
      New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
      and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
      to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
      relies on calling seek on the device file.
      
      The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
      comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
      chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
      be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
      seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
      
      Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
      the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
      
      Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
      patch that does all this.

      kprobes: Introduce kprobes jump optimization · afd66255
      Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
      Introduce kprobes jump optimization arch-independent parts.
      Kprobes uses breakpoint instruction for interrupting execution
      flow, on some architectures, it can be replaced by a jump
      instruction and interruption emulation code. This gains kprobs'
      performance drastically.
      
      To enable this feature, set CONFIG_OPTPROBES=y (default y if the
      arch supports OPTPROBE).
      
      Changes in v9:
       - Fix a bug to optimize probe when enabling.
       - Check nearby probes can be optimize/unoptimize when disarming/arming
         kprobes, instead of registering/unregistering. This will help
         kprobe-tracer because most of probes on it are usually disabled.
      
      Changes in v6:
       - Cleanup coding style for readability.
       - Add comments around get/put_online_cpus().
      
      Changes in v5:
       - Use get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus() for avoiding text_mutex
         deadlock.

      Prevent re-registration of the same kprobe. This situation, though
      unlikely, needs to be flagged since it can lead to a system crash if
      it's not handled.
      
      The core change itself is small, but the helper routine needed to be
      moved around a bit; hence the diffstat.

      kprobes/x86-32: Move irq-exit functions to kprobes section · a00e817f
      Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
      Move irq-exit functions to .kprobes.text section to protect against
      kprobes recursion.
      
      When I ran kprobe stress test on x86-32, I found below symbols
      cause unrecoverable recursive probing:
      
      	ret_from_exception
      	ret_from_intr
      	check_userspace
      	restore_all
      	restore_all_notrace
      	restore_nocheck
      	irq_return
      
      And also, I found some interrupt/exception entry points that
      cause similar problems.
      
      This patch moves those symbols (including their container functions)
      to .kprobes.text section to prevent any kprobes probing.

      tracing/kprobes: Dump the culprit kprobe in case of kprobe recursion · 24851d24
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      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.
