      kprobes, extable: Identify kprobes trampolines as kernel text area · 5b485629
      Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
      Improve __kernel_text_address()/kernel_text_address() to return
      true if the given address is on a kprobe's instruction slot
      trampoline.
      
      This can help stacktraces to determine the address is on a
      text area or not.
      
      To implement this atomically in is_kprobe_*_slot(), also change
      the insn_cache page list to an RCU list.
      
      This changes timings a bit (it delays page freeing to the RCU garbage
      collection phase), but none of that is in the hot path.
      
      Note: this change can add small overhead to stack unwinders because
      it adds 2 additional checks to __kernel_text_address(). However, the
      impact should be very small, because kprobe_insn_pages list has 1 entry
      per 256 probes(on x86, on arm/arm64 it will be 1024 probes),
      and kprobe_optinsn_pages has 1 entry per 32 probes(on x86).
      In most use cases, the number of kprobe events may be less
      than 20, which means that is_kprobe_*_slot() will check just one entry.

      perf/x86: Set pmu->module in Intel PMU modules · 74545f63
      David Carrillo-Cisneros 提交于
      The conversion of Intel PMU drivers into modules did not include reference
      counting. The machine will crash when attempting to  access deleted code
      if an event from a module PMU is started and the module removed before the
      event is destroyed.
      
      i.e. this crashes the machine:
      
      	$ insmod intel-rapl-perf.ko
      	$ perf stat -e power/energy-cores/ -C 0 &
      	$ rmmod intel-rapl-perf.ko
      
      Set THIS_MODULE to pmu->module in Intel module PMUs so that generic code
      can handle reference counting and deny rmmod while an event still exists.
