Change handle_swbp() to set regs->ip = bp_vaddr in advance, this is what consumer->handler() needs but uprobe_get_swbp_addr() is not exported. This also simplifies the code and makes it more consistent across the supported architectures. handle_swbp() becomes the only caller of uprobe_get_swbp_addr(). Signed-off-by:

__skip_sstep() doesn't update regs->ip. Currently this is correct but only "by accident" and it doesn't skip the whole insn. Change it to advance ->ip by the length of the detected 0x66*0x90 sequence. Signed-off-by:

Currrently the are 2 problems with pre-filtering: 1. It is not possible to add/remove a task (mm) after uprobe_register() 2. A forked child inherits all breakpoints and uprobe_consumer can not control this. This patch does the first step to improve the filtering. handler_chain() removes the breakpoints installed by this uprobe from current->mm if all handlers return UPROBE_HANDLER_REMOVE. Note that handler_chain() relies on ->register_rwsem to avoid the race with uprobe_register/unregister which can add/del a consumer, or even remove and then insert the new uprobe at the same address. Perhaps we will add uprobe_apply_mm(uprobe, mm, is_register) and teach copy_mm() to do filter(UPROBE_FILTER_FORK), but I think this change makes sense anyway. Note: instead of checking the retcode from uc->handler, we could add uc->filter(UPROBE_FILTER_BPHIT). But I think this is not optimal to call 2 hooks in a row. This buys nothing, and if handler/filter do something nontrivial they will probably do the same work twice. Signed-off-by:

Finally add uprobe_consumer->filter() and change consumer_filter() to actually call this method. Note that ->filter() accepts mm_struct, not task_struct. Because: 1. We do not have for_each_mm_user(mm, task). 2. Even if we implement for_each_mm_user(), ->filter() can use it itself. 3. It is not clear who will actually need this interface to do the "nontrivial" filtering. Another argument is "enum uprobe_filter_ctx", consumer->filter() can use it to figure out why/where it was called. For example, perhaps we can add UPROBE_FILTER_PRE_REGISTER used by build_map_info() to quickly "nack" the unwanted mm's. In this case consumer should know that it is called under ->i_mmap_mutex. See the previous discussion at http://marc.info/?t=135214229700002 Perhaps we should pass more arguments, vma/vaddr? Note: this patch obviously can't help to filter out the child created by fork(), this will be addressed later. Signed-off-by:

filter_chain() was added into install_breakpoint/remove_breakpoint to simplify the initial changes but this is sub-optimal. This patch shifts the callsite to the callers, register_for_each_vma() and uprobe_mmap(). This way: - It will be easier to add the new arguments. This is the main reason, we can do more optimizations later. - register_for_each_vma(is_register => true) can be optimized, we only need to consult the new consumer. The previous consumers were already asked when they called uprobe_register(). This patch also moves the MMF_HAS_UPROBES check from remove_breakpoint(), this allows to avoid the potentionally costly filter_chain(). Note that register_for_each_vma(is_register => false) doesn't really need to take ->consumer_rwsem, but I don't think it makes sense to optimize this and introduce filter_chain_lockless().

Oleg Nesterov authored
uprobe_register() and uprobe_unregister() are the only users of mutex_lock(uprobes_hash(inode)), and the only reason why we can't simply remove it is that we need to ensure that delete_uprobe() is not possible after alloc_uprobe() and before consumer_add(). IOW, we need to ensure that when we take uprobe->register_rwsem this uprobe is still valid and we didn't race with _unregister() which called delete_uprobe() in between. With this patch uprobe_register() simply checks uprobe_is_active() and retries if it hits this very unlikely race. uprobes_mutex[] is no longer needed and can be removed. There is another reason for this change, prepare_uprobe() should be folded into alloc_uprobe() and we do not want to hold the extra locks around read_mapping_page/etc. Signed-off-by:

The lifetime of uprobe->rb_node and uprobe->inode is not refcounted, delete_uprobe() is called when we detect that uprobe has no consumers, and it would be deadly wrong to do this twice. Change delete_uprobe() to WARN() if it was already called. We use RB_CLEAR_NODE() to mark uprobe "inactive", then RB_EMPTY_NODE() can be used to detect this case. RB_EMPTY_NODE() is not used directly, we add the trivial helper for the next change. Signed-off-by:

uprobe_events counts the number of uprobes in uprobes_tree but it is used as a boolean. We can use RB_EMPTY_ROOT() instead. Probably no_uprobe_events() added by this patch can have more callers, say, mmf_recalc_uprobes(). Signed-off-by:

Now that ->register_rwsem is safe under ->mmap_sem we can kill ->copy_mutex and abuse down_write(&uprobe->consumer_rwsem). This makes prepare_uprobe() even more ugly, but we should kill it anyway. Signed-off-by:

Simply remove UPROBE_RUN_HANDLER and the corresponding code. It can only help if uprobe has a single consumer, and in fact it is no longer needed after handler_chain() was changed to use ->register_rwsem, we simply can not race with uprobe_register(). Signed-off-by:

Now that it safe to use ->consumer_rwsem under ->mmap_sem we can almost finish the implementation of filter_chain(). It still lacks the actual uc->filter(...) call but othewrwise it is ready, just it pretends that ->filter() always returns true. Signed-off-by:

Introduce uprobe->register_rwsem. It is taken for writing around __uprobe_register/unregister. Change handler_chain() to use this sem rather than consumer_rwsem. The main reason for this change is that we have the nasty problem with mmap_sem/consumer_rwsem dependency. filter_chain() needs to protect uprobe->consumers like handler_chain(), but they can not use the same lock. filter_chain() can be called under ->mmap_sem (currently this is always true), but we want to allow ->handler() to play with the probed task's memory, and this needs ->mmap_sem. Alternatively we could use srcu, but synchronize_srcu() is very slow and ->register_rwsem allows us to do more. In particular, we can teach handler_chain() to do remove_breakpoint() if this bp is "nacked" by all consumers, we know that we can't race with the new consumer which does uprobe_register(). See also the next patches. uprobes_mutex[] is almost ready to die. Signed-off-by:
-
Oleg Nesterov authored
To support the filtering uprobe_register() should do register_for_each_vma(true) every time the new consumer comes, we need to install the previously nacked breakpoints. Note: - uprobes_mutex[] should die, what it actually protects is alloc_uprobe(). - UPROBE_RUN_HANDLER should die too, obviously it can't work unless uprobe has a single consumer. The consumer should serialize with _register/_unregister itself. Or this flag should live in uprobe_consumer->state. - Perhaps we can do some optimizations later. For example, if filter_chain() never returns false uprobe can record this fact and avoid the unnecessary register_for_each_vma(). Signed-off-by:

Oleg Nesterov authored
uprobe_unregister() removes the breakpoints only if the last consumer goes away. To support the filtering it should do this every time, we want to remove the breakpoints which nobody else want to keep. Note: given that filter_chain() is not actually implemented, this patch itself doesn't change the behaviour yet, register_for_each_vma(false) is a heavy "nop" unless there are no more consumers.

Oleg Nesterov authored
Add the new helper filter_chain(). Currently it is only placeholder, the comment explains what is should do. We will change it later to consult every consumer to decide whether we need to install the swbp. Until then it works as if any consumer returns true, this matches the current behavior. Change install_breakpoint() to call filter_chain() instead of checking uprobe->consumers != NULL. We obviously need this, and this equally closes the race with _unregister(). Change remove_breakpoint() to call this helper too. Currently this is pointless because remove_breakpoint() is only called when the last consumer goes away, but we will change this. Signed-off-by:

uprobe_consumer->filter() is pointless in its current form, kill it. We will add it back, but with the different signature/semantics. Perhaps we will even re-introduce the callsite in handler_chain(), but not to just skip uc->handler(). Signed-off-by:

register/unregister verifies that inode/uc != NULL. For what? This really looks like "hide the potential problem", the caller should pass the valid data. register() also checks uc->next == NULL, probably to prevent the double-register but the caller can do other stupid/wrong things. If we do this check, then we should document that uc->next should be cleared before register() and add BUG_ON(). Also add the small comment about the i_size_read() check. Signed-off-by:

A sweep of the kernel for regex "kcalloc(sizeof" turned up 2 reversed args, fixed in commit d3d09e18 ("EDAC: Fix kcalloc argument order") and also fixed in the networking commit a1b1add0 ("gro: Fix kcalloc argument order"). I know that was the regex used, because on seeing the 1st of these changes, I wondered "how many other instances of this are there" and I happened to just use "calloc(sizeof" as a regex and it in turn found these additional reversed args instances in the perf code. In the kcalloc cases, the changes are cosmetic, since the numbers are simply multiplied. I had no desire to go data mining in userspace to see if the same thing held true there, however.

This patch adds per-processor socket count aggregation for system-wide mode measurements. This is a useful mode to detect imbalance between sockets. To enable this mode, use --aggr-socket in addition to -a. (system-wide). The output includes the socket number and the number of online processors on that socket.

I am getting segfaults *after* the time sorting of perf samples where the event type is off the charts: (gdb) bt \#0 0x0807b1b2 in hists__inc_nr_events (hists=0x80a99c4, type=1163281902) at util/hist.c:1225 \#1 0x08070795 in perf_session_deliver_event (session=0x80a9b90, event=0xf7a6aff8, sample=0xffffc318, tool=0xffffc520, file_offset=0) at util/session.c:884 \#2 0x0806f9b9 in flush_sample_queue (s=0x80a9b90, tool=0xffffc520) at util/session.c:555 \#3 0x0806fc53 in process_finished_round (tool=0xffffc520, event=0x0, session=0x80a9b90) at util/session.c:645 This is bizarre because the event has already been processed once -- before it was added to the samples queue -- and the event was found to be sane at that time. There seem to be 2 causes: 1. perf_evlist__mmap_read updates the read location even though there are outstanding references to events sitting in the mmap buffers via the ordered samples queue. 2. There is a single evlist->event_copy for all evlist entries. event_copy is used to handle an event wrapping at the mmap buffer boundary. This patch addresses the second problem - making event_copy local to each perf_mmap. With this change my highly repeatable use case no longer fails. The first problem is much more complicated and will be the subject of a future patch.

Current _sort__sym_cmp() function is used for comparing symbols between two hist entries on symbol, symbol_from and symbol_to sort keys. Those functions pass addresses of symbols but it's meaningless since it gets over-written inside of the _sort__sym_cmp function to a start address of the symbol. So just get rid of them. This might cause a difference than prior output for branch stacks since it seems not using start address of the symbol but branch address. However AFAICS it'd be same as it gets overwritten anyway. Also remove redundant part of code in sort__sym_cmp(). Signed-off-by:
