    uprobes: Introduce MMF_HAS_UPROBES · f8ac4ec9
    Oleg Nesterov authored
    Add the new MMF_HAS_UPROBES flag. It is set by install_breakpoint()
    and it is copied by dup_mmap(), uprobe_pre_sstep_notifier() checks
    it to avoid the slow path if the task was never probed. Perhaps it
    makes sense to check it in valid_vma(is_register => false) as well.
    
    This needs the new dup_mmap()->uprobe_dup_mmap() hook. We can't use
    uprobe_reset_state() or put MMF_HAS_UPROBES into MMF_INIT_MASK, we
    need oldmm->mmap_sem to avoid the race with uprobe_register() or
    mmap() from another thread.
    
    Currently we never clear this bit, it can be false-positive after
    uprobe_unregister() or uprobe_munmap() or if dup_mmap() hits the
    probed VM_DONTCOPY vma. But this is fine correctness-wise and has
    no effect unless the task hits the non-uprobe breakpoint.
