There's no need for the *_MASK flags (TF_MASK, IF_MASK, etc), found in processor.h (both _32 and _64). They have a one-to-one mapping with the EFLAGS value.

This patch unifies kprobes code. - Unify kprobes_*.h to kprobes.h - Unify kprobes_*.c to kprobes.c (Differences are separated by ifdefs) - Most differences are related to REX prefix and rip relatives. - Two inline assembly code are different. - One difference in kprobe_handlre() - One fixup exception code is different, but it will be unified if mm/extable_*.c are unified. - Merge history logs into arch/x86/kernel/kprobes.c.

This patch cleanup kprobes code on x86 for unification. This patch is based on Arjan's previous work. - Remove spurious whitespace changes - Add harmless includes - Make the 32/64 files more identical - Generalize structure fields' and local variable name. - Wrap accessing to stack address by macros. - Modify bitmap making macro. - Merge fixup code into is_riprel() and change its name to fix_riprel(). - Set MAX_INSN_SIZE to 16 on both arch. - Use u32 for bitmaps on both architectures. - Clarify some comments.

We have a lot of code which differs only by the naming of specific members of structures that contain registers. In order to enable additional unifications, this patch drops the e- or r- size prefix from the register names in struct pt_regs, and drops the x- prefixes for segment registers on the 32-bit side. This patch also performs the equivalent renames in some additional places that might be candidates for unification in the future. Signed-off-by:

This adjusts the x86 kprobes implementation to cope with per-thread MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR being set for user mode. I haven't delved deep enough into the kprobes code to be really sure this covers all the cases where the user-mode BTF setting needs to be cleared or restored. It looks about right to me.

Introduce architecture dependent kretprobe blacklists to prohibit users from inserting return probes on the function in which kprobes can be inserted but kretprobes can not. This patch also removes "__kprobes" mark from "__switch_to" on x86_64 and registers "__switch_to" to the blacklist on x86-64, because that mark is to prohibit user from inserting only kretprobe.

x86(-64) are the last architectures still using the page fault notifier cruft for the kprobes page fault hook. This patch converts them to the proper direct calls, and removes the now unused pagefault notifier bits aswell as the cruft in kprobes.c that was related to this mess. I know Andi didn't really like this, but all other architecture maintainers agreed the direct calls are much better and besides the obvious cruft removal a common way of dealing with kprobes across architectures is important aswell.

Reenable kprobes and alternative patching when the kernel text is write protected by DEBUG_RODATA Add a general utility function to change write protected text. The new function remaps the code using vmap to write it and takes care of CPU synchronization. It also does CLFLUSH to make icache recovery faster. There are some limitations on when the function can be used, see the comment. This is a newer version that also changes the paravirt_ops code. text_poke also supports multi byte patching now.

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.

This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place) arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

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.

Problem: If we put a probe onto a callq instruction and the probe is executed, kernel panic of Bad RIP value occurs. Root cause: If resume_execution() found 0xff at first byte of p->ainsn.insn, it must check the _second_ byte. But current resume_execution check _first_ byte again. I changed it checks second byte of p->ainsn.insn. Kprobes on i386 don't have this problem, because the implementation is a little bit different from x86_64. Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Signed-off-by:

Andrew Morton pointed out that compiler might not inline the functions marked for inline in kprobes. There-by allowing the insertion of probes on these kprobes routines, which might cause recursion. This patch removes all such inline and adds them to kprobes section there by disallowing probes on all such routines. Some of the routines can even still be inlined, since these routines gets executed after the kprobes had done necessay setup for reentrancy. Signed-off-by:

Provide proper kprobes fault handling, if a user-specified pre/post handlers tries to access user address space, through copy_from_user(), get_user() etc. The user-specified fault handler gets called only if the fault occurs while executing user-specified handlers. In such a case user-specified handler is allowed to fix it first, later if the user-specifed fault handler does not fix it, we try to fix it by calling fix_exception(). The user-specified handler will not be called if the fault happens when single stepping the original instruction, instead we reset the current probe and allow the system page fault handler to fix it up.

There is a window where a probe gets removed right after the probe is hit on some different cpu. In this case probe handlers can't find a matching probe instance related to break address. In this case we need to read the original instruction at break address to see if that is not a break/int3 instruction and recover safely. Previous code had a bug where we were not checking for the above race in case of reentrant probes and the below patch fixes this race. Tested on IA64, Powerpc, x86_64. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:
