After the previous change is_swbp_at_addr() is always called with current->mm. Remove this check and move it close to its single caller. Also, remove the obsolete comment about is_swbp_at_addr() and uprobe_state.count. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Unlike set_swbp(), set_orig_insn()->is_swbp_at_addr() makes sense, although it can't prevent all confusions. But the usage of is_swbp_at_addr() is equally confusing, and it adds the extra get_user_pages() we can avoid. This patch removes set_orig_insn()->is_swbp_at_addr() but changes write_opcode() to do the necessary checks before replace_page(). Perhaps it also makes sense to ensure PAGE_MAPPING_ANON in unregister case. find_active_uprobe() becomes the only user of is_swbp_at_addr(), we can change its semantics.

No functional changes, preparations. 1. Extract the kmap-and-memcpy code from read_opcode() into the new trivial helper, copy_opcode(). The next patch will add another user. 2. read_opcode() becomes really trivial, fold it into its single caller, is_swbp_at_addr(). 3. Remove "auprobe" argument from write_opcode(), it is not used since f403072c. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

A separate patch for better documentation. set_swbp()->is_swbp_at_addr() is not needed for correctness, it is harmless to do the unnecessary __replace_page(old_page, new_page) when these 2 pages are identical. And it can not be counted as optimization. mmap/register races are very unlikely, while in the likely case is_swbp_at_addr() adds the extra get_user_pages() even if the caller is uprobe_mmap(current->mm) and returns false. Note also that the semantics/usage of is_swbp_at_addr() in uprobe.c is confusing. set_swbp() uses it to detect the case when this insn was already modified by uprobes, that is why it should always compare the opcode with UPROBE_SWBP_INSN even if the hardware (like powerpc) has other trap insns. It doesn't matter if this breakpoint was in fact installed by gdb or application itself, we are going to "steal" this breakpoint anyway and execute the original insn from vm_file even if it no longer matches the memory. OTOH, handle_swbp()->find_active_uprobe() uses is_swbp_at_addr() to figure out whether we need to send SIGTRAP or not if we can not find uprobe, so in this case it should return true for all trap variants, not only for UPROBE_SWBP_INSN. This patch removes set_swbp()->is_swbp_at_addr(), the next patches will remove it from set_orig_insn() which is similar to set_swbp() in this respect. So the only caller will be handle_swbp() and we can make its semantics clear. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

valid_vma(false) ignores ->vm_flags, this is not actually right. We should never try to write into MAP_SHARED mapping, this can confuse an apllication which actually writes to ->vm_file. With this patch valid_vma(false) ignores VM_WRITE only but checks other (immutable) bits checked by valid_vma(true). This can also speedup uprobe_munmap() and uprobe_unregister(). Note: even after this patch _unregister can confuse the probed application if it does mprotect(PROT_WRITE) after _register and installs "int3", but this is hardly possible to avoid and this doesn't differ from gdb case.

uprobe_register() or uprobe_mmap() requires VM_READ | VM_EXEC, this is not right. An apllication can do mprotect(PROT_EXEC) later and execute this code. Change valid_vma(is_register => true) to check VM_MAYEXEC instead. No need to check VM_MAYREAD, it is always set.

write_opcode()->get_user_pages() needs FOLL_FORCE to ensure we can read the page even if the probed task did mprotect(PROT_NONE) after uprobe_register(). Without FOLL_WRITE, FOLL_FORCE doesn't have any side effect but allows to read the !VM_READ memory. Otherwiese the subsequent uprobe_unregister()->set_orig_insn() fails and we leak "int3". If that task does mprotect(PROT_READ | EXEC) and execute the probed insn later it will be killed. Note: in fact this is also needed for _register, see the next patch.

Kill UTASK_BP_HIT state, it buys nothing but complicates the code. It is only used in uprobe_notify_resume() to decide who should be called, we can check utask->active_uprobe != NULL instead. And this allows us to simplify handle_swbp(), no need to clear utask->state. Likewise we could kill UTASK_SSTEP, but UTASK_BP_HIT is worse and imho should die. The problem is, it creates the special case when task->utask is NULL, we can't distinguish RUNNING and BP_HIT. With this patch utask == NULL always means RUNNING.

If handle_swbp()->add_utask() fails but UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP is set, cleanup_ret: path do not restart the insn, this is wrong. Remove this check and add the additional label for can_skip_sstep() = T case. Note also that UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP can be false positive, we simply can not trust it unless arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() was already called. Also, move another UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP check before can_skip_sstep() into this helper, this looks more clean and understandable. Note: probably we should rename "skip" to "emulate" and I think that "clear UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP" should be moved to arch_can_skip.

handle_swbp() sets utask->active_uprobe before handler_chain(), and UTASK_SSTEP before pre_ssout(). This complicates the code for no reason, arch_ hooks or consumer->handler() should not (and can't) use this info. Change handle_swbp() to initialize them after pre_ssout(), and remove the no longer needed cleanup-utask code.

Initially should look loosely like the venerable 'strace' tool, but using the infrastructure in the perf tools to allow tracing extra targets: [acme@sandy linux]$ perf trace --hell Error: unknown option `hell' usage: perf trace <PID> -p, --pid <pid> trace events on existing process id --tid <tid> trace events on existing thread id --all-cpus system-wide collection from all CPUs --cpu <cpu> list of cpus to monitor --no-inherit child tasks do not inherit counters --mmap-pages <n> number of mmap data pages --uid <user> user to profile [acme@sandy linux]$ Those should have the same semantics as when using with 'perf record'. It gets stuck sometimes, but hey, it works sometimes too! In time it should support perf.data based workloads, i.e. it should have a: -o filename Command line option that will produce a perf.data file that can then be used with 'perf trace' or any of the other perf tools (script, report, etc). It will also eventually have the set of functionalities described in the previous 'trace' prototype by Thomas Gleixner: "Announcing a new utility: 'trace'" http://lwn.net/Articles/415728/ Also planned is to have some of the features suggested in the comments of that LWN article.

Because that is what it really does, i.e. it applies the filters that were parsed from the command line and stashed into the evsels they refer to.

It will set up a syscall open tracepoint event, generate an open with invalid flags, then check those flags were the ones reported in the tracepoint fired. For the filename we need vfs:getname, but that will go thru some more iterations as the vfs getname codebase is going thru changes lately. When that is in I'll just check that the perf_evsel__newtp constructor is not bailing out and then add it to the evlist, catch the event and check the filename against the one used in the 'open' call used to trigger the event.

We were relying on the info in pevent, but since we have it in perf_evsel, set up by the perf_session routine if read from a perf.data file or by whoever creates the evsels, use it. New 'perf test' entries will use it to parse locally generated events, in a non perf.data centered workflow. As well as use byteswap.h to get per arch optimized swap routines, like other parts of perf (header, perf_evsel__parse_sample, symbol, etc) already do.

This patch splits trace event initialization in two stages: * ftrace enable * sysfs event entry creation This allows to capture trace events from an earlier point by using 'trace_event' kernel parameter and is important to trace boot-up allocations. Note that, in order to enable events at core_initcall, it's necessary to move init_ftrace_syscalls() from core_initcall to early_initcall.

In our application, we have trace markers spread through user-space. We have markers in GL, X, etc. These are super handy for Chrome's about:tracing feature (Chrome + system + kernel trace view), but can be very distracting when you're trying to debug a kernel issue. I normally, use "grep -v tracing_mark_write" but it would be nice if I could just temporarily disable markers all together.

Now alloc_arg returns NULL if memory allocation failed, it should be handled on callsites properly.

So that we make sure the routines that do event format parsing are working on at least two well know scheduler tracepoints.

The existing constructor receives a perf_event_attr filled with the event type and the config. To reduce the boilerplate for tracepoints, provide a new constructor, perf_evsel__newtp() that receives the tracepoint name and will open the debugfs file, call into libtraceevent new pevent_parse_format file to fill its ->tp_format member, so that users can then just call perf_evsel__field() to access its fields.

The pevent_parse_event() routine will parse a events/sys/tp/format file and add an event_format instance to the pevent struct. This patch introduces a pevent_parse_format() routine with just the bits needed to parse the event/sys/tp/format file and just return the event_format instance, useful for when all we want is to parse the format file, without requiring the pevent struct.
