* kprobes: Jump optimization sysctl interfaceMasami Hiramatsu2010-02-251-3/+85
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add /proc/sys/debug/kprobes-optimization sysctl which enables and disables kprobes jump optimization on the fly for debugging. Changes in v7: - Remove ctl_name = CTL_UNNUMBERED for upstream compatibility. Changes in v6: - Update comments and coding style.

* kprobes: Introduce kprobes jump optimizationMasami Hiramatsu2010-02-251-51/+410
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce kprobes jump optimization arch-independent parts. Kprobes uses breakpoint instruction for interrupting execution flow, on some architectures, it can be replaced by a jump instruction and interruption emulation code. This gains kprobs' performance drastically. To enable this feature, set CONFIG_OPTPROBES=y (default y if the arch supports OPTPROBE). Changes in v9: - Fix a bug to optimize probe when enabling. - Check nearby probes can be optimize/unoptimize when disarming/arming kprobes, instead of registering/unregistering. This will help kprobe-tracer because most of probes on it are usually disabled. Changes in v6: - Cleanup coding style for readability. - Add comments around get/put_online_cpus(). Changes in v5: - Use get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus() for avoiding text_mutex deadlock.

* kprobes: Add mcount to the kprobes blacklistMasami Hiramatsu2010-02-051-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since mcount function can be called from everywhere, it should be blacklisted. Moreover, the "mcount" symbol is a special symbol name.

This patch helps pinpointing the kprobe that raised such recursion by dumping it and raising a BUG instead of a warning (we also disarm the kprobe to try avoiding recursion in BUG itself). Having a BUG instead of a warning stops the stacktrace in the right place and doesn't pollute the logs with hundreds of traces that eventually end up in a stack overflow.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allows kprobes to probe __exit routine. This adds flags member to struct kprobe. When module is freed(kprobes hooks module_notifier to get this event), kprobes which probe the functions in that module are set to "Gone" flag to the flags member. These "Gone" probes are never be enabled. Users can check the GONE flag through debugfs. This also removes mod_refcounted, because we couldn't free a module if kprobe incremented the refcount of that module.

* kprobes: bugfix: try_module_get even if calling_mod is NULLMasami Hiramatsu2009-01-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When someone called register_*probe() from kernel-core code(not from module) and that probes a kernel module, users can remove the probed module because kprobe doesn't increment reference counter of the module. (on the other hand, if the kernel-module calls register_*probe, kprobe increments refcount of the probed module.) Currently, we have no register_*probe() calling from kernel-core(except smoke-test, but the smoke-test doesn't probe module), so there is no real bugs. But the logic is wrong(or not fair) and it can causes a problem when someone might want to probe module from kernel. After this patch is applied, even if someone put register_*probe() call in the kernel-core code, it increments the reference counter of the probed module, and it prevents user to remove the module until stopping probing it.

* kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed lockingSrinivasa D S2008-07-251-38/+89
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table. We have one global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists. This causes only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time. Hence affects system performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on lot of functions (like on all systemcalls). Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP system compared to present kretprobe implementation. Solution: 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table. We will have two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another lock for kretporbe object. 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list. To prevent deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe lock. 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash table.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prohibit users from probing preempt_schedule(). One way of prohibiting the user from probing functions is by marking such functions with __kprobes. But this method doesn't work for those functions, which are already marked to different section like preempt_schedule() (belongs to __sched section). So we use blacklist approach to refuse user from probing these functions. In blacklist approach we populate the blacklisted function's starting address and its size in kprobe_blacklist structure. Then we verify the user specified address against start and end of the blacklisted function. So any attempt to register probe on blacklisted functions will be rejected.
