      perf probe: Support "string" type · 73317b95
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      Support string type casting to event argument. If perf-probe finds an argument
casted as string, it ensures the target variable is "(unsigned/signed) char
*(or []). perf-probe also adds dereference if the target is a pointer.

So, both of 'char buf[10];' and 'char *buf;' can be accessed by 'buf:string'

      tracing/kprobes: Support "string" type · e09c8614
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      Support string type tracing and printing in kprobe-tracer.

This allows user to trace string data in kernel including __user data. Note
that sometimes __user data may not be accessed if it is paged-out (sorry, but
kprobes operation should be done in atomic, we can not wait for page-in).

Commiter note: Fixed up conflicts with b7e2ecef.

      perf: Fix hist_entry__tui_annotate() build failure · 0879b100
      Srikar Dronamraju authored 
      When compiling perf on latest tip/master I see the following
error:

  cc1: warnings being treated as errors
  util/newt.c: In function 'hist_entry__tui_annotate':
  util/newt.c:764: warning: 'ret' is used uninitialized in
  this function make: *** [util/newt.o] Error 1

I think the problem was introduced by commit
13f499f0

Below is a patch that fixes the problem.

      kprobes/x86: Fix kprobes to skip prefixes correctly · 567a9fd8
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      Fix resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip x86
instruction prefixes correctly by using x86 instruction
attribute.

Without this fix, resume_execution() can't handle instructions
which have non-REX prefixes (REX prefixes are skipped). This
will cause unexpected kernel panic by hitting bad address when a
kprobe hits on two-byte ret (e.g. "repz ret" generated for
Athlon/K8 optimization), because it just checks "repz" and can't
recognize the "ret" instruction.

These prefixes can be found easily with x86 instruction
attribute. This patch introduces skip_prefixes() and uses it in
resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip prefixes.

      tracing: Use class->reg() for all registering of events · a1d0ce82
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      Because kprobes and syscalls need special processing to register
events, the class->reg() method was created to handle the differences.

But instead of creating a default ->reg for perf and ftrace events,
the code was scattered with:

	if (class->reg)
		class->reg();
	else
		default_reg();

This is messy and can also lead to bugs.

This patch cleans up this code and creates a default reg() entry for
the events allowing for the code to directly call the class->reg()
without the condition.

      tracing/function-graph: Use correct string size for snprintf · d62f85d1
      Chase Douglas authored 
      The nsecs_str string is a local variable defined as:

char nsecs_str[5];

It is possible for the snprintf call to use a size value larger than the
size of the string. This should not cause a buffer overrun as it is
written now due to the value for the string format "%03lu" can not be
larger than 1000. However, this change makes it correct. By making the
size correct we guard against potential future changes that could actually
cause a buffer overrun.
