1. Don't include asm/uprobes.h unconditionally, we only need it if CONFIG_UPROBES. 2. Move the definition of "struct xol_area" into uprobes.c. Perhaps we should simply kill struct uprobes_state, it buys nothing. 3. Kill the dummy definition of uprobe_get_swbp_addr(), nobody except handle_swbp() needs it. 4. Purely cosmetic, but move the decl of uprobe_get_swbp_addr() up, close to other __weak helpers. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

powerpc has both arch_uprobe->insn and arch_uprobe->ainsn to make the generic code happy. This is no longer needed after the previous change, powerpc can just use "u32 insn".

arch_uprobe should be opaque as much as possible to the generic code, but currently it assumes that insn/ixol must be u8[] of the known size. Remove this unnecessary dependency, we can use "&" and and sizeof() with the same effect. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Oleg Nesterov authored
uprobe_task->vaddr is a bit strange. The generic code uses it only to pass the additional argument to arch_uprobe_pre_xol(), and since it is always equal to instruction_pointer() this looks even more strange. And both utask->vaddr and and utask->autask have the same scope, they only have the meaning when the task executes the probed insn out-of-line, so it is safe to reuse both in UTASK_RUNNING state. This all means that logically ->vaddr belongs to arch_uprobe_task and we should probably move it there, arch_uprobe_pre_xol() can record instruction_pointer() itself. OTOH, it is also used by uprobe_copy_process() and dup_xol_work() for another purpose, this doesn't look clean and doesn't allow to move this member into arch_uprobe_task. This patch adds the union with 2 anonymous structs into uprobe_task. The first struct is autask + vaddr, this way we "almost" move vaddr into autask. The second struct has 2 new members for uprobe_copy_process() paths: ->dup_xol_addr which can be used instead ->vaddr, and ->dup_xol_work which can be used to avoid kmalloc() and simplify the code. Note that this union will likely have another member(s), we need something like "private_data_for_handlers" so that the tracing handlers could use it to communicate with call_fetch() methods.

1. copy_insn() doesn't look very nice, all calculations are confusing and it is not immediately clear why do we read the 2nd page first. 2. The usage of inode->i_size is wrong on 32-bit machines. 3. "Instruction at end of binary" logic is simply wrong, it doesn't handle the case when uprobe->offset > inode->i_size. In this case "bytes" overflows, and __copy_insn() writes to the memory outside of uprobe->arch.insn. Yes, uprobe_register() checks i_size_read(), but this file can be truncated after that. All i_size checks are racy, we do this only to catch the obvious mistakes. Change copy_insn() to call __copy_insn() in a loop, simplify and fix the bytes/nbytes calculations. Note: we do not care if we read extra bytes after inode->i_size if we got the valid page. This is fine because the task gets the same page after page-fault, and arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() can't know how many bytes were actually read anyway. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

Commit aa59c53f "uprobes: Change uprobe_copy_process() to dup xol_area" has a stupid typo, we need to setup t->utask->vaddr but the code wrongly uses current->utask. Even with this bug dup_xol_work() works "in practice", but only because get_unmapped_area(NULL, TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE) likely returns the same address every time.

There is no point in sort.h including itself. The include was added when the file was created, in commit "perf tools: Create util/sort.and use it" (dd68ada2) and added a include to "sort.h" in lot of files (all the files that started using the file).

Instead do the lookups just when creating the tracepoints, initially for the most common, raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}. It works by having evsel->priv have a per tracepoint structure with entries for the fields, for direct access, with the offset and a function to get the value from the sample, doing the swap if needed.

set_swbp() and set_orig_insn() are __weak, but this is pointless because write_opcode() is static. Export write_opcode() as uprobe_write_opcode() for the upcoming arm port, this way it can actually override set_swbp() and use __opcode_to_mem_arm(bpinsn) instead if UPROBE_SWBP_INSN.

Currently xol_get_insn_slot() assumes that we should simply copy arch_uprobe->insn[] which is (ignoring arch_uprobe_analyze_insn) just the copy of the original insn. This is not true for arm which needs to create another insn to execute it out-of-line. So this patch simply adds the new member, ->ixol into the union. This doesn't make any difference for x86 and powerpc, but arm can divorce insn/ixol and initialize the correct xol insn in arch_uprobe_analyze_insn(). Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

The arch_perf_output_copy_user() default of __copy_from_user_inatomic() returns bytes not copied, while all other argument functions given DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() return bytes copied. Since copy_from_user_nmi() is the odd duck out by returning bytes copied where all other *copy_{to,from}* functions return bytes not copied, change it over and ammend DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() to expect bytes not copied. Oddly enough DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() already returned bytes not copied while expecting its worker functions to return bytes copied.

Add unlikely() annotations to 'slow' paths: When having a sampling event but no output buffer; you have bigger issues -- also the bail is still faster than actually doing the work. When having a sampling event but a control page only buffer, you have bigger issues -- again the bail is still faster than actually doing work. Optimize for the case where you're not loosing events -- again, not doing the work is still faster but make sure that when you have to actually do work its as fast as possible.
