kprobes: consistent rcu api usage for kretprobe holder
commit d839a656d0f3caca9f96e9bf912fd394ac6a11bc upstream.
It seems that the pointer-to-kretprobe "rp" within the kretprobe_holder is
RCU-managed, based on the (non-rethook) implementation of get_kretprobe().
The thought behind this patch is to make use of the RCU API where possible
when accessing this pointer so that the needed barriers are always in place
and to self-document the code.
The __rcu annotation to "rp" allows for sparse RCU checking. Plain writes
done to the "rp" pointer are changed to make use of the RCU macro for
assignment. For the single read, the implementation of get_kretprobe()
is simplified by making use of an RCU macro which accomplishes the same,
but note that the log warning text will be more generic.
I did find that there is a difference in assembly generated between the
usage of the RCU macros vs without. For example, on arm64, when using
rcu_assign_pointer(), the corresponding store instruction is a
store-release (STLR) which has an implicit barrier. When normal assignment
is done, a regular store (STR) is found. In the macro case, this seems to
be a result of rcu_assign_pointer() using smp_store_release() when the
value to write is not NULL.
