2017-08-24powerpc/uprobes: Implement arch_uretprobe_is_alive()Naveen N. Rao
This helper is used to detect if a uprobe'd function has returned through a setjmp/longjmp, rather than branching to the LR that was updated previously by us. This fixes a SIGSEGV that gets generated when programs use setjmp/longjmp with uretprobes. We use the arm64 model (arch/arm64/kernel/probes/uprobes.c: arch_uretprobe_is_alive()) for detecting when stack frames have been removed from under us. Reference: https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=143748610330073 commit 7b868e4802a86 ("uprobes/x86: Reimplement arch_uretprobe_is_alive()") commit db087ef69a2b1 ("uprobes/x86: Make arch_uretprobe_is_alive(RP_CHECK_CALL) more clever") Tested with the test program from: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=systemtap.git;a=blob;f=testsuite/systemtap.base/bz5274.c;hb=HEAD And this script: $ cat test.sh #!/bin/bash perf probe -x ./bz5274 -a bz5274_main_return=main%return perf probe -x ./bz5274 -a bz5274_funca_return=funca%return perf probe -x ./bz5274 -a bz5274_funcb_return=funcb%return perf probe -x ./bz5274 -a bz5274_funcc_return=funcc%return perf probe -x ./bz5274 -a bz5274_funcd_return=funcd%return perf record -e 'probe_bz5274:*' -aR ./bz5274 Reported-by: Gustavo Luiz Duarte <gduarte@redhat.com> Reported-by: zsun@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Naveen N.

2013-11-20uprobes/powerpc: Kill arch_uprobe->ainsnOleg Nesterov
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".

2013-04-04uprobes/powerpc: Remove additional trap instruction checkAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli
prepare_uprobe() already checks if the underlying unstruction (on file) is a trap variant. We don't need to check this again. Signed-off-by: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Acked-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
2013-04-04uprobes/powerpc: Teach uprobes to ignore gdb breakpointsAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli
Powerpc has many trap variants that could be used by entities like gdb. Currently, running gdb on a program being traced by uprobes causes an endless loop since uprobes doesn't understand that the trap was inserted by some other entity and a SIGTRAP needs to be delivered. Teach uprobes to ignore breakpoints that do not belong to it.

2012-11-03uprobes/powerpc: Do not use arch_uprobe_*_step() helpersOleg Nesterov
No functional changes. powerpc is the only user of arch_uprobe_enable/disable_step() helpers, but they should die. They can not be used correctly, every arch needs its own implementation (like x86 does). And they do not really help even as initial-and-almost-working code, arch_uprobe_*_xol() hooks can easily use user_enable/disable_single_step() directly. Change arch_uprobe_*_step() to do nothing, and convert powerpc to use ptrace helpers. This is equally wrong, powerpc needs the arch-specific fixes.

This is the port of uprobes to powerpc. Usage is similar to x86. [root@xxxx ~]# ./bin/perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc Added new event: probe_libc:malloc (on 0xb4860) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1 [root@xxxx ~]# ./bin/perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 20 [ perf record: Woken up 22 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 5.843 MB perf.data (~255302 samples) ] [root@xxxx ~]# ./bin/perf report --stdio ... 69.05% tar libc-2.12.so [.] malloc 28.57% rm libc-2.12.so [.] malloc 1.32% avahi-daemon libc-2.12.so [.] malloc 0.58% bash libc-2.12.so [.] malloc 0.28% sshd libc-2.12.so [.] malloc 0.08% irqbalance libc-2.12.so [.] malloc 0.05% bzip2 libc-2.12.so [.] malloc 0.04% sleep libc-2.12.so [.] malloc 0.03% multipathd libc-2.12.so [.] malloc 0.01% sendmail libc-2.12.so [.] malloc 0.01% automount libc-2.12.so [.] malloc The trap_nr addition patch is a prereq.
