tracing/probe: trace_probe_primary_from_call(): checked list_first_entry

2023-06-09T08:29:02Z

commit 81d0fa4cb4fc0e1a49c2b22f92c43d9fe972ebcf upstream. All callers of trace_probe_primary_from_call() check the return value to be non NULL. However, the function returns list_first_entry(&tpe->probes, ...) which can never be NULL. Additionally, it does not check for the list being possibly empty, possibly causing a type confusion on empty lists. Use list_first_entry_or_null() which solves both problems.

tracing/probes: Reject events which have the same name of existing one

2021-09-22T10:26:43Z

[ Upstream commit 8e242060c6a4947e8ae7d29794af6a581db08841 ] Since kprobe_events and uprobe_events only check whether the other same-type probe event has the same name or not, if the user gives the same name of the existing tracepoint event (or the other type of probe events), it silently fails to create the tracefs entry (but registered.) as below. /sys/kernel/tracing # ls events/task/task_rename enable filter format hist id trigger /sys/kernel/tracing # echo p:task/task_rename vfs_read >> kprobe_events [ 113.048508] Could not create tracefs 'task_rename' directory /sys/kernel/tracing # cat kprobe_events p:task/task_rename vfs_read To fix this issue, check whether the existing events have the same name or not in trace_probe_register_event_call(). If exists, it rejects to register the new event.

tracing/uprobe: Fix to make trace_uprobe_filter alignment safe

2020-02-05T21:22:53Z

[ Upstream commit b61387cb732cf283d318b2165c44913525fe545f ] Commit 99c9a923e97a ("tracing/uprobe: Fix double perf_event linking on multiprobe uprobe") moved trace_uprobe_filter on trace_probe_event. However, since it introduced a flexible data structure with char array and type casting, the alignment of trace_uprobe_filter can be broken. This changes the type of the array to trace_uprobe_filter data strucure to fix it.

tracing/uprobe: Fix double perf_event linking on multiprobe uprobe

2020-01-29T15:45:25Z

commit 99c9a923e97a583a38050baa92c9377d73946330 upstream. Fix double perf_event linking to trace_uprobe_filter on multiple uprobe event by moving trace_uprobe_filter under trace_probe_event. In uprobe perf event, trace_uprobe_filter data structure is managing target mm filters (in perf_event) related to each uprobe event. Since commit 60d53e2c3b75 ("tracing/probe: Split trace_event related data from trace_probe") left the trace_uprobe_filter data structure in trace_uprobe, if a trace_probe_event has multiple trace_uprobe (multi-probe event), a perf_event is added to different trace_uprobe_filter on each trace_uprobe. This leads a linked list corruption. To fix this issue, move trace_uprobe_filter to trace_probe_event and link it once on each event instead of each probe.

tracing/probe: Reject exactly same probe event

2019-09-19T15:09:16Z

Reject exactly same probe events as existing probes. Multiprobe allows user to define multiple probes on same event. If user appends a probe which exactly same definition (same probe address and same arguments) on existing event, the event will record same probe information twice. That can be confusing users, so reject it. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/156879694602.31056.5533024778165036763.stgit@devnote2 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing/probe: Add immediate string parameter support

2019-08-31T16:19:39Z

Add immediate string parameter (\"string") support to probe events. This allows you to specify an immediate (or dummy) parameter instead of fetching a string from memory. This feature looks odd, but imagine that you put a probe on a code to trace some string data. If the code is compiled into 2 instructions and 1 instruction has a string on memory but other has no string since it is optimized out. In that case, you can not fold those into one event, even if ftrace supported multiple probes on one event. With this feature, you can set a dummy string like foo=\"(optimized)":string instead of something like foo=+0(+0(%bp)):string.

tracing/probe: Add immediate parameter support

2019-08-31T16:19:39Z

Add immediate value parameter (\1234) support to probe events. This allows you to specify an immediate (or dummy) parameter instead of fetching from memory or register. This feature looks odd, but imagine when you put a probe on a code to trace some data. If the code is compiled into 2 instructions and 1 instruction has a value but other has nothing since it is optimized out. In that case, you can not fold those into one event, even if ftrace supported multiple probes on one event. With this feature, you can set a dummy value like foo=\deadbeef instead of something like foo=%di.

tracing/kprobe: Add per-probe delete from event

2019-08-31T16:19:38Z

Allow user to delete a probe from event. This is done by head match. For example, if we have 2 probes on an event $ cat kprobe_events p:kprobes/testprobe _do_fork r1=%ax r2=%dx p:kprobes/testprobe idle_fork r1=%ax r2=%cx Then you can remove one of them by passing the head of definition which identify the probe. $ echo "-:kprobes/testprobe idle_fork" >> kprobe_events Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/156095688848.28024.15798690082378432435.stgit@devnote2 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing/kprobe: Add multi-probe per event support

2019-08-31T16:19:38Z

Add multi-probe per one event support to kprobe events. User can define several different probes on one trace event if those events have same "event signature", e.g. # echo p:testevent _do_fork > kprobe_events # echo p:testevent fork_idle >> kprobe_events # kprobe_events p:kprobes/testevent _do_fork p:kprobes/testevent fork_idle The event signature is defined by kprobe type (retprobe or not), the number of args, argument names, and argument types. Note that this only support appending method. Delete event operation will delete all probes on the event.
