samples/kretprobe: fix the wrong type

2016-08-04T12:50:07Z

The regs_return_value() returns "unsigned long" or "long" value. But the retval is int type now, it may cause overflow, the log may becomes: [ 2911.078869] do_brk returned -2003877888 and took 4620 ns to execute This patch converts the retval to "unsigned long" type, and fixes the overflow issue.

samples/kretprobe: convert the printk to pr_info/pr_err

2016-08-04T12:50:07Z

We prefer to use the pr_* to print out the log now, this patch converts the printk to pr_info. In the error path, use the pr_err to replace the printk.

Print out the symbol name for the hooks, it makes the logs more readable. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1463535417-29637-2-git-send-email-shijie.huang@arm.com Signed-off-by: Huang Shijie Cc: Petr Mladek Cc: Steve Capper Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

samples/kprobes: add a new module parameter

2016-05-21T00:58:30Z

Add a new module parameter which can be used as the symbol name. Without this patch, we can only test the "_do_fork" function with this kernel module. With this patch, the module becomes more flexible; we can test any functions with this module with # insmod kprobe_example.ko symbol="xxx" Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1463535417-29637-1-git-send-email-shijie.huang@arm.com Signed-off-by: Huang Shijie Cc: Petr Mladek Cc: Steve Capper Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kprobes: add the "tls" argument for j_do_fork

2016-05-21T00:58:30Z

Commit 3033f14ab78c ("clone: support passing tls argument via C rather than pt_regs magic") added the tls argument for _do_fork(). This patch adds the "tls" argument for j_do_fork to make it match _do_fork().

kprobes: use _do_fork() in samples to make them work again

2015-10-02T01:42:35Z

Commit 3033f14ab78c ("clone: support passing tls argument via C rather than pt_regs magic") introduced _do_fork() that allowed to pass @tls parameter. The old do_fork() is defined only for architectures that are not ready to use this way and do not define HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. Let's use _do_fork() in the kprobe examples to make them work again on all architectures.

kprobes: update jprobe_example.c for do_fork() change

2014-09-26T09:11:12Z

In commit e80d666 "flagday: kill pt_regs argument of do_fork()", the arguments to do_fork() changed. The example code in jprobe_example.c was not updated to match, so the arguments inside the jprobe handler do not match reality. Fix it by updating the arguments to match do_fork(). While we're at it use pr_info() for brevity, and print stack_start as well for interest. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina
