We assume to have only one reference counter for one uprobe.
Don't allow user to add multiple trace_uprobe entries having
same inode+offset but different reference counter.
Ex,
# echo "p:sdt_tick/loop2 /home/ravi/tick:0x6e4(0x10036)" > uprobe_events
# echo "p:sdt_tick/loop2_1 /home/ravi/tick:0x6e4(0xfffff)" >> uprobe_events
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# dmesg
trace_kprobe: Reference counter offset mismatch.
There are two exceptions though:
1) When user is trying to replace the old entry with the new
one, we allow this if the new entry does not conflict with
any other existing entry.
2) Any one of the reference counter offset is 0 while comparing
new entry with old one.
