Hi steven, Masami,
We have encountered a problem, when we attempted to use steven's suggestion as
following,
If you call this here, you must make sure kprobe_addr() is called on rp->kp.
But if kretprobe_blacklist_size == 0, kprobe_addr() is not called before
this check. So it should be in between kprobe_on_func_entry() and
kretprobe_blacklist_size check, like this
if (!kprobe_on_func_entry(rp->kp.addr, rp->kp.symbol_name,
rp->kp.offset))
return -EINVAL;
addr = kprobe_addr(&rp->kp);
if (IS_ERR(addr))
return PTR_ERR(addr);
rp->kp.addr = addr;
//there exists no-atomic operation risk, we should not modify any rp->kp's
information, not all arch ensure atomic operation here.
ret = check_kprobe_rereg(&rp->kp);
if (WARN_ON(ret))
return ret;
if (kretprobe_blacklist_size) {
for (i = 0; > > + ret = check_kprobe_rereg(&rp->kp);
it returns failure from register_kprobe() end called by register_kretprobe()
when
we registered a kretprobe through .symbol_name at first time(through .addr is
OK),
kprobe_addr() called at the begaining of register_kprobe() will recheck and
failed at following place because at this time we symbol_name is not NULL and
addr is also.
static kprobe_opcode_t *_kprobe_addr(const char *symbol_name,
unsigned int offset)
{
if ((symbol_name && addr) || (!symbol_name && !addr)) //we failed here
So we attempted to move this sentence rp->kp.addr = addr to
__get_valid_kprobe() like this to
avoid explict usage of rp->kp.addr = addr in register_kretprobe().

But it also failed when we second time attempted to register a same kretprobe,
it is also
becasue symbol_name and addr is not NULL when we used __get_valid_kprobe().
So it seems has no idea expect for modifying _kprobe_addr() like following
this, the reason is that
the patch 0bd476e6c671 ("kallsyms: unexport kallsyms_lookup_name() and
kallsyms_on_each_symbol()")
has telled us we'd better use symbol name to register but not address anymore.
-static kprobe_opcode_t *_kprobe_addr(kprobe_opcode_t *addr,
- const char *symbol_name, unsigned int offset)
+static kprobe_opcode_t *_kprobe_addr(const char *symbol_name,
+ unsigned int offset)
{
- if ((symbol_name && addr) || (!symbol_name && !addr))
+ kprobe_opcode_t *addr;
+ if (!symbol_name)
goto invalid;
For us, this modification has not caused a big impact on other modules, only
expects a little
influence on bpf from calling trace_kprobe_on_func_entry(), it can not use addr
to fill in
rp.kp in struct trace_event_call anymore.
So i want to know your views, and i will resend this patch soon.
thanks,
Wang Shaobo
