Hello, This patchset implements memory (address), stack[N], deference, bitfield and retval (it needs uretprobe tho) fetch methods for uprobes. It's based on the previous work [1] done by Hyeoncheol Lee.
Now kprobes and uprobes have their own fetch_type_tables and, in turn, memory and stack access methods. Other fetch methods are shared. For the dereference method, I added a new argument to fetch functions. It's because for uprobes it needs to know whether the given address is a file offset or a virtual address in an user process. For instance, in case of fetching from a memory directly (like @offset) it should convert the address (offset) to a virtual address of the process, but if it's a dereferencing, the given address already has the virtual address. To determine this in a fetch function, I passed a pointer to trace_uprobe for direct fetch, and passed NULL for dereference. Please look at patch 10 that uses per-cpu buffer for accessing user memory as suggested by Steven. While I tried hard not to mess things up there might be a chance I did something horrible. It'd be great if you guys take a look and give comments. * v4 changes: - add Ack's from Masami - rearrange patches to make it easy for simple fixes to be applied - update documentation - use per-cpu buffer for storing args (thanks to Steve!)
