tracing: Quiet gcc warning about maybe unused link variable

2018-07-26T02:33:50+00:00

Commit 57ea2a34adf4 ("tracing/kprobes: Fix trace_probe flags on
enable_trace_kprobe() failure") added an if statement that depends on another
if statement that gcc doesn't see will initialize the "link" variable and
gives the warning:

 "warning: 'link' may be used uninitialized in this function"

It is really a false positive, but to quiet the warning, and also to make
sure that it never actually is used uninitialized, initialize the "link"
variable to NULL and add an if (!WARN_ON_ONCE(!link)) where the compiler
thinks it could be used uninitialized.

tracing/kprobes: Fix trace_probe flags on enable_trace_kprobe() failure

2018-07-25T15:41:08+00:00

If enable_trace_kprobe fails to enable the probe in enable_k(ret)probe
it returns an error, but does not unset the tp flags it set previously.
This results in a probe being considered enabled and failures like being
unable to remove the probe through kprobe_events file since probes_open()
expects every probe to be disabled.

tracing/kprobe: Release kprobe print_fmt properly

2018-07-11T19:50:52+00:00

We don't release tk->tp.call.print_fmt when destroying
local uprobe. Also there's missing print_fmt kfree in
create_local_trace_kprobe error path.

bpf: introduce bpf subcommand BPF_TASK_FD_QUERY

2018-05-25T01:18:19+00:00

Currently, suppose a userspace application has loaded a bpf program
and attached it to a tracepoint/kprobe/uprobe, and a bpf
introspection tool, e.g., bpftool, wants to show which bpf program
is attached to which tracepoint/kprobe/uprobe. Such attachment
information will be really useful to understand the overall bpf
deployment in the system.

There is a name field (16 bytes) for each program, which could
be used to encode the attachment point. There are some drawbacks
for this approaches. First, bpftool user (e.g., an admin) may not
really understand the association between the name and the
attachment point. Second, if one program is attached to multiple
places, encoding a proper name which can imply all these
attachments becomes difficult.

This patch introduces a new bpf subcommand BPF_TASK_FD_QUERY.
Given a pid and fd, if the  is associated with a
tracepoint/kprobe/uprobe perf event, BPF_TASK_FD_QUERY will return
   . prog_id
   . tracepoint name, or
   . k[ret]probe funcname + offset or kernel addr, or
   . u[ret]probe filename + offset
to the userspace.
The user can use "bpftool prog" to find more information about
bpf program itself with prog_id.

trace_kprobe: Remove warning message "Could not insert probe at..."

2018-04-17T05:54:57+00:00

This warning message is not very helpful, as the return value should
already show information about the error. Also, this message will
spam dmesg if the user space does testing in a loop, like:

    for x in {0..5}
    do
        echo p:xx xx+$x >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
    done

tracing: probeevent: Fix to support minus offset from symbol

2018-03-23T16:02:37+00:00

In Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt, it says

 @SYM[+|-offs] : Fetch memory at SYM +|- offs (SYM should be a data symbol)

However, the parser doesn't parse minus offset correctly, since
commit 2fba0c8867af ("tracing/kprobes: Fix probe offset to be
unsigned") drops minus ("-") offset support for kprobe probe
address usage.

This fixes the traceprobe_split_symbol_offset() to parse minus
offset again with checking the offset range, and add a minus
offset check in kprobe probe address usage.

perf/core: Implement the 'perf_kprobe' PMU

2018-02-06T10:29:26+00:00

A new PMU type, perf_kprobe is added. Based on attr from perf_event_open(),
perf_kprobe creates a kprobe (or kretprobe) for the perf_event. This
kprobe is private to this perf_event, and thus not added to global
lists, and not available in tracefs.

Two functions, create_local_trace_kprobe() and
destroy_local_trace_kprobe()  are added to created and destroy these
local trace_kprobe.

error-injection: Separate error-injection from kprobe

2018-01-13T01:33:38+00:00

Since error-injection framework is not limited to be used
by kprobes, nor bpf. Other kernel subsystems can use it
freely for checking safeness of error-injection, e.g.
livepatch, ftrace etc.
So this separate error-injection framework from kprobes.

Some differences has been made:

- "kprobe" word is removed from any APIs/structures.
- BPF_ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() is renamed to
  ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() since it is not limited for BPF too.
- CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is the config item of this
  feature. It is automatically enabled if the arch supports
  error injection feature for kprobe or ftrace etc.
