c2ef6661ce kprobes: Fix distinct type warning
Every time I see this:

 kernel/kprobes.c: In function 'register_kretprobe':
 kernel/kprobes.c:1038: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast

I'm wondering if something changed in common code and we need to
do something for s390. Apparently that's not the case.
Let's get rid of this annoying warning.

4dae560f97 kprobes: Sanitize struct kretprobe_instance allocations
For as long as kretprobes have existed, we've allocated NR_CPUS
instances of kretprobe_instance structures. With the default
value of CONFIG_NR_CPUS increasing on certain architectures, we
are potentially wasting kernel memory.

See http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10839#c3 for
more details.

Use a saner num_possible_cpus() instead of NR_CPUS for
allocation.

1f0ab40976 kprobes: Prevent re-registration of the same kprobe
Prevent re-registration of the same kprobe. This situation, though
unlikely, needs to be flagged since it can lead to a system crash if
it's not handled.

The core change itself is small, but the helper routine needed to be
moved around a bit; hence the diffstat.

a00e817f42 kprobes/x86-32: Move irq-exit functions to kprobes section
Move irq-exit functions to .kprobes.text section to protect against
kprobes recursion.

When I ran kprobe stress test on x86-32, I found below symbols
cause unrecoverable recursive probing:

	ret_from_exception
	ret_from_intr
	check_userspace
	restore_all
	restore_all_notrace
	restore_nocheck
	irq_return

And also, I found some interrupt/exception entry points that
cause similar problems.

This patch moves those symbols (including their container functions)
to .kprobes.text section to prevent any kprobes probing.

65e234ec2c kprobes: Prohibit to probe native_get_debugreg
Since do_debug() calls get_debugreg(), native_get_debugreg() will be
called from singlestepping. This can cause an int3 infinite loop.

We can't put it in the .text.kprobes section because it is inlined,
then we blacklist its name.

24851d2447 tracing/kprobes: Dump the culprit kprobe in case of kprobe recursion
Kprobes can enter into a probing recursion, ie: a kprobe that does an
endless loop because one of its core mechanism function used during
probing is also probed itself.

This patch helps pinpointing the kprobe that raised such recursion
by dumping it and raising a BUG instead of a warning (we also disarm
the kprobe to try avoiding recursion in BUG itself). Having a BUG
instead of a warning stops the stacktrace in the right place and
doesn't pollute the logs with hundreds of traces that eventually end
up in a stack overflow.

de5bd88d5a kprobes: support per-kprobe disabling
Add disable_kprobe() and enable_kprobe() to disable/enable kprobes
temporarily.

disable_kprobe() asynchronously disables probe handlers of specified
kprobe.  So, after calling it, some handlers can be called at a while.
enable_kprobe() enables specified kprobe.

aggr_pre_handler and aggr_post_handler check disabled probes.  On the
other hand aggr_break_handler and aggr_fault_handler don't check it
because these handlers will be called while executing pre or post handlers
and usually those help error handling.

b918e5e60d kprobes: cleanup aggr_kprobe related code
Currently, kprobes can disable all probes at once, but can't disable it
individually (not unregister, just disable an kprobe, because
unregistering needs to wait for scheduler synchronization).  These patches
introduce APIs for on-the-fly per-probe disabling and re-enabling by
dis-arming/re-arming its breakpoint instruction.

This patch:

Change old_p to ap in add_new_kprobe() for readability, copy flags member
in add_aggr_kprobe(), and simplify the code flow of
register_aggr_kprobe().

Remove called_from argument from kprobes which had been used for
preventing self-refering of kernel module.  However, since we don't keep
module's refcount after registering kprobe any more, there is no reason to

This patch also simplifies registering/unregistering functions because we
don't need to use __builtin_return_address(0) which was passed to
called_from.

Users can check the GONE flag through debugfs.

This also removes mod_refcounted, because we couldn't free a module if
kprobe incremented the refcount of that module.

1294156078 kprobes: add kprobe_insn_mutex and cleanup arch_remove_kprobe()
Add kprobe_insn_mutex for protecting kprobe_insn_pages hlist, and remove
kprobe_mutex from architecture dependent code.

This allows us to call arch_remove_kprobe() (and free_insn_slot) while
holding kprobe_mutex.

bc2f70151f kprobes: bugfix: try_module_get even if calling_mod is NULL
When someone called register_*probe() from kernel-core code(not from
module) and that probes a kernel module, users can remove the probed
module because kprobe doesn't increment reference counter of the module.
(on the other hand, if the kernel-module calls register_*probe, kprobe
increments refcount of the probed module.)

Currently, we have no register_*probe() calling from kernel-core(except
smoke-test, but the smoke-test doesn't probe module), so there is no real
bugs.  But the logic is wrong(or not fair) and it can causes a problem
when someone might want to probe module from kernel.

After this patch is applied, even if someone put register_*probe() call in
the kernel-core code, it increments the reference counter of the probed
module, and it prevents user to remove the module until stopping probing
it.

a189d0350f kprobes: disable preempt for module_text_address() and kernel_text_address()
__register_kprobe() can be preempted after checking probing address but
before module_text_address() or try_module_get(), and in this interval
the module can be unloaded.  In that case, try_module_get(probed_mod)
will access to invalid address, or kprobe will probe invalid address.

This patch uses preempt_disable() to protect it and uses
__module_text_address() and __kernel_text_address().

ef53d9c5e4 kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed locking
Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as
used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table.  We have one
global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists.  This causes
only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time.  Hence affects system
performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on
lot of functions (like on all systemcalls).

Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP
system compared to present kretprobe implementation.

Solution:

 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances
    present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table.  We will have
    two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another
    lock for kretporbe object.

 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe
    instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while
    modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list.  To prevent
    deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe
    lock.

 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can
    track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash
    table.

Time duration for kernel compilation ("make -j 8") on a 8-way ppc64 system
with return probes set on all systemcalls looks like this.

3d8d996e0c kprobes: prevent probing of preempt_schedule()
Prohibit users from probing preempt_schedule().  One way of prohibiting the
user from probing functions is by marking such functions with __kprobes.  But
this method doesn't work for those functions, which are already marked to
different section like preempt_schedule() (belongs to __sched section).  So we
use blacklist approach to refuse user from probing these functions.

In blacklist approach we populate the blacklisted function's starting address
and its size in kprobe_blacklist structure.  Then we verify the user specified
address against start and end of the blacklisted function.  So any attempt to
register probe on blacklisted functions will be rejected.

8c1c935642 x86: kprobes: add kprobes smoke tests that run on boot
Here is a quick and naive smoke test for kprobes. This is intended to
just verify if some unrelated change broke the *probes subsystem. It is
self contained, architecture agnostic and isn't of any great use by itself.

This needs to be built in the kernel and runs a basic set of tests to
verify if kprobes, jprobes and kretprobes run fine on the kernel. In case
of an error, it'll print out a message with a "BUG" prefix.

This is a start; we intend to add more tests to this bucket over time.

Thanks to Jim Keniston and Masami Hiramatsu for comments and suggestions.

cruft for the kprobes page fault hook.  This patch converts them to the

I know Andi didn't really like this, but all other architecture maintainers
agreed the direct calls are much better and besides the obvious cruft
removal a common way of dealing with kprobes across architectures is
important aswell.

cd5bfea278 fix compilation with gcc 4.2
gcc-4.2 is a lot more picky about its symbol handling.  EXPORT_SYMBOL no
longer works on symbols that are undefined or defined with static scope.

For example, with CONFIG_PROFILE off, I see:

  kernel/profile.c:206: error: __ksymtab_profile_event_unregister causes a section type conflict
  kernel/profile.c:205: error: __ksymtab_profile_event_register causes a section type conflict

This patch moves the EXPORTs inside the #ifdef CONFIG_PROFILE, so we
only try to export symbols that are defined.

Also, in kernel/kprobes.c there's an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for
jprobes_return, which if CONFIG_JPROBES is undefined is a static
inline and gives the same error.

And in drivers/acpi/resources/rsxface.c, there's an
ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOPL() for a static symbol. If it's static, it's not
accessible from outside the compilation unit, so should bot be exported.

These three changes allow building a zx1_defconfig kernel with gcc 4.2
on IA64.

3d7e33825d jprobes: make jprobes a little safer for users
I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that
doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use.  This guy I know once
wrote code like this:

struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" };

And then his kernel exploded. Oops.

This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it
either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text
address that it represents.

We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're
passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.

o When a value 1 is echoed to the file, all probes (including ones
  registered in the intervening period) will be enabled
o Unregistration will happen irrespective of whether probes are globally

o Update Documentation/kprobes.txt to reflect these changes. While there
