[RFC PATCH 0/5] bpf: fprobe: rethook: Use ftrace_regs instead of pt_regs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Here is RFC series to use ftrace_regs instead of pt_regs. But this includes
the generic part and minimum modifications of arch dependent code. (e.g. not
including rethook for arm64.) This series is based on the discussion at

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230801112036.0d4ee60d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

This has 5 patches,

 - Simply replace pt_regs in fprobe_entry_handler with ftrace_regs.
 - Replace pt_regs in rethook and fprobe_exit_handler with ftrace_regs. This
   introduce a new HAVE_PT_REGS_COMPAT_FTRACE_REGS which means ftrace_regs is
   just a wrapper of pt_regs (except for arm64, other architectures do this)
 - Update fprobe-events to use ftrace_regs natively.
 - Introduce ftrace_partial_regs(). (This changes ARM64 which needs a custom
   implementation)
 - Update bpf multi-kprobe handler use ftrace_partial_regs().

Florent, feel free to add your rethook for arm64, but please do not remove
kretprobe trampoline yet. It is another discussion point. We may be possible
to use ftrace_regs for kretprobe by ftrace_partial_regs() but kretprobe
allows nest probe. (maybe we can skip that case?)

Thank you,
