[PATCH 3/6] uprobes: teach find_active_uprobe() to provide the "is_swbp" info

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

 



A separate patch to simplify the review, and for the documentation.

The patch adds another "int *is_swbp" argument to find_active_uprobe(),
so far its only caller doesn't use this info.

With this patch find_active_uprobe() additionally does:

	- if find_vma() + ->vm_start check fails, *is_swbp = -EFAULT

	- otherwise, if valid_vma() + find_uprobe() fails, we return
	  the result of is_swbp_at_addr_fast(), can be -EFAULT too.

IOW. If find_active_uprobe(&is_swbp) returns NULL, the caller can look
at is_swbp to figure out if the current insn is bp or not, or if we
can't access this memory.

Note: I think that performance-wise this change is fine. This adds
is_swbp_at_addr_fast(), but only if we race with uprobe_unregister()
or we hit the "normal" int3 but this mm has uprobes as well. And even
in this case the slow read_opcode() path is very unlikely, this insn
recently triggered do_int3(), __copy_from_user_inatomic() shouldn't
fail in the likely case.
