<title>uprobes/x86: Make arch_uretprobe_is_alive(RP_CHECK_CALL) more clever</title>

<id>db087ef69a2b155ae001665bf0b3806abde7ee34</id>
<content type='text'>
The previous change documents that cleanup_return_instances()
can't always detect the dead frames, the stack can grow. But
there is one special case which imho worth fixing:
arch_uretprobe_is_alive() can return true when the stack didn't
actually grow, but the next "call" insn uses the already
invalidated frame.

Test-case:

	#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
	#include &lt;setjmp.h&gt;

	jmp_buf jmp;
	int nr = 1024;

	void func_2(void)
	{
		if (--nr == 0)
			return;
		longjmp(jmp, 1);
	}

	void func_1(void)
	{
		setjmp(jmp);
		func_2();
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		func_1();
		return 0;
	}

If you ret-probe func_1() and func_2() prepare_uretprobe() hits
the MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH limit and "return" from func_2() is not
reported.

When we know that the new call is not chained, we can do the
more strict check. In this case "sp" points to the new ret-addr,
so every frame which uses the same "sp" must be dead. The only
complication is that arch_uretprobe_is_alive() needs to know was
it chained or not, so we add the new RP_CHECK_CHAIN_CALL enum
and change prepare_uretprobe() to pass RP_CHECK_CALL only if
!chained.

Note: arch_uretprobe_is_alive() could also re-read *sp and check
if this word is still trampoline_vaddr. This could obviously
improve the logic, but I would like to avoid another
copy_from_user() especially in the case when we can't avoid the
false "alive == T" positives.

arch/x86 doesn't care (so far), but as Pratyush Anand pointed
out other architectures might want why arch_uretprobe_is_alive()
was called and use different checks depending on the context.
Add the new argument to distinguish 2 callers.

Add the x86 specific version of arch_uretprobe_is_alive()
helper. It returns true if the stack frame mangled by
prepare_uretprobe() is still on stack. So if it returns false,
we know that the probed function has already returned.

We add the new return_instance-&gt;stack member and change the
generic code to initialize it in prepare_uretprobe, but it
should be equally useful for other architectures.

TODO: this assumes that the probed application can't use
      multiple stacks (say sigaltstack). We will try to improve
      this logic later.

Add the new "weak" helper, arch_uretprobe_is_alive(), used by
the next patches. It should return true if this return_instance
is still valid. The arch agnostic version just always returns
true.

The patch exports "struct return_instance" for the architectures
which want to override this hook. We can also cleanup
prepare_uretprobe() if we pass the new return_instance to
arch_uretprobe_hijack_return_addr().

<title>uprobes: Remove "weak" from function declarations</title>

For the following interfaces:

  set_swbp()
  set_orig_insn()
  is_swbp_insn()
  is_trap_insn()
  uprobe_get_swbp_addr()
  arch_uprobe_ignore()
  arch_uprobe_copy_ixol()

kernel/events/uprobes.c provides default definitions explicitly marked
"weak".  Some architectures provide their own definitions intended to
override the defaults, but the "weak" attribute on the declarations applied
to the arch definitions as well, so the linker chose one based on link
order (see 10629d711ed7 ("PCI: Remove __weak annotation from
pcibios_get_phb_of_node decl")).

Remove the "weak" attribute from the declarations so we always prefer a
non-weak definition over the weak one, independent of link order.

<title>ARM: 8043/1: uprobes need icache flush after xol write</title>

After instruction write into xol area, on ARM V7
architecture code need to flush dcache and icache to sync
them up for given set of addresses. Having just
'flush_dcache_page(page)' call is not enough - it is
possible to have stale instruction sitting in icache
for given xol area slot address.

Introduce arch_uprobe_ixol_copy weak function
that by default calls uprobes copy_to_page function and
than flush_dcache_page function and on ARM define new one
that handles xol slot copy in ARM specific way

flush_uprobe_xol_access function shares/reuses implementation
with/of flush_ptrace_access function and takes care of writing
instruction to user land address space on given variety of
different cache types on ARM CPUs. Because
flush_uprobe_xol_access does not have vma around
flush_ptrace_access was split into two parts. First that
retrieves set of condition from vma and common that receives
those conditions as flags.

Note ARM cache flush function need kernel address
through which instruction write happened, so instead
of using uprobes copy_to_page function changed
code to explicitly map page and do memcpy.

Note arch_uprobe_copy_ixol function, in similar way as
copy_to_user_page function, has preempt_disable/preempt_enable.

<title>uprobes/x86: Fix the wrong -&gt;si_addr when xol triggers a trap</title>

<content type='text'>
If the probed insn triggers a trap, -&gt;si_addr = regs-&gt;ip is technically
correct, but this is not what the signal handler wants; we need to pass
the address of the probed insn, not the address of xol slot.

Add the new arch-agnostic helper, uprobe_get_trap_addr(), and change
fill_trap_info() and math_error() to use it. !CONFIG_UPROBES case in
uprobes.h uses a macro to avoid include hell and ensure that it can be
compiled even if an architecture doesn't define instruction_pointer().

Test-case:

	#include &lt;signal.h&gt;
	#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

	extern void probe_div(void);

	void sigh(int sig, siginfo_t *info, void *c)
	{
		int passed = (info-&gt;si_addr == probe_div);
		printf(passed ? "PASS\n" : "FAIL\n");
		_exit(!passed);
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		struct sigaction sa = {
			.sa_sigaction	= sigh,
			.sa_flags	= SA_SIGINFO,
		};

		sigaction(SIGFPE, &amp;sa, NULL);

		asm (
			"xor %ecx,%ecx\n"
			".globl probe_div; probe_div:\n"
			"idiv %ecx\n"
		);

		return 0;
	}

it fails if probe_div() is probed.

Note: show_unhandled_signals users should probably use this helper too,
but we need to cleanup them first.
