tracing/kprobes: Enforce kprobes teardown after testing

2017-05-25T12:30:17+00:00

commit 30e7d894c1478c88d50ce94ddcdbd7f9763d9cdd upstream.

Enabling the tracer selftest triggers occasionally the warning in
text_poke(), which warns when the to be modified page is not marked
reserved.

The reason is that the tracer selftest installs kprobes on functions marked
__init for testing. These probes are removed after the tests, but that
removal schedules the delayed kprobes_optimizer work, which will do the
actual text poke. If the work is executed after the init text is freed,
then the warning triggers. The bug can be reproduced reliably when the work
delay is increased.

Flush the optimizer work and wait for the optimizing/unoptimizing lists to
become empty before returning from the kprobes tracer selftest. That
ensures that all operations which were queued due to the probes removal
have completed.

perf/x86/hw_breakpoints: Disallow kernel breakpoints unless kprobe-safe

2015-08-04T08:16:54+00:00

Code on the kprobe blacklist doesn't want unexpected int3
exceptions. It probably doesn't want unexpected debug exceptions
either. Be safe: disallow breakpoints in nokprobes code.

On non-CONFIG_KPROBES kernels, there is no kprobe blacklist.  In
that case, disallow kernel breakpoints entirely.

It will be particularly important to keep hw breakpoints out of the
entry and NMI code once we move debug exceptions off the IST stack.

kprobes: makes kprobes/enabled works correctly for optimized kprobes.

2015-02-14T05:21:42+00:00

debugfs/kprobes/enabled doesn't work correctly on optimized kprobes.
Masami Hiramatsu has a test report on x86_64 platform:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/19/274

This patch forces it to unoptimize kprobe if kprobes_all_disarmed is set.
It also checks the flag in unregistering path for skipping unneeded
disarming process when kprobes globally disarmed.

kprobes: set kprobes_all_disarmed earlier to enable re-optimization.

2015-02-14T05:21:42+00:00

In original code, the probed instruction doesn't get optimized after

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled

This is because original code checks kprobes_all_disarmed in
optimize_kprobe(), but this flag is turned off after calling that
function.  Therefore, optimize_kprobe() will see kprobes_all_disarmed ==
true and doesn't do the optimization.

This patch simply turns off kprobes_all_disarmed earlier to enable
optimization.

module: remove mod arg from module_free, rename module_memfree().

2015-01-20T01:08:33+00:00

Nothing needs the module pointer any more, and the next patch will
call it from RCU, where the module itself might no longer exist.
Removing the arg is the safest approach.

This just codifies the use of the module_alloc/module_free pattern
which ftrace and bpf use.

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
 "The most notable change for this pull request is the ftrace rework
  from Heiko.  It brings a small performance improvement and the ground
  work to support a new gcc option to replace the mcount blocks with a
  single nop.

  Two new s390 specific system calls are added to emulate user space
  mmio for PCI, an artifact of the how PCI memory is accessed.

  Two patches for the memory management with changes to common code.
  For KVM mm_forbids_zeropage is added which disables the empty zero
  page for an mm that is used by a KVM process.  And an optimization,
  pmdp_get_and_clear_full is added analog to ptep_get_and_clear_full.

  Some micro optimization for the cmpxchg and the spinlock code.

  And as usual bug fixes and cleanups"
