[PATCH] kprobes: increment kprobe missed count for multiprobes

2005-12-12T16:57:45Z

When multiple probes are registered at the same address and if due to some recursion (probe getting triggered within a probe handler), we skip calling pre_handlers and just increment nmissed field. The below patch make sure it walks the list for multiple probes case. Without the below patch we get incorrect results of nmissed count for multiple probe case.

[PATCH] kprobes: fix race in aggregate kprobe registration

2005-12-12T16:57:43Z

When registering multiple kprobes at the same address, we leave a small window where the kprobe hlist will not contain a reference to the registered kprobe, leading to potentially, a system crash if the breakpoint is hit on another processor. Patch below now automically relpace the old kprobe with the new kprobe from the hash list. Signed-off-by: Anil S Keshavamurthy Acked-by: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli Cc: "Paul E.

[PATCH] Kprobes: Reference count the modules when probed on it

2005-12-12T16:57:41Z

When a Kprobes are inserted/removed on a modules, the modules must be ref counted so as not to allow to unload while probes are registered on that module. Without this patch, the probed module is free to unload, and when the probing module unregister the probe, the kpobes code while trying to replace the original instruction might crash.

[PATCH] Kprobes: preempt_disable/enable() simplification

2005-11-07T15:53:46Z

Reorganize the preempt_disable/enable calls to eliminate the extra preempt depth. Changes based on Paul McKenney's review suggestions for the kprobes RCU changeset.

[PATCH] Kprobes: Use RCU for (un)register synchronization - base changes

2005-11-07T15:53:46Z

Changes to the base kprobes infrastructure to use RCU for synchronization during kprobe registration and unregistration. These changes coupled with the arch kprobe changes (next in series): a. serialize registration and unregistration of kprobes. b. enable lockless execution of handlers. Handlers can now run in parallel. Signed-off-by: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli Signed-off-by: Anil S Keshavamurthy Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] fix missing includes

2005-10-31T01:37:32Z

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round. Signed-off-by: Tim Schmielau Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] kprobes: fix bug when probed on task and isr functions

2005-09-07T23:58:01Z

This patch fixes a race condition where in system used to hang or sometime crash within minutes when kprobes are inserted on ISR routine and a task routine. The fix has been stress tested on i386, ia64, pp64 and on x86_64. To reproduce the problem insert kprobes on schedule() and do_IRQ() functions and you should see hang or system crash.

[PATCH] Kprobes: prevent possible race conditions generic

2005-09-07T23:57:59Z

There are possible race conditions if probes are placed on routines within the kprobes files and routines used by the kprobes. For example if you put probe on get_kprobe() routines, the system can hang while inserting probes on any routine such as do_fork(). Because while inserting probes on do_fork(), register_kprobes() routine grabs the kprobes spin lock and executes get_kprobe() routine and to handle probe of get_kprobe(), kprobes_handler() gets executed and tries to grab kprobes spin lock, and spins forever. This patch avoids such possible race conditions by preventing probes on routines within the kprobes file and routines used by kprobes. I have modified the patches as per Andi Kleen's suggestion to move kprobes routines and other routines used by kprobes to a seperate section .kprobes.text. Also moved page fault and exception handlers, general protection fault to .kprobes.text section. These patches have been tested on i386, x86_64 and ppc64 architectures, also compiled on ia64 and sparc64 architectures.

[PATCH] kprobes: fix namespace problem and sparc64 build

2005-07-06T02:19:00Z

The following renames arch_init, a kprobes function for performing any architecture specific initialization, to arch_init_kprobes in order to cleanup the namespace. Also, this patch adds arch_init_kprobes to sparc64 to fix the sparc64 kprobes build from the last return probe patch. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
