kprobes: Fix to init kprobes in subsys_initcall

2019-07-16T19:13:45Z

Since arm64 kernel initializes breakpoint trap vector in arch_initcall(), initializing kprobe (and run smoke test) in postcore_initcall() causes a kernel panic. To fix this issue, move the kprobe initialization in subsys_initcall() (which is called right afer the arch_initcall). In-kernel kprobe users (ftrace and bpf) are using fs_initcall() which is called after subsys_initcall(), so this shouldn't cause more problem.

kprobes: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions

2019-06-03T13:49:07Z

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should never do something different based on this. Cc: "Naveen N.

kprobes: Initialize kprobes at postcore_initcall

2019-05-26T03:04:43Z

Initialize kprobes at postcore_initcall level instead of module_init since kprobes is not a module, and it depends on only subsystems initialized in core_initcall. This will allow ftrace kprobe event to add new events when it is initializing because ftrace kprobe event is initialized at later initcall level.

kprobes: Fix error check when reusing optimized probes

2019-04-16T07:38:16Z

The following commit introduced a bug in one of our error paths: 819319fc9346 ("kprobes: Return error if we fail to reuse kprobe instead of BUG_ON()") it missed to handle the return value of kprobe_optready() as error-value. In reality, the kprobe_optready() returns a bool result, so "true" case must be passed instead of 0. This causes some errors on kprobe boot-time selftests on ARM: [ ] Beginning kprobe tests... [ ] Probe ARM code [ ] kprobe [ ] kretprobe [ ] ARM instruction simulation [ ] Check decoding tables [ ] Run test cases [ ] FAIL: test_case_handler not run [ ] FAIL: Test andge r10, r11, r14, asr r7 [ ] FAIL: Scenario 11 ... [ ] FAIL: Scenario 7 [ ] Total instruction simulation tests=1631, pass=1433 fail=198 [ ] kprobe tests failed This can happen if an optimized probe is unregistered and next kprobe is registered on same address until the previous probe is not reclaimed. If this happens, a hidden aggregated probe may be kept in memory, and no new kprobe can probe same address. Also, in that case register_kprobe() will return "1" instead of minus error value, which can mislead caller logic. Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Anil S Keshavamurthy Cc: David S .

kprobes: Search non-suffixed symbol in blacklist

2019-02-13T07:16:40Z

Newer GCC versions can generate some different instances of a function with suffixed symbols if the function is optimized and only has a part of that. (e.g. .constprop, .part etc.) In this case, it is not enough to check the entry of kprobe blacklist because it only records non-suffixed symbol address. To fix this issue, search non-suffixed symbol in blacklist if given address is within a symbol which has a suffix. Note that this can cause false positive cases if a kprobe-safe function is optimized to suffixed instance and has same name symbol which is blacklisted. But I would like to chose a fail-safe design for this issue.

kprobes: Blacklist symbols in arch-defined prohibited area

2018-12-17T16:48:38Z

Blacklist symbols in arch-defined probe-prohibited areas. With this change, user can see all symbols which are prohibited to probe in debugfs. All archtectures which have custom prohibit areas should define its own arch_populate_kprobe_blacklist() function, but unless that, all symbols marked __kprobes are blacklisted.
