<id>urn:sha1:0722069a5374b904ec1a67f91249f90e1cfae259</id>
<content type='text'>
When printing multiple uprobe arguments as strings the output for the
earlier arguments would also include all later string arguments.

This is best explained in an example:

Consider adding a uprobe to a function receiving two strings as
parameters which is at offset 0xa0 in strlib.so and we want to print
both parameters when the uprobe is hit (on x86_64):

$ echo 'p:func /lib/strlib.so:0xa0 +0(%di):string +0(%si):string' &gt; \
    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events

When the function is called as func("foo", "bar") and we hit the probe,
the trace file shows a line like the following:

  [...] func: (0x7f7e683706a0) arg1="foobar" arg2="bar"

Note the extra "bar" printed as part of arg1. This behaviour stacks up
for additional string arguments.

The strings are stored in a dynamically growing part of the uprobe
buffer by fetch_store_string() after copying them from userspace via
strncpy_from_user(). The return value of strncpy_from_user() is then
directly used as the required size for the string. However, this does
not take the terminating null byte into account as the documentation
for strncpy_from_user() cleary states that it "[...] returns the
length of the string (not including the trailing NUL)" even though the
null byte will be copied to the destination.

Therefore, subsequent calls to fetch_store_string() will overwrite
the terminating null byte of the most recently fetched string with
the first character of the current string, leading to the
"accumulation" of strings in earlier arguments in the output.

Fix this by incrementing the return value of strncpy_from_user() by
one if we did not hit the maximum buffer size.

The subsystem-specific message prefix for uprobes was also
"trace_kprobe: " instead of "trace_uprobe: " as described in
the original commit message.

<title>tracing: Consolidate trace_add/remove_event_call back to the nolock functions</title>

<content type='text'>
The trace_add/remove_event_call_nolock() functions were added to allow
the tace_add/remove_event_call() code be called when the event_mutex
lock was already taken. Now that all callers are done within the
event_mutex, there's no reason to have two different interfaces.

Remove the current wrapper trace_add/remove_event_call()s and rename the
_nolock versions back to the original names.

Use dyn_event framework for uprobe events. This shows
uprobe events on "dynamic_events" file.
User can also define new uprobe events via dynamic_events.

<title>tracing/uprobes: Add busy check when cleanup all uprobes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:547cd9eacd1c699c8d1fa77c95c6cdb33b2eba6a</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a busy check loop in cleanup_all_probes() before
trying to remove all events in uprobe_events, the same way
that kprobe_events does.

Without this change, writing null to uprobe_events will
try to remove events but if one of them is enabled, it will
stop there leaving some events cleared and others not clceared.

With this change, writing null to uprobe_events makes
sure all events are not enabled before removing events.
So, it clears all events, or returns an error (-EBUSY)
with keeping all events.

failed. The copy_from_user() returns remaining bytes
when it failed, but probe_mem_read() caller expects it
returns error code like as probe_kernel_read().

<content type='text'>
Add $argN special fetch variable for accessing function
arguments. This allows user to trace the Nth argument easily
at the function entry.

Note that this returns most probably assignment of registers
and stacks. In some case, it may not work well. If you need
to access correct registers or stacks you should use perf-probe.
