Fetching from user space should be done in a non-atomic context. So
use a per-cpu buffer and copy its content to the ring buffer
atomically. Note that we can migrate during accessing user memory
thus use a per-cpu mutex to protect concurrent accesses.
This is needed since we'll be able to fetch args from an user memory
which can be swapped out. Before that uprobes could fetch args from
registers only which saved in a kernel space.
While at it, use __get_data_size() and store_trace_args() to reduce
code duplication. And add struct uprobe_cpu_buffer and its helpers as
suggested by Oleg.

The trace event filters are still tied to event calls rather than
event files, which means you don't get what you'd expect when using
filters in the multibuffer case:
Before:
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048
Setting the filter in tracing/instances/test1/events shouldn't affect
the same event in tracing/events as it does above.
After:
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048
We'd like to just move the filter directly from ftrace_event_call to
ftrace_event_file, but there are a couple cases that don't yet have
multibuffer support and therefore have to continue using the current
event_call-based filters. For those cases, a new USE_CALL_FILTER bit
is added to the event_call flags, whose main purpose is to keep the
old behavior for those cases until they can be updated with
multibuffer support; at that point, the USE_CALL_FILTER flag (and the
new associated call_filter_check_discard() function) can go away.
The multibuffer support also made filter_current_check_discard()
redundant, so this change removes that function as well and replaces
it with filter_check_discard() (or call_filter_check_discard() as
appropriate).

Uprobes suffer the same problem that kprobes have. There's a race between
writing to the "enable" file and removing the probe. The probe checks for
it being in use and if it is not, goes about deleting the probe and the
event that represents it. But the problem with that is, after it checks
if it is in use it can be enabled, and the deletion of the event (access
to the probe) will fail, as it is in use. But the uprobe will still be
deleted. This is a problem as the event can reference the uprobe that
was deleted.
The fix is to remove the event first, and check to make sure the event
removal succeeds. Then it is safe to remove the probe.
When the event exists, either ftrace or perf can enable the probe and
prevent the event from being removed.

uprobe_dispatcher() to return "trace_ret | perf_ret" although this is not
needed, currently TP_FLAG_TRACE/TP_FLAG_PROFILE are mutually exclusive.
The only functional change is that uprobe_perf_func() checks the filtering
too and returns UPROBE_HANDLER_REMOVE if nobody wants to trace current.
Testing:
# perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 syscall
# perf record -e probe_libc:syscall -i perl -e 'fork; syscall -1 for 1..10; wait'
# perf report --show-total-period

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile
/lib/libc.so.6 syscall 20

"copied" by dup_mmap().
After the patch:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile

Finally implement uprobe_perf_filter() which checks ->nr_systemwide or
->perf_events to figure out whether we need to insert the breakpoint.
uprobe_perf_open/close are changed to do uprobe_apply(true/false) when
the new perf event comes or goes away.
Note that currently this is very suboptimal:
- uprobe_register() called by TRACE_REG_PERF_REGISTER becomes a
heavy nop, consumer->filter() always returns F at this stage.
As it was already discussed we need uprobe_register_only() to
avoid the costly register_for_each_vma() when possible.
- uprobe_apply() is oftenly overkill. Unless "nr_systemwide != 0"
changes we need uprobe_apply_mm(), unapply_uprobe() is almost
what we need.
- uprobe_apply() can be simply avoided sometimes, see the next
changes.
Testing:
# perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 syscall
# perl -e 'syscall -1 while 1' &
[1] 530
# perf record -e probe_libc:syscall perl -e 'syscall -1 for 1..10; sleep 1'
# perf report --show-total-period
100.00% 10 perl libc-2.8.so [.] syscall
Before this patch:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile
/lib/libc.so.6 syscall 79291
A huge ->nrhit == 79291 reflects the fact that the background process
530 constantly hits this breakpoint too, even if doesn't contribute to
the output.
After the patch:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile

Introduce "struct trace_uprobe_filter" which records the "active"
perf_event's attached to ftrace_event_call. For the start we simply
use list_head, we can optimize this later if needed. For example, we
do not really need to record an event with ->parent != NULL, we can
rely on parent->child_list. And we can certainly do some optimizations
for the case when 2 events have the same ->tp_target or tp_target->mm.
Change trace_uprobe_register() to process TRACE_REG_PERF_OPEN/CLOSE

A few events are interesting not only for a current task.
For example, sched_stat_* events are interesting for a task
which wakes up. For this reason, it will be good if such
events will be delivered to a target task too.
Now a target task can be set by using __perf_task().
The original idea and a draft patch belongs to Peter Zijlstra.
I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for
getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods.
These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by
perf tools.
