Unoptimization occurs when a probe is unregistered or disabled,
and is heavy because it recovers instructions by using
stop_machine(). This patch delays unoptimization operations and
unoptimize several probes at once by using
text_poke_smp_batch(). This can avoid unexpected system slowdown
coming from stop_machine().Changes in v5:
- Split this patch into several cleanup patches and this patch.
- Fix some text_mutex lock miss.
- Use bool instead of int for behavior flags.
- Add additional comment for (un)optimizing path.Changes in v2:
- Use dynamic allocated buffers and params.Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu

Kprobes and jump label were having a race between mutexes that
was fixed by reordering the jump label. But this reordering
moved the jump label mutex into a preempt disable location.This patch does a little fiddling to move the grabbing of
the jump label mutex from inside the preempt disable section
and still keep the order correct between the mutex and the
kprobes lock.Reported-by: Ingo Molnar

register_kprobe() downs the 'text_mutex' and then calls
jump_label_text_reserved(), which downs the 'jump_label_mutex'.
However, the jump label code takes those mutexes in the reverse
order.Fix by requiring the caller of jump_label_text_reserved() to do
the jump label locking via the newly added: jump_label_lock(),
jump_label_unlock(). Currently, kprobes is the only user
of jump_label_text_reserved().Reported-by: Ingo Molnar

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.===== begin semantic patch =====
// This adds an llseek= method to all file operations,
// as a preparation for making no_llseek the default.
//
// The rules are
// - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open
// - use seq_lseek for sequential files
// - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos
// - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos,
// but we still want to allow users to call lseek

base patch to implement 'jump labeling'. Based on a new 'asm goto' inline
assembly gcc mechanism, we can now branch to labels from an 'asm goto'
statment. This allows us to create a 'no-op' fastpath, which can subsequently
be patched with a jump to the slowpath code. This is useful for code which
might be rarely used, but which we'd like to be able to call, if needed.
Tracepoints are the current usecase that these are being implemented for.Acked-by: David S. Miller

Introduce kprobes jump optimization arch-independent parts.
Kprobes uses breakpoint instruction for interrupting execution
flow, on some architectures, it can be replaced by a jump
instruction and interruption emulation code. This gains kprobs'
performance drastically.To enable this feature, set CONFIG_OPTPROBES=y (default y if the
arch supports OPTPROBE).Changes in v9:
- Fix a bug to optimize probe when enabling.
- Check nearby probes can be optimize/unoptimize when disarming/arming
kprobes, instead of registering/unregistering. This will help
kprobe-tracer because most of probes on it are usually disabled.Changes in v6:
- Cleanup coding style for readability.
- Add comments around get/put_online_cpus().Changes in v5:
- Use get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus() for avoiding text_mutex

Every time I see this:
kernel/kprobes.c: In function 'register_kretprobe':
kernel/kprobes.c:1038: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a castI'm wondering if something changed in common code and we need to
do something for s390. Apparently that's not the case.
Let's get rid of this annoying warning.Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

For as long as kretprobes have existed, we've allocated NR_CPUS
instances of kretprobe_instance structures. With the default
value of CONFIG_NR_CPUS increasing on certain architectures, we
are potentially wasting kernel memory.See http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10839#c3 for
more details.Use a saner num_possible_cpus() instead of NR_CPUS for
allocation.Signed-off-by: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli

Make all seq_operations structs const, to help mitigate against
revectoring user-triggerable function pointers.This is derived from the grsecurity patch, although generated from scratch
because it's simpler than extracting the changes from there.Signed-off-by: James Morris
