Subject: [PATCH v11 08/11] tracing: wprobe: Add wprobe event trigger
Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2026 17:19:55 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <178565879572.714490.13763586507727190682.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <178565870538.714490.11309825813968306287.stgit@devnote2>
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Add wprobe event trigger to set and clear the watch event dynamically.
This allows us to set an watchpoint on a given local variables and
a slab object instead of static objects.
The trigger syntax is below:
- set_wprobe:WPROBE:FIELD[+OFFSET][:COUNT] [if FILTER]
- clear_wprobe:WPROBE[:FIELD[+OFFSET]][:COUNT] [if FILTER]
set_wprobe sets the address pointed by FIELD[+offset] to the WPROBE
event. The FIELD is the field name of trigger event.
clear_wprobe clears the watch address of WPROBE event. If the FIELD
option is specified, it clears only if the current watch address is
same as the given FIELD[+OFFSET] value.
COUNT is the max number of activating trigger.
The set_wprobe trigger does not change the type and length, these
must be set when creating a new wprobe.
Also, the WPROBE event must be disabled when setting the new trigger
and it will be busy afterwards. Recommended usage is to add a new
wprobe at NULL address and keep disabled.

Changes in v11:
- Use new modify_local_hw_breakpoint_addr() API.
- Add tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() in wprobe_unregister_trigger()
and parse error path.
- Safely check tw->bp_event for NULL in trace_wprobe_update_local() to
prevent race conditions.
- Use event_trigger_data::private_data_free.
- Add count option support.
- Fix trigger address calculation. (cast rec to char *)
- Add work_pending flag to avoid update conflict with other CPU.
- Fix to check wprobe_data->clear flag in wprobe_trigger_find_same().
Changes in v9:
- Make event_trigger_free() non-static to solve build dependency.
- Sync irq_work and work inside __unregister_trace_wprobe() before
clearing tw->bp_event to prevent concurrent NULL pointer dereference.
- Introduce private_free destructor in struct event_trigger_data to
safely release wprobe_trigger_data after tracepoint readers exit.
- Fix filter memory leak in wprobe_trigger_cmd_parse() on the error
handling path of trace_event_try_get_ref() failure.
- Avoid overwriting tw->addr on clear_wprobe trigger registration to
prevent active watchpoint corruption and hardware breakpoint leak.
Changes in v8:
- Redesign wprobe_trigger() to be safe in NMI/hardirq contexts by
deferring register updates to a workqueue via irq_work.
- Skip trigger execution and increment an atomic missed count
(tw->missed) if the tracepoint runs in NMI context to prevent
recursive spinlock deadlocks. (this is currently hidden counter)
- Prohibit attaching wprobe triggers to kprobe_events by checking
TRACE_EVENT_FL_KPROBE in wprobe_trigger_cmd_parse().
- Use call_rcu() in trigger deactivation path and add
synchronize_rcu() in parse failure path to ensure safe RCU
lifetime cleanup.
- Acquire the target tracepoint's module reference via
trace_event_try_get_ref() to prevent module refcount underflows.
- Fix event_trigger_data memory leak by properly freeing the
initial refcount in wprobe_trigger_cmd_parse() on success.
- Call on_each_cpu() with wait=true in wprobe_work_func() to
prevent use-after-free during trigger unregistration.
- Synchronize concurrent wprobe triggers on the same event by
using a shared raw spinlock (tw->lock).
- Drop the support of kprobe events (that should be done later).
Changes in v7:
- Use kzalloc_obj().
- Update sample code in document.
Changes in v6:
- Update according to the latest change of trigger ops.
Changes in v5:
- Following the suggestions, the documentation was revised to suit rst.
Changes in v3:
- Add FIELD option support for clear_wprobe and update document.
- Fix to unregister/free event_trigger_data on file correctly.
- Fix syntax comments.
Changes in v2:
- Getting local cpu perf_event from trace_wprobe directly.
- Remove trace_wprobe_local_perf() because it is conditionally unused.
- Make CONFIG_WPROBE_TRIGGERS a hidden config.

<idle>-0 [000] d.Z1. 717.026373: my_jiffies: (tick_do_update_jiffies64+0xbe/0x130)
You can see the code which writes to `jiffies` is `tick_do_update_jiffies64()`.
+
+Combination with trigger action
+-------------------------------
+The event trigger action can extend the utilization of this wprobe.
+
+- set_wprobe:WPEVENT:FIELD[+|-ADJUST]
+- clear_wprobe:WPEVENT[:FIELD[+|-]ADJUST]
+
+Set these triggers to the target event, then the WPROBE event will be
+setup to trace the memory access at FIELD[+|-ADJUST] address.
+When clear_wprobe is hit, if FIELD is NOT specified, the WPEVENT is
+forcibly cleared. If FIELD[[+|-]ADJUST] is set, it clears WPEVENT only
+if its watching address is the same as the FIELD[[+|-]ADJUST] value.
+
+Notes:
+The set_wprobe trigger does not change the type and length, these
+must be set when creating a new wprobe.
+
+The WPROBE event must be disabled when setting the new trigger
+and it will be busy afterwards. Recommended usage is to add a new
+wprobe at NULL address and keep disabled.
+
+Wprobe triggers are not supported on kprobe_events, because kprobes
+themselves can use software breakpoints which conflicts with wprobe
+operation.
+
+
+For example, trace the first 8 bytes of the dentry data structure passed
+to do_truncate() until it is deleted by dentry_kill().
+(Note: all tracefs setup uses '>>' so that it does not kick do_truncate())
+::
+
+ # echo 'w:watch rw@0:8 address=$addr value=+0($addr)' >> dynamic_events
+ # echo 'f:truncate do_truncate dentry=$arg2' >> dynamic_events
+ # echo 'set_wprobe:watch:dentry' >> events/fprobes/truncate/trigger
+ # echo 'f:dentry_kill dentry_kill dentry=$arg1' >> dynamic_events
+ # echo 'clear_wprobe:watch:dentry' >> events/fprobes/dentry_kill/trigger
+ # echo 1 >> events/fprobes/truncate/enable
+ # echo 1 >> events/fprobes/dentry_kill/enable
+
+ # echo aaa > /tmp/hoge
+ # echo bbb > /tmp/hoge
+ # echo ccc > /tmp/hoge
+ # rm /tmp/hoge
+
+Then, the trace data will show::
