Hi,
Here is a patch that adds a wrapper for defining jprobe.entry to make
it easy to handle the three dword function descriptors defined by the
PowerPC ELF ABI.
Current patch against 2.6.10-rc2-mm1 + kprobes patch for ppc64.
Changes for adding this wrapper for x86, ppc64 (tested) and x86_64
(untested) below. The earlier method of defining jprobe.entry will
continue to work.
Here is a pseudocode snippet to use jprobes with this patch.
............
struct jprobe jp;
jtcp_v4_rcv(struct skbuff *skb)
{
/* decode and log skb related details as required */
jprobe_return();
return 0;
}
init_module
{
jp.kp.addr = (kprobe_opcode_t *)<addr of tcp_v4_rcv>;
jp.entry = JPROBE_ENTRY(jtcp_v4_rcv);
register_jprobe(&jp);
return 0;
}
cleanup_module
{
unregister_jprobe(&jp);
}
............
Dave,
I am not aware of the semantics for sparc64 for making this change.
Thanks,
Ananth

I don't have the kprobes-for-ppc64 patch here.

So what should I do with this? I'm inclined to drop it until the x86_64
part has been tested and Dave has had a go at the sparc64 version.

Yes, now that we have kprobe support on 4 platforms, it is important
that anyone who changes public parts of this interface do the necessary
per-platform fixups necessary to coincide with such changes.
I think the person changing the data type should be the one fixing
up sparc64 :-)

I have now tested the patch succesfully on x86_64 and updated it for
sparc64 too (Dave says the change looks good).
Please apply.

What is the review and testing status of the kprobes-for-ppc64 patch which
you sent?

The patch was earlier posted on the PPC64 mailing list for comments and
Paul had reviewed it. I had to update the patch to take care of the base
kprobe changes that were made to accomodate the x86_64 port.
The patch is tested on POWER3 (uni) and POWER4 (lpar).
Thanks,
Ananth
