Subject: [PATCH-V2] perf/probe: verify instruction/offset in perf before adding a uprobe
Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2012 12:06:46 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F9649FE.6060104@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120424061439.14593.97404.stgit@nprashan.in.ibm.com>

This patch is to augment Srikar's perf support for uprobes patch
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/11/191) with the following features:

a. Instruction verification for user space tracing
b. Function boundary validation support to uprobes as its kernel
counterpart (Commit-ID: 1c1bc922).

This will help in ensuring uprobe is placed at right location inside
the intended function.

To verify instructions in perf before adding a uprobe, we need to use
arch/x86/lib/insn.c. Since perf Makefile enables -Wswitch-default flag
it causes build warnings/failures. Masami's patch
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/12/598 addresses those warnings and it is
a pre-req for this patch.

v2 addresses Masami's review comments: Rebuild insn.c and inat.c while
building perf and a few other minor ones.
