Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/6] Sleepable tracepoints
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2020 15:53:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201023195352.26269-1-mjeanson@efficios.com> (raw)
When invoked from system call enter/exit instrumentation, accessing
user-space data is a common use-case for tracers. However, tracepoints
currently disable preemption around iteration on the registered
tracepoint probes and invocation of the probe callbacks, which prevents
tracers from handling page faults.
Extend the tracepoint and trace event APIs to allow specific tracer
probes to take page faults. Adapt ftrace, perf, and ebpf to allow being
called from sleepable context, and convert the system call enter/exit
instrumentation to sleepable tracepoints.
This series only implements the tracepoint infrastructure required to
allow tracers to handle page faults. Modifying each tracer to handle
those page faults would be a next step after we all agree on this piece
of instrumentation infrastructure.
This patchset is base on v5.9.1.
