[PATCH v3 0/5] tracing/probes: Cleanup with guard and __free for kprobe and fprobe

[Masami Hiramatsu (Google)]

Hi,

Here is the 3rd version of the series to fix and cleanup probe events in
ftrace with __free(). I resend this without dynevent and argv_free
parts because it has been sent by Steve[1]. And I updated the version
tag.

In this version, I fixed some issues[5/7] and update DEFINE_FREE() tag
name to specify freeing function name so that reader can understand it
easily[2/7].
Also, I added trace_fprobe cleanup with free[7/7].

Thanks,

[PATCH v3 1/5] tracing/kprobes: Fix to free objects when failed to copy a symbol

[Masami Hiramatsu (Google)]

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

In __trace_kprobe_create(), if something fails it must goto error block
to free objects. But when strdup() a symbol, it returns without that.
Fix it to goto the error block to free objects correctly.

I don't get this? You are telling the compiler not to free tmp, because you
decided to free it yourself? Why not just remove the kfree() here altogether?

In the for-loop block, the __free() work only when we exit the loop, not
each iteration. In each iteration, kstrdup() is assigned to the 'tmp',
so we need to kfree() each time.

Hmm, maybe this is a sign that I should not use __free() for the 'tmp',
or I should call kfree(tmp) right before kstrdup(), like below.

 	for (i = 0; i < argc; i++) {
		char *tmp __free(kfree) = NULL;
		...
		kfree(tmp);
		tmp = kstrdup(argv[i], GFP_KERNEL);
	}

Does this make sense?

Really? It doesn't trigger for each iteration? That's rather unintuitive. :-/
And sounds buggy, as wouldn't that then cause a memory leak?

I would say not to use __free() for tmp at all. Because now it's just
getting confusing.

Ahh, sorry, it was my misunderstood. I made a test code and confirmed that
kfree() is called in each iteration. Previously I checked but I confused the result.

----------
#include <stdio.h>

void count_func(int *p)
{
	printf("Scope out: %d\n", *p);
}

int main(void)
{
	for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
		int j __attribute((cleanup(count_func))) = 0;

		j++;
	}
	return 0;
}
----------

$ ./loop_cleanup 
Scope out: 1
Scope out: 1
Scope out: 1
Scope out: 1
Scope out: 1
Scope out: 1
Scope out: 1
Scope out: 1
Scope out: 1
Scope out: 1

Let me fix that.

Thanks,

[PATCH v3 3/5] tracing: Use __free() for kprobe events to cleanup

[Masami Hiramatsu (Google)]

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Use __free() in trace_kprobe.c to cleanup code.

Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
---
 Changes in v3:
  - Rename to __free(free_trace_kprobe) to clarify what function will be called.
  - Add !IS_ERR_OR_NULL() check because alloc_trace_kprobe() returns an error code.
  - Prevent freeing 'tk' in create_local_trace_kprobe() when succeeded to register.
 Changes in v2:
  - Instead of using no_free_ptr(), just assign NULL to the registered pointer.
