[PATCH v3] PowerPC: Replace kretprobe with rethook

[PATCH v3] PowerPC: Replace kretprobe with rethook

[Abhishek Dubey]

This is an adaptation of commit f3a112c0c40d ("x86,rethook,kprobes:
Replace kretprobe with rethook on x86") to PowerPC.

Replaces the kretprobe code with rethook on Power. With this patch,
kretprobe on Power uses the rethook instead of kretprobe specific
trampoline code.

Reference to other archs:
commit b57c2f124098 ("riscv: add riscv rethook implementation")
commit 7b0a096436c2 ("LoongArch: Replace kretprobe with rethook")

Signed-off-by: Abhishek Dubey <adubey@linux.ibm.com>
---

Changes in v3:
* Fixing return address moved to arch_rethook_fixup_return()
* Addressed other minor comments
* show_stack mods to show correct fn name to go in separate patch

Re: [PATCH v3] PowerPC: Replace kretprobe with rethook

[Naveen N Rao]

Hi Abhishek,
This patch looks good to me, except for one main change in 
trampoline_rethook_handler().

Other than that, I have a few more minor comments. Sorry, I should have 
caught that last time. But, the other change needs a new submission, so 
good to get these addressed as well.

For the subject, we generally use 'powerpc' (all lowercase):
	powerpc: Replace kretprobe with rethook

Here too.

In general, it is good to describe what is being done in the patch. So, 
rather than 'Replaces', you can start that with 'Replace kretprobe code 
with rethook on powerpc.'

The second sentence also looks redundant. It is good if you can describe 
what the patch does where possible. For instance:
  Rethook follows the existing kretprobe implementation, but separates 
  it from kprobes so that it can be used by fprobe (ftrace-based 
  function entry/exit probes). As such, this patch also enables fprobe 
  to work on powerpc. The only other change compared to the existing 
  kretprobe implementation is doing the return address fixup in 
  arch_rethook_fixup_return().

I think we should pass in regs->gpr[1] to allow it to be verified 
against the stack pointer we saved on function entry. This can be 
simplified to:

static int trampoline_rethook_handler(struct kprobe *p, struct pt_regs *regs)
{
	return !rethook_trampoline_handler(regs, regs->gpr[1]);
}

I have tested this patch with that change. So, with that change 
included:

No, please don't use arch_init_kprobes() for initializing rethook, since
rethook is used from fprobe too (at this moment).

If you want to make it relays on kprobes, you have to make a dependency
in powerpc's kconfig, e.g.

select HAVE_RETHOOK if KPROBES

But I don't recommend it.

Thank you,

Given that kretprobe has always worked this way on powerpc, I think this
is a fair tradeoff. We get to enable fprobes on powerpc only if kprobes
is also enabled.

Longer term, it would certainly be nice to get rid of that probe, and to
expand the trampoline to directly invoke the rethook callback.


Thanks,
Naveen

OK. In longer term, rethook will be only for kretprobe, and kretprobe
will be replaced by fprobe[1]. So please comment it and add that
