[RFC PATCH 1/1] [PoC] tracing: kprobe: Add non-stack intrusion return probe event

Masami Hiramatsu
2021-08-29T14:22:31Z

Add kernel return instruction probe event (kriprobe event)
to kprobe event. This will hook the returns of the target function
but does not intrude the real stack entry.
This depends on each architecture implement one function --
find_return_instructions(). If it is implemented correctly,
kprobe event uses the kriprobe event instead of kretprobe.

Note, this is just a PoC code for x86. This doesn't work with
other arch which only supports kretprobe.
Also, This doesn't support the function with the tail call
(jump into another function instead of call & return),
kriprobe doesn't work with it yet.
