[PATCH bpf-next v2 0/4] kprobes: rethook: x86: Replace kretprobe trampoline with rethook

[Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>]

Hi,

Here are the 2nd version for generic kretprobe and kretprobe on x86 for
replacing the kretprobe trampoline with rethook. The previous version
is here[1]

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/164818251899.2252200.7306353689206167903.stgit@devnote2/T/#u

In this version I added completing pt_regs by saving regs->ss register
for rethook (from Peter) and optprobe.

Background:

This rethook came from Jiri's request of multiple kprobe for bpf[1].
He tried to solve an issue that starting bpf with multiple kprobe will
take a long time because bpf-kprobe will wait for RCU grace period for
sync rcu events.

Jiri wanted to attach a single bpf handler to multiple kprobes and
he tried to introduce multiple-probe interface to kprobe. So I asked
him to use ftrace and kretprobe-like hook if it is only for the
function entry and exit, instead of adding ad-hoc interface
to kprobes.
For this purpose, I introduced the fprobe (kprobe like interface for
ftrace) with the rethook (this is a generic return hook feature for
fprobe exit handler)[2].

[2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/164191321766.806991.7930388561276940676.stgit@devnote2/T/#u

The rethook is basically same as the kretprobe trampoline. I just made
it decoupled from kprobes. Eventually, the all arch dependent kretprobe
trampolines will be replaced with the rethook trampoline instead of
cloning and set HAVE_RETHOOK=y.
When I port the rethook for all arch which supports kretprobe, the
legacy kretprobe specific code (which is for CONFIG_KRETPROBE_ON_RETHOOK=n)
will be removed eventually.

Worktree notice:

BTW, this patch can be applied to next-20220324, not the bpf-next tree
directly, because this depends on ANNOTATE_NOENDBR macro. However, since
the fprobe is merged in the bpf-next, I marked this for bpf-next.
So until merging the both of fprobes and ENDBR series, to compile this
you need below 2 lines in arch/x86/kernel/rethook.c.

#ifndef ANNOTATE_NOENDBR
#define ANNOTATE_NOENDBR

But after those are merged, these lines will be unneeded. How should I
handle this issue? (Just remove ANNOTATE_NOENDBR line in bpf-next?)


Thank you,
