Re: [1/3 PATCH] Kprobes: User space probes support- base interface

Prasanna S Panchamukhi
2006-03-20T06:09:16Z

This patch provides two interfaces to insert and remove
user space probes. Each probe is uniquely identified by
inode and offset within that executable/library file.
Insertion of a probe involves getting the code page for
a given offset, mapping it into the memory and then insert
the breakpoint at the given offset. Also the probe is added
to the uprobe_table hash list. A uprobe_module data strcture
is allocated for every probed application/library image on disk.
Removal of a probe involves getting the code page for a given
offset, mapping that page into the memory and then replacing
the breakpoint instruction with a the original opcode.
This patch also provides aggrigate probe handler feature,
where user can define multiple handlers per probe.
