[PATCH v2 2.6.38-rc8-tip 11/20] 11: uprobes: slot allocation for uprobes

Srikar Dronamraju
2011-03-14T13:41:55Z

Every task is allocated a fixed slot. When a probe is hit, the original
instruction corresponding to the probe hit is copied to per-task fixed
slot. Currently we allocate one page of slots for each mm. Bitmaps are
used to know which slots are free. Each slot is made of 128 bytes so
that its cache aligned.

TODO: On massively threaded processes (or if a huge number of processes
share the same mm), there is a possiblilty of running out of slots.
One alternative could be to extend the slots as when slots are required.
