[PATCH v2 2.6.38-rc8-tip 5/20] 5: Uprobes: register/unregister probes.

Srikar Dronamraju

A probe is specified by a file:offset. While registering, a breakpoint
is inserted for the first consumer, On subsequent probes, the consumer
gets appended to the existing consumers. While unregistering a
breakpoint is removed if the consumer happens to be the last consumer.
All other unregisterations, the consumer is deleted from the list of
consumers.

Probe specifications are maintained in a rb tree. A probe specification
is converted into a uprobe before store in a rb tree. A uprobe can be
shared by many consumers.

Given a inode, we get a list of mm's that have mapped the inode.
However we want to limit the probes to certain processes/threads. The
filtering should be at thread level. To limit the probes to a certain
processes/threads, we would want to walk through the list of threads
whose mm member refer to a given mm.

Here are the options that I thought of:
1. Use mm->owner and walk thro the thread_group of mm->owner, siblings
of mm->owner, siblings of parent of mm->owner. This should be
good list to traverse. Not sure if this is an exhaustive
enough list that all tasks that have a mm set to this mm_struct are
walked through.

2. Install probes on all mm's that have mapped the probes and filter
only at probe hit time.

3. walk thro do_each_thread; while_each_thread; I think this will catch
all tasks that have a mm set to the given mm. However this might
be too heavy esp if mm corresponds to a library.

4. add a list_head element to the mm struct and update the list whenever
the task->mm thread gets updated. This could mean extending the current
mm->owner. However there is some maintainance overhead.

Currently we use the second approach, i.e probe all mm's that have mapped
the probes and filter only at probe hit.

Also would be interested to know if there are ways to call
replace_page without having to take mmap_sem.
