Subject: [PATCH 6/7] uprobes: teach handle_swbp() to rely on "is_swbp" rather than uprobes_srcu
Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 21:29:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120529192947.GF8057@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120529192721.GA8048@redhat.com>
Currently handle_swbp() assumes that it can't race with unregister,
so it roughly does:
if (find_uprobe(vaddr))
process_uprobe();
else
send_sig(SIGTRAP);
This relies on the not-really-working uprobes_srcu code we are going
to remove, see the next patch.
With this patch we rely on the result of is_swbp_at_addr(bp_vaddr)
if find_uprobe() fails.
If is_swbp == 1, then we hit the normal int3, we should send SIGTRAP.
If is_swbp == 0, we raced with uprobe_unregister(), we simply restart
this insn again.
The "difficult" case is is_swbp == -EFAULT, when we can't read this
memory. In this case I think we should restart too, and this is more
correct compared to the current code which sends SIGTRAP.
Ignoring ENOMEM/etc from get_user_pages(), this can only happen if
another thread unmaps this memory before find_active_uprobe() takes
mmap_sem. It would be better to pretend it was unmapped before this
insn was executed, restart, and get SIGSEGV.
