Subject: [GIT PULL] uprobes: pre-filtering
Date: Sun, 13 Jan 2013 19:59:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130113185916.GA25831@redhat.com> (raw)

Ingo, please pull from

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/oleg/misc uprobes/core

Mostly pre-filtering. This needs more work and perhaps more functionality.
In particular, perhaps dup_mmap() should remove the unwanted breakpoints.
And we can add more ->filter() hooks to, say, speedup uprobe_register().
Plus we can do some optimizations to avoid register_for_each_vma() in
case when we know that all mm's were previously acked/nacked.

Srikar, the only patch you did not ack explicitely is 1fecb96d
"Do not allocate current->utask unnecessary", but afaics you do not
object.

And the patch from Josh which exports uprobe_register/unregister for modules.
Christoph (cc'ed) doesn't like this change, but I disagree. Whatever you
think about systemtap it is the widely used tool, and uprobes can have other
out-of-tree users. This is like kprobes, kprobe_register() is exported but
it doesn't have a modular in-kernel user too. I do not see why should we
limit the usage of uprobes.

      uprobes: Kill uprobe_consumer->filter()
      uprobes: Introduce filter_chain()
      uprobes: _unregister() should always do register_for_each_vma(false)

      uprobes: Change handle_swbp() to expose bp_vaddr to handler_chain()
      uprobes: Move alloc_page() from xol_add_vma() to xol_alloc_area()
      uprobes: Fold xol_alloc_area() into get_xol_area()
      uprobes: Turn add_utask() into get_utask()
      uprobes: Do not play with utask in xol_get_insn_slot()
      uprobes: Fix utask->xol_vaddr leak in pre_ssout()
