From c0f7ac3a9edde786bc129d37627953a8b8abefdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2010 08:34:46 -0500 Subject: kprobes/x86: Support kprobes jump optimization on x86 Introduce x86 arch-specific optimization code, which supports both of x86-32 and x86-64. This code also supports safety checking, which decodes whole of a function in which probe is inserted, and checks following conditions before optimization: - The optimized instructions which will be replaced by a jump instruction don't straddle the function boundary. - There is no indirect jump instruction, because it will jumps into the address range which is replaced by jump operand. - There is no jump/loop instruction which jumps into the address range which is replaced by jump operand. - Don't optimize kprobes if it is in functions into which fixup code will jumps. This uses text_poke_multibyte() which doesn't support modifying code on NMI/MCE handler. However, since kprobes itself doesn't support NMI/MCE code probing, it's not a problem. Changes in v9: - Use *_text_reserved() for checking the probe can be optimized. - Verify jump address range is in 2G range when preparing slot. - Backup original code when switching optimized buffer, instead of preparing buffer, because there can be int3 of other probes in preparing phase. - Check kprobe is disabled in arch_check_optimized_kprobe(). - Strictly check indirect jump opcodes (ff /4, ff /5). Changes in v6: - Split stop_machine-based jump patching code. - Update comments and coding style. Changes in v5: - Introduce stop_machine-based jump replacing.
