* powerpc/kprobes: Do not disable interrupts for optprobes and kprobes_on_ftraceNaveen N. Rao2017-11-121-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | Per Documentation/kprobes.txt, we don't necessarily need to disable interrupts before invoking the kprobe handlers. Masami submitted similar changes for x86 via commit a19b2e3d783964 ("kprobes/x86: Remove IRQ disabling from ftrace-based/optimized kprobes"). Do the same for powerpc. Signed-off-by: Naveen N.

* powerpc/kprobes: Disable preemption before invoking probe handler for optprobesNaveen N. Rao2017-11-121-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Per Documentation/kprobes.txt, probe handlers need to be invoked with preemption disabled. Update optimized_callback() to do so. Also move get_kprobe_ctlblk() invocation post preemption disable, since it accesses pre-cpu data. This was not an issue so far since optprobes wasn't selected if CONFIG_PREEMPT was enabled. Commit a30b85df7d599f ("kprobes: Use synchronize_rcu_tasks() for optprobe with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y") changes this. Signed-off-by: Naveen N.

* powerpc/kprobes: Update optprobes to use emulate_update_regs()Naveen N. Rao2017-09-201-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Optprobes depended on an updated regs->nip from analyse_instr() to identify the location to branch back from the optprobes trampoline. However, since commit 3cdfcbfd32b9d ("powerpc: Change analyse_instr so it doesn't modify *regs"), analyse_instr() doesn't update the registers anymore. Due to this, we end up branching back from the optprobes trampoline to the same branch into the trampoline resulting in a loop. Fix this by calling out to emulate_update_regs() before using the nip. Additionally, explicitly compare the return value from analyse_instr() to 1, rather than just checking for !0 so as to guard against any future changes to analyse_instr() that may result in -1 being returned in more scenarios.

* powerpc: Introduce a new helper to obtain function entry pointsNaveen N. Rao2017-04-241-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | kprobe_lookup_name() is specific to the kprobe subsystem and may not always return the function entry point (in a subsequent patch for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE). For looking up function entry points, introduce a separate helper and use it in optprobes.c Signed-off-by: Naveen N.

* powerpc/kprobes: Fix handling of function offsets on ABIv2Naveen N. Rao2017-04-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 239aeba76409 ("perf powerpc: Fix kprobe and kretprobe handling with kallsyms on ppc64le") changed how we use the offset field in struct kprobe on ABIv2. perf now offsets from the global entry point if an offset is specified and otherwise chooses the local entry point. Fix the same in kernel for kprobe API users. We do this by extending kprobe_lookup_name() to accept an additional parameter to indicate the offset specified with the kprobe registration. If offset is 0, we return the local function entry and return the global entry point otherwise.

* kprobes: Convert kprobe_lookup_name() to a functionNaveen N. Rao2017-04-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | The macro is now pretty long and ugly on powerpc. In the light of further changes needed here, convert it to a __weak variant to be over-ridden with a nicer looking function.

* powerpc/kprobes: Implement OptprobesAnju T2017-02-101-0/+348
Current infrastructure of kprobe uses the unconditional trap instruction to probe a running kernel. Optprobe allows kprobe to replace the trap with a branch instruction to a detour buffer. Detour buffer contains instructions to create an in memory pt_regs. Detour buffer also has a call to optimized_callback() which in turn call the pre_handler(). After the execution of the pre-handler, a call is made for instruction emulation. The NIP is determined in advanced through dummy instruction emulation and a branch instruction is created to the NIP at the end of the trampoline. To address the limitation of branch instruction in POWER architecture, detour buffer slot is allocated from a reserved area. For the time being, 64KB is reserved in memory for this purpose. Instructions which can be emulated using analyse_instr() are the candidates for optimization. Before optimization ensure that the address range between the detour buffer allocated and the instruction being probed is within +/- 32MB.
