From 3a872d89baae821a0f6e2c1055d4b47650661137 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2006 02:17:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Kprobes: Make kprobe modules more portable In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that: o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe. The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have to specify the ".symbols" o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to specify an offset into a symbol. o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported. However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified, probe registration fails with an -EINVAL. o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't work, say, on powerpc) Signed-off-by: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli Signed-off-by: Prasanna S Panchamukhi Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- kernel/kallsyms.c | 1 - kernel/kprobes.c | 26 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'kernel') diff --git a/kernel/kallsyms.c b/kernel/kallsyms.c index ab16a5a4cfe..342bca62c49 100644 --- a/kernel/kallsyms.c +++ b/kernel/kallsyms.c @@ -154,7 +154,6 @@ unsigned long kallsyms_lookup_name(const char *name) } return module_kallsyms_lookup_name(name); } -EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(kallsyms_lookup_name); /* * Lookup an address diff --git a/kernel/kprobes.c b/kernel/kprobes.c index 3f57dfdc8f9..f66b8e681b4 100644 --- a/kernel/kprobes.c +++ b/kernel/kprobes.c @@ -37,6 +37,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include #include #include #include @@ -45,6 +46,16 @@ #define KPROBE_HASH_BITS 6 #define KPROBE_TABLE_SIZE (1 << KPROBE_HASH_BITS) + +/* + * Some oddball architectures like 64bit powerpc have function descriptors + * so this must be overridable. + */ +#ifndef kprobe_lookup_name +#define kprobe_lookup_name(name, addr) \ + addr = ((kprobe_opcode_t *)(kallsyms_lookup_name(name))) +#endif + static struct hlist_head kprobe_table[KPROBE_TABLE_SIZE]; static struct hlist_head kretprobe_inst_table[KPROBE_TABLE_SIZE]; static atomic_t kprobe_count; @@ -447,6 +458,21 @@ static int __kprobes __register_kprobe(struct kprobe *p, struct kprobe *old_p; struct module *probed_mod; + /* + * If we have a symbol_name argument look it up, + * and add it to the address.
