[PATCH v2 6/9] trace_uprobe: Support SDT markers having reference count (semaphore)

Userspace Statically Defined Tracepoints[1] are dtrace style markers inside userspace applications. These markers are added by developer at important places in the code. Each marker source expands to a single nop instruction in the compiled code but there may be additional overhead for computing th

[PATCH v2 1/9] Uprobe: Export vaddr <-> offset conversion functions

These are generic functions which operates on file offset and virtual address. Make these functions available outside of uprobe code so that other can use it as well. Signed-off-by: Ravi Bangoria Reviewed-by: Jérôme Glisse --- include/linux/mm.h | 12 kernel/events/uprobes.c |

[PATCH v2 0/9] trace_uprobe: Support SDT markers having reference count (semaphore)

Userspace Statically Defined Tracepoints[1] are dtrace style markers inside userspace applications. Applications like PostgreSQL, MySQL, Pthread, Perl, Python, Java, Ruby, Node.js, libvirt, QEMU, glib etc have these markers embedded in them. These markers are added by developer at important places

[PATCH v2 5/9] Uprobe: Export uprobe_map_info along with uprobe_{build/free}_map_info()

Given the file(inode) and offset, build_map_info() finds all existing mm that map the portion of file containing offset. Exporting these functions and data structure will help to use them in other set of files. Signed-off-by: Ravi Bangoria Reviewed-by: Jérôme Glisse --- include/linux/uprobes.h

[PATCH v2 4/9] Uprobe: Rename map_info to uprobe_map_info

map_info is very generic name, rename it to uprobe_map_info. Renaming will help to export this structure outside of the file. Also rename free_map_info() to uprobe_free_map_info() and build_map_info() to uprobe_build_map_info(). Signed-off-by: Ravi Bangoria Reviewed-by: Jérôme Glisse --- kerne

[PATCH v2 3/9] Uprobe: Move mmput() into free_map_info()

From: Oleg Nesterov build_map_info() has a side effect like one need to perform mmput() when done with the mm. Add mmput() in free_map_info() so that user does not have to call it explicitly. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: Ravi Bangoria --- kernel/events/uprobes.c | 9 ++---

[PATCH v2 9/9] perf probe: Support SDT markers having reference counter (semaphore)

With this, perf buildid-cache will save SDT markers with reference counter in probe cache. Perf probe will be able to probe markers having reference counter. Ex, # readelf -n /tmp/tick | grep -A1 loop2 Name: loop2 ... Semaphore: 0x10020036 # ./perf buildid-cache --add /tmp/tic

[PATCH v2 7/9] trace_uprobe/sdt: Fix multiple update of same reference counter

When virtual memory map for binary/library is being prepared, there is no direct one to one mapping between mmap() and virtual memory area. Ex, when loader loads the library, it first calls mmap(size = total_size), where total_size is addition of size of all elf sections that are going to be mapped

[PATCH v2 8/9] trace_uprobe/sdt: Document about reference counter

Reference counter gate the invocation of probe. If present, by default reference count is 0. Kernel needs to increment it before tracing the probe and decrement it when done. This is identical to semaphore in Userspace Statically Defined Tracepoints (USDT). Document usage of reference counter. Si
