I saw another branch. Also, this is a bugfix patch against commit 4dd635bce90e ("mm, kprobes: generalize and rename notify_page_fault() as kprobe_page_fault()"), please add Fixes: tag on it. In this case, we should just add a prototype of kprobe_fault_handler() in include/linux/kprobes.h, and maybe add a stub of kprobe_fault_handler() as a weak function, something like below. int __weak kprobe_fault_handler(struct pt_regs *regs, int trapnr) { /* * Each architecture which uses kprobe_page_fault() must define * a fault handler to handle page fault in kprobe correctly. */ WARN_ON_ONCE(1); return 0; } > >> Arch needs to > >> provide kprobe_fault_handler() as it is platform specific and cannot have > >> a generic working alternative.

As far as I can see, gcc complains it because there is no prototype of kprobe_fault_handler(). Actually no need to define empty kprobe_fault_handler() on each arch. If we have a prototype, but no actual function, gcc stops the error unless the arch depending code uses it. So actually, we don't need above __weak function. > Architectures like parisc which does enable KPROBES but > never used (kprobe_page_fault or kprobe->fault_handler) > kprobe_fault_handler() now > needs one as well.

Currently there is a build failure on parisc architecture due to the lack of a kprobe_fault_handler() definition when CONFIG_KPROBES is enabled and this build failure needs to be fixed. This patch solves the build problem. But otherwise I am also happy to just define a stub definition for kprobe_fault_handler() on parisc arch when CONFIG_KPROBES is enabled, which will avoid the build failure. Please suggest.

IIRC Andrew mentioned [1] that we should remove this stub from the generic kprobes header because this is very much architecture specific. As we see in this proposed patch, except x86 there is no other current user which actually calls this from some where when CONFIG_KPROBES is not enabled.

After the recent change which introduced a generic kprobe_page_fault() every architecture enabling CONFIG_KPROBES must have a kprobe_fault_handler() which was not the case earlier. Architectures like parisc which does enable KPROBES but never used (kprobe_page_fault or kprobe->fault_handler) kprobe_fault_handler() now needs one as well. I am not sure and will probably require inputs from arch parsic folks whether it at all needs one. We dont have a stub or fallback definition for kprobe_fault_handler() when CONFIG_KPROBES is enabled just to prevent a build failure in such cases. In such a situation it might be better defining a stub symbol fallback than to try to implement one definition which the architecture previously never needed or used. AFAICS there is no generic MM callers for kprobe_fault_handler() as well which would have made it mandatory for parisc to define a real one. > >> This adds a stub kprobe_fault_handler() definition which not only prevents >> a build failure but also makes sure that kprobe_page_fault() if called will >> always return negative in absence of a sane platform specific alternative. > > I don't like introducing this complicated macro only for avoiding (not fixing) > build error.

But you are right this complicated (if perceived as such) change can be just avoided at least for the build failure problem by just defining a stub definition kprobe_fault_handler() for arch parsic when CONFIG_KPROBES is enabled. But this patch does some more and solves the kprobe_fault_handler() symbol dependency in a more generic way and forces kprobe_page_fault() to fail in absence a real arch kprobe_fault_handler(). Is not it worth solving in this way ? > > BTW, even if you need such generic stub, please use a weak function instead > of macros for every arch headers. There is a bit problem with that. The existing definitions are with different signatures and an weak function will need them to be exact same for override requiring more code changes. Hence choose to go with a macro in each header. arch/arc/include/asm/kprobes.h:int kprobe_fault_handler(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long cause); arch/arm/include/asm/kprobes.h:int kprobe_fault_handler(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned int fsr); arch/arm64/include/asm/kprobes.h:int kprobe_fault_handler(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned int fsr); arch/ia64/include/asm/kprobes.h:extern int kprobe_fault_handler(struct pt_regs *regs, int trapnr); arch/powerpc/include/asm/kprobes.h:extern int kprobe_fault_handler(struct pt_regs *regs, int trapnr); arch/s390/include/asm/kprobes.h:int kprobe_fault_handler(struct pt_regs *regs, int trapnr); arch/sh/include/asm/kprobes.h:extern int kprobe_fault_handler(struct pt_regs *regs, int trapnr); arch/sparc/include/asm/kprobes.h:int kprobe_fault_handler(struct pt_regs *regs, int trapnr); arch/x86/include/asm/kprobes.h:extern int kprobe_fault_handler(struct pt_regs *regs, int trapnr); > >> While here wrap kprobe_page_fault() in CONFIG_KPROBES.

Apart from kprobes_built_in() the intent was to remove !CONFIG_KPROBES stub for kprobe_fault_handler() as well which required making generic kprobe_page_fault() to be empty in such case.

Wait, indeed that each arch need to implement it, but that is for calling kprobe->fault_handler() as user expected.

I don't like introducing this complicated macro only for avoiding (not fixing) build error. To fix that, kprobes on parisc should implement kprobe_fault_handler correctly (and call kprobe->fault_handler). BTW, even if you need such generic stub, please use a weak function instead of macros for every arch headers. > While here wrap kprobe_page_fault() in CONFIG_KPROBES.

If you want to remove kprobes_built_in(), you should replace it with IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KPROBES), instead of this...

[PATCH] mm/kprobes: Add generic kprobe_fault_handler() fallback definition
Architectures like parisc enable CONFIG_KROBES without having a definition for kprobe_fault_handler() which results in a build failure. Arch needs to provide kprobe_fault_handler() as it is platform specific and cannot have a generic working alternative. But in the event when platform lacks such a definition there needs to be a fallback. This adds a stub kprobe_fault_handler() definition which not only prevents a build failure but also makes sure that kprobe_page_fault() if called will always return negative in absence of a sane platform specific alternative. While here wrap kprobe_page_fault() in CONFIG_KPROBES. This enables stud definitions for generic kporbe_fault_handler() and kprobes_built_in() can just be dropped. Only on x86 it needs to be added back locally as it gets used in a !CONFIG_KPROBES function do_general_protection().
