[PATCH v5 0/3] tracing: kprobes: Prohibit probing on notrace functions

[PATCH v5 0/3] tracing: kprobes: Prohibit probing on notrace functions

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hi,

This is the 5th version of the series to prohibit kprobe
on notrace functions.

This fixes a build error when CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y but
DYNAMIC_FTRACE=n. Finally I decided to recover the approach
in the 1st version, made it depends on CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE=y.
It is the simplest and enough to prohibiting kernel crash.

So, in summary, if CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE=y (which depends
on CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y, so ftrace_location_range must be
there) && CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_ON_NOTRACE=n (default),
kprobe events can not be defined on notrace function.
Otherwides (means CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE=n or
CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_ON_NOTRACE=y), we can put kprobe events
on notrace functions.

Francis, I dropped your tested-by because I got many kbuild
errors and fixed it. If you can, could you test it again?

Thank you,

[PATCH v5 1/3] tracing: kprobes: Prohibit probing on notrace function

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Prohibit kprobe-events probing on notrace function.
Since probing on the notrace function can cause recursive
event call. In most case those are just skipped, but
in some case it falls into infinit recursive call.

This protection can be disabled by the kconfig
CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_ON_NOTRACE=y, but it is highly
recommended to keep it "n" for normal kernel.
Note that this is only available if "kprobes on ftrace"
has been implemented on target arch and
CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE=y.

  Changes in v2
   - Add CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_ON_NOTRACE kconfig for knocking down
     the protection.
  Changes in v3
   - Fix to check raw-address (no symbol) probe point correctly.
  Changes in v4
   - No notrace check if CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=n. In that case
     notrace is ignored.
  Changes in v5
   - Change dependency on CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE as same as
     original v1 patch does.

Hi Masami,

Note, I made the following changes for grammar. For the Change log I
have this:

    tracing: kprobes: Prohibit probing on notrace function
    
    Prohibit kprobe-events probing on notrace functions.  Since probing on a
    notrace function can cause a recursive event call. In most cases those are just
    skipped, but in some cases it falls into an infinite recursive call.
    
    This protection can be disabled by the kconfig
    CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_ON_NOTRACE=y, but it is highly recommended to keep it
    "n" for normal kernel builds.  Note that this is only available if "kprobes on
    ftrace" has been implemented on the target arch and CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE=y.

[PATCH v5 2/3] selftest/ftrace: Move kprobe selftest function to separate compile unit

[Masami Hiramatsu]

From: Francis Deslauriers <francis.deslauriers@efficios.com>

Move selftest function to its own compile unit so it can be compiled
with the ftrace cflags (CC_FLAGS_FTRACE) allowing it to be probed
during the ftrace startup tests.
