From 682968e0c425c60f0dde37977e5beb2b12ddc4cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Srikar Dronamraju Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2012 23:56:46 +0530 Subject: uprobes/core: Optimize probe hits with the help of a counter Maintain a per-mm counter: number of uprobes that are inserted on this process address space. This counter can be used at probe hit time to determine if we need a lookup in the uprobes rbtree. Everytime a probe gets inserted successfully, the probe count is incremented and everytime a probe gets removed, the probe count is decremented. The new uprobe_munmap hook ensures the count is correct on a unmap or remap of a region. We expect that once a uprobe_munmap() is called, the vma goes away. So uprobe_unregister() finding a probe to unregister would either mean unmap event hasnt occurred yet or a mmap event on the same executable file occured after a unmap event. Additionally, uprobe_mmap hook now also gets called: a. on every executable vma that is COWed at fork. b. a vma of interest is newly mapped; breakpoint insertion also happens at the required address. On process creation, make sure the probes count in the child is set correctly. Special cases that are taken care include: a. mremap b. VM_DONTCOPY vmas on fork() c. insertion/removal races in the parent during fork().
