Uprobe is a tracing mechanism for userspace programs.
Typical uprobe will incur overhead of two traps.
First trap is caused by replaced trap insn, and
the second trap is to execute the original displaced
insn in user space.
To reduce the overhead, kernel provides hooks
for architectures to emulate the original insn
and skip the second trap. In x86, emulation
is done for certain branch insns.
This patch extends the emulation to "push <reg>"
insns. These insns are typical in the beginning
of the function. For example, bcc
in https://github.com/iovisor/bcc repo provides
tools to measure funclantency, detect memleak, etc.
The tools will place uprobes in the beginning of
function and possibly uretprobes at the end of function.
This patch is able to reduce the trap overhead for
uprobe from 2 to 1.
Without this patch, uretprobe will typically incur
three traps. With this patch, if the function starts
with "push" insn, the number of traps can be
reduced from 3 to 2.
An experiment was conducted on two local VMs,
fedora 26 64-bit VM and 32-bit VM, both 4 processors
and 4GB memory, booted with latest tip repo (and this patch).
The host is MacBook with intel i7 processor.
The test program looks like:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
static void test() __attribute__((noinline));
void test() {}
int main() {
struct timeval start, end;
gettimeofday(&start, NULL);
for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
test();
}
gettimeofday(&end, NULL);
printf("%ld\n", ((end.tv_sec * 1000000 + end.tv_usec)
- (start.tv_sec * 1000000 + start.tv_usec)));
return 0;
}
The program is compiled without optimization, and
the first insn for function "test" is "push %rbp".
The host is relatively idle.
Before the test run, the uprobe is inserted as below for uprobe:
echo 'p <binary>:<test_func_offset>' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/uprobes/enable
and for uretprobe:
echo 'r <binary>:<test_func_offset>' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/uprobes/enable
Unit: microsecond(usec) per loop iteration
x86_64 W/ this patch W/O this patch
uprobe 1.55 3.1
uretprobe 2.0 3.6
x86_32 W/ this patch W/O this patch
uprobe 1.41 3.5
uretprobe 1.75 4.0
You can see that this patch significantly reduced the overhead,
50% for uprobe and 44% for uretprobe on x86_64, and even more
on x86_32.

See the previous "Emulate unconditional relative jmp's" which explains
why we can not execute "jmp" out-of-line, the same applies to "call".
Emulating of rip-relative call is trivial, we only need to additionally
push the ret-address. If this fails, we execute this instruction out of
line and this should trigger the trap, the probed application should die
or the same insn will be restarted if a signal handler expands the stack.
We do not even need ->post_xol() for this case.
But there is a corner (and almost theoretical) case: another thread can
expand the stack right before we execute this insn out of line. In this
case it hit the same problem we are trying to solve. So we simply turn
the probed insn into "call 1f; 1:" and add ->post_xol() which restores
->sp and restarts.
Many thanks to Jonathan who finally found the standalone reproducer,
otherwise I would never resolve the "random SIGSEGV's under systemtap"
bug-report. Now that the problem is clear we can write the simplified
test-case:
void probe_func(void), callee(void);
int failed = 1;
asm (
".text\n"
".align 4096\n"
".globl probe_func\n"
"probe_func:\n"
"call callee\n"
"ret"
);
/*
* This assumes that:
*
* - &probe_func = 0x401000 + a_bit, aligned = 0x402000
*
* - xol_vma->vm_start = TASK_SIZE_MAX - PAGE_SIZE = 0x7fffffffe000
* as xol_add_vma() asks; the 1st slot = 0x7fffffffe080
*
* so we can target the non-canonical address from xol_vma using
* the simple math below, 100 * 4096 is just the random offset
*/
asm (".org . + 0x800000000000 - 0x7fffffffe080 - 5 - 1 + 100 * 4096\n");
void callee(void)
{
failed = 0;
}
int main(void)
{
probe_func();
return failed;
}
It SIGSEGV's if you probe "probe_func" (although this is not very reliable,
randomize_va_space/etc can change the placement of xol area).
Note: as Denys Vlasenko pointed out, amd and intel treat "callw" (0x66 0xe8)
differently. This patch relies on lib/insn.c and thus implements the intel's
behaviour: 0x66 is simply ignored. Fortunately nothing sane should ever use
this insn, so we postpone the fix until we decide what should we do; emulate
or not, support or not, etc.

Currently we always execute all insns out-of-line, including relative

after the single-step, default_post_xol_op(UPROBE_FIX_IP) logic will
update it correctly.
However, this doesn't work if this regs->ip == xol_vaddr + insn_offset
is not canonical. In this case CPU generates #GP and general_protection()
kills the task which tries to execute this insn out-of-line.
Now that we have uprobe_xol_ops we can teach uprobes to emulate these
insns and solve the problem. This patch adds branch_xol_ops which has
a single branch_emulate_op() hook, so far it can only handle rel8/32

arch_uprobe_disable_step() correctly preserves X86_EFLAGS_TF and
returns to user-mode. But this means the application gets SIGTRAP
only after the next insn.
This means that UPROBE_CLEAR_TF logic is not really right. _enable
should only record the state of X86_EFLAGS_TF, and _disable should
check it separately from UPROBE_FIX_SETF.
Remove arch_uprobe_task->restore_flags, add ->saved_tf instead, and
change enable/disable accordingly. This assumes that the probed insn
was not trapped, see the next patch.
arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() logic has the same problem, change it to
check X86_EFLAGS_TF and send SIGTRAP as well. We will cleanup this
all after we fold enable/disable_step into pre/post_hol hooks.
Note: send_sig(SIGTRAP) is not actually right, we need send_sigtrap().
But this needs more changes, handle_swbp() does the same and this is
equally wrong.

The arch specific implementation behaves like user_enable_single_step()
except that it does not disable single stepping if it was already
enabled by ptrace. This allows the debugger to single step over an
uprobe. The state of block stepping is not restored. It makes only sense
together with TF and if that was enabled then the debugger is notified.
Note: this is still not correct. For example, TIF_SINGLESTEP check
is not right, the application itself can set X86_EFLAGS_TF. And otoh
we leak TIF_SINGLESTEP (set by enable) if the probed insn is "popf".
See the next patches, we need the changes in arch/x86/kernel/step.c

Uprobes uses exception notifiers to get to know if a thread hit
a breakpoint or a singlestep exception.
When a thread hits a uprobe or is singlestepping post a uprobe
hit, the uprobe exception notifier sets its TIF_UPROBE bit,
which will then be checked on its return to userspace path
(do_notify_resume() ->uprobe_notify_resume()), where the
consumers handlers are run (in task context) based on the
defined filters.
Uprobe hits are thread specific and hence we need to maintain
information about if a task hit a uprobe, what uprobe was hit,
the slot where the original instruction was copied for xol so
that it can be singlestepped with appropriate fixups.
In some cases, special care is needed for instructions that are
executed out of line (xol). These are architecture specific
artefacts, such as handling RIP relative instructions on x86_64.
Since the instruction at which the uprobe was inserted is
executed out of line, architecture specific fixups are added so
that the thread continues normal execution in the presence of a
uprobe.
Postpone the signals until we execute the probed insn.
post_xol() path does a recalc_sigpending() before return to
user-mode, this ensures the signal can't be lost.
Uprobes relies on DIE_DEBUG notification to notify if a
singlestep is complete.
Adds x86 specific uprobe exception notifiers and appropriate
hooks needed to determine a uprobe hit and subsequent post
processing.
Add requisite x86 fixups for xol for uprobes. Specific cases
needing fixups include relative jumps (x86_64), calls, etc.
Where possible, we check and skip singlestepping the
breakpointed instructions. For now we skip single byte as well
as few multibyte nop instructions. However this can be extended
to other instructions too.

signal, breakpoint, singlestep handling code.

Add uprobes support to the core kernel, with x86 support.
This commit adds the kernel facilities, the actual uprobes
user-space ABI and perf probe support comes in later commits.
General design:
Uprobes are maintained in an rb-tree indexed by inode and offset
(the offset here is from the start of the mapping). For a unique
(inode, offset) tuple, there can be at most one uprobe in the
rb-tree.
Since the (inode, offset) tuple identifies a unique uprobe, more
than one user may be interested in the same uprobe. This provides
the ability to connect multiple 'consumers' to the same uprobe.
Each consumer defines a handler and a filter (optional). The
'handler' is run every time the uprobe is hit, if it matches the
'filter' criteria.
The first consumer of a uprobe causes the breakpoint to be
inserted at the specified address and subsequent consumers are
appended to this list. On subsequent probes, the consumer gets
appended to the existing list of consumers. The breakpoint is
removed when the last consumer unregisters. For all other
unregisterations, the consumer is removed from the list of
consumers.
Given a inode, we get a list of the mms that have mapped the
inode. Do the actual registration if mm maps the page where a
probe needs to be inserted/removed.
We use a temporary list to walk through the vmas that map the
inode.
- The number of maps that map the inode, is not known before we
walk the rmap and keeps changing.
- extending vm_area_struct wasn't recommended, it's a
size-critical data structure.
- There can be more than one maps of the inode in the same mm.
We add callbacks to the mmap methods to keep an eye on text vmas
that are of interest to uprobes. When a vma of interest is mapped,
we insert the breakpoint at the right address.
Uprobe works by replacing the instruction at the address defined
by (inode, offset) with the arch specific breakpoint
instruction. We save a copy of the original instruction at the
uprobed address.
This is needed for:
a. executing the instruction out-of-line (xol).
b. instruction analysis for any subsequent fixups.
c. restoring the instruction back when the uprobe is unregistered.
We insert or delete a breakpoint instruction, and this
breakpoint instruction is assumed to be the smallest instruction
available on the platform. For fixed size instruction platforms
this is trivially true, for variable size instruction platforms
the breakpoint instruction is typically the smallest (often a
single byte).
Writing the instruction is done by COWing the page and changing
the instruction during the copy, this even though most platforms
allow atomic writes of the breakpoint instruction. This also
mirrors the behaviour of a ptrace() memory write to a PRIVATE
file map.
The core worker is derived from KSM's replace_page() logic.
In essence, similar to KSM:
a. allocate a new page and copy over contents of the page that
has the uprobed vaddr
b. modify the copy and insert the breakpoint at the required
address
c. switch the original page with the copy containing the
breakpoint
d. flush page tables.
replace_page() is being replicated here because of some minor
changes in the type of pages and also because Hugh Dickins had
plans to improve replace_page() for KSM specific work.
Instruction analysis on x86 is based on instruction decoder and
determines if an instruction can be probed and determines the
necessary fixups after singlestep. Instruction analysis is done
at probe insertion time so that we avoid having to repeat the
same analysis every time a probe is hit.
A lot of code here is due to the improvement/suggestions/inputs
from Peter Zijlstra.
Changelog:

- register and uprobe_unregister share code.
(v5):
- Modified del_consumer as per comments from Peter.
- Drop reference to inode before dropping reference to uprobe.
- Use i_size_read(inode) instead of inode->i_size.
