5cdb76d6f0 uprobes/x86: Rename arch_uprobe->def to ->defparam, minor comment updates
Purely cosmetic, no changes in .o,

1. As Jim pointed out arch_uprobe->def looks ambiguous, rename it to
   ->defparam.

2. Add the comment into default_post_xol_op() to explain "regs->sp +=".

3. Remove the stale part of the comment in arch_uprobe_analyze_insn().

50204c6f6d uprobes/x86: Simplify rip-relative handling
It is possible to replace rip-relative addressing mode with addressing
mode of the same length: (reg+disp32). This eliminates the need to fix
up immediate and correct for changing instruction length.

And we can kill arch_uprobe->def.riprel_target.

1dc76e6eac uprobes/x86: Kill adjust_ret_addr(), simplify UPROBE_FIX_CALL logic
The only insn which could have both UPROBE_FIX_IP and UPROBE_FIX_CALL
was 0xe8 "call relative", and now it is handled by branch_xol_ops.

So we can change default_post_xol_op(UPROBE_FIX_CALL) to simply push
the address of next insn == utask->vaddr + insn.length, just we need
to record insn.length into the new auprobe->def.ilen member.

Note: if/when we teach branch_xol_ops to support jcxz/loopz we can
remove the "correction" logic, UPROBE_FIX_IP can use the same address.

8e89c0be17 uprobes/x86: Emulate relative call's
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.

7ba6db2d68 uprobes/x86: Emulate unconditional relative jmp's
Currently we always execute all insns out-of-line, including relative
jmp's and call's. This assumes that even if regs->ip points to nowhere
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
relative jmp's.

8a8de66c4f uprobes: Introduce arch_uprobe->ixol
Currently xol_get_insn_slot() assumes that we should simply copy
arch_uprobe->insn[] which is (ignoring arch_uprobe_analyze_insn)
just the copy of the original insn.

This is not true for arm which needs to create another insn to
execute it out-of-line.

So this patch simply adds the new member, ->ixol into the union.
This doesn't make any difference for x86 and powerpc, but arm
can divorce insn/ixol and initialize the correct xol insn in
arch_uprobe_analyze_insn().

3a4664aa83 uprobes/x86: Xol should send SIGTRAP if X86_EFLAGS_TF was set
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.

bdc1e47217 uprobes/x86: Implement x86 specific arch_uprobe_*_step
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

0326f5a94d uprobes/core: Handle breakpoint and singlestep exceptions
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.

Credits to Oleg Nesterov for suggestions/patches related to
signal, breakpoint, singlestep handling code.

2b14449835 uprobes, mm, x86: Add the ability to install and remove uprobes breakpoints
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:

(v10):
 - Add code to clear REX.B prefix as suggested by Denys Vlasenko
   and Masami Hiramatsu.

(v9):
 - Use insn_offset_modrm as suggested by Masami Hiramatsu.

(v7):

 Handle comments from Peter Zijlstra:

 - Dont take reference to inode. (expect inode to uprobe_register to be sane).
 - Use PTR_ERR to set the return value.
 - No need to take reference to inode.
 - use PTR_ERR to return error value.
 - 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.
 - Ensure uprobe->consumers is NULL, before __uprobe_unregister() is called.
 - Includes errno.h as recommended by Stephen Rothwell to fix a build issue
   on sparc defconfig
 - Remove restrictions while unregistering.
 - Earlier code leaked inode references under some conditions while
   registering/unregistering.
 - Continue the vma-rmap walk even if the intermediate vma doesnt
   meet the requirements.
 - Validate the vma found by find_vma before inserting/removing the
   breakpoint
 - Call del_consumer under mutex_lock.
 - Use hash locks.
 - Handle mremap.
 - Introduce find_least_offset_node() instead of close match logic in
   find_uprobe
 - Uprobes no more depends on MM_OWNER; No reference to task_structs
   while inserting/removing a probe.
 - Uses read_mapping_page instead of grab_cache_page so that the pages
   have valid content.
 - pass NULL to get_user_pages for the task parameter.
 - call SetPageUptodate on the new page allocated in write_opcode.
 - fix leaking a reference to the new page under certain conditions.
 - Include Instruction Decoder if Uprobes gets defined.
 - Remove const attributes for instruction prefix arrays.
 - Uses mm_context to know if the application is 32 bit.
