A separate patch to simplify the review, and for the documentation. The patch adds another "int *is_swbp" argument to find_active_uprobe(), so far its only caller doesn't use this info. With this patch find_active_uprobe() additionally does: - if find_vma() + ->vm_start check fails, *is_swbp = -EFAULT - otherwise, if valid_vma() + find_uprobe() fails, it holds the result of is_swbp_at_addr(), can be negative too. The latter is only possible if we raced with another thread which did munmap/etc after we hit this bp. IOW. If find_active_uprobe(&is_swbp) returns NULL, the caller can look at is_swbp to figure out whether the current insn is bp or not, or detect the race with another thread if it is negative. Note: I think that performance-wise this change is fine. This adds is_swbp_at_addr(), but only if we raced with uprobe_unregister() or if we hit the "normal" int3 but this mm has uprobes as well. And even in this case the slow read_opcode() path is very unlikely, this insn recently triggered do_int3(), __copy_from_user_inatomic() shouldn't fail in the likely case.
