[PATCH 2/2] uprobes: Reintroduce uprobe_consumer->filter()

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Fri Dec 28 2012 - 13:13:21 EST


Finally add uprobe_consumer->filter() and change consumer_filter()
to actually call this method.

Note that ->filter() accepts mm_struct, not task_struct. Because:

1. We do not have for_each_mm_user(mm, task).

2. Even if we implement for_each_mm_user(), ->filter() can
use it itself.

3. It is not clear who will actually need this interface to
do the "nontrivial" filtering.

Another argument is "enum uprobe_filter_ctx", consumer->filter() can
use it to figure out why/where it was called. For example, perhaps
we can add UPROBE_FILTER_PRE_REGISTER used by build_map_info() to
quickly "nack" the unwanted mm's. In this case consumer should know
that it is called under ->i_mmap_mutex.

See the previous discussion at http://marc.info/?t=135214229700002
Perhaps we should pass more arguments, vma/vaddr?

Note: this patch obviously can't help to filter out the child created
by fork(), this will be addressed later.
