[GIT PULL] tracing/uprobes: Various fixes

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu Jul 03 2014 - 11:57:47 EST



Linus,

Oleg Nesterov found and fixed a bug in the perf/ftrace/uprobes code where
running:

# perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 syscall
# echo 1 >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/probe_libc/enable
# perf record -e probe_libc:syscall whatever

kills the uprobe. Along the way he found some other minor bugs and clean ups
that he fixed up making it a total of 4 patches.

Doing unrelated work, I found that the reading of the ftrace trace
file disables all function tracer callbacks. This was fine when ftrace
was the only user, but now that it's used by perf and kprobes, this
is a bug where reading trace can disable kprobes and perf. A very unexpected
side effect and should be fixed.

Please pull the latest trace-fixes-v3.16-rc3 tree, which can be found at:

Oleg Nesterov (4):
tracing/uprobes: Revert "Support mix of ftrace and perf"
uprobes: Change unregister/apply to WARN() if uprobe/consumer is gone
tracing/uprobes: Kill the bogus UPROBE_HANDLER_REMOVE code in uprobe_dispatcher()
tracing/uprobes: Fix the usage of uprobe_buffer_enable() in probe_event_enable()

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) (1):
tracing: Remove ftrace_stop/start() from reading the trace file
