[PATCH ftrace/core v6 4/5] kprobes: Set IPMODIFY flag only if the probe can change regs->ip

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Thu Nov 20 2014 - 21:29:53 EST


Set FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY flag only for the probes which can change
regs->ip, which has kprobe->break_handler.
Currently we can not put jprobe and another ftrace handler which
changes regs->ip on the same function because all kprobes have
FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY flag. This removes FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY
flag from kprobes and only when the user uses jprobe (or the
kprobe.break_handler != NULL) we add additinal ftrace_ops with
FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY on target function.

Note about the implementation: This uses a dummy ftrace_ops to
reserve IPMODIFY flag on the given ftrace address, for the case
that we have a enabled kprobe on a function entry and a jprobe
is added on the same point. In that case, we already have a
ftrace_ops without IPMODIFY flag on the entry, and we have to
add another ftrace_ops with IPMODIFY on the same address.
If we put a same handler on both ftrace_ops, the handler can
be called twice on that entry until the first one is removed.
This means that the kprobe and the jprobe are called twice too,
and that will not what kprobes expected.
Thus I added a dummy ftrace_ops just for reserving IPMODIFY flag.

Changes in v4:
- Increment refcounter after succeeded to register ftrace_ops.

Changes in v3:
- Update __ftrace_add/remove_filter_ip() according to
Namhyng's comments (thanks!)
- Split out regs->ip recovering code from this patch.
