[PATCHv3 01/12] uprobes: split THPs before trying replace them

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Sun Jan 29 2017 - 12:40:01 EST


For THPs page_check_address() always fails. It leads to endless loop in
uprobe_write_opcode().

Testcase with huge-tmpfs (not sure if it's possible to trigger this
uprobe codepath for anon memory):

mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
mount -t tmpfs -o huge=always none /mnt
gcc -Wall -O2 -o /mnt/test -x c - <<EOF
int main(void)
{
return 0;
}
/* Padding to map the code segment with huge pmd */
asm (".zero 2097152");
EOF
echo 'p /mnt/test:0' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/uprobes/enable
/mnt/test

Let's split THPs before trying to replace.
