[PATCH 4/7] trace_uprobe/sdt: Prevent multiple reference counter for same uprobe

From: Ravi Bangoria
Date: Wed Jun 06 2018 - 04:35:23 EST


Rightnow, there can be multiple trace_uprobes with same inode+offset
but internally they all points to same uprobe. To allow user to
specify multiple ref_ctr_offset for single inode+offset combo, core
uprobe logic has to be changed. It's also unlikely to have more than
one reference counter for single uprobe. Restrict it.

Ex,
# echo "p:sdt_tick/loop2 /home/ravi/tick:0x6e4(0x10036) > uprobe_events
# echo "p:sdt_tick/loop2_1 /home/ravi/tick:0x6e4(0x10030) >> uprobe_events
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

# dmesg | tail -1
trace_kprobe: Reference counter offset mismatch.

One exception to this is when user is trying to replace the old entry
with the new one. We allow this if the new entry does not conflict with
any other existing entry.
