Subject: [PATCH 0/7] uprobes: single-step fixes
Date: Mon, 3 Sep 2012 17:25:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120903152525.GA9028@redhat.com> (raw)
Hello.
In short: uprobes should not use user_enable/disable_single_step().
This is unneeded and wrong.
Sebastian, I changed your patches a bit:
1/7:
- Change the subject and update the changelog. In particular,
s/utrace/uprobes/. I am wondering where this typo came from ;)
2/7:
- Rename UPROBE_TF_CHANGES to UPROBE_FIX_SETF to match other
*_FIX_* defines.
- Update the changelog.
- !!!REMOVE send_sig(SIGTRAP) from arch_uprobe_disable_step!!!
Didn't I ask you to make a separate patch for this change? ;)
This "else send_sig(SIGTRAP)" is very wrong. Just suppose an
application does asm ("pushf; popf") and the 2nd insn is probed.
And otoh this is not enough.
See 6/7.
please let me know if you disagree.
Oleg.
