Hi,

This series is for fixing some bugs in Steve's ftrace/kprobes branch.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace.git

Which is based on my fetcharg improvement series.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/25/601

This includes following fixes.

- Fix copy_from_user() misusing which Dan was reported.
- Fix to reject incorrect probeevent on loaded kernel module.
- Fix to update symbol-based argument on module.
  This also checks the symbol-based argument is correct or not when
  target module is loaded. If it is not correct, the event is kept
  unavailable.

Thank you,

---

Fix probe_mem_read() to return -EFAULT if copy_from_user()
failed. The copy_from_user() returns remaining bytes
when it failed, but probe_mem_read() caller expects it
returns error code like as probe_kernel_read().

Current kprobe event doesn't checks correctly whether the
given event is on unloaded module or not. It just checks
the event has ":" in the name.

That is not enough because if we define a probe on non-exist
symbol on loaded module, it allows to define that (with
warning message)

To ensure it correctly, this searches the module name on
loaded module list and only if there is not, it allows to
define it. (this event will be available when the target
module is loaded)

Allow kprobe-events to record module symbols.

Since data symbols in a non-loaded module doesn't exist, it fails to
define such symbol as an argument of kprobe-event. But if the kprobe
event is defined on that module, we can defer to resolve the symbol
address.

Note that if given symbol is not found, the event is kept unavailable.
User can enable it but the event is not recorded.

Hi Masami,

The first two patches look like they should be applied now and marked
for stable, as they are fixes. This patch looks like an added feature,
and will go into the next merge window.

Is that what you think too?

Thanks!
