[PATCH v2 0/6] tracing/eprobes: Fixes for unexpected arguments

[PATCH v2 0/6] tracing/eprobes: Fixes for unexpected arguments

[Steven Rostedt]

While using eprobes, I decided to entertain the thougth of what would
happen if I tried to get the instruction pointer "%rip", knowing full
well that eprobes do not have access to pt_regs. Well, I found out, and
it led me down a rabbit hole of bugs.

This series fixes those bugs, by not allowing register access for eprobes,
and also filling the holes of @symbol and @immediate argument.

Changes since v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220820014035.531145719@goodmis.org/
  - Fixed parenthesis warning

  - Fixed comment about comm arguments

  - Made kprobes and eprobes process "$COMM" as well as "$comm"

  - Made filters consistent with histograms with "common_cpu"

      tracing/eprobes: Do not allow eprobes to use $stack, or % for regs
      tracing/eprobes: Do not hardcode $comm as a string

[PATCH v2 1/6] tracing/eprobes: Do not allow eprobes to use $stack, or % for regs

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

While playing with event probes (eprobes), I tried to see what would
happen if I attempted to retrieve the instruction pointer (%rip) knowing
that event probes do not use pt_regs. The result was:

Obviously this is not the desired result.

Move the testing for TPARG_FL_TPOINT which is only used for event probes
to the top of the "$" variable check, as all the other variables are not
used for event probes. Also add a check in the register parsing "%" to
fail if an event probe is used.

[PATCH v2 2/6] tracing/eprobes: Do not hardcode $comm as a string

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The variable $comm is hard coded as a string, which is true for both
kprobes and uprobes, but for event probes (eprobes) it is a field name. In
most cases the "comm" field would be a string, but there's no guarantee of
that fact.

Do not assume that comm is a string. Not to mention, it currently forces
comm fields to fault, as string processing for event probes is currently
broken.

[PATCH v2 3/6] tracing/eprobes: Fix reading of string fields

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Currently when an event probe (eprobe) hooks to a string field, it does
not display it as a string, but instead as a number. This makes the field
rather useless. Handle the different kinds of strings, dynamic, static,
relational/dynamic etc.

Now when a string field is used, the ":string" type can be used to display
it:

  echo "e:sw sched/sched_switch comm=$next_comm:string" > dynamic_events

[PATCH v2 4/6] tracing/eprobes: Have event probes be consistent with kprobes and uprobes

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Currently, if a symbol "@" is attempted to be used with an event probe
(eprobes), it will cause a NULL pointer dereference crash.

Both kprobes and uprobes can reference data other than the main registers.
Such as immediate address, symbols and the current task name. Have eprobes
do the same thing.

For "comm", if "comm" is used and the event being attached to does not
have the "comm" field, then make it the "$comm" that kprobes has. This is
consistent to the way histograms and filters work.

[PATCH v2 5/6] tracing/probes: Have kprobes and uprobes use $COMM too

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Both $comm and $COMM can be used to get current->comm in eprobes and the
filtering and histogram logic. Make kprobes and uprobes consistent in this
regard and allow both $comm and $COMM as well. Currently kprobes and
uprobes only handle $comm, which is inconsistent with the other utilities,
and can be confusing to users.

(Note that kprobes/uprobes doesn't need to record cpu/pid, because those
 are a part of common field and can be accessed from filter or histogram.
 Only comm must be recorded as string.)
