Subject: [PATCHSET 00/13] tracing/uprobes: Add support for more fetch methods (v3)

Hello,

This patchset implements memory (address), stack[N], deference,
bitfield and retval (it needs uretprobe tho) fetch methods for
uprobes.  It's based on the previous work [1] done by Hyeoncheol Lee.

Now kprobes and uprobes have their own fetch_type_tables and, in turn,
memory and stack access methods.  Other fetch methods are shared.

For the dereference method, I added a new argument to fetch functions.
It's because for uprobes it needs to know whether the given address is
a file offset or a virtual address in an user process.  For instance,
in case of fetching from a memory directly (like @offset) it should
convert the address (offset) to a virtual address of the process, but
if it's a dereferencing, the given address already has the virtual
address.

To determine this in a fetch function, I passed a pointer to
trace_uprobe for direct fetch, and passed NULL for dereference.

Changes in v3)
 * add acks from Masami
 * rearrange patches to fixes can be applied earlier
 * rename to XXX_trace_kprobe consistently
 * move hot path functions into trace_probe.h
 * move symbol fetch method into trace_kprobe.c

A simple example:

  # cat foo.c
  int glob = -1;
  char str[] = "hello uprobe.";

  struct foo {
    unsigned int unused: 2;
    unsigned int foo: 20;
    unsigned int bar: 10;
  } foo = {
    .foo = 5,
  };

  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
    long local = 0x1234;

    return 127;
  }

  # gcc -o foo -g foo.c

  # objdump -d foo | grep -A9 -F '<main>'
  00000000004004b0 <main>:
    4004b0:	55                   	push   %rbp
    4004b1:	48 89 e5             	mov    %rsp,%rbp
    4004b4:	89 7d ec             	mov    %edi,-0x14(%rbp)
    4004b7:	48 89 75 e0          	mov    %rsi,-0x20(%rbp)
    4004bb:	48 c7 45 f8 34 12 00 	movq   $0x1234,-0x8(%rbp)
    4004c2:	00 
    4004c3:	b8 7f 00 00 00       	mov    $0x7f,%eax
    4004c8:	5d                   	pop    %rbp
    4004c9:	c3                   	retq   

  # nm foo | grep -e glob$ -e str -e foo
  00000000006008bc D foo
  00000000006008a8 D glob
  00000000006008ac D str

  # perf probe -x /home/namhyung/tmp/foo -a 'foo=main+0x13 glob=@...a8:s32 \
  > str=@...ac:string bit=@...bc:b10@...2 argc=%di local=-0x8(%bp)'
  Added new event:
    probe_foo:foo      (on 0x4c3 with glob=@...a8:s32 str=@...ac:string 
                                 bit=@...bc:b10@...2 argc=%di local=-0x8(%bp))

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

          perf record -e probe_foo:foo -aR sleep 1

  # perf record -e probe_foo:foo ./foo
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (~33 samples) ]

  # perf script | grep -v ^#
               foo  2008 [002  2199.867154: probe_foo:foo (4004c3)
                   glob=-1 str="hello uprobe." bit=5 argc=1 local=1234


This patchset is based on the current for-next branch of the Steven
Rostedt's linux-trace tree.  I also put this on my 'uprobe/fetch-v3'
branch in my tree:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git


Any comments are welcome, thanks.
