Subject: Re: [PATCH -tip v5 4/7] tracing: add kprobe-based event tracer

Hi,

2009/5/9 Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@...hat.com>:
> Add kprobes based event tracer on ftrace.
>
> This tracer is similar to the events tracer which is based on Tracepoint
> infrastructure. Instead of Tracepoint, this tracer is based on kprobes(kprobe
> and kretprobe). It probes anywhere where kprobes can probe(this means, all
> functions body except for __kprobes functions).
>
> Changes from v4:
>  - Change interface name from 'kprobe_probes' to 'kprobe_events'
>  - Skip comments (words after '#') from inputs of 'kprobe_events'.

What happens here if you have:

kprobe_trace_record() {
      probe_symbol() {
            ....                         probes_open() {
                                              cleanup_all_probes() {
                                                         free_trace_probe();
     return tp->symbol ? ....; //crack!


I wonder if you shouldn't use a per_cpu list of probes,
spinlocked/irqsaved  accessed
and also a kind of prevention against nmi.

Or better, you can use rcu, but we won't be able to probe rcu functions....
