Subject: [PATCHSET 00/17] tracing/uprobes: Add support for more fetch methods (v8)

Hello,

This patchset implements memory (address), stack[N], deference,
bitfield, retval (it needs uretprobe tho) and file_offset 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.  The symbol and file_offset fetch
methods are only available to kprobes and uprobes, respectively.
Other fetch methods are shared.

For the file_offset method, it translates the offset argument to a
virtual address in a process.  To do that, it calculates base mapping
address using probe address (utask->vaddr) and probe offset
(tu->offset) and then adds the argument offset.  Those info are
carried via utask and a new fetch parameter.

The syntax is '@...fset' where offset are relative address to the base
address.  For shared libraries, it'd be simply the st_value of symbol
in ELF format.  But for executable, it needs to subtract base load
address (e.g. 0x40000 for x86_64) from the symbol value.  Please see
previous discussion for an example [2] - Note that the syntax changed
to '@+' from plain '@'.  The plain '@...r' syntax is used for
accessing absolute memory address if you already know the exact address.

Many thanks to Oleg who provides valuable feedbacks and suggestions.

The patch 1-2 are bug fixes and can be applied independently.
The patch 16 is a preparation for patch 17 which implements the
file_offset fetch method.


 * v8 changes:
  - rename tk, tu and tp more consistently (Srikar)
  - change prefix format specifier: %#x -> 0x%x (Masami)
  - convert file_offset_param to uprobe_dispatch_data (Oleg)
  - add more Ack's from Srikar and Masami

 * v7 changes:
  - restructure patches not to break build with !CONFIG_[KU]PROBE_EVENT
  - print 0x prefix for unsigned types
  - add @+file_offset fetch method (Oleg)
  - get rid of uprobe_buffer_mutex (Oleg)
  - pass 'is_return' to uprobes argument parser

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=@...008a8:s32 \
  > str=@...2008ac:string bit=@...2008bc:b10@...2 argc=%di:s32 local=-0x8(%bp)'
  Added new event:
    probe_foo:foo      (on 0x4c3 with glob=@...008a8:s32 str=@...2008ac:string 
                           bit=@...2008bc:b10@...2 argc=%di:s32 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=0x5 argc=1 local=0x1234


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-v8'
branch in my tree:

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


Any comments are welcome, thanks.
