Subject: [PATCH 1/3] perf/x86: Add perf text poke event
Record changes to kernel text (i.e. self-modifying code) in order to
support tracers like Intel PT decoding through jump labels.
A copy of the running kernel code is needed as a reference point
(e.g. from /proc/kcore). The text poke event records the old bytes
and the new bytes so that the event can be processed forwards or backwards.
In the case of Intel PT tracing, the executable code must be walked to
reconstruct the control flow. For x86 a jump label text poke begins:
- write INT3 byte
- IPI-SYNC
- write instruction tail
At this point the actual control flow will be through the INT3 and handler
and not hit the old or new instruction. Intel PT outputs FUP/TIP packets
for the INT3, so the flow can still be decoded. Subsequently:
- emit RECORD_TEXT_POKE with the new instruction
- IPI-SYNC
- write first byte
- IPI-SYNC
So before the text poke event timestamp, the decoder will see either the
old instruction flow or FUP/TIP of INT3. After the text poke event
timestamp, the decoder will see either the new instruction flow or FUP/TIP
of INT3. Thus decoders can use the timestamp as the point at which to
modify the executable code.
