Subject: [PATCH v4] tracing/uprobes: Support ftrace_event_file base multibuffer

[v3->v4]:
1. use "bool enabled = is_trace_uprobe_enabled(tu);", suggested by Oleg.
2. use list_add_tail_rcu instead of list_add_rcu, suggested by Masami.
3. fix the error handling in probe_event_enable, found by Srikar.

-------------------

Support multi-buffer on uprobe-based dynamic events by
using ftrace_event_file.

This patch is based kprobe-based dynamic events multibuffer
support work initially, commited by Masami(commit 41a7dd420c),
but revised as below:

Oleg changed the kprobe-based multibuffer design from
array-pointers of ftrace_event_file into simple list,
so this patch also change to the list degisn.

rcu_read_lock/unlock added into uprobe_trace_func/uretprobe_trace_func,
to synchronize with ftrace_event_file list add and delete.

Even though we allow multi-uprobes instances now,
but TP_FLAG_PROFILE/TP_FLAG_TRACE are still mutually exclusive
in probe_event_enable currently, this means we cannot allow
one user is using uprobe-tracer, and another user is using
perf-probe on same uprobe concurrently.
(Perhaps this will be fix in future, kprobe dont't have this
limitation now)

Is this the final patch?

Masami, can you give your reviewed by (Oleg and Srikar, feel free to add
your tags either).

Also, the origin was a two patch set. Is the second patch needed?

Thanks,

But look, imho probe_event_enable() looks a bit more confusing than
it needs.

The comment is confusing, I'd suggest to simply remove it.

Yes, we can't do uprobe_register() twice as we already discussed.
But it is not that we "can't", we simply do not need this if uprobe
was already created.

I won't insist, but _rcu is not needed in this case. Again, this looks
a bit confusing, as if we expect that some rcu reader can ever see this
entry. But this is not true and we are going to just kfree it without
synchronize_rcu().

This is correct, but again, this is not immediately obvious.

Why it is correct to correct to clear TP_FLAG_TRACE? Because we know
that "enabled" was false and thus we remove the single list entry.

So, perhaps,

if (enabled)
return 0;

ret = uprobe_register();
if (ret) {
...;
}

return ret;

will be a bit more clean.

And I am a bit worried this patch removes the is_trace_uprobe_enabled()
check from probe_event_enable()...

Yes I think it was never needed, afaics TRACE_REG_*_UNREGISTER can't
come without successfull _REGISTER. And the bogus uprobe_unregister()
is harmless in this particular case.

So I think this is fine, but perhaps the changelog should mention this
"offtopic" change.

Oleg.

Yes, _rcu is not needed in there.

I think it would be better to leave that checking in there now, we can remove

Here, since the ret is only changed by uprobe_register, this block
would better be included in the above block. :)
