[PATCH] tracing/kprobe: Fix to support kretprobe events on unloaded modules

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Wed Jan 27 2021 - 10:43:18 EST


Fix kprobe_on_func_entry() returns error code instead of false so that
register_kretprobe() can return an appropriate error code.

append_trace_kprobe() expects the kprobe registration returns -ENOENT
when the target symbol is not found, and it checks whether the target
module is unloaded or not. If the target module doesn't exist, it
defers to probe the target symbol until the module is loaded.

However, since register_kretprobe() returns -EINVAL instead of -ENOENT
in that case, it always fail on putting the kretprobe event on unloaded
modules. e.g.

Kprobe event:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo p xfs:xfs_end_io >> kprobe_events
[ 16.515574] trace_kprobe: This probe might be able to register after target module is loaded. Continue.

Kretprobe event: (p -> r)
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo r xfs:xfs_end_io >> kprobe_events
sh: write error: Invalid argument
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat error_log
[ 41.122514] trace_kprobe: error: Failed to register probe event
Command: r xfs:xfs_end_io
^

To fix this bug, change kprobe_on_func_entry() to detect symbol lookup
failure and return -ENOENT in that case. Otherwise it returns -EINVAL
or 0 (succeeded, given address is on the entry).
