[PATCH -tip v9 00/14] kprobes: Fix stacktrace with kretprobes on x86

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Sun Jul 11 2021 - 09:34:49 EST


Hello,

This is the 9th version of the series to fix the stacktrace with kretprobe on x86.

The previous version is;

https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/162399992186.506599.8457763707951687195.stgit@devnote2/

This version is mostly cleaning up changelogs, comments, and coding styles
accoding to Ingo's comment. This series also depends on my kprobe cleanup
series (*1) and Josh's objtool update series (*2)(*3)

(*1) https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/162598881438.1222130.11530594038964049135.stgit@devnote2/
(*2) https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20210710192433.x5cgjsq2ksvaqnss@treble/
(*3) https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20210710192514.ghvksi3ozhez4lvb@treble/

All over this series, I fixed my typo on Andrii's name (I'm sorry).


With this series, unwinder can unwind stack correctly from ftrace as below;

# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo > trace
# echo 1 > options/sym-offset
# echo r vfs_read >> kprobe_events
# echo r full_proxy_read >> kprobe_events
# echo traceoff:1 > events/kprobes/r_vfs_read_0/trigger
# echo stacktrace:1 > events/kprobes/r_full_proxy_read_0/trigger
# echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list
ffffffff8133b740 r full_proxy_read+0x0 [FTRACE]
ffffffff812560b0 r vfs_read+0x0 [FTRACE]
# echo 0 > events/kprobes/enable
# cat trace
# tracer: nop
#
# entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 3/3 #P:8
#

<...>-134 [007] ...1 16.185877: r_full_proxy_read_0: (vfs_read+0x98/0x180 <- full_proxy_read)
<...>-134 [007] ...1 16.185901: <stack trace>
=> kretprobe_trace_func+0x209/0x300
=> kretprobe_dispatcher+0x4a/0x70
=> __kretprobe_trampoline_handler+0xd4/0x170
=> trampoline_handler+0x43/0x60
=> kretprobe_trampoline+0x2a/0x50
=> vfs_read+0x98/0x180
=> ksys_read+0x5f/0xe0
=> do_syscall_64+0x37/0x90
=> entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae
<...>-134 [007] ...1 16.185902: r_vfs_read_0: (ksys_read+0x5f/0xe0 <- vfs_read)

This shows the double return probes (vfs_read() and full_proxy_read()) on the stack
correctly unwinded. (vfs_read() returns to 'ksys_read+0x5f' and full_proxy_read()
returns to 'vfs_read+0x98')

This also changes the kretprobe behavisor a bit, now the instraction pointer in
the 'pt_regs' passed to kretprobe user handler is correctly set the real return
address. So user handlers can get it via instruction_pointer() API, and can use
stack_trace_save_regs().
