[PATCH 2/2] uprobes/core: Decrement uprobe count before the pages are unmapped

From: Srikar Dronamraju
Date: Wed Apr 11 2012 - 06:42:47 EST


From: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Uprobes has a hook(uprobe_munmap) in unmap path to keep the uprobes count
sane. In the exit path this hook gets called in unlink_file_vma. However by
the time unlink_file_vma is called, the pages would have been unmapped
(unmap_vmas) and the rss_stat counts accounted (zap_pte_range). If
the exiting process has probepoints, uprobe_munmap checks if the breakpoint
instruction was around before decrementing the probe count.

This results in a filebacked page being reread by uprobe_munmap and hence
it does not find the breakpoint.

This patch fixes this problem by moving the hook to unmap_single_vma.
Since unmap_single_vma may not unmap the complete vma, add start and end
parameters to uprobe_munmap.
This bug became apparent courtesy commit c3f0327f8e9d7.
