[PATCH ftrace/core v4 0/4] ftrace, kprobes: Introduce IPMODIFY flag for ftrace_ops to detect conflicts

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hi,

Here is the 4th version of the series of patches which introduces
IPMODIFY flag for ftrace_ops to detect conflicts of ftrace users
who can modify regs->ip in their handler.
This version is basically an update of previous version, and
I've splitted a patch which adding IPMODIFY to kprobes from ftrace
IPMODIFY introducing patch.

Currently, only kprobes can change the regs->ip in the handler,
but recently kpatch is also want to change it. Moreover, since
the ftrace itself exported to modules, it might be considerable
senario.

Here we talked on github.
 https://github.com/dynup/kpatch/issues/47

To protect modified regs-ip from each other, this series
introduces FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY flag and ftrace now ensures
the flag can be set on each function entry location. If there
is someone who already reserve regs->ip on target function
entry, ftrace_set_filter_ip or register_ftrace_function will
return -EBUSY. Users must handle that.
The ftrace_ops with IPMODIFY flag requires at least one
entry for filter hash, and its notrace_hash must be empty,
because the IPMODIFY action is very address sensitve and
user must consider the ip address.

The 3rd patch adds a special reservation of IPMODIFY on the
jprobed address, since it is the only user who will change
the regs->ip. Other kprobes do not change it anymore. 

Here is the new testcase.
-------
#!/bin/bash

echo "IPMODIFY test"
ADDR=0x`grep do_fork /proc/kallsyms | cut -f 1 -d" "`

echo "Case1: kprobe->jprobe->ipmodify(fail)"
modprobe kprobe_example
modprobe jprobe_example
insmod ./ipmodify.ko target=$ADDR && echo "Case1: [FAIL]" || echo "Case1: [OK]"
rmmod kprobe_example jprobe_example

echo "Case2: jprobe->kprobe->ipmodify(fail)"
modprobe jprobe_example
modprobe kprobe_example
insmod ./ipmodify.ko target=$ADDR && echo "Case2: [FAIL]" || echo "Case2: [OK]"
rmmod kprobe_example jprobe_example

echo "Case3: jprobe->ipmodify(fail)"
modprobe jprobe_example
insmod ./ipmodify.ko target=$ADDR && echo "Case3: [FAIL]" || echo "Case3: [OK]"
rmmod jprobe_example

echo "Case4: ipmodify->jprobe(fail)"
insmod ./ipmodify.ko target=$ADDR
modprobe jprobe_example && echo "Case4: [FAIL]" || echo "Case4: [OK]"
rmmod ipmodify

echo "Case5: ipmodify->kprobe->jprobe(fail)"
insmod ./ipmodify.ko target=$ADDR
modprobe kprobe_example
modprobe jprobe_example && echo "Case5: [FAIL]" || echo "Case5: [OK]"
rmmod ipmodify kprobe_example

echo "Case6: ipmodify with targeting all functions(fail)"
insmod ./ipmodify.ko && echo "Case6: [FAIL]" || echo "Case6: [OK]"
rmmod ipmodify

echo "Case7: ipmodify with notrace filter (fail)"
insmod ./ipmodify.ko target=$ADDR noexp="do_fork" && echo "Case7: [FAIL]" || echo "Case7: [OK]"
rmmod ipmodify
