[RFC PATCH v6 4/6] tracing/probe: Support user-space dereference

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Support user-space dereference syntax for probe event arguments
to dereference the data-structure or array in user-space.

The syntax is just adding 'u' before an offset value.

 +|-u<OFFSET>(<FETCHARG>)

e.g. +u8(%ax), +u0(+0(%si))

For example, if you probe do_sched_setscheduler(pid, policy,
param) and record param->sched_priority, you can add new
probe as below;

 p do_sched_setscheduler priority=+u0($arg3)

Note that kprobe event provides this and it doesn't change the
dereference method automatically because we do not know whether
the given address is in userspace or kernel on some arch.

So as same as "ustring", this is an option for user, who has to
carefully choose the dereference method.

 Changes in v4:
  - Fix a bug for parsing argument and simplify code.
  - Fix documents accroding to Steve's comment.
 Changes in v3:
  - Add a section for user memory access to the document.

+User Memory Access
+------------------
+Kprobe events supports user-space memory access. For that purpose, you can use
+either user-space dereference syntax or 'ustring' type.
+
+The user-space dereference syntax allows you to access a field of a data
+structure in user-space. This is done by adding the "u" prefix to the
+dereference syntax. For example, +u4(%si) means it will read memory from the
+address in the register %si offset by 4, and the mory is expected to be in
+user-space. You can use this for strings too, e.g. +u0(%si):string will read
+a string from the address in the register %si that is expected to be in user-
+space. 'ustring' is a shortcut way of performing the same task. That is,
++0(%si):ustring is equivalent to +u0(%si):string.
+
+Note that kprobe-event provides the user-memory access syntax but it doesn't
+use it transparently. This means if you use normal dereference or string type
+for user memory, it might fail, and always fails on some arch. So user has to
+check if the targe data is in kernel or in user space carefully.
