[PATCH for-next v2] tracing/kprobes: Add symbol counting check when module loads

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google)
Date: Mon Apr 15 2024 - 05:40:31 EST


From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

Check the number of probe target symbols in the target module when
the module is loaded. If the probe is not on the unique name symbols
in the module, it will be rejected at that point.

Note that the symbol which has a unique name in the target module,
it will be accepted even if there are same-name symbols in the
kernel or other modules,

Updated from last October post, which was dropped by test failure:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/169854904604.132316.12500381416261460174.stgit@devnote2/
Changes in v2:
- Fix to skip checking uniqueness if the target module is not loaded.
- Fix register_module_trace_kprobe() to pass correct symbol name.
- Fix to call __register_trace_kprobe() from module callback.
