Commit Message

Anshuman Khandual June 4, 2019, 6:34 a.m. UTC
Similar notify_page_fault() definitions are being used by architectures
duplicating much of the same code. This attempts to unify them into a
single implementation, generalize it and then move it to a common place.
kprobes_built_in() can detect CONFIG_KPROBES, hence notify_page_fault()
need not be wrapped again within CONFIG_KPROBES. Trap number argument can
now contain upto an 'unsigned int' accommodating all possible platforms.

That thing should be called kprobe_page_fault() or something,
notify_page_fault() is a horribly crap name for this function.

Agreed. kprobe_page_fault() sounds good.

I would argue this should be in kprobes.h as a static nokprobe_inline.

You've changed several of the architectures from something like above,
where it disables preemption around the call into the below:

Which skips everything if we're preemptible. Is that an equivalent
change? If so can you please explain why in more detail.

Also why not have it return bool?

cheers

See the discussion in v1 of this patch, which you were cc'd on.

I agree the description here completely fails to mention why the change.
It should mention commit a980c0ef9f6d8c.

Did not get it. AFAICS it is the same from last version and does not cross
80 characters limit on that line.

We can do that. Though it will be a stand alone (not inside #ifdef) as it
already takes care of CONFIG_KPROBES via kprobes_built_in(). Will change
it and in which case the above declaration in mm.h would not be required.

Right.

> change? If so can you please explain why in more detail.

It is probably not an equivalent change. The following explanation is extracted from
RFC V1 discussions (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10968273/). Will explain the
rational for this behavior change in the commit message next time around.

----------------------------
a980c0ef9f6d ("x86/kprobes: Refactor kprobes_fault() like kprobe_exceptions_notify()")
b506a9d08bae ("x86: code clarification patch to Kprobes arch code")

In particular the later one (b506a9d08bae). It explains how the invoking context
in itself should be non-preemptible for the kprobes processing context irrespective
of whether kprobe_running() or perhaps smp_processor_id() is safe or not. Hence it
does not make much sense to continue when original invoking context is preemptible.
Instead just bail out earlier. This seems to be making more sense than preempt
disable-enable pair. If there are no concerns about this change from other platforms,
I will change the preemption behavior in proposed generic function next time around.
----------------------------

Do you see any concern changing preempt behavior in the x86 way ?

> 
> Also why not have it return bool?

Just that all architectures (except powerpc) had 'int' as return type. But we can
change that to 'bool'.

I will update the commit message to include an explanation for this new
preempt behavior in the generic definition.
