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

  From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

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,

I am wondering about symbols which are only part of one specific module.
I wrote a comment about it below, please let me know what you think about it.

I may be missing something here or reviewing too quickly.
Wouldn't this function return count to be 0 if func_name is only part of the 
module named mod?
Indeed, if the function is not in kernel symbol, 
kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() will not loop.
And, by giving mod to module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol(), the corresponding 
module will be skipped, so count_mob_symbols() would not be called.
Hence, we would have 0 as count, which would lead to ENOENT later.

No, please read below.

Would you mean the case func_name is on the specific module?
If 'mod' is specified, module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol() only loops on
symbols in the module names 'mod'.

int module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol(const char *modname,
                                   int (*fn)(void *, const char *, unsigned long),
                                   void *data)
{
        struct module *mod;
        unsigned int i;
        int ret = 0;

        mutex_lock(&module_mutex);
        list_for_each_entry(mod, &modules, list) {
                struct mod_kallsyms *kallsyms;

                if (mod->state == MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED)
                        continue;

                if (modname && strcmp(modname, mod->name))
                        continue;
...

So with above change, 'if mod is not specified, search the symbols in kernel 
and all modules. If mod is sepecified, search the symbol on the specific
module'.

Thus, "if func_name is only part of the module named mod", the
module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol() will count the 'func_name' in 'mod' module
correctly.

Thank you,


Thank you,

Sorry, I looked to quickly and forgot about the return value of strcmp()...

From the code, everything seems OK!
If I have some time, I will test it and potentially come back with a "Tested-
by" tag but without any warranty.

No problem, strcmp() always traps us :)

Sorry for the delay in my review, I just remember I should review your patch.
I tested it on top of latest master and it return EINVAL instead of 
EADDRNOTAVAIL:
# Behavior without the patch:
root@vm-amd64:~# uname -r
6.6.0-15859-g89cdf9d55601
root@vm-amd64:~# echo 'p:myprobe name_show' > /sys/kernel/tracing/
kprobe_events
-bash: echo: write error: Cannot assign requested address
# With the patch:
root@vm-amd64:~# uname -r
6.6.0-15860-gd6a7e0f39ec5
root@vm-amd64:~# echo 'p:myprobe name_show' > /sys/kernel/tracing/
kprobe_events
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

I did not GDB to track down from where it comes (it is planned nonetheless), 
but is this behavior wanted?
