[PATCH v1 6/8] tracing/ftrace: Add might_fault check to syscall probes
Posted by Mathieu Desnoyers 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Add a might_fault() check to validate that the ftrace sys_enter/sys_exit
probe callbacks are indeed called from a context where page faults can
be handled.

I don't think we want "might_fault()" here, as this is called for every
tracepoint that is created by the TRACE_EVENT() macro. That means, there's
going to be plenty of locations this gets called at that do not allow faults.

Here is the full context where this line applies:

#undef DECLARE_EVENT_SYSCALL_CLASS
#define DECLARE_EVENT_SYSCALL_CLASS(call, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print) \
__DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(call, PARAMS(proto), PARAMS(args), PARAMS(tstruct), \
                       PARAMS(assign), PARAMS(print))                    \
static notrace void                                                     \
trace_event_raw_event_##call(void *__data, proto)                       \
{                                                                       \
         might_fault();                                                  \
         guard(preempt_notrace)();                                       \
         do_trace_event_raw_event_##call(__data, args);                  \
}

Not an issue, since it's only for syscall tracepoints.

Thanks,

Mathieu
