[PATCH v3 5/8] tracing: Allow system call tracepoints to handle page faults
Posted by Mathieu Desnoyers 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Use Tasks Trace RCU to protect iteration of system call enter/exit
tracepoint probes to allow those probes to handle page faults.

In preparation for this change, all tracers registering to system call
enter/exit tracepoints should expect those to be called with preemption
enabled.

This allows tracers to fault-in userspace system call arguments such as
path strings within their probe callbacks.

Should add a comment somewhere stating that the syscall version is to allow faults.

I plan to add this comment on top of __TO_TRACE:

+ *
+ * With @syscall=0, the tracepoint callback array dereference is
+ * protected by disabling preemption.
+ * With @syscall=1, the tracepoint callback array dereference is
+ * protected by Tasks Trace RCU, which allows probes to handle page
+ * faults.

Thanks,

Mathieu
