[PATCH] kprobes: function-return probes This patch adds function-return probes to kprobes for the i386 architecture. This enables you to establish a handler to be run when a function returns. 1. API Two new functions are added to kprobes: int register_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp); void unregister_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp); 2. Registration and unregistration 2.1 Register To register a function-return probe, the user populates the following fields in a kretprobe object and calls register_kretprobe() with the kretprobe address as an argument: kp.addr - the function's address handler - this function is run after the ret instruction executes, but before control returns to the return address in the caller. maxactive - The maximum number of instances of the probed function that can be active concurrently. For example, if the function is non- recursive and is called with a spinlock or mutex held, maxactive = 1 should be enough. If the function is non-recursive and can never relinquish the CPU (e.g., via a semaphore or preemption), NR_CPUS should be enough. maxactive is used to determine how many kretprobe_instance objects to allocate for this particular probed function. If maxactive <= 0, it is set to a default value (if CONFIG_PREEMPT maxactive=max(10, 2 * NR_CPUS) else maxactive=NR_CPUS) For example: struct kretprobe rp; rp.kp.addr = /* entrypoint address */ rp.handler = /*return probe handler */ rp.maxactive = /* e.g., 1 or NR_CPUS or 0, see the above explanation */ register_kretprobe(&rp); The following field may also be of interest: nmissed - Initialized to zero when the function-return probe is registered, and incremented every time the probed function is entered but there is no kretprobe_instance object available for establishing the function-return probe (i.e., because maxactive was set too low). 2.2 Unregister To unregiter a function-return probe, the user calls unregister_kretprobe() with the same kretprobe object as registered previously. If a probed function is running when the return probe is unregistered, the function will return as expected, but the handler won't be run. 3. Limitations 3.1 This patch supports only the i386 architecture, but patches for x86_64 and ppc64 are anticipated soon. 3.2 Return probes operates by replacing the return address in the stack (or in a known register, such as the lr register for ppc). This may cause __builtin_return_address(0), when invoked from the return-probed function, to return the address of the return-probes trampoline. 3.3 This implementation uses the "Multiprobes at an address" feature in 2.6.12-rc3-mm3. 3.4 Due to a limitation in multi-probes, you cannot currently establish a return probe and a jprobe on the same function. A patch to remove this limitation is being tested. This feature is required by SystemTap (http://sourceware.org/systemtap), and reflects ideas contributed by several SystemTap developers, including Will Cohen and Ananth Mavinakayanahalli.

[PATCH] Move kprobe [dis]arming into arch specific code The architecture independent code of the current kprobes implementation is arming and disarming kprobes at registration time. The problem is that the code is assuming that arming and disarming is a just done by a simple write of some magic value to an address. This is problematic for ia64 where our instructions look more like structures, and we can not insert break points by just doing something like: *p->addr = BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION; The following patch to 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 adds two new architecture dependent functions: * void arch_arm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p) * void arch_disarm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p) and then adds the new functions for each of the architectures that already implement kprobes (spar64/ppc64/i386/x86_64). I thought arch_[dis]arm_kprobe was the most descriptive of what was really happening, but each of the architectures already had a disarm_kprobe() function that was really a "disarm and do some other clean-up items as needed when you stumble across a recursive kprobe." So... I took the liberty of changing the code that was calling disarm_kprobe() to call arch_disarm_kprobe(), and then do the cleanup in the block of code dealing with the recursive kprobe case. So far this patch as been tested on i386, x86_64, and ppc64, but still needs to be tested in sparc64.

[PATCH] x86: kprobes-booster Current kprobe copies the original instruction at the probe point and replaces it with a breakpoint instruction (int3). When the kernel hits the probe point, kprobe handler is invoked. And the copied instruction is single-step executed on the copied buffer (not on the original address) by kprobe. After that, the kprobe checks registers and modify it (if need) as if the instructions was executed on the original address. My proposal is based on the fact there are many instructions which do NOT require the register modification after the single-step execution. When the copied instruction is a kind of them, kprobe just jumps back to the next instruction after single-step execution. If so, why don't we execute those instructions directly? With kprobe-booster patch, kprobes will execute a copied instruction directly and (if need) jump back to original code. This direct execution is executed when the kprobe don't have both post_handler and break_handler, and the copied instruction can be executed directly. I sorted instructions which can be executed directly or not; - Call instructions are NG(can not be executed directly). We should correct the return address pushed into top of stack. - Indirect instructions except for absolute indirect-jumps are NG. Those instructions changes EIP randomly. We should check EIP and correct it. - Instructions that change EIP beyond the range of the instruction buffer are NG. - Instructions that change EIP to tail 5 bytes of the instruction buffer (it is the size of a jump instruction). We must write a jump instruction which backs to original kernel code in the instruction buffer. - Break point instruction is NG. We should not touch EIP and pass to other handlers. - Absolute direct/indirect jumps are OK.- Conditional Jumps are NG. - Halt and software-interruptions are NG. Because it will stay on the instruction buffer of kprobes. - Prefixes are NG. - Unknown/reserved opcode is NG. - Other 1 byte instructions are OK. But those instructions need a jump back code. - 2 bytes instructions are mapped sparsely. So, in this release, this patch don't boost those instructions. >From Intel's IA-32 opcode map described in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual Vol.2 B, I determined that following opcodes are not boostable. - 0FH (2byte escape) - 70H - 7FH (Jump on condition) - 9AH (Call) and 9CH (Pushf) - C0H-C1H (Grp 2: includes reserved opcode) - C6H-C7H (Grp11: includes reserved opcode) - CCH-CEH (Software-interrupt) - D0H-D3H (Grp2: includes reserved opcode) - D6H (Reserved) - D8H-DFH (Coprocessor) - E0H-E3H (loop/conditional jump) - E8H (Call) - F0H-F3H (Prefixes and reserved) - F4H (Halt) - F6H-F7H (Grp3: includes reserved opcode) - FEH-FFH(Grp4,5: includes reserved opcode) Kprobe-booster checks whether target instruction can be boosted (can be executed directly) at arch_copy_kprobe() function. If the target instruction can be boosted, it clears "boostable" flag. If not, it sets "boostable" flag -1. This is disabled status. In resume_execution() function, If "boostable" flag is cleared, kprobe-booster measures the size of the target instruction and sets "boostable" flag 1. In kprobe_handler(), kprobe checks the "boostable" flag. If the flag is 1, it resets current kprobe and executes instruction buffer directly instead of single stepping. When unregistering a boosted kprobe, it calls synchronize_sched() after "int3" is removed. So we can ensure followings after the synchronize_sched() called. - interrupt handlers are finished on all CPUs. - instruction buffer is not executed on all CPUs. And we can release the boosted kprobe safely. And also, on preemptible kernel, the booster is not enabled where the kernel preemption is enabled. So, there are no preempted threads on the instruction buffer. The description of kretprobe-booster: ==================================== In the normal operation, kretprobe make a target function return to trampoline code. And a kprobe (called trampoline_probe) have been inserted at the trampoline code. When the kernel hits this kprobe, it calls kretprobe's handler and it returns to original return address. Kretprobe-booster patch removes the trampoline_probe. It allows the trampoline code to call kretprobe's handler directly instead of invoking kprobe. And tranpoline code returns to original return address. This new trampoline code stores and restores registers, so the kretprobe handler is still able to access those registers. Current kprobe has about 1.3 usec/probe(*) overhead, and kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.6 usec/probe(*). Also current kretprobe has about 2.0 usec/probe(*) overhead. Kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 1.3 usec/probe(*), and the combination of both kprobe-booster patch and kretprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.9 usec/probe(*). I expect the combination of both patches can reduce half of a probing overhead. Performance numbers strongly depend on the processor model. Andrew Morton wrote: > These preempt tricks look rather nasty. Can you please describe what the > problem is, precisely? And how this code avoids it? Perhaps we can find > something cleaner. The problem is how to remove the copied instructions of the kprobe *safely* on the preemptable kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y). Kprobes basically executes the following actions; (1)int3 (2)preempt_disable() (3)kprobe_prehandler() (4)copied instructioin(single step) (5)kprobe_posthandler() (6)preempt_enable() (7)return to the original code During the execution of copied instruction, preemption is disabled (from step (2) to (6)). When unregistering the probes, Kprobe waits for RCU quiescent state by using synchronize_sched() after removing int3 instruction. Thus we can ensure the copied instruction is not executed. On the other hand, kprobe-booster executes the following actions; (1)int3 (2)preempt_disable() (3)kprobe_prehandler() (4)preempt_enable() <-- this one is added by my patch (5)copied instruction(direct execution) (6)jmp back to the original code The problem is that we have no way to prevent preemption on step (5) or (6). We cannot call preempt_disable() after step (6), because there are no rooms to do that. Thus, some other processes may be preempted at step(5) or (6) on preemptable kernel. And I couldn't find the easy way to ensure that other processes' stack do *not* have the address of them. (I thought some way to do that, but those are very costly.) So currently, I simply boost the kprobe only when the probe point is already preemption disabled. > Also, the patch adds a preempt_enable() but I don't see a corresponding > preempt_disable().

[PATCH] x86: kprobes-booster Current kprobe copies the original instruction at the probe point and replaces it with a breakpoint instruction (int3). When the kernel hits the probe point, kprobe handler is invoked. And the copied instruction is single-step executed on the copied buffer (not on the original address) by kprobe. After that, the kprobe checks registers and modify it (if need) as if the instructions was executed on the original address. My proposal is based on the fact there are many instructions which do NOT require the register modification after the single-step execution. When the copied instruction is a kind of them, kprobe just jumps back to the next instruction after single-step execution. If so, why don't we execute those instructions directly? With kprobe-booster patch, kprobes will execute a copied instruction directly and (if need) jump back to original code. This direct execution is executed when the kprobe don't have both post_handler and break_handler, and the copied instruction can be executed directly. I sorted instructions which can be executed directly or not; - Call instructions are NG(can not be executed directly). We should correct the return address pushed into top of stack. - Indirect instructions except for absolute indirect-jumps are NG. Those instructions changes EIP randomly. We should check EIP and correct it. - Instructions that change EIP beyond the range of the instruction buffer are NG. - Instructions that change EIP to tail 5 bytes of the instruction buffer (it is the size of a jump instruction). We must write a jump instruction which backs to original kernel code in the instruction buffer. - Break point instruction is NG. We should not touch EIP and pass to other handlers. - Absolute direct/indirect jumps are OK.- Conditional Jumps are NG. - Halt and software-interruptions are NG. Because it will stay on the instruction buffer of kprobes. - Prefixes are NG. - Unknown/reserved opcode is NG. - Other 1 byte instructions are OK. But those instructions need a jump back code. - 2 bytes instructions are mapped sparsely. So, in this release, this patch don't boost those instructions. >From Intel's IA-32 opcode map described in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual Vol.2 B, I determined that following opcodes are not boostable. - 0FH (2byte escape) - 70H - 7FH (Jump on condition) - 9AH (Call) and 9CH (Pushf) - C0H-C1H (Grp 2: includes reserved opcode) - C6H-C7H (Grp11: includes reserved opcode) - CCH-CEH (Software-interrupt) - D0H-D3H (Grp2: includes reserved opcode) - D6H (Reserved) - D8H-DFH (Coprocessor) - E0H-E3H (loop/conditional jump) - E8H (Call) - F0H-F3H (Prefixes and reserved) - F4H (Halt) - F6H-F7H (Grp3: includes reserved opcode) - FEH-FFH(Grp4,5: includes reserved opcode) Kprobe-booster checks whether target instruction can be boosted (can be executed directly) at arch_copy_kprobe() function. If the target instruction can be boosted, it clears "boostable" flag. If not, it sets "boostable" flag -1. This is disabled status. In resume_execution() function, If "boostable" flag is cleared, kprobe-booster measures the size of the target instruction and sets "boostable" flag 1. In kprobe_handler(), kprobe checks the "boostable" flag. If the flag is 1, it resets current kprobe and executes instruction buffer directly instead of single stepping. When unregistering a boosted kprobe, it calls synchronize_sched() after "int3" is removed. So we can ensure followings after the synchronize_sched() called. - interrupt handlers are finished on all CPUs. - instruction buffer is not executed on all CPUs. And we can release the boosted kprobe safely. And also, on preemptible kernel, the booster is not enabled where the kernel preemption is enabled. So, there are no preempted threads on the instruction buffer. The description of kretprobe-booster: ==================================== In the normal operation, kretprobe make a target function return to trampoline code. And a kprobe (called trampoline_probe) have been inserted at the trampoline code. When the kernel hits this kprobe, it calls kretprobe's handler and it returns to original return address. Kretprobe-booster patch removes the trampoline_probe. It allows the trampoline code to call kretprobe's handler directly instead of invoking kprobe. And tranpoline code returns to original return address. This new trampoline code stores and restores registers, so the kretprobe handler is still able to access those registers. Current kprobe has about 1.3 usec/probe(*) overhead, and kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.6 usec/probe(*). Also current kretprobe has about 2.0 usec/probe(*) overhead. Kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 1.3 usec/probe(*), and the combination of both kprobe-booster patch and kretprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.9 usec/probe(*). I expect the combination of both patches can reduce half of a probing overhead. Performance numbers strongly depend on the processor model. Andrew Morton wrote: > These preempt tricks look rather nasty. Can you please describe what the > problem is, precisely? And how this code avoids it? Perhaps we can find > something cleaner. The problem is how to remove the copied instructions of the kprobe *safely* on the preemptable kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y). Kprobes basically executes the following actions; (1)int3 (2)preempt_disable() (3)kprobe_prehandler() (4)copied instructioin(single step) (5)kprobe_posthandler() (6)preempt_enable() (7)return to the original code During the execution of copied instruction, preemption is disabled (from step (2) to (6)). When unregistering the probes, Kprobe waits for RCU quiescent state by using synchronize_sched() after removing int3 instruction. Thus we can ensure the copied instruction is not executed. On the other hand, kprobe-booster executes the following actions; (1)int3 (2)preempt_disable() (3)kprobe_prehandler() (4)preempt_enable() <-- this one is added by my patch (5)copied instruction(direct execution) (6)jmp back to the original code The problem is that we have no way to prevent preemption on step (5) or (6). We cannot call preempt_disable() after step (6), because there are no rooms to do that. Thus, some other processes may be preempted at step(5) or (6) on preemptable kernel. And I couldn't find the easy way to ensure that other processes' stack do *not* have the address of them. (I thought some way to do that, but those are very costly.) So currently, I simply boost the kprobe only when the probe point is already preemption disabled. > Also, the patch adds a preempt_enable() but I don't see a corresponding > preempt_disable(). Am I missing something? It is corresponding to the preempt_disable() in the top of kprobe_handler().

In resume_execution() function, If "boostable" flag is cleared, kprobe-booster measures the size of the target instruction and sets "boostable" flag 1. In kprobe_handler(), kprobe checks the "boostable" flag. If the flag is 1, it resets current kprobe and executes instruction buffer directly instead of single stepping. When unregistering a boosted kprobe, it calls synchronize_sched() after "int3" is removed. So we can ensure followings after the synchronize_sched() called. - interrupt handlers are finished on all CPUs. - instruction buffer is not executed on all CPUs. And we can release the boosted kprobe safely. And also, on preemptible kernel, the booster is not enabled where the kernel preemption is enabled. So, there are no preempted threads on the instruction buffer. The description of kretprobe-booster: ==================================== In the normal operation, kretprobe make a target function return to trampoline code. And a kprobe (called trampoline_probe) have been inserted at the trampoline code. When the kernel hits this kprobe, it calls kretprobe's handler and it returns to original return address. Kretprobe-booster patch removes the trampoline_probe. It allows the trampoline code to call kretprobe's handler directly instead of invoking kprobe. And tranpoline code returns to original return address. This new trampoline code stores and restores registers, so the kretprobe handler is still able to access those registers. Current kprobe has about 1.3 usec/probe(*) overhead, and kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.6 usec/probe(*). Also current kretprobe has about 2.0 usec/probe(*) overhead. Kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 1.3 usec/probe(*), and the combination of both kprobe-booster patch and kretprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.9 usec/probe(*). I expect the combination of both patches can reduce half of a probing overhead. Performance numbers strongly depend on the processor model.

[PATCH] x86: kprobes-booster Current kprobe copies the original instruction at the probe point and replaces it with a breakpoint instruction (int3). When the kernel hits the probe point, kprobe handler is invoked. And the copied instruction is single-step executed on the copied buffer (not on the original address) by kprobe. After that, the kprobe checks registers and modify it (if need) as if the instructions was executed on the original address. My proposal is based on the fact there are many instructions which do NOT require the register modification after the single-step execution. When the copied instruction is a kind of them, kprobe just jumps back to the next instruction after single-step execution. If so, why don't we execute those instructions directly? With kprobe-booster patch, kprobes will execute a copied instruction directly and (if need) jump back to original code. This direct execution is executed when the kprobe don't have both post_handler and break_handler, and the copied instruction can be executed directly. I sorted instructions which can be executed directly or not; - Call instructions are NG(can not be executed directly). We should correct the return address pushed into top of stack. - Indirect instructions except for absolute indirect-jumps are NG. Those instructions changes EIP randomly. We should check EIP and correct it. - Instructions that change EIP beyond the range of the instruction buffer are NG. - Instructions that change EIP to tail 5 bytes of the instruction buffer (it is the size of a jump instruction). We must write a jump instruction which backs to original kernel code in the instruction buffer. - Break point instruction is NG. We should not touch EIP and pass to other handlers. - Absolute direct/indirect jumps are OK.- Conditional Jumps are NG. - Halt and software-interruptions are NG. Because it will stay on the instruction buffer of kprobes. - Prefixes are NG. - Unknown/reserved opcode is NG. - Other 1 byte instructions are OK. But those instructions need a jump back code. - 2 bytes instructions are mapped sparsely. So, in this release, this patch don't boost those instructions. >From Intel's IA-32 opcode map described in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual Vol.2 B, I determined that following opcodes are not boostable. - 0FH (2byte escape) - 70H - 7FH (Jump on condition) - 9AH (Call) and 9CH (Pushf) - C0H-C1H (Grp 2: includes reserved opcode) - C6H-C7H (Grp11: includes reserved opcode) - CCH-CEH (Software-interrupt) - D0H-D3H (Grp2: includes reserved opcode) - D6H (Reserved) - D8H-DFH (Coprocessor) - E0H-E3H (loop/conditional jump) - E8H (Call) - F0H-F3H (Prefixes and reserved) - F4H (Halt) - F6H-F7H (Grp3: includes reserved opcode) - FEH-FFH(Grp4,5: includes reserved opcode) Kprobe-booster checks whether target instruction can be boosted (can be executed directly) at arch_copy_kprobe() function.

[PATCH] Move kprobe [dis]arming into arch specific code The architecture independent code of the current kprobes implementation is arming and disarming kprobes at registration time. The problem is that the code is assuming that arming and disarming is a just done by a simple write of some magic value to an address. This is problematic for ia64 where our instructions look more like structures, and we can not insert break points by just doing something like: *p->addr = BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION; The following patch to 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 adds two new architecture dependent functions: * void arch_arm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p) * void arch_disarm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p) and then adds the new functions for each of the architectures that already implement kprobes (spar64/ppc64/i386/x86_64). I thought arch_[dis]arm_kprobe was the most descriptive of what was really happening, but each of the architectures already had a disarm_kprobe() function that was really a "disarm and do some other clean-up items as needed when you stumble across a recursive kprobe." So... I took the liberty of changing the code that was calling disarm_kprobe() to call arch_disarm_kprobe(), and then do the cleanup in the block of code dealing with the recursive kprobe case. So far this patch as been tested on i386, x86_64, and ppc64, but still needs to be tested in sparc64.

[PATCH] kprobes: enable booster on the preemptible kernel When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some processes might be preempted on the buffer. The freeze_processes() and thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer. There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag. If those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing. However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time. So, this patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot. It also introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency. The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released immediately. But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are marked as garbages. collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release "dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if there are no unused slots.

[PATCH] kprobes: function-return probes This patch adds function-return probes to kprobes for the i386 architecture. This enables you to establish a handler to be run when a function returns. 1. API Two new functions are added to kprobes: int register_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp); void unregister_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp); 2. Registration and unregistration 2.1 Register To register a function-return probe, the user populates the following fields in a kretprobe object and calls register_kretprobe() with the kretprobe address as an argument: kp.addr - the function's address handler - this function is run after the ret instruction executes, but before control returns to the return address in the caller. maxactive - The maximum number of instances of the probed function that can be active concurrently. For example, if the function is non- recursive and is called with a spinlock or mutex held, maxactive = 1 should be enough. If the function is non-recursive and can never relinquish the CPU (e.g., via a semaphore or preemption), NR_CPUS should be enough. maxactive is used to determine how many kretprobe_instance objects to allocate for this particular probed function. If maxactive <= 0, it is set to a default value (if CONFIG_PREEMPT maxactive=max(10, 2 * NR_CPUS) else maxactive=NR_CPUS) For example: struct kretprobe rp; rp.kp.addr = /* entrypoint address */ rp.handler = /*return probe handler */ rp.maxactive = /* e.g., 1 or NR_CPUS or 0, see the above explanation */ register_kretprobe(&rp); The following field may also be of interest: nmissed - Initialized to zero when the function-return probe is registered, and incremented every time the probed function is entered but there is no kretprobe_instance object available for establishing the function-return probe (i.e., because maxactive was set too low). 2.2 Unregister To unregiter a function-return probe, the user calls unregister_kretprobe() with the same kretprobe object as registered previously. If a probed function is running when the return probe is unregistered, the function will return as expected, but the handler won't be run. 3. Limitations 3.1 This patch supports only the i386 architecture, but patches for x86_64 and ppc64 are anticipated soon. 3.2 Return probes operates by replacing the return address in the stack (or in a known register, such as the lr register for ppc). This may cause __builtin_return_address(0), when invoked from the return-probed function, to return the address of the return-probes trampoline. 3.3 This implementation uses the "Multiprobes at an address" feature in 2.6.12-rc3-mm3. 3.4 Due to a limitation in multi-probes, you cannot currently establish a return probe and a jprobe on the same function.

[PATCH] kprobes: enable booster on the preemptible kernel When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some processes might be preempted on the buffer. The freeze_processes() and thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer. There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag. If those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing. However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time. So, this patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot. It also introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency. The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released immediately. But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are marked as garbages. collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release "dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if there are no unused slots.

[PATCH] x86: kprobes-booster Current kprobe copies the original instruction at the probe point and replaces it with a breakpoint instruction (int3). When the kernel hits the probe point, kprobe handler is invoked. And the copied instruction is single-step executed on the copied buffer (not on the original address) by kprobe. After that, the kprobe checks registers and modify it (if need) as if the instructions was executed on the original address. My proposal is based on the fact there are many instructions which do NOT require the register modification after the single-step execution. When the copied instruction is a kind of them, kprobe just jumps back to the next instruction after single-step execution. If so, why don't we execute those instructions directly? With kprobe-booster patch, kprobes will execute a copied instruction directly and (if need) jump back to original code. This direct execution is executed when the kprobe don't have both post_handler and break_handler, and the copied instruction can be executed directly. I sorted instructions which can be executed directly or not; - Call instructions are NG(can not be executed directly). We should correct the return address pushed into top of stack. - Indirect instructions except for absolute indirect-jumps are NG. Those instructions changes EIP randomly. We should check EIP and correct it. - Instructions that change EIP beyond the range of the instruction buffer are NG. - Instructions that change EIP to tail 5 bytes of the instruction buffer (it is the size of a jump instruction). We must write a jump instruction which backs to original kernel code in the instruction buffer. - Break point instruction is NG. We should not touch EIP and pass to other handlers. - Absolute direct/indirect jumps are OK.- Conditional Jumps are NG. - Halt and software-interruptions are NG. Because it will stay on the instruction buffer of kprobes. - Prefixes are NG. - Unknown/reserved opcode is NG. - Other 1 byte instructions are OK. But those instructions need a jump back code. - 2 bytes instructions are mapped sparsely. So, in this release, this patch don't boost those instructions. >From Intel's IA-32 opcode map described in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual Vol.2 B, I determined that following opcodes are not boostable. - 0FH (2byte escape) - 70H - 7FH (Jump on condition) - 9AH (Call) and 9CH (Pushf) - C0H-C1H (Grp 2: includes reserved opcode) - C6H-C7H (Grp11: includes reserved opcode) - CCH-CEH (Software-interrupt) - D0H-D3H (Grp2: includes reserved opcode) - D6H (Reserved) - D8H-DFH (Coprocessor) - E0H-E3H (loop/conditional jump) - E8H (Call) - F0H-F3H (Prefixes and reserved) - F4H (Halt) - F6H-F7H (Grp3: includes reserved opcode) - FEH-FFH(Grp4,5: includes reserved opcode) Kprobe-booster checks whether target instruction can be boosted (can be executed directly) at arch_copy_kprobe() function. If the target instruction can be boosted, it clears "boostable" flag. If not, it sets "boostable" flag -1. This is disabled status. In resume_execution() function, If "boostable" flag is cleared, kprobe-booster measures the size of the target instruction and sets "boostable" flag 1. In kprobe_handler(), kprobe checks the "boostable" flag. If the flag is 1, it resets current kprobe and executes instruction buffer directly instead of single stepping. When unregistering a boosted kprobe, it calls synchronize_sched() after "int3" is removed. So we can ensure followings after the synchronize_sched() called. - interrupt handlers are finished on all CPUs. - instruction buffer is not executed on all CPUs. And we can release the boosted kprobe safely. And also, on preemptible kernel, the booster is not enabled where the kernel preemption is enabled. So, there are no preempted threads on the instruction buffer. The description of kretprobe-booster: ==================================== In the normal operation, kretprobe make a target function return to trampoline code. And a kprobe (called trampoline_probe) have been inserted at the trampoline code. When the kernel hits this kprobe, it calls kretprobe's handler and it returns to original return address. Kretprobe-booster patch removes the trampoline_probe. It allows the trampoline code to call kretprobe's handler directly instead of invoking kprobe. And tranpoline code returns to original return address. This new trampoline code stores and restores registers, so the kretprobe handler is still able to access those registers. Current kprobe has about 1.3 usec/probe(*) overhead, and kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.6 usec/probe(*). Also current kretprobe has about 2.0 usec/probe(*) overhead. Kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 1.3 usec/probe(*), and the combination of both kprobe-booster patch and kretprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.9 usec/probe(*). I expect the combination of both patches can reduce half of a probing overhead. Performance numbers strongly depend on the processor model. Andrew Morton wrote: > These preempt tricks look rather nasty. Can you please describe what the > problem is, precisely? And how this code avoids it? Perhaps we can find > something cleaner. The problem is how to remove the copied instructions of the kprobe *safely* on the preemptable kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y). Kprobes basically executes the following actions; (1)int3 (2)preempt_disable() (3)kprobe_prehandler() (4)copied instructioin(single step) (5)kprobe_posthandler() (6)preempt_enable() (7)return to the original code During the execution of copied instruction, preemption is disabled (from step (2) to (6)). When unregistering the probes, Kprobe waits for RCU quiescent state by using synchronize_sched() after removing int3 instruction. Thus we can ensure the copied instruction is not executed. On the other hand, kprobe-booster executes the following actions; (1)int3 (2)preempt_disable() (3)kprobe_prehandler() (4)preempt_enable() <-- this one is added by my patch (5)copied instruction(direct execution) (6)jmp back to the original code The problem is that we have no way to prevent preemption on step (5) or (6). We cannot call preempt_disable() after step (6), because there are no rooms to do that. Thus, some other processes may be preempted at step(5) or (6) on preemptable kernel. And I couldn't find the easy way to ensure that other processes' stack do *not* have the address of them. (I thought some way to do that, but those are very costly.) So currently, I simply boost the kprobe only when the probe point is already preemption disabled. > Also, the patch adds a preempt_enable() but I don't see a corresponding > preempt_disable(). Am I missing something? It is corresponding to the preempt_disable() in the top of kprobe_handler(). I copied the code of kprobe_handler() here: static int __kprobes kprobe_handler(struct pt_regs *regs) { struct kprobe *p; int ret = 0; kprobe_opcode_t *addr = NULL; unsigned long *lp; struct kprobe_ctlblk *kcb; /* * We don't want to be preempted for the entire * duration of kprobe processing */ preempt_disable(); <-- HERE kcb = get_kprobe_ctlblk(); Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <hiramatu@sdl.hitachi.co.jp> Cc: Prasanna S Panchamukhi <prasanna@in.ibm.com> Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Cc: Anil S Keshavamurthy <anil.s.keshavamurthy@intel.com> Cc: David S.

Limitations 3.1 This patch supports only the i386 architecture, but patches for x86_64 and ppc64 are anticipated soon. 3.2 Return probes operates by replacing the return address in the stack (or in a known register, such as the lr register for ppc). This may cause __builtin_return_address(0), when invoked from the return-probed function, to return the address of the return-probes trampoline. 3.3 This implementation uses the "Multiprobes at an address" feature in 2.6.12-rc3-mm3. 3.4 Due to a limitation in multi-probes, you cannot currently establish a return probe and a jprobe on the same function.

[PATCH] kprobes: function-return probes This patch adds function-return probes to kprobes for the i386 architecture. This enables you to establish a handler to be run when a function returns. 1. API Two new functions are added to kprobes: int register_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp); void unregister_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp); 2. Registration and unregistration 2.1 Register To register a function-return probe, the user populates the following fields in a kretprobe object and calls register_kretprobe() with the kretprobe address as an argument: kp.addr - the function's address handler - this function is run after the ret instruction executes, but before control returns to the return address in the caller. maxactive - The maximum number of instances of the probed function that can be active concurrently. For example, if the function is non- recursive and is called with a spinlock or mutex held, maxactive = 1 should be enough. If the function is non-recursive and can never relinquish the CPU (e.g., via a semaphore or preemption), NR_CPUS should be enough. maxactive is used to determine how many kretprobe_instance objects to allocate for this particular probed function. If maxactive <= 0, it is set to a default value (if CONFIG_PREEMPT maxactive=max(10, 2 * NR_CPUS) else maxactive=NR_CPUS) For example: struct kretprobe rp; rp.kp.addr = /* entrypoint address */ rp.handler = /*return probe handler */ rp.maxactive = /* e.g., 1 or NR_CPUS or 0, see the above explanation */ register_kretprobe(&rp); The following field may also be of interest: nmissed - Initialized to zero when the function-return probe is registered, and incremented every time the probed function is entered but there is no kretprobe_instance object available for establishing the function-return probe (i.e., because maxactive was set too low). 2.2 Unregister To unregiter a function-return probe, the user calls unregister_kretprobe() with the same kretprobe object as registered previously.

[PATCH] x86: kprobes-booster Current kprobe copies the original instruction at the probe point and replaces it with a breakpoint instruction (int3). When the kernel hits the probe point, kprobe handler is invoked. And the copied instruction is single-step executed on the copied buffer (not on the original address) by kprobe. After that, the kprobe checks registers and modify it (if need) as if the instructions was executed on the original address. My proposal is based on the fact there are many instructions which do NOT require the register modification after the single-step execution. When the copied instruction is a kind of them, kprobe just jumps back to the next instruction after single-step execution. If so, why don't we execute those instructions directly? With kprobe-booster patch, kprobes will execute a copied instruction directly and (if need) jump back to original code. This direct execution is executed when the kprobe don't have both post_handler and break_handler, and the copied instruction can be executed directly. I sorted instructions which can be executed directly or not; - Call instructions are NG(can not be executed directly). We should correct the return address pushed into top of stack. - Indirect instructions except for absolute indirect-jumps are NG. Those instructions changes EIP randomly. We should check EIP and correct it. - Instructions that change EIP beyond the range of the instruction buffer are NG. - Instructions that change EIP to tail 5 bytes of the instruction buffer (it is the size of a jump instruction). We must write a jump instruction which backs to original kernel code in the instruction buffer. - Break point instruction is NG. We should not touch EIP and pass to other handlers. - Absolute direct/indirect jumps are OK.- Conditional Jumps are NG. - Halt and software-interruptions are NG. Because it will stay on the instruction buffer of kprobes. - Prefixes are NG. - Unknown/reserved opcode is NG. - Other 1 byte instructions are OK. But those instructions need a jump back code. - 2 bytes instructions are mapped sparsely. So, in this release, this patch don't boost those instructions. >From Intel's IA-32 opcode map described in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual Vol.2 B, I determined that following opcodes are not boostable. - 0FH (2byte escape) - 70H - 7FH (Jump on condition) - 9AH (Call) and 9CH (Pushf) - C0H-C1H (Grp 2: includes reserved opcode) - C6H-C7H (Grp11: includes reserved opcode) - CCH-CEH (Software-interrupt) - D0H-D3H (Grp2: includes reserved opcode) - D6H (Reserved) - D8H-DFH (Coprocessor) - E0H-E3H (loop/conditional jump) - E8H (Call) - F0H-F3H (Prefixes and reserved) - F4H (Halt) - F6H-F7H (Grp3: includes reserved opcode) - FEH-FFH(Grp4,5: includes reserved opcode) Kprobe-booster checks whether target instruction can be boosted (can be executed directly) at arch_copy_kprobe() function. If the target instruction can be boosted, it clears "boostable" flag. If not, it sets "boostable" flag -1. This is disabled status. In resume_execution() function, If "boostable" flag is cleared, kprobe-booster measures the size of the target instruction and sets "boostable" flag 1. In kprobe_handler(), kprobe checks the "boostable" flag. If the flag is 1, it resets current kprobe and executes instruction buffer directly instead of single stepping. When unregistering a boosted kprobe, it calls synchronize_sched() after "int3" is removed. So we can ensure followings after the synchronize_sched() called. - interrupt handlers are finished on all CPUs. - instruction buffer is not executed on all CPUs. And we can release the boosted kprobe safely. And also, on preemptible kernel, the booster is not enabled where the kernel preemption is enabled. So, there are no preempted threads on the instruction buffer. The description of kretprobe-booster: ==================================== In the normal operation, kretprobe make a target function return to trampoline code. And a kprobe (called trampoline_probe) have been inserted at the trampoline code. When the kernel hits this kprobe, it calls kretprobe's handler and it returns to original return address. Kretprobe-booster patch removes the trampoline_probe. It allows the trampoline code to call kretprobe's handler directly instead of invoking kprobe. And tranpoline code returns to original return address. This new trampoline code stores and restores registers, so the kretprobe handler is still able to access those registers. Current kprobe has about 1.3 usec/probe(*) overhead, and kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.6 usec/probe(*). Also current kretprobe has about 2.0 usec/probe(*) overhead. Kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 1.3 usec/probe(*), and the combination of both kprobe-booster patch and kretprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.9 usec/probe(*). I expect the combination of both patches can reduce half of a probing overhead. Performance numbers strongly depend on the processor model. Andrew Morton wrote: > These preempt tricks look rather nasty. Can you please describe what the > problem is, precisely? And how this code avoids it? Perhaps we can find > something cleaner. The problem is how to remove the copied instructions of the kprobe *safely* on the preemptable kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y). Kprobes basically executes the following actions; (1)int3 (2)preempt_disable() (3)kprobe_prehandler() (4)copied instructioin(single step) (5)kprobe_posthandler() (6)preempt_enable() (7)return to the original code During the execution of copied instruction, preemption is disabled (from step (2) to (6)). When unregistering the probes, Kprobe waits for RCU quiescent state by using synchronize_sched() after removing int3 instruction. Thus we can ensure the copied instruction is not executed. On the other hand, kprobe-booster executes the following actions; (1)int3 (2)preempt_disable() (3)kprobe_prehandler() (4)preempt_enable() <-- this one is added by my patch (5)copied instruction(direct execution) (6)jmp back to the original code The problem is that we have no way to prevent preemption on step (5) or (6). We cannot call preempt_disable() after step (6), because there are no rooms to do that. Thus, some other processes may be preempted at step(5) or (6) on preemptable kernel. And I couldn't find the easy way to ensure that other processes' stack do *not* have the address of them. (I thought some way to do that, but those are very costly.) So currently, I simply boost the kprobe only when the probe point is already preemption disabled. > Also, the patch adds a preempt_enable() but I don't see a corresponding > preempt_disable().

[PATCH] x86: kprobes-booster Current kprobe copies the original instruction at the probe point and replaces it with a breakpoint instruction (int3). When the kernel hits the probe point, kprobe handler is invoked. And the copied instruction is single-step executed on the copied buffer (not on the original address) by kprobe. After that, the kprobe checks registers and modify it (if need) as if the instructions was executed on the original address. My proposal is based on the fact there are many instructions which do NOT require the register modification after the single-step execution. When the copied instruction is a kind of them, kprobe just jumps back to the next instruction after single-step execution. If so, why don't we execute those instructions directly? With kprobe-booster patch, kprobes will execute a copied instruction directly and (if need) jump back to original code. This direct execution is executed when the kprobe don't have both post_handler and break_handler, and the copied instruction can be executed directly. I sorted instructions which can be executed directly or not; - Call instructions are NG(can not be executed directly). We should correct the return address pushed into top of stack. - Indirect instructions except for absolute indirect-jumps are NG. Those instructions changes EIP randomly. We should check EIP and correct it. - Instructions that change EIP beyond the range of the instruction buffer are NG. - Instructions that change EIP to tail 5 bytes of the instruction buffer (it is the size of a jump instruction). We must write a jump instruction which backs to original kernel code in the instruction buffer. - Break point instruction is NG. We should not touch EIP and pass to other handlers. - Absolute direct/indirect jumps are OK.- Conditional Jumps are NG. - Halt and software-interruptions are NG. Because it will stay on the instruction buffer of kprobes. - Prefixes are NG. - Unknown/reserved opcode is NG. - Other 1 byte instructions are OK. But those instructions need a jump back code. - 2 bytes instructions are mapped sparsely. So, in this release, this patch don't boost those instructions. >From Intel's IA-32 opcode map described in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual Vol.2 B, I determined that following opcodes are not boostable. - 0FH (2byte escape) - 70H - 7FH (Jump on condition) - 9AH (Call) and 9CH (Pushf) - C0H-C1H (Grp 2: includes reserved opcode) - C6H-C7H (Grp11: includes reserved opcode) - CCH-CEH (Software-interrupt) - D0H-D3H (Grp2: includes reserved opcode) - D6H (Reserved) - D8H-DFH (Coprocessor) - E0H-E3H (loop/conditional jump) - E8H (Call) - F0H-F3H (Prefixes and reserved) - F4H (Halt) - F6H-F7H (Grp3: includes reserved opcode) - FEH-FFH(Grp4,5: includes reserved opcode) Kprobe-booster checks whether target instruction can be boosted (can be executed directly) at arch_copy_kprobe() function. If the target instruction can be boosted, it clears "boostable" flag. If not, it sets "boostable" flag -1. This is disabled status. In resume_execution() function, If "boostable" flag is cleared, kprobe-booster measures the size of the target instruction and sets "boostable" flag 1. In kprobe_handler(), kprobe checks the "boostable" flag. If the flag is 1, it resets current kprobe and executes instruction buffer directly instead of single stepping. When unregistering a boosted kprobe, it calls synchronize_sched() after "int3" is removed. So we can ensure followings after the synchronize_sched() called. - interrupt handlers are finished on all CPUs. - instruction buffer is not executed on all CPUs. And we can release the boosted kprobe safely. And also, on preemptible kernel, the booster is not enabled where the kernel preemption is enabled. So, there are no preempted threads on the instruction buffer. The description of kretprobe-booster: ==================================== In the normal operation, kretprobe make a target function return to trampoline code. And a kprobe (called trampoline_probe) have been inserted at the trampoline code. When the kernel hits this kprobe, it calls kretprobe's handler and it returns to original return address. Kretprobe-booster patch removes the trampoline_probe. It allows the trampoline code to call kretprobe's handler directly instead of invoking kprobe. And tranpoline code returns to original return address. This new trampoline code stores and restores registers, so the kretprobe handler is still able to access those registers. Current kprobe has about 1.3 usec/probe(*) overhead, and kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.6 usec/probe(*). Also current kretprobe has about 2.0 usec/probe(*) overhead. Kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 1.3 usec/probe(*), and the combination of both kprobe-booster patch and kretprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.9 usec/probe(*). I expect the combination of both patches can reduce half of a probing overhead. Performance numbers strongly depend on the processor model. Andrew Morton wrote: > These preempt tricks look rather nasty. Can you please describe what the > problem is, precisely? And how this code avoids it? Perhaps we can find > something cleaner. The problem is how to remove the copied instructions of the kprobe *safely* on the preemptable kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y). Kprobes basically executes the following actions; (1)int3 (2)preempt_disable() (3)kprobe_prehandler() (4)copied instructioin(single step) (5)kprobe_posthandler() (6)preempt_enable() (7)return to the original code During the execution of copied instruction, preemption is disabled (from step (2) to (6)). When unregistering the probes, Kprobe waits for RCU quiescent state by using synchronize_sched() after removing int3 instruction. Thus we can ensure the copied instruction is not executed. On the other hand, kprobe-booster executes the following actions; (1)int3 (2)preempt_disable() (3)kprobe_prehandler() (4)preempt_enable() <-- this one is added by my patch (5)copied instruction(direct execution) (6)jmp back to the original code The problem is that we have no way to prevent preemption on step (5) or (6). We cannot call preempt_disable() after step (6), because there are no rooms to do that. Thus, some other processes may be preempted at step(5) or (6) on preemptable kernel. And I couldn't find the easy way to ensure that other processes' stack do *not* have the address of them. (I thought some way to do that, but those are very costly.) So currently, I simply boost the kprobe only when the probe point is already preemption disabled. > Also, the patch adds a preempt_enable() but I don't see a corresponding > preempt_disable().
