v4 cover kprobes: improve error handling when arming/disarming kprobes

Hi,

This patchset attempts to improve error handling when arming or disarming ftrace-based kprobes. The current behavior is to simply WARN when ftrace (un-)registration fails, without propagating the error code. This can lead to confusing situations where, for example, register_kprobe()/enable_kprobe() would return 0 indicating success even if arming via ftrace had failed. In this scenario we'd end up with a non-functioning kprobe even though kprobe registration (or enablement) returned success. In this patchset, we take errors from ftrace into account and propagate the error when we cannot arm or disarm a kprobe.

Below is an example that illustrates the problem using livepatch and systemtap (which uses kprobes underneath). Both livepatch and kprobes use ftrace ops with the IPMODIFY flag set, so registration at the same function entry is limited to only one ftrace user.

Before
------

# modprobe livepatch-sample 	# patches cmdline_proc_show, ftrace ops has IPMODIFY set
# stap -e 'probe kernel.function("cmdline_proc_show").call { printf ("cmdline_proc_show\n"); }'

.. (nothing prints after reading /proc/cmdline) ..

The systemtap handler doesn't execute due to a kprobe arming failure caused by a ftrace IPMODIFY conflict with livepatch, and there isn't an obvious indication of error from systemtap (because register_kprobe() returned success) unless the user inspects dmesg.

After
-----

# modprobe livepatch-sample 
# stap -e 'probe kernel.function("cmdline_proc_show").call { printf ("cmdline_proc_show\n"); }'
WARNING: probe kernel.function("cmdline_proc_show@/home/jeyu/work/linux-next/fs/proc/cmdline.c:6").call (address 0xffffffffa82fe910) registration error (rc -16)

Although the systemtap handler doesn't execute (as it shouldn't), the ftrace error is propagated and now systemtap prints a visible error message stating that (kprobe) registration had failed (because register_kprobe() returned an error), along with the propagated error code.

This patchset was based on Petr Mladek's original patchset (patches 2 and 3) back in 2015, which improved kprobes error handling, found here:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/26/452

However, further work on this had been paused since then and the patches were not upstreamed.

This patchset has been lightly sanity-tested (on linux-next) with kprobes, kretprobes, and optimized kprobes. It passes the kprobes smoke test, but more testing is greatly appreciated.

Changes from v3:
- Have (dis)arm_kprobe_ftrace() return -ENODEV instead of 0 in case of !CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE
- Add total count of all probes tried in (dis)arm_all_kprobes()

Changes from v2:
- Add missing synchronize rcu in register_aggr_kprobe()
- s/kprobes/probes/ on error message in (dis)arm_all_kprobes()

Changes from v1:
- Don't arm the kprobe before adding it to the kprobe table, otherwise we'll temporarily see a stray breakpoint.
- Remove kprobe from the kprobe_table and call synchronize_sched() if arming during register_kprobe() fails.
- add Masami's ack on the 2nd patch (unchanged from v1)

PATCH v4 1/2 kprobes: propagate error from arm_kprobe_ftrace()

Improve error handling when arming ftrace-based kprobes. Specifically, if we fail to arm a ftrace-based kprobe, register_kprobe()/enable_kprobe() should report an error instead of success. Previously, this has lead to confusing situations where register_kprobe() would return 0 indicating success, but the kprobe would not be functional if ftrace registration during the kprobe arming process had failed. We should therefore take any errors returned by ftrace into account and propagate this error so that we do not register/enable kprobes that cannot be armed. This can happen if, for example, register_ftrace_function() finds an IPMODIFY conflict (since kprobe_ftrace_ops has this flag set) and returns an error. Such a conflict is possible since livepatches also set the IPMODIFY flag for their ftrace_ops.

arm_all_kprobes() keeps its current behavior and attempts to arm all kprobes. It returns the last encountered error and gives a warning if not all probes could be armed.

This patch is based on Petr Mladek's original patchset (patches 2 and 3) back in 2015, which improved kprobes error handling, found here:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/26/452

Oops, I missed this. Since IPMODIFY flag conflict can reproduce this error and it happens in normal usage, it should use pr_debug() instead of WARN() as Steve pointed.

Sorry Jessica, could you replace WARN() with pr_debug() in arm_kprobe_ftrace()? If it is reproducable, user can easily make dmesg messy.

Other parts are good to me. So you can add my Acked-by in next version.

Thank you,

PATCH v4 2/2 kprobes: propagate error from disarm_kprobe_ftrace()

In reply to Jessica Yu

Improve error handling when disarming ftrace-based kprobes. Like with arm_kprobe_ftrace(), propagate any errors from disarm_kprobe_ftrace() so that we do not disable/unregister kprobes that are still armed. In other words, unregister_kprobe() and disable_kprobe() should not report success if the kprobe could not be disarmed.

disarm_all_kprobes() keeps its current behavior and attempts to disarm all kprobes. It returns the last encountered error and gives a warning if not all probes could be disarmed.

This patch is based on Petr Mladek's original patchset (patches 2 and 3) back in 2015, which improved kprobes error handling, found here:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/26/452

However, further work on this had been paused since then and the patches were not upstreamed.
