powerpc/kprobes: Convert __kprobes to NOKPROBE_SYMBOL()
Along similar lines as commit 9326638cbee2 ("kprobes, x86: Use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() instead of __kprobes annotation"), convert __kprobes annotation to either NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() or nokprobe_inline. The latter forces inlining, in which case the caller needs to be added to NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(). Also: - blacklist arch_deref_entry_point(), and - convert a few regular inlines to nokprobe_inline in lib/sstep.c A key benefit is the ability to detect such symbols as being blacklisted. Before this patch: $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/blacklist | grep read_mem $ perf probe read_mem Failed to write event: Invalid argument Error: Failed to add events. $ dmesg | tail -1 [ 3736.112815] Could not insert probe at _text+10014968: -22 After patch: $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/blacklist | grep read_mem 0xc000000000072b50-0xc000000000072d20 read_mem $ perf probe read_mem read_mem is blacklisted function, skip it. Added new events: (null):(null) (on read_mem) probe:read_mem (on read_mem) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:read_mem -aR sleep 1 $ grep " read_mem" /proc/kallsyms c000000000072b50 t read_mem c0000000005f3b40 t read_mem $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list c0000000005f3b48 k read_mem+0x8 [DISABLED] Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Naveen N.
