1. copy_insn() doesn't look very nice, all calculations are
confusing and it is not immediately clear why do we read
the 2nd page first.
2. The usage of inode->i_size is wrong on 32-bit machines.
3. "Instruction at end of binary" logic is simply wrong, it
doesn't handle the case when uprobe->offset > inode->i_size.
In this case "bytes" overflows, and __copy_insn() writes to
the memory outside of uprobe->arch.insn.
Yes, uprobe_register() checks i_size_read(), but this file
can be truncated after that. All i_size checks are racy, we
do this only to catch the obvious mistakes.
Change copy_insn() to call __copy_insn() in a loop, simplify
and fix the bytes/nbytes calculations.
Note: we do not care if we read extra bytes after inode->i_size
if we got the valid page. This is fine because the task gets the
same page after page-fault, and arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() can't
know how many bytes were actually read anyway.

Commit aa59c53fd4 "uprobes: Change uprobe_copy_process() to dup
xol_area" has a stupid typo, we need to setup t->utask->vaddr but
the code wrongly uses current->utask.
Even with this bug dup_xol_work() works "in practice", but only
because get_unmapped_area(NULL, TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE) likely
returns the same address every time.

Currently xol_get_insn_slot() assumes that we should simply copy
arch_uprobe->insn[] which is (ignoring arch_uprobe_analyze_insn)
just the copy of the original insn.
This is not true for arm which needs to create another insn to
execute it out-of-line.
So this patch simply adds the new member, ->ixol into the union.
This doesn't make any difference for x86 and powerpc, but arm
can divorce insn/ixol and initialize the correct xol insn in
arch_uprobe_analyze_insn().

uprobe_copy_process() does nothing if the child shares ->mm with
the forking process, but there is a special case: CLONE_VFORK.
In this case it would be more correct to do dup_utask() but avoid
dup_xol(). This is not that important, the child should not unwind
its stack too much, this can corrupt the parent's stack, but at
least we need this to allow to ret-probe __vfork() itself.
Note: in theory, it would be better to check task_pt_regs(p)->sp
instead of CLONE_VFORK, we need to dup_utask() if and only if the
child can return from the function called by the parent. But this
needs the arch-dependant helper, and I think that nobody actually
does clone(same_stack, CLONE_VM).

This finally fixes the serious bug in uretprobes: a forked child
crashes if the parent called fork() with the pending ret probe.
Trivial test-case:
# perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 __fork%return
# perf record -e probe_libc:__fork perl -le 'fork || print "OK"'
(the child doesn't print "OK", it is killed by SIGSEGV)
If the child returns from the probed function it actually returns
to trampoline_vaddr, because it got the copy of parent's stack
mangled by prepare_uretprobe() when the parent entered this func.
It crashes because a) this address is not mapped and b) until the
previous change it doesn't have the proper->return_instances info.
This means that uprobe_copy_process() has to create xol_area which
has the trampoline slot, and its vaddr should be equal to parent's
xol_area->vaddr.
Unfortunately, uprobe_copy_process() can not simply do
__create_xol_area(child, xol_area->vaddr). This could actually work
but perf_event_mmap() doesn't expect the usage of foreign ->mm. So
we offload this to task_work_run(), and pass the argument via not
yet used utask->vaddr.
We know that this vaddr is fine for install_special_mapping(), the
necessary hole was recently "created" by dup_mmap() which skips the
parent's VM_DONTCOPY area, and nobody else could use the new mm.
Unfortunately, this also means that we can not handle the errors
properly, we obviously can not abort the already completed fork().
So we simply print the warning if GFP_KERNEL allocation (the only
possible reason) fails.

uprobe_copy_process() assumes that the new child doesn't need
->utask, it should be allocated by demand.
But this is not true if the forking task has the pending ret-
probes, the child should report them as well and thus it needs
the copy of parent's ->return_instances chain. Otherwise the
child crashes when it returns from the probed function.
Alternatively we could cleanup the child's stack, but this needs
per-arch changes and this is not what we want. At least systemtap
expects a .return in the child too.

Currently it is not possible to change the filtering constraints after
uprobe_register(), so a consumer can not, say, start to trace a task/mm
which was previously filtered out, or remove the no longer needed bp's.
Introduce uprobe_apply() which simply does register_for_each_vma() again
to consult uprobe_consumer->filter() and install/remove the breakpoints.
The only complication is that register_for_each_vma() can no longer
assume that uprobe->consumers should be consulter if is_register == T,
so we change it to accept "struct uprobe_consumer *new" instead.
Unlike uprobe_register(), uprobe_apply(true) doesn't do "unregister" if
register_for_each_vma() fails, it is up to caller to handle the error.
Note: we probably need to cleanup the current interface, it is strange
that uprobe_apply/unregister need inode/offset. We should either change
uprobe_register() to return "struct uprobe *", or add a private ->uprobe
member in uprobe_consumer. And in the long term uprobe_apply() should
take a single argument, uprobe or consumer, even "bool add" should go

Currrently the are 2 problems with pre-filtering:
1. It is not possible to add/remove a task (mm) after uprobe_register()
2. A forked child inherits all breakpoints and uprobe_consumer can not
control this.
This patch does the first step to improve the filtering. handler_chain()
removes the breakpoints installed by this uprobe from current->mm if all
handlers return UPROBE_HANDLER_REMOVE.
Note that handler_chain() relies on ->register_rwsem to avoid the race
with uprobe_register/unregister which can add/del a consumer, or even
remove and then insert the new uprobe at the same address.
Perhaps we will add uprobe_apply_mm(uprobe, mm, is_register) and teach
copy_mm() to do filter(UPROBE_FILTER_FORK), but I think this change makes
sense anyway.
Note: instead of checking the retcode from uc->handler, we could add
uc->filter(UPROBE_FILTER_BPHIT). But I think this is not optimal to
call 2 hooks in a row. This buys nothing, and if handler/filter do
something nontrivial they will probably do the same work twice.

Finally add uprobe_consumer->filter() and change consumer_filter()
to actually call this method.
Note that ->filter() accepts mm_struct, not task_struct. Because:
1. We do not have for_each_mm_user(mm, task).
2. Even if we implement for_each_mm_user(), ->filter() can
use it itself.
3. It is not clear who will actually need this interface to
do the "nontrivial" filtering.
Another argument is "enum uprobe_filter_ctx", consumer->filter() can
use it to figure out why/where it was called. For example, perhaps
we can add UPROBE_FILTER_PRE_REGISTER used by build_map_info() to
quickly "nack" the unwanted mm's. In this case consumer should know
that it is called under ->i_mmap_mutex.

Introduce uprobe->register_rwsem. It is taken for writing around
__uprobe_register/unregister.
Change handler_chain() to use this sem rather than consumer_rwsem.
The main reason for this change is that we have the nasty problem
with mmap_sem/consumer_rwsem dependency. filter_chain() needs to
protect uprobe->consumers like handler_chain(), but they can not
use the same lock. filter_chain() can be called under ->mmap_sem
(currently this is always true), but we want to allow ->handler()
to play with the probed task's memory, and this needs ->mmap_sem.
Alternatively we could use srcu, but synchronize_srcu() is very
slow and ->register_rwsem allows us to do more. In particular, we
can teach handler_chain() to do remove_breakpoint() if this bp is
"nacked" by all consumers, we know that we can't race with the
new consumer which does uprobe_register().

To support the filtering uprobe_register() should do

Note:
- uprobes_mutex[] should die, what it actually protects is
alloc_uprobe().
- UPROBE_RUN_HANDLER should die too, obviously it can't work
unless uprobe has a single consumer. The consumer should
serialize with _register/_unregister itself. Or this flag
should live in uprobe_consumer->state.
- Perhaps we can do some optimizations later. For example, if
filter_chain() never returns false uprobe can record this

Note: given that filter_chain() is not actually implemented, this patch
itself doesn't change the behaviour yet, register_for_each_vma(false)
is a heavy "nop" unless there are no more consumers.

Add the new helper filter_chain(). Currently it is only placeholder,
the comment explains what is should do. We will change it later to
consult every consumer to decide whether we need to install the swbp.
Until then it works as if any consumer returns true, this matches the
current behavior.
Change install_breakpoint() to call filter_chain() instead of checking
uprobe->consumers != NULL. We obviously need this, and this equally
closes the race with _unregister().
Change remove_breakpoint() to call this helper too. Currently this is
pointless because remove_breakpoint() is only called when the last
consumer goes away, but we will change this.

uprobe_consumer->filter() is pointless in its current form, kill it.
We will add it back, but with the different signature/semantics. Perhaps
we will even re-introduce the callsite in handler_chain(), but not to
just skip uc->handler().

register/unregister verifies that inode/uc != NULL. For what?
This really looks like "hide the potential problem", the caller
should pass the valid data.
register() also checks uc->next == NULL, probably to prevent the
double-register but the caller can do other stupid/wrong things.
If we do this check, then we should document that uc->next should
be cleared before register() and add BUG_ON().
Also add the small comment about the i_size_read() check.
