User-space probes also supports the registering of the probe points
before the probed code is loaded. This clearly has advantages for
catching initialization problems. This involves modifying the probed
applications address_space readpage() and readpages(). Overhead of
changing the address_space readpage/s() is limited to only the probed
application until all probes are removed from that application.
This patch provides the feature of inserting probes on pages that are
not present in the memory during registration.
To add readpage and readpages() hooks, two new elements are added to
the uprobe_module object:
struct address_space_operations *ori_a_ops;
struct address_space_operations user_a_ops;
When the pages are read into memory through the readpage and
readpages address space operations, any associated probes are
automatically inserted into those pages. These user-space probes
readpage and readpages routines internally call the original
readpage() and readpages() routines, and then check whether probes are
to be added to these pages, inserting probes as necessary.
During unregistration, care should be taken to replace the readpage
and readpages hooks with the original routines if no probes remain on
that application.
