From b2fe8ba674e8acbb9e8e63510b802c6d054d88a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2013 19:05:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] uprobes/perf: Avoid uprobe_apply() whenever possible uprobe_perf_open/close call the costly uprobe_apply() every time, we can avoid it if: - "nr_systemwide != 0" is not changed. - There is another process/thread with the same ->mm. - copy_proccess() does inherit_event(). dup_mmap() preserves the inserted breakpoints. - event->attr.enable_on_exec == T, we can rely on uprobe_mmap() called by exec/mmap paths. - tp_target is exiting. Only _close() checks PF_EXITING, I don't think TRACE_REG_PERF_OPEN can hit the dying task too often. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov --- Reading git-format-patch failed
