Subject: uprobes: Rationalize the usage of filter_chain()
X-Git-Tag: v3.9-rc1~173^2~2^2~24
X-Git-Url: http://git.cascardo.info/?p=cascardo%2Flinux.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=806a98bdf2a862fef0fc880399d677b35ba525ff

uprobes: Rationalize the usage of filter_chain()

filter_chain() was added into install_breakpoint/remove_breakpoint to
simplify the initial changes but this is sub-optimal.

This patch shifts the callsite to the callers, register_for_each_vma()
and uprobe_mmap(). This way:

- It will be easier to add the new arguments. This is the main reason,
  we can do more optimizations later.

- register_for_each_vma(is_register => true) can be optimized, we only
  need to consult the new consumer. The previous consumers were already
  asked when they called uprobe_register().

This patch also moves the MMF_HAS_UPROBES check from remove_breakpoint(),
this allows to avoid the potentionally costly filter_chain(). Note that
register_for_each_vma(is_register => false) doesn't really need to take
->consumer_rwsem, but I don't think it makes sense to optimize this and
introduce filter_chain_lockless().
