uprobe: Find last occurrence of ':' when parsing uprobe PATH:OFFSET
Previously, `create_trace_uprobe` found the *first* occurence of the ':' character when parsing `PATH:OFFSET` for a uprobe. However, if the path contains a ':' character, then the function would parse the path incorrectly. Even worse, if the path does not exist, the subsequent call to `kern_path()` would set `ret` to `ENOENT`, leading to very cryptic errno values in user space. The fix is to find the *last* occurence of ':'. How to repro:: The write fails with "No such file or directory", suggesting incorrectly that the `uprobe_events` file does not exist. $ mkdir testing && cd testing $ cp /bin/bash . $ cp /bin/bash ./bash:with:colon $ echo "p:uprobes/p__root_testing_bash_0x6 /root/testing/bash:0x6" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events # this works $ echo "p:uprobes/p__root_testing_bash_with_colon_0x6 /root/testing/bash:with:colon:0x6" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events # this doesn't -bash: echo: write error: No such file or directory With the patch: $ echo "p:uprobes/p__root_testing_bash_0x6 /root/testing/bash:0x6" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events # this still works $ echo "p:uprobes/p__root_testing_bash_with_colon_0x6 /root/testing/bash:with:colon:0x6" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events # this works now too! $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events p:uprobes/p__root_testing_bash_0x6 /root/testing/bash:0x0000000000000006 p:uprobes/p__root_testing_bash_with_colon_0x6 /root/testing/bash:with:colon:0x0000000000000006 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170113165834.4081016-1-kennyyu@fb.com Signed-off-by: Kenny Yu <kennyyu@fb.com> Reviewed-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
