SubjectRe: [PATCH 11/13] tracing/kprobes: Add priv argument to fetch functions
See my replies to 0/13. Lets assume that you agree that get_user_vaddr()
doesn't need tu->inode.

In this case, why do we need this "void *priv"? It actually becomes
"bool need_addr_translation".

Can't we avoid it? Can't we just add FETCH_MTD_memory_notranslate ?
kprobes should use the same methods for FETCH_MTD_memory*, uprobes
should obviously adjust the addr in FETCH_MTD_memory.

Then (afaics) we need a single change in parse_probe_arg(),

- dprm->fetch = t->fetch[FETCH_MTD_memory];
+ dprm->fetch = t->fetch[FETCH_MTD_memory_notranslate];

Yes, this will blow *probes_fetch_type_table[], but looks simpler.

And. This way it would be simple to teach parse_probe_arg('@') to use
_notranslate, say, "@=addr" or whatever.

Oleg.
