Subject: PR14172: Fix for kernels without VM_EXECUTABLE
Git-commit: 529c7eaed7360776b596af31c86d4e4712a1a3db
We were using VM_EXECUTABLE in two ways:
1) In task_finder for locating the process executable among all the
vmas. Since around 2.6.26 there is also mm->exe_file, which will serve
this purpose just fine.
2) In uprobes to avoid relocation offset for semaphores in ET_EXEC
files. This is actually incorrect, but harmless, because the callback
path for ET_EXEC targets already sets relocation=offset=0 anyway. So we
can just remove the special case for VM_EXECUTABLE altogether.
* runtime/task_finder_vma.c (stap_find_exe_file): New, locate the
process executable either by VM_EXECUTABLE or mm->exe_file.
* runtime/linux/task_finder.c (__stp_get_mm_path): Use stap_find_exe_file.
* runtime/linux/task_finder2.c (__stp_get_mm_path): Ditto.
* runtime/linux/uprobes-common.c (stap_uprobe_change_plus): Don't
special case for VM_EXECUTABLE (and add a comment why).
* runtime/linux/uprobes-inode.c (stapiu_change_plus): Ditto.
(stapiu_get_task_inode): Use stap_find_exe_file.
