[PATCH 1/6] uprobes: introduce find_active_uprobe()

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Thu Apr 05 2012 - 18:21:50 EST


No functional changes. Move the "find uprobe" code from
handle_swbp() to the new helper, find_active_uprobe().

Note: with or without this change, the find-active-uprobe logic
is not exactly right. We can race with another thread which unmaps
the memory with the valid uprobe before we take mm->mmap_sem. We
can't find this uprobe simply because find_vma() fails. In this
case we wrongly assume that this trap was not caused by uprobe
and send the erroneous SIGTRAP.
