Bug #: 13083
Summary: debug 3.1 kernel doesn't like mmput() in
stap_utrace_attach
Product: systemtap
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: runtime
AssignedTo: systemtap@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: mjw@redhat.com
Classification: Unclassified
This happens with rawhide 3.1.0-0.rc1.git2.2.fc17.x86_64.
$ /usr/local/install/systemtap/bin/stap -DDEBUG_TRANS=99 -e 'probe
process("/bin/ls").function("main") { log(pp()); exit(); }'

So this seems like when the module receives a STP_START message, call
init_module(), which will initialize the utrace engine. This then hits the
following sanity check code:
// Ignore threads with no mm (which are either kernel threads
// or "mortally wounded" threads).
mm = get_task_mm(tsk);
if (! mm)
return EPERM;
mmput(mm);
And it seems that because we hold the _stp_transport_mutex (see
_stp_handle_start in transport.c) the kernel feels we are in_atomic because
that is holding a spinlock. Se we may not call mmput().
I am not completely sure this is really fatal or just the kernel being a little
paranoid.

Fixed in commit 7fc97c1. We no longer call get_task_mm()/mmput() when we're in
the context of that task.
