uprobes: Reintroduce uprobe_consumer->filter()
Finally add uprobe_consumer->filter() and change consumer_filter() to actually call this method. Note that ->filter() accepts mm_struct, not task_struct. Because: 1. We do not have for_each_mm_user(mm, task). 2. Even if we implement for_each_mm_user(), ->filter() can use it itself. 3. It is not clear who will actually need this interface to do the "nontrivial" filtering. Another argument is "enum uprobe_filter_ctx", consumer->filter() can use it to figure out why/where it was called. For example, perhaps we can add UPROBE_FILTER_PRE_REGISTER used by build_map_info() to quickly "nack" the unwanted mm's. In this case consumer should know that it is called under ->i_mmap_mutex. See the previous discussion at http://marc.info/?t=135214229700002 Perhaps we should pass more arguments, vma/vaddr? Note: this patch obviously can't help to filter out the child created by fork(), this will be addressed later.
