uprobe: Find last occurrence of ':' when parsing uprobe PATH:OFFSET
commit 6496bb7 upstream.
Previously, `create_trace_uprobe` found the *first* occurence
of the ':' character when parsing `PATH:OFFSET` for a uprobe.
However, if the path contains a ':' character, then the function
would parse the path incorrectly. Even worse, if the path does not
exist, the subsequent call to `kern_path()` would set `ret` to
`ENOENT`, leading to very cryptic errno values in user space.
The fix is to find the *last* occurence of ':'.
How to repro:: The write fails with "No such file or directory", suggesting
incorrectly that the `uprobe_events` file does not exist.
$ mkdir testing && cd testing
$ cp /bin/bash .
$ cp /bin/bash ./bash:with:colon
$ echo "p:uprobes/p__root_testing_bash_0x6 /root/testing/bash:0x6" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events # this works
$ echo "p:uprobes/p__root_testing_bash_with_colon_0x6 /root/testing/bash:with:colon:0x6" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events # this doesn't
-bash: echo: write error: No such file or directory
With the patch:
$ echo "p:uprobes/p__root_testing_bash_0x6 /root/testing/bash:0x6" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events # this still works
$ echo "p:uprobes/p__root_testing_bash_with_colon_0x6 /root/testing/bash:with:colon:0x6" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events # this works now too!
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
p:uprobes/p__root_testing_bash_0x6 /root/testing/bash:0x0000000000000006
p:uprobes/p__root_testing_bash_with_colon_0x6 /root/testing/bash:with:colon:0x0000000000000006
