Synopsis

int pt_image_remove_by_filename(struct pt_image *image,

                                const char *filename,

Description

pt_image_remove_by_filename() removes all sections from image that were added by a call to pt_image_add_file(3) with an identical filename argument or by a call to pt_image_copy(3) from such a section. Sections that are based on the same underlying file but that were added using a different filename argument are not removed.

If the asid argument is not NULL, it removes only sections that were added with a matching address-space identifier. See pt_image_add_file(3).

pt_image_remove_by_asid(3) removes all sections from image that were added by a call to pt_image_add_file(3) with a matching asid argument or by a call to pt_image_copy(3) from such a section. See pt_image_add_file(3).

Two pt_asid objects match in their “cr3* or vmcs field if one of them does not provide the field (i.e. sets it to pt_asid_no_cr3 or pt_asid_no_vmcs respectively) or if the provided values are identical. Two pt_asid objects match if they match in all fields.

Return Value

Both functions return the number of sections removed on success or a negative pt_error_code enumeration constant in case of an error.

Errors

pte_invalid

The image argument is NULL or the filename argument is NULL (pt_image_remove_by_filename() only).

Example

int foo(struct pt_image *image, uint64_t cr3) {
    struct pt_asid asid1, asid2;
    int errcode;

    pt_asid_init(&asid1);
    asid1.cr3 = cr3;

    pt_asid_init(&asid2);
    asid2.cr3 = ~cr3;

    errcode = pt_image_add_file(image, "/path/to/libfoo.so",
                                0xa000, 0x100, &asid1, 0xb000);
    if (errcode < 0)
        return errcode;

    errcode = pt_image_add_file(image, "rel/path/to/libfoo.so",
                                0xa000, 0x100, &asid1, 0xc000);
    if (errcode < 0)
        return errcode;

    /* This call would only remove the section added first:
     *
     * - filename matches only the first section's filename
     * - NULL matches every asid
     */
    (void) pt_image_remove_by_filename(image,
                                       "/path/to/libfoo.so",
                                       NULL);

    /* This call would not remove any of the above sections:

    (void) pt_image_remove_by_filename(image,
                                       "/path/to/libfoo.so",
                                       &asid2);

    /* This call would not remove any of the above sections:
     *
     * - asid2 does not match asid1
     */
    (void) pt_image_remove_by_asid(image, &asid2);

    /* This call would remove both sections:
     *
     * - asid1 matches itself
     */
    (void) pt_image_remove_by_asid(image, &asid1);

    /* This call would remove both sections:
     *
     * - NULL matches every asid
     */
    (void) pt_image_remove_by_asid(image, NULL);
