44 // Implements a patching mechanism that overwrites the first few bytes of
45 // a function preamble with a jump to our hook function, which is then
46 // able to call the original function via a specially-made preamble-stub
47 // that imitates the action of the original preamble.
49 // NOTE: This patching mechanism should currently only be used for
50 // non-production code, e.g. unit tests, because it is not threadsafe.
51 // See the TODO in preamble_patcher_with_stub.cc for instructions on what
52 // we need to do before using it in production code; it's fairly simple
53 // but unnecessary for now since we only intend to use it in unit tests.
55 // To patch a function, use either of the typesafe Patch() methods. You
56 // can unpatch a function using Unpatch().
58 // Typical usage goes something like this:
60 // typedef int (*MyTypesafeFuncPtr)(int x);
61 // MyTypesafeFuncPtr original_func_stub;
62 // int MyTypesafeFunc(int x) { return x + 1; }
63 // int HookMyTypesafeFunc(int x) { return 1 + original_func_stub(x); }
65 // void MyPatchInitializingFunction() {
66 // original_func_stub = PreamblePatcher::Patch(
67 // MyTypesafeFunc, HookMyTypesafeFunc);
68 // if (!original_func_stub) {
69 // // ... error handling ...
72 // // ... continue - you have patched the function successfully ...
76 // Note that there are a number of ways that this method of patching can
77 // fail. The most common are:
78 // - If there is a jump (jxx) instruction in the first 5 bytes of
79 // the function being patched, we cannot patch it because in the
80 // current implementation we do not know how to rewrite relative
81 // jumps after relocating them to the preamble-stub. Note that
82 // if you really really need to patch a function like this, it
83 // would be possible to add this functionality (but at some cost).
84 // - If there is a return (ret) instruction in the first 5 bytes
85 // we cannot patch the function because it may not be long enough
86 // for the jmp instruction we use to inject our patch.
87 // - If there is another thread currently executing within the bytes
88 // that are copied to the preamble stub, it will crash in an undefined
91 // If you get any other error than the above, you're either pointing the
92 // patcher at an invalid instruction (e.g. into the middle of a multi-
93 // byte instruction, or not at memory containing executable instructions)
94 // or, there may be a bug in the disassembler we use to find
95 // instruction boundaries.
97 // NOTE: In optimized builds, when you have very trivial functions that
98 // the compiler can reason do not have side effects, the compiler may
99 // reuse the result of calling the function with a given parameter, which
100 // may mean if you patch the function in between your patch will never get
101 // invoked. See preamble_patcher_test.cc for an example.
