Rather, they are mmaped directly from within the archive and the archive is also what the kernel is aware of. For users that complicates the process of attaching a uprobe to a function contained in a shared object in one such APK: they'd have to find the byte offset of said function from the beginning of the archive. That is cumbersome to do manually and can be fragile, because various changes could invalidate said offset. That is why for uprobes inside ELF files (not inside an APK), commit d112c9ce249b ("libbpf: Support function name-based attach uprobes") added support for attaching to symbols by name. On Android, that mechanism currently does not work, because this logic is not APK aware. This patch set introduces first class support for attaching uprobes to functions inside ELF objects contained in APKs via function names. We add support for recognizing the following syntax for a binary path: !/ (e.g., /system/app/test-app.apk!/lib/arm64-v8a/libc++.so) This syntax is common in the Android eco system and used by tools such as simpleperf. It is also what is being proposed for bcc [0]. If the user provides such a binary path, we find (lib/arm64-v8a/libc++.so in the example) inside of (/system/app/test-app.apk). We perform the regular ELF offset search inside the binary and add that to the offset within the archive itself, to retrieve the offset at which to attach the uprobe.
