From 56b3c85e153b84f27e6cff39623ba40a1ad299d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Song Liu song@kernel.org Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 10:50:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: Fix BPF fexit with livepatch
When livepatch is attached to the same function as bpf trampoline with a fexit program, bpf trampoline code calls register_ftrace_direct() twice. The first time will fail with -EAGAIN, and the second time it will succeed. This requires register_ftrace_direct() to unregister the address on the first attempt. Otherwise, the bpf trampoline cannot attach. Here is an easy way to reproduce this issue:
insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-sample.ko bpftrace -e 'fexit:cmdline_proc_show {}' ERROR: Unable to attach probe: fexit:vmlinux:cmdline_proc_show...
Fix this by cleaning up the hash when register_ftrace_function_nolock hits errors.
Also, move the code that resets ops->func and ops->trampoline to the error path of register_ftrace_direct(); and add a helper function reset_direct() in register_ftrace_direct() and unregister_ftrace_direct().
