Nicolai Stange discovered[1] that if live kernel patching is enabled, and the function tracer started tracing the same function that was patched, the conversion of the fentry call site during the translation of going from calling the live kernel patch trampoline to the iterator trampoline, would have as slight window where it didn't call anything.
As live kernel patching depends on ftrace to always call its code (to prevent the function being traced from being called, as it will redirect it). This small window would allow the old buggy function to be called, and this can cause undesirable results.
Nicolai submitted new patches[2] but these were controversial. As this is similar to the static call emulation issues that came up a while ago[3]. But after some debate[4][5] adding a gap in the stack when entering the breakpoint handler allows for pushing the return address onto the stack to easily emulate a call.
