hi,
David reported a crash related to return kprobes.
The change below tries to explain it and fix it,
but I'm sending it as RFC because I don't follow
kprobes code that much, so I might have missed
something.
thanks,
jirka

We can call recycle_rp_inst from both task and irq contexts,
so we should use irqsave/irqrestore locking functions.
I wasn't able to hit this particular lockup, but I found it
while checking on why return probe on _raw_spin_lock locks
the system, reported by David by using bpftrace on simple
script, like:
kprobe:_raw_spin_lock
{
@time[tid] = nsecs;
@symb[tid] = arg0;
}
kretprobe:_raw_spin_lock
/ @time[tid] /
{
delete(@time[tid]);
delete(@symb[tid]);
}
or by perf tool:
# perf probe -a _raw_spin_lock:%return
# perf record -e probe:_raw_spin_lock__return -a
The thing is that the _raw_spin_lock call in recycle_rp_inst,
is the only one that return-probe-code-paths call, and it
triggers another kprobe instance while already processing one
and locks up on kretprobe_table_lock lock:

When we switch it to raw_spin_lock_irqsave the return probe
on _raw_spin_lock starts working.
