Masami, thanks very much for this! One issue with this approach is that it _always_ makes kprobes and kpatch incompatible when probing/patching the same function, even when kprobes doesn't need to touch regs->ip. Is it possible to add a kprobes flag (KPROBE_FLAG_IPMODIFY), which is only set by those kprobes users (just jprobes?) which need to modify IP? Then kprobes could only set the corresponding ftrace flag when it's really needed. And I think kprobes could even enforce the fact that !KPROBE_FLAG_IPMODIFY users don't change regs->ip. BTW, I've done some testing with this patch set by patching/probing the same function with FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY, and got some warnings. I saw the following warning when attempting to kpatch a kprobed function: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 18351 at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:419 __unregister_ftrace_function+0x1be/0x1d0() Modules linked in: kpatch_meminfo_string(OE+) kpatch(OE) stap_8d70d6e041605bd1e144cba4801652_14636(OE) rfcomm fuse ipt_MASQUERADE ccm xt_CHECKSUM tun ip6t_rpfilter ip6t_REJECT xt_conntrack bnep ebtable_nat ebtable_broute bridge stp llc ebtable_filter ebtables ip6table_nat nf_conntrack_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv6 nf_nat_ipv6 ip6table_mangle ip6table_security ip6table_raw ip6table_filter ip6_tables iptable_nat nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 nf_nat_ipv4 nf_nat nf_conntrack iptable_mangle iptable_security iptable_raw arc4 iwldvm mac80211 snd_hda_codec_hdmi snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hda_codec_generic x86_pkg_temp_thermal coretemp kvm_intel snd_hda_intel iTCO_wdt iTCO_vendor_support snd_hda_controller kvm snd_hda_codec iwlwifi snd_hwdep uvcvideo snd_seq videobuf2_vmalloc videobuf2_memops snd_seq_device videobuf2_core btusb v4l2_common snd_pcm videodev nfsd cfg80211 microcode e1000e bluetooth media thinkpad_acpi joydev sdhci_pci sdhci pcspkr serio_raw snd_timer i2c_i801 snd mmc_core auth_rpcgss mei_me mei lpc_ich mfd_core shpchp ptp pps_core wmi tpm_tis soundcore tpm rfkill nfs_acl lockd sunrpc dm_crypt i915 i2c_algo_bit drm_kms_helper drm crct10dif_pclmul crc32_pclmul crc32c_intel ghash_clmulni_intel i2c_core video CPU: 2 PID: 18351 Comm: insmod Tainted: G W OE 3.15.0-IPMODIFY+ #1 Hardware name: LENOVO 2356BH8/2356BH8, BIOS G7ET63WW (2.05 ) 11/12/2012 0000000000000000 00000000b39bd289 ffff8803b78d7bc0 ffffffff816f31ed 0000000000000000 ffff8803b78d7bf8 ffffffff8108914d ffffffffa07f9040 00000000fffffff0 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 ffff8803e7ac4200 Call Trace: [<ffffffff816f31ed>] dump_stack+0x45/0x56 [<ffffffff8108914d>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7d/0xa0 [<ffffffff8108927a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff81135bae>] __unregister_ftrace_function+0x1be/0x1d0 [<ffffffff81137294>] ftrace_startup+0x1e4/0x220 [<ffffffff81137313>] register_ftrace_function+0x43/0x60 [<ffffffffa07f6c84>] kpatch_register+0x664/0x830 [kpatch] [<ffffffffa0810000>] ? 0xffffffffa080ffff [<ffffffffa0810000>] ? 0xffffffffa080ffff [<ffffffffa0046194>] patch_init+0x194/0x1000 [kpatch_meminfo_string] [<ffffffffa0046000>] ? 0xffffffffa0045fff [<ffffffff81002144>] do_one_initcall+0xd4/0x210 [<ffffffff81059d43>] ? set_memory_nx+0x43/0x50 [<ffffffff81102e42>] load_module+0x1d92/0x25e0 [<ffffffff810feb60>] ? store_uevent+0x70/0x70 [<ffffffff811eba30>] ? kernel_read+0x50/0x80 [<ffffffff81103846>] SyS_finit_module+0xa6/0xd0 [<ffffffff81703179>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b That warning happened because __unregister_ftrace_function() doesn't expect FTRACE_OPS_FL_ENABLED to be cleared in the ftrace_startup error path.
