 What about kvm-intel.ko and kvm-amd.ko?  They also contain markers.

vmx_exit and svm_exit() all calls into kvm_exit(), so they have been
handled in a common way.

 (and, why doesn't module unload do this automatically?)

Maybe most modules don't need it for now?

Thanks,

OK I got a better answer: because marker_synchronize_unregister() must
be called after marker_probe_unregister() calls and the tear down of
any private data the trace functions rely on. So there are no
automatic way.

Below is the updated patch.

Thanks,

Prevent trace call into torn down text or data

Add marker_synchronize_unregister() immediately after probe unregisters.
This prevents possible trace calls into unloaded module text, or the
trace functions accessing invalidated data.
