Hi,
Here is the 6th version of the series of patches which introduces IPMODIFY flag for ftrace_ops to detect conflicts of ftrace users who can modify regs->ip in their handler.
This version is basically an update of previous version to the latest ftrace/core tree.
Currently, only kprobes can change the regs->ip in the handler, but recent Kernel Live Patching also changes it.
Here we talked on github. https://github.com/dynup/kpatch/issues/47
To protect modified regs-ip from each other, this series introduces FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY flag and ftrace now ensures the flag can be set on each function entry location. If there is someone who already reserve regs->ip on target function entry, ftrace_set_filter_ip or register_ftrace_function will return -EBUSY. Users must handle that. The ftrace_ops with IPMODIFY flag requires at least one entry for filter hash, and its notrace_hash must be empty, because the IPMODIFY action is very address sensitve and user must consider the ip address.
Thank you,
