Currently, the pointer stored in call->prog_array is loaded in __uprobe_perf_func(), with no RCU annotation and no immediately visible RCU protection, so it looks as if the loaded pointer can immediately be dangling. Later, bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe() starts a RCU-trace read-side critical section, but this is too late. It then uses rcu_dereference_check(), but this use of rcu_dereference_check() does not actually dereference anything. Fix it by aligning the semantics to bpf_prog_run_array(): Let the caller provide rcu_read_lock_trace() protection and then load call->prog_array with rcu_dereference_check(). This issue seems to be theoretical: I don't know of any way to reach this code without having handle_swbp() further up the stack, which is already holding a rcu_read_lock_trace() lock, so where we take rcu_read_lock_trace() in __uprobe_perf_func()/bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe() doesn't actually have any effect.
