I'm trying for a while to do a fentry/fexit trace an EXT program
attached to an XDP program. To make it easier to explain I've
created a test case (see patch below) to show the issue.

Without the changes to test_xdp_bpf2bpf.c I'll get the following error:

   libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG ---
   libbpf:

   Unrecognized arg#0 type PTR

   invalid bpf_context access off=0 size=8

With the change I get the following (but I do feel this change
should not be needed):

   libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG ---
   libbpf:
   Unrecognized arg#0 type PTR
   ; int trace_on_entry(struct xdp_buff *xdp)
   0: (bf) r6 = r1
   ; void *data = (void *)(long)xdp->data;
   1: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r6 +0)
   invalid bpf_context access off=0 size=8

Any idea what could be the case here? The same fentry/fexit attach
code works fine in the xdp_bpf2bpf.c tests case.

I think this is not supported now. That is, you cannot attach a fentry trace to the EXT program. The current implementation for fentry program simply trying to find and match the signature of freplace program which by default
is a pointer to void.

It is doable in that in kernel we could recognize to-be-attached program is a freplace and further trace down to find the real signature. The related kernel function is btf_get_prog_ctx_type(). You can try to implement by yourself
or I can have a patch for this once bpf-next opens.

I’m not familiar with this area of the code, so if you could prepare a patch that would nice. You can also send it to me before bpf-next opens and I can verify it, and clean up the self-test so it can be included as well.
