The fprobe/multi-kprobe works fine in linux-next. bpf selftest for multi kprobe needs this hack: diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/kprobe_multi.c b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/kprobe_multi.c index af27d2c6fce8..530a64e2996a 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/kprobe_multi.c +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/kprobe_multi.c @@ -45,7 +45,7 @@ static void kprobe_multi_check(void *ctx, bool is_return) __u64 addr = bpf_get_func_ip(ctx); #define SET(__var, __addr, __cookie) ({ \ - if (((const void *) addr == __addr) && \ + if (((const void *) addr == __addr + 4) && \ (!test_cookie || (cookie == __cookie))) \ to pass when both CONFIG_FPROBE=y and CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT=y. The test is too strict. It didn't account for the possibility of endbr. So I'm inclined to drop only 4 arch patches instead of the whole thing.
