Alexei reported crash by running test_progs -j on system with 32 cpus. It turned out the kprobe_multi bench test that attaches all ftrace-able functions will race with bpf_dispatcher_update, that calls bpf_arch_text_poke on bpf_dispatcher_xdp_func, which is ftrace-able function. Ftrace is not aware of this update so this will cause ftrace_bug with: WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 1985 at arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:94 ftrace_verify_code+0x27/0x50 ... ftrace_replace_code+0xa3/0x170 ftrace_modify_all_code+0xbd/0x150 ftrace_startup_enable+0x3f/0x50 ftrace_startup+0x98/0xf0 register_ftrace_function+0x20/0x60 register_fprobe_ips+0xbb/0xd0 bpf_kprobe_multi_link_attach+0x179/0x430 __sys_bpf+0x18a1/0x2440 ... ------------[ ftrace bug ]------------ ftrace failed to modify [<ffffffff818d9380>] bpf_dispatcher_xdp_func+0x0/0x10 actual: ffffffe9:7b:ffffff9c:77:1e Setting ftrace call site to call ftrace function It looks like we need some way to way to hide some functions from ftrace, but meanwhile we workaround this by skipping bpf_dispatcher_xdp_func from kprobe_multi bench test.
