Changes v2 => v3: 1. Major rewrite after discussions with Steven Rostedt. [1] 2. Remove SHARE_IPMODIFY flag from ftrace code. Instead use the callback function to communicate this information. (Steven) 3. Add cleanup_direct_functions_after_ipmodify() to clear SHARE_IPMODIFY on the DIRECT ops when the IPMODIFY ops is removed. Changes v1 => v2: 1. Fix build errors for different config. (kernel test robot) Kernel Live Patch (livepatch, or klp) and bpf trampoline are important features for modern systems. This set allows the two to work on the same kernel function as the same time. live patch uses ftrace with IPMODIFY, while bpf trampoline use direct ftrace. Existing policy does not allow the two to attach to the same kernel function. This is changed by fine tuning ftrace IPMODIFY policy, and allows one IPMODIFY ftrace_ops and one DIRECT ftrace_ops on the same kernel function at the same time. Please see patch 2 and 4 for more details. Note that, one of the constraint here is to let bpf trampoline use direct call when it is not working on the same function as live patch. This is achieved by allowing ftrace code to ask bpf trampoline to make changes.
