Sorry for the incorrect explaination in the comment. I don't think it's
reasonable to patch ftrace patch-site without ftrace code either.
The patching logic in register_fentry, unregister_fentry and
modify_fentry is as follows:
if (tr->func.ftrace_managed)
ret = register_ftrace_direct((long)ip, (long)new_addr);
else
ret = bpf_arch_text_poke(ip, BPF_MOD_CALL, NULL, new_addr,
true);
ftrace patch-site is patched by ftrace code. bpf_arch_text_poke() is
only used to patch bpf prog and bpf trampoline, which are not managed by
ftrace.

aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync() replaces an instruction atomically, so
no other CPUs will fetch a half-new and half-old instruction.
The scenario here is that there is a chance that another CPU fetches the
old instruction after bpf_arch_text_poke() finishes, that is, different
CPUs may execute different versions of instructions at the same time.
1. When a new trampoline is attached, it doesn't seem to be an issue for
different CPUs to jump to different trampolines temporarily.
2. When an old trampoline is freed, we should wait for all other CPUs to
exit the trampoline and make sure the trampoline is no longer reachable,
IIUC, bpf_tramp_image_put() function already uses percpu_ref and rcu
tasks to do this.
