Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 2/3] ftrace: bpf: Fix IPMODIFY + DIRECT in modify_ftrace_direct()
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 00:12:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251024071257.3956031-3-song@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251024071257.3956031-1-song@kernel.org>
ftrace_hash_ipmodify_enable() checks IPMODIFY and DIRECT ftrace_ops on
the same kernel function. When needed, ftrace_hash_ipmodify_enable()
calls ops->ops_func() to prepare the direct ftrace (BPF trampoline) to
share the same function as the IPMODIFY ftrace (livepatch).
ftrace_hash_ipmodify_enable() is called in register_ftrace_direct() path,
but not called in modify_ftrace_direct() path. As a result, the following
operations will break livepatch:
1. Load livepatch to a kernel function;
2. Attach fentry program to the kernel function;
3. Attach fexit program to the kernel function.
After 3, the kernel function being used will not be the livepatched
version, but the original version.
Fix this by adding ftrace_hash_ipmodify_enable() to modify_ftrace_direct()
and adjust some logic around the call.
