So what happens is that the __jump_table entry for 424 is wrong. When we
enable that key (read msr tracepoint) the code will jump to another
instance of the read msr tracepoint and continue running from there.

So we'll jump from one inlined instance to another, with all the
ramifications thereof; the code-flow will be completely screwy.

Yes, its lines 25-29 ^ that generate the jump_table entries. The first
entry is the code location, the second is the jump target and the third
is a pointer (and two LSB state bits) to the key this belongs to.

The compiler emits .rela objects for these and this is what we use with
objtool -- just like a linker would to resolve and create the actual
__jump_table section.

So what we have here is two instances of the same read msr inline. They
have code in different offsets (+3e9 and +424 resp.) but somehow the
compiler messed up and collapsed their jump target (or didn't properly
de-duplicate -- I've no idea how inline instantiation actually works).

Yes, this is very very very bad. Like I wrote above, this results in
code flow moving from one inline'd instance into another, it completely
wrecks code flow integrity.

It looks like an inlining bug, and I a rare one at that. The static key
self-tests simply don't trigger this for whatever reason. Like Thomas
wrote, of all the jump_labels in the kernel, only 6 go 'funny' for
whatever reason.
