When livepatch is attached to the same function as bpf trampoline with
a fexit program, bpf trampoline code calls register_ftrace_direct()
twice. The first time will fail with -EAGAIN, and the second time it
will succeed. This requires register_ftrace_direct() to unregister
the address on the first attempt. Otherwise, the bpf trampoline cannot
attach. Here is an easy way to reproduce this issue:
insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-sample.ko
bpftrace -e 'fexit:cmdline_proc_show {}'
ERROR: Unable to attach probe: fexit:vmlinux:cmdline_proc_show...
Fix this by cleaning up the hash when register_ftrace_function_nolock hits
errors.
