    ftrace: Be first to run code modification on modules · c1bf08ac
    Steven Rostedt 提交于
    If some other kernel subsystem has a module notifier, and adds a kprobe
    to a ftrace mcount point (now that kprobes work on ftrace points),
    when the ftrace notifier runs it will fail and disable ftrace, as well
    as kprobes that are attached to ftrace points.
    
    Here's the error:

     ftrace failed to modify [<ffffffffa0180000>] init_once+0x0/0x20 [fat]
      actual: cc:bb:d2:4b:e1
    
    A kprobe was added to the init_once() function in the fat module on load.
    But this happened before ftrace could have touched the code. As ftrace
    didn't run yet, the kprobe system had no idea it was a ftrace point and
    simply added a breakpoint to the code (0xcc in the cc:bb:d2:4b:e1).
    
    Then when ftrace went to modify the location from a call to mcount/fentry
    into a nop, it didn't see a call op, but instead it saw the breakpoint op
    and not knowing what to do with it, ftrace shut itself down.
    
    The solution is to simply give the ftrace module notifier the max priority.
    This should have been done regardless, as the core code ftrace modification
    also happens very early on in boot up. This makes the module modification
    closer to core modification.
