Subject: [PATCH 4/8] kprobes: Switch ftrace ops when adding probe with post_handler
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2026 08:58:54 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <179375033462.247640.15676311043239442590.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <179375029807.247640.13024754173032838618.stgit@devnote2>

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

When an ftrace-based kprobe is registered without a post_handler, it is
armed using kprobe_ftrace_ops. If a second probe with a post_handler is
subsequently registered at the same address, register_aggr_kprobe() sets
ap->post_handler to aggr_post_handler, but leaves the probe armed using
kprobe_ftrace_ops.

When the probe is later disarmed or disabled, disarm_kprobe_ftrace()
checks whether p->post_handler is non-NULL and attempts to disarm from
kprobe_ipmodify_ops. This fails with -ENOENT, decrements
kprobe_ipmodify_enabled below zero, leaves the probe armed on
kprobe_ftrace_ops, and aborts unregistration, leading to a use-after-free
if the probe module is unloaded.

Switch the armed probe from kprobe_ftrace_ops to kprobe_ipmodify_ops in
register_aggr_kprobe() outside of text_mutex and cpus_read_lock to avoid
lockdep and deadlock issues when modifying ftrace code. Also restore
ftrace ops registration and counter if ftrace_set_filter_ip() fails in
__disarm_kprobe_ftrace().

Fixes: 5dd7caf0bdc5 ("kprobes: Skip clearing aggrprobe's post_handler in kprobe-on-ftrace case")
