[PATCH] arm: Add KPROBES_ON_FTRACE supported

From: Jinjie Ruan
Date: Thu Jun 13 2024 - 22:21:41 EST


Add support for kprobes on ftrace call sites to avoid much of the overhead
with regular kprobes. Try it with simple steps:

cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
echo 'p:myprobe sys_clone r0=%r0 r1=%r1 r2=%r2' > kprobe_events
echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable
echo 1 > events/kprobes/myprobe/enable
cat trace
# tracer: nop
#
# entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 2/2 #P:4

sh-75 [000] ..... 34.817804: myprobe: (sys_clone+0xc/0xa0) r0=0x1200011 r1=0x0 r2=0x0

cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list
