[PATCH v2] ftrace: return first found result in lookup_rec()

From: Artem Savkov
Date: Fri Mar 06 2020 - 12:43:30 EST


It appears that ip ranges can overlap so. In that case lookup_rec()
returns whatever results it got last even if it found nothing in last
searched page.

This breaks an obscure livepatch late module patching usecase:
- load livepatch
- load the patched module
- unload livepatch
- try to load livepatch again

To fix this return from lookup_rec() as soon as it found the record
containing searched-for ip. This used to be this way prior lookup_rec()
introduction.

v2: break instead of two returns

Fixes: 7e16f581a817 ("ftrace: Separate out functionality from ftrace_location_range()")
