Now if this is that unlikely recursion mentioned below then ops->trampoline
will be NULL, and if we do that offset addition, it will be incorrect.

Perhaps we should add here:

if (!ops->trampoline)
return NULL;

I think when this will return NULL and then stop at orc_find:`if (ip == 0)` and return null_orc_entry.

And in ftrace_ops_trampoline: `if (op->trampoline && op->trampoline_size)` which promise !ops->trampoline when !ops.


IIUC the In unlikely recursion below means if orc_find(ftrace_call) can't find any orc it will enter orc_ftrace_find(ftrace_call).

If we dont check ip==caller then,

ftrace_ops_trampoline(ftrace_call) causes orc_find(ftrace_call) again (I'm not 100% sure it will)

and it will be trapped in recursion


When here is an offset we can still protect this scenario when orc_find(ftrace_caller + offset) and check ip == ftrace_caller + offset.


Let's add some comments.

Makes sense.

If the above explanation logic is fine, I'll add this comment and send v2.


/* Set tramp_addr to the start of the code copied by the trampoline */

if (ops->flags & FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS)
- caller = (unsigned long)ftrace_regs_call;
+ tramp_addr = (unsigned long)ftrace_regs_caller;
else
- caller = (unsigned long)ftrace_call;
+ tramp_addr = (unsigned long)ftrace_caller;
+
/* Now place tramp_addr to the location within the trampoline ip is at */

+ offset = ip - ops->trampoline;
+ tramp_addr += offset;
/* Prevent unlikely recursion */
- if (ip == caller)
+ if (ip == tramp_addr)
return NULL;
- return orc_find(caller);
+ return orc_find(tramp_addr);
}
#else
static struct orc_entry *orc_ftrace_find(unsigned long ip)

Best,
