Thank you for the report and patch!

Yes, there can be a race between probes and probe on irq handler.
kretprobe_hash_lock()/kretprobe_hash_unlock() are safe because
those disables irqs. Only recycle_rp_inst() has this problem.
Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhira...@kernel.org>
And this is one of the oldest bug in kprobe.
commit ef53d9c5e4da ("kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed
locking")
introduced the spin_lock(&rp->lock) in recycle_rp_inst() but forgot to disable
irqs.
And
commit c9becf58d935 ("[PATCH] kretprobe: kretprobe-booster")
introduced assembly-based trampoline which didn't disable irq.
Could you add Cc:stable to this patch too?
Thank you!!
