I am hoping that Andrii and Jiri (cc'ed) can take a look, I know nothing
about usdt... And TBH, I don't even know what RELRO is ;)
Let me ask a couple of questions for now.

Perhaps you can provide the test-case which I could compile on my
machine without libbpf-usdt/usdt.h?
And can you explain what the bpftrace cmd above actually does? I mean,
where does it put the uprobe? I guess the ref_ctr_offset argument of
uprobe_register() refers to USDT_DEFINE_SEMA() in that test-case...

So, 2 vmas map the same binary, install_breakpoint() is called twice.
But, the 2nd install_breakpoint() -> ... -> uprobe_write() should see
that the original insn was already replaced by int3, in this case
verify_opcode() returns 0 and uprobe_write() should do nothing.
And, if this uprobe was optimized before the 2nd install_breakpoint(),
uprobe_write() won't be called.
Hmm.

Well, but then it makes more sense to change valid_vma() to nack the
non VM_EXEC mappings ?
Oleg.
