In register_ftrace_function_probe(), we are not checking the return
value of alloc_and_copy_ftrace_hash(). The subsequent call to
ftrace_match_records() may end up dereferencing the same. Add a check to
ensure this doesn't happen.

filter_hash.
Fix this by just checking for a NULL filter_hash in t_probe_next(). If
the filter_hash is NULL, then this probe is just being added and we can
simply return from here.

Two patches addressing bugs in ftrace function probe handling. The first
patch addresses a NULL pointer dereference reported by LTP tests, while
the second one is a trivial patch to address a missing check for return
value, found by code inspection.

We felt we don't need it in this case. We patch the branch to ftrace
with a nop first. Other cpus should see t
Hi Steven,
Thanks for the review!

resolve this, have [dis]arm_kprobe_ftrace() use ftrace_function() to
identify the filter IP.

uction is indeed the

instruction between the 'mflr r0' and the 'bl _mcount'. This is harmless
as the 'std r0,stack' instruction is inconsequential and is not relied
upon.

Since ftrace_replace_code() is a __weak function and can be overridden,
we need to expose the flags that can be set. So, move the flags enum to
the header file.
