Yes, we can attach a bpf trampoline to bpf prog.

This is patched by bpf_arch_text_poke(), not ftrace.

bpf_arch_text_poke() is also called to patch other instructions, for
example, bpf_tramp_image_put() calls this to skip calling fexit bpf progs:
int err = bpf_arch_text_poke(im->ip_after_call, BPF_MOD_JUMP,
NULL, im->ip_epilogue);
Before this is called, a bpf trampoline looks like:
[...]
ip_after_call:
nop // to be patched
bl <fexit prog>
ip_epilogue:
bti j
[...]
After:
[...]
ip_after_call:
b <ip_epilogue> // patched
bl <fexit prog>
ip_epilogue:
bti j
[...]

Ah, bpf_arch_text_poke() only patches bpf progs, and the patch-site in
bpf prog prologue is constructed for bpf_arch_text_poke(), so we always
know the patch-site offset. There's no compiler generated instruction
here, so it seems to be not a problem.

The bpf_tramp_image_put() example above uses BPF_MOD_JUMP.

This function is NOT used for ftrace patch-site. It's only used to patch
bpf image.

IIUC, task rcu's critical section ends at a voluntary context switch,
since no volutary context switch occurs in a progoluge, when a task
rcu's critical section ends, we can ensure no one is running in the
prologue [1].
For bpf trampoline, the scenario is similar, except that it may sleep,
so a reference count is increased when entering the trampoline and
decreased when exiting the trampoline, so we can wait for the reference
count to become zero to make sure there is no one in the sleepable
region [2].
