[PATCH 0/4] Make fpobe + rethook immune to recursion

Current fprobe and rethook has some pitfalls and may introduce kernel stack recusion, especially in
massive tracing scenario.

For example, if (DEBUG_PREEMPT | TRACE_PREEMPT_TOGGLE) , preempt_count_{add, sub} can be traced via
ftrace, if we happens to use fprobe + rethook based on ftrace to hook on those functions, 
recursion is introduced in functions like rethook_trampoline_handler and leads to kernel crash
because of stack overflow.

This bug is found via tool retsnoop which internally uses bpf based on fprobe + rethook
Discussion of this bug can be found here:
  Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230510122045.2259-1-zegao@tencent.com/

This patch series fix this problem by adding more recursion detection in each possible entry
functions, and also mark these specific to fprobe or rethook which are beyond the recusion-free
guarded region notrace. 


Ze Gao (4):
  rethook: use preempt_{disable, enable}_notrace in
    rethook_trampoline_handler
  fprobe: make fprobe_kprobe_handler recursion free
  fprobe: add recursion detection in fprobe_exit_handler
  rehook, fprobe: mark rethook related functions notrace
