[0] We can\neasily reproduce this issue.\n\n1. Write 0 to /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled.\n\n # echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled\n\n2. Run execsnoop. At this time, one kprobe is disabled.\n\n # /usr/share/bcc/tools/execsnoop &\n [1] 2460\n PCOMM PID PPID RET ARGS\n\n # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list\n ffffffff91345650 r __x64_sys_execve+0x0 [FTRACE]\n ffffffff91345650 k __x64_sys_execve+0x0 [DISABLED][FTRACE]\n\n3. Write 1 to /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled, which changes\n kprobes_all_disarmed to false but does not arm the disabled kprobe.\n\n # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled\n\n # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list\n ffffffff91345650 r __x64_sys_execve+0x0 [FTRACE]\n ffffffff91345650 k __x64_sys_execve+0x0 [DISABLED][FTRACE]\n\n4. Kill execsnoop, when __disable_kprobe() calls disarm_kprobe() for the\n disabled kprobe and hits the WARN_ONCE() in __disarm_kprobe_ftrace().\n\n # fg\n /usr/share/bcc/tools/execsnoop\n ^C\n\nActually, WARN_ONCE() is fired twice, and __unregister_kprobe_top() misses\nsome cleanups and leaves the aggregated kprobe in the hash table. Then,\n__unregister_trace_kprobe() initialises tk->rp.kp.list and creates an\ninfinite loop like this.\n\n aggregated kprobe.list -> kprobe.list -.\n ^ |\n '.__.'\n\nIn this situation, these commands fall into the infinite loop and result\nin RCU stall or soft lockup.\n\n cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list : show_kprobe_addr() enters into the\n infinite loop with RCU.\n\n /usr/share/bcc/tools/execsnoop : warn_kprobe_rereg() holds kprobe_mutex,\n and __get_valid_kprobe() is stuck in\n\t\t\t\t the loop.\n\nTo avoid the issue, make sure we don't call disarm_kprobe() for disabled\nkprobes.\n\n[0]\nFailed to disarm kprobe-ftrace at __x64_sys_execve+0x0/0x40 (error -2)\nWARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 2460 at kernel/kprobes.c:1130 __disarm_kprobe_ftrace.isra.19
