Setting a kprobe on getname_flags() failed: $ echo 'p:tmr1 getname_flags +0(%r2):ustring' > kprobe_events -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument Debugging the kprobes code showed that the address of getname_flags() is contained in the __bug_table. Kprobes doesn't allow to set probes at BUG() locations. $ objdump -j __bug_table -x build/fs/namei.o [..] 0000000000000108 R_390_PC32 .text+0x00000000000075a8 000000000000010c R_390_PC32 .L223+0x0000000000000004 I was expecting getname_flags() to start with a BUG(), but: 7598: e3 20 10 00 00 04 lg %r2,0(%r1) 759e: c0 f4 00 00 00 00 jg 759e <putname+0x7e> 75a0: R_390_PLT32DBL kmem_cache_free+0x2 75a4: a7 f4 00 01 j 75a6 <putname+0x86> 00000000000075a8 <getname_flags>: 75a8: c0 04 00 00 00 00 brcl 0,75a8 <getname_flags> 75ae: eb 6f f0 48 00 24 stmg %r6,%r15,72(%r15) 75b4: b9 04 00 ef lgr %r14,%r15 75b8: e3 f0 ff a8 ff 71 lay %r15,-88(%r15) So the BUG() is actually the last opcode of the previous function. Fix this by switching to using the MONITOR CALL (MC) instruction, and set the entry in __bug_table to the beginning of that MC.
