Hi!
The second patch of this series caused some troubles on 5.15.y, I apologize
about it [1].
When I tested it locally, I needed to set CONFIG_LIVEPATCH, so
kallsyms_on_each_symbol() would be known at link time.
To cope with this problem, we need to backport the first patch of this series as
pointed by Guenter Roeck [2].
This patch is only needed for 5.15, indeed the dependencies on CONFIG_LIVEPATCH
for kallsyms_on_each_symbol() was added in 3e3552056ab4
("kallsyms: only build {,module_}kallsyms_on_each_symbol when required").
This commit was first added to kernel 5.12, as git indicates it:
$ git name-rev --tags --name-only 3e3552056ab4
v5.12-rc1~67^2~8
Moreover, the first patch of this series, i.e. d721def7392a
("kallsyms: Make kallsyms_on_each_symbol generally available") was first added
in:
$ git name-rev --tags --name-only d721def7392a
v5.19-rc1~159^2~4^2~38^2~4
So, my patch only needs the first patch for the 5.15 kernel.
Regarding these two patches, I built and tested the series for several
architectures:
* i386:
$ make ARCH=i386 defconfig kvm_guest.config
...
$ make ARCH=i386 -j$(nproc)
...

-bash: echo: write error: Cannot assign requested address
* x86_64:

...
$ make -j$(nproc)
...
Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#9)
$ bash run_extern_kernel.sh
...

5.15.140+ x86_64
root@vm-amd64:~# echo 'p:myprobe name_show' > /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events
-bash: echo: write error: Cannot assign requested address
* arm:
$ make ARCH=arm defconfig kvm_guest.config
...
$ make ARCH=arm menuconfig
# Add CONFIG_KPROBES
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- -j$(nproc)
...
Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready
$ bash run_extern_kernel.sh armel
...
root@vm-armel:~# uname -mr
5.15.140-00002-gd3fdc3ca50b5 armv7l
root@vm-armel:~# echo 'p:myprobe name_show' > /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events
-bash: echo: write error: Cannot assign requested address
* arm64:
$ make ARCH=arm64 defconfig kvm_guest.config
# Add CONFIG_KPROBES
...
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- -j$(nproc)
...
OBJCOPY arch/arm64/boot/Image
GZIP arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz
$ bash run_extern_kernel.sh arm64
...
root@vm-arm64:~# uname -mr
5.15.140-00002-gd3fdc3ca50b5 aarch64
root@vm-arm64:~# echo 'p:myprobe name_show' > /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events
-bash: echo: write error: Cannot assign requested address
If you see any ways to improve this patch, please share your feedback.

Making kallsyms_on_each_symbol generally available, so it can be
used outside CONFIG_LIVEPATCH option in following changes.
Rather than adding another ifdef option let's make the function
generally available (when CONFIG_KALLSYMS option is defined).

When a kprobe is attached to a function that's name is not unique (is
static and shares the name with other functions in the kernel), the
kprobe is attached to the first function it finds. This is a bug as the
function that it is attaching to is not necessarily the one that the
user wants to attach to.
Instead of blindly picking a function to attach to what is ambiguous,
error with EADDRNOTAVAIL to let the user know that this function is not
unique, and that the user must use another unique function with an
address offset to get to the function they want to attach to.

Please send a new, updated series for all branches that you wish this
series to go on, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, some sort of proof that this
actually works this time...
In other words, you need to test-build this on all arches and somehow
run-time test it as well, good luck!

I will take a look at TuxMake to ease this process [1].
But if someone has other tools to advise, feedback would be welcomed.
