IPMODIFY (livepatch) and DIRECT (bpf trampoline) ops are both important users of ftrace. It is necessary to allow them work on the same function at the same time. First, DIRECT ops no longer specify IPMODIFY flag. Instead, DIRECT flag is handled together with IPMODIFY flag in __ftrace_hash_update_ipmodify(). Then, a callback function, ops_func, is added to ftrace_ops. This is used by ftrace core code to understand whether the DIRECT ops can share with an IPMODIFY ops. To share with IPMODIFY ops, the DIRECT ops need to implement the callback function and adjust the direct trampoline accordingly. If DIRECT ops is attached before the IPMODIFY ops, ftrace core code calls ENABLE_SHARE_IPMODIFY_PEER on the DIRECT ops before registering the IPMODIFY ops. If IPMODIFY ops is attached before the DIRECT ops, ftrace core code calls ENABLE_SHARE_IPMODIFY_SELF in __ftrace_hash_update_ipmodify. Owner of the DIRECT ops may return 0 if the DIRECT trampoline can share with IPMODIFY, so error code otherwise. The error code is propagated to register_ftrace_direct_multi so that onwer of the DIRECT trampoline can handle it properly. For more details, please refer to comment before enum ftrace_ops_cmd.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
