Before the 0bc11ed5ab60 commit ("kprobes: Allow kprobes coexist with
livepatch"), in a scenario where livepatch and kprobe coexist on the
same function entry, the creation of kprobe_event using
add_kprobe_event_legacy() will be successful, at the same time as a
trace event (e.g. /debugfs/tracing/events/kprobe/XXX) will exist, but
perf_event_open() will return an error because both livepatch and kprobe
use FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY. As follows:
1) add a livepatch
$ insmod livepatch-XXX.ko
2) add a kprobe using tracefs API (i.e. add_kprobe_event_legacy)
$ echo 'p:mykprobe XXX' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
3) enable this kprobe (i.e. sys_perf_event_open)
This will return an error, -EBUSY.
On Andrii Nakryiko's comment, few error paths in
bpf_program__attach_kprobe_opts() that should need to call
remove_kprobe_event_legacy().
With this patch, whenever an error is returned after
add_kprobe_event_legacy() or bpf_program__attach_perf_event_opts(), this
ensures that the created kprobe_event is cleaned.

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.
