Currently we allow to create kprobe multi link on function from kernel module, but we don't take the module reference to ensure it's not unloaded while we are tracing it. The multi kprobe link is based on fprobe/ftrace layer which takes different approach and releases ftrace hooks when module is unloaded even if there's tracer registered on top of it. Adding code that gathers all the related modules for the link and takes their references before it's attached. All kernel module references are released after link is unregistered. Note that we do it the same way already for trampoline probes (but for single address).

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.
