We found a case of kernel panic on our server. The stack trace is as
follows(omit some irrelevant information):

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000080

  Call Trace:
   <IRQ>
   ftrace_ops_assist_func+0x56/0xe0
   ftrace_call+0x5/0x34
   tcpa_statistic_send+0x5/0x130 [ttcp_engine]

The tcpa_statistic_send is the function being kprobed. After analysis,
the root cause is that the fourth parameter regs of kprobe_ftrace_handler
is NULL. Why regs is NULL? We use the crash tool to analyze the kdump.

  crash> dis tcpa_statistic_send -r
         <tcpa_statistic_send>: callq 0xffffffffbd8018c0 <ftrace_caller>

The tcpa_statistic_send calls ftrace_caller instead of ftrace_regs_caller.
So it is reasonable that the fourth parameter regs of kprobe_ftrace_handler
is NULL. In theory, we should call the ftrace_regs_caller instead of the
ftrace_caller. After in-depth analysis, we found a reproducible path.

  Writing a simple kernel module which starts a periodic timer. The
  timer's handler is named 'kprobe_test_timer_handler'. The module
  name is kprobe_test.ko.

  1) insmod kprobe_test.ko
  2) bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:kprobe_test_timer_handler {}'
  3) echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
  4) rmmod kprobe_test
  5) stop step 2) kprobe
  6) insmod kprobe_test.ko
  7) bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:kprobe_test_timer_handler {}'

We mark the kprobe as GONE but not disarm the kprobe in the step 4).
The step 5) also do not disarm the kprobe when unregister kprobe. So
we do not remove the ip from the filter. In this case, when the module
loads again in the step 6), we will replace the code to ftrace_caller
via the ftrace_module_enable(). When we register kprobe again, we will
not replace ftrace_caller to ftrace_regs_caller because the ftrace is
disabled in the step 3). So the step 7) will trigger kernel panic. Fix
this problem by disarming the kprobe when the module is going away.
