Setting a kprobe on getname_flags() failed:
$ echo 'p:tmr1 getname_flags +0(%r2):ustring' > kprobe_events
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
Debugging the kprobes code showed that the address of
getname_flags() is contained in the __bug_table. Kprobes
doesn't allow to set probes at BUG() locations.
$ objdump -j __bug_table -x build/fs/namei.o

0000000000000108 R_390_PC32 .text+0x00000000000075a8
000000000000010c R_390_PC32 .L223+0x0000000000000004
I was expecting getname_flags() to start with a BUG(), but:
7598: e3 20 10 00 00 04 lg %r2,0(%r1)
759e: c0 f4 00 00 00 00 jg 759e <putname+0x7e>
75a0: R_390_PLT32DBL kmem_cache_free+0x2
75a4: a7 f4 00 01 j 75a6 <putname+0x86>
00000000000075a8 <getname_flags>:
75a8: c0 04 00 00 00 00 brcl 0,75a8 <getname_flags>
75ae: eb 6f f0 48 00 24 stmg %r6,%r15,72(%r15)
75b4: b9 04 00 ef lgr %r14,%r15
75b8: e3 f0 ff a8 ff 71 lay %r15,-88(%r15)
So the BUG() is actually the last opcode of the previous function.
Fix this by switching to using the MONITOR CALL (MC) instruction,
and set the entry in __bug_table to the beginning of that MC.
