Thomas Richter reported a crash in linux-next with a backtrace similar
to the following one:
[<0000000000000000>] 0x0
([<000000000031a182>] bpf_trace_run4+0xc2/0x218)

Last Breaking-Event-Address:
[<000003ff7fda1814>] bpf_prog_65e887c70a835bbf_on_switch+0x1a4/0x1f0
The problem is that bpf_arch_text_poke() with new_addr == NULL is
susceptible to the following race condition:
T1 T2
----------------- -------------------
plt.target = NULL
entry: brcl 0xf,plt
entry.mask = 0
lgrl %r1,plt.target
br %r1
Fix by setting PLT target to the instruction following `brcl 0xf,plt`
instead of 0. This way T2 will simply resume the execution of the eBPF
program, which is the desired effect of passing new_addr == NULL.

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.
