In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fprobe: Release rethook after the ftrace_ops is unregistered

While running bpf selftests its possible to get following fault:

general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC NOPTI … Call Trace: fprobe_handler+0xc1/0x270 ? __pfx_bpf_testmod_init+0x10/0x10 ? __pfx_bpf_testmod_init+0x10/0x10 ? bpf_fentry_test1+0x5/0x10 ? bpf_fentry_test1+0x5/0x10 ? bpf_testmod_init+0x22/0x80 ? do_one_initcall+0x63/0x2e0 ? rcu_is_watching+0xd/0x40 ? kmalloc_trace+0xaf/0xc0 ? do_init_module+0x60/0x250 ? __do_sys_finit_module+0xac/0x120 ? do_syscall_64+0x37/0x90 ? entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x72/0xdc

In unregister_fprobe function we cant release fp->rethook while its possible there are some of its users still running on another cpu.

Moving rethook_free call after fp->ops is unregistered with unregister_ftrace_function call.
