Subject: [PATCH] bpf: mark get_entry_ip as __maybe_unused

Commit c09eb2e578eb1668bbc ("bpf: Adjust kprobe_multi entry_ip
for CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT") introduced the get_entry_ip() function.
Depending on CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT it is a static function or only
a macro definition. The only user of this symbol so far is in
kprobe_multi_link_handler() if CONFIG_FPROBE is enabled.
If CONFIG_FROBE is not set, the symbol is not used and - depending
on CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT - a warning for get_entry_ip() is emitted.
To solve this, the function should be marked as __maybe_unused.

Hi again,
after sending this out, I noticed this is only a problem in the stable
versions (starting from v6.0.3), as c09eb2e578eb1668bbc has been applied (as
03f148c159a250dd454) but not 0e253f7e558a3e250902 ("bpf: Return value in kprobe
get_func_ip only for entry address") which makes always use of get_entry_ip.
I therefore think, 0e253f7e558a3e250902 needs to be added to the stable v6.0
series as well as otherwise it can't be compiled with -Werror if
CONFIG_X6_KERNEL_IBT is set but CONFIG_FPROBE isn't.

Thanks for the info, Jonas. Added Greg wrt stable cherry-pick.

Oops, this breaks the build, now dropping.

Sorry, 0e253f7e558a3e250902 ("bpf: Return value in kprobe get_func_ip only for
entry address") uses the macro KPROBE_FLAG_ON_FUNC_ENTRY that was introduced
in bf7a87f1075f67c286f7 ("kprobes: Add new KPROBE_FLAG_ON_FUNC_ENTRY kprobe
flag"). Applying those on top of v6.0.7 fixes the original compilation problem
(CONFIG_X6_KERNEL_IBT but !CONFIG_FPROBE) and should not break anything

Please submit a set of backports that you have verified works properly
so that I know it is correct.
