Song Shuai reported:
The list func (ftrace_ops_list_func) will be patched first
before the transition between old and new calls are set,
which fixed the race described in this commit `59338f75`.
While ftrace_trace_function changes from the list func to a
ftrace_ops func, like unregistering the klp_ops to leave the only
global_ops in ftrace_ops_list, the ftrace_[regs]_call will be
replaced with the list func although it already exists. So there
should be a condition to avoid this.
And suggested using another variable to keep track of what the ftrace
function is set to. But this could be simplified by using a helper
function that does the same with a static variable.

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.
