Right, so removal of the tracepoint probe is done by
tracepoint_probe_unregister by effectively removing the
probe function from the array. The read-side counterpart
of that is in __DO_TRACE(), where the rcu dereference is
protected by rcu_read_lock_trace for syscall tracepoints
now.

We cannot expect that surrounding the ebpf probe execution
with preempt disable like so:

#define __BPF_DECLARE_TRACE_SYSCALL(call, proto, args)                  \
static notrace void                                                     \
__bpf_trace_##call(void *__data, proto)                                 \
{                                                                       \
         might_fault();                                                  \
         preempt_disable_notrace();                                      \
         CONCATENATE(bpf_trace_run, COUNT_ARGS(args))(__data, CAST_TO_U64(args));        \
         preempt_enable_notrace();                                       \
}

Is sufficient to delay reclaim with call_rcu() after a tracepoint
unregister, because the preempt disable does not include the rcu
dereference done by the tracepoint in its critical section.

So relying on a call_rcu() to delay reclaim of the bpf objects
after unregistering their associated tracepoint is indeed not
enough. Chaining call_rcu with call_rcu_tasks_trace works though.

That question is relevant for ftrace and perf too: are there data
structures that are reclaimed with call_rcu() after being unregistered
from syscall tracepoints ?

Thanks Jordan for your thorough analysis,

Mathieu
