You need to look deeper ;-)

No there isn't.

I added the addresses it was mapping and found this:

ffffffffa828f680 T __bpf_tramp_exit

(which is relocated, but it's trivial to map it with the actual function).

At the end of that function we have:

ffffffff8128f767:       48 8d bb e0 00 00 00    lea    0xe0(%rbx),%rdi
ffffffff8128f76e:       48 8b 40 08             mov    0x8(%rax),%rax
ffffffff8128f772:       e8 89 28 d7 00          call   ffffffff82002000 <__x86_indirect_thunk_array>
                        ffffffff8128f773: R_X86_64_PLT32        __x86_indirect_thunk_rax-0x4
ffffffff8128f777:       e9 4a ff ff ff          jmp    ffffffff8128f6c6 <__bpf_tramp_exit+0x46>
ffffffff8128f77c:       0f 1f 40 00             nopl   0x0(%rax)
ffffffff8128f780:       e8 8b df dc ff          call   ffffffff8105d710 <__fentry__>
                        ffffffff8128f781: R_X86_64_PLT32        __fentry__-0x4
ffffffff8128f785:       b8 f4 fd ff ff          mov    $0xfffffdf4,%eax
ffffffff8128f78a:       c3                      ret    
ffffffff8128f78b:       0f 1f 44 00 00          nopl   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)


Notice the call to fentry!

It's due to this:

void notrace __bpf_tramp_exit(struct bpf_tramp_image *tr)
{
	percpu_ref_put(&tr->pcref);
}

int __weak
arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline(struct bpf_tramp_image *tr, void *image, void *image_end,
			    const struct btf_func_model *m, u32 flags,
			    struct bpf_tramp_progs *tprogs,
			    void *orig_call)
{
	return -ENOTSUPP;
}

The weak function gets a call to ftrace, but it still gets compiled into
vmlinux but its symbol is dropped due to it being overridden. Thus, the
mcount_loc finds this call to fentry, and maps it to the symbol that is
before it, which just happened to be __bpf_tramp_exit.

I made that weak function "notrace" and the __bpf_tramp_exit disappeared
from the available_filter_functions list.
