A fprobe_blacklist might make sense indeed as fprobe and kprobe are 
quite different... Thanks for working on this.

Hmm, I think I see the problem:

fprobe_kprobe_handler() {
   kprobe_busy_begin() {
      preempt_disable() {
         preempt_count_add() {  <-- trace
            fprobe_kprobe_handler() {
		[ wash, rinse, repeat, CRASH!!! ]

Either the kprobe_busy_begin() needs to use preempt_disable_notrace()
versions, or fprobe_kprobe_handle() needs a
ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() call.

Oops, I got it. Is preempt_count_add() tracable? If so, kprobe_busy_begin()
should be updated.

Thanks,

-- Steve
