Ziqian reported lockup when adding retprobe on _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.
My test was also able to trigger lockdep output:
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
5.6.0-rc6+ #6 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
sched-messaging/2767 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffff9a492798 (&(kretprobe_table_locks[i].lock)){-.-.}, at: kretprobe_hash_lock+0x52/0xa0
but task is already holding lock:
ffffffff9a491a18 (&(kretprobe_table_locks[i].lock)){-.-.}, at: kretprobe_trampoline+0x0/0x50
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(&(kretprobe_table_locks[i].lock));
lock(&(kretprobe_table_locks[i].lock));
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation

The code within the kretprobe handler checks for probe reentrancy,
so we won't trigger any _raw_spin_lock_irqsave probe in there.
The problem is in outside kprobe_flush_task, where we call:
kprobe_flush_task
kretprobe_table_lock
raw_spin_lock_irqsave
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave
where _raw_spin_lock_irqsave triggers the kretprobe and installs
kretprobe_trampoline handler on _raw_spin_lock_irqsave return.
The kretprobe_trampoline handler is then executed with already
locked kretprobe_table_locks, and first thing it does is to
lock kretprobe_table_locks ;-) the whole lockup path like:
kprobe_flush_task
kretprobe_table_lock
raw_spin_lock_irqsave
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave ---> probe triggered, kretprobe_trampoline installed
---> kretprobe_table_locks locked
kretprobe_trampoline
trampoline_handler
kretprobe_hash_lock(current, &head, &flags); <--- deadlock
Adding kprobe_busy_begin/end helpers that mark code with fake
probe installed to prevent triggering of another kprobe within
this code.
Using these helpers in kprobe_flush_task, so the probe recursion
protection check is hit and the probe is never set to prevent
above lockup.

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.
