Current kprobes in-kernel page fault handler doesn't expect that its single-stepping can be interrupted by an NMI handler which may cause a page fault(e.g. perf with callback tracing). In that case, the page-fault handled by kprobes and it misunderstands the page-fault has been caused by the single-stepping code and tries to recover IP address to probed address. But the truth is the page-fault has been caused by the NMI handler, and do_page_fault failes to handle real page fault because the IP address is modified and causes Kernel BUGs like below. ---- [ 2264.726905] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020 [ 2264.727190] IP: [<ffffffff813c46e0>] copy_user_generic_string+0x0/0x40 To handle this correctly, I fixed the kprobes fault handler to ensure the faulted ip address is its own single-step buffer instead of checking current kprobe state.
