Linus,

Have ftrace lookup_rec() return a consistent record otherwise it
can break live patching.


Please pull the latest trace-v5.6-rc4 tree, which can be found at:

    ftrace: Return the first found result in lookup_rec()
    
    It appears that ip ranges can overlap so. In that case lookup_rec()
    returns whatever results it got last even if it found nothing in last
    searched page.
    
    This breaks an obscure livepatch late module patching usecase:
      - load livepatch
      - load the patched module
      - unload livepatch
      - try to load livepatch again
    
    To fix this return from lookup_rec() as soon as it found the record
    containing searched-for ip. This used to be this way prior lookup_rec()
    introduction.
