CVE-2026-97443

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

perf/ftrace: Fix WARNING in __unregister_ftrace_function

perf_ftrace_function_unregister() unconditionally calls
unregister_ftrace_function() without checking whether the ftrace_ops
was ever successfully registered. This triggers a WARN_ON in
__unregister_ftrace_function() when the ops doesn't have
FTRACE_OPS_FL_ENABLED set.

This can happen during perf_event_alloc() error cleanup when
perf_trace_destroy() is called via __free_event() on an event whose
ftrace_ops registration failed or was already torn down by
perf_try_init_event()'s err_destroy path.

The call path is:
  perf_event_alloc() error cleanup
    -> __free_event()
      -> event->destroy() [tp_perf_event_destroy]
        -> perf_trace_destroy()
          -> perf_trace_event_close()
            -> TRACE_REG_PERF_CLOSE
              -> perf_ftrace_function_unregister()
                -> unregister_ftrace_function()
                  -> __unregister_ftrace_function()
                    -> WARN_ON(!(ops->flags & FTRACE_OPS_FL_ENABLED))

Fix this by checking FTRACE_OPS_FL_ENABLED before attempting to
unregister. If the ops is not enabled, just free the filter and
return success.
