Description:
------------
I suppose tracing JIT is tested by the "community_job.yml" in Azure pipeline in upstream. I further tested with functional JIT.

This bug was found when running the "Symfony demo" with functional JIT, i.e. opcache.jit=1205, in NTS+DEBUG+HYBRID+ASAN.

Note: this bug only occurred in HYBRID VM mode, not CALL VM mode.
Note: this bug occurred in both JIT/arm64 and JIT/x86.
Note: this bug occurred with ZEND_JIT_LEVEL_OPT_SCRIPT optimization level. If we run the test with "opcache.jit=1255", this bug showed up as well.

Here is the error msg:
# php -d opcache.preload=var/cache/dev/App_KernelDevDebugContainer.preload.php public/index.php
php: /opt/php-8.1.0alpha3/Zend/zend_vm_execute.h:62757: zend_get_opcode_handler_func: Assertion `zv != ((void *)0)' failed.


One child process would be created to preload the scripts (See function accel_finish_startup()) and zend_jit_script() would be invoked under ZEND_JIT_LEVEL_OPT_SCRIPT.
The assertion occurs when generating the JIT code.

Here the backtrace info for this child process.

Test script:
---------------
Following the "community_job.xml", download "Symfony" test case, prepare the "Symfony_demo" and 

run "php -d opcache.preload=var/cache/dev/App_KernelDevDebugContainer.preload.php public/index.php"

The version of Symfony I used is

I'd like to share some of my debugging results. Hope that this info could help to diagnose this bug.

I suspected this is because the same function is compiled by JIT for two times.

In the first time, the handler of one opline(in my test, the opcode is #164, and is in function trigger_deprecation() at file symfony_demo/vendor/symfony/deprecation-contracts/function.php) is replaced by the address of JIT-ed code.

Hence, in the second time, during generating the JIT code, the original handler of this opline, i.e. the interpreter handler, is needed by zend_jit_handler(), however, it's not a valid interpreter handler any longer, resulting in the failure in function zend_get_opcode_handler_func().

"Preload" mainly works in function accel_preload().
1) it firstly parses all functions and classes using the filename "$PRELOAD$. See https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-8.1.0alpha3/ext/opcache/ZendAccelerator.c#L4780-L4823
2) and then each script would be parsed. See https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-8.1.0alpha3/ext/opcache/ZendAccelerator.c#L4836-L4841

In my debugging, I found one opline is parsed by step 1) and step 2) respectively.

Here is one workaround, disabling the JIT process for opcache.jit=1205 if one function has already been preloaded before.
But I don't think it's a good fix. I guess we should add some check in the "preload" module to filter out duplicate functions.

Besides, this workaround only works for jit=1205. 
We should take care of other trigger options, i.e. 1215, 1225, 1235 and 1255. In my local test, if we add similar check before https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/opcache/jit/zend_jit.c#L4470, use after free error would be raised.

The problem is caused by attempt to JIT the same op_array, wrapped by "if", twice.

The simplified test-case:

preload.php
===========
<?php
$a = true;
if ($a) {
        function foo(...$arg) {
                echo "Hello\n";
        }
}
?>

$ php -dopcache.preload=preload.php -d opcache.jit=1205 -r 'foo();'
