bpf: Reject attaching fexit/fmod_ret to __noreturn functions
[ Upstream commit cfe816d4 ] If we attach fexit/fmod_ret to __noreturn functions, it will cause an issue that the bpf trampoline image will be left over even if the bpf link has been destroyed. Take attaching do_exit() with fexit for example. The fexit works as follows, bpf_trampoline + __bpf_tramp_enter + percpu_ref_get(&tr->pcref); + call do_exit() + __bpf_tramp_exit + percpu_ref_put(&tr->pcref); Since do_exit() never returns, the refcnt of the trampoline image is never decremented, preventing it from being freed. That can be verified with as follows, $ bpftool link show <<<< nothing output $ grep "bpf_trampoline_[0-9]" /proc/kallsyms ffffffffc04cb000 t bpf_trampoline_6442526459 [bpf] <<<< leftover In this patch, all functions annotated with __noreturn are rejected, except for the following cases: - Functions that result in a system reboot, such as panic, machine_real_restart and rust_begin_unwind - Functions that are never executed by tasks, such as rest_init and cpu_startup_entry - Functions implemented in assembly, such as rewind_stack_and_make_dead and xen_cpu_bringup_again, lack an associated BTF ID. With this change, attaching fexit probes to functions like do_exit() will be rejected. $ ./fexit libbpf: prog 'fexit': BPF program load failed: -EINVAL libbpf: prog 'fexit': -- BEGIN PROG LOAD LOG -- Attaching fexit/fmod_ret to __noreturn functions is rejected.
