Subject: [PATCHv2 bpf-next 1/2] bpf: Reject multi kprobe programs in perf event attach
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 17:40:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106164043.546879-2-jolsa@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261106164043.546879-1-jolsa@kernel.org>
PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF allows attaching multi and session kprobe or
uprobe programs through the standard perf event path. These programs
require attach-specific run context, which this path does not provide.
Attaching them can also let a uprobe reach a private-stack program
through a tail call.
Reject multi and session programs in __perf_event_set_bpf_prog().
Keep the existing sleepable-program check for standard kprobe and
uprobe programs.
