Subject: [PATCH v2 bpf-next 2/3] bpf: Reject attaching fexit to functions annotated with __noreturn
Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2025 14:27:34 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250223062735.3341-3-laoar.shao@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250223062735.3341-1-laoar.shao@gmail.com>

If we attach fexit to a function annotated with __noreturn, 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() 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

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 to __noreturn functions is rejected.
