Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v5 1/2] bpf: Reject attaching fexit/fmod_ret to __noreturn functions
Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2025 19:44:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250318114447.75484-2-laoar.shao@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250318114447.75484-1-laoar.shao@gmail.com>

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.
