Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 2/8] bpf: Disallow !kprobe_write_ctx progs tail-calling kprobe_write_ctx progs
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 23:40:18 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224154024.12504-3-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260224154024.12504-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev>
uprobe programs that can modify pt_regs require different runtime
assumptions than pt_regs-read-only uprobe programs. Mixing both in
one prog_array can make owner expectations diverge from callee behavior.
Reject the combination of !kprobe_write_ctx progs with kprobe_write_ctx
progs in __bpf_prog_map_compatible() to address the issue.
Fixes: 7384893d970e ("bpf: Allow uprobe program to change context registers")
