[PATCH] bpf: reject blacklisted symbols in kprobe_multi to avoid recursive trap

From: Ze Gao
Date: Wed May 10 2023 - 08:21:23 EST


BPF_LINK_TYPE_KPROBE_MULTI attaches kprobe programs through fprobe,
however it does not takes those kprobe blacklisted into consideration,
which likely introduce recursive traps and blows up stacks.

this patch adds simple check and remove those are in kprobe_blacklist
from one fprobe during bpf_kprobe_multi_link_attach. And also
check_kprobe_address_safe is open for more future checks.

note that ftrace provides recursion detection mechanism, but for kprobe
only, we can directly reject those cases early without turning to ftrace.
