syzkaller managed to trigger the warning in bpf_jit_free() which checks via bpf_prog_kallsyms_verify_off() for potentially unlinked JITed BPF progs in kallsyms, and subsequently trips over GPF when walking kallsyms entries: [...] 8021q: adding VLAN 0 to HW filter on device batadv0 8021q: adding VLAN 0 to HW filter on device batadv0 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 9869 at kernel/bpf/core.c:810 bpf_jit_free+0x1e8/0x2a0 Kernel panic - not syncing: panic_on_warn set ...

Problem is that symbol exposure via bpf_prog_kallsyms_add() but also perf_event_bpf_event() were done /after/ bpf_prog_new_fd(). Once the fd is exposed to the public, a parallel close request came in right before we attempted to do the bpf_prog_kallsyms_add(). Given at this time the prog reference count is one, we start to rip everything underneath us via bpf_prog_release() -> bpf_prog_put(). The memory is eventually released via deferred free, so we're seeing that bpf_jit_free() has a kallsym entry because we added it from bpf_prog_load() but /after/ bpf_prog_put() from the remote CPU. Therefore, move both notifications /before/ we install the fd. The issue was never seen between bpf_prog_alloc_id() and bpf_prog_new_fd() because upon bpf_prog_get_fd_by_id() we'll take another reference to the BPF prog, so we're still holding the original reference from the bpf_prog_load().
