kernel_text_address returns ftrace_trampoline, kprobe_insn_slot and bpf_text_address as kprobe legal address. These text are removable and changeable without any notifier to kprobes. Probing on them can trigger some unexpected behavior[1]. Considering that jump_label and static_call text are already be forbiden to probe, kernel_text_address should be replaced with core_kernel_text and is_module_text_address to check other text which is unsafe to kprobe. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/7/26/1148 Fixes: 5b485629ba0d ("kprobes, extable: Identify kprobes trampolines as kernel text area") Fixes: 74451e66d516 ("bpf: make jited programs visible in traces") Signed-off-by: Chen Zhongjin <chenzhongjin@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v2 -> v3: Remove '-next' carelessly added in title. v1 -> v2: Check core_kernel_text and is_module_text_address rather than only kprobe_insn. Also fix title and commit message for this.
