Currently, kmemdup() is used for allocating and copying xlated insns in bpf_insn_prepare_dump(). The following warning can be triggered when dup large amount of insns (roughly BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_INSNS/2) because kmemdup() uses kmalloc() which would fail when allocing size is too big, leading to failure in dump xlated insns: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 7060 at mm/page_alloc.c:5534 Call Trace: <TASK> __alloc_pages_node include/linux/gfp.h:237 [inline] alloc_pages_node include/linux/gfp.h:260 [inline] __kmalloc_large_node+0x81/0x160 mm/slab_common.c:1096 __do_kmalloc_node mm/slab_common.c:943 [inline] __kmalloc_node_track_caller.cold+0x5/0x5d mm/slab_common.c:975 kmemdup+0x29/0x60 mm/util.c:129 kmemdup include/linux/fortify-string.h:585 [inline] bpf_insn_prepare_dump kernel/bpf/syscall.c:3820 [inline] bpf_prog_get_info_by_fd+0x9a3/0x2cb0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:3975 bpf_obj_get_info_by_fd kernel/bpf/syscall.c:4297 [inline] __sys_bpf+0x3928/0x56f0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5004 __do_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5069 [inline] __se_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5067 [inline] ... So use kvmalloc()+memcpy() to fix this, for small size of insns, this is same as kmemdup(), but this also support dup large amount of xlated insns.
