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

Yes, Jiri. Thanks for pointing it out. It's true that not all probe
blacklisted functions should be banned from bpf_kprobe.

I tried some of them, and all kprobe blacklisted symbols I hooked
works fine except preempt_count_{sub, add}.
so the takeaway here is preempt_cout_{sub, add} must be rejected at
least for now since kprobe_multi_link_prog_run
( i.e., the fprobe handler) and rethook_trampoline_handler( i.e. the
rethook handler) calls preempt_cout_{sub, add}.

I'm considering providing a general  fprobe_blacklist framework just
like what kprobe does to allow others to mark
functions used inside fprobe handler or rethook handler as NOFPROBE to
avoid potential stack recursion. But only after
I figure out how ftrace handles recursion problems currently and why
it fails in the case I ran into.

Thanks
Ze
