bpf infra makes zero effort to prevent insecure/nonsensical bpf programs.
It's futile. Humans will always find ways to shoot themselves in the foot.
Before bpf-lsm existed people were selling "security" products
where _tracing_ bpf programs monitored syscall activity with kprobes
suffering all TOCTOU issues and signaling root user same daemon
via bpf maps/ring buffers to kill "bad" processes.
Such startups still exist. There is no technical solution
to human "ingenuity".
