From: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 1af9270e908cd50a4f5d815c9b6f794c7d57ed07 ] >From the checks and commit messages for modify_return, it seems it was never the intention that it should be possible to attach a tracing program with expected_attach_type == BPF_MODIFY_RETURN to another BPF program. However, check_attach_modify_return() will only look at the function name, so if the target function starts with "security_", the attach will be allowed even for bpf2bpf attachment. Fix this oversight by also blocking the modification if a target program is supplied.
