[PATCH v2 1/2] kprobes: Prohibit probing on CFI preamble symbol

From: "Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Date: 2023-07-11 01:51:30
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: kprobes, the rest · Maintainers: Naveen N Rao, "David S. Miller", Masami Hiramatsu, Linus Torvalds

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Do not allow to probe on "__cfi_" or "__pfx_" started symbol, because those
are used for CFI and not executed. Probing it will break the CFI.

Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
---
 Changes in v2:
  - Check "__pfx_" prefix functions too.
  - Make the check unconditional.
