[PATCH bpf-next v2 4/7] bpf: Attachment verification for BPF_MODIFY_RETURN

From: KP Singh
Date: Tue Mar 03 2020 - 20:55:47 EST


From: KP Singh <kpsingh@xxxxxxxxxx>

- Allow BPF_MODIFY_RETURN attachment only to functions that are:

* Whitelisted by for error injection i.e. by checking
within_error_injection_list. Similar disucssions happened for the
bpf_overrie_return helper.

* security hooks, this is expected to be cleaned up with the LSM
changes after the KRSI patches introduce the LSM_HOOK macro:

https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200220175250.10795-1-kpsingh@xxxxxxxxxxxx/

- The attachment is currently limited to functions that return an int.
This can be extended later other types (e.g. PTR).
