It is what I have in mind:


It is not a good idea to check the BTF header before copying the
user btf_data.  The verified header may not be the one actually
copied to btf->data (e.g. userspace may modify the passed in
btf_data in between).  Like the one fixed in
commit 8af03d1ae2e1 ("bpf: btf: Fix a missing check bug").

This patch copies the user btf_data before parsing/verifying
the BTF header.

Fixes: 69b693f0aefa ("bpf: btf: Introduce BPF Type Format (BTF)")
