[PATCH 5.15 148/846] libbpf: Fix using invalidated memory in bpf_linker

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jan 24 2022 - 17:15:36 EST


From: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 593835377f24ca1bb98008ec1dc3baefe491ad6e ]

add_dst_sec() can invalidate bpf_linker's section index making
dst_symtab pointer pointing into unallocated memory. Reinitialize
dst_symtab pointer on each iteration to make sure it's always valid.

Fixes: faf6ed321cf6 ("libbpf: Add BPF static linker APIs")
