[PATCH bpf-next v3 2/2] bpf: Refactor bpf_tracing_func_proto() and remove bpf_get_probe_write_proto()

From: Marco Elver
Date: Wed Nov 27 2024 - 09:10:32 EST


With bpf_get_probe_write_proto() no longer printing a message, we can
avoid it being a special case with its own permission check.

Refactor bpf_tracing_func_proto() similar to bpf_base_func_proto() to
have a section conditional on bpf_token_capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN), where
the proto for bpf_probe_write_user() is returned. Finally, remove the
unnecessary bpf_get_probe_write_proto().

This simplifies the code, and adding additional CAP_SYS_ADMIN-only
helpers in future avoids duplicating the same CAP_SYS_ADMIN check.

v3:
* Fix where bpf_base_func_proto() is called - it needs to be last,
because we may override protos (as is e.g. done for
BPF_FUNC_get_smp_processor_id).

v2:
* New patch.
