[PATCH bpf-next 6/8] selftests/bpf: Add a test to verify kprobe_write_ctx compatibility enforcement
From: Leon Hwang
Date: Tue Feb 24 2026 - 10:50:56 EST
Add prog_array coverage for kprobe programs with and without
kprobe_write_ctx requirements.
The test verifies one-way enforcement: !kprobe_write_ctx programs
cannot tail-call kprobe_write_ctx programs.
