Summary
bpf: Fix panic due to wrong pageattr of im->image
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Fix panic due to wrong pageattr of im->image

In the scenario where livepatch and kretfunc coexist, the pageattr of im->image is rox after archpreparebpftrampoline in bpftrampolineupdate, and then modifyfentry or registerfentry returns -EAGAIN from bpftrampftraceopsfunc, the BPFTRAMPFORIGSTACK flag will be configured, and archpreparebpftrampoline will be re-executed.

At this time, because the pageattr of im->image is rox, archpreparebpf_trampoline will read and write im->image, which causes a fault. as follows:

insmod livepatch-sample.ko # samples/livepatch/livepatch-sample.c bpftrace -e 'kretfunc:cmdlineprocshow {}'

With this patch, when modifyfentry or registerfentry returns -EAGAIN from bpftrampftraceopsfunc, the pageattr of im->image will be reset to nx+rw.
