Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: BPF: Disable trampoline for kernel module function trace
The current LoongArch BPF trampoline implementation is incompatible with tracing functions in kernel modules. This causes several severe and user-visible problems:
- The
bpf_selftests/module_attachtest fails consistently. - Kernel lockup when a BPF program is attached to a module function 1 ↗.
- Critical kernel modules like WireGuard experience traffic disruption when their functions are traced with fentry 2 ↗.
Given the severity and the potential for other unknown side-effects, it is safest to disable the feature entirely for now. This patch prevents the BPF subsystem from allowing trampoline attachments to kernel module functions on LoongArch.
This is a temporary mitigation until the core issues in the trampoline code for kernel module handling can be identified and fixed.
