BPF program types like kprobe and fentry can cause deadlocks in certain situations. If a function takes a lock and one of these bpf programs is hooked to some point in the function's critical section, and if the bpf program tries to call the same function and take the same lock it will lead to deadlock. These situations have been reported in the following bug reports.

In queue_stack_maps - Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/0000000000004c3fc90615f37756@google.com/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240418230932.2689-1-hdanton@sina.com/T/ In lpm_trie - Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/00000000000035168a061a47fa38@google.com/T/ In ringbuf - Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20240313121345.2292-1-hdanton@sina.com/T/ Prevent kprobe and fentry bpf programs from attaching to these critical sections by removing CC_FLAGS_FTRACE for percpu_freelist.o, bpf_lru_list.o, queue_stack_maps.o, lpm_trie.o, ringbuf.o files. The bugs reported by syzbot are due to tracepoint bpf programs being called in the critical sections. This patch does not aim to fix deadlocks caused by tracepoint programs. However, it does prevent deadlocks from occurring in similar situations due to kprobe and fentry programs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
