During testing, it was discovered that extensions to exception callbacks had no checks, upon running a testcase, the kernel ended up running off the end of a program having final call as bpf_throw, and hitting int3 instructions. The reason is that while the default exception callback would have reset the stack frame to return back to the main program's caller, the replacing extension program will simply return back to bpf_throw, which will instead return back to the program and the program will continue execution, now in an undefined state where anything could happen. The way to support extensions to an exception callback would be to mark the BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT main subprog as an exception_cb, and prevent it from calling bpf_throw. This would make the JIT produce a prologue that restores saved registers and reset the stack frame. But let's not do that until there is a concrete use case for this, and simply disallow this for now. Similar issues will exist for fentry and fexit cases, where trampoline saves data on the stack when invoking exception callback, which however will then end up resetting the stack frame, and on return, the fexit program will never will invoked as the return address points to the main program's caller in the kernel. Instead of additional complexity and back and forth between the two stacks to enable such a use case, simply forbid it. One key point here to note is that currently X86_TAIL_CALL_OFFSET didn't require any modifications, even though we emit instructions before the corresponding endbr64 instruction. This is because we ensure that a main subprog never serves as an exception callback, and therefore the exception callback (which will be a global subprog) can never serve as the tail call target, eliminating any discrepancies. However, once we support a BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT to also act as an exception callback, it will end up requiring change to the tail call offset to account for the extra instructions. For simplicitly, tail calls could be disabled for such targets. Noting the above, it appears better to wait for a concrete use case before choosing to permit extension programs to replace exception callbacks. As a precaution, we disable fentry and fexit for exception callbacks as well.

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 Restructured Text 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.
