[ Upstream commit 2b5dcb31a19a2e0acd869b12c9db9b2d696ef544 ]
From commit ebf7d1f508a73871 ("bpf, x64: rework pro/epilogue and tailcall
handling in JIT"), the tailcall on x64 works better than before.
From commit e411901c0b775a3a ("bpf: allow for tailcalls in BPF subprograms
for x64 JIT"), tailcall is able to run in BPF subprograms on x64.
From commit 5b92a28aae4dd0f8 ("bpf: Support attaching tracing BPF program
to other BPF programs"), BPF program is able to trace other BPF programs.
How about combining them all together?
1. FENTRY/FEXIT on a BPF subprogram.
2. A tailcall runs in the BPF subprogram.
3. The tailcall calls the subprogram's caller.
As a result, a tailcall infinite loop comes up. And the loop would halt
the machine.
As we know, in tail call context, the tail_call_cnt propagates by stack
and rax register between BPF subprograms. So do in trampolines.

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.
