📋 Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Check the helper function is valid in get_helper_proto
kernel test robot reported verifier bug [1] where the helper func pointer could be NULL due to disabled config option.
As Alexei suggested we could check on that in get_helper_proto directly. Marking tail_call helper func with BPF_PTR_POISON, because it is unused by design.
