We are looking at two issues:
1. Cannot recursively attach;
2. prog FD 3 doesn't have valid btf. 

#1 was caused by the verifier disallowing attaching fentry/fexit program 
to program with type BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING (in bpf_check_attach_target). 
This constraint was added when we only had fentry/fexit in the TRACING
type. We have extended the TRACING type to many other use cases, like 
"tp_btf/", "fmod_ret" and "iter/". Therefore, it is good time to revisit 
this constraint. I will work on this. 

For #2, we require the target program to have BTF. I guess we won't remove
this requirement.

While I work on improving #1, could you please test with some kprobe 
programs? For example, we can use fileslower.py from bcc. 

Thanks,
Song
