Subject: [PATCH bpf v4 0/2] bpf: fix NULL dereference during extable search

Hi,
Enclosed are a pair of patches for an oops that can occur if an exception is
generated while a bpf subprogram is running.  One of the bpf_prog_aux entries
for the subprograms are missing an extable.  This can lead to an exception that
would otherwise be handled turning into a NULL pointer bug.

These changes were tested via the verifier and progs selftests and no
regressions were observed.

Changes from v3:
- Selftest style fixups (Feedback from Yonghong Song)
- Selftest needs to assert that test bpf program executed (Feedback from
  Yonghong Song)
- Selftest should combine open and load using open_and_load (Feedback from
  Yonghong Song)

Changes from v2:
- Insert only the main program's kallsyms (Feedback from Yonghong Song and
  Alexei Starovoitov)
- Selftest should use ASSERT instead of CHECK (Feedback from Yonghong Song)
- Selftest needs some cleanup (Feedback from Yonghong Song)
- Switch patch order (Feedback from Alexei Starovoitov)

Changes from v1:
- Add a selftest (Feedback From Alexei Starovoitov)
- Move to a 1-line verifier change instead of searching multiple extables

Krister Johansen (2):
  bpf: ensure main program has an extable
  selftests/bpf: add a test for subprogram extables
