The stack trace points to the memory in question being allocated by
tracepoint_add_func where allocation and assignment to
__tracepoint_sys_enter->funcs happens. Mathieu's patch addresses
use-after-free on this structure by using call_rcu_tasks_trace inside
release_probes. In contrast, here is what the "allocated by" trace
looks like for UAF on access to bpf_link (copied from the original
KASAN crash report [4]).

This clearly points to where memory for a bpf_link is allocated.

To add some context, if I apply Mathieu's patch alone then I get no
meaningful test signal when running the reproducer, because the UAF
crash almost always occurs first on accesses to bpf_link or bpf_prog
showing a trace like the second one above. My intent in applying patch
[1] is to mask out these sources of UAF-related crashes on the BPF
side to just focus on what this series addresses. This series should
eventually be tested end-to-end with Andrii's fix for the BPF stuff
that he mentioned last week, but that would rely on this patch series,
tracepoint_is_faultable() in particular, so it's kind of chicken and
egg in terms of testing. In the meantime, [1] provides a bandaid to
allow some degree of test coverage on this patch.

[1] chains call_rcu_tasks_trace and call_rcu to free both bpf_prog and
bpf_link after unregistering the trace point. This grace period should
be sufficient to prevent UAF on these structures from the syscall TP
handlers which are protected with rcu_read_lock_trace. I've run the
reproducer many times. Without /some/ fix on the BPF side it crashes
reliably within seconds here. Using call_rcu_tasks_trace or chaining
it with call_rcu eliminates UAF on the BPF stuff which eliminates a
couple of variables for local testing.

If you are not convinced, I'm happy to run through other test
scenarios or run the reproducer for much longer.
