Probably the configs used by robots do not activate BPF JIT ?

Indeed, by reverting the change you "punish" all architectures because
arm64 hasn't properly been backported, is it fair ?

In fact, when I implemented commit e60adf513275 ("bpf: Take return from
set_memory_rox() into account with bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro()"), we had
the following users for function bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro() :

$ git grep bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro e60adf513275~
e60adf513275~:arch/arm/net/bpf_jit_32.c:
bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro(header);
e60adf513275~:arch/loongarch/net/bpf_jit.c:
bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro(header);
e60adf513275~:arch/mips/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:
bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro(header);
e60adf513275~:arch/parisc/net/bpf_jit_core.c:
bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro(jit_data->header);
e60adf513275~:arch/s390/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:
bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro(header);
e60adf513275~:arch/sparc/net/bpf_jit_comp_64.c:
bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro(header);
e60adf513275~:arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp32.c:
bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro(header);
e60adf513275~:include/linux/filter.h:static inline void
bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro(struct bpf_binary_header *hdr)

But when commit 08f6c05feb1d ("bpf: Take return from set_memory_rox()
into account with bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro()") was applied, we had one
more user which is arm64:

$ git grep bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro 08f6c05feb1d~
08f6c05feb1d~:arch/arm/net/bpf_jit_32.c:
bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro(header);
08f6c05feb1d~:arch/arm64/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:
bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro(header);
08f6c05feb1d~:arch/loongarch/net/bpf_jit.c:
bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro(header);
08f6c05feb1d~:arch/mips/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:
bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro(header);
08f6c05feb1d~:arch/parisc/net/bpf_jit_core.c:
bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro(jit_data->header);
08f6c05feb1d~:arch/s390/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:
bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro(header);
08f6c05feb1d~:arch/sparc/net/bpf_jit_comp_64.c:
bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro(header);
08f6c05feb1d~:arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp32.c:
bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro(header);
08f6c05feb1d~:include/linux/filter.h:static inline void
bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro(struct bpf_binary_header *hdr)

Therefore, commit 08f6c05feb1d should have included a backport for arm64.

So yes, I agree with Greg, the correct fix should be to backport to
ARM64 the changes done on other architectures in order to properly
handle return of set_memory_rox() in bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro().
