Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
bpf: Avoid __bpf_prog_ret0_warn when jit fails<br />
<br />
syzkaller reported an issue:<br />
<br />
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 217 at kernel/bpf/core.c:2357 __bpf_prog_ret0_warn+0xa/0x20 kernel/bpf/core.c:2357<br />

RIP: 0010:__bpf_prog_ret0_warn+0xa/0x20 kernel/bpf/core.c:2357<br />
Call Trace:<br />
<br />
bpf_dispatcher_nop_func include/linux/bpf.h:1316 [inline]<br />
__bpf_prog_run include/linux/filter.h:718 [inline]<br />

...<br />
<br />
When creating bpf program, &#39;fp->jit_requested&#39; depends on bpf_jit_enable.<br />
This issue is triggered because of CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is not set<br />
and bpf_jit_enable is set to 1, causing the arch to attempt JIT the prog,<br />
but jit failed due to FAULT_INJECTION. As a result, incorrectly<br />
treats the program as valid, when the program runs it calls<br />
`__bpf_prog_ret0_warn` and triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE(1).
