bpf: Keep the symbols of a program until it has ended
When the last reference to a program goes, __bpf_prog_put_noref() takes its symbols out of the kallsyms tree and frees its line info at once, and waits for the grace periods only with the rest. But the program may still be running: the link or the array it was called from is gone, the call is not over. search_bpf_extables() finds the exception table of a program by its symbol. A load that faults, and that the table is there to fix up, is fatal from then on: Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdead0000000006f8: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI RIP: 0010:0xffffffffc06008f6 It takes a program that is detached and closed on one CPU while it runs on another. Unwinders and bpf_prog_find_from_stack() do not know the program any more either, and the stack dump of a BPF stream reads the freed line info. Free the line info behind the grace periods the program needs, as it is done with the BTF that its text comes from. Remove the symbols in bpf_prog_free_deferred(), which runs behind them as well. The symbols are looked up under rcu_read_lock(), so the images and the program itself are freed one more grace period later. All that the program refers to is released when it was before.
