[PATCH bpf-next v4 1/4] bpf: Show precise rejected function when attaching fexit/fmod_ret to __noreturn functions
From: KaFai Wan
Date: Thu Jul 24 2025 - 11:15:47 EST
With this change, we know the precise rejected function name when
attaching fexit/fmod_ret to __noreturn functions from log.
$ ./fexit
libbpf: prog 'fexit': BPF program load failed: -EINVAL
libbpf: prog 'fexit': -- BEGIN PROG LOAD LOG --
Attaching fexit/fmod_ret to __noreturn function 'do_exit' is rejected.
