kprobes: Forbid probing on trampoline and BPF code areas
kernel_text_address() treats ftrace_trampoline, kprobe_insn_slot
and bpf_text_address as valid kprobe addresses - which is not ideal.
These text areas are removable and changeable without any notification
to kprobes, and probing on them can trigger unexpected behavior:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/7/26/1148
Considering that jump_label and static_call text are already
forbiden to probe, kernel_text_address() should be replaced with
core_kernel_text() and is_module_text_address() to check other text
areas which are unsafe to kprobe.
[ mingo: Rewrote the changelog. ]
Fixes: 5b485629ba0d ("kprobes, extable: Identify kprobes trampolines as kernel text area")
Fixes: 74451e66d516 ("bpf: make jited programs visible in traces")
