Hi Josef,

one more issue I just noticed, see comment below:

Can we somehow avoid the prog->kprobe_override flag here completely
and also same in the perf_event_attach_bpf_prog() handler?

Reason is that it's not reliable for bailing out this way: Think of
the main program you're attaching doesn't use bpf_override_return()
helper, but it tail-calls into other BPF progs that make use of it
instead. So above check would be useless and will fail and we continue
to attach the prog for probes where it's not intended to be used.

We've had similar issues in the past e.g. c2002f983767 ("bpf: fix
checking xdp_adjust_head on tail calls") is just one of those. Thus,
can we avoid the flag altogether and handle such error case differently?

Thanks,
