Currently uprobe (BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE) program can't write to the context registers data. While this makes sense for kprobe attachments, for uprobe attachment it might make sense to be able to change user space registers to alter application execution. Since uprobe and kprobe programs share the same type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE), we can't deny write access to context during the program load. We need to check on it during program attachment to see if it's going to be kprobe or uprobe. Storing the program's write attempt to context and checking on it during the attachment.

Adding test to check we can change common register values through uprobe program. It's x86_64 specific test. Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]>
