libbpf: Cleanup the legacy kprobe_event on failed add/attach_event()
Before the 0bc11ed5 commit ("kprobes: Allow kprobes coexist with livepatch"), in a scenario where livepatch and kprobe coexist on the same function entry, the creation of kprobe_event using add_kprobe_event_legacy() will be successful, at the same time as a trace event (e.g. /debugfs/tracing/events/kprobe/XXX) will exist, but perf_event_open() will return an error because both livepatch and kprobe use FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY. As follows: 1) add a livepatch $ insmod livepatch-XXX.ko 2) add a kprobe using tracefs API (i.e. add_kprobe_event_legacy) $ echo 'p:mykprobe XXX' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events 3) enable this kprobe (i.e. sys_perf_event_open) This will return an error, -EBUSY. On Andrii Nakryiko's comment, few error paths in bpf_program__attach_kprobe_opts() that should need to call remove_kprobe_event_legacy(). With this patch, whenever an error is returned after add_kprobe_event_legacy() or bpf_program__attach_perf_event_opts(), this ensures that the created kprobe_event is cleaned.
