CVE-2025-68216 — LoongArch: BPF: Disable trampoline for kernel module function trace

Affected: Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

LoongArch: BPF: Disable trampoline for kernel module function trace

The current LoongArch BPF trampoline implementation is incompatible with tracing functions in kernel modules. This causes several severe and user-visible problems:

* The `bpf_selftests/module_attach` test fails consistently. * Kernel lockup when a BPF program is attached to a module function [1]. * Critical kernel modules like WireGuard experience traffic disruption when their functions are traced with fentry [2].

Given the severity and the potential for other unknown side-effects, it is safest to disable the feature entirely for now. This patch prevents the BPF subsystem from allowing trampoline attachments to kernel module functions on LoongArch.

This is a temporary mitigation until the core issues in the trampoline code for kernel module handling can be identified and fixed.
