Does arch_bpf_trampoline_size() need to initialize ctx.ro_image?
invoke_bpf_prog() now reads ctx->ro_image unconditionally:
arch/loongarch/net/bpf_jit.c:invoke_bpf_prog()
void *skip = ctx->ro_image + ctx->idx;
but arch_bpf_trampoline_size() only assigns ctx.image and ctx.idx. Before
this patch the sizing path read ctx->ro_image only under
BPF_TRAMP_F_CALL_ORIG, so fentry-only trampolines never touched it. The
result is discarded (bpf_tramp_image_add_skip() returns immediately
because im.skips == NULL), so there is no functional misbehaviour, but it
is a read of an uninitialized automatic variable.
The arm64 side of the same patch already uses a designated initializer:
arch/arm64/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:arch_bpf_trampoline_size()
struct jit_ctx ctx = { .image = NULL, .idx = 0, };
Making the loongarch declaration 'struct jit_ctx ctx = {};' would avoid
the issue.

This isn't a bug, but should BPF_MAX_TRAMP_LINKS be lowered for riscv64?
The commit message states "With the extra nops, BPF_MAX_TRAMP_LINKS progs
no longer fit in a page on arm64 and loongarch ... so lower the limit
there like s390 does." The limits in include/linux/bpf.h were changed:
arch added per prog BPF_MAX_TRAMP_LINKS change
arm64 4 bytes 38 -> 37
loongarch 20 bytes 38 -> 33
powerpc64 4 bytes 38 -> 27
s390x 6 bytes 27 (already lowered)
riscv64 8 bytes 38 (unchanged)
x86_64 5 bytes 38 (unchanged)
riscv64 gains 8 bytes per prog (two rv_nop()s) but its limit is
unchanged. For 38 progs that is 304 extra bytes, which could push
trampolines close to the PAGE_SIZE limit over the boundary.
bpf_trampoline_update() rejects the update with -E2BIG if size exceeds
PAGE_SIZE, so this is a graceful reduction in the maximum attachable
progs on riscv64 rather than memory corruption.

This isn't a bug, but the comment at the call site of
__bpf_tramp_image_put_deferred() appears stale. bpf_trampoline_update()
now does:
kernel/bpf/trampoline.c:bpf_trampoline_update()
/* track the image until it is freed, for bpf_trampoline_skip_prog() */
refcount_inc(&tr->refcnt);
im->tr = tr;
list_add(&im->list, &tr->images);
so every live bpf_tramp_image holds a reference on the trampoline and
tr->refcnt cannot reach 0 while any image is alive. The comment in
bpf_trampoline_put() says:
kernel/bpf/trampoline.c:bpf_trampoline_put()
/* This code will be executed even when the last bpf_tramp_image
* is alive. All progs are detached from the trampoline and the
* trampoline image is patched with jmp into epilogue to skip
* fexit progs. The fentry-only trampoline will be freed via
* multiple rcu callbacks.
*/
hlist_del(&tr->hlist_key);
but the guarded block is now reached only after the last image has been
unlinked, typically from __bpf_tramp_image_put_deferred() rather than
from the detach syscall.
