[PATCH bpf-next v1 10/13] bpf: lsm: Handle attachment of the same program

From: KP Singh <kpsingh at google.com>

Allow userspace to attach a newer version of a program without having
duplicates of the same program.

If BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE is passed, the attachment logic compares the
name of the new program to the names of existing attached programs. The
names are only compared till a "__" (or '\0', if there is no "__"). If
a successful match is found, the existing program is replaced with the
newer attachment.

./loader Attaches "env_dumper__v1" followed by "env_dumper__v2"
to the bprm_check_security hook..

./loader
./loader

Before:

  cat /sys/kernel/security/bpf/process_execution
  env_dumper__v1
  env_dumper__v2

After:

  cat /sys/kernel/security/bpf/process_execution
  env_dumper__v2
