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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
