2026-07-17bpf: Zero kfunc arg meta before error paths can read itAmery Hung1-1/+2
check_kfunc_call() reads meta.func_name when bpf_fetch_kfunc_arg_meta() returns -EACCES, but that error can come from fetch_kfunc_meta() (e.g. fd_array_get_btf() rejecting BTF binding for a signed program) before meta is memset(), leaving it uninitialized and risking a garbage deref in verbose(). Move the memset() to the start of bpf_fetch_kfunc_arg_meta() so meta is zeroed on every error return. The intended "not allowed" -EACCES path still sets func_name first, so its message is unchanged.

2026-07-17bpf: Disable raw mode for bloom filter map_peekAmery Hung1-0/+9
For a bloom filter, the value argument of bpf_map_peek_elem() is always an input. Therefore, the verifier should not allow passing uninitialized stack memory to it to avoid information leak. bpf_map_peek_elem() tags its value argument ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE | MEM_UNINIT, telling the verifier the callee fills the buffer. This holds for queue/stack maps, but not for a bloom filter, which reads the buffer as an input to test set membership and never writes it. As a result, a program can pass an uninitialized stack buffer to bpf_map_peek_elem() on a bloom filter. The verifier accepts it and marks the buffer initialized on return, letting the program read back leftover kernel stack memory. Bloom maps require CAP_BPF to create, so this is a CAP_BPF-gated stack infoleak that bypasses the boundary CAP_BPF is meant to enforce (arbitrary kernel reads are gated behind CAP_PERFMON).

2026-07-16bpf: Reject callback subprogs invoke tailcallPu Lehui1-6/+2
Some JIT compilers, such as x86_64, rely on a register to pass the TCC. When subprograms of synchronous callback invoke tailcall, C helpers invoking bpf callback clobber this register, and the corrupted TCC may bypass the TCC limit, leading to infinite tailcall. Fix this by rejecting tailcall inside all subprogs of sync callback. This also cleanly consolidates the existing async and exception callback checks into a single unified `is_cb` check.

2026-07-16bpf: Sync tail_call_reachable with callee state on entryPu Lehui1-2/+2
Currently in check_max_stack_depth_subprog, when the verifier enters a new callee branch, the local tail_call_reachable is not properly synchronized with the callee's state. Consider a main prog branching into multiple subprogs: subprog0 -> tailcall main < subprog1 -> subprog2 When the verifier finishes checking subprog0 and backtracks to main prog, the local tail_call_reachable state is left as true. As it proceeds to subprog1, this uncleared state leaks into the new branch, falsely marking subprog1 and subprog2 as tailcall reachable. Fix this by explicitly syncing tail_call_reachable with the callee's has_tail_call state on entry. The caller's state is safely preserved and restored via the existing backtracking logic.

2026-07-16bpf: Fix tracing of kfuncs with implicit argsIhor Solodrai2-13/+82
A kfunc marked with KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS flag takes implicit arguments (such as bpf_prog_aux) that the verifier injects at load time. resolve_btfids strips those from the kfunc's BTF-visible prototype and keeps the real kernel ABI in a counterpart _impl prototype [1]. fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/fsession programs may attach to the BPF kernel functions, including those with implicit args. However bpf_check_attach_target() and bpf_check_attach_btf_id_multi() extract the struct btf_func_model from the wrong BTF prototype of the kfunc. The btf_func_model is later read to construct the trampoline, which then causes the injected implicit argument to be clobbered and the kfunc dereferencing garbage. Add btf_attach_func_proto() to resolve the real ABI prototype of the kfunc the way the call site does: by looking up the _impl prototype for a KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS kfunc. Use it at both attach-target model construction sites. To enable this, make two supporting changes: * pass bpf_verifier_log instead of bpf_verifier_env to find_kfunc_impl_proto(), so it can be reused from the attach path * add btf_kfunc_check_flag() to test a flag across all of a kfunc's hook sets, because a program attaching to a kfunc is not in the kfunc's call-set KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS must be consistent across the sets, so btf_kfunc_check_flag() returns -EINVAL on inconsistency. btf_kfunc_check_flag() reads the kfunc's flags from the target's kfunc_set_tab. For a module BTF that table is stable only after the module is live, so take a module reference around the read, mirroring how the kfunc call path gates the same lookup with btf_try_get_module(). The remaining call sites of btf_distill_func_proto() are safe as is. The BPF_TRACE_ITER case distills a registered iterator's prototype, and bpf_struct_ops_desc_init() distills the function-pointer members of a struct_ops type. Neither is a kfunc, and so can't have implicit arguments.

2026-07-15bpf: Reject negative const offsets for buffer pointersSun Jian1-12/+19
The verifier rejects variable offsets for PTR_TO_TP_BUFFER and PTR_TO_BUF accesses, but it currently accepts a constant negative offset produced by pointer arithmetic. Commit 022ac0750883 ("bpf: use reg->var_off instead of reg->off for pointers") moved constant pointer offsets from reg->off to reg->var_off. However, __check_buffer_access() continued to check only the instruction offset. An access with reg->var_off equal to -8 and an instruction offset of zero therefore passes verification. For writable raw tracepoints, the access end is also calculated from the unsigned reg->var_off.value. An eight-byte access starting at -8 wraps the calculated end to zero, allowing the program to load and attach without increasing max_tp_access. After ensuring that reg->var_off is constant, calculate the effective access start using signed arithmetic and reject it when it is negative. Use the validated start to calculate the access end for both PTR_TO_TP_BUFFER and PTR_TO_BUF.

2026-07-15bpf: Unify helper and kfunc allocation-size argument handlingAmery Hung1-40/+47
The constant "size of the PTR_TO_MEM returned in R0" argument is handled by both helpers (ARG_CONST_ALLOC_SIZE_OR_ZERO) and kfuncs (__rdonly_buf_size / __rdwr_buf_size), each with its own meta field (meta->mem_size, meta->r0_size) and duplicated validation. Add struct arg_alloc_mem_desc and a shared process_const_alloc_mem_size(), and replace both fields with meta->arg_alloc_mem. The desc records presence with a 'found' flag instead of using a non-zero size as the sentinel. This also fixes a pre-existing bug on the kfunc return path: "no size argument" was tested as r0_size == 0, so an explicit __rdonly_buf_size/__rdwr_buf_size of 0 was treated as absent and fell through to btf_resolve_size(), giving R0 the size of the pointed-to return type instead of 0. With 'found', an explicit zero size is honored and btf_resolve_size() is used only when no size argument was passed. The size is stored in a u32, matching regs[R0].mem_size. The U32_MAX check now apply to both helper and kfunc through process_const_alloc_mem_size(). Fold bpf_session_cookie return size assignment into current kfunc return size resolution path. Note that verifier saves kfunc return size through r0_size instead of mem_size. The later has no active readers so remove it.

check_func_arg() only ever handles register arguments (the caller loops over the first MAX_BPF_FUNC_REG_ARGS arguments), so a single argno_t built from the register number identifies the argument for every callee. Remove the duplicated argno_from_reg() calls to simplify check_func_arg(). 'regno' is still kept for the few places that need the raw register number directly (register reads, verbose R%d messages) and for referring to the neighbouring size/memory argument in the ARG_CONST_SIZE{,_OR_ZERO} cases.

2026-07-15bpf: Factor out raw_mode-related fields in bpf_call_arg_metaAmery Hung1-31/+27
To prepare for unifying the helper and kfunc call_arg_meta, group the scattered MEM_UNINIT ("raw") memory argument fields (raw_mode, regno and access_size) into a new struct arg_raw_mem_desc. The intention is to make it clear about when these are set and used instead of fields with overly generic names. Identify the raw argument once, up front, in check_raw_mode_ok() (like check_proto_release_reg() does for release_regno), recording its regno. check_stack_range_initialized() now recognizes the raw buffer by matching that regno, so the separate raw_mode flag is no longer needed, and the per-argument "meta->raw_mode = arg_type & MEM_UNINIT" assignments in check_func_arg() go away with it. A raw memory argument can be tagged either ARG_PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_UNINIT or ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE | MEM_UNINIT (the output buffer of bpf_map_pop_elem() and bpf_map_peek_elem()). Either may be passed as a PTR_TO_STACK, which reaches check_stack_range_initialized() through check_helper_mem_access(), so both must be treated as raw. Extend arg_type_is_raw_mem() to match the map value case as well; otherwise check_raw_mode_ok() would not record the regno for it and an uninitialized stack buffer passed to those helpers would be wrongly rejected for programs without CAP_PERFMON. No functional change intended. This patch does not enable raw_mode memory access for kfunc (i.e., uninit stack will not be allowed to be passed to kfunc for unprivileged programs). Existing kfuncs with arguments tagged with __uninit are either priviledged or dynptr kfuncs, which take another path to make sure the access is checked by check_mem_access().

For a MEM_UNINIT ("raw mode") helper argument, check_stack_range_initialized() open-coded a scan that rejected any STACK_DYNPTR slot in the range with "potential write to dynptr". This duplicated, and was stricter than, the handling that runs when the buffer is actually marked initialized. check_helper_call() later replays the write byte by byte via check_mem_access(), which goes through destroy_if_dynptr_stack_slot(), which rejects overwritting a referenced dynptr. Therefore drop the redundant scan and rely on check_mem_access().

check_kfunc_args() detects a kfunc argument named rdonly_buf_size or rdwr_buf_size and stores reg->var_off.value into meta->r0_size, a u64, and does not bound it. check_kfunc_call() later copies that value into the returned register's mem_size field: meta->r0_size = reg->var_off.value; ... regs[BPF_REG_0].mem_size = meta.r0_size; regs[BPF_REG_0].mem_size is u32. A constant whose upper 32 bits are set gets truncated instead of causing a load-time rejection, so the verifier records a PTR_TO_MEM register with an approximately 4 GiB mem_size for whatever allocation the kfunc returned.

When a spilled scalar is filled back with a sign-extending narrowing load (BPF_MEMSX), check_stack_read_fixed_off() copies the spilled register including its scalar id, but coerce_reg_to_size_sx() then sign-extends the filled register's value. If the same slot is also filled with a plain zero-extending load (BPF_MEM), both destination registers share the id yet hold different values. A later 'if <zext-reg> == const' then refines the sign-extended register through sync_linked_regs() to a value it does not have at runtime (e.g. the verifier believes 0x80000000 while the register is 0xffffffff80000000), which can be turned into an out-of-bounds access.

In-tree LSMs are unaffected in practice since the blob kfree() inside security_bpf_map_free() is NULL-safe and idempotent and none of them implement bpf_map_free, but a BPF LSM program attached to that hook observes double invocations.

2026-07-08bpf: Reject programs with inlined helpers if JIT is not availableTiezhu Yang1-1/+3
When an architecture (such as LoongArch, ARM64, and RISC-V) implements bpf_jit_inlines_helper_call(), the verifier skips rewriting the helper call offset (insn->imm) in bpf_do_misc_fixups(). This is because the helper is expected to be inlined by the JIT compiler later. Therefore, insn->imm remains as the raw helper enum ID. However, if JIT is disabled at runtime (net.core.bpf_jit_enable=0) or if JIT compilation fails dynamically (e.g., due to OOM), the program falls back to the BPF interpreter. When the interpreter executes (__bpf_call_base + insn->imm) with the unpatched raw ID, it jumps into an invalid address space, triggering an instruction alignment fault or a kernel panic. Although these helpers have valid C implementations in the kernel, the omission of offset rewriting makes runtime interpreter fallback fatal. Fix this by setting 'prog->jit_required = 1' when helper call rewriting is skipped for JIT inlining. This ensures that such programs are safely rejected if JIT is not available, preventing the runtime kernel panic.

2026-07-09bpf: Give vmlinux BTF init its own mutexDaniel Borkmann2-4/+5
bpf_get_btf_vmlinux() serializes the lazy vmlinux BTF parse with bpf_verifier_lock, the same mutex bpf_check() holds across the whole verification of an unprivileged program (if enabled; it's disabled by default). The latter can potentially stall the mutex holder for a long time (e.g. via userfaultfd), and therefore block first-time bpf_get_btf_vmlinux() caller from any context, including privileged program loads. Give the vmlinux BTF initialization a dedicated btf_vmlinux_lock so it is independent of the unprivileged verification mutex. The parse only needs mutual exclusion against itself.

2026-07-09bpf: Fix vmlinux BTF prep race in bpf_get_btf_vmlinuxDaniel Borkmann1-4/+16
bpf_get_btf_vmlinux() lazily parses the vmlinux BTF under the bpf_verifier_lock, but publishes the result through a plain store and re-checks it through a plain lockless load. Nothing orders the stores initializing the struct btf inside btf_parse_vmlinux() against the store publishing the pointer: On a weakly ordered arch, a concurrent first-time caller taking the lockless fast path could in principle observe the pointer before the parsed contents are visible. The mutex_unlock() does not help such a reader given it only synchronizes with a later acquisition of the same lock. Thus, publish the pointer with smp_store_release() and read it on the fast path with smp_load_acquire(). Acquire semantics are needed rather than a dependency-ordered READ_ONCE(): btf_parse_vmlinux() also populates globals outside the returned object (e.g. bpf_ctx_convert.t). An address dependency would only order accesses performed through the pointer and not cover other globals.

2026-07-08libbpf: Drop in-loader metadata check for load-time verificationDaniel Borkmann1-7/+0
The signed gen_loader used to police its own metadata map from within BPF: emit_signature_match() read the kernel-cached map->sha[] back through hardcoded struct bpf_map offsets and compared it against a hash that compute_sha_update_offsets() baked into the signed instructions, after a BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD round-trip to populate map->sha[]. The kernel now verifies the metadata at BPF_PROG_LOAD time by folding the frozen contents of the loader's exclusive fd_array maps into the signature, so the loader no longer checks anything itself. Generated loaders thus carry no verification logic of their own anymore: Nothing in the signing chain depends on emitted loader bytecode doing the right thing. On the loading side, skel_internal.h now sets fd_array_cnt for a signed load so the kernel scans fd_array for the exclusive metadata map - still frozen, as the kernel requires - and the BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD round-trip to populate map->sha[] is gone. The struct bpf_map layout BUILD_BUG_ON()s on the kernel side are removed as well: they only pinned the ABI for the in-BPF read of map->sha[] that is no longer needed. Same for the map->excl member. Note: gen_hash is retained; it still marks a loader as signed so an untrusted host cannot re-dimension maps or override initial values now covered by the signature.

2026-07-08bpf: Verify signed loader metadata at load timeDaniel Borkmann2-96/+214
A signed gen_loader program carries the programs, maps and relocations it installs in a metadata array map. The loader instructions are covered by the PKCS#7 signature, but the metadata map is not: Today the loader compares the map contents from within BPF against a hash baked into its (signed) instructions, using the kernel-cached map hash. The kernel itself never actually attests that the metadata the loader installs is the metadata that was signed. This split is the core of the long-standing objection to the BPF signing scheme from the LSM / integrity side: the integrity check of a light skeleton only completes once the loader program runs, that is, after the security_bpf_prog_load() hook, so at admission time an LSM observes a program whose payload has not yet been verified. Auditing the chain link is also not a purely cryptographic operation: whoever signs or reviews an lskel has to disassemble the loader's preamble to convince themselves that the embedded hash check is present and correct [0][1]. Two acceptable fixes were identified in those threads: Complete the integrity check before the admission hook fires, or add a second hook that collects the verification result after the loader ran [2]. Covering both the loader and its maps directly with the PKCS#7 signature is what Blaise Boscaccy's patchsets proposed in several forms. Let's implement the former, without growing the UAPI, and in particular as a single unified scheme where the signature spans the raw bytes rather than derived hashes. A signed loader binds its metadata map(s) through the existing fd_array, and an exclusive map is already bound to a program digest (excl_prog_hash). So when a signature is present, collect the exclusive maps from fd_array and append their frozen contents to the instructions before verification: The signature now covers insns || metadata_0 || metadata_1 || [...] in the fd_array order, and verification completes in bpf_check(), once the fd_array maps are resolved into used_maps, before the LSM admission hook and the rest of verification. A program is either BPF_SIG_UNSIGNED or BPF_SIG_VERIFIED, with nothing in between. While folding the fd_array maps, a non-exclusive map bound to a signed program is rejected, so every map folded into the signature is exclusive. A signed loader that fails to cover its metadata thus does not load, and BPF_SIG_VERIFIED always means the instructions and every exclusive map are authentic. The maps must be frozen so the hashed bytes cannot change before the loader runs; the map <-> program digest binding is enforced by the verifier for every used map. Binding maps through fd_array_cnt makes the verifier resolve and excl-check them (excl_prog_sha vs prog->digest) before it would otherwise compute the digest, so compute prog->digest up front in bpf_check(), over the unmodified instructions the signature covers, for a load that folds metadata. Unsigned programs are not affected by the signature path; for them the LSM admission hook merely moves below fd_array resolution, with minimal bounded work in between. Note, signed loaders generated by older libbpf/ bpftool versions need to be regenerated; some of the recent fixes we've had on the signed loader side require the latter already to close gaps. Finally, some remarks around the security_bpf_prog_load() placement given there was discussion on whether a new hook is needed or the existing security_bpf_prog() hook should be reused [3]: For a new hook it would mean that just for loading a single BPF program it has to pass through four layers of LSM hooks: 1) security_bpf (cmd=PROG_LOAD): for gating various bpf subcmds 2) security_bpf_prog_load: historical admission hook (CAP/token, prog_type, attach point), pre-verification 3) security_bpf_prog_verify_signature: newly asked admission hook, same role as 2), plus the BPF signature verdict 4) security_bpf_prog: gate handing the prog fd back to userspace, verification done & signature verified The use-cases of 2) and 3) conflate, thus BPF community prefers to just keep a total of 3 LSM hooks (as-is today): 3) makes 2) incoherent given they are the /same class/ of hook, that is, access-control admission on the load and split only by _what_ they can see. Worse, with the split, for a signed BPF program security_bpf_prog_load 2) admits a program whose signature has not been checked, so a policy gating at 2) is structurally unable to express "admit only verified" and every such policy is forced onto 3) *anyway*. In other words, one doesn't get two complementary hooks, but rather, one real admission hook aka 3) plus a now-degraded /legacy/ hook 2) that can't answer the question operators actually want to ask. Reusing security_bpf_prog() 4) for admission is no alternative either: it fires only after the entire verifier (and JIT) pipeline ran, so denying a not-yet-verified program at that point burns exactly the work a denial is supposed to avoid, and by then the program has an id assigned and the kallsyms/perf/audit load events fired. Policies are free to also consume the signature verdict at 4), but admission control belongs into security_bpf_prog_load(). Hence the latter remains the only admission hook, merely moved past signature verification; with moving large allocations further down into the BPF verifier, there is now only minimal work between the old and new location: The preparation work in bpf_check() is reordered such that only the minimally necessary setup happens up front: Allocating the env, initializing the verifier log and resolving the fd_array that a signed BPF metadata map needs. The worst case allocation up until security_bpf_prog_load() is ~90K which is the env itself (~54K) plus the continuous fd_array cache (at most 32K). The insn_aux_data array is moved into a later stage in the verification.

2026-07-08bpf: Resolve and cache fd_array objects at load timeDaniel Borkmann1-51/+172
The fd_array passed to BPF_PROG_LOAD carries the map and module BTF file descriptors a program binds. The verifier reads it more than once during a load: process_fd_array() walks it to bind the maps and BTFs, and check_and_resolve_insns() and the kfunc BTF resolver later read it again to resolve the program's BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_IDX* and module kfunc refs. For signed BPF, we need these upfront in memory, thus resolve each fd to its object once and cache it by fd_array index, then bind that cached object for the rest of the load. env->fd_array becomes a small per-slot {map, btf} cache rather than a bpfptr_t; every later reference is then an in-bounds lookup of an already-resolved object, and an index outside the cache is rejected instead of read from user memory: - continuous (fd_array_cnt given): the caller declares the length and every entry is resolved and bound up front (used also by the BPF signed loader) - sparse (no fd_array_cnt): left as the legacy path with no fd_array cache; each reference reads its fd from the caller's fd_array and resolves it on the spot. Deduplication in used_maps and the kfunc BTF table keeps this correct, and only unsigned programs use this shape. Split these into separate helpers to make it easier to follow.

The pack allocator only flushes predictors when reusing a dirty pack for cBPF, eBPF allocations never trigger a flush. Currently, eBPF picks the first free pack, which could be a clean pack. As an optimization, leaving a clean pack for cBPF can avoid flushes. Prefer dirty packs for eBPF and keep clean packs free for cBPF. This mirrors the existing cBPF preference for clean packs: each program kind prefers the pack that avoids an extra flush, and falls back to the other kind only when no preferred pack has room. eBPF reuse of a dirty pack is harmless since eBPF being privileged does not flush.

2026-07-01bpf: Prefer packs that won't trigger an IBPB flush on allocationPawan Gupta1-3/+24
Currently BPF pack allocator picks the chunks from the first available pack. While this is okay, it naturally leads to more frequent flushes when there are multiple packs in the system that weren't used since the last flush. As an optimization prefer allocating the new programs from packs that are unused since last flush. When all packs are dirty, allocation forces a flush and marks all packs clean. Below are some future optimizations ideas: 1. Currently, the "dirty" tracking is only done at the pack-level. Flush frequency can further be reduced with chunk-level tracking. This requires a new bitmap per-pack to track the dirty state. 2. IBPB flush is done on all CPUs, even if only a single CPU ran the BPF program. On a system with hundreds of CPUs this could be a major bottleneck forcing hundreds of IPIs to deliver the flush. The solution is to track the CPUs where a BPF program ran, and issue IBPB only on those CPUs. 3. Avoid IBPB when flush is already done at other sources (e.g. context switch).

The BPF JIT allocator packs many small programs into larger executable allocations and reuses space within those allocations as programs are loaded and freed. When fresh code is written into space that a previous program occupied, an indirect jump into the new program can reuse a branch prediction left behind by the old one. Flush the indirect branch predictors before reusing JIT memory so that indirect jumps into a newly written program don't reuse predictions from an old program that occupied the same space. Introduce bpf_arch_pred_flush_enabled static key and bpf_arch_pred_flush static call for flushing the branch predictors on JIT memory reuse. Architectures that need a flush, can update it to a predictor flush function. By default, its a NOP and does not emit any CALL. Allocations larger than a pack are not covered by this flush. That is safe because cBPF programs (the unprivileged attack surface) are bounded well below a pack size. Issue a warning if this assumption is ever violated while the flush is active.

2026-06-30bpf: Reject BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE creation if BPF LSM is uninitializedMatt Bobrowski1-0/+9
When CONFIG_BPF_LSM=y is set, BPF inode storage maps (BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE) are compiled into the kernel. However, if the BPF LSM is not explicitly enabled at boot time (e.g. omitted from the "lsm=" boot parameter), lsm_prepare() is never executed for the BPF LSM. Consequently, the BPF inode security blob offset (bpf_lsm_blob_sizes.lbs_inode) is never initialized and remains at its default compiled size of 8 bytes instead of being updated to a valid offset past the reserved struct rcu_head (typically 16 bytes or more). When a privileged user creates and updates a BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE map, bpf_inode() evaluates inode->i_security + 8. This erroneously aliases the struct rcu_head.func callback pointer at the beginning of the inode->i_security blob. During subsequent map element cleanup or inode destruction, writing NULL to owner_storage clears the queued RCU callback pointer. When rcu_do_batch() later executes the queued callback, it attempts an instruction fetch at address 0x0, triggering an immediate kernel panic. Fix this by introducing a global bpf_lsm_initialized boolean flag marked with __ro_after_init. Set this flag to true inside bpf_lsm_init() when the LSM framework successfully registers the BPF LSM. Gate map allocation in inode_storage_map_alloc() on this flag, returning -EOPNOTSUPP if the BPF LSM is in turn uninitialized. This fail-fast approach prevents userspace from allocating inode storage maps when the supporting BPF LSM infrastructure is absent, avoiding zombie map states.

The existing vfree(env->insn_aux_data) sits before the err_free_env label, so that direct jump bypasses it and leaks insn_aux_data. Move vfree(env->insn_aux_data) into err_free_env so all early and late exit paths release it consistently.

2026-06-25bpf: Mask pseudo pointer values in verifier logsNuoqi Gui1-1/+4
print_bpf_insn() masks ldimm64 immediates for pointer-bearing pseudo sources when pointer leaks are not allowed, but the mask only covers BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD and BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_VALUE. BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_IDX, BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_IDX_VALUE, and BPF_PSEUDO_BTF_ID can also be resolved to kernel pointer values before the verifier log prints the instruction. Include them in the existing pointer classification so the log prints 0x0 instead of the rewritten address.

2026-06-25bpf: Preserve scalar zero spills for stack readsWoojin Ji1-11/+42
Stack reads can read back bytes that belong to a previously spilled scalar constant zero. Today mark_reg_stack_read() only treats STACK_ZERO bytes as known zero bytes, so the destination register can become unknown even though every byte in the read range is known to be zero. This can lead to rejecting otherwise valid programs once the loaded byte is used as a pointer offset. The original reproducer uses a variable-offset stack byte read emitted by clang 22.1.6 at -O2/-O3 from a small helper-based BPF C program. Fixed offset reads have a related mixed case as well: pure scalar-zero spill reads are already handled, but a fixed read spanning both STACK_ZERO and scalar const-zero STACK_SPILL bytes still falls back to unknown. Teach mark_reg_stack_read() to also consider STACK_SPILL bytes backed by a spilled scalar constant zero as zero bytes, and use that path for both variable-offset stack reads and fixed-offset mixed reads. Keep the existing pure register-fill behavior unchanged. When a zero result depends on such a spill, mark the contributing stack slots precise before accepting the const-zero result so pruning cannot reuse a zero-spill state for a later non-zero spill state. No deployed-program regression is currently known, so target bpf-next.

2026-06-25bpf: Reject offset refcount acquire argumentsYiyang Chen1-10/+22
bpf_refcount_acquire() increments the refcount at the caller-supplied pointer plus the refcount field offset, then returns the caller-supplied pointer unchanged. The verifier records the return value as a base pointer to the refcounted object. bpf_list_pop_front() and bpf_rbtree_remove() can return embedded graph-node pointers as PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC with a fixed offset equal to the node field offset. Passing such a pointer directly to bpf_refcount_acquire() currently passes the refcounted-kptr type check. That makes the runtime operation start from base + node_off while the verifier models the returned pointer as the object base. Require refcount-acquire arguments to have zero fixed offset by carrying the requirement through check_func_arg_reg_off() to __check_ptr_off_reg(). Programs can still acquire a refcount from a graph-node-derived pointer after normalizing it with container_of().

2026-06-22bpf: Disable xfrm_decode_session hook attachmentBradley Morgan1-0/+3
BPF LSM programs can currently attach to xfrm_decode_session(). That hook may return an error, but security_skb_classify_flow() calls it from a void path and triggers BUG_ON() if an error is returned.

2026-06-22bpf: Reset register bounds before narrowing retval range in check_mem_access()Tristan Madani1-0/+1
When the BPF verifier processes a context load of an LSM hook return value, it calls __mark_reg_s32_range() to narrow the register to the hook's valid range. However, __mark_reg_s32_range() intersects the new range with the register's existing bounds using max_t()/min_t() rather than replacing them. If the destination register carries stale bounds from a prior instruction (e.g. BPF_MOV64_IMM), the intersection can produce a range narrower than reality. The verifier then believes it knows the register's exact value, while at runtime the actual hook return value is loaded, creating a verifier/runtime mismatch that can be used to bypass BPF memory safety checks. The else branch already calls mark_reg_unknown() to reset register state before any narrowing. Apply the same reset in the is_retval path so stale bounds are cleared before __mark_reg_s32_range() intersects.

2026-06-22bpf: Preserve pointer spill metadata during half-slot cleanupNuoqi Gui1-6/+7
__clean_func_state() cleans dead stack slots in 4-byte halves. When the high half of a STACK_SPILL slot is dead and the low half remains live, cleanup converts the live low half to STACK_MISC or STACK_ZERO and clears the saved spilled_ptr metadata. That conversion is safe only for scalar spills. For a pointer spill, this metadata clear lets a later 32-bit fill from the still-live half avoid the normal non-scalar register-fill check and be treated as an ordinary scalar stack read. Leave non-scalar spill slots intact in this half-live shape. This is conservative for pruning and preserves the existing check_stack_read_fixed_off() rejection path for partial fills from pointer spills.

2026-06-21bpf: Fix effective prog array index with BPF_F_PREORDERAmery Hung1-46/+62
replace_effective_prog() and purge_effective_progs() located the slot in the effective array by walking the program hlist and counting entries linearly. That count does not match the array layout: compute_effective_ progs() places BPF_F_PREORDER programs at the front (ancestor cgroup first, attach order within a cgroup) and the rest after them (descendant cgroup first). So when a preorder program is present, the linear hlist position no longer equals the program's index in the effective array. For replace_effective_prog() (bpf_link_update()) this overwrote the wrong slot, corrupting the effective order. For purge_effective_progs(), it could dummy out a slot belonging to a different program and leave the detached program in the array while bpf_prog_put() drops its reference, i.e. a use-after-free. Fix both by replaying compute_effective_progs()'s placement (including the per-cgroup preorder reversal) in a shared effective_prog_pos() helper. Identify the entry by its struct bpf_prog_list pointer rather than by (prog, link) value, so the lookup resolves to exactly the attachment the syscall selected even when the same bpf_prog is attached to several cgroups in the hierarchy.
