bpf, arm64: Do not audit capability check in do_jit()

2026-01-11T14:18:39+00:00

[ Upstream commit 189e5deb944a6f9c7992355d60bffd8ec2e54a9c ] Analogically to the x86 commit 881a9c9cb785 ("bpf: Do not audit capability check in do_jit()"), change the capable() call to ns_capable_noaudit() in order to avoid spurious SELinux denials in audit log. The commit log from that commit applies here as well: """ The failure of this check only results in a security mitigation being applied, slightly affecting performance of the compiled BPF program. It doesn't result in a failed syscall, an thus auditing a failed LSM permission check for it is unwanted. For example with SELinux, it causes a denial to be reported for confined processes running as root, which tends to be flagged as a problem to be fixed in the policy. Yet dontauditing or allowing CAP_SYS_ADMIN to the domain may not be desirable, as it would allow/silence also other checks - either going against the principle of least privilege or making debugging potentially harder. Fix it by changing it from capable() to ns_capable_noaudit(), which instructs the LSMs to not audit the resulting denials.

bpf, arm64: Fix address emission with tag-based KASAN enabled

2025-05-22T12:10:09+00:00

commit a552e2ef5fd1a6c78267cd4ec5a9b49aa11bbb1c upstream. When BPF_TRAMP_F_CALL_ORIG is enabled, the address of a bpf_tramp_image struct on the stack is passed during the size calculation pass and an address on the heap is passed during code generation. This may cause a heap buffer overflow if the heap address is tagged because emit_a64_mov_i64() will emit longer code than it did during the size calculation pass. The same problem could occur without tag-based KASAN if one of the 16-bit words of the stack address happened to be all-ones during the size calculation pass. Fix the problem by assuming the worst case (4 instructions) when calculating the size of the bpf_tramp_image address emission.

bpf, arm64: Fix trampoline for BPF_TRAMP_F_CALL_ORIG

2025-05-22T12:10:09+00:00

commit 19d3c179a37730caf600a97fed3794feac2b197b upstream. When BPF_TRAMP_F_CALL_ORIG is set, the trampoline calls __bpf_tramp_enter() and __bpf_tramp_exit() functions, passing them the struct bpf_tramp_image *im pointer as an argument in R0. The trampoline generation code uses emit_addr_mov_i64() to emit instructions for moving the bpf_tramp_image address into R0, but emit_addr_mov_i64() assumes the address to be in the vmalloc() space and uses only 48 bits. Because bpf_tramp_image is allocated using kzalloc(), its address can use more than 48-bits, in this case the trampoline will pass an invalid address to __bpf_tramp_enter/exit() causing a kernel crash. Fix this by using emit_a64_mov_i64() in place of emit_addr_mov_i64() as it can work with addresses that are greater than 48-bits.

arm64: bpf: Only mitigate cBPF programs loaded by unprivileged users

2025-05-18T06:21:25+00:00

commit f300769ead032513a68e4a02e806393402e626f8 upstream. Support for eBPF programs loaded by unprivileged users is typically disabled. This means only cBPF programs need to be mitigated for BHB. In addition, only mitigate cBPF programs that were loaded by an unprivileged user. Privileged users can also load the same program via eBPF, making the mitigation pointless.

bpf, arm64: Remove garbage frame for struct_ops trampoline

2024-12-14T18:53:29+00:00

[ Upstream commit 87cb58aebdf7005661a07e9fd5a900f924d48c75 ] The callsite layout for arm64 fentry is: mov x9, lr nop When a bpf prog is attached, the nop instruction is patched to a call to bpf trampoline: mov x9, lr bl So two return addresses are passed to bpf trampoline: the return address for the traced function/prog, stored in x9, and the return address for the bpf trampoline itself, stored in lr. To obtain a full and accurate call stack, the bpf trampoline constructs two fake function frames using x9 and lr. However, struct_ops progs are invoked directly as function callbacks, meaning that x9 is not set as it is in the fentry callsite. In this case, the frame constructed using x9 is garbage. The following stack trace for struct_ops, captured by perf sampling, illustrates this issue, where tcp_ack+0x404 is a garbage frame: ffffffc0801a04b4 bpf_prog_50992e55a0f655a9_bpf_cubic_cong_avoid+0x98 (bpf_prog_50992e55a0f655a9_bpf_cubic_cong_avoid) ffffffc0801a228c [unknown] ([kernel.kallsyms]) // bpf trampoline ffffffd08d362590 tcp_ack+0x798 ([kernel.kallsyms]) // caller for bpf trampoline ffffffd08d3621fc tcp_ack+0x404 ([kernel.kallsyms]) // garbage frame ffffffd08d36452c tcp_rcv_established+0x4ac ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffd08d375c58 tcp_v4_do_rcv+0x1f0 ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffd08d378630 tcp_v4_rcv+0xeb8 ([kernel.kallsyms]) To fix it, construct only one frame using lr for struct_ops. The above stack trace also indicates that there is no kernel symbol for struct_ops bpf trampoline. This will be addressed in a follow-up patch.

bpf: Remove prog->active check for bpf_lsm and bpf_iter

2023-09-19T10:28:03+00:00

[ Upstream commit 271de525e1d7f564e88a9d212c50998b49a54476 ] The commit 64696c40d03c ("bpf: Add __bpf_prog_{enter,exit}_struct_ops for struct_ops trampoline") removed prog->active check for struct_ops prog. The bpf_lsm and bpf_iter is also using trampoline. Like struct_ops, the bpf_lsm and bpf_iter have fixed hooks for the prog to attach. The kernel does not call the same hook in a recursive way. This patch also removes the prog->active check for bpf_lsm and bpf_iter. A later patch has a test to reproduce the recursion issue for a sleepable bpf_lsm program. This patch appends the '_recur' naming to the existing enter and exit functions that track the prog->active counter. New __bpf_prog_{enter,exit}[_sleepable] function are added to skip the prog->active tracking. The '_struct_ops' version is also removed. It also moves the decision on picking the enter and exit function to the new bpf_trampoline_{enter,exit}(). It returns the '_recur' ones for all tracing progs to use. For bpf_lsm, bpf_iter, struct_ops (no prog->active tracking after 64696c40d03c), and bpf_lsm_cgroup (no prog->active tracking after 69fd337a975c7), it will return the functions that don't track the prog->active.

bpf, arm64: Fix BTI type used for freplace attached functions

[ Upstream commit a3f25d614bc73b45e8f02adc6769876dfd16ca84 ] When running an freplace attached bpf program on an arm64 system w were seeing the following issue: Unhandled 64-bit el1h sync exception on CPU47, ESR 0x0000000036000003 -- BTI After a bit of work to track it down I determined that what appeared to be happening is that the 'bti c' at the start of the program was somehow being reached after a 'br' instruction. Further digging pointed me toward the fact that the function was attached via freplace. This in turn led me to build_plt which I believe is invoking the long jump which is triggering this error. To resolve it we can replace the 'bti c' with 'bti jc' and add a comment explaining why this has to be modified as such.

bpf, arm64: Fixed a BTI error on returning to patched function

[ Upstream commit 738a96c4a8c36950803fdd27e7c30aca92dccefd ] When BPF_TRAMP_F_CALL_ORIG is set, BPF trampoline uses BLR to jump back to the instruction next to call site to call the patched function.
