2025-12-09bpf: Add bpf_has_frame_pointer()Josh Poimboeuf1-0/+16
Introduce a bpf_has_frame_pointer() helper that unwinders can call to determine whether a given instruction pointer is within the valid frame pointer region of a BPF JIT program or trampoline (i.e., after the prologue, before the epilogue). This will enable livepatch (with the ORC unwinder) to reliably unwind through BPF JIT frames.

2025-11-24bpf: specify the old and new poke_type for bpf_arch_text_pokeMenglong Dong1-2/+3
In the origin logic, the bpf_arch_text_poke() assume that the old and new instructions have the same opcode. However, they can have different opcode if we want to replace a "call" insn with a "jmp" insn. Therefore, add the new function parameter "old_t" along with the "new_t", which are used to indicate the old and new poke type. Meanwhile, adjust the implement of bpf_arch_text_poke() for all the archs. "BPF_MOD_NOP" is added to make the code more readable. In bpf_arch_text_poke(), we still check if the new and old address is NULL to determine if nop insn should be used, which I think is more safe.

2025-11-05bpf, x86: add support for indirect jumpsAnton Protopopov1-0/+1
Add support for a new instruction BPF_JMP|BPF_X|BPF_JA, SRC=0, DST=Rx, off=0, imm=0 which does an indirect jump to a location stored in Rx. The register Rx should have type PTR_TO_INSN. This new type assures that the Rx register contains a value (or a range of values) loaded from a correct jump table – map of type instruction array. For example, for a C switch LLVM will generate the following code: 0: r3 = r1 # "switch (r3)" 1: if r3 > 0x13 goto +0x666 # check r3 boundaries 2: r3 <<= 0x3 # adjust to an index in array of addresses 3: r1 = 0xbeef ll # r1 is PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE, r1->map_ptr=M 5: r1 += r3 # r1 inherits boundaries from r3 6: r1 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 0x0) # r1 now has type INSN_TO_PTR 7: gotox r1 # jit will generate proper code Here the gotox instruction corresponds to one particular map. This is possible however to have a gotox instruction which can be loaded from different maps, e.g. 0: r1 &= 0x1 1: r2 <<= 0x3 2: r3 = 0x0 ll # load from map M_1 4: r3 += r2 5: if r1 == 0x0 goto +0x4 6: r1 <<= 0x3 7: r3 = 0x0 ll # load from map M_2 9: r3 += r1 A: r1 = *(u64 *)(r3 + 0x0) B: gotox r1 # jump to target loaded from M_1 or M_2 During check_cfg stage the verifier will collect all the maps which point to inside the subprog being verified. When building the config, the high 16 bytes of the insn_state are used, so this patch (theoretically) supports jump tables of up to 2^16 slots. During the later stage, in check_indirect_jump, it is checked that the register Rx was loaded from a particular instruction array.

2025-09-27bpf: Enforce expected_attach_type for tailcall compatibilityDaniel Borkmann1-0/+5
Yinhao et al. recently reported: Our fuzzer tool discovered an uninitialized pointer issue in the bpf_prog_test_run_xdp() function within the Linux kernel's BPF subsystem. This leads to a NULL pointer dereference when a BPF program attempts to deference the txq member of struct xdp_buff object. The test initializes two programs of BPF_PROG_TYPE_XDP: progA acts as the entry point for bpf_prog_test_run_xdp() and its expected_attach_type can neither be of be BPF_XDP_DEVMAP nor BPF_XDP_CPUMAP. progA calls into a slot of a tailcall map it owns. progB's expected_attach_type must be BPF_XDP_DEVMAP to pass xdp_is_valid_access() validation. The program returns struct xdp_md's egress_ifindex, and the latter is only allowed to be accessed under mentioned expected_attach_type. progB is then inserted into the tailcall which progA calls. The underlying issue goes beyond XDP though. Another example are programs of type BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR. sock_addr_is_valid_access() as well as sock_addr_func_proto() have different logic depending on the programs' expected_attach_type. Similarly, a program attached to BPF_CGROUP_INET4_GETPEERNAME should not be allowed doing a tailcall into a program which calls bpf_bind() out of BPF which is only enabled for BPF_CGROUP_INET4_CONNECT. In short, specifying expected_attach_type allows to open up additional functionality or restrictions beyond what the basic bpf_prog_type enables. The use of tailcalls must not violate these constraints. Fix it by enforcing expected_attach_type in __bpf_prog_map_compatible(). Note that we only enforce this for tailcall maps, but not for BPF devmaps or cpumaps: There, the programs are invoked through dev_map_bpf_prog_run*() and cpu_map_bpf_prog_run*() which set up a new environment / context and therefore these situations are not prone to this issue.

2025-07-31bpf: Fix oob access in cgroup local storageDaniel Borkmann1-0/+15
Lonial reported that an out-of-bounds access in cgroup local storage can be crafted via tail calls. Given two programs each utilizing a cgroup local storage with a different value size, and one program doing a tail call into the other. The verifier will validate each of the indivial programs just fine. However, in the runtime context the bpf_cg_run_ctx holds an bpf_prog_array_item which contains the BPF program as well as any cgroup local storage flavor the program uses. Helpers such as bpf_get_local_storage() pick this up from the runtime context: ctx = container_of(current->bpf_ctx, struct bpf_cg_run_ctx, run_ctx); storage = ctx->prog_item->cgroup_storage[stype]; if (stype == BPF_CGROUP_STORAGE_SHARED) ptr = &READ_ONCE(storage->buf)->data[0]; else ptr = this_cpu_ptr(storage->percpu_buf); For the second program which was called from the originally attached one, this means bpf_get_local_storage() will pick up the former program's map, not its own. With mismatching sizes, this can result in an unintended out-of-bounds access. To fix this issue, we need to extend bpf_map_owner with an array of storage_cookie[] to match on i) the exact maps from the original program if the second program was using bpf_get_local_storage(), or ii) allow the tail call combination if the second program was not using any of the cgroup local storage maps.

2025-07-03bpf: Add function to find program from stack traceKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-0/+33
In preparation of figuring out the closest program that led to the current point in the kernel, implement a function that scans through the stack trace and finds out the closest BPF program when walking down the stack trace. Special care needs to be taken to skip over kernel and BPF subprog frames. We basically scan until we find a BPF main prog frame. The assumption is that if a program calls into us transitively, we'll hit it along the way. If not, we end up returning NULL. Contextually the function will be used in places where we know the program may have called into us. Due to reliance on arch_bpf_stack_walk(), this function only works on x86 with CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC, arm64, and s390.

2025-07-03bpf: Introduce BPF standard streamsKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-0/+5
Add support for a stream API to the kernel and expose related kfuncs to BPF programs. Two streams are exposed, BPF_STDOUT and BPF_STDERR. These can be used for printing messages that can be consumed from user space, thus it's similar in spirit to existing trace_pipe interface. The kernel will use the BPF_STDERR stream to notify the program of any errors encountered at runtime. BPF programs themselves may use both streams for writing debug messages. BPF library-like code may use BPF_STDERR to print warnings or errors on misuse at runtime. The implementation of a stream is as follows. Everytime a message is emitted from the kernel (directly, or through a BPF program), a record is allocated by bump allocating from per-cpu region backed by a page obtained using alloc_pages_nolock(). This ensures that we can allocate memory from any context. The eventual plan is to discard this scheme in favor of Alexei's kmalloc_nolock() [0]. This record is then locklessly inserted into a list (llist_add()) so that the printing side doesn't require holding any locks, and works in any context. Each stream has a maximum capacity of 4MB of text, and each printed message is accounted against this limit. Messages from a program are emitted using the bpf_stream_vprintk kfunc, which takes a stream_id argument in addition to working otherwise similar to bpf_trace_vprintk. The bprintf buffer helpers are extracted out to be reused for printing the string into them before copying it into the stream, so that we can (with the defined max limit) format a string and know its true length before performing allocations of the stream element. For consuming elements from a stream, we expose a bpf(2) syscall command named BPF_PROG_STREAM_READ_BY_FD, which allows reading data from the stream of a given prog_fd into a user space buffer. The main logic is implemented in bpf_stream_read(). The log messages are queued in bpf_stream::log by the bpf_stream_vprintk kfunc, and then pulled and ordered correctly in the stream backlog. For this purpose, we hold a lock around bpf_stream_backlog_peek(), as llist_del_first() (if we maintained a second lockless list for the backlog) wouldn't be safe from multiple threads anyway. Then, if we fail to find something in the backlog log, we splice out everything from the lockless log, and place it in the backlog log, and then return the head of the backlog. Once the full length of the element is consumed, we will pop it and free it. The lockless list bpf_stream::log is a LIFO stack. Elements obtained using a llist_del_all() operation are in LIFO order, thus would break the chronological ordering if printed directly. Hence, this batch of messages is first reversed. Then, it is stashed into a separate list in the stream, i.e. the backlog_log. The head of this list is the actual message that should always be returned to the caller. All of this is done in bpf_stream_backlog_fill(). From the kernel side, the writing into the stream will be a bit more involved than the typical printk. First, the kernel typically may print a collection of messages into the stream, and parallel writers into the stream may suffer from interleaving of messages. To ensure each group of messages is visible atomically, we can lift the advantage of using a lockless list for pushing in messages. To enable this, we add a bpf_stream_stage() macro, and require kernel users to use bpf_stream_printk statements for the passed expression to write into the stream. Underneath the macro, we have a message staging API, where a bpf_stream_stage object on the stack accumulates the messages being printed into a local llist_head, and then a commit operation splices the whole batch into the stream's lockless log list. This is especially pertinent for rqspinlock deadlock messages printed to program streams. After this change, we see each deadlock invocation as a non-interleaving contiguous message without any confusion on the reader's part, improving their user experience in debugging the fault. While programs cannot benefit from this staged stream writing API, they could just as well hold an rqspinlock around their print statements to serialize messages, hence this is kept kernel-internal for now. Overall, this infrastructure provides NMI-safe any context printing of messages to two dedicated streams. Later patches will add support for printing splats in case of BPF arena page faults, rqspinlock deadlocks, and cond_break timeouts, and integration of this facility into bpftool for dumping messages to user space.

2025-06-09bpf, arm64, powerpc: Change nospec to include v1 barrierLuis Gerhorst1-8/+9
This changes the semantics of BPF_NOSPEC (previously a v4-only barrier) to always emit a speculation barrier that works against both Spectre v1 AND v4. If mitigation is not needed on an architecture, the backend should set bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v4/v1(). As of now, this commit only has the user-visible implication that unpriv BPF's performance on PowerPC is reduced. This is the case because we have to emit additional v1 barrier instructions for BPF_NOSPEC now. This commit is required for a future commit to allow us to rely on BPF_NOSPEC for Spectre v1 mitigation. As of this commit, the feature that nospec acts as a v1 barrier is unused. Commit f5e81d111750 ("bpf: Introduce BPF nospec instruction for mitigating Spectre v4") noted that mitigation instructions for v1 and v4 might be different on some archs. While this would potentially offer improved performance on PowerPC, it was dismissed after the following considerations: * Only having one barrier simplifies the verifier and allows us to easily rely on v4-induced barriers for reducing the complexity of v1-induced speculative path verification. * For the architectures that implemented BPF_NOSPEC, only PowerPC has distinct instructions for v1 and v4. Even there, some insns may be shared between the barriers for v1 and v4 (e.g., 'ori 31,31,0' and 'sync'). If this is still found to impact performance in an unacceptable way, BPF_NOSPEC can be split into BPF_NOSPEC_V1 and BPF_NOSPEC_V4 later. As an optimization, we can already skip v1/v4 insns from being emitted for PowerPC with this setup if bypass_spec_v1/v4 is set. Vulnerability-status for BPF_NOSPEC-based Spectre mitigations (v4 as of this commit, v1 in the future) is therefore: * x86 (32-bit and 64-bit), ARM64, and PowerPC (64-bit): Mitigated - This patch implements BPF_NOSPEC for these architectures. The previous v4-only version was supported since commit f5e81d111750 ("bpf: Introduce BPF nospec instruction for mitigating Spectre v4") and commit b7540d625094 ("powerpc/bpf: Emit stf barrier instruction sequences for BPF_NOSPEC"). * LoongArch: Not Vulnerable - Commit a6f6a95f2580 ("LoongArch, bpf: Fix jit to skip speculation barrier opcode") is the only other past commit related to BPF_NOSPEC and indicates that the insn is not required there. * MIPS: Vulnerable (if unprivileged BPF is enabled) - Commit a6f6a95f2580 ("LoongArch, bpf: Fix jit to skip speculation barrier opcode") indicates that it is not vulnerable, but this contradicts the kernel and Debian documentation. Therefore, I assume that there exist vulnerable MIPS CPUs (but maybe not from Loongson?). In the future, BPF_NOSPEC could be implemented for MIPS based on the GCC speculation_barrier [1]. For now, we rely on unprivileged BPF being disabled by default. * Other: Unknown - To the best of my knowledge there is no definitive information available that indicates that any other arch is vulnerable. They are therefore left untouched (BPF_NOSPEC is not implemented, but bypass_spec_v1/v4 is also not set). I did the following testing to ensure the insn encoding is correct: * ARM64: * 'dsb nsh; isb' was successfully tested with the BPF CI in [2] * 'sb' locally using QEMU v7.2.15 -cpu max (emitted sb insn is executed for example with './test_progs -t verifier_array_access') * PowerPC: The following configs were tested locally with ppc64le QEMU v8.2 '-machine pseries -cpu POWER9': * STF_BARRIER_EIEIO + CONFIG_PPC_BOOK32_64 * STF_BARRIER_SYNC_ORI (forced on) + CONFIG_PPC_BOOK32_64 * STF_BARRIER_FALLBACK (forced on) + CONFIG_PPC_BOOK32_64 * CONFIG_PPC_E500 (forced on) + STF_BARRIER_EIEIO * CONFIG_PPC_E500 (forced on) + STF_BARRIER_SYNC_ORI (forced on) * CONFIG_PPC_E500 (forced on) + STF_BARRIER_FALLBACK (forced on) * CONFIG_PPC_E500 (forced on) + STF_BARRIER_NONE (forced on) Most of those cobinations should not occur in practice, but I was not able to get an PPC e6500 rootfs (for testing PPC_E500 without forcing it on). In any case, this should ensure that there are no unexpected conflicts between the insns when combined like this. Individual v1/v4 barriers were already emitted elsewhere. Hari's ack is for the PowerPC changes only.

2025-06-09bpf, arm64, powerpc: Add bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v1/v4()Luis Gerhorst1-0/+15
JITs can set bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v1/v4() if they want the verifier to skip analysis/patching for the respective vulnerability. For v4, this will reduce the number of barriers the verifier inserts. For v1, it allows more programs to be accepted. The primary motivation for this is to not regress unpriv BPF's performance on ARM64 in a future commit where BPF_NOSPEC is also used against Spectre v1. This has the user-visible change that v1-induced rejections on non-vulnerable PowerPC CPUs are avoided. For now, this does not change the semantics of BPF_NOSPEC. It is still a v4-only barrier and must not be implemented if bypass_spec_v4 is always true for the arch. Changing it to a v1 AND v4-barrier is done in a future commit. As an alternative to bypass_spec_v1/v4, one could introduce NOSPEC_V1 AND NOSPEC_V4 instructions and allow backends to skip their lowering as suggested by commit f5e81d111750 ("bpf: Introduce BPF nospec instruction for mitigating Spectre v4"). Adding bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v1/v4() was found to be preferable for the following reason: * bypass_spec_v1/v4 benefits non-vulnerable CPUs: Always performing the same analysis (not taking into account whether the current CPU is vulnerable), needlessly restricts users of CPUs that are not vulnerable. The only use case for this would be portability-testing, but this can later be added easily when needed by allowing users to force bypass_spec_v1/v4 to false. * Portability is still acceptable: Directly disabling the analysis instead of skipping the lowering of BPF_NOSPEC(_V1/V4) might allow programs on non-vulnerable CPUs to be accepted while the program will be rejected on vulnerable CPUs. With the fallback to speculation barriers for Spectre v1 implemented in a future commit, this will only affect programs that do variable stack-accesses or are very complex. For PowerPC, the SEC_FTR checking in bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v4() is based on the check that was previously located in the BPF_NOSPEC case. For LoongArch, it would likely be safe to set both bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v1() and _v4() according to commit a6f6a95f2580 ("LoongArch, bpf: Fix jit to skip speculation barrier opcode"). This is omitted here as I am unable to do any testing for LoongArch. Hari's ack concerns the PowerPC part only.

2025-03-15bpf: Introduce load-acquire and store-release instructionsPeilin Ye1-6/+61
Introduce BPF instructions with load-acquire and store-release semantics, as discussed in [1]. Define 2 new flags: #define BPF_LOAD_ACQ 0x100 #define BPF_STORE_REL 0x110 A "load-acquire" is a BPF_STX | BPF_ATOMIC instruction with the 'imm' field set to BPF_LOAD_ACQ (0x100). Similarly, a "store-release" is a BPF_STX | BPF_ATOMIC instruction with the 'imm' field set to BPF_STORE_REL (0x110). Unlike existing atomic read-modify-write operations that only support BPF_W (32-bit) and BPF_DW (64-bit) size modifiers, load-acquires and store-releases also support BPF_B (8-bit) and BPF_H (16-bit). As an exception, however, 64-bit load-acquires/store-releases are not supported on 32-bit architectures (to fix a build error reported by the kernel test robot). An 8- or 16-bit load-acquire zero-extends the value before writing it to a 32-bit register, just like ARM64 instruction LDARH and friends. Similar to existing atomic read-modify-write operations, misaligned load-acquires/store-releases are not allowed (even if BPF_F_ANY_ALIGNMENT is set). As an example, consider the following 64-bit load-acquire BPF instruction (assuming little-endian): db 10 00 00 00 01 00 00 r0 = load_acquire((u64 *)(r1 + 0x0)) opcode (0xdb): BPF_ATOMIC | BPF_DW | BPF_STX imm (0x00000100): BPF_LOAD_ACQ Similarly, a 16-bit BPF store-release: cb 21 00 00 10 01 00 00 store_release((u16 *)(r1 + 0x0), w2) opcode (0xcb): BPF_ATOMIC | BPF_H | BPF_STX imm (0x00000110): BPF_STORE_REL In arch/{arm64,s390,x86}/net/bpf_jit_comp.c, have bpf_jit_supports_insn(..., /*in_arena=*/true) return false for the new instructions, until the corresponding JIT compiler supports them in arena.

2025-03-15bpf: Add verifier support for timed may_gotoKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-0/+26
Implement support in the verifier for replacing may_goto implementation from a counter-based approach to one which samples time on the local CPU to have a bigger loop bound. We implement it by maintaining 16-bytes per-stack frame, and using 8 bytes for maintaining the count for amortizing time sampling, and 8 bytes for the starting timestamp. To minimize overhead, we need to avoid spilling and filling of registers around this sequence, so we push this cost into the time sampling function 'arch_bpf_timed_may_goto'. This is a JIT-specific wrapper around bpf_check_timed_may_goto which returns us the count to store into the stack through BPF_REG_AX. All caller-saved registers (r0-r5) are guaranteed to remain untouched. The loop can be broken by returning count as 0, otherwise we dispatch into the function when the count drops to 0, and the runtime chooses to refresh it (by returning count as BPF_MAX_TIMED_LOOPS) or returning 0 and aborting the loop on next iteration. Since the check for 0 is done right after loading the count from the stack, all subsequent cond_break sequences should immediately break as well, of the same loop or subsequent loops in the program. We pass in the stack_depth of the count (and thus the timestamp, by adding 8 to it) to the arch_bpf_timed_may_goto call so that it can be passed in to bpf_check_timed_may_goto as an argument after r1 is saved, by adding the offset to r10/fp. This adjustment will be arch specific, and the next patch will introduce support for x86. Note that depending on loop complexity, time spent in the loop can be more than the current limit (250 ms), but imposing an upper bound on program runtime is an orthogonal problem which will be addressed when program cancellations are supported. The current time afforded by cond_break may not be enough for cases where BPF programs want to implement locking algorithms inline, and use cond_break as a promise to the verifier that they will eventually terminate. Below are some benchmarking numbers on the time taken per-iteration for an empty loop that counts the number of iterations until cond_break fires. For comparison, we compare it against bpf_for/bpf_repeat which is another way to achieve the same number of spins (BPF_MAX_LOOPS). The hardware used for benchmarking was a Sapphire Rapids Intel server with performance governor enabled, mitigations were enabled. +-----------------------------+--------------+--------------+------------------+ | Loop type | Iterations | Time (ms) | Time/iter (ns) | +-----------------------------|--------------+--------------+------------------+ | may_goto | 8388608 | 3 | 0.36 | | timed_may_goto (count=65535)| 589674932 | 250 | 0.42 | | bpf_for | 8388608 | 10 | 1.19 | +-----------------------------+--------------+--------------+------------------+ This gives a good approximation at low overhead while staying close to the current implementation.

2025-02-14bpf: Fix array bounds error with may_gotoJiayuan Chen1-4/+15
may_goto uses an additional 8 bytes on the stack, which causes the interpreters[] array to go out of bounds when calculating index by stack_size. 1. If a BPF program is rewritten, re-evaluate the stack size. For non-JIT cases, reject loading directly. 2. For non-JIT cases, calculating interpreters[idx] may still cause out-of-bounds array access, and just warn about it. 3. For jit_requested cases, the execution of bpf_func also needs to be warned. So move the definition of function __bpf_prog_ret0_warn out of the macro definition CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON.
