Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v9 2/8] bpf: add BPF_JIT_KASAN for KASAN instrumentation of JITed programs
Date: Thu, 03 Sep 2026 15:51:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903-kasan-v9-2-2407fe99255a@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903-kasan-v9-0-2407fe99255a@bootlin.com>
Add a new Kconfig option CONFIG_BPF_JIT_KASAN that automatically enables
generic KASAN (Kernel Address SANitizer) memory access checks for
JIT-compiled BPF programs as well, when both KASAN (and more
specifically, generic KASAN with KASAN_VMALLOC) and JIT compiler are
enabled. This new Kconfig is not a user selectable one: it is
automatically enabled if KASAN is enabled on a compatible platform. When
enabled, the JIT compiler will emit shadow memory checks before memory
loads and stores to detect use-after-free or out-of-bounds accesses at
runtime. The option is gated behind HAVE_EBPF_JIT_KASAN, as it needs
proper arch-specific implementation.

Changes in v6:
- fix commit msg
- get rid of "if KASAN" when setting default value, already implied by
KASAN_GENERIC
Changes in v4:
- reorganize dependencies (Andrey)
- drop VMAP_STACK dependency
Changes in v2:
- add dependency on kasan for vmalloc and vmalloc'ed stack
