Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 06/10] bpf, x86: emit KASAN checks into x86 JITed programs
Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2026 12:02:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701-kasan-v3-6-bd09bb942d86@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701-kasan-v3-0-bd09bb942d86@bootlin.com>
Insert KASAN shadow memory checks before memory load and store
operations in JIT-compiled BPF programs. This helps detect memory safety
bugs such as use-after-free and out-of-bounds accesses at runtime.
The main instructions being targeted are BPF_ST, BPF_STX and BPF_LDX,
but not all of them are being instrumented:
- if the load/store instruction is in fact accessing the program stack,
emit_kasan_check silently skips the instrumentation, as we already
have page guards to monitor stack accesses.
- if the load/store instruction is a BPF_PROBE_MEM or a BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC
instruction, we do not instrument it, as the passed address can fault
(hence the custom fault management with BPF_PROBE_XXX instructions),
and so the corresponding kasan check could fault as well.
Signed-off-by: Alexis Lothoré (eBPF Foundation) <alexis.lothore@bootlin.com>

Changes in v3:
- fix LLVM23 build failure
Changes in v2:
- support BPF_ATOMICS
- support BPF_ST
- make sure to systematically pass correct instruction to kasan check
