Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 18/22] bpf: Apply the patch list without a verifier env
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 07:52:03 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261030-bpf-verifier-patch-batch-v2-18-55cd43439f7c@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261030-bpf-verifier-patch-batch-v2-0-55cd43439f7c@gmail.com>
Rewrites outside of the verifier, like the blinding of constants in
classic BPF programs, have no verifier env, and core.c is built without
the verifier as well.
bpf_patch_list_commit() needs the env for the aux data and the tables
of the verifier, so these rewrites can't use the patch list.
Add bpf_patch_list_apply(), which builds the new image of a program,
puts it in place and moves its poke descriptors and line info along.
Without the aux data and the tables of the verifier, it can't remove
instructions.
