Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 2/2] selftests/bpf: Test bpf_security_locked_down kfunc
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2026 07:20:41 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260815112041.1248855-3-utilityemal77@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260815112041.1248855-1-utilityemal77@gmail.com>
Test the bpf_security_locked_down() kfunc. An LSM program attached to
the locked_down hook denies LOCKDOWN_HIBERNATION, so a syscall program
querying the kfunc observes both verdicts deterministically without
touching real lockdown state: 0 for LOCKDOWN_KEXEC and -EPERM for
LOCKDOWN_HIBERNATION. Out-of-range reasons must return -EINVAL.
Programs in denied calling contexts (a tracing program, and an LSM
program attached to the locked_down hook itself) must be rejected at
load time by the kfunc filter.
The selftest config guarantees the verdicts are stable: the bpf LSM is
in CONFIG_LSM and the lockdown LSM is not, so the kernel cannot already
be locked down.
