That will fail when layer 0 has quiet flag on the object, at which point
since youngest_layer starts from 0, we will reach this branch with
should_quiet initialized earlier to false, but layer_has_quiet == true.
Also, if should_quiet != layer_has_quiet is always false here, then the
next line is not necessary.

Would it be clearer to do should_quiet |= layer_has_quiet, mimicking the

Why are we checking current here? IIUC this will be whoever calls
bpf(2), which would be the loader, which would then be able to load bpf
programs from an untrusted source.
In the kmod case loadpin_check() sees the .ko itself.

I'll be honest and say I'm a bit surprised to see this patchset,
especially since KP and Alexei argued so strongly against this
signature scheme, preferring KP's scheme where the loader verified the
maps. I'd be curious to hear the reason for the change of heart if
you can share it. Regardless of the motivation for this change, I
obviously think this is a significant improvement over KP's signature
scheme which shipped in Linux v6.18.
I also think it is worth mentioning the similarities to work Blaise
did before the most recent Hornet version:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-security-module/20250929213520.1821223-1-bboscaccy@linux.microsoft.com/
While Blaise's patchset added to the UAPI, that was done simply to
retain compatibility with KP's signature scheme; your patchset does
without any UAPI additions, but loses compatibility with existing
signed lskels. Beyond that, the basic signature scheme between
Blaise's patchset and what you are proposing appears the same ...
which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.

* [PATCH] Add LoadPin support for eBPF program loading

Add LoadPin LSM hook to bpf_prog_load to prevent loading of BPF
programs from untrusted filesystems
---
There have been several efforts to provide a trust mechanism for eBPF programs –
particularly in the form of a signed program. After many discussions, BPF
Signing became supported [1].
This patch series intends to provide an alternative trust mechanism for eBPF
programs using LoadPin and the LoadPin dm-verity support. The approach is to pin
eBPF userspace loaders to a single filesystem or to one or more dm-verity
integrity protected filesystems. This is similar to the existing Loadpin+verity
implementation and approach of e.g., loading unsigned kernel modules or kexec
images from a pinned trusted filesystem [2].
When a userspace application attempts to load a BPF program, LoadPin
first checks whether the exe_file is located on the pinned root, if so
bpf_prog_load is allowed. Otherwise, Loadpin denies bpf_prog_load. Additionally,
if verity support is enabled, LoadPin determines whether the exe_file is located
on a verity backed device and whether the root digest of that device is in the
list of trusted digests. bpf_prog_load is allowed if the verity device has a
trusted root digest.
Background:
In a secure boot environment, secure boot can be extended to the root filesystem
by means of dm-verity. Placing userspace eBPF programs on trusted filesystems
and restricting their use to a trusted filesystem implicitly extends the trust
to the underlying BPF program itself, without having to sign the bytecode.
Rather than sign each program and load keys into the kernel keyring, it can be
sufficient to sign the filesystem.
Additional Considerations:
Because the userspace loader itself defines the filesystem to pin from, it
should be acknowledged that this does not necessarily solve the dynamically
generated eBPF usecase. For example, if the pinned filesystem includes bpftrace
or other userspace applications that dynamically generate and load eBPF
bytecode, this trust mechanism does not apply. But for systems that either
1) remove/do-not-provide dynamically generating programs or
2) loadpin filesystem(s) that exclude such programs,
then it can be reasoned that only trusted bytecode is loaded.

* [PATCH v5 4/6] selftests/landlock: Add tests for UDP send
From: Matthieu Buffet @ 2026-06-11 16:21 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: Mickaël Salaün, Günther Noack
Cc: linux-security-module, Mikhail Ivanov, konstantin.meskhidze,
Tingmao Wang, netdev, Matthieu Buffet
In-Reply-To: <20260611162107.49278-1-matthieu@buffet.re>
Add tests specific to UDP sendmsg() in the protocol_* variants to ensure
behaviour is consistent across AF_INET, AF_INET6 and AF_UNIX.

* [PATCH v5 2/6] landlock: Add UDP send+connect access control
From: Matthieu Buffet @ 2026-06-11 16:21 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: Mickaël Salaün, Günther Noack
Cc: linux-security-module, Mikhail Ivanov, konstantin.meskhidze,
Tingmao Wang, netdev, Matthieu Buffet
In-Reply-To: <20260611162107.49278-1-matthieu@buffet.re>
Add support for a second fine-grained UDP access right.
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_CONNECT_SEND_UDP controls the ability to set the
remote port of a socket (via connect()) and to specify an explicit
destination when sending a datagram, to override any remote peer set on
a UDP socket (e.g. in sendto() or sendmsg()).
It will be useful for applications that send datagrams, and for some
servers too (those creating per-client sockets, which want to receive
traffic only from a specific address).
Similarly as for bind(), this access control is performed when
configuring sockets, not in hot code paths.
Add detection of when autobind is about to be required, and deny the
operation if the process would not be allowed to call bind(0)
explicitly. Autobind can only be performed in udp_lib_get_port() from
code paths already controlled by LSM hooks: when connect()ing,
sending a first datagram, and in some splice() EOF edge case which,
afaiu, can only happen after a remote peer has been set. This invariant
needs to be preserved to keep bind policies actually enforced.

* [PATCH v5 1/6] landlock: Add UDP bind() access control
From: Matthieu Buffet @ 2026-06-11 16:21 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: Mickaël Salaün, Günther Noack
Cc: linux-security-module, Mikhail Ivanov, konstantin.meskhidze,

In-Reply-To: <20260611162107.49278-1-matthieu@buffet.re>
Add support for a first fine-grained UDP access right.
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_BIND_UDP controls the ability to set the local port
of a UDP socket (via bind()). It will be useful for servers (to start
receiving datagrams), and for some clients that need to use a specific
source port (e.g. mDNS requires to use port 5353)
For obvious performance concerns, access control is only enforced when
configuring sockets, not when using them for common send/recv
operations.
Bump ABI to allow userspace to detect and use this new right.

* [PATCH v5 0/6] landlock: Add UDP access control support
From: Matthieu Buffet @ 2026-06-11 16:21 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: Mickaël Salaün, Günther Noack
Cc: linux-security-module, Mikhail Ivanov, konstantin.meskhidze,
Tingmao Wang, netdev, Matthieu Buffet
Hi,
This is V5 (hopefully final) of UDP access control in Landlock. It has
very few changes compared to v4, described below, all feedback given so
far should be in there (if not that's a mistake on my part). It adds
only two access rights, to restrict configuring local and remote
addresses on UDP sockets. The one that restricts setting a remote
address also controls sending datagrams to explicit remote addresses
-ignoring any remote address preset on the socket-. The one that
restricts binding to a local port also applies when the kernel
auto-binds an ephemeral port.
Changes v1->v2
==============
- recvmsg hook is gone and sendmsg hook doesn't apply when sending to a
remote address pre-set on socket, to improve performance
- don't add a get_addr_port() helper function, which required a weird
"am I in IPv4 or IPv6 context"
- reorder hook prologue for consistency: check domain, then type and
family
Changes v2->v3
==============
- removed support for sending datagrams with explicit destination
address of family AF_UNSPEC, which allowed to bypass restrictions with
a race condition
- rebased on linux-mic/next => add support for auditing
- fixed mistake in selftests when using unspec_srv variables, which were
implicitly of type SOCK_STREAM and did not actually test UDP code
- add tests for IPPROTO_IP
- improved docs, split off TCP-related refactoring
Changes v3->v4
==============
- merge LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_CONNECT_UDP and
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_SENDTO_UDP into
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_CONNECT_SEND_UDP (everything that might set the
destination of a datagram)
- make LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_BIND_UDP apply when kernel is about to
auto-bind an ephemeral port for the caller. Block it if policy would
not allow an explicit call to bind(0)
- only deny sending AF_UNSPEC datagrams on IPv6 sockets, where there is
a risk of the address family changing midway
Changes v4->v5
==============
- fix unmarked racy socket address family accesses
- fix improper bind(0) autobind access check when connecting to AF_UNSPEC
- fix example code structure in documentation to match pattern of usage
used in the rest of the code
- fix bad copy-pastes in selftests, and some unimportant variable types
- squash LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_CONNECT_SEND_UDP commits
- add a small help note in sandboxer to point out the need to allow
binding a source port when emitting, to reduce surprises if people
try to get a feeling of the feature through sandboxer before reading
the docs

No, the allmodconfig builds are currently using LLVM - there's other
issues with rust+GCC, right now KASAN IIRC, and it generally seems like
it'll be more reliable to use LLVM to get the coverage. Both compilers
need to work anyway.

Add SLAB_NO_MERGE to cred_jar to ensure struct cred objects get
dedicated slab pages, preventing the allocator from merging this
cache with other similarly-sized caches. This is a hardening measure
to provide type isolation for credential objects.

No false positive in there afaict (e.g. connect(AF_UNSPEC) does not
trigger an autobind but was indeed incorrectly subjected to a bind(0)
access check).
I have just finished merging small fixes. Thanks!

Just as an FYI, the patch seems reasonable to me, but considering
where we are in the dev cycle I figured it best to wait until after
the upcoming merge window to do anything with it.

This closes a gap where the loader metadata was left outside the program
signature. The signing path in bpftool_prog_sign() was introduced by commit
40863f4d6ef2 ("bpftool: Add support for signing BPF programs"), which fed
only opts->insns to the signature and set only sopts.insns/sopts.insns_sz in
gen_trace(). Should this carry a Fixes: tag?

* [PATCH bpf-next 5/5] Documentation/bpf: Add BPF signing and enforcement doc
From: Daniel Borkmann @ 2026-06-10 23:03 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: ast
Cc: kpsingh, James.Bottomley, paul, bboscaccy, memxor, torvalds, bpf,

In-Reply-To: <20260610230329.727075-1-daniel@iogearbox.net>
Describe the BPF signing design end to end: why a trusted loader is
needed, the signature(insns || metadata) contract, load-time
verification via fd_array (exclusive + frozen maps), the binary
BPF_SIG_{UNSIGNED,VERIFIED} verdict, and how [BPF] LSMs can enforce
policy on it.
This writes down the contract on the discussion points with the LSM /
integrity folks [0][1]: by the time security_bpf_prog_load() is
called, signature verification has fully completed and covers the
instructions plus the frozen contents of every bound exclusive map;
there is no intermediate "loader verified, payload pending" state
to reason about; and what BPF_SIG_VERIFIED means at each hook is
spelled out explicitly, including the post-verifier coverage check
that keeps the verdict binary.

+============
+BPF signing
+============
+
+This document describes how BPF programs are cryptographically signed, how the
+kernel verifies them at load time, and how Linux Security Modules (LSMs) -
+including the BPF LSM - use the resulting verdict to enforce policy. It is
+written for developers who want to produce signed BPF objects, understand what
+the signature actually guarantees, or build a policy on top of it.
+
+Motivation
+==========
+
+A signed BPF program lets the kernel establish that the bytecode being loaded
+originates from a trusted producer and was not modified in transit. On its own
+the kernel does not *require* signatures - an unsigned program loads exactly as
+before - but it records a verdict (see `The verdict`_) that an LSM can gate on.
+This is the building block for policies such as "only run BPF that was signed by
+a key in the trusted keyring", as enforced for instance by IPE.
+
+Signing is orthogonal to the existing permission model: it does not replace the
+capability checks or the verifier. A signed load still requires the usual
+privileges (``CAP_BPF`` and any program-type-specific capability, subject to
+``kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled``), and the loader's instructions are still
+checked by the verifier like any other program. A valid signature establishes
+*origin and integrity*, not safety - it lets a policy trust where the bytecode
+came from, it does not let a load skip any check it would otherwise face.
+
+The hard part is *what* gets signed. A naive scheme would sign a program's
+instruction buffer at build time and verify that signature at
+``BPF_PROG_LOAD``. That does not survive contact with real BPF objects, because
+the bytes the kernel finally loads are not the bytes the developer built and
+signed. Between the two, libbpf and the kernel rewrite the program:
+
+- **map file descriptors** are patched into ``ld_imm64`` instructions
+ (``BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD``), and a map's fd is assigned at load time, so it
+ differs on every run;
+- **CO-RE relocations** rewrite field offsets, sizes and existence flags against
+ the *running* kernel's BTF, so the result differs from one kernel to the next;
+- **kfunc and ksym references** are resolved to ids/addresses in the running
+ kernel;
+- **global data** (``.rodata``/``.data``/``.bss``) is created and seeded as maps
+ at load.
+
+So a signature over the original instructions cannot match the relocated
+instructions the verifier ends up checking, and the relocated form cannot be
+produced ahead of time because it depends on the target kernel. There is no
+fixed byte string that is both signable at build time and what the kernel
+actually loads - which is why a program cannot simply be signed and loaded
+directly.
+
+The trusted loader
+==================
+
+The solution is to move that setup work *into* a small BPF program - the
+**loader** - and sign the loader instead of the individual programs. libbpf's
+``gen_loader`` machinery (``bpftool gen skeleton -L``, the "light skeleton")
+emits a ``BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL`` program whose body performs the bpf() syscalls
+that create maps, apply relocations, and load the real programs. The payload it
+installs - the serialized programs, map descriptions, relocation data and
+initial values - lives in a separate array map, the **metadata map**
+(``__loader.map``).
+
+So the unit of trust is the loader, and the signing contract is::
+
+ Sig(I_loader || D_meta)
+
+where ``I_loader`` is the loader's instruction stream and ``D_meta`` is the
+content of the metadata map. Verifying the loader's signature establishes that
+both the loader *and* the payload it is about to install are authentic. The
+loader is reproducible: ``gen_loader`` builds it from primitives so the same
+object yields the same bytes on any build host.
+
+Why the loader is signable when the program is not
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+The loader sidesteps every rewrite listed above, because the bytes that are
+signed are *relocation-invariant*:
+
+- The loader's own instructions are a fixed sequence of bpf() syscalls emitted
+ by ``gen_loader``; they carry no CO-RE relocations and resolve no ksyms, so
+ they are identical on every kernel. The metadata map is referenced by *index*
+ into ``fd_array`` (``BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_IDX``), not by a baked-in file descriptor,
+ so even that reference does not change between build and load. The loader
+ instruction bytes the kernel verifies are exactly the bytes that were signed.
+- The metadata map is opaque, frozen data - the serialized target programs,
+ their relocation records, map descriptions and initial values. Its bytes are
+ identical at build time and at load time, so they are simply appended to the
+ instructions and covered by the same signature (there is no separate metadata
+ hash to compute or compare).
+
+All the host-specific rewriting - creating maps, patching their fds into the
+target programs, applying CO-RE, resolving ksyms, seeding global data - still
+happens, but it happens *inside the loader at runtime*, on the verified
+metadata, **after** the kernel has verified the ``insns || metadata`` signature.
+The kernel never has to verify the relocated target programs: it verifies the
+loader and its inputs once, and trust transfers to whatever that now-trusted,
+deterministic loader installs. The relocation step is moved from "before the
+signature can be checked" to "after a trusted program runs" - which is exactly
+what makes it signable.
+
+Because the metadata map is the loader's only untrusted input, two existing map
+properties are reused to keep it trustworthy across the load:
+
+Exclusive maps
+ A map created with ``excl_prog_hash`` (see ``BPF_MAP_CREATE``) may only be
+ accessed by a program whose digest matches that hash. The verifier enforces
+ ``map->excl_prog_sha == prog->digest`` for every map a program uses, so the
+ metadata map is bound to exactly the signed loader and cannot be shared with
+ or mutated by another program.
+
+Frozen maps
+ The metadata map is frozen (``BPF_MAP_FREEZE``) before the loader is loaded.
+ Freezing blocks further userspace writes, so the bytes folded into the
+ signature cannot change before the loader runs. (Freezing does not make the
+ map read-only to the loader program itself, which still writes created file
+ descriptors back into the blob's scratch area.)
+
+Load-time verification
+=======================
+
+Rather than have the loader check its own metadata from within BPF, the kernel
+verifies it directly at ``BPF_PROG_LOAD``, with no new UAPI. The mechanism
+reuses the existing ``fd_array``:
+
+#. Userspace creates the metadata map with ``excl_prog_hash`` set to the
+ loader's digest, populates it, and freezes it.
+#. The loader is loaded with ``signature``/``signature_size``/``keyring_id``
+ set, the metadata map referenced through ``fd_array``, and ``fd_array_cnt``
+ set so the kernel knows the array's length.
+#. When a signature is present and ``fd_array_cnt`` is non-zero, every map in
+ ``fd_array`` must be exclusive (carry ``excl_prog_sha``); a non-exclusive map
+ there is rejected (``-EINVAL``). The kernel appends each map's frozen contents
+ to the instruction buffer and verifies the PKCS#7 signature over the
+ concatenation ``insns || metadata_0 || metadata_1 || ...`` in ``fd_array``
+ order.
+
+A signed program therefore takes one of exactly two shapes, both fully
+supported:
+
+- **No bound maps** (``fd_array_cnt == 0``): there is nothing to append, so the
+ kernel verifies the signature over the instructions alone. A valid signature
+ yields ``BPF_SIG_VERIFIED`` and the program loads. This is the ordinary case
+ for a directly-loaded signed program with no separate payload; it is *not*
+ rejected for "missing" metadata, because it has none to cover.
+- **Exclusive bound maps** (``fd_array_cnt > 0``): every entry is exclusive and
+ folded, so the signature covers ``insns || metadata``.
+
+There is no third shape: a non-exclusive map in a signed program's ``fd_array``
+is rejected rather than silently left out of the signature, so a program bound
+to a signed loader never has a map the signature does not cover.
+
+The digest binding (``excl_prog_sha == prog->digest``) is enforced by the
+verifier as usual; because that check runs while ``fd_array`` is resolved -
+before the verifier would otherwise compute the tag - ``prog->digest`` is
+computed up front, over the unmodified (signature-covered) instructions, for any
+load that folds metadata.
+
+After the verifier has populated ``used_maps``, the kernel additionally requires
+that every *exclusive* map the program uses is one that was folded into the
+signature, and rejects the load (``-EACCES``) otherwise. This backstops the
+``fd_array`` rule above for an exclusive map the program reaches by other means
+(for example a directly-referenced fd): such a map is code-bearing but not
+covered, so the load is rejected. Together they keep the verdict binary - a
+signed program cannot read from an exclusive (code-bearing) map its signature
+does not cover, and a different but equally digest-bound map cannot be
+substituted at the ``fd_array`` slot the loader reads. Non-exclusive maps the
+program reaches by other means are runtime data, not part of the signed
+artifact, and need not be covered.
+
+The verdict
+===========
+
+A program is either unsigned or fully verified - there is no intermediate
+state. The outcome is recorded in ``prog->aux->sig.verdict``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ enum bpf_sig_verdict {
+ BPF_SIG_UNSIGNED = 0,
+ BPF_SIG_VERIFIED,
+ };
+
+``BPF_SIG_VERIFIED`` means the signature is valid and covers the instructions
+*and* the frozen contents of every exclusive map the program uses:
+
+- For an ordinary, directly-loaded signed program the instructions are the whole
+ artifact and it uses no exclusive maps, so a valid instruction signature is
+ the complete verification.
+- For a signed loader the metadata map is exclusive, so its contents are folded
+ in and the signature covers ``insns || metadata``.
+
+There is deliberately no "instructions verified but metadata not" verdict: a
+signed loader that fails to cover its metadata is *rejected* (see above), not
+recorded with a weaker verdict. ``BPF_SIG_VERIFIED`` therefore always means the
+program and everything the signature is responsible for are authentic, which is
+what a policy can rely on.
+
+Alongside the verdict the kernel records which keyring validated the signature;
+see `Keyrings`_.
+
+Enforcement via LSMs
+====================
+
+Signing only *records* a verdict; an LSM turns it into policy. The verdict and
+keyring fields live in ``struct bpf_prog_aux``, so a BPF LSM program can read
+them directly (see Documentation/bpf/prog_lsm.rst for writing and attaching BPF
+LSM programs); the same fields are equally available to in-tree LSMs such as
+IPE. Two hooks are useful at different points of the load: the dedicated
+``security_bpf_prog_load()`` gates admission before the verifier runs, and the
+existing ``security_bpf_prog()`` observes a program that has fully loaded.
+
+Admission: ``security_bpf_prog_load()``
+---------------------------------------
+
+The existing hook, called at ``BPF_PROG_LOAD`` entry, **for every load**,
+before the verifier runs. By this point the verdict and keyring fields are set,
+so the hook can see whether - and how strongly - the program was signed, which
+keyring validated it, the load ``attr``, the BPF token and whether the load came
+from the kernel.
+
+This is the place for *coarse admission* that must also see unsigned and
+not-yet-verified loads: require a signature at all, restrict the acceptable
+keyring, restrict which token/credentials may load BPF, apply per-program-type
+rules, or audit every attempt. It is the primary deny point.
+
+One subtlety: this runs before the verifier, so although the verdict is already
+``BPF_SIG_VERIFIED`` for a valid signature, the kernel has not *yet* confirmed
+that the program only uses exclusive maps the signature covers. That check
+happens after verification, and a load that violates it is rejected (``-EACCES``)
+regardless of the LSM. So ``BPF_SIG_VERIFIED`` *here* means "validly signed"; a
+program that would read an uncovered exclusive map is still rejected before it
+ever loads, and by the time it has fully loaded (see the next hook) the verdict
+carries its full meaning.
+
+A more realistic admission policy than "is it signed at all": accept programs
+signed by a system keyring, accept a user-keyring signature only if the
+key/keyring it was verified against is on an explicit allowlist, and emit a
+tamper-evident record of every decision so that even denied attempts are
+auditable. (Illustrative - error checking elided.)

+ d->serial = serial;
+ d->ret = ret;
+ bpf_ringbuf_submit(d, 0); /* record allow *and* deny */
+ }
+ return ret;
+ }
+
+Observing a verified load: ``security_bpf_prog()``
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+There is deliberately no separate "metadata attested" hook. The coverage check
+above is enforced by the kernel unconditionally, so a signed loader that fails
+to cover its metadata never loads and an LSM never has to re-establish that
+fact. To *act on* a program that has successfully and fully loaded, use the
+existing ``security_bpf_prog()`` hook (``lsm/bpf_prog``), which fires from
+``bpf_prog_new_fd()`` - after the verifier, after the coverage check, and after
+``bpf_prog_alloc_id()``. Relative to the admission hook this point is strictly
+later and stronger:
+
+- the program has an id (``prog->aux->id``), so it can be recorded or correlated
+ with later events;
+- ``verdict == BPF_SIG_VERIFIED`` *here* means **fully** verified - a program
+ that used an uncovered exclusive map was already rejected, so it cannot reach
+ this point;
+- it observes only programs that actually loaded; a failed load never mints an
+ fd, so it never reaches this hook.
+
+It takes only the ``prog`` and a non-zero return still aborts (the fd is not
+handed out), so it can veto as well as observe. One wrinkle: it also fires on
+other paths that mint a new program fd - notably ``bpf_prog_get_fd_by_id()`` -
+not just on a fresh load. Because the program already has its id here, an LSM
+can tell the two apart with a small hash map: the *first* time an id is seen is
+the load; a later sighting of the same id is just another fd to a program that
+already exists.
+
+To bound the map and let a reused id read as a fresh load, this can be paired
+with ``security_bpf_prog_free()`` (``lsm/bpf_prog_free``), which deletes the
+entry on teardown - keyed by the same ``prog`` pointer, since
+``bpf_prog_free_id()`` has already cleared ``prog->aux->id`` to ``0`` by the time
+that hook runs. (Illustrative - privileged LSM, error checking elided.)
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct rec { __u32 id, ktype; __s32 serial; };
+
+ struct {
+ __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH);
+ __type(key, __u64); /* struct bpf_prog * -- stable id */
+ __type(value, struct rec);
+ __uint(max_entries, 4096);
+ } live SEC(".maps");
+
+ SEC("lsm/bpf_prog") /* fires after load and on every later fd */
+ int BPF_PROG(observe, struct bpf_prog *prog)
+ {
+ __u64 key = (__u64)(unsigned long)prog;
+ struct rec r;
+
+ if (prog->aux->sig.verdict != BPF_SIG_VERIFIED)
+ return 0;
+ if (bpf_map_lookup_elem(&live, &key))
+ return 0; /* seen before: a later fd, not a load */
+
+ /* First sighting == this program just loaded; id is valid here. */
+ r.id = prog->aux->id;
+ r.ktype = prog->aux->sig.keyring_type;
+ r.serial = prog->aux->sig.keyring_serial;
+ bpf_map_update_elem(&live, &key, &r, BPF_NOEXIST);
+ /* ... newly-loaded verified-program action, e.g. record r.id ... */
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+Putting them together: to *require* verified BPF, deny at the admission hook
+unless the verdict is ``BPF_SIG_VERIFIED`` (and, if desired, restrict the
+keyring). The kernel then guarantees that any program which actually loads with
+that verdict covered all of its exclusive maps, rejecting any that did not - so
+a deny-by-default admission policy needs no second enforcement point. Use
+``security_bpf_prog()`` to record or finally gate the verified programs once
+they carry an id. The ``verdict``, ``keyring_type`` and ``keyring_serial`` fields
+let a policy distinguish, for example, "verified and signed by a builtin key"
+from "verified by a user key". Policy LSMs such as IPE consume the same hooks to
+enforce system policy without writing any BPF.
+
+Keyrings
+========
+
+``keyring_id`` selects the trusted keyring the PKCS#7 signature is verified
+against. The well-known ids ``0`` (builtin), ``VERIFY_USE_SECONDARY_KEYRING``
+and ``VERIFY_USE_PLATFORM_KEYRING`` select the corresponding system keyrings;
+any other value is treated as the serial of a user/session key or keyring.
+The keyring is looked up first, before the signature bytes are examined, so a
+signature naming a non-existent keyring is rejected up front, and a failed
+verification aborts the load - so a program that loads successfully with a
+signature always has consistent keyring fields recorded.
+
+Two fields are recorded in ``prog->aux->sig`` for an LSM to inspect:
+
+``keyring_type`` (``enum bpf_sig_keyring``)
+ Classified purely from ``keyring_id`` whenever the program is signed:
+ ``BPF_SIG_KEYRING_BUILTIN``, ``_SECONDARY``, ``_PLATFORM`` for the system
+ keyrings, or ``_USER`` for a user/session keyring. It is
+ ``BPF_SIG_KEYRING_NONE`` for an unsigned program.
+
+``keyring_serial`` (``s32``)
+ Set **only** on a successful verification, to the serial of the
+ **user/session key or keyring** that ``keyring_id`` resolved to - the
+ object the signature was verified against, not the individual asymmetric
+ key inside it that matched the signer. Passing
+ ``KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING``, for example, records the session keyring's
+ serial. The system keyrings are trusted as a whole and expose no serial
+ here, so the serial is ``0`` for builtin, secondary and platform
+ signatures, and ``0`` for unsigned programs. In other words, a non-zero
+ ``keyring_serial`` is exactly "verified against the user key/keyring with
+ this serial".
+
+.. list-table::
+ :header-rows: 1
+
+ * - ``keyring_id``
+ - ``keyring_type``
+ - ``keyring_serial``
+ * - (no signature)
+ - ``BPF_SIG_KEYRING_NONE``
+ - ``0``
+ * - ``0``
+ - ``BPF_SIG_KEYRING_BUILTIN``
+ - ``0``
+ * - ``VERIFY_USE_SECONDARY_KEYRING``
+ - ``BPF_SIG_KEYRING_SECONDARY``
+ - ``0``
+ * - ``VERIFY_USE_PLATFORM_KEYRING``
+ - ``BPF_SIG_KEYRING_PLATFORM``
+ - ``0``
+ * - other (a user/session key serial)
+ - ``BPF_SIG_KEYRING_USER``
+ - serial of the resolved key/keyring
+
+Producing a signed object
+==========================
+
+``bpftool`` generates and signs a light skeleton in one step::
+
+ bpftool gen skeleton -L -S -k <private_key.pem> -i <certificate.x509> \
+ obj.bpf.o > obj.lskel.h
+
+``-L`` selects the light-skeleton (``gen_loader``) backend and ``-S`` enables
+signing; ``-k`` and ``-i`` supply the signing key and its X.509 certificate.
+``bpftool`` signs ``insns || metadata`` - the exact bytes the kernel
+reconstructs - and also computes ``excl_prog_hash`` as the digest of the loader
+instructions so the metadata map can be bound to the loader. The signature,
+certificate and hash are embedded in the generated header; loading the skeleton
+performs the create/populate/freeze/load sequence described above.
+
+At runtime the trusted public key must be present in the chosen keyring (for
+example added to the session keyring, or built into the kernel's builtin trusted
+keyring) for verification to succeed.
+
+UAPI reference
+==============
+
+``BPF_PROG_LOAD`` (``union bpf_attr``):
+
+``signature``, ``signature_size``
+ Pointer to and length of the PKCS#7 signature blob.
+
+``keyring_id``
+ Trusted keyring selector (see `Keyrings`_).
+
+``fd_array``, ``fd_array_cnt``
+ Array of map file descriptors bound to the program. ``fd_array_cnt`` must be
+ set for the kernel to scan the array. When a signature is present, every map
+ in the array must be exclusive; its frozen contents are folded into the
+ verified buffer, and a non-exclusive entry is rejected (``-EINVAL``).
+
+``BPF_MAP_CREATE`` (``union bpf_attr``):
+
+``excl_prog_hash``, ``excl_prog_hash_size``
+ SHA-256 digest of the program permitted to access this (exclusive) map. This
+ binds the metadata map to the loader; it is not a hash of the map *content*.
+ The map content is not hashed separately at all - it is covered, as bytes,
+ by the program signature.
+
+Failure modes
+=============
+
+When a signature is present but the load cannot be authenticated, the load is
+rejected; it is never silently downgraded to unsigned. The common rejections:
+
+.. list-table::
+ :header-rows: 1
+ :widths: 30 15 55
+
+ * - Condition
+ - errno
+ - Notes
+ * - Signature does not validate, or no trusted key in the selected keyring
+ matched the signer
+ - ``-EKEYREJECTED`` / ``-ENOKEY``
+ - Surfaced from the PKCS#7 verification layer: ``-EKEYREJECTED`` for an
+ invalid signature, ``-ENOKEY`` when no key in the keyring matches.
+ * - ``keyring_id`` does not resolve to a usable keyring / key
+ - ``-EINVAL``
+ - The keyring is looked up before the signature bytes are examined.
+ * - ``signature_size`` too large
+ - ``-EINVAL``
+ - A practical PKCS#7 signature is well under the cache-allocation limit.
+ * - Non-exclusive map in a signed program's ``fd_array``
+ - ``-EINVAL``
+ - Every folded map must carry ``excl_prog_sha`` (see `Load-time
+ verification`_).
+ * - ``fd_array_cnt`` exceeds the maximum number of used maps
+ - ``-E2BIG``
+ -
+ * - ``insns || metadata`` exceeds the dynptr size cap (~16 MiB)
+ - ``-E2BIG``
+ - The instructions and folded maps are verified as one ``bpf_dynptr``.
+ * - A folded (exclusive) map is not frozen
+ - ``-EPERM``
+ - Freezing is required so the hashed bytes cannot change before the loader
+ runs.
+ * - Program uses an exclusive map the signature does not cover
+ - ``-EACCES``
+ - The post-verifier binding check; keeps the verdict binary (see `The
+ verdict`_).
+
+An unsigned program (no ``signature``) is never rejected by this path; it simply
+loads with the ``BPF_SIG_UNSIGNED`` verdict, leaving any policy decision to an
+LSM.
+
+Testing
+=======
+
+The ``signed_loader`` test in ``tools/testing/selftests/bpf`` exercises the full
+path: it drives map-less and map-owning objects through ``gen_loader``, signs
+``insns || metadata``, loads with ``fd_array_cnt`` set, runs the loader, and
+confirms the target program and map are installed. ``lsm_signature_verdict``
+additionally attaches a BPF LSM program and asserts the observed verdict
+(``BPF_SIG_UNSIGNED`` and ``BPF_SIG_VERIFIED``), and that a signed loader which
+does not fold its metadata is rejected. The signed light skeletons
+``fentry_test``, ``fexit_test`` and ``atomics`` exercise the same load path
+through real generated-and-signed skeletons.
+
+Notes and limitations
+======================
+
+- The instructions plus folded metadata are verified as one ``bpf_dynptr``,
+ which bounds the combined size (currently ~16 MiB); very large objects can
+ exceed it.
+- The metadata container is a single-element array map, accessed through
+ ``map_direct_value_addr``.
+- The verdict and the LSM hooks are kernel-internal; the verdict is not part of
+ the stable UAPI.

* [PATCH bpf-next 4/5] selftests/bpf: Verify load-time signed loader metadata
From: Daniel Borkmann @ 2026-06-10 23:03 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: ast
Cc: kpsingh, James.Bottomley, paul, bboscaccy, memxor, torvalds, bpf,
linux-security-module
In-Reply-To: <20260610230329.727075-1-daniel@iogearbox.net>
The signed gen_loader no longer checks its metadata map from within
BPF; the kernel does it at BPF_PROG_LOAD by folding the loader's frozen
exclusive fd_array maps into the signature. Exercise that path end to
end. Extend with more test cases (e.g. map-less program, asserting the
LSM admission hook observes BPF_SIG_UNSIGNED and BPF_SIG_VERIFIED), and
retire the subtests that asserted the old in-loader check, which no
longer exists.

* [PATCH bpf-next 3/5] bpftool: Cover loader metadata with the program signature
From: Daniel Borkmann @ 2026-06-10 23:03 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: ast
Cc: kpsingh, James.Bottomley, paul, bboscaccy, memxor, torvalds, bpf,
linux-security-module
In-Reply-To: <20260610230329.727075-1-daniel@iogearbox.net>
bpftool_prog_sign() signed only the loader instructions. The metadata
blob the loader installs was left to an in-loader hash check, which
the kernel now performs at load time over insns || metadata.
Sign that same concatenation: pass the metadata blob (gen_loader_opts
data) through to bpftool_prog_sign() and feed insns || metadata to
CMS_final(). The excl_prog_hash stays a digest of the instructions
alone; it binds the metadata map to the loader and is matched against
prog->digest by the verifier, independent of what the signature covers.
The signed artifact is now plain data: both bytes the signature
covers are embedded verbatim in the generated skeleton, so signing
and verifying an lskel is an ordinary CMS operation that a signer or
auditor can perform (or reproduce) offline, without analyzing loader
bytecode to establish what the signature actually attests to [0].

* [PATCH bpf-next 2/5] libbpf: Drop in-loader metadata check for load-time verification
From: Daniel Borkmann @ 2026-06-10 23:03 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: ast
Cc: kpsingh, James.Bottomley, paul, bboscaccy, memxor, torvalds, bpf,
linux-security-module
In-Reply-To: <20260610230329.727075-1-daniel@iogearbox.net>
The signed gen_loader used to police its own metadata map from within
BPF: emit_signature_match() read the kernel-cached map->sha[] back
through hardcoded struct bpf_map offsets and compared it against a hash
that compute_sha_update_offsets() baked into the signed instructions,
after a BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD round-trip to populate map->sha[].
The kernel now verifies the metadata at BPF_PROG_LOAD time by folding
the frozen contents of the loader's exclusive fd_array maps into the
signature, so the loader no longer checks anything itself. Generated
loaders thus carry no verification logic of their own anymore: Nothing
in the signing chain depends on emitted loader bytecode doing the right
thing.
On the loading side, skel_internal.h now sets fd_array_cnt for a signed
load so the kernel scans fd_array for the exclusive metadata map -
still frozen, as the kernel requires - and the BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD
round-trip to populate map->sha[] is gone. The struct bpf_map layout
BUILD_BUG_ON()s on the kernel side are removed as well: they only
pinned the ABI for the in-BPF read of map->sha[] that is no longer
needed. Note: gen_hash is retained; it still marks a loader as signed
so an untrusted host cannot re-dimension maps or override initial
values now covered by the signature.

* [PATCH bpf-next 1/5] bpf: Verify signed loader metadata at load time
From: Daniel Borkmann @ 2026-06-10 23:03 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: ast
Cc: kpsingh, James.Bottomley, paul, bboscaccy, memxor, torvalds, bpf,
linux-security-module
In-Reply-To: <20260610230329.727075-1-daniel@iogearbox.net>
A signed gen_loader program carries the programs, maps and relocations it
installs in a metadata array map. The loader instructions are covered by
the PKCS#7 signature, but the metadata map is not: Today the loader
compares the map contents from within BPF against a hash baked into its
(signed) instructions, using the kernel-cached map hash. The kernel itself
never actually attests that the metadata the loader installs is the
metadata that was signed.
This split is the core of the long-standing objection to the BPF signing
scheme from the LSM / integrity side: the integrity check of a light
skeleton only completes once the loader program runs, that is, after the
security_bpf_prog_load() hook, so at admission time an LSM observes a
program whose payload has not yet been verified [0]. Auditing the chain
link is also not a purely cryptographic operation: whoever signs or reviews
an lskel has to disassemble the loader's preamble to convince themselves
that the embedded hash check is present and correct [1][2]. Two acceptable
fixes were identified in those threads: Complete the integrity check
before the admission hook fires, or add a second hook that collects the
verification result after the loader ran [3]. Let's implement the former,
without growing the UAPI.
A signed loader binds its metadata map(s) through the existing fd_array,
and an exclusive map is already bound to a program digest (excl_prog_hash).
So when a signature is present, collect the exclusive maps from fd_array
and append their frozen contents to the instructions before verification:
the signature now covers insns || metadata_0 || metadata_1 || [...] in the
fd_array order, and verification completes in bpf_prog_load() before the
LSM admission hook and before the verifier runs.
A program is either BPF_SIG_UNSIGNED or BPF_SIG_VERIFIED, with nothing in
between. While collecting the fd_array maps, a non-exclusive map bound to
a signed program is rejected, so every map folded into the signature is
exclusive. A signed loader that fails to cover its metadata thus does not
load, and BPF_SIG_VERIFIED always means the instructions and every
exclusive map are authentic.
The maps must be frozen so the hashed bytes cannot change before the
loader runs; the map <-> program digest binding is enforced by the
verifier for every used map. Binding maps through fd_array_cnt makes the
verifier resolve and excl-check them (excl_prog_sha vs prog->digest)
before it would otherwise compute the digest, so compute prog->digest
up front in bpf_prog_load(), over the unmodified instructions the
signature covers, for a load that folds metadata.
Unsigned programs are not affected. Note, signed loaders generated by
older libbpf/bpftool versions need to be regenerated; some of the recent
fixes we've had on the signed loader side require the latter already to
close gaps.

* [PATCH bpf-next 0/5] Verify BPF signed loader at load time
From: Daniel Borkmann @ 2026-06-10 23:03 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: ast
Cc: kpsingh, James.Bottomley, paul, bboscaccy, memxor, torvalds, bpf,
linux-security-module
The BPF signing scheme signs a light skeleton's loader program and lets
the loader vouch for everything else: bpftool bakes the SHA256 of the
metadata map into the loader's instructions, signs the instructions, and
the loader compares the (frozen, exclusive) map against that hash from
within BPF once it runs. The construction is sound as a trusted hash
chain, but the kernel itself never attests the metadata, and that split
has been the recurring objection from the LSM / integrity side since the
scheme was proposed.
This proposal closes both gaps by having the kernel verify the metadata
at BPF_PROG_LOAD time, before the LSM admission hook and before the
verifier, /without/ growing the UAPI. A signed loader binds its metadata
map(s) through the existing fd_array/fd_array_cnt, and exclusive maps
are already bound to the loader's digest via excl_prog_hash. When a
signature is present, the kernel collects the exclusive maps from the
fd_array and appends their frozen contents to the instructions before
PKCS#7 verification, so the signature covers ...
insns || metadata_0 || metadata_1 || [...]
... in fd_array order. The in-loader hash check is dropped from the
gen_loader entirely: generated loaders carry no verification logic
anymore, and signing or verifying a skeleton becomes an ordinary CMS
operation over bytes that sit verbatim in the skeleton, reproducible
offline. A signed program is either BPF_SIG_UNSIGNED or BPF_SIG_VERIFIED
with nothing in between.
There is no new UAPI, we now have a single signature scheme, no LSM
code reaching into BPF internals, no new LSM hook, and unsigned loads
are completely unaffected. It is also less complex since the loader
does not need to deal with BTF, an extra kfunc, etc, as proposed in
an earlier series [0]. Tested against full BPF CI which came back
green. For more details and examples, see the documentation patch in
this series.

It wouldn't hurt, yeah. I have that kind of already in my head while I
read these patches, but it would be better for other folks to see it
framed more accurately.
