Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 2/3] bpf: Check tail zero of bpf_prog_info
Date: Thu,  4 Jun 2026 23:05:04 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604150505.99129-3-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260604150505.99129-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev>

Since there're 4 bytes padding at the end of struct bpf_prog_info, they
won't be checked by bpf_check_uarg_tail_zero().

pahole -C bpf_prog_info ./vmlinux
struct bpf_prog_info {
	...
	__u32                      attach_btf_obj_id;    /*   220     4 */
	__u32                      attach_btf_id;        /*   224     4 */

	/* size: 232, cachelines: 4, members: 38 */
	/* sum members: 224 */
	/* sum bitfield members: 1 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 31 bits */
	/* padding: 4 */
	/* forced alignments: 9 */
	/* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));

If a future kernel extension adds a new 4-byte field, older userspace
programs allocating this structure on the stack might inadvertently pass
uninitialized stack garbage into the new field, permanently breaking
backward compatibility. -- sashiko [1]

Fix it by changing sizeof(info) to
offsetofend(struct bpf_prog_info, attach_btf_id).
