Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v5 03/10] bpf: add BPF_JIT_KASAN for KASAN instrumentation of JITed programs
Date: Thu, 09 Jul 2026 12:01:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709-kasan-v5-3-1c64af8e4e1e@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709-kasan-v5-0-1c64af8e4e1e@bootlin.com>
Add a new Kconfig option CONFIG_BPF_JIT_KASAN that automatically enables
generic KASAN (Kernel Address SANitizer) memory access checks for
JIT-compiled BPF programs as well, when both KASAN (and more
specifically, generic KASAN with KASAN_VMALLOC) and JIT compiler are
enabled. This new Kconfig is not a user selectable one: it is either
automatically enabled if KASAN is enabled on a compatible platform. When
enabled, the JIT compiler will emit shadow memory checks before memory
loads and stores to detect use-after-free or out-of-bounds accesses at
runtime. The option is gated behind HAVE_EBPF_JIT_KASAN, as it needs
proper arch-specific implementation.

Changes in v4:
- reorganize dependencies (Andrey)
- drop VMAP_STACK dependency
Changes in v2:
- add dependency on kasan for vmalloc and vmalloc'ed stack
