Subject: [PATCH bpf v2 0/2] bpf: Fix tracing of kfuncs with implicit args
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 12:29:38 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710192940.3020280-1-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev> (raw)
Tejun reported an issue where a BPF program tracing a kfunc with
KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS can crash the kernel [1]. This is caused by a bug in
bpf_check_attach_target(): the btf_func_model for such a kfunc is
computed from a wrong BTF prototype. For more details see the commit
message of patch #1.
The second patch adds a selftest that can catch this situation.
The fix is a candidate for 7.1 backport.

v1->v2:
* Take a module reference in btf_attach_func_proto() around the
btf_kfunc_accumulated_flags() call (sashiko)
