Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 1/2] bpf: Fix sleepable check for tracing/lsm prog
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 23:08:09 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805150810.34907-2-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805150810.34907-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev>
When CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is disabled, a sleepable tracing prog
is allowed to attach to '__x64_'-alike prefix symbols.
It is because the verifier does not verify whether the symbol is a kernel
function or a bpf prog. That said, a sleepable tracing prog is allowed to
attach to a bpf prog target whose name has '__x64_'-alike prefix.
For example, a sleepable fentry prog attaches to a '__x64_sys_nop' XDP
prog, and copies buffer from a user pointer with bpf_copy_from_user()
helper. After attaching the XDP prog to lo interface, the kernel BUG
could be triggered by 'ping -c 1 -W 1 127.0.0.1':
[ 3.460756] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/bpf/trampoline.c:1324
Similar issue could be applied to lsm prog, when the
prog->aux->attach_btf_id is in the LSM allowing list but the attach_btf is
a malicious bpf prog's btf.
Fix it by disallowing sleepable tracing/lsm prog always when its target
btf is not kernel's btf.
Fixes: 16d9c5660692 ("bpf: Always allow sleepable programs on syscalls")
Fixes: 1e6c62a88215 ("bpf: Introduce sleepable BPF programs")
