5 daysbpf: Fix tracing of kfuncs with implicit argsIhor Solodrai
A kfunc marked with KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS flag takes implicit arguments (such as bpf_prog_aux) that the verifier injects at load time. resolve_btfids strips those from the kfunc's BTF-visible prototype and keeps the real kernel ABI in a counterpart _impl prototype [1]. fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/fsession programs may attach to the BPF kernel functions, including those with implicit args. However bpf_check_attach_target() and bpf_check_attach_btf_id_multi() extract the struct btf_func_model from the wrong BTF prototype of the kfunc. The btf_func_model is later read to construct the trampoline, which then causes the injected implicit argument to be clobbered and the kfunc dereferencing garbage. Add btf_attach_func_proto() to resolve the real ABI prototype of the kfunc the way the call site does: by looking up the _impl prototype for a KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS kfunc. Use it at both attach-target model construction sites. To enable this, make two supporting changes: * pass bpf_verifier_log instead of bpf_verifier_env to find_kfunc_impl_proto(), so it can be reused from the attach path * add btf_kfunc_check_flag() to test a flag across all of a kfunc's hook sets, because a program attaching to a kfunc is not in the kfunc's call-set KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS must be consistent across the sets, so btf_kfunc_check_flag() returns -EINVAL on inconsistency. btf_kfunc_check_flag() reads the kfunc's flags from the target's kfunc_set_tab. For a module BTF that table is stable only after the module is live, so take a module reference around the read, mirroring how the kfunc call path gates the same lookup with btf_try_get_module(). The remaining call sites of btf_distill_func_proto() are safe as is. The BPF_TRACE_ITER case distills a registered iterator's prototype, and bpf_struct_ops_desc_init() distills the function-pointer members of a struct_ops type. Neither is a kfunc, and so can't have implicit arguments.

7 daysbpf: Reject negative const offsets for buffer pointersSun Jian
The verifier rejects variable offsets for PTR_TO_TP_BUFFER and PTR_TO_BUF accesses, but it currently accepts a constant negative offset produced by pointer arithmetic. Commit 022ac0750883 ("bpf: use reg->var_off instead of reg->off for pointers") moved constant pointer offsets from reg->off to reg->var_off. However, __check_buffer_access() continued to check only the instruction offset. An access with reg->var_off equal to -8 and an instruction offset of zero therefore passes verification. For writable raw tracepoints, the access end is also calculated from the unsigned reg->var_off.value. An eight-byte access starting at -8 wraps the calculated end to zero, allowing the program to load and attach without increasing max_tp_access. After ensuring that reg->var_off is constant, calculate the effective access start using signed arithmetic and reject it when it is negative. Use the validated start to calculate the access end for both PTR_TO_TP_BUFFER and PTR_TO_BUF.

2026-07-01bpf: Prefer dirty packs for eBPF allocationsPawan Gupta
The pack allocator only flushes predictors when reusing a dirty pack for cBPF, eBPF allocations never trigger a flush. Currently, eBPF picks the first free pack, which could be a clean pack. As an optimization, leaving a clean pack for cBPF can avoid flushes. Prefer dirty packs for eBPF and keep clean packs free for cBPF. This mirrors the existing cBPF preference for clean packs: each program kind prefers the pack that avoids an extra flush, and falls back to the other kind only when no preferred pack has room. eBPF reuse of a dirty pack is harmless since eBPF being privileged does not flush.

2026-07-01bpf: Prefer packs that won't trigger an IBPB flush on allocationPawan Gupta
Currently BPF pack allocator picks the chunks from the first available pack. While this is okay, it naturally leads to more frequent flushes when there are multiple packs in the system that weren't used since the last flush. As an optimization prefer allocating the new programs from packs that are unused since last flush. When all packs are dirty, allocation forces a flush and marks all packs clean. Below are some future optimizations ideas: 1. Currently, the "dirty" tracking is only done at the pack-level. Flush frequency can further be reduced with chunk-level tracking. This requires a new bitmap per-pack to track the dirty state. 2. IBPB flush is done on all CPUs, even if only a single CPU ran the BPF program. On a system with hundreds of CPUs this could be a major bottleneck forcing hundreds of IPIs to deliver the flush. The solution is to track the CPUs where a BPF program ran, and issue IBPB only on those CPUs. 3. Avoid IBPB when flush is already done at other sources (e.g. context switch).

2026-07-01bpf: Skip redundant IBPB in pack allocatorPawan Gupta
bpf_prog_pack_alloc() issues IBPB on all CPUs on every cBPF allocation, even when reusing chunks from an existing pack where no new memory was touched since the last IBPB. Since IBPB on all CPUs is heavy, Dave Hansen suggested to track allocation since last IBPB, and only issue IBPB at reuse for the chunks that have not seen an IBPB since they were last freed. Track per-pack whether an IBPB is needed via arch_flush_needed. Set it when allocating a chunk, reset on IBPB flush. On reuse, conditionally issue the flush. Since IBPB invalidates all BTB entries, clear the flag on all packs after flushing.

2026-07-01bpf: Restrict JIT predictor flush to cBPFPawan Gupta
Currently predictor flush on memory reuse is done for all BPF JIT allocations, but only cBPF programs can be loaded by an unprivileged user. eBPF is privileged by default, and flushing predictors for all CPUs on every eBPF reuse penalizes the common case for no security benefit. eBPF allocations can be frequent on busy systems, only flush predictors for cBPF programs. Trampoline and dispatcher allocations also skip the flush as they are eBPF-only.

2026-07-01bpf: Support for hardening against JIT sprayingPawan Gupta
The BPF JIT allocator packs many small programs into larger executable allocations and reuses space within those allocations as programs are loaded and freed. When fresh code is written into space that a previous program occupied, an indirect jump into the new program can reuse a branch prediction left behind by the old one. Flush the indirect branch predictors before reusing JIT memory so that indirect jumps into a newly written program don't reuse predictions from an old program that occupied the same space. Introduce bpf_arch_pred_flush_enabled static key and bpf_arch_pred_flush static call for flushing the branch predictors on JIT memory reuse. Architectures that need a flush, can update it to a predictor flush function. By default, its a NOP and does not emit any CALL. Allocations larger than a pack are not covered by this flush. That is safe because cBPF programs (the unprivileged attack surface) are bounded well below a pack size. Issue a warning if this assumption is ever violated while the flush is active.

2026-06-30bpf: Reject BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE creation if BPF LSM is uninitializedMatt Bobrowski
When CONFIG_BPF_LSM=y is set, BPF inode storage maps (BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE) are compiled into the kernel. However, if the BPF LSM is not explicitly enabled at boot time (e.g. omitted from the "lsm=" boot parameter), lsm_prepare() is never executed for the BPF LSM. Consequently, the BPF inode security blob offset (bpf_lsm_blob_sizes.lbs_inode) is never initialized and remains at its default compiled size of 8 bytes instead of being updated to a valid offset past the reserved struct rcu_head (typically 16 bytes or more). When a privileged user creates and updates a BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE map, bpf_inode() evaluates inode->i_security + 8. This erroneously aliases the struct rcu_head.func callback pointer at the beginning of the inode->i_security blob. During subsequent map element cleanup or inode destruction, writing NULL to owner_storage clears the queued RCU callback pointer. When rcu_do_batch() later executes the queued callback, it attempts an instruction fetch at address 0x0, triggering an immediate kernel panic. Fix this by introducing a global bpf_lsm_initialized boolean flag marked with __ro_after_init. Set this flag to true inside bpf_lsm_init() when the LSM framework successfully registers the BPF LSM. Gate map allocation in inode_storage_map_alloc() on this flag, returning -EOPNOTSUPP if the BPF LSM is in turn uninitialized. This fail-fast approach prevents userspace from allocating inode storage maps when the supporting BPF LSM infrastructure is absent, avoiding zombie map states.

2026-06-25bpf: Reject offset refcount acquire argumentsYiyang Chen
bpf_refcount_acquire() increments the refcount at the caller-supplied pointer plus the refcount field offset, then returns the caller-supplied pointer unchanged. The verifier records the return value as a base pointer to the refcounted object. bpf_list_pop_front() and bpf_rbtree_remove() can return embedded graph-node pointers as PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC with a fixed offset equal to the node field offset. Passing such a pointer directly to bpf_refcount_acquire() currently passes the refcounted-kptr type check. That makes the runtime operation start from base + node_off while the verifier models the returned pointer as the object base. Require refcount-acquire arguments to have zero fixed offset by carrying the requirement through check_func_arg_reg_off() to __check_ptr_off_reg(). Programs can still acquire a refcount from a graph-node-derived pointer after normalizing it with container_of().

2026-06-22bpf: Reset register bounds before narrowing retval range in check_mem_access()Tristan Madani
When the BPF verifier processes a context load of an LSM hook return value, it calls __mark_reg_s32_range() to narrow the register to the hook's valid range. However, __mark_reg_s32_range() intersects the new range with the register's existing bounds using max_t()/min_t() rather than replacing them. If the destination register carries stale bounds from a prior instruction (e.g. BPF_MOV64_IMM), the intersection can produce a range narrower than reality. The verifier then believes it knows the register's exact value, while at runtime the actual hook return value is loaded, creating a verifier/runtime mismatch that can be used to bypass BPF memory safety checks. The else branch already calls mark_reg_unknown() to reset register state before any narrowing. Apply the same reset in the is_retval path so stale bounds are cleared before __mark_reg_s32_range() intersects.

2026-06-22bpf: Preserve pointer spill metadata during half-slot cleanupNuoqi Gui
__clean_func_state() cleans dead stack slots in 4-byte halves. When the high half of a STACK_SPILL slot is dead and the low half remains live, cleanup converts the live low half to STACK_MISC or STACK_ZERO and clears the saved spilled_ptr metadata. That conversion is safe only for scalar spills. For a pointer spill, this metadata clear lets a later 32-bit fill from the still-live half avoid the normal non-scalar register-fill check and be treated as an ordinary scalar stack read. Leave non-scalar spill slots intact in this half-live shape. This is conservative for pruning and preserves the existing check_stack_read_fixed_off() rejection path for partial fills from pointer spills.

2026-06-21bpf: Fix effective prog array index with BPF_F_PREORDERAmery Hung
replace_effective_prog() and purge_effective_progs() located the slot in the effective array by walking the program hlist and counting entries linearly. That count does not match the array layout: compute_effective_ progs() places BPF_F_PREORDER programs at the front (ancestor cgroup first, attach order within a cgroup) and the rest after them (descendant cgroup first). So when a preorder program is present, the linear hlist position no longer equals the program's index in the effective array. For replace_effective_prog() (bpf_link_update()) this overwrote the wrong slot, corrupting the effective order. For purge_effective_progs(), it could dummy out a slot belonging to a different program and leave the detached program in the array while bpf_prog_put() drops its reference, i.e. a use-after-free. Fix both by replaying compute_effective_progs()'s placement (including the per-cgroup preorder reversal) in a shared effective_prog_pos() helper. Identify the entry by its struct bpf_prog_list pointer rather than by (prog, link) value, so the lookup resolves to exactly the attachment the syscall selected even when the same bpf_prog is attached to several cgroups in the hierarchy.

2026-06-21bpf: Fix build_id caching in stack_map_get_build_id_offset()Ihor Solodrai
This patch is a follow up to recent implementation of stack_map_get_build_id_offset_sleepable() [1]. stack_map_get_build_id_offset() and its sleepable variant each cached only the last successfully resolved VMA, with separate bookkeeping in each function. A run of IPs in a VMA with no usable build ID will repeat the lookup for every frame: find_vma() in the non-sleepable path, a VMA lock and a blocking build_id_parse_file() in the sleepable. Factor the per-call cache into a shared struct stack_map_build_id_cache with two independent slots [2][3], used by both functions: * resolved - last VMA that produced a build ID (file, build_id and range), reused to skip the lookup and the parse; * unresolved - last VMA with no usable build ID (range only), reused to emit a raw IP without another lookup or parse. Keeping the slots independent means a build-ID-less VMA no longer evicts the last resolved build ID, so a trace alternating between a binary and a region without one stops re-resolving the binary on every return. The shared lookup tests [vm_start, vm_end), matching the sleepable path; the non-sleepable path previously reused a build ID for ip == vm_end (range_in_vma() is inclusive) and now re-resolves it correctly.

For a 4-byte write at fp-8 after the lower half of fp-8 has been zeroed, the pre-check scans bytes 0..3 and sees STACK_ZERO while the actual write updates bytes 7..4. That can leave the second half-slot write without nospec_result even though the bytes being overwritten still require sanitization.

Allow uprobe_multi link to identify the target binary by an already opened file descriptor. Adding new BPF_F_UPROBE_MULTI_PATH_FD flag and the path_fd field for the attr.link_create.uprobe_multi struct. When the flag is set, we resolve the target from path_fd, without the flag, we keep the existing string path behavior. I don't see a use case for supporting O_PATH file descriptors, because we need to read the binary first to get probes offsets, so I'm using the CLASS(fd, f), which fails for O_PATH fds.

This is correct for errno-based hooks, which return 0 on success and negative errno on failure, but wrong for boolean and void LSM hooks.

2026-06-12bpf: Run generic devmap egress prog on private skbSun Jian
Generic XDP devmap multi redirect uses skb_clone() for intermediate destinations and sends the last destination with the original skb. This can leave multiple destinations sharing the same packet data. This becomes visible after generic devmap egress-program support was added: a devmap egress program may mutate packet data, and another destination sharing the same data can observe that mutation. Native XDP broadcast redirect does not have this issue because xdpf_clone() copies the frame data for each destination. Generic XDP should provide the same per-destination isolation before running a devmap egress program. Fix this by making cloned skbs private before running the generic devmap egress program. Use skb_copy() instead of skb_unshare() so allocation failure does not consume the skb and the existing caller error paths keep their ownership semantics.

2026-06-10bpf: Tighten cgroup storage cookie checks for prog arraysDaniel Borkmann
The fix in commit abad3d0bad72 ("bpf: Fix oob access in cgroup local storage") is still incomplete. The prog-array compatibility check treats a program with no cgroup storage as compatible with any stored storage cookie. This allows a storage-less program to bridge a tail call chain between an entry program and a storage-using callee even though cgroup local storage at runtime still follows the caller's context, that is, A -> B(no storage) -> C(storage) path. Requiring exact cookie equality would break the legitimate case of a storage-less leaf program being tail called from a storage-using one. Instead, only accept a zero storage cookie if the program cannot perform tail calls itself. This keeps A -> B(no storage) working while rejecting the A -> B(no storage) -> C(storage) bridge.

2026-06-09bpf: Cancel special fields on map value recycleJustin Suess
Map update and delete paths currently call bpf_obj_free_fields() when a value is being replaced or recycled. That makes field destruction depend on the context of the update/delete operation. For tracing programs this can include NMI context, where referenced kptr destructors, uptr unpinning, and graph root destruction are not generally safe. Introduce bpf_obj_cancel_fields() for the reusable-value path. It only performs NMI-safe cleanup for timer, workqueue, and task_work fields. Fields that need full destruction are left attached to the recycled value and are destroyed by the final cleanup path instead. Switch array and hashtab update/delete/recycle paths to this cancel helper. Keep bpf_obj_free_fields() for final map destruction and for bpf_mem_alloc destructors. Preallocated hashtabs do not have allocator destructors, so teardown continues to walk the normal and extra elements and fully destroy their fields. This deliberately relaxes the eager-free semantics of map update/delete for special fields. Programs that relied on a recycled map slot becoming empty immediately after update/delete were relying on behavior that cannot be implemented safely from every BPF execution context without offloading arbitrary destructors. There is a chance this change breaks programs making assumptions regarding the eager freeing of fields. If so, we can relax semantics to cancellation only when irqs_disabled() is true in the future. However, theoretically, map values that get reused eagerly already have weaker guarantees as parallel users can recreate freed fields before the new element becomes visible again.

2026-06-09bpf: Reject bpf_obj_drop() from tracing progsJustin Suess
bpf_obj_drop() runs bpf_obj_free_fields() synchronously for program-allocated objects. When such an object contains NMI unsafe fields, tracing programs that can run from arbitrary instrumented context can reach that destruction from unsafe contexts, including NMI. NMI is likely one instance of this problem, and other instances would include possible unsafe reentrancy. Deferring bpf_obj_drop() is not appealing either: it would add delayed-free machinery to a release operation that otherwise has straightforward synchronous ownership semantics. Reject bpf_obj_drop() and bpf_percpu_obj_drop() from tracing programs that may run from unsafe contexts unless every field in the object's BTF record is explicitly NMI safe. Do not reject sleepable BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING programs, since they are not the arbitrary/NMI contexts that motivate the restriction. Note that while bpf_rb_root and bpf_list_head would be NMI safe on their own to free, the objects recursively held by them may not be; be conservative and just mark them as not NMI safe for now. Use a whitelist for the NMI-safe field set instead of listing only known NMI unsafe fields. Locks, async fields, unreferenced kptrs, and refcounts are known to be NMI safe because their destruction is either a no-op, simple state reset, or async cancellation. Referenced kptrs, percpu referenced kptrs, uptrs, graph roots, graph nodes, and any future field type are rejected until audited for arbitrary tracing and NMI contexts. This is less susceptible to future changes in fields that were previously safe by exclusion, and to new fields being added without updating this check. Convert the existing recursive local-object drop success case to a syscall program in the same commit, since this verifier change makes the old tracing program form invalid. The test still exercises bpf_obj_drop() releasing a referenced task kptr from a safe program type.

2026-06-09bpf: Allow sleepable programs to use LPM trie maps directlyVlad Poenaru
The previous change relaxed the rcu_dereference annotations in lpm_trie.c so the trie walks no longer trip lockdep when reached from a sleepable BPF program holding only rcu_read_lock_trace(). By itself that only helps tries reached as the inner map of a map-of-maps, or from the classic-RCU syscall path: a sleepable program that references an LPM trie directly is still rejected at load time by check_map_prog_compatibility(), whose sleepable whitelist omits BPF_MAP_TYPE_LPM_TRIE: Sleepable programs can only use array, hash, ringbuf and local storage maps LPM trie nodes are allocated from a bpf_mem_alloc (trie->ma) and freed with bpf_mem_cache_free_rcu(), which chains a regular RCU grace period into a Tasks Trace grace period before the node -- and the value embedded in it that trie_lookup_elem() returns to the program -- is released. That is the same reclaim discipline BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH relies on for sleepable access, so a value handed to a sleepable reader cannot be freed while the program is still running under rcu_read_lock_trace().

2026-06-09bpf: Allow LPM map access from sleepable BPF programsVlad Poenaru
trie_lookup_elem() annotates its rcu_dereference_check() walks with only rcu_read_lock_bh_held(). Because rcu_dereference_check(p, c) resolves to "c || rcu_read_lock_held()", this passes for XDP/NAPI and classic RCU readers but fails for sleepable BPF programs, which enter via __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable() and hold only rcu_read_lock_trace(). trie_update_elem() and trie_delete_elem() have the same problem in a different form: they walk the trie with plain rcu_dereference(), which asserts rcu_read_lock_held() unconditionally. Both are reachable from sleepable BPF programs via the bpf_map_update_elem / bpf_map_delete_elem helpers, and from the syscall path under classic rcu_read_lock(). In the writer paths the trie is actually protected by trie->lock (an rqspinlock taken across the walk); we never relied on the RCU read-side lock to keep nodes alive there. A sleepable LSM hook that ends up touching an LPM trie therefore triggers lockdep on debug kernels: ============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 7.1.0-... Tainted: G E ----------------------------- kernel/bpf/lpm_trie.c:249 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! 1 lock held by net_tests/540: #0: (rcu_tasks_trace_srcu_struct){....}-{0:0}, at: __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable+0x26/0x280 Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl lockdep_rcu_suspicious trie_lookup_elem bpf_prog_..._enforce_security_socket_connect bpf_trampoline_... security_socket_connect __sys_connect do_syscall_64 This is lockdep-only -- no UAF, since Tasks Trace RCU does serialize against the trie's reclaim path -- but it spams the console once per distinct callsite on every debug kernel running a sleepable BPF LSM that touches an LPM trie, which is increasingly common. For the lookup path, switch the rcu_dereference_check() annotation from rcu_read_lock_bh_held() to bpf_rcu_lock_held(), which accepts all three contexts (classic, BH, Tasks Trace). Other map types already follow this convention. For trie_update_elem() and trie_delete_elem(), annotate the walks as rcu_dereference_protected(*p, 1) -- matching trie_free() in the same file -- since trie->lock is held across the walk. rqspinlock has no lockdep_map, so the predicate degenerates to '1' rather than lockdep_is_held(&trie->lock); the protection is real but not machine-verifiable. trie_get_next_key() also uses bare rcu_dereference() but is reachable only from the BPF syscall, which holds classic rcu_read_lock() before dispatching, so it is left untouched.

2026-06-09bpf: Enforce write checks for BTF pointer helper accessNuoqi Gui
check_mem_reg() verifies both read and write access for global subprogram memory arguments. When the caller register is PTR_TO_BTF_ID, check_helper_mem_access() currently forwards the access to check_ptr_to_btf_access() as BPF_READ regardless of the requested access type. This lets a BTF-backed kernel object field pointer pass the caller-side writable memory check for a global subprogram argument. The callee is then validated with a generic writable PTR_TO_MEM argument and can store through it, even though an equivalent direct BTF field store is rejected with "only read is supported". Forward the requested access type to check_ptr_to_btf_access(). This enforces existing BTF write restrictions for global subprogram memory arguments as well.

btf_parse_struct_metas() walks user-supplied BTF during BPF_BTF_LOAD, and btf_repeat_fields() expands repeatable fields from array elements into the fixed BTF_FIELDS_MAX scratch array used by btf_parse_fields(). The remaining-capacity check performs the expanded field count calculation in u32. A malformed BTF can wrap that calculation, causing the check to pass even when the expanded field count exceeds the scratch array capacity. The following memcpy() can then write past the end of the array. Use checked addition and multiplication before copying repeated fields and reject impossible counts.

An ARRAY_OF_MAPS can use an array created with BPF_F_INNER_MAP as its inner map template. A concrete inner array with a different max_entries value can then replace the template. After a successful outer map lookup, the verifier represents the resulting map pointer using the inner map template. Const-key lookup nullness elision consequently uses the template max_entries even though the runtime helper uses the concrete inner map max_entries. Do not elide lookup result nullness for maps marked with BPF_F_INNER_MAP, because the template max_entries does not prove that the key is in bounds for the concrete runtime map.

2026-06-07bpf: Fix NMI/tracepoint re-entry deadlock on lru locksMykyta Yatsenko
NMI and tracepoint BPF programs can re-enter the per-CPU or global LRU lock that bpf_lru_pop_free()/push_free() already hold on the same CPU, AA-deadlocking. Lockdep reports "inconsistent {INITIAL USE} -> {IN-NMI}" on &l->lock (syzbot c69a0a2c816716f1e0d5) and "possible recursive locking detected" on &loc_l->lock (syzbot 18b26edb69b2e19f3b33). Prior trylock and rqspinlock based fixes (see links) were nacked because compromised on reliability. This patch converts every LRU lock site to rqspinlock_t and adds a recovery path for some failure windows to avoid node leaks. Failure recovery: - *_pop_free top-level: return NULL; prealloc_lru_pop() already treats that as no-free-element (-ENOMEM). - Cross-CPU steal: skip the victim's locked loc_l, try next CPU. - Post-steal local lock fail: publish stolen node to lockless per-CPU free_llist; next pop on this CPU picks it up. - push_free fail: mark node pending_free=1. __local_list_flush(), __local_list_pop_pending() reclaim the node from pending_list. __bpf_lru_list_shrink_inactive() reclaims the node from inactive list. Nodes from active list are reclaimed by __bpf_lru_list_shrink() or after __bpf_lru_list_rotate_active() demotes it to the inactive.

2026-06-07bpf: Add bpf_trampoline_multi_attach/detach functionsJiri Olsa
Adding bpf_trampoline_multi_attach/detach functions that allows to attach/detach tracing program to multiple functions/trampolines. The attachment is defined with bpf_program and array of BTF ids of functions to attach the bpf program to. Adding bpf_tracing_multi_link object that holds all the attached trampolines and is initialized in attach and used in detach. The attachment allocates or uses currently existing trampoline for each function to attach and links it with the bpf program. The attach works as follows: - we get all the needed trampolines - lock them and add the bpf program to each (__bpf_trampoline_link_prog) - the trampoline_multi_ops passed in __bpf_trampoline_link_prog gathers ftrace_hash (ip -> trampoline) objects - we call update_ftrace_direct_add/mod to update needed locations - we unlock all the trampolines The detach works as follows: - we lock all the needed trampolines - remove the program from each (__bpf_trampoline_unlink_prog) - the trampoline_multi_ops passed in __bpf_trampoline_unlink_prog gathers ftrace_hash (ip -> trampoline) objects - we call update_ftrace_direct_del/mod to update needed locations - we unlock and put all the trampolines We store the old image/flags in the trampoline before the update and use it in case we need to rollback the attachment. We keep the ftrace_hash objects allocated during attach in the link so they can be used for detach as well. Adding trampoline_(un)lock_all functions to (un)lock all trampolines to gate the tracing_multi attachment. Note this is supported only for archs (x86_64) with ftrace direct and have single ops support.

In following changes we want to attach program to multiple trampolines but we want to keep just one bpf_link object. Splitting struct bpf_tramp_link into: struct bpf_tramp_link { struct bpf_link link; struct bpf_tramp_node node; }; struct bpf_tramp_node { struct bpf_link *link; struct hlist_node tramp_hlist; u64 cookie; }; The 'struct bpf_tramp_link' defines standard single trampoline link and 'struct bpf_tramp_node' is the attachment trampoline object with pointer to the bpf_link object. This will allow us to define link for multiple trampolines, like: struct bpf_tracing_multi_link { struct bpf_link link; ... int nodes_cnt; struct bpf_tracing_multi_node nodes[] __counted_by(nodes_cnt); }; Cc: Hengqi Chen <hengqi.chen@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260606123955.345967-9-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
