2026-10-19libbpf: Bind the arena of an object to every program in itKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
A program has an arena only when one of its insns refers to the arena map. The kernel can hand a program arena pointers all the same: as __arena struct_ops arguments, through __arena struct members and as kfunc return values. The verifier rejects those in a program without an arena, since it has nowhere to place them, and so a struct_ops callback that touches nothing but its arguments fails to load until it refers to the arena artificially, e.g. with asm volatile("" :: "r"(&arena)). Bind the arena of an object to every program loaded from it. The kernel binds the maps of a continuous fd_array (fd_array_cnt) like maps an insn refers to, so pass the arena in slot 0, which is free: a kfunc insn with offset 0 names vmlinux BTF rather than a slot. The module BTF slots that follow stay as they are. A feature probe keeps older kernels, which reject a non-zero fd_array_cnt, on the previous behavior. An object has at most one arena, libbpf refuses a second one, so there is no ambiguity about which arena a program gets. Programs that never touch the arena see it among their maps, and pay for the arena base setup in their JIT prologue until a later patch spares them that; the arena now lives as long as any program of the object. With the count, the kernel also resolves every module BTF slot of the array for every program of the object, so each of them holds the modules the object calls into, not only the programs that call them. Where the JIT is disabled or the loader lacks CAP_PERFMON, every program of such an object now fails to load, since an arena needs both, where before only the programs using the arena did. bpf_program__clone() binds the arena the same way, so a program loads through veristat as it does through bpf_object__load(). An arena exclusive to another program and the light skeleton loader are left alone. An arena exclusive to the program itself is bound only where the kernel checks an exclusive map against the digest of the final program. Earlier kernels compared a map bound through the fd_array against a digest they had not computed yet and refused the load for the very program the map is exclusive to, so a second probe loads a program with a map exclusive to it through fd_array_cnt; where that fails, the program keeps binding its arena through its insns, as before.

2026-10-11btf: Preserve string relocation maps for split BTFAlan Maguire
Make btf_relocate() optionally return the string-offset map it builds while relocating a BTF relative to a distilled base. A subsequent split BTF object can use that map to rebase references to base strings. Also account for the accumulated base string offset when assigning a new BTF base. This is required when the base is itself split.

2026-09-24libbpf: Add support for BTF kinds LOC[_PARAM|_PROTO|SEC]Alan Maguire
Add support for new kinds to libbpf. BTF_KIND_LOC_PARAM and BTF_KIND_LOC_PROTO are dedup-able so add support for their deduplication, whereas since BTF_KIND_LOCSEC contains a unique offset it is not. LOC_PARAM is considered a primary type since it contains no external references; LOC_PROTO is a reference type consisting of LOC_PARAM references so they are handled in the primary and reference dedup phases respectively. For BTF field iteration, BTF_KIND_LOCSEC needs 2 m_offs[] values for the associated KIND_FUNC and KIND_LOC_PROTO type ids in each LOCSEC entry. Add APIs to add location param, location prototypes and location sections and btf_is_* tests, data accessors for each. For BTF distillation we add location info to split BTF.

2026-07-08libbpf: Drop in-loader metadata check for load-time verificationDaniel Borkmann
The signed gen_loader used to police its own metadata map from within BPF: emit_signature_match() read the kernel-cached map->sha[] back through hardcoded struct bpf_map offsets and compared it against a hash that compute_sha_update_offsets() baked into the signed instructions, after a BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD round-trip to populate map->sha[]. The kernel now verifies the metadata at BPF_PROG_LOAD time by folding the frozen contents of the loader's exclusive fd_array maps into the signature, so the loader no longer checks anything itself. Generated loaders thus carry no verification logic of their own anymore: Nothing in the signing chain depends on emitted loader bytecode doing the right thing. On the loading side, skel_internal.h now sets fd_array_cnt for a signed load so the kernel scans fd_array for the exclusive metadata map - still frozen, as the kernel requires - and the BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD round-trip to populate map->sha[] is gone. The struct bpf_map layout BUILD_BUG_ON()s on the kernel side are removed as well: they only pinned the ABI for the in-BPF read of map->sha[] that is no longer needed. Same for the map->excl member. Note: gen_hash is retained; it still marks a loader as signed so an untrusted host cannot re-dimension maps or override initial values now covered by the signature.

2024-06-17libbpf: Split BTF relocationAlan Maguire
Map distilled base BTF type ids referenced in split BTF and their references to the base BTF passed in, and if the mapping succeeds, reparent the split BTF to the base BTF. Relocation is done by first verifying that distilled base BTF only consists of named INT, FLOAT, ENUM, FWD, STRUCT and UNION kinds; then we sort these to speed lookups. Once sorted, the base BTF is iterated, and for each relevant kind we check for an equivalent in distilled base BTF. When found, the mapping from distilled -> base BTF id and string offset is recorded. In establishing mappings, we need to ensure we check STRUCT/UNION size when the STRUCT/UNION is embedded in a split BTF STRUCT/UNION, and when duplicate names exist for the same STRUCT/UNION. Otherwise size is ignored in matching STRUCT/UNIONs. Once all mappings are established, we can update type ids and string offsets in split BTF and reparent it to the new base.

2024-06-05libbpf: Add BTF field iteratorAndrii Nakryiko
Implement iterator-based type ID and string offset BTF field iterator. This is used extensively in BTF-handling code and BPF linker code for various sanity checks, rewriting IDs/offsets, etc. Currently this is implemented as visitor pattern calling custom callbacks, which makes the logic (especially in simple cases) unnecessarily obscure and harder to follow. Having equivalent functionality using iterator pattern makes for simpler to understand and maintain code. As we add more code for BTF processing logic in libbpf, it's best to switch to iterator pattern before adding more callback-based code. The idea for iterator-based implementation is to record offsets of necessary fields within fixed btf_type parts (which should be iterated just once), and, for kinds that have multiple members (based on vlen field), record where in each member necessary fields are located. Generic iteration code then just keeps track of last offset that was returned and handles N members correctly. Return type is just u32 pointer, where NULL is returned when all relevant fields were already iterated.

2024-01-24libbpf: Wire up BPF token support at BPF object levelAndrii Nakryiko
Add BPF token support to BPF object-level functionality. BPF token is supported by BPF object logic either as an explicitly provided BPF token from outside (through BPF FS path), or implicitly (unless prevented through bpf_object_open_opts). Implicit mode is assumed to be the most common one for user namespaced unprivileged workloads. The assumption is that privileged container manager sets up default BPF FS mount point at /sys/fs/bpf with BPF token delegation options (delegate_{cmds,maps,progs,attachs} mount options). BPF object during loading will attempt to create BPF token from /sys/fs/bpf location, and pass it for all relevant operations (currently, map creation, BTF load, and program load). In this implicit mode, if BPF token creation fails due to whatever reason (BPF FS is not mounted, or kernel doesn't support BPF token, etc), this is not considered an error. BPF object loading sequence will proceed with no BPF token. In explicit BPF token mode, user provides explicitly custom BPF FS mount point path. In such case, BPF object will attempt to create BPF token from provided BPF FS location. If BPF token creation fails, that is considered a critical error and BPF object load fails with an error. Libbpf provides a way to disable implicit BPF token creation, if it causes any troubles (BPF token is designed to be completely optional and shouldn't cause any problems even if provided, but in the world of BPF LSM, custom security logic can be installed that might change outcome depending on the presence of BPF token). To disable libbpf's default BPF token creation behavior user should provide either invalid BPF token FD (negative), or empty bpf_token_path option. BPF token presence can influence libbpf's feature probing, so if BPF object has associated BPF token, feature probing is instructed to use BPF object-specific feature detection cache and token FD.

2024-01-24libbpf: Wire up token_fd into feature probing logicAndrii Nakryiko
Adjust feature probing callbacks to take into account optional token_fd. In unprivileged contexts, some feature detectors would fail to detect kernel support just because BPF program, BPF map, or BTF object can't be loaded due to privileged nature of those operations. So when BPF object is loaded with BPF token, this token should be used for feature probing. This patch is setting support for this scenario, but we don't yet pass non-zero token FD. This will be added in the next patch. We also switched BPF cookie detector from using kprobe program to tracepoint one, as tracepoint is somewhat less dangerous BPF program type and has higher likelihood of being allowed through BPF token in the future. This change has no effect on detection behavior.

2024-01-23libbpf: call dup2() syscall directlyAndrii Nakryiko
We've ran into issues with using dup2() API in production setting, where libbpf is linked into large production environment and ends up calling unintended custom implementations of dup2(). These custom implementations don't provide atomic FD replacement guarantees of dup2() syscall, leading to subtle and hard to debug issues. To prevent this in the future and guarantee that no libc implementation will do their own custom non-atomic dup2() implementation, call dup2() syscall directly with syscall(SYS_dup2). Note that some architectures don't seem to provide dup2 and have dup3 instead. Try to detect and pick best syscall.

2024-01-03libbpf: use stable map placeholder FDsAndrii Nakryiko
Move map creation to later during BPF object loading by pre-creating stable placeholder FDs (utilizing memfd_create()). Use dup2() syscall to then atomically make those placeholder FDs point to real kernel BPF map objects. This change allows to delay BPF map creation to after all the BPF program relocations. That, in turn, allows to delay BTF finalization and loading into kernel to after all the relocations as well. We'll take advantage of the latter in subsequent patches to allow libbpf to adjust BTF in a way that helps with BPF global function usage. Clean up a few places where we close map->fd, which now shouldn't happen, because map->fd should be a valid FD regardless of whether map was created or not. Surprisingly and nicely it simplifies a bunch of error handling code. If this change doesn't backfire, I'm tempted to pre-create such stable FDs for other entities (progs, maybe even BTF). We previously did some manipulations to make gen_loader work with fake map FDs, with stable map FDs this hack is not necessary for maps (we still have it for BTF, but I left it as is for now).
