When scalar += pointer is handled in adjust_ptr_min_max_vals(), the
destination register inherits the pointer state from the source pointer.
Copying only selected fields is fragile because pointer provenance is
tracked by several bpf_reg_state fields.
Use the caller's temporary offset register to preserve the scalar operand
while replacing the destination with the full pointer state. This preserves
the frame number for PTR_TO_STACK registers and keeps parent identity
fields consistent.

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.

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 022ac07508 ("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.

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().

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.

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.

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().
The writer paths take trie->lock across the walk and never relied on the
RCU read-side lock to keep nodes alive.

This lets a BTF-backed kernel object field pointer pass the caller-side

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

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.

Constant pointer arithmetic on a PTR_TO_FLOW_KEYS register lands the
constant in reg->var_off (e.g. flow_keys(imm=4096)), but the
PTR_TO_FLOW_KEYS path in check_mem_access() passes only insn->off to
check_flow_keys_access() and never folds reg->var_off.value. The
verifier therefore accepts an access that, at runtime, dereferences past
struct bpf_flow_keys -- a verifier/runtime divergence that yields an
out-of-bounds read and write of kernel stack memory.
Commit 022ac07508 ("bpf: use reg->var_off instead of reg->off for
pointers") removed the generic "off += reg->off" that check_mem_access()
applied before the per-type dispatch and replaced it with per-path
folding of reg->var_off.value (for example the ctx path now folds the
register offset via check_ctx_access()). The PTR_TO_FLOW_KEYS path was
not given the equivalent fold, so a constant offset that used to be
folded and rejected is now silently accepted:
before 022ac07508: the offset stays in reg->off and is folded
generically, so the access is checked with off=4096 and rejected.
after 022ac07508: the offset lands in reg->var_off, the flow_keys
path checks off=0 and accepts; at runtime the access dereferences
base + 0x1000.
For a BPF_PROG_TYPE_FLOW_DISSECTOR program the following is accepted:
r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 144) ; R2=flow_keys (PTR_TO_FLOW_KEYS)
r2 += 0x1000 ; R2=flow_keys(imm=4096), accepted
r0 = *(u64 *)(r2 + 0) ; accepted, var_off.value=0x1000 ignored
while the equivalent insn->off form
r0 = *(u64 *)(r2 + 0x1000)
has the same effective offset but is correctly rejected with
"invalid access to flow keys off=4096 size=8", which isolates the defect
to the missing var_off fold. Once attached as a flow dissector, the
accepted program reads kernel stack past struct bpf_flow_keys (a
kernel-stack / KASLR information leak) and can likewise write past it,
corrupting kernel memory.
Fix it by folding reg->var_off.value into the offset before the bounds
check and rejecting non-constant offsets, mirroring the other pointer
types (e.g. check_ctx_access()).

The bpf_set_retval() helper is used by cgroup BPF programs to set the
return value of the target hook. The argument type for this helper is
ARG_ANYTHING. This allows setting a positive value, which no cgroup
hook expects and can cause issues, such as:
- BPF_LSM_CGROUP: a positive value from bpf_lsm_socket_create bypasses
the err < 0 check in __sock_create(), leaving the socket object
unallocated. The positive return value is then propagated to the
syscall entry __sys_socket(), which also bypasses the IS_ERR() guard
and ultimately causes a NULL pointer dereference.
- BPF_CGROUP_DEVICE: a positive value can be returned through cgroup
device bpf prog -> devcgroup_check_permission() -> bdev_permission()
-> bdev_file_open_by_dev(), where ERR_PTR(positive) produces a pointer
that IS_ERR() does not catch, leading to a wild pointer dereference.
- BPF_CGROUP_SOCK: a positive value can be returned through cgroup sock
bpf prog -> __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_sk() -> inet_create() ->
__sock_create(), where inet_create() frees the newly allocated sk
via sk_common_release() and sets sock->sk = NULL on the non-zero
return, but __sock_create() only checks err < 0 for cleanup, so a
positive retval bypasses cleanup and returns a socket with NULL sk
to userspace, triggering a NULL pointer dereference on subsequent
socket operations.
- BPF_CGROUP_SYSCTL: a positive value can be returned through the cgroup
bpf prog -> __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_sysctl() -> proc_sys_call_handler(),
where a non-zero return bypasses the normal sysctl proc_handler and is
returned directly to userspace as return value of read() or write()
syscall.
So add validation for the argument of the bpf_set_retval() helper.
For BPF_LSM_CGROUP, enforce the LSM hook specific range returned by
bpf_lsm_get_retval_range().
For all other cgroup program types, restrict the argument to
[-MAX_ERRNO, 0], which matches the kernel convention of 0 for success
and negative errno for error.
BPF_CGROUP_GETSOCKOPT is an exception, since valid getsockopt
implementations may return positive values, as allowed by commit
c4dcfdd406 ("bpf: Move getsockopt retval to struct bpf_cg_run_ctx").
Also refine the return value range of bpf_get_retval() so that
values returned by bpf_get_retval() can be passed directly to
bpf_set_retval() without extra manual bounds checking.

it is also safe to return arena pointers between subprogs in the same
BPF program: Arena pointers are guaranteed to be safe for both programs
at any point. Expand the verifier to permit returning an arena pointer

The main subprog is still not allowed to return an arena pointer because
arena pointers are internal to the BPF program, and the return values
permitted for each main subprog depend on the program type anyway.

existed in a different frame (e.g., passed to a subprog), it would
not be counted, causing the verifier to incorrectly reject the

Introduce release_reg() to consolidate the release logic shared by both
helpers and kfuncs: dynptr release, kptr_xchg percpu-to-RCU conversion,
regular reference release, and NULL pass-through. NULL pass-through is
only allowed if the prototype indicates the argument may be null.
Determine release_regno from the function prototype/metadata before
argument checking, rather than discovering it dynamically during
argument processing. For helpers, scan the arg_type array in
check_func_proto() via check_proto_release_reg(). For kfuncs, set
release_regno to BPF_REG_1 in bpf_fetch_kfunc_arg_meta() when
KF_RELEASE is set. In the future when we start adding decl_tag to
kfunc arguments, we can just look at the function prototype instead
of a release_regno.
Extract ref_convert_alloc_rcu_protected() and
invalidate_rcu_protected_refs() to make it more clear what the code is
doing. For ref_convert_alloc_rcu_protected(), it pre-converts
MEM_ALLOC | MEM_PERCPU registers to MEM_RCU (clearing id so they
survive), then calls release_reference() to invalidate the remaining
registers and release the reference state.
Add KF_RELEASE to bpf_dynptr_file_discard() so its release_regno is set
via fetch_kfunc_meta rather than being assigned manually in the dynptr
argument processing. Set arg_type to ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR for
KF_ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR so that check_func_arg_reg_off() correctly allows
non-zero stack offsets for dynptr release arguments same as helper.

Refactor object relationship tracking in the verifier and fix a dynptr
use-after-free bug where file/skb dynptrs are not invalidated when the
parent referenced object is freed.
Add parent_id to bpf_reg_state to precisely track child-parent
relationships. A child object's parent_id points to the parent object's
id. This replaces the PTR_TO_MEM-specific dynptr_id.
Remove ref_obj_id from bpf_reg_state by folding its role into the
existing id field. Previously, id tracked pointer identity for null
checking while ref_obj_id tracked the owning reference for lifetime
management. These are now unified: acquire helpers and kfuncs set id
to the acquired reference id, and release paths use id directly.
Add reg_is_referenced() which checks if a register is referenced by
looking up its id in the reference array. This replaces all former
ref_obj_id checks.
For release_reference(), invalidating an object now also invalidates
all descendants by traversing the object tree. This is done using
stack-based DFS to avoid recursive call chains of release_reference() ->
unmark_stack_slots_dynptr() -> release_reference(). Referenced objects
encountered during tree traversal are reported as leaked references.
Add parent_id to bpf_reference_state to enable hierarchical reference
tracking. When acquiring a reference, a parent_id can be specified to
link the new reference to an existing one (e.g., referenced dynptrs
acquire a reference with parent_id linking to the parent object's
reference).
Pointer casting:
For pointer casting helpers (bpf_sk_fullsock, bpf_tcp_sock), instead of
propagating ref_obj_id, the cast result reuses the same reference id as
the source pointer. Since the cast may return NULL for a non-NULL input,
the NULL case is explored as a separate verifier branch. This allows
releasing any of the original or cast pointers to invalidate all others.
Referenced dynptrs:
When constructing a referenced dynptr, acquire a intermediate reference
with parent_id linking to the parent referenced object. The dynptr and
all clones share the same parent_id (pointing to the intermediate ref)
but get unique ids for independent slice tracking. Releasing a
referenced dynptr releases the parent reference, which in turn
invalidates all clones and their derived slices.
Owning to non-owning reference conversion:
After converting owning to non-owning by clearing id (e.g.,
object(id=1) -> object(id=0)), the verifier releases the reference
state via release_reference_nomark().
Note that the error message "reference has not been acquired before" in
the helper and kfunc release paths is removed. This message was already
unreachable. The verifier only calls release_reference() after
confirming the reference is valid, so the condition could never trigger
in practice.

Global subprogram argument checking derives generic pointer sizes from BTF
and passes the resolved size to check_mem_reg() as a u32. The access-size
validation path then uses a signed int, and stack pointers negate the value
before calling check_helper_mem_access().
This creates a wrap when BTF describes a pointee size larger than S32_MAX.
For example, a global subprogram argument of type:
int (*p)[0x3fffffff]
has a BTF-resolved pointee size of 0xfffffffc bytes. At a call site the
caller can pass a pointer to a 4-byte stack slot at fp-4. The current
PTR_TO_STACK path computes:
size = -(int)mem_size
so 0xfffffffc becomes -4 as a signed int and the negation validates only
a 4-byte stack range. That range is covered by the caller's stack slot,
so the call is accepted.
The callee is then verified independently with R1 as PTR_TO_MEM and
mem_size 0xfffffffc. A small instruction such as:
r0 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 4)
is accepted as being inside that BTF-described memory region. At run time,
however, the actual argument value is still fp-4, so r1 + 4 addresses fp+0,
outside the 4-byte object that the caller provided.
Reject sizes that cannot be represented by the verifier's signed
access-size API before the stack-specific negation. Add a verifier
regression test for the oversized BTF argument.

Add three kfuncs for BPF linked list queries:

- bpf_list_is_last(head, node): true if node is the last in the list.
- bpf_list_empty(head): true if the list has no entries.
Currently, without these kfuncs, to implement the above functionality
it is necessary to first call bpf_list_pop_front/back to retrieve the
first or last node before checking whether the passed-in node was the
first or last one. After the check, the node had to be pushed back into
the list using bpf_list_push_front/back, which was very inefficient.
Now, with the bpf_list_is_first/last/empty kfuncs, we can directly
check whether a node is the first, last, or whether the list is empty,

btf_prepare_func_args() sets sub->arg_cnt before validating arg types.

check_outgoing_stack_args() is skipped because btf_check_func_arg_match()

This causes the callee to read stack arg slots that the caller never

To fix the issue, when btf_prepare_func_args() fails and the subprog expects

We've hit the 512 bytes limit on stack depth a few times in Cilium
recently. As a result, we started reporting in CI our current maximum
stack depth across all configurations for each BPF program.
Unfortunately, that is not trivial to compute in userspace. The
verifier reports the stack depths of individual subprogs at the end of
the logs. However the maximum combined stack depth also depends on the
callgraph of those subprogs (the max combined stack depth is the height
of the callgraph weighted by per-subprog stack depths). We can compute
a callgraph in userspace from the loaded instructions, but it often
doesn't match the verifier's own callgraph because of dead code
elimination. Our current approach relies on dumping the BPF_LOG_LEVEL2
logs, but this feels overkill considering the verifier already has the
information we need.
The patch lets the verifier dump the maximum combined stack depth in
the logs, on the same line as the per-subprog stack depths:
stack depth 16+256 max 272
The per-subprog stack depths and the new max stack depth are not
directly comparable. The former is sometimes updated during fixups,
while the latter is not. As a result, even with a single subprog, we
may end up with two slightly different values. The aim of the new max
value is to be closest to what is actually enforced by the verifier.

Extend the stack argument mechanism to kfunc calls, allowing kfuncs
with more than 5 parameters to receive additional arguments via the
r11-based stack arg area.
For kfuncs, the caller is a BPF program and the callee is a kernel
function. The BPF program writes outgoing args at negative r11
offsets, following the same convention as BPF-to-BPF calls:
Outgoing: r11 - 8 (arg6), ..., r11 - N*8 (last arg)
The following is an example:
int foo(int a1, int a2, int a3, int a4, int a5, int a6, int a7) {
...
kfunc1(a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8);
...
kfunc2(a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9);
...
}
Caller (foo), generated by llvm
===============================
Incoming (positive offsets):
r11+8: [incoming arg 6]
r11+16: [incoming arg 7]
Outgoing for kfunc1 (negative offsets):
r11-8: [outgoing arg 6]
r11-16: [outgoing arg 7]
r11-24: [outgoing arg 8]
Outgoing for kfunc2 (negative offsets):
r11-8: [outgoing arg 6]
r11-16: [outgoing arg 7]
r11-24: [outgoing arg 8]
r11-32: [outgoing arg 9]
Later JIT will marshal outgoing arguments to the native calling
convention for kfunc1() and kfunc2().
For kfunc calls where stack args are used as constant or size
parameters, a mark_stack_arg_precision() helper is used to propagate
precision and do proper backtracking.
There are two places where meta->release_regno needs to keep
regno for later releasing the reference. Also, 'cur_aux(env)->arg_prog = regno'
is also keeping regno for later fixup. Since stack arguments don't have a valid
register number (regno is negative), these three cases are rejected for now
if the argument is on the stack.
