On PPC64 with KUAP enabled, any kernel code which wants to access userspace needs to be surrounded by disable-enable KUAP. But that is not happening for BPF_PROBE_MEM load instruction. So, when BPF program tries to access invalid userspace address, page-fault handler considers it as bad KUAP fault: Kernel attempted to read user page (d0000000) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0) Considering the fact that PTR_TO_BTF_ID (which uses BPF_PROBE_MEM mode) could either be a valid kernel pointer or NULL but should never be a pointer to userspace address, execute BPF_PROBE_MEM load only if addr is kernel address, otherwise set dst_reg=0 and move on. This will catch NULL, valid or invalid userspace pointers. Only bad kernel pointer will be handled by BPF exception table.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
