Blaise Boscaccy says: ==================== While trying to implement an eBPF gatekeeper program, we ran into an issue whereas the LSM hooks are missing some relevant data. Certain subcommands passed to the bpf() syscall can be invoked from either the kernel or userspace. Additionally, some fields in the bpf_attr struct contain pointers, and depending on where the subcommand was invoked, they could point to either user or kernel memory. One example of this is the bpf_prog_load subcommand and its fd_array. This data is made available and used by the verifier but not made available to the LSM subsystem. This patchset simply exposes that information to applicable LSM hooks. Change list: - v6 -> v7 - use gettid/pid in lieu of getpid/tgid in test condition - v5 -> v6 - fix regression caused by is_kernel renaming - simplify test logic - v4 -> v5 - merge v4 selftest breakout patch back into a single patch - change "is_kernel" to "kernel" - add selftest using new kernel flag - v3 -> v4 - split out selftest changes into a separate patch - v2 -> v3 - reorder params so that the new boolean flag is the last param - fixup function signatures in bpf selftests - v1 -> v2 - Pass a boolean flag in lieu of bpfptr_t Revisions: - v6 https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250308013314.719150-1-bboscaccy@linux.microsoft.com/ - v5 https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250307213651.3065714-1-bboscaccy@linux.microsoft.com/ - v4 https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250304203123.3935371-1-bboscaccy@linux.microsoft.com/ - v3 https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250303222416.3909228-1-bboscaccy@linux.microsoft.com/ - v2 https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250228165322.3121535-1-bboscaccy@linux.microsoft.com/ - v1 https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250226003055.1654837-1-bboscaccy@linux.microsoft.com/ ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250310221737.821889-1-bboscaccy@linux.microsoft.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
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 reStructuredText 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.
