Commit Message

Blaise Boscaccy March 3, 2025, 10:24 p.m. UTC
Certain bpf syscall subcommands are available for usage from both
userspace and the kernel. LSM modules or eBPF gatekeeper programs may
need to take a different course of action depending on whether or not
a BPF syscall originated from the kernel or userspace.

Additionally, some of the bpf_attr struct fields contain pointers to
arbitrary memory. Currently the functionality to determine whether or
not a pointer refers to kernel memory or userspace memory is exposed
to the bpf verifier, but that information is missing from various LSM
hooks.

Here we augment the LSM hooks to provide this data, by simply passing
a boolean flag indicating whether or not the call originated in the
kernel, in any hook that contains a bpf_attr struct that corresponds
to a subcommand that may be called from the kernel.

For future patches, please use git-format-patch with --subject-prefix option and
specify target tree (bpf vs. bpf-next vs. bpf-next) and patchset version. For
this version of the patchset the subject prefix should be "PATCH v3 bpf-next".

Please put kernel changes and selftest changes in two
patches. Other than this:
