[PATCH bpf v4 0/3] bpf: Fix use-after-free of progs detached from busy trampolines
Posted by Florent Revest (Anthropic) an hour ago
A task running in a trampoline image can call a prog that was detached
and freed in the meantime, when it slept in a sleepable prog before
reaching the detached one or was preempted right before calling it.
Patch 1 handles the preempted case with an RCU tasks grace period,
patch 2 handles the sleeping case by patching detached progs out of the
images that still call them and patch 3 adds a selftest for the sleeping
case.

v3 patched all the nops of an image when it was put. bpf-ci pointed out
that this lets a task skip fmod_ret and LSM progs that are still
attached, for as long as it sleeps in an earlier prog, and Alexei asked
to go back to what v2 did: only the nop of the prog that is detached is
patched, in every image that isn't freed yet. Patch 2 explains why that
takes a list of images and not just the current one. ip_after_call is
gone in both versions, and the call to the original function is never
skipped.

sashiko noted that on riscv and loongarch a task can be preempted in
the middle of a multi-instruction patch site. ip_after_call has this too
and it isn't addressed here, pending input from the JIT maintainers on
whether a single instruction site is fine for these in-image jumps.

Tested on x86_64 under KVM and on arm64, s390x, powerpc64le, riscv64
and loongarch64 under qemu TCG, all with KASAN: the new selftest crashes
the unpatched kernel and passes with the series on every one of them,
along with trampoline_count, fentry/fexit, fentry_fexit, modify_return
and lsm_cgroup (and the full test_progs on x86_64). On x86_64, 18
fsession progs with cookies on an 11 argument function still fit in the
image. Same on bpf-next, where patch 2 has a trivial conflict in x86's
arch_bpf_trampoline_size().

Changes since v3
(https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260924170543.1017048-1-florent.revest@linux.dev/):
- Only patch the nop of the prog that is detached, in all the images
  that aren't freed yet, like v2 did, and explain why a list of images
  is needed (Alexei, bpf-ci)
- Lower BPF_MAX_TRAMP_LINKS to 36 on x86, the worst case no longer fit
  in a page with the nops (bpf-ci, Alexei)
- selftest: wait for the detached progs to really be freed before
  releasing the task, the grace period of patch 1 made the previous wait
  too short (bpf-ci). Detach two progs one after the other, so that the
  second detach has to reach an image that isn't the current one anymore
- Keep a single comment block in bpf_tramp_image_put() (bpf-ci)

Changes since v2
(https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260912095924.866254-1-florent.revest@linux.dev/):
- Patch all the nops in bpf_tramp_image_put() instead of the detached
  prog's nop at detach time, drop the image list, the trampoline
  backpointer and ip_after_call (Alexei)
- Wait for an RCU tasks grace period before freeing progs that were
  linked to a trampoline, for tasks preempted right before the enter
  helper (Junseo, sashiko)
- Initialize the jit ctx in loongarch's arch_bpf_trampoline_size() and
  the dummy image in every arch_bpf_trampoline_size() (bpf-ci)
- selftest: move the userfaultfd helper to testing_helpers.c and share
  it with bpf_mod_race, comment fixes (bpf-ci), add a subtest where the
  original function runs between the sleeping prog and the detached one

Changes since v1
(https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260819122252.1782790-1-florent.revest@linux.dev/):
- Patch nops in front of detached progs instead of taking prog
  references from the image (Alexei)
- Lower BPF_MAX_TRAMP_LINKS on arm64, loongarch and powerpc so the
  image still fits in a page
- Explain that the sleepable case doesn't depend on CONFIG_PREEMPTION
  (Kumar, Alexei)
- Add a selftest (Jiri, Alexei)
- Add Sechang's Reported-by (Junseo, Kumar)
- Drop Leon's and Kumar's acks since the code changed entirely

    progs
