From 0ebeea8ca8a4d1d453ad299aef0507dab04f6e8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Fri, 15 May 2020 12:11:16 +0200 Subject: bpf: Restrict bpf_probe_read{, str}() only to archs where they work Given the legacy bpf_probe_read{,str}() BPF helpers are broken on archs with overlapping address ranges, we should really take the next step to disable them from BPF use there. To generally fix the situation, we've recently added new helper variants bpf_probe_read_{user,kernel}() and bpf_probe_read_{user,kernel}_str(). For details on them, see 6ae08ae3dea2 ("bpf: Add probe_read_{user, kernel} and probe_read_{user,kernel}_str helpers"). Given bpf_probe_read{,str}() have been around for ~5 years by now, there are plenty of users at least on x86 still relying on them today, so we cannot remove them entirely w/o breaking the BPF tracing ecosystem. However, their use should be restricted to archs with non-overlapping address ranges where they are working in their current form. Therefore, move this behind a CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NON_OVERLAPPING_ADDRESS_SPACE and have x86, arm64, arm select it (other archs supporting it can follow-up on it as well). For the remaining archs, they can workaround easily by relying on the feature probe from bpftool which spills out defines that can be used out of BPF C code to implement the drop-in replacement for old/new kernels via: bpftool feature probe macro Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov Reviewed-by: Masami Hiramatsu Acked-by: Linus Torvalds Cc: Brendan Gregg Cc: Christoph Hellwig Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200515101118.6508-2-daniel@iogearbox.net --- arch/x86/Kconfig | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'arch/x86/Kconfig') diff --git a/arch/x86/Kconfig b/arch/x86/Kconfig index 1197b5596d5a..2d3f963fd6f1 100644 --- a/arch/x86/Kconfig +++ b/arch/x86/Kconfig @@ -68,6 +68,7 @@ config X86 select ARCH_HAS_KCOV if X86_64 select ARCH_HAS_MEM_ENCRYPT select ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE + select ARCH_HAS_NON_OVERLAPPING_ADDRESS_SPACE select ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API if X86_64 select ARCH_HAS_PTE_DEVMAP if X86_64 select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL -- cgit
