Major changes:
- Redesign the verifier error reporting: failures now carry source and
instruction annotations along with the causal event history that led
to them, making program rejections far easier to debug and repair
(Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi)
- Add arena argument support to kfuncs and struct_ops through the new
__arena and __arena__nullable suffixes (Tejun Heo, Puranjay Mohan,
Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Ihor Solodrai)
- Signed BPF program loader rework to accommodate both BPF and security
community needs where the kernel runs the signature verification at
BPF_PROG_LOAD time before the LSM admission hook (Daniel Borkmann)
- Add a set of ksock kfuncs which let BPF LSM and syscall programs
create, connect and send on UDP sockets in order to emit telemetry
data (Mahe Tardy)
- Unify helper and kfunc call argument verification and classify kfunc
arguments purely from BTF into a generated bpf_func_proto which is
computed once at add-call time (Amery Hung)
Other features and fixes:
- Enable EXECMEM_ROX_CACHE for BPF allocations on x86 (Mike Rapoport)
- Add bidirectional VLAN support to bpf_fib_lookup() through the new
BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN and BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN_INPUT flags
(Avinash Duduskar)
- Infer zext_dst from static register liveness analysis to fix 32-bit
zero-extension semantics, and remove the artificial limitations on
pointer types eligible for spilling (Eduard Zingerman)
- Inline the numeric open-coded iterator kfuncs so that bpf_for() loops
no longer pay a kfunc call on every iteration (Puranjay Mohan)
- Add an arena-based bitmap data structure to libarena along with
serial and parallel selftests (Emil Tsalapatis)
- Teach resolve_btfids to discover kfuncs from the kernel's BTF ID sets
and to emit kfunc BTF decl tags, reducing the kernel build's
dependency on pahole features (Ihor Solodrai)
- Add BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_DECAP_* flags to bpf_skb_adjust_room() so that
tunnel decapsulation can update the GSO and encapsulation state of
the skb (Nick Hudson)
- Fix the ring buffer pending_pos walk and the available-data
accounting on 32-bit position wrap (Israel Téllez García)
- Add memory usage accounting for arena maps and fix an mmap_lock
deadlock on arena lock failure (Jiayuan Chen)
- Add tracing_multi link info support to the kernel UAPI and bpftool,
and refactor the stack map code to run with preemption disabled
(Jiri Olsa)
- Support BPF_F_EGRESS in bpf_redirect_peer() to emit the skb in the
egress direction of the target's peer device (Jordan Rife)
- Add a KF_SPINLOCK_SAFE kfunc flag so that providers, in particular
modules, can declare kfuncs safe to call under bpf_spin_lock instead
of relying on the verifier's hard-coded allowlist (Kaitao Cheng)
- Introduce global percpu data for BPF programs with libbpf probing
and bpftool skeleton support, and stop exposing uninitialized kernel
heap memory when copying per-CPU map values (Leon Hwang)
- Add s390 JIT support for load-acquire and store-release instructions
(Maxim Khmelevskii)
- Fix a CFI mismatch in the task work callback and an arm64 KASAN
false positive after bpf_throw() (Mykyta Yatsenko)
- Reject writes through untrusted BTF pointers and bound the
rdonly/rdwr_buf_size kfunc arguments (Nicholas Dudar)
- Invalidate RCU pointers only after the final spin unlock and account
for preempt and IRQ disabled regions as overlapping RCU protection
(Ning Ding)
- Support mixing bpf2bpf calls and tail calls on RV64, add signed
operations and 32-bit atomics to the RV32 JIT, and add timed may_goto
support (Pu Lehui, Kuan-Wei Chiu, Feng Jiang)
- Fix a use-after-free on mm_struct in bpf_find_vma() for foreign tasks
and an mmap_lock leak in the irq_work path (Sanghyun Park)
- Populate mmap-able BPF array map memory lazily which makes mmap() O(1)
instead of proportional to the map size (Song Liu)
- Introduce a jit_required flag and reject programs with inlined
helpers when no JIT is available, where the interpreter would
otherwise jump into an invalid address (Tiezhu Yang)
- Fix the x86 JIT per-CPU address resolution into an extended register
where the REX prefix dropped the high destination register bit
(Vineet Gupta)
- Reject MEM_ALLOC BTF accesses past object bounds, arena frees below
the arena base, and mixed arena and ordinary atomic paths
(Yiyang Chen)
- Fix the trampoline handling of 128-bit arguments and of return values
larger than 8 bytes (Yonghong Song)
- Ensure that any fault prone load is rewritten with exception table
handling, and fix the arena load-acquire and atomic fetch handling
in the x86, arm64, riscv and s390 JITs (Daniel Borkmann)
- Many more fixes and cleanups across the verifier, arena, trampolines,
sockmap, cgroup, ring buffer, x86/arm64/riscv/s390 JITs, libbpf,
bpftool, resolve_btfids and selftests.

selftests/bpf: Add tests for a store on a fault prone qdisc pointer
Cover the store which used to be left as a plain BPF_STX without an
exception table entry:
1: R1=trusted_ptr_Qdisc()
; struct Qdisc *next = sch->next_sched;
1: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r1 +216) ; R1=ptr_Qdisc()
; next->limit = 1000;
3: (63) *(u32 *)(r1 +20) = r2 ; R1=ptr_Qdisc() R2=1000
Assert that it is rejected now.
