[ Upstream commit786be2b059] Since there're 4 bytes padding at the end of struct bpf_prog_info, they won't be checked by bpf_check_uarg_tail_zero(). pahole -C bpf_prog_info ./vmlinux struct bpf_prog_info { ... __u32 attach_btf_obj_id; /* 220 4 */ __u32 attach_btf_id; /* 224 4 */ /* size: 232, cachelines: 4, members: 38 */ /* sum members: 224 */ /* sum bitfield members: 1 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 31 bits */ /* padding: 4 */ /* forced alignments: 9 */ /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); If a future kernel extension adds a new 4-byte field, older userspace programs allocating this structure on the stack might inadvertently pass uninitialized stack garbage into the new field, permanently breaking backward compatibility. -- sashiko [1] Fix it by changing sizeof(info) to offsetofend(struct bpf_prog_info, attach_btf_id). And, add "__u32 :32" to the tail of struct bpf_prog_info.

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 Restructured Text 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.
