linux.git/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/sysctl_helpers.c, branch master Linux kernel source tree selftests/bpf: verify kallsyms entries for token-loaded subprograms 2026-04-15T23:46:47+00:00 Eduard Zingerman eddyz87@gmail.com 2026-04-15T20:03:56+00:00 969fb456ffb43d87894a295dbe6a0a722691552a Add a test that loads an XDP program with a global subprogram using a BPF token from a user namespace, then verifies that both the main program and the subprogram appear in /proc/kallsyms. This exercises the bpf_prog_kallsyms_add() path for subprograms and would have caught the missing aux->token copy in bpf_jit_subprogs(). load_kallsyms_local() filters out kallsyms with zero addresses. For a process with limited capabilities to read kallsym addresses the following sysctl variables have to be set to zero: - /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid - /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict Set these variables using sysctl_set() utility function extracted from unpriv_bpf_disabled.c to a separate c/header. Since the test modifies global system state, mark it as serial.

Add a test that loads an XDP program with a global subprogram using a
BPF token from a user namespace, then verifies that both the main
program and the subprogram appear in /proc/kallsyms.

This exercises the bpf_prog_kallsyms_add() path for subprograms and
would have caught the missing aux->token copy in bpf_jit_subprogs().

load_kallsyms_local() filters out kallsyms with zero addresses.
For a process with limited capabilities to read kallsym addresses the
following sysctl variables have to be set to zero:
- /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
- /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
Set these variables using sysctl_set() utility function extracted from
unpriv_bpf_disabled.c to a separate c/header.
Since the test modifies global system state, mark it as serial.
