Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 2/4] selftests/bpf: Run the patch list tests with bpf_jit_harden off
Date: Mon, 02 Nov 2026 07:32:12 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102-bpf-patch-list-followups-v1-2-ddc8ccf40f43@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102-bpf-patch-list-followups-v1-0-ddc8ccf40f43@gmail.com>
The patch list tests compare the xlated insns of their progs, and
patch_list/line_and_func_info and patch_list/poke_descriptor look at
the line info and the poke descriptors of a prog. They run serially,
because other tests change net.core.bpf_jit_harden.
They don't set the sysctl themselves, though. When it is 2 at the
start, constant blinding rewrites the progs: 8 of the
verifier_patch_list tests and patch_list/line_and_func_info fail, and
patch_list/poke_descriptor passes with no poke descriptor to check:
XLATED:
...
5: r12 = -360925233
6: r12 ^= -360925238
7: if r1 > r12 goto pc+3
...
#719/1 verifier_patch_list/patch list: forward jumps to and over patched insns:FAIL
...
test_line_and_func_info:FAIL:fn_1001 unexpected fn_1001: got FALSE
Set the sysctl to 0 while verifier_patch_list and the first two
subtests of patch_list run, and restore it afterwards, the way
patch_list/classic_filter does.
Fixes: 67d4d0b73c29 ("selftests/bpf: Test jumps around patched instructions")
Fixes: d86e6695cb2f ("selftests/bpf: Test the tables that follow patched and removed instructions")
Reported-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/DMKHZS5B5CNO.186F6YH1T6YU4@gmail.com/
