Linux kernel source tree
082f1db02c
Certain bpf syscall subcommands are available for usage from both userspace and the kernel. LSM modules or eBPF gatekeeper programs may need to take a different course of action depending on whether or not a BPF syscall originated from the kernel or userspace. Additionally, some of the bpf_attr struct fields contain pointers to arbitrary memory. Currently the functionality to determine whether or not a pointer refers to kernel memory or userspace memory is exposed to the bpf verifier, but that information is missing from various LSM hooks. Here we augment the LSM hooks to provide this data, by simply passing a boolean flag indicating whether or not the call originated in the kernel, in any hook that contains a bpf_attr struct that corresponds to a subcommand that may be called from the kernel.

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 reStructuredText 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.
