From 6fad274f06f038c29660aa53fbad14241c9fd976 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2024 17:28:05 +0200 Subject: bpf: Add MEM_WRITE attribute Add a MEM_WRITE attribute for BPF helper functions which can be used in bpf_func_proto to annotate an argument type in order to let the verifier know that the helper writes into the memory passed as an argument. In the past MEM_UNINIT has been (ab)used for this function, but the latter merely tells the verifier that the passed memory can be uninitialized. There have been bugs with overloading the latter but aside from that there are also cases where the passed memory is read + written which currently cannot be expressed, see also 4b3786a6c539 ("bpf: Zero former ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} args in case of error").
