The verifier does not have any problem, it's just that the helpers are not exposed to LSM programs via bpf_lsm_func_proto. So all we need is: diff --git a/kernel/bpf/bpf_lsm.c b/kernel/bpf/bpf_lsm.c index 61f8cc52fd5b..93383df2140b 100644 --- a/kernel/bpf/bpf_lsm.c +++ b/kernel/bpf/bpf_lsm.c @@ -63,6 +63,10 @@ bpf_lsm_func_proto(enum bpf_func_id func_id, const struct bpf_prog *prog) return &bpf_task_storage_get_proto; case BPF_FUNC_task_storage_delete: return &bpf_task_storage_delete_proto; + case BPF_FUNC_spin_lock: + return &bpf_spin_lock_proto; + case BPF_FUNC_spin_unlock: + return &bpf_spin_unlock_proto; default: return tracing_prog_func_proto(func_id, prog); }
