Just turn it off in syzbot. jit_always_on is a security feature because of speculative execution bugs that can exploit any in-kernel interpreter (not only bpf interpreter). > For those tools, they may need > to run hundred times for each generated BPF prog to find interesting bugs in > the verifier, JIT makes it much faster. Unlikely. With all the overhead of saving a bunch of regs, restoring them and calling functions instead of direct load/store such JITed code is probably running at the same speed as interpreter. Also syzbot generated progs are tiny. Your oob reproducer is tiny too. The speed of execution doesn't matter in such cases. > Also, bugs in JIT can be > missed if they're > disabled. Disagree. Replacing direct load/store with calls doesn't improve JIT test coverage. Also think long term. Beyond kasan there are various *sans that instrument code differently. load/store may not be the only insns that should be instrumented. So hacking JITs either directly or via verifier isn't going to scale.
