As is, the following program leads to in-kernel page fault when printing verifier log: --- 8< ---------------------------- struct elem { struct bpf_timer t; }; struct { __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY); __uint(max_entries, 2); __type(key, int); __type(value, struct elem); } array SEC(".maps"); int bpf_timer_set_sleepable_cb (struct bpf_timer *timer, int (callback_fn)(void *map, int *key, struct bpf_timer *timer)) __ksym __weak; static int cb_sleepable(void *map, int *key, struct bpf_timer *timer) { return 0; } SEC("fentry/bpf_fentry_test5") int BPF_PROG2(test_sleepable, int, a) { struct bpf_timer *arr_timer; int array_key = 1; arr_timer = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&array, &array_key); if (!arr_timer) return 0; bpf_timer_init(arr_timer, &array, CLOCK_MONOTONIC); bpf_timer_set_sleepable_cb((void *)&arr_timer, // note incorrrect pointer type! cb_sleepable); bpf_timer_start(arr_timer, 0, 0); return 0; } ---------------------------- >8 --- I get the page fault when doing: $ ./veristat -l7 -vvv -f test_sleepable timer.bpf.o [ 21.014886] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000060 ...

The code in check_kfunc_args() allows anything in R1, including registers for which type is not pointer to map and reg->map_ptr is NULL. When later the check_kfunc_call() is done it does push_callback_call(): 12152 err = push_callback_call(env, insn, insn_idx, meta.subprogno, 12153 set_timer_callback_state); Which calls set_timer_callback_state(), that sets bogus state for R{1,2,3}: 9683 static int set_timer_callback_state(...) 9684 { 9685 struct bpf_map *map_ptr = caller->regs[BPF_REG_1].map_ptr; 9687 9688 /* bpf_timer_set_callback(struct bpf_timer *timer, void *callback_fn); 9689 * callback_fn(struct bpf_map *map, void *key, void *value); 9690 */ 9691 callee->regs[BPF_REG_1].type = CONST_PTR_TO_MAP; 9692 __mark_reg_known_zero(&callee->regs[BPF_REG_1]); 9693 callee->regs[BPF_REG_1].map_ptr = map_ptr; ^^^^^^^^^ This is NULL!
