[PATCH 4.17 099/101] bpf: enforce correct alignment for instructions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9262478220eac908ae6e168c3df2c453c87e2da3 upstream.

After commit 9facc336876f ("bpf: reject any prog that failed read-only lock")
offsetof(struct bpf_binary_header, image) became 3 instead of 4,
breaking powerpc BPF badly, since instructions need to be word aligned.

Fixes: 9facc336876f ("bpf: reject any prog that failed read-only lock")
