With CONFIG_BPF_JIT, the kernel makes indirect calls to dynamically generated code, which the compile-time Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) checking cannot validate. This change adds basic sanity checking to ensure we are jumping to a valid location, which narrows down the attack surface on the stored pointer. In addition, this change adds a weak arch_bpf_jit_check_func function, which architectures that implement BPF JIT can override to perform additional validation, such as verifying that the pointer points to the correct memory region.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
