syzbot reported a data race splat between two processes trying to update the same BPF map value via syscall on different CPUs: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in bpf_percpu_array_update / bpf_percpu_array_update write to 0xffffe8fffe7425d8 of 8 bytes by task 8257 on cpu 1: bpf_long_memcpy include/linux/bpf.h:428 [inline] bpf_obj_memcpy include/linux/bpf.h:441 [inline] copy_map_value_long include/linux/bpf.h:464 [inline] bpf_percpu_array_update+0x3bb/0x500 kernel/bpf/arraymap.c:380 bpf_map_update_value+0x190/0x370 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:175 generic_map_update_batch+0x3ae/0x4f0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:1749 bpf_map_do_batch+0x2df/0x3d0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:4648 __sys_bpf+0x28a/0x780 __do_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5241 [inline] __se_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5239 [inline] __x64_sys_bpf+0x43/0x50 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5239 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x41/0xc0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd write to 0xffffe8fffe7425d8 of 8 bytes by task 8268 on cpu 0: bpf_long_memcpy include/linux/bpf.h:428 [inline] bpf_obj_memcpy include/linux/bpf.h:441 [inline] copy_map_value_long include/linux/bpf.h:464 [inline] bpf_percpu_array_update+0x3bb/0x500 kernel/bpf/arraymap.c:380 bpf_map_update_value+0x190/0x370 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:175 generic_map_update_batch+0x3ae/0x4f0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:1749 bpf_map_do_batch+0x2df/0x3d0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:4648 __sys_bpf+0x28a/0x780 __do_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5241 [inline] __se_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5239 [inline] __x64_sys_bpf+0x43/0x50 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5239 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x41/0xc0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd value changed: 0x0000000000000000 -> 0xfffffff000002788 The bpf_long_memcpy is used with 8-byte aligned pointers, power-of-8 size and forced to use long read/writes to try to atomically copy long counters. It is best-effort only and no barriers are here since it _will_ race with concurrent updates from BPF programs. The bpf_long_memcpy() is called from bpf(2) syscall. Marco suggested that the best way to make this known to KCSAN would be to use data_race() annotation.

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.
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.
