JITed BPF programs are dynamically attached to the LSM hooks using BPF trampolines. The trampoline prologue generates code to handle conversion of the signature of the hook to the appropriate BPF context. The allocated trampoline programs are attached to the nop functions initialized as LSM hooks. BPF_PROG_TYPE_LSM programs must have a GPL compatible license and and need CAP_SYS_ADMIN (required for loading eBPF programs). Upon attachment: * A BPF fexit trampoline is used for LSM hooks with a void return type. * A BPF fmod_ret trampoline is used for LSM hooks which return an int. The attached programs can override the return value of the bpf LSM hook to indicate a MAC Policy decision.

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.
