[PATCH bpf-next v5 08/10] selftests/bpf: add helpers for KASAN in JIT testing

From: Alexis Lothoré (eBPF Foundation)

Date: Thu Jul 09 2026 - 06:22:21 EST


Add two simple helpers to allow checking whether KASAN for eBPF tests
should be executed:
- one helper to check if BPF_JIT_KASAN is enabled in kernel
configuration
- one helper to check if the kernel is running with kasan_multi_shot
(otherwise only the first test will be able to trigger a report)

Signed-off-by: Alexis Lothoré (eBPF Foundation) <alexis.lothore@xxxxxxxxxxx>
---
Changes in v5:
- add kasan_multi_shot helper

Changes in v2:
- fix condition
