[PATCH 02/12] bpf: Update the bpf_prog_calc_tag to use SHA256

KP Singh kpsingh at kernel.org
Fri Jun 6 23:29:04 UTC 2025


Exclusive maps restrict map access to specific programs using a hash.
The current hash used for this is SHA1, which is prone to collisions.
This patch uses SHA256, which  is more resilient against
collisions. This new hash is stored in bpf_prog and used by the verifier
to determine if a program can access a given exclusive map.

The original 64-bit tags are kept, as they are used by users as a short,
possibly colliding program identifier for non-security purposes.
