Alexis Lothoré has been working to add support for the kernel’s memory-access
checker,

KASAN, to just-in-time-compiled BPF code. He spoke about that work at
the 2026

Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit.
KASAN support is needed, he said, to help catch bugs in the BPF just-in-time (JIT)
compiler. KASAN is a great tool for catching memory-management problems in the
kernel, but only in code that can be monitored by it.
