In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Annotate bpf_long_memcpy with data_race

syzbot reported a data race splat between two processes trying to
update the same BPF map value via syscall on different CPUs:

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.
