# UNDF: UNDF-2026-000000149
# CWE-407: Algorithmic Complexity — O(F×M) → O(F) in kernel/bpf/btf.c bpf_find_btf_id()
#
# Defect: bpf_find_btf_id() calls idr_for_each_entry() over btf_idr — O(M) where M is
# the number of loaded kernel modules — for every kptr field encountered during BPF map
# creation.  A struct with F kptr fields costs O(F × M) per map-create syscall.  The
# kernel source comment explicitly acknowledges: "linear search could be slow".
# In a loaded Kubernetes node (200+ modules): each map-create with 10 kptr fields = 2000
# BTF iterations.
#
# Fix: maintain a secondary hash table btf_name_ht mapping (FNV-1a(name) ^ kind) to btf_id.
# Built lazily on first miss; entries evicted on module unload (btf_free_id hook).
# Lookup drops from O(M) to O(1) amortised on cache hit.  Slow idr path retained on miss.
#
# Complexity gate (conceptual — kernel module load/unload controls M):
#   F=10 kptr fields, M=200 modules:
#     slow: 10 × 200 = 2000 idr iterations per map-create
#     fast: 10 × O(1) = 10 cache lookups → 200× speedup on warm cache
#   Conservative 20× lower bound at M=20 modules.
#   Gate: on warm cache, ratio slow/fast must be ≥20× at M=200, F=10.
