UPSTREAM: bpf, netns: Fix build without CONFIG_INET
When CONFIG_NET is set but CONFIG_INET isn't, build fails with:

  ld: kernel/bpf/net_namespace.o: in function `netns_bpf_attach_type_unneed':
  kernel/bpf/net_namespace.c:32: undefined reference to `bpf_sk_lookup_enabled'
  ld: kernel/bpf/net_namespace.o: in function `netns_bpf_attach_type_need':
  kernel/bpf/net_namespace.c:43: undefined reference to `bpf_sk_lookup_enabled'

This is because without CONFIG_INET bpf_sk_lookup_enabled symbol is not
available. Wrap references to bpf_sk_lookup_enabled with preprocessor
conditionals.

UPSTREAM: inet: Run SK_LOOKUP BPF program on socket lookup
Run a BPF program before looking up a listening socket on the receive path.
Program selects a listening socket to yield as result of socket lookup by
calling bpf_sk_assign() helper and returning SK_PASS code. Program can
revert its decision by assigning a NULL socket with bpf_sk_assign().

Alternatively, BPF program can also fail the lookup by returning with
SK_DROP, or let the lookup continue as usual with SK_PASS on return, when
no socket has been selected with bpf_sk_assign().

This lets the user match packets with listening sockets freely at the last
possible point on the receive path, where we know that packets are destined
for local delivery after undergoing policing, filtering, and routing.

With BPF code selecting the socket, directing packets destined to an IP
range or to a port range to a single socket becomes possible.

In case multiple programs are attached, they are run in series in the order
in which they were attached. The end result is determined from return codes
of all the programs according to following rules:

 1. If any program returned SK_PASS and selected a valid socket, the socket
    is used as result of socket lookup.
 2. If more than one program returned SK_PASS and selected a socket,
    last selection takes effect.
 3. If any program returned SK_DROP, and no program returned SK_PASS and
    selected a socket, socket lookup fails with -ECONNREFUSED.
 4. If all programs returned SK_PASS and none of them selected a socket,
    socket lookup continues to htable-based lookup.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Check correct cred for CAP_SYSLOG in bpf_dump_raw_ok()
When evaluating access control over kallsyms visibility, credentials at
open() time need to be used, not the "current" creds (though in BPF's
case, this has likely always been the same). Plumb access to associated
file->f_cred down through bpf_dump_raw_ok() and its callers now that
kallsysm_show_value() has been refactored to take struct cred.

BACKPORT: bpf: Inherit expanded/patched seen count from old aux data
[ Upstream commit d203b0fd863a2261e5d00b97f3d060c4c2a6db71 ]

Instead of relying on current env->pass_cnt, use the seen count from the
old aux data in adjust_insn_aux_data(), and expand it to the new range of
patched instructions. This change is valid given we always expand 1:n
with n>=1, so what applies to the old/original instruction needs to apply
for the replacement as well.

Not relying on env->pass_cnt is a prerequisite for a later change where we
want to avoid marking an instruction seen when verified under speculative
execution path.

UPSTREAM: bpf: fix precision backtracking instruction iteration
commit 4bb7ea946a370707315ab774432963ce47291946 upstream.

Fix an edge case in __mark_chain_precision() which prematurely stops
backtracking instructions in a state if it happens that state's first
and last instruction indexes are the same. This situations doesn't
necessarily mean that there were no instructions simulated in a state,
but rather that we starting from the instruction, jumped around a bit,
and then ended up at the same instruction before checkpointing or
marking precision.

To distinguish between these two possible situations, we need to consult
jump history. If it's empty or contain a single record "bridging" parent
state and first instruction of processed state, then we indeed
backtracked all instructions in this state. But if history is not empty,
we are definitely not done yet.

Move this logic inside get_prev_insn_idx() to contain it more nicely.
Use -ENOENT return code to denote "we are out of instructions"
situation.

This bug was exposed by verifier_loop1.c's bounded_recursion subtest, once
the next fix in this patch set is applied.

UPSTREAM: bpf: avoid holding freeze_mutex during mmap operation
commit bc27c52eea189e8f7492d40739b7746d67b65beb upstream.

We use map->freeze_mutex to prevent races between map_freeze() and
memory mapping BPF map contents with writable permissions. The way we
naively do this means we'll hold freeze_mutex for entire duration of all
the mm and VMA manipulations, which is completely unnecessary. This can
potentially also lead to deadlocks, as reported by syzbot in [0].

So, instead, hold freeze_mutex only during writeability checks, bump
(proactively) "write active" count for the map, unlock the mutex and
proceed with mmap logic. And only if something went wrong during mmap
logic, then undo that "write active" counter increment.

UPSTREAM: bpf: skip non exist keys in generic_map_lookup_batch
[ Upstream commit 5644c6b50ffee0a56c1e01430a8c88e34decb120 ]

The generic_map_lookup_batch currently returns EINTR if it fails with
ENOENT and retries several times on bpf_map_copy_value. The next batch
would start from the same location, presuming it's a transient issue.
This is incorrect if a map can actually have "holes", i.e.
"get_next_key" can return a key that does not point to a valid value. At
least the array of maps type may contain such holes legitly. Right now
these holes show up, generic batch lookup cannot proceed any more. It
will always fail with EINTR errors.

Rather, do not retry in generic_map_lookup_batch. If it finds a non
existing element, skip to the next key. This simple solution comes with
a price that transient errors may not be recovered, and the iteration
might cycle back to the first key under parallel deletion. For example,
Hou Tao <houtao@huaweicloud.com> pointed out a following scenario:

For LPM trie map:
(1) ->map_get_next_key(map, prev_key, key) returns a valid key

(2) bpf_map_copy_value() return -ENOMENT
It means the key must be deleted concurrently.

(3) goto next_key
It swaps the prev_key and key

(4) ->map_get_next_key(map, prev_key, key) again
prev_key points to a non-existing key, for LPM trie it will treat just
like prev_key=NULL case, the returned key will be duplicated.

With the retry logic, the iteration can continue to the key next to the
deleted one. But if we directly skip to the next key, the iteration loop
would restart from the first key for the lpm_trie type.

However, not all races may be recovered. For example, if current key is
deleted after instead of before bpf_map_copy_value, or if the prev_key
also gets deleted, then the loop will still restart from the first key
for lpm_tire anyway. For generic lookup it might be better to stay
simple, i.e. just skip to the next key. To guarantee that the output
keys are not duplicated, it is better to implement map type specific
batch operations, which can properly lock the trie and synchronize with
concurrent mutators.

UPSTREAM: bpf: sync_linked_regs() must preserve subreg_def
commit e9bd9c498cb0f5843996dbe5cbce7a1836a83c70 upstream.

Range propagation must not affect subreg_def marks, otherwise the
following example is rewritten by verifier incorrectly when
BPF_F_TEST_RND_HI32 flag is set:

  0: call bpf_ktime_get_ns                   call bpf_ktime_get_ns
  1: r0 &= 0x7fffffff       after verifier   r0 &= 0x7fffffff
  2: w1 = w0                rewrites         w1 = w0
  3: if w0 < 10 goto +0     -------------->  r11 = 0x2f5674a6     (r)
  4: r1 >>= 32                               r11 <<= 32           (r)
  5: r0 = r1                                 r1 |= r11            (r)
  6: exit;                                   if w0 < 0xa goto pc+0
                                             r1 >>= 32
                                             r0 = r1
                                             exit

(or zero extension of w1 at (2) is missing for architectures that
 require zero extension for upper register half).

The following happens w/o this patch:
- r0 is marked as not a subreg at (0);
- w1 is marked as subreg at (2);
- w1 subreg_def is overridden at (3) by copy_register_state();
- w1 is read at (5) but mark_insn_zext() does not mark (2)
  for zero extension, because w1 subreg_def is not set;
- because of BPF_F_TEST_RND_HI32 flag verifier inserts random
  value for hi32 bits of (2) (marked (r));
- this random value is read at (5).

UPSTREAM: bpf: Fix overrunning reservations in ringbuf
commit cfa1a2329a691ffd991fcf7248a57d752e712881 upstream.

The BPF ring buffer internally is implemented as a power-of-2 sized circular
buffer, with two logical and ever-increasing counters: consumer_pos is the
consumer counter to show which logical position the consumer consumed the
data, and producer_pos which is the producer counter denoting the amount of
data reserved by all producers.

Each time a record is reserved, the producer that "owns" the record will
successfully advance producer counter. In user space each time a record is
read, the consumer of the data advanced the consumer counter once it finished
processing. Both counters are stored in separate pages so that from user
space, the producer counter is read-only and the consumer counter is read-write.

One aspect that simplifies and thus speeds up the implementation of both
producers and consumers is how the data area is mapped twice contiguously
back-to-back in the virtual memory, allowing to not take any special measures
for samples that have to wrap around at the end of the circular buffer data
area, because the next page after the last data page would be first data page
again, and thus the sample will still appear completely contiguous in virtual
memory.

Each record has a struct bpf_ringbuf_hdr { u32 len; u32 pg_off; } header for
book-keeping the length and offset, and is inaccessible to the BPF program.
Helpers like bpf_ringbuf_reserve() return `(void *)hdr + BPF_RINGBUF_HDR_SZ`
for the BPF program to use. Bing-Jhong and Muhammad reported that it is however
possible to make a second allocated memory chunk overlapping with the first
chunk and as a result, the BPF program is now able to edit first chunk's
header.

For example, consider the creation of a BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF map with size
of 0x4000. Next, the consumer_pos is modified to 0x3000 /before/ a call to
bpf_ringbuf_reserve() is made. This will allocate a chunk A, which is in
[0x0,0x3008], and the BPF program is able to edit [0x8,0x3008]. Now, lets
allocate a chunk B with size 0x3000. This will succeed because consumer_pos
was edited ahead of time to pass the `new_prod_pos - cons_pos > rb->mask`
check. Chunk B will be in range [0x3008,0x6010], and the BPF program is able
to edit [0x3010,0x6010]. Due to the ring buffer memory layout mentioned
earlier, the ranges [0x0,0x4000] and [0x4000,0x8000] point to the same data
pages. This means that chunk B at [0x4000,0x4008] is chunk A's header.
bpf_ringbuf_submit() / bpf_ringbuf_discard() use the header's pg_off to then
locate the bpf_ringbuf itself via bpf_ringbuf_restore_from_rec(). Once chunk
B modified chunk A's header, then bpf_ringbuf_commit() refers to the wrong
page and could cause a crash.

Fix it by calculating the oldest pending_pos and check whether the range
from the oldest outstanding record to the newest would span beyond the ring
buffer size. If that is the case, then reject the request. We've tested with
the ring buffer benchmark in BPF selftests (./benchs/run_bench_ringbufs.sh)
before/after the fix and while it seems a bit slower on some benchmarks, it
is still not significantly enough to matter.

BACKPORT: bpf: Allow reads from uninit stack
commit 6715df8d5d24655b9fd368e904028112b54c7de1 upstream.

This commits updates the following functions to allow reads from
uninitialized stack locations when env->allow_uninit_stack option is
enabled:
- check_stack_read_fixed_off()
- check_stack_range_initialized(), called from:
  - check_stack_read_var_off()
  - check_helper_mem_access()

Such change allows to relax logic in stacksafe() to treat STACK_MISC
and STACK_INVALID in a same way and make the following stack slot
configurations equivalent:

  |  Cached state    |  Current state   |
  |   stack slot     |   stack slot     |
  |------------------+------------------|
  | STACK_INVALID or | STACK_INVALID or |
  | STACK_MISC       | STACK_SPILL   or |
  |                  | STACK_MISC    or |
  |                  | STACK_ZERO    or |
  |                  | STACK_DYNPTR     |

This leads to significant verification speed gains (see below).

The idea was suggested by Andrii Nakryiko [1] and initial patch was
created by Alexei Starovoitov [2].

Currently the env->allow_uninit_stack is allowed for programs loaded
by users with CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN capabilities.

A number of test cases from verifier/*.c were expecting uninitialized
stack access to be an error. These test cases were updated to execute
in unprivileged mode (thus preserving the tests).

The test progs/test_global_func10.c expected "invalid indirect read
from stack" error message because of the access to uninitialized
memory region. This error is no longer possible in privileged mode.
The test is updated to provoke an error "invalid indirect access to
stack" because of access to invalid stack address (such error is not
verified by progs/test_global_func*.c series of tests).

The following tests had to be removed because these can't be made
unprivileged:
- verifier/sock.c:
  - "sk_storage_get(map, skb->sk, &stack_value, 1): partially init
  stack_value"
  BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS programs are not executed in unprivileged mode.
- verifier/var_off.c:
  - "indirect variable-offset stack access, max_off+size > max_initialized"
  - "indirect variable-offset stack access, uninitialized"
  These tests verify that access to uninitialized stack values is
  detected when stack offset is not a constant. However, variable
  stack access is prohibited in unprivileged mode, thus these tests
  are no longer valid.

Note: I limited selection by states_pct<-30%.

Inspection of differences in pyperf600_bpf_loop behavior shows that
the following patch for the test removes almost all differences:

    - a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/pyperf.h
    + b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/pyperf.h
    @ -266,8 +266,8 @ int __on_event(struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args *ctx)
            }

            if (event->pthread_match || !pidData->use_tls) {
    -               void* frame_ptr;
    -               FrameData frame;
    +               void* frame_ptr = 0;
    +               FrameData frame = {};
                    Symbol sym = {};
                    int cur_cpu = bpf_get_smp_processor_id();

W/o this patch the difference comes from the following pattern
(for different variables):

    static bool get_frame_data(... FrameData *frame ...)
    {
        ...
        bpf_probe_read_user(&frame->f_code, ...);
        if (!frame->f_code)
            return false;
        ...
        bpf_probe_read_user(&frame->co_name, ...);
        if (frame->co_name)
            ...;
    }

    int __on_event(struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args *ctx)
    {
        FrameData frame;
        ...
        get_frame_data(... &frame ...) // indirectly via a bpf_loop & callback
        ...
    }

    SEC("raw_tracepoint/kfree_skb")
    int on_event(struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args* ctx)
    {
        ...
        ret |= __on_event(ctx);
        ret |= __on_event(ctx);
        ...
    }

With regards to value `frame->co_name` the following is important:
- Because of the conditional `if (!frame->f_code)` each call to
  __on_event() produces two states, one with `frame->co_name` marked
  as STACK_MISC, another with it as is (and marked STACK_INVALID on a
  first call).
- The call to bpf_probe_read_user() does not mark stack slots
  corresponding to `&frame->co_name` as REG_LIVE_WRITTEN but it marks
  these slots as BPF_MISC, this happens because of the following loop
  in the check_helper_call():

	for (i = 0; i < meta.access_size; i++) {
		err = check_mem_access(env, insn_idx, meta.regno, i, BPF_B,
				       BPF_WRITE, -1, false);
		if (err)
			return err;
	}

  Note the size of the write, it is a one byte write for each byte
  touched by a helper. The BPF_B write does not lead to write marks
  for the target stack slot.
- Which means that w/o this patch when second __on_event() call is
  verified `if (frame->co_name)` will propagate read marks first to a
  stack slot with STACK_MISC marks and second to a stack slot with
  STACK_INVALID marks and these states would be considered different.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Allow delete from sockmap/sockhash only if update is allowed
[ Upstream commit 98e948fb60d41447fd8d2d0c3b8637fc6b6dc26d ]

We have seen an influx of syzkaller reports where a BPF program attached to
a tracepoint triggers a locking rule violation by performing a map_delete
on a sockmap/sockhash.

We don't intend to support this artificial use scenario. Extend the
existing verifier allowed-program-type check for updating sockmap/sockhash
to also cover deleting from a map.

From now on only BPF programs which were previously allowed to update
sockmap/sockhash can delete from these map types.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Protect against int overflow for stack access size
[ Upstream commit ecc6a2101840177e57c925c102d2d29f260d37c8 ]

This patch re-introduces protection against the size of access to stack
memory being negative; the access size can appear negative as a result
of overflowing its signed int representation. This should not actually
happen, as there are other protections along the way, but we should
protect against it anyway. One code path was missing such protections
(fixed in the previous patch in the series), causing out-of-bounds array
accesses in check_stack_range_initialized(). This patch causes the
verification of a program with such a non-sensical access size to fail.

This check used to exist in a more indirect way, but was inadvertendly
removed in a833a17aeac7.

When running an XDP program that is attached to a cpumap entry, we don't
initialise the xdp_rxq_info data structure being used in the xdp_buff
that backs the XDP program invocation. Tobias noticed that this leads to
random values being returned as the xdp_md->rx_queue_index value for XDP
programs running in a cpumap.

This means we're basically returning the contents of the uninitialised
memory, which is bad. Fix this by zero-initialising the rxq data
structure before running the XDP program.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Fix verification of indirect var-off stack access
[ Upstream commit a833a17aeac73b33f79433d7cee68d5cafd71e4f ]

This patch fixes a bug around the verification of possibly-zero-sized
stack accesses. When the access was done through a var-offset stack
pointer, check_stack_access_within_bounds was incorrectly computing the
maximum-offset of a zero-sized read to be the same as the register's min
offset. Instead, we have to take in account the register's maximum
possible value. The patch also simplifies how the max offset is checked;
the check is now simpler than for min offset.

The bug was allowing accesses to erroneously pass the
check_stack_access_within_bounds() checks, only to later crash in
check_stack_range_initialized() when all the possibly-affected stack
slots are iterated (this time with a correct max offset).
check_stack_range_initialized() is relying on
check_stack_access_within_bounds() for its accesses to the
stack-tracking vector to be within bounds; in the case of zero-sized
accesses, we were essentially only verifying that the lowest possible
slot was within bounds. We would crash when the max-offset of the stack
pointer was >= 0 (which shouldn't pass verification, and hopefully is
not something anyone's code attempts to do in practice).

Thanks Hao for reporting!

[ Upstream commit ab125ed3ec1c10ccc36bc98c7a4256ad114a3dae ]

When register is spilled onto a stack as a 1/2/4-byte register, we set
slot_type[BPF_REG_SIZE - 1] (plus potentially few more below it,
depending on actual spill size). So to check if some stack slot has
spilled register we need to consult slot_type[7], not slot_type[0].

To avoid the need to remember and double-check this in the future, just
use is_spilled_reg() helper.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Add crosstask check to __bpf_get_stack
[ Upstream commit b8e3a87a627b575896e448021e5c2f8a3bc19931 ]

Currently get_perf_callchain only supports user stack walking for
the current task. Passing the correct *crosstask* param will return
0 frames if the task passed to __bpf_get_stack isn't the current
one instead of a single incorrect frame/address. This change
passes the correct *crosstask* param but also does a preemptive
check in __bpf_get_stack if the task is current and returns
-EOPNOTSUPP if it is not.

This issue was found using bpf_get_task_stack inside a BPF
iterator ("iter/task"), which iterates over all tasks.
bpf_get_task_stack works fine for fetching kernel stacks
but because get_perf_callchain relies on the caller to know
if the requested *task* is the current one (via *crosstask*)
it was failing in a confusing way.

It might be possible to get user stacks for all tasks utilizing
something like access_process_vm but that requires the bpf
program calling bpf_get_task_stack to be sleepable and would
therefore be a breaking change.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Fix check_stack_write_fixed_off() to correctly spill imm
commit 811c363645b33e6e22658634329e95f383dfc705 upstream.

In check_stack_write_fixed_off(), imm value is cast to u32 before being
spilled to the stack. Therefore, the sign information is lost, and the
range information is incorrect when load from the stack again.

For the following prog:
0: r2 = r10
1: *(u64*)(r2 -40) = -44
2: r0 = *(u64*)(r2 - 40)
3: if r0 s<= 0xa goto +2
4: r0 = 1
5: exit
6: r0  = 0
7: exit

The verifier gives:
func#0 @0
0: R1=ctx(off=0,imm=0) R10=fp0
0: (bf) r2 = r10                      ; R2_w=fp0 R10=fp0
1: (7a) *(u64 *)(r2 -40) = -44        ; R2_w=fp0 fp-40_w=4294967252
2: (79) r0 = *(u64 *)(r2 -40)         ; R0_w=4294967252 R2_w=fp0
fp-40_w=4294967252
3: (c5) if r0 s< 0xa goto pc+2
mark_precise: frame0: last_idx 3 first_idx 0 subseq_idx -1
mark_precise: frame0: regs=r0 stack= before 2: (79) r0 = *(u64 *)(r2 -40)
3: R0_w=4294967252
4: (b7) r0 = 1                        ; R0_w=1
5: (95) exit
verification time 7971 usec
stack depth 40
processed 6 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 0 total_states 0
peak_states 0 mark_read 0

So remove the incorrect cast, since imm field is declared as s32, and
__mark_reg_known() takes u64, so imm would be correctly sign extended
by compiler.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Detect IP == ksym.end as part of BPF program
[ Upstream commit 66d9111f3517f85ef2af0337ece02683ce0faf21 ]

Now that bpf_throw kfunc is the first such call instruction that has
noreturn semantics within the verifier, this also kicks in dead code
elimination in unprecedented ways. For one, any instruction following
a bpf_throw call will never be marked as seen. Moreover, if a callchain
ends up throwing, any instructions after the call instruction to the
eventually throwing subprog in callers will also never be marked as
seen.

The tempting way to fix this would be to emit extra 'int3' instructions
which bump the jited_len of a program, and ensure that during runtime
when a program throws, we can discover its boundaries even if the call
instruction to bpf_throw (or to subprogs that always throw) is emitted
as the final instruction in the program.

An example of such a program would be this:

do_something():
	...
	r0 = 0
	exit

foo():
	r1 = 0
	call bpf_throw
	r0 = 0
	exit

bar(cond):
	if r1 != 0 goto pc+2
	call do_something
	exit
	call foo
	r0 = 0  // Never seen by verifier
	exit	//

main(ctx):
	r1 = ...
	call bar
	r0 = 0
	exit

Here, if we do end up throwing, the stacktrace would be the following:

bpf_throw
foo
bar
main

In bar, the final instruction emitted will be the call to foo, as such,
the return address will be the subsequent instruction (which the JIT
emits as int3 on x86). This will end up lying outside the jited_len of
the program, thus, when unwinding, we will fail to discover the return
address as belonging to any program and end up in a panic due to the
unreliable stack unwinding of BPF programs that we never expect.

To remedy this case, make bpf_prog_ksym_find treat IP == ksym.end as
part of the BPF program, so that is_bpf_text_address returns true when
such a case occurs, and we are able to unwind reliably when the final
instruction ends up being a call instruction.

UPSTREAM: bpf: aggressively forget precise markings during state checkpointing
[ Upstream commit 7a830b53c17bbadcf99f778f28aaaa4e6c41df5f ]

Exploit the property of about-to-be-checkpointed state to be able to
forget all precise markings up to that point even more aggressively. We
now clear all potentially inherited precise markings right before
checkpointing and branching off into child state. If any of children
states require precise knowledge of any SCALAR register, those will be
propagated backwards later on before this state is finalized, preserving
correctness.

There is a single selftests BPF program change, but tremendous one: 25x
reduction in number of verified instructions and states in
trace_virtqueue_add_sgs.

Cilium results are more modest, but happen across wider range of programs.

UPSTREAM: bpf: stop setting precise in current state
[ Upstream commit f63181b6ae79fd3b034cde641db774268c2c3acf ]

Setting reg->precise to true in current state is not necessary from
correctness standpoint, but it does pessimise the whole precision (or
rather "imprecision", because that's what we want to keep as much as
possible) tracking. Why is somewhat subtle and my best attempt to
explain this is recorded in an extensive comment for __mark_chain_precise()
function. Some more careful thinking and code reading is probably required
still to grok this completely, unfortunately. Whiteboarding and a bunch
of extra handwaiving in person would be even more helpful, but is deemed
impractical in Git commit.

Next patch pushes this imprecision property even further, building on top of
the insights described in this patch.

End results are pretty nice, we get reduction in number of total instructions
and states verified due to a better states reuse, as some of the states are now
more generic and permissive due to less unnecessary precise=true requirements.

UPSTREAM: bpf: allow precision tracking for programs with subprogs
[ Upstream commit be2ef8161572ec1973124ebc50f56dafc2925e07 ]

Stop forcing precise=true for SCALAR registers when BPF program has any
subprograms. Current restriction means that any BPF program, as soon as
it uses subprograms, will end up not getting any of the precision
tracking benefits in reduction of number of verified states.

This patch keeps the fallback mark_all_scalars_precise() behavior if
precise marking has to cross function frames. E.g., if subprogram
requires R1 (first input arg) to be marked precise, ideally we'd need to
backtrack to the parent function and keep marking R1 and its
dependencies as precise. But right now we give up and force all the
SCALARs in any of the current and parent states to be forced to
precise=true. We can lift that restriction in the future.

But this patch fixes two issues identified when trying to enable
precision tracking for subprogs.

First, prevent "escaping" from top-most state in a global subprog. While
with entry-level BPF program we never end up requesting precision for
R1-R5 registers, because R2-R5 are not initialized (and so not readable
in correct BPF program), and R1 is PTR_TO_CTX, not SCALAR, and so is
implicitly precise. With global subprogs, though, it's different, as
global subprog a) can have up to 5 SCALAR input arguments, which might
get marked as precise=true and b) it is validated in isolation from its
main entry BPF program. b) means that we can end up exhausting parent
state chain and still not mark all registers in reg_mask as precise,
which would lead to verifier bug warning.

To handle that, we need to consider two cases. First, if the very first
state is not immediately "checkpointed" (i.e., stored in state lookup
hashtable), it will get correct first_insn_idx and last_insn_idx
instruction set during state checkpointing. As such, this case is
already handled and __mark_chain_precision() already handles that by
just doing nothing when we reach to the very first parent state.
st->parent will be NULL and we'll just stop. Perhaps some extra check
for reg_mask and stack_mask is due here, but this patch doesn't address
that issue.

More problematic second case is when global function's initial state is
immediately checkpointed before we manage to process the very first
instruction. This is happening because when there is a call to global
subprog from the main program the very first subprog's instruction is
marked as pruning point, so before we manage to process first
instruction we have to check and checkpoint state. This patch adds
a special handling for such "empty" state, which is identified by having
st->last_insn_idx set to -1. In such case, we check that we are indeed
validating global subprog, and with some sanity checking we mark input
args as precise if requested.

Note that we also initialize state->first_insn_idx with correct start
insn_idx offset. For main program zero is correct value, but for any
subprog it's quite confusing to not have first_insn_idx set. This
doesn't have any functional impact, but helps with debugging and state
printing. We also explicitly initialize state->last_insns_idx instead of
relying on is_state_visited() to do this with env->prev_insns_idx, which
will be -1 on the very first instruction. This concludes necessary
changes to handle specifically global subprog's precision tracking.

Second identified problem was missed handling of BPF helper functions
that call into subprogs (e.g., bpf_loop and few others). From precision
tracking and backtracking logic's standpoint those are effectively calls
into subprogs and should be called as BPF_PSEUDO_CALL calls.

This patch takes the least intrusive way and just checks against a short
list of current BPF helpers that do call subprogs, encapsulated in
is_callback_calling_function() function. But to prevent accidentally
forgetting to add new BPF helpers to this "list", we also do a sanity
check in __check_func_call, which has to be called for each such special
BPF helper, to validate that BPF helper is indeed recognized as
callback-calling one. This should catch any missed checks in the future.
Adding some special flags to be added in function proto definitions
seemed like an overkill in this case.

With the above changes, it's possible to remove forceful setting of
reg->precise to true in __mark_reg_unknown, which turns on precision
tracking both inside subprogs and entry progs that have subprogs. No
warnings or errors were detected across all the selftests, but also when
validating with veristat against internal Meta BPF objects and Cilium
objects. Further, in some BPF programs there are noticeable reduction in
number of states and instructions validated due to more effective
precision tracking, especially benefiting syncookie test.

UPSTREAM: bpf/btf: Accept function names that contain dots
[ Upstream commit 9724160b3942b0a967b91a59f81da5593f28b8ba ]

When building a kernel with LLVM=1, LLVM_IAS=0 and CONFIG_KASAN=y, LLVM
leaves DWARF tags for the "asan.module_ctor" & co symbols. In turn,
pahole creates BTF_KIND_FUNC entries for these and this makes the BTF
metadata validation fail because they contain a dot.

In a dramatic turn of event, this BTF verification failure can cause
the netfilter_bpf initialization to fail, causing netfilter_core to
free the netfilter_helper hashmap and netfilter_ftp to trigger a
use-after-free. The risk of u-a-f in netfilter will be addressed
separately but the existence of "asan.module_ctor" debug info under some
build conditions sounds like a good enough reason to accept functions
that contain dots in BTF.

Although using only LLVM=1 is the recommended way to compile clang-based
kernels, users can certainly do LLVM=1, LLVM_IAS=0 as well and we still
try to support that combination according to Nick. To clarify:

  - > v5.10 kernel, LLVM=1 (LLVM_IAS=0 is not the default) is recommended,
    but user can still have LLVM=1, LLVM_IAS=0 to trigger the issue

  - <= 5.10 kernel, LLVM=1 (LLVM_IAS=0 is the default) is recommended in
    which case GNU as will be used

UPSTREAM: bpf: Fix verifier id tracking of scalars on spill
[ Upstream commit 713274f1f2c896d37017efee333fd44149710119 ]

The following scenario describes a bug in the verifier where it
incorrectly concludes about equivalent scalar IDs which could lead to
verifier bypass in privileged mode:

1. Prepare a 32-bit rogue number.
2. Put the rogue number into the upper half of a 64-bit register, and
   roll a random (unknown to the verifier) bit in the lower half. The
   rest of the bits should be zero (although variations are possible).
3. Assign an ID to the register by MOVing it to another arbitrary
   register.
4. Perform a 32-bit spill of the register, then perform a 32-bit fill to
   another register. Due to a bug in the verifier, the ID will be
   preserved, although the new register will contain only the lower 32
   bits, i.e. all zeros except one random bit.

At this point there are two registers with different values but the same
ID, which means the integrity of the verifier state has been corrupted.

5. Compare the new 32-bit register with 0. In the branch where it's
   equal to 0, the verifier will believe that the original 64-bit
   register is also 0, because it has the same ID, but its actual value
   still contains the rogue number in the upper half.
   Some optimizations of the verifier prevent the actual bypass, so
   extra care is needed: the comparison must be between two registers,
   and both branches must be reachable (this is why one random bit is
   needed). Both branches are still suitable for the bypass.
6. Right shift the original register by 32 bits to pop the rogue number.
7. Use the rogue number as an offset with any pointer. The verifier will
   believe that the offset is 0, while in reality it's the given number.

The fix is similar to the 32-bit BPF_MOV handling in check_alu_op for
SCALAR_VALUE. If the spill is narrowing the actual register value, don't
keep the ID, make sure it's reset to 0.

UPSTREAM: bpf: track immediate values written to stack by BPF_ST instruction
[ Upstream commit ecdf985d7615356b78241fdb159c091830ed0380 ]

For aligned stack writes using BPF_ST instruction track stored values
in a same way BPF_STX is handled, e.g. make sure that the following
commands produce similar verifier knowledge:

  fp[-8] = 42;             r1 = 42;
                       fp[-8] = r1;

This covers two cases:
 - non-null values written to stack are stored as spill of fake
   registers;
 - null values written to stack are stored as STACK_ZERO marks.

Previously both cases above used STACK_MISC marks instead.

Some verifier test cases relied on the old logic to obtain STACK_MISC
marks for some stack values. These test cases are updated in the same
commit to avoid failures during bisect.

There are a few cases where hlist_node is checked to be unhashed without
holding the lock protecting its modification. In this case, one must use
hlist_unhashed_lockless to avoid load tearing and KCSAN reports. Fix
this by using lockless variant in places not protected by the lock.

Since this is not prompted by any actual KCSAN reports but only from
code review, I have not included a fixes tag.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Remove misleading spec_v1 check on var-offset stack read
[ Upstream commit 082cdc69a4651dd2a77539d69416a359ed1214f5 ]

For every BPF_ADD/SUB involving a pointer, adjust_ptr_min_max_vals()
ensures that the resulting pointer has a constant offset if
bypass_spec_v1 is false. This is ensured by calling sanitize_check_bounds()
which in turn calls check_stack_access_for_ptr_arithmetic(). There,
-EACCESS is returned if the register's offset is not constant, thereby
rejecting the program.

In summary, an unprivileged user must never be able to create stack
pointers with a variable offset. That is also the case, because a
respective check in check_stack_write() is missing. If they were able
to create a variable-offset pointer, users could still use it in a
stack-write operation to trigger unsafe speculative behavior [1].

Because unprivileged users must already be prevented from creating
variable-offset stack pointers, viable options are to either remove
this check (replacing it with a clarifying comment), or to turn it
into a "verifier BUG"-message, also adding a similar check in
check_stack_write() (for consistency, as a second-level defense).
This patch implements the first option to reduce verifier bloat.

This check was introduced by commit 01f810ace9ed ("bpf: Allow
variable-offset stack access") which correctly notes that
"variable-offset reads and writes are disallowed (they were already
disallowed for the indirect access case) because the speculative
execution checking code doesn't support them". However, it does not
further discuss why the check in check_stack_read() is necessary.
The code which made this check obsolete was also introduced in this
commit.

I have compiled ~650 programs from the Linux selftests, Linux samples,
Cilium, and libbpf/examples projects and confirmed that none of these
trigger the check in check_stack_read() [2]. Instead, all of these
programs are, as expected, already rejected when constructing the
variable-offset pointers. Note that the check in
check_stack_access_for_ptr_arithmetic() also prints "off=%d" while the
code removed by this patch does not (the error removed does not appear
in the "verification_error" values). For reproducibility, the
repository linked includes the raw data and scripts used to create
the plot.

UPSTREAM: bpf: take into account liveness when propagating precision
[ Upstream commit 52c2b005a3c18c565fc70cfd0ca49375f301e952 ]

When doing state comparison, if old state has register that is not
marked as REG_LIVE_READ, then we just skip comparison, regardless what's
the state of corresponing register in current state. This is because not
REG_LIVE_READ register is irrelevant for further program execution and
correctness. All good here.

But when we get to precision propagation, after two states were declared
equivalent, we don't take into account old register's liveness, and thus
attempt to propagate precision for register in current state even if
that register in old state was not REG_LIVE_READ anymore. This is bad,
because register in current state could be anything at all and this
could cause -EFAULT due to internal logic bugs.

Fix by taking into account REG_LIVE_READ liveness mark to keep the logic
in state comparison in sync with precision propagation.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Fix global subprog context argument resolution logic
[ Upstream commit d384dce281ed1b504fae2e279507827638d56fa3 ]

KPROBE program's user-facing context type is defined as typedef
bpf_user_pt_regs_t. This leads to a problem when trying to passing
kprobe/uprobe/usdt context argument into global subprog, as kernel
always strip away mods and typedefs of user-supplied type, but takes
expected type from bpf_ctx_convert as is, which causes mismatch.

Current way to work around this is to define a fake struct with the same
name as expected typedef:

  struct bpf_user_pt_regs_t {};

  __noinline my_global_subprog(struct bpf_user_pt_regs_t *ctx) { ... }

This patch fixes the issue by resolving expected type, if it's not
a struct. It still leaves the above work-around working for backwards
compatibility.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Do not reject when the stack read size is different from the tracked scalar size
[ Upstream commit f30d4968e9aee737e174fc97942af46cfb49b484 ]

Below is a simplified case from a report in bcc [0]:

  r4 = 20
  *(u32 *)(r10 -4) = r4
  *(u32 *)(r10 -8) = r4  /* r4 state is tracked */
  r4 = *(u64 *)(r10 -8)  /* Read more than the tracked 32bit scalar.
			  * verifier rejects as 'corrupted spill memory'.
			  */

After commit 354e8f1970f8 ("bpf: Support <8-byte scalar spill and refill"),
the 8-byte aligned 32bit spill is also tracked by the verifier and the
register state is stored.

However, if 8 bytes are read from the stack instead of the tracked 4 byte
scalar, then verifier currently rejects the program as "corrupted spill
memory". This patch fixes this case by allowing it to read but marks the
register as unknown.

Also note that, if the prog is trying to corrupt/leak an earlier spilled
pointer by spilling another <8 bytes register on top, this has already
been rejected in the check_stack_write_fixed_off().

UPSTREAM: bpf: Fix to preserve reg parent/live fields when copying range info
[ Upstream commit 71f656a50176915d6813751188b5758daa8d012b ]

Register range information is copied in several places. The intent is
to transfer range/id information from one register/stack spill to
another. Currently this is done using direct register assignment, e.g.:

static void find_equal_scalars(..., struct bpf_reg_state *known_reg)
{
	...
	struct bpf_reg_state *reg;
	...
			*reg = *known_reg;
	...
}

However, such assignments also copy the following bpf_reg_state fields:

struct bpf_reg_state {
	...
	struct bpf_reg_state *parent;
	...
	enum bpf_reg_liveness live;
	...
};

Copying of these fields is accidental and incorrect, as could be
demonstrated by the following example:

     0: call ktime_get_ns()
     1: r6 = r0
     2: call ktime_get_ns()
     3: r7 = r0
     4: if r0 > r6 goto +1             ; r0 & r6 are unbound thus generated
                                       ; branch states are identical
     5: *(u64 *)(r10 - 8) = 0xdeadbeef ; 64-bit write to fp[-8]
    --- checkpoint ---
     6: r1 = 42                        ; r1 marked as written
     7: *(u8 *)(r10 - 8) = r1          ; 8-bit write, fp[-8] parent & live
                                       ; overwritten
     8: r2 = *(u64 *)(r10 - 8)
     9: r0 = 0
    10: exit

This example is unsafe because 64-bit write to fp[-8] at (5) is
conditional, thus not all bytes of fp[-8] are guaranteed to be set
when it is read at (8). However, currently the example passes
verification.

First, the execution path 1-10 is examined by verifier.
Suppose that a new checkpoint is created by is_state_visited() at (6).
After checkpoint creation:
- r1.parent points to checkpoint.r1,
- fp[-8].parent points to checkpoint.fp[-8].
At (6) the r1.live is set to REG_LIVE_WRITTEN.
At (7) the fp[-8].parent is set to r1.parent and fp[-8].live is set to
REG_LIVE_WRITTEN, because of the following code called in
check_stack_write_fixed_off():

static void save_register_state(struct bpf_func_state *state,
				int spi, struct bpf_reg_state *reg,
				int size)
{
	...
	state->stack[spi].spilled_ptr = *reg;  // <--- parent & live copied
	if (size == BPF_REG_SIZE)
		state->stack[spi].spilled_ptr.live |= REG_LIVE_WRITTEN;
	...
}

Note the intent to mark stack spill as written only if 8 bytes are
spilled to a slot, however this intent is spoiled by a 'live' field copy.
At (8) the checkpoint.fp[-8] should be marked as REG_LIVE_READ but
this does not happen:
- fp[-8] in a current state is already marked as REG_LIVE_WRITTEN;
- fp[-8].parent points to checkpoint.r1, parentage chain is used by
  mark_reg_read() to mark checkpoint states.
At (10) the verification is finished for path 1-10 and jump 4-6 is
examined. The checkpoint.fp[-8] never gets REG_LIVE_READ mark and this
spill is pruned from the cached states by clean_live_states(). Hence
verifier state obtained via path 1-4,6 is deemed identical to one
obtained via path 1-6 and program marked as safe.

Note: the example should be executed with BPF_F_TEST_STATE_FREQ flag
set to force creation of intermediate verifier states.

This commit revisits the locations where bpf_reg_state instances are
copied and replaces the direct copies with a call to a function
copy_register_state(dst, src) that preserves 'parent' and 'live'
fields of the 'dst'.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Support <8-byte scalar spill and refill
[ Upstream commit 354e8f1970f821d4952458f77b1ab6c3eb24d530 ]

The verifier currently does not save the reg state when
spilling <8byte bounded scalar to the stack.  The bpf program
will be incorrectly rejected when this scalar is refilled to
the reg and then used to offset into a packet header.
The later patch has a simplified bpf prog from a real use case
to demonstrate this case.  The current work around is
to reparse the packet again such that this offset scalar
is close to where the packet data will be accessed to
avoid the spill.  Thus, the header is parsed twice.

The llvm patch [1] will align the <8bytes spill to
the 8-byte stack address.  This can simplify the verifier
support by avoiding to store multiple reg states for
each 8 byte stack slot.

This patch changes the verifier to save the reg state when
spilling <8bytes scalar to the stack.  This reg state saving
is limited to spill aligned to the 8-byte stack address.
The current refill logic has already called coerce_reg_to_size(),
so coerce_reg_to_size() is not called on state->stack[spi].spilled_ptr
during spill.

When refilling in check_stack_read_fixed_off(),  it checks
the refill size is the same as the number of bytes marked with
STACK_SPILL before restoring the reg state.  When restoring
the reg state to state->regs[dst_regno], it needs
to avoid the state->regs[dst_regno].subreg_def being
over written because it has been marked by the check_reg_arg()
earlier [check_mem_access() is called after check_reg_arg() in
do_check()].  Reordering check_mem_access() and check_reg_arg()
will need a lot of changes in test_verifier's tests because
of the difference in verifier's error message.  Thus, the
patch here is to save the state->regs[dst_regno].subreg_def
first in check_stack_read_fixed_off().

There are cases that the verifier needs to scrub the spilled slot
from STACK_SPILL to STACK_MISC.  After this patch the spill is not always
in 8 bytes now, so it can no longer assume the other 7 bytes are always
marked as STACK_SPILL.  In particular, the scrub needs to avoid marking
an uninitialized byte from STACK_INVALID to STACK_MISC.  Otherwise, the
verifier will incorrectly accept bpf program reading uninitialized bytes
from the stack.  A new helper scrub_spilled_slot() is created for this
purpose.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Fix incorrect state pruning for <8B spill/fill
commit 345e004d023343d38088fdfea39688aa11e06ccf upstream.

Commit 354e8f1970f8 ("bpf: Support <8-byte scalar spill and refill")
introduced support in the verifier to track <8B spill/fills of scalars.
The backtracking logic for the precision bit was however skipping
spill/fills of less than 8B. That could cause state pruning to consider
two states equivalent when they shouldn't be.

As an example, consider the following bytecode snippet:

  0:  r7 = r1
  1:  call bpf_get_prandom_u32
  2:  r6 = 2
  3:  if r0 == 0 goto pc+1
  4:  r6 = 3
  ...
  8: [state pruning point]
  ...
  /* u32 spill/fill */
  10: *(u32 *)(r10 - 8) = r6
  11: r8 = *(u32 *)(r10 - 8)
  12: r0 = 0
  13: if r8 == 3 goto pc+1
  14: r0 = 1
  15: exit

The verifier first walks the path with R6=3. Given the support for <8B
spill/fills, at instruction 13, it knows the condition is true and skips
instruction 14. At that point, the backtracking logic kicks in but stops
at the fill instruction since it only propagates the precision bit for
8B spill/fill. When the verifier then walks the path with R6=2, it will
consider it safe at instruction 8 because R6 is not marked as needing
precision. Instruction 14 is thus never walked and is then incorrectly
removed as 'dead code'.

It's also possible to lead the verifier to accept e.g. an out-of-bound
memory access instead of causing an incorrect dead code elimination.

This regression was found via Cilium's bpf-next CI where it was causing
a conntrack map update to be silently skipped because the code had been
removed by the verifier.

This commit fixes it by enabling support for <8B spill/fills in the
bactracking logic. In case of a <8B spill/fill, the full 8B stack slot
will be marked as needing precision. Then, in __mark_chain_precision,
any tracked register spilled in a marked slot will itself be marked as
needing precision, regardless of the spill size. This logic makes two
assumptions: (1) only 8B-aligned spill/fill are tracked and (2) spilled
registers are only tracked if the spill and fill sizes are equal. Commit
ef979017b837 ("bpf: selftest: Add verifier tests for <8-byte scalar
spill and refill") covers the first assumption and the next commit in
this patchset covers the second.

UPSTREAM: bpf: propagate precision across all frames, not just the last one
[ Upstream commit 529409ea92d590659be487ba0839710329bd8074 ]

When equivalent completed state is found and it has additional precision
restrictions, BPF verifier propagates precision to
currently-being-verified state chain (i.e., including parent states) so
that if some of the states in the chain are not yet completed, necessary
precision restrictions are enforced.

Unfortunately, right now this happens only for the last frame (deepest
active subprogram's frame), not all the frames. This can lead to
incorrect matching of states due to missing precision marker. Currently
this doesn't seem possible as BPF verifier forces everything to precise
when validated BPF program has any subprograms. But with the next patch
lifting this restriction, this becomes problematic.

In fact, without this fix, we'll start getting failure in one of the
existing test_verifier test cases:

  #906/p precise: cross frame pruning FAIL
  Unexpected success to load!
  verification time 48 usec
  stack depth 0+0
  processed 26 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 3 total_states 17 peak_states 17 mark_read 8

This patch adds precision propagation across all frames.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Check the other end of slot_type for STACK_SPILL
[ Upstream commit 27113c59b6d0a587b29ae72d4ff3f832f58b0651 ]

Every 8 bytes of the stack is tracked by a bpf_stack_state.
Within each bpf_stack_state, there is a 'u8 slot_type[8]' to track
the type of each byte.  Verifier tests slot_type[0] == STACK_SPILL
to decide if the spilled reg state is saved.  Verifier currently only
saves the reg state if the whole 8 bytes are spilled to the stack,
so checking the slot_type[7] is the same as checking slot_type[0].

The later patch will allow verifier to save the bounded scalar
reg also for <8 bytes spill.  There is a llvm patch [1] to ensure
the <8 bytes spill will be 8-byte aligned,  so checking
slot_type[7] instead of slot_type[0] is required.

While at it, this patch refactors the slot_type[0] == STACK_SPILL
test into a new function is_spilled_reg() and change the
slot_type[0] check to slot_type[7] check in there also.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Do not copy spin lock field from user in bpf_selem_alloc
[ Upstream commit 836e49e103dfeeff670c934b7d563cbd982fce87 ]

bpf_selem_alloc function is used by inode_storage, sk_storage and
task_storage maps to set map value, for these map types, there may
be a spin lock in the map value, so if we use memcpy to copy the whole
map value from user, the spin lock field may be initialized incorrectly.

Since the spin lock field is zeroed by kzalloc, call copy_map_value
instead of memcpy to skip copying the spin lock field to fix it.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Initialize same number of free nodes for each pcpu_freelist
[ Upstream commit 4b45cd81f737d79d0fbfc0d320a1e518e7f0bbf0 ]

pcpu_freelist_populate() initializes nr_elems / num_possible_cpus() + 1
free nodes for some CPUs, and then possibly one CPU with fewer nodes,
followed by remaining cpus with 0 nodes. For example, when nr_elems == 256
and num_possible_cpus() == 32, CPU 0~27 each gets 9 free nodes, CPU 28 gets
4 free nodes, CPU 29~31 get 0 free nodes, while in fact each CPU should get
8 nodes equally.

This patch initializes nr_elems / num_possible_cpus() free nodes for each
CPU firstly, then allocates the remaining free nodes by one for each CPU
until no free nodes left.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Fix wrong reg type conversion in release_reference()
[ Upstream commit f1db20814af532f85e091231223e5e4818e8464b ]

Some helper functions will allocate memory. To avoid memory leaks, the
verifier requires the eBPF program to release these memories by calling
the corresponding helper functions.

When a resource is released, all pointer registers corresponding to the
resource should be invalidated. The verifier use release_references() to
do this job, by apply  __mark_reg_unknown() to each relevant register.

It will give these registers the type of SCALAR_VALUE. A register that
will contain a pointer value at runtime, but of type SCALAR_VALUE, which
may allow the unprivileged user to get a kernel pointer by storing this
register into a map.

Using __mark_reg_not_init() while NOT allow_ptr_leaks can mitigate this
problem.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Add helper macro bpf_for_each_reg_in_vstate
[ Upstream commit b239da34203f49c40b5d656220c39647c3ff0b3c ]

For a lot of use cases in future patches, we will want to modify the
state of registers part of some same 'group' (e.g. same ref_obj_id). It
won't just be limited to releasing reference state, but setting a type
flag dynamically based on certain actions, etc.

Hence, we need a way to easily pass a callback to the function that
iterates over all registers in current bpf_verifier_state in all frames
upto (and including) the curframe.

While in C++ we would be able to easily use a lambda to pass state and
the callback together, sadly we aren't using C++ in the kernel. The next
best thing to avoid defining a function for each case seems like
statement expressions in GNU C. The kernel already uses them heavily,
hence they can passed to the macro in the style of a lambda. The
statement expression will then be substituted in the for loop bodies.

Variables __state and __reg are set to current bpf_func_state and reg
for each invocation of the expression inside the passed in verifier
state.

Then, convert mark_ptr_or_null_regs, clear_all_pkt_pointers,
release_reference, find_good_pkt_pointers, find_equal_scalars to
use bpf_for_each_reg_in_vstate.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Support for pointers beyond pkt_end.
[ Upstream commit 6d94e741a8ff818e5518da8257f5ca0aaed1f269 ]

This patch adds the verifier support to recognize inlined branch conditions.
The LLVM knows that the branch evaluates to the same value, but the verifier
couldn't track it. Hence causing valid programs to be rejected.
The potential LLVM workaround: https://reviews.llvm.org/D87428
can have undesired side effects, since LLVM doesn't know that
skb->data/data_end are being compared. LLVM has to introduce extra boolean
variable and use inline_asm trick to force easier for the verifier assembly.

Instead teach the verifier to recognize that
r1 = skb->data;
r1 += 10;
r2 = skb->data_end;
if (r1 > r2) {
  here r1 points beyond packet_end and
  subsequent
  if (r1 > r2) // always evaluates to "true".
}

Repetition steps:

For the following cgroup tree,

  cg1

  cg2

  1. attach prog2 to cg2, and then attach prog1 to cg1, both bpf progs
     attach type is NONE or OVERRIDE.
  2. write 1 to /proc/thread-self/fail-nth for failslab.
  3. detach prog1 for cg1, and then kernel BUG occur.

Failslab injection will cause kmalloc fail and fall back to
purge_effective_progs. The problem is that cg2 have attached another prog,
so when go through cg2 layer, iteration will add pos to 1, and subsequent
operations will be skipped by the following condition, and cg will meet
NULL in the end.

  `if (pos && !(cg->bpf.flags[atype] & BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI))`

The NULL cg means no link or prog match, this is as expected, and it's not
a bug. So here just skip the no match situation.

The problem here is that a range of tnum_range(0, map->max_entries - 1) has
limited ability to represent the concrete tight range with the tnum as the
set of resulting states from value + mask can result in a superset of the
actual intended range, and as such a tnum_in(range, reg->var_off) check may
yield true when it shouldn't, for example tnum_range(0, 2) would result in
00XX -> v = 0000, m = 0011 such that the intended set of {0, 1, 2} is here
represented by a less precise superset of {0, 1, 2, 3}. As the register is
known const scalar, really just use the concrete reg->var_off.value for the
upper index check.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Fix KASAN use-after-free Read in compute_effective_progs
commit 4c46091ee985ae84c60c5e95055d779fcd291d87 upstream.

Syzbot found a Use After Free bug in compute_effective_progs().
The reproducer creates a number of BPF links, and causes a fault
injected alloc to fail, while calling bpf_link_detach on them.
Link detach triggers the link to be freed by bpf_link_free(),
which calls __cgroup_bpf_detach() and update_effective_progs().
If the memory allocation in this function fails, the function restores
the pointer to the bpf_cgroup_link on the cgroup list, but the memory
gets freed just after it returns. After this, every subsequent call to
update_effective_progs() causes this already deallocated pointer to be
dereferenced in prog_list_length(), and triggers KASAN UAF error.

To fix this issue don't preserve the pointer to the prog or link in the
list, but remove it and replace it with a dummy prog without shrinking
the table. The subsequent call to __cgroup_bpf_detach() or
__cgroup_bpf_detach() will correct it.
