With eBPF JIT compiler enabled on x86_64, I was able to reliably trigger
the following general protection fault out of an eBPF program with a simple
tail call, f.e. tracex5 (or a stripped down version of it):

The problem is that rax has 5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a, which suggests a tail call
jump to map slot 0 is pointing to a poisoned page. The issue is the following:

lea instruction has a wrong offset, i.e. it should be ...

  lea    0x80(%rsi,%rdx,8),%rax

... but it actually seems to be ...

  lea   -0x80(%rsi,%rdx,8),%rax

... where 0x80 is offsetof(struct bpf_array, prog), thus the offset needs
to be positive instead of negative. Disassembling the interpreter, we btw
similarly do:

  [...]
  c88:  lea     0x80(%rax,%rdx,8),%rax  &lt;--- prog = array-&gt;prog[index]
        48 8d 84 d0 80 00 00 00
  c90:  add     $0x1,%r13d
        41 83 c5 01
  c94:  mov     (%rax),%rax
        48 8b 00
  [...]

Now the other interesting fact is that this panic triggers only when things
like CONFIG_LOCKDEP are being used. In that case offsetof(struct bpf_array,
prog) starts at offset 0x80 and in non-CONFIG_LOCKDEP case at offset 0x50.
Reason is that the work_struct inside struct bpf_map grows by 48 bytes in my
case due to the lockdep_map member (which also has CONFIG_LOCK_STAT enabled
members).

Changing the emitter to always use the 4 byte displacement in the lea
instruction fixes the panic on my side. It increases the tail call instruction
emission by 3 more byte, but it should cover us from various combinations
(and perhaps other future increases on related structures).

After patch, disassembly:

  [...]
  9e:   lea    0x80(%rsi,%rdx,8),%rax   &lt;--- CONFIG_LOCKDEP/CONFIG_LOCK_STAT
        48 8d 84 d6 80 00 00 00
  a6:   mov    (%rax),%rax
        48 8b 00
  [...]

  [...]
  9e:   lea    0x50(%rsi,%rdx,8),%rax   &lt;--- No CONFIG_LOCKDEP
        48 8d 84 d6 50 00 00 00
  a6:   mov    (%rax),%rax
        48 8b 00
  [...]

  c88:  lea     0x80(%rax,%rdx,8),%rax  &lt;--- prog = array-&gt;prog[index]
        48 8d 84 d0 80 00 00 00
  c90:  add     $0x1,%r13d
        41 83 c5 01
  c94:  mov     (%rax),%rax
        48 8b 00
  [...]

Now the other interesting fact is that this panic triggers only when things
like CONFIG_LOCKDEP are being used. In that case offsetof(struct bpf_array,
prog) starts at offset 0x80 and in non-CONFIG_LOCKDEP case at offset 0x50.
Reason is that the work_struct inside struct bpf_map grows by 48 bytes in my
case due to the lockdep_map member (which also has CONFIG_LOCK_STAT enabled
members).

Changing the emitter to always use the 4 byte displacement in the lea
instruction fixes the panic on my side. It increases the tail call instruction
emission by 3 more byte, but it should cover us from various combinations
(and perhaps other future increases on related structures).

After patch, disassembly:

  [...]
  9e:   lea    0x80(%rsi,%rdx,8),%rax   &lt;--- CONFIG_LOCKDEP/CONFIG_LOCK_STAT
        48 8d 84 d6 80 00 00 00
  a6:   mov    (%rax),%rax
        48 8b 00
  [...]

  [...]
  9e:   lea    0x50(%rsi,%rdx,8),%rax   &lt;--- No CONFIG_LOCKDEP
        48 8d 84 d6 50 00 00 00
  a6:   mov    (%rax),%rax
        48 8b 00
  [...]

<title>x86/debug: Remove perpetually broken, unmaintainable dwarf annotations</title>

<id>131484c8da97ed600c18dd9d03b661e8ae052df6</id>
<content type='text'>
So the dwarf2 annotations in low level assembly code have
become an increasing hindrance: unreadable, messy macros
mixed into some of the most security sensitive code paths
of the Linux kernel.

These debug info annotations don't even buy the upstream
kernel anything: dwarf driven stack unwinding has caused
problems in the past so it's out of tree, and the upstream
kernel only uses the much more robust framepointers based
stack unwinding method.

In addition to that there's a steady, slow bitrot going
on with these annotations, requiring frequent fixups.
There's no tooling and no functionality upstream that
keeps it correct.

So burn down the sick forest, allowing new, healthier growth:

   27 files changed, 350 insertions(+), 1101 deletions(-)

Someone who has the willingness and time to do this
properly can attempt to reintroduce dwarf debuginfo in x86
assembly code plus dwarf unwinding from first principles,
with the following conditions:

 - it should be maximally readable, and maximally low-key to
   'ordinary' code reading and maintenance.

 - find a build time method to insert dwarf annotations
   automatically in the most common cases, for pop/push
   instructions that manipulate the stack pointer. This could
   be done for example via a preprocessing step that just
   looks for common patterns - plus special annotations for
   the few cases where we want to depart from the default.
   We have hundreds of CFI annotations, so automating most of
   that makes sense.

 - it should come with build tooling checks that ensure that
   CFI annotations are sensible. We've seen such efforts from
   the framepointer side, and there's no reason it couldn't be
   done on the dwarf side.

x86 has variable length encoding. x86 JIT compiler is trying
to pick the shortest encoding for given bpf instruction.
While doing so the jump targets are changing, so JIT is doing
multiple passes over the program. Typical program needs 3 passes.
Some very short programs converge with 2 passes. Large programs
may need 4 or 5. But specially crafted bpf programs may hit the
pass limit and if the program converges on the last iteration
the JIT compiler will be producing an image full of 'int 3' insns.
Fix this corner case by doing final iteration over bpf program.

<title>x86: bpf_jit: implement bpf_tail_call() helper</title>

<id>b52f00e6a7154308a08d0a2edab621f277801a2c</id>
<content type='text'>
bpf_tail_call() arguments:
ctx - context pointer
jmp_table - one of BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY maps used as the jump table
index - index in the jump table

In this implementation x64 JIT bypasses stack unwind and jumps into the
callee program after prologue, so the callee program reuses the same stack.

The logic can be roughly expressed in C like:

u32 tail_call_cnt;

void *jumptable[2] = { &amp;&amp;label1, &amp;&amp;label2 };

int bpf_prog1(void *ctx)
{
label1:
    ...
}

int bpf_prog2(void *ctx)
{
label2:
    ...
}

int bpf_prog1(void *ctx)
{
    ...
    if (tail_call_cnt++ &lt; MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT)
        goto *jumptable[index]; ... and pass my 'ctx' to callee ...

    ... fall through if no entry in jumptable ...
}

Note that 'skip current program epilogue and next program prologue' is
an optimization. Other JITs don't have to do it the same way.
&gt;From safety point of view it's valid as well, since programs always
initialize the stack before use, so any residue in the stack left by
the current program is not going be read. The same verifier checks are
done for the calls from the kernel into all bpf programs.

}

Note that 'skip current program epilogue and next program prologue' is
an optimization. Other JITs don't have to do it the same way.
&gt;From safety point of view it's valid as well, since programs always
initialize the stack before use, so any residue in the stack left by
the current program is not going be read. The same verifier checks are
done for the calls from the kernel into all bpf programs.

FROM_BE16:
'ror %reg, 8' doesn't clear upper bits of the register,
so use additional 'movzwl' insn to zero extend 16 bits into 64

FROM_LE16:
should zero extend lower 16 bits into 64 bit

FROM_LE32:
should zero extend lower 32 bits into 64 bit

Fixes: 89aa075832b0 ("net: sock: allow eBPF programs to be attached to sockets")
