[ Upstream commit abad3d0bad72a52137e0c350c59542d75ae4f513 ]

Lonial reported that an out-of-bounds access in cgroup local storage
can be crafted via tail calls. Given two programs each utilizing a
cgroup local storage with a different value size, and one program
doing a tail call into the other. The verifier will validate each of
the indivial programs just fine. However, in the runtime context
the bpf_cg_run_ctx holds an bpf_prog_array_item which contains the
BPF program as well as any cgroup local storage flavor the program
uses. Helpers such as bpf_get_local_storage() pick this up from the
runtime context:

  ctx = container_of(current-&gt;bpf_ctx, struct bpf_cg_run_ctx, run_ctx);
  storage = ctx-&gt;prog_item-&gt;cgroup_storage[stype];

  if (stype == BPF_CGROUP_STORAGE_SHARED)
    ptr = &amp;READ_ONCE(storage-&gt;buf)-&gt;data[0];
  else
    ptr = this_cpu_ptr(storage-&gt;percpu_buf);

For the second program which was called from the originally attached
one, this means bpf_get_local_storage() will pick up the former
program's map, not its own. With mismatching sizes, this can result
in an unintended out-of-bounds access.

To fix this issue, we need to extend bpf_map_owner with an array of
storage_cookie[] to match on i) the exact maps from the original
program if the second program was using bpf_get_local_storage(), or
ii) allow the tail call combination if the second program was not
using any of the cgroup local storage maps.

[ Upstream commit fd1c98f0ef5cbcec842209776505d9e70d8fcd53 ]

Given this is only relevant for BPF tail call maps, it is adding up space
and penalizing other map types. We also need to extend this with further
objects to track / compare to. Therefore, lets move this out into a separate
structure and dynamically allocate it only for BPF tail call maps.

<title>bpf: Prevent tail call between progs attached to different hooks</title>

commit 28ead3eaabc16ecc907cfb71876da028080f6356 upstream.

bpf progs can be attached to kernel functions, and the attached functions
can take different parameters or return different return values. If
prog attached to one kernel function tail calls prog attached to another
kernel function, the ctx access or return value verification could be
bypassed.

For example, if prog1 is attached to func1 which takes only 1 parameter
and prog2 is attached to func2 which takes two parameters. Since verifier
assumes the bpf ctx passed to prog2 is constructed based on func2's
prototype, verifier allows prog2 to access the second parameter from
the bpf ctx passed to it. The problem is that verifier does not prevent
prog1 from passing its bpf ctx to prog2 via tail call. In this case,
the bpf ctx passed to prog2 is constructed from func1 instead of func2,
that is, the assumption for ctx access verification is bypassed.

Another example, if BPF LSM prog1 is attached to hook file_alloc_security,
and BPF LSM prog2 is attached to hook bpf_lsm_audit_rule_known. Verifier
knows the return value rules for these two hooks, e.g. it is legal for
bpf_lsm_audit_rule_known to return positive number 1, and it is illegal
for file_alloc_security to return positive number. So verifier allows
prog2 to return positive number 1, but does not allow prog1 to return
positive number. The problem is that verifier does not prevent prog1
from calling prog2 via tail call. In this case, prog2's return value 1
will be used as the return value for prog1's hook file_alloc_security.
That is, the return value rule is bypassed.

This patch adds restriction for tail call to prevent such bypasses.

commit 6fad274f06f038c29660aa53fbad14241c9fd976 upstream.

Add a MEM_WRITE attribute for BPF helper functions which can be used in
bpf_func_proto to annotate an argument type in order to let the verifier
know that the helper writes into the memory passed as an argument. In
the past MEM_UNINIT has been (ab)used for this function, but the latter
merely tells the verifier that the passed memory can be uninitialized.

There have been bugs with overloading the latter but aside from that
there are also cases where the passed memory is read + written which
currently cannot be expressed, see also 4b3786a6c539 ("bpf: Zero former
ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} args in case of error").

commit 32556ce93bc45c730829083cb60f95a2728ea48b upstream.

Lonial found an issue that despite user- and BPF-side frozen BPF map
(like in case of .rodata), it was still possible to write into it from
a BPF program side through specific helpers having ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT}
as arguments.

In check_func_arg() when the argument is as mentioned, the meta-&gt;raw_mode
is never set. Later, check_helper_mem_access(), under the case of
PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE as register base type, it assumes BPF_READ for the
subsequent call to check_map_access_type() and given the BPF map is
read-only it succeeds.

The helpers really need to be annotated as ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} | MEM_UNINIT
when results are written into them as opposed to read out of them. The
latter indicates that it's okay to pass a pointer to uninitialized memory
as the memory is written to anyway.

However, ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} is a special case of ARG_PTR_TO_FIXED_SIZE_MEM
just with additional alignment requirement. So it is better to just get
rid of the ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} special cases altogether and reuse the
fixed size memory types. For this, add MEM_ALIGNED to additionally ensure
alignment given these helpers write directly into the args via *&lt;ptr&gt; = val.
The .arg*_size has been initialized reflecting the actual sizeof(*&lt;ptr&gt;).

MEM_ALIGNED can only be used in combination with MEM_FIXED_SIZE annotated
argument types, since in !MEM_FIXED_SIZE cases the verifier does not know
the buffer size a priori and therefore cannot blindly write *&lt;ptr&gt; = val.

[ Upstream commit ddef81b5fd1da4d7c3cc8785d2043b73b72f38ef ]

Introduce new helper bpf_map_kvcalloc() for the memory allocation in
bpf_local_storage(). Then the allocation will charge the memory from the
map instead of from current, though currently they are the same thing as
it is only used in map creation path now. By charging map's memory into
the memcg from the map, it will be more clear.

<title>bpf: Remove trace_printk_lock</title>

commit e2bb9e01d589f7fa82573aedd2765ff9b277816a upstream.

Both bpf_trace_printk and bpf_trace_vprintk helpers use static buffer guarded
with trace_printk_lock spin lock.

The spin lock contention causes issues with bpf programs attached to
contention_begin tracepoint [1][2].

Andrii suggested we could get rid of the contention by using trylock, but we
could actually get rid of the spinlock completely by using percpu buffers the
same way as for bin_args in bpf_bprintf_prepare function.

Adding new return 'buf' argument to struct bpf_bprintf_data and making
bpf_bprintf_prepare to return also the buffer for printk helpers.

<title>bpf: Do cleanup in bpf_bprintf_cleanup only when needed</title>

commit f19a4050455aad847fb93f18dc1fe502eb60f989 upstream.

Currently we always cleanup/decrement bpf_bprintf_nest_level variable
in bpf_bprintf_cleanup if it's &gt; 0.

There's possible scenario where this could cause a problem, when
bpf_bprintf_prepare does not get bin_args buffer (because num_args is 0)
and following bpf_bprintf_cleanup call decrements bpf_bprintf_nest_level
variable, like:

  in task context:
    bpf_bprintf_prepare(num_args != 0) increments 'bpf_bprintf_nest_level = 1'
    -&gt; first irq :
       bpf_bprintf_prepare(num_args == 0)
       bpf_bprintf_cleanup decrements 'bpf_bprintf_nest_level = 0'
    -&gt; second irq:
       bpf_bprintf_prepare(num_args != 0) bpf_bprintf_nest_level = 1
       gets same buffer as task context above

Adding check to bpf_bprintf_cleanup and doing the real cleanup only if we
got bin_args data in the first place.
