bpf: Fix oob access in cgroup local storage

2025-09-09T16:58:01+00:00

[ 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->bpf_ctx, struct bpf_cg_run_ctx, run_ctx);
  storage = ctx->prog_item->cgroup_storage[stype];

  if (stype == BPF_CGROUP_STORAGE_SHARED)
    ptr = &READ_ONCE(storage->buf)->data[0];
  else
    ptr = this_cpu_ptr(storage->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.

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.

bpf: check changes_pkt_data property for extension programs

2025-04-25T08:48:07+00:00

commit 81f6d0530ba031b5f038a091619bf2ff29568852 upstream.

When processing calls to global sub-programs, verifier decides whether
to invalidate all packet pointers in current state depending on the
changes_pkt_data property of the global sub-program.

Because of this, an extension program replacing a global sub-program
must be compatible with changes_pkt_data property of the sub-program
being replaced.

This commit:
- adds changes_pkt_data flag to struct bpf_prog_aux:
  - this flag is set in check_cfg() for main sub-program;
  - in jit_subprogs() for other sub-programs;
- modifies bpf_check_attach_btf_id() to check changes_pkt_data flag;
- moves call to check_attach_btf_id() after the call to check_cfg(),
  because it needs changes_pkt_data flag to be set:

    bpf_check:
      ...                             ...
    - check_attach_btf_id             resolve_pseudo_ldimm64
      resolve_pseudo_ldimm64   -->    bpf_prog_is_offloaded
      bpf_prog_is_offloaded           check_cfg
      check_cfg                     + check_attach_btf_id
      ...                             ...

The following fields are set by check_attach_btf_id():
- env->ops
- prog->aux->attach_btf_trace
- prog->aux->attach_func_name
- prog->aux->attach_func_proto
- prog->aux->dst_trampoline
- prog->aux->mod
- prog->aux->saved_dst_attach_type
- prog->aux->saved_dst_prog_type
- prog->expected_attach_type

Neither of these fields are used by resolve_pseudo_ldimm64() or
bpf_prog_offload_verifier_prep() (for netronome and netdevsim
drivers), so the reordering is safe.

bpf: Fix theoretical prog_array UAF in __uprobe_perf_func()

2024-12-19T17:13:09+00:00

commit 7d0d673627e20cfa3b21a829a896ce03b58a4f1c upstream.

Currently, the pointer stored in call->prog_array is loaded in
__uprobe_perf_func(), with no RCU annotation and no immediately visible
RCU protection, so it looks as if the loaded pointer can immediately be
dangling.
Later, bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe() starts a RCU-trace read-side critical
section, but this is too late. It then uses rcu_dereference_check(), but
this use of rcu_dereference_check() does not actually dereference anything.

Fix it by aligning the semantics to bpf_prog_run_array(): Let the caller
provide rcu_read_lock_trace() protection and then load call->prog_array
with rcu_dereference_check().

This issue seems to be theoretical: I don't know of any way to reach this
code without having handle_swbp() further up the stack, which is already
holding a rcu_read_lock_trace() lock, so where we take
rcu_read_lock_trace() in __uprobe_perf_func()/bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe()
doesn't actually have any effect.

bpf: Revert "bpf: Mark raw_tp arguments with PTR_MAYBE_NULL"

2024-12-19T17:13:03+00:00

commit c00d738e1673ab801e1577e4e3c780ccf88b1a5b upstream.

This patch reverts commit
cb4158ce8ec8 ("bpf: Mark raw_tp arguments with PTR_MAYBE_NULL"). The
patch was well-intended and meant to be as a stop-gap fixing branch
prediction when the pointer may actually be NULL at runtime. Eventually,
it was supposed to be replaced by an automated script or compiler pass
detecting possibly NULL arguments and marking them accordingly.

However, it caused two main issues observed for production programs and
failed to preserve backwards compatibility. First, programs relied on
the verifier not exploring == NULL branch when pointer is not NULL, thus
they started failing with a 'dereference of scalar' error.  Next,
allowing raw_tp arguments to be modified surfaced the warning in the
verifier that warns against reg->off when PTR_MAYBE_NULL is set.

More information, context, and discusson on both problems is available
in [0]. Overall, this approach had several shortcomings, and the fixes
would further complicate the verifier's logic, and the entire masking
scheme would have to be removed eventually anyway.

Hence, revert the patch in preparation of a better fix avoiding these
issues to replace this commit.

bpf: Prevent tailcall infinite loop caused by freplace

2024-12-14T19:03:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit d6083f040d5d8f8d748462c77e90547097df936e ]

There is a potential infinite loop issue that can occur when using a
combination of tail calls and freplace.

In an upcoming selftest, the attach target for entry_freplace of
tailcall_freplace.c is subprog_tc of tc_bpf2bpf.c, while the tail call in
entry_freplace leads to entry_tc. This results in an infinite loop:

entry_tc -> subprog_tc -> entry_freplace --tailcall-> entry_tc.

The problem arises because the tail_call_cnt in entry_freplace resets to
zero each time entry_freplace is executed, causing the tail call mechanism
to never terminate, eventually leading to a kernel panic.

To fix this issue, the solution is twofold:

1. Prevent updating a program extended by an freplace program to a
   prog_array map.
2. Prevent extending a program that is already part of a prog_array map
   with an freplace program.

This ensures that:

* If a program or its subprogram has been extended by an freplace program,
  it can no longer be updated to a prog_array map.
* If a program has been added to a prog_array map, neither it nor its
  subprograms can be extended by an freplace program.

Moreover, an extension program should not be tailcalled. As such, return
-EINVAL if the program has a type of BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT when adding it to a
prog_array map.

Additionally, fix a minor code style issue by replacing eight spaces with a
tab for proper formatting.

bpf: Add kernel symbol for struct_ops trampoline

2024-12-05T13:01:57+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7c8ce4ffb684676039b1ff9ff81c126794e8d88e ]

Without kernel symbols for struct_ops trampoline, the unwinder may
produce unexpected stacktraces.

For example, the x86 ORC and FP unwinders check if an IP is in kernel
text by verifying the presence of the IP's kernel symbol. When a
struct_ops trampoline address is encountered, the unwinder stops due
to the absence of symbol, resulting in an incomplete stacktrace that
consists only of direct and indirect child functions called from the
trampoline.

The arm64 unwinder is another example. While the arm64 unwinder can
proceed across a struct_ops trampoline address, the corresponding
symbol name is displayed as "unknown", which is confusing.

Thus, add kernel symbol for struct_ops trampoline. The name is
bpf___, where  is the
type name of the struct_ops, and  is the name of
the member that the trampoline is linked to.

Below is a comparison of stacktraces captured on x86 by perf record,

bpf: Mark raw_tp arguments with PTR_MAYBE_NULL

2024-12-05T13:01:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit cb4158ce8ec8a5bb528cc1693356a5eb8058094d ]

Arguments to a raw tracepoint are tagged as trusted, which carries the
semantics that the pointer will be non-NULL. However, in certain cases,
a raw tracepoint argument may end up being NULL. More context about this
issue is available in [0].

Thus, there is a discrepancy between the reality, that raw_tp arguments
can actually be NULL, and the verifier's knowledge, that they are never
NULL, causing explicit NULL checks to be deleted, and accesses to such
pointers potentially crashing the kernel.

To fix this, mark raw_tp arguments as PTR_MAYBE_NULL, and then special
case the dereference and pointer arithmetic to permit it, and allow
passing them into helpers/kfuncs; these exceptions are made for raw_tp
programs only. Ensure that we don't do this when ref_obj_id > 0, as in
that case this is an acquired object and doesn't need such adjustment.

The reason we do mask_raw_tp_trusted_reg logic is because other will
recheck in places whether the register is a trusted_reg, and then
consider our register as untrusted when detecting the presence of the
PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag.

To allow safe dereference, we enable PROBE_MEM marking when we see loads
into trusted pointers with PTR_MAYBE_NULL.

While trusted raw_tp arguments can also be passed into helpers or kfuncs
where such broken assumption may cause issues, a future patch set will
tackle their case separately, as PTR_TO_BTF_ID (without PTR_TRUSTED) can
already be passed into helpers and causes similar problems. Thus, they
are left alone for now.

It is possible that these checks also permit passing non-raw_tp args
that are trusted PTR_TO_BTF_ID with null marking. In such a case,
allowing dereference when pointer is NULL expands allowed behavior, so
won't regress existing programs, and the case of passing these into
helpers is the same as above and will be dealt with later.

Also update the failure case in tp_btf_nullable selftest to capture the
new behavior, as the verifier will no longer cause an error when
directly dereference a raw tracepoint argument marked as __nullable.
