While reviewing the verifier code, I recently noticed that the
following two program variants in relation to tail calls can be
loaded.

Variant 1:

  # bpftool p d x i 15
    0: (15) if r1 == 0x0 goto pc+3
    1: (18) r2 = map[id:5]
    3: (05) goto pc+2
    4: (18) r2 = map[id:6]
    6: (b7) r3 = 7
    7: (35) if r3 &gt;= 0xa0 goto pc+2
    8: (54) (u32) r3 &amp;= (u32) 255
    9: (85) call bpf_tail_call#12
   10: (b7) r0 = 1
   11: (95) exit

  # bpftool m s i 5
    5: prog_array  flags 0x0
        key 4B  value 4B  max_entries 4  memlock 4096B
  # bpftool m s i 6
    6: prog_array  flags 0x0
        key 4B  value 4B  max_entries 160  memlock 4096B

Variant 2:

  # bpftool p d x i 20
    0: (15) if r1 == 0x0 goto pc+3
    1: (18) r2 = map[id:8]
    3: (05) goto pc+2
    4: (18) r2 = map[id:7]
    6: (b7) r3 = 7
    7: (35) if r3 &gt;= 0x4 goto pc+2
    8: (54) (u32) r3 &amp;= (u32) 3
    9: (85) call bpf_tail_call#12
   10: (b7) r0 = 1
   11: (95) exit

  # bpftool m s i 8
    8: prog_array  flags 0x0
        key 4B  value 4B  max_entries 160  memlock 4096B
  # bpftool m s i 7
    7: prog_array  flags 0x0
        key 4B  value 4B  max_entries 4  memlock 4096B

In both cases the index masking inserted by the verifier in order
to control out of bounds speculation from a CPU via b2157399cc98
("bpf: prevent out-of-bounds speculation") seems to be incorrect
in what it is enforcing. In the 1st variant, the mask is applied
from the map with the significantly larger number of entries where
we would allow to a certain degree out of bounds speculation for
the smaller map, and in the 2nd variant where the mask is applied
from the map with the smaller number of entries, we get buggy
behavior since we truncate the index of the larger map.

The original intent from commit b2157399cc98 is to reject such
occasions where two or more different tail call maps are used
in the same tail call helper invocation. However, the check on
the BPF_MAP_PTR_POISON is never hit since we never poisoned the
saved pointer in the first place! We do this explicitly for map
lookups but in case of tail calls we basically used the tail
call map in insn_aux_data that was processed in the most recent
path which the verifier walked. Thus any prior path that stored
a pointer in insn_aux_data at the helper location was always
overridden.

Fix it by moving the map pointer poison logic into a small helper
that covers both BPF helpers with the same logic. After that in
fixup_bpf_calls() the poison check is then hit for tail calls
and the program rejected. Latter only happens in unprivileged
case since this is the *only* occasion where a rewrite needs to
happen, and where such rewrite is specific to the map (max_entries,
index_mask). In the privileged case the rewrite is generic for
the insn-&gt;imm / insn-&gt;code update so multiple maps from different
paths can be handled just fine since all the remaining logic
happens in the instruction processing itself. This is similar
to the case of map lookups: in case there is a collision of
maps in fixup_bpf_calls() we must skip the inlined rewrite since
this will turn the generic instruction sequence into a non-
generic one. Thus the patch_call_imm will simply update the
insn-&gt;imm location where the bpf_map_lookup_elem() will later
take care of the dispatch. Given we need this 'poison' state
as a check, the information of whether a map is an unpriv_array
gets lost, so enforcing it prior to that needs an additional
state. In general this check is needed since there are some
complex and tail call intensive BPF programs out there where
LLVM tends to generate such code occasionally. We therefore
convert the map_ptr rather into map_state to store all this
w/o extra memory overhead, and the bit whether one of the maps
involved in the collision was from an unpriv_array thus needs
to be retained as well there.

Currently, verifier treat main prog and subprog differently. All subprogs
detected are kept in env-&gt;subprog_starts while main prog is not kept there.
Instead, main prog is implicitly defined as the prog start at 0.

There is actually no difference between main prog and subprog, it is better
to unify them, and register all progs detected into env-&gt;subprog_starts.

This could also help simplifying some code logic.

<title>bpf: Add bpf_verifier_vlog() and bpf_verifier_log_needed()</title>

The BTF (BPF Type Format) verifier needs to reuse the current
BPF verifier log.  Hence, it requires the following changes:

(1) Expose log_write() in verifier.c for other users.
    Its name is renamed to bpf_verifier_vlog().

(2) The BTF verifier also needs to check
'log-&gt;level &amp;&amp; log-&gt;ubuf &amp;&amp; !bpf_verifier_log_full(log);'
independently outside of the current log_write().  It is
because the BTF verifier will do one-check before
making multiple calls to btf_verifier_vlog to log
the details of a type.

Hence, this check is also re-factored to a new function
bpf_verifier_log_needed().  Since it is re-factored,
we can check it before va_start() in the current
bpf_verifier_log_write() and verbose().

<title>bpf: export function to write into verifier log buffer</title>

Rename the BPF verifier `verbose()` to `bpf_verifier_log_write()` and
export it, so that other components (in particular, drivers for BPF
offload) can reuse the user buffer log to dump error messages at
verification time.

Renaming `verbose()` was necessary in order to avoid a name so generic
to be exported to the global namespace. However to prevent too much pain
for backports, the calls to `verbose()` in the kernel BPF verifier were
not changed. Instead, use function aliasing to make `verbose` point to
`bpf_verifier_log_write`. Another solution could consist in making a
wrapper around `verbose()`, but since it is a variadic function, I don't
see a clean way without creating two identical wrappers, one for the
verifier and one to export.
