commit 801c6058d14a82179a7ee17a4b532cac6fad067f upstream.

The current implemented mechanisms to mitigate data disclosure under
speculation mainly address stack and map value oob access from the
speculative domain. However, Piotr discovered that uninitialized BPF
stack is not protected yet, and thus old data from the kernel stack,
potentially including addresses of kernel structures, could still be
extracted from that 512 bytes large window. The BPF stack is special
compared to map values since it's not zero initialized for every
program invocation, whereas map values /are/ zero initialized upon
their initial allocation and thus cannot leak any prior data in either
domain. In the non-speculative domain, the verifier ensures that every
stack slot read must have a prior stack slot write by the BPF program
to avoid such data leaking issue.

However, this is not enough: for example, when the pointer arithmetic
operation moves the stack pointer from the last valid stack offset to
the first valid offset, the sanitation logic allows for any intermediate
offsets during speculative execution, which could then be used to
extract any restricted stack content via side-channel.

Given for unprivileged stack pointer arithmetic the use of unknown
but bounded scalars is generally forbidden, we can simply turn the
register-based arithmetic operation into an immediate-based arithmetic
operation without the need for masking. This also gives the benefit
of reducing the needed instructions for the operation. Given after
the work in 7fedb63a8307 ("bpf: Tighten speculative pointer arithmetic
mask"), the aux->alu_limit already holds the final immediate value for
the offset register with the known scalar. Thus, a simple mov of the
immediate to AX register with using AX as the source for the original
instruction is sufficient and possible now in this case.

bpf: Support pointers in global func args 2021-02-13T01:37:23+00:00 Dmitrii Banshchikov me@ubique.spb.ru 2021-02-12T20:56:41+00:00 e5069b9c23b3857db986c58801bebe450cff3392 Add an ability to pass a pointer to a type with known size in arguments of a global function.

A caller passes pointer to its stack memory. Because the callee can change referenced memory verifier cannot longer assume any particular slot type of the caller's stack memory hence the slot type is changed to SLOT_MISC. If there is an operation that relies on slot type other than SLOT_MISC then verifier won't be able to infer safety of the operation. When verifier sees a static function that has a pointer argument different from PTR_TO_CTX then it skips arguments check and continues with "inline" validation with more information available.

Before this patch, variable offset access to the stack was dissalowed
for regular instructions, but was allowed for "indirect" accesses (i.e.
helpers). This patch removes the restriction, allowing reading and
writing to the stack through stack pointers with variable offsets. This
makes stack-allocated buffers more usable in programs, and brings stack
pointers closer to other types of pointers.

The motivation is being able to use stack-allocated buffers for data
manipulation. When the stack size limit is sufficient, allocating
buffers on the stack is simpler than per-cpu arrays, or other
alternatives.

In unpriviledged programs, 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.
Additionally, when writing through a variable-offset stack pointer, if
any pointers are in the accessible range, there's possilibities of later
leaking pointers because the write cannot be tracked precisely.

Writes with variable offset mark the whole range as initialized, even
though we don't know which stack slots are actually written. This is in
order to not reject future reads to these slots. Note that this doesn't
affect writes done through helpers; like before, helpers need the whole
stack range to be initialized to begin with.
All the stack slots are in range are considered scalars after the write;
variable-offset register spills are not tracked.

For reads, all the stack slots in the variable range needs to be
initialized (but see above about what writes do), otherwise the read is
rejected. All register spilled in stack slots that might be read are
marked as having been read, however reads through such pointers don't do
register filling; the target register will always be either a scalar or
a constant zero.

During BPF program load time, verifier will resolve FD to BTF object and will take reference on BTF object itself and, for module BTFs, corresponding module as well, to make sure it won't be unloaded from under running BPF program. The mechanism used is similar to how bpf_prog keeps track of used bpf_maps. One interesting change is also in how per-CPU variable is determined. The logic is to find .data..percpu data section in provided BTF, but both vmlinux and module each have their own .data..percpu entries in BTF. So for module's case, the search for DATASEC record needs to look at only module's added BTF types. This is implemented with custom search function.

This allows to gradually add support for kernel module BTFs and using/tracking module types across BPF helper calls and registers. This patch also renames btf_id() function to btf_obj_id() to minimize naming clash with using btf_id to denote BTF *type* ID, rather than BTF *object*'s ID. Also, altough btf_vmlinux can't get destructed and thus doesn't need refcounting, module BTFs need that, so apply BTF refcounting universally when BPF program is using BTF-powered attachment (tp_btf, fentry/fexit, etc). This makes for simpler clean up code. Now that BTF type ID is not enough to uniquely identify a BTF type, extend BPF trampoline key to include BTF object ID. To differentiate that from target program BPF ID, set 31st bit of type ID. BTF type IDs (at least currently) are not allowed to take full 32 bits, so there is no danger of confusing that bit with a valid BTF type ID.

LD_[ABS|IND] instructions may return from the function early. bpf_tail_call
pseudo instruction is either fallthrough or return. Allow them in the
subprograms only when subprograms are BTF annotated and have scalar return
types. Allow ld_abs and tail_call in the main program even if it calls into
subprograms. In the past that was not ok to do for ld_abs, since it was JITed
with special exit sequence. Since bpf_gen_ld_abs() was introduced the ld_abs
looks like normal exit insn from JIT point of view, so it's safe to allow them
in the main program.
