[ Upstream commit fd381ce60a2d79cc967506208085336d3d268ae0 ]

When there are concurrent uref release and bpf timer init operations,
the following sequence diagram is possible. It will break the guarantee
provided by bpf_timer: bpf_timer will still be alive after userspace
application releases or unpins the map. It also will lead to kmemleak
for old kernel version which doesn't release bpf_timer when map is
released.

bpf program X:

bpf_timer_init()
  lock timer-&gt;lock
    read timer-&gt;timer as NULL
    read map-&gt;usercnt != 0

                process Y:

                close(map_fd)
                  // put last uref
                  bpf_map_put_uref()
                    atomic_dec_and_test(map-&gt;usercnt)
                      array_map_free_timers()
                        bpf_timer_cancel_and_free()
                          // just return
                          read timer-&gt;timer is NULL

    t = bpf_map_kmalloc_node()
    timer-&gt;timer = t
  unlock timer-&gt;lock

Fix the problem by checking map-&gt;usercnt after timer-&gt;timer is assigned,
so when there are concurrent uref release and bpf timer init, either
bpf_timer_cancel_and_free() from uref release reads a no-NULL timer
or the newly-added atomic64_read() returns a zero usercnt.

Because atomic_dec_and_test(map-&gt;usercnt) and READ_ONCE(timer-&gt;timer)
in bpf_timer_cancel_and_free() are not protected by a lock, so add
a memory barrier to guarantee the order between map-&gt;usercnt and
timer-&gt;timer. Also use WRITE_ONCE(timer-&gt;timer, x) to match the lockless
read of timer-&gt;timer in bpf_timer_cancel_and_free().

[ Upstream commit 29a7e00ffadddd8d68eff311de1bf12ae10687bb ]

When employed within a sleepable program not under RCU protection, the
use of 'bpf_task_under_cgroup()' may trigger a warning in the kernel log,
particularly when CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is enabled:

  [ 1259.662357] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

  [...]
  [ 1259.662504]  &lt;/TASK&gt;

This issue can be reproduced by executing a straightforward program, as
demonstrated below:

SEC("lsm.s/bpf")
int BPF_PROG(lsm_run, int cmd, union bpf_attr *attr, unsigned int size)
{
        struct cgroup *cgrp = NULL;
        struct task_struct *task;
        int ret = 0;

        if (cmd != BPF_LINK_CREATE)
                return 0;

        // The cgroup2 should be mounted first
        cgrp = bpf_cgroup_from_id(1);
        if (!cgrp)
                goto out;
        task = bpf_get_current_task_btf();
        if (bpf_task_under_cgroup(task, cgrp))
                ret = -1;
        bpf_cgroup_release(cgrp);

out:
        return ret;
}

After running the program, if you subsequently execute another BPF program,
you will encounter the warning.

It's worth noting that task_under_cgroup_hierarchy() is also utilized by
bpf_current_task_under_cgroup(). However, bpf_current_task_under_cgroup()
doesn't exhibit this issue because it cannot be used in sleepable BPF
programs.

Commit 9e7a4d9831e8 ("bpf: Allow LSM programs to use bpf spin locks")
disabled bpf_spin_lock usage in sleepable progs, stating:

 Sleepable LSM programs can be preempted which means that allowng spin
 locks will need more work (disabling preemption and the verifier
 ensuring that no sleepable helpers are called when a spin lock is
 held).

This patch disables preemption before grabbing bpf_spin_lock. The second
requirement above "no sleepable helpers are called when a spin lock is
held" is implicitly enforced by current verifier logic due to helper
calls in spin_lock CS being disabled except for a few exceptions, none
of which sleep.

Due to above preemption changes, bpf_spin_lock CS can also be considered
a RCU CS, so verifier's in_rcu_cs check is modified to account for this.

This is the final fix for the use-after-free scenario described in
commit 7793fc3babe9 ("bpf: Make bpf_refcount_acquire fallible for
non-owning refs"). That commit, by virtue of changing
bpf_refcount_acquire's refcount_inc to a refcount_inc_not_zero, fixed
the "refcount incr on 0" splat. The not_zero check in
refcount_inc_not_zero, though, still occurs on memory that could have
been free'd and reused, so the commit didn't properly fix the root
cause.

This patch actually fixes the issue by free'ing using the recently-added
bpf_mem_free_rcu, which ensures that the memory is not reused until
RCU grace period has elapsed. If that has happened then
there are no non-owning references alive that point to the
recently-free'd memory, so it can be safely reused.

Verify if the pointer obtained from bpf_xdp_pointer() is either an error or
NULL before returning it.

The function bpf_dynptr_slice() mistakenly returned an ERR_PTR. Instead of
solely checking for NULL, it should also verify if the pointer returned by
bpf_xdp_pointer() is an error or NULL.

Verify if the pointer obtained from bpf_xdp_pointer() is either an error or
NULL before returning it.

The function bpf_dynptr_slice() mistakenly returned an ERR_PTR. Instead of
solely checking for NULL, it should also verify if the pointer returned by
bpf_xdp_pointer() is an error or NULL.

Network drivers always call skb_header_pointer() with non-null buffer.
Remove !buffer check to prevent accidental misuse of skb_header_pointer().
Introduce skb_pointer_if_linear() instead.

<title>bpf: Add 'owner' field to bpf_{list,rb}_node</title>

As described by Kumar in [0], in shared ownership scenarios it is
necessary to do runtime tracking of {rb,list} node ownership - and
synchronize updates using this ownership information - in order to
prevent races. This patch adds an 'owner' field to struct bpf_list_node
and bpf_rb_node to implement such runtime tracking.

The owner field is a void * that describes the ownership state of a
node. It can have the following values:

  NULL           - the node is not owned by any data structure
  BPF_PTR_POISON - the node is in the process of being added to a data
                   structure
  ptr_to_root    - the pointee is a data structure 'root'
                   (bpf_rb_root / bpf_list_head) which owns this node

The field is initially NULL (set by bpf_obj_init_field default behavior)
and transitions states in the following sequence:

  Insertion: NULL -&gt; BPF_PTR_POISON -&gt; ptr_to_root
  Removal:   ptr_to_root -&gt; NULL

Before a node has been successfully inserted, it is not protected by any
root's lock, and therefore two programs can attempt to add the same node
to different roots simultaneously. For this reason the intermediate
BPF_PTR_POISON state is necessary. For removal, the node is protected
by some root's lock so this intermediate hop isn't necessary.

Note that bpf_list_pop_{front,back} helpers don't need to check owner
before removing as the node-to-be-removed is not passed in as input and
is instead taken directly from the list. Do the check anyways and
WARN_ON_ONCE in this unexpected scenario.

Selftest changes in this patch are entirely mechanical: some BTF
tests have hardcoded struct sizes for structs that contain
bpf_{list,rb}_node fields, those were adjusted to account for the new
sizes. Selftest additions to validate the owner field are added in a
further patch in the series.

<title>bpf: Introduce internal definitions for UAPI-opaque bpf_{rb,list}_node</title>

Structs bpf_rb_node and bpf_list_node are opaquely defined in
uapi/linux/bpf.h, as BPF program writers are not expected to touch their
fields - nor does the verifier allow them to do so.

Currently these structs are simple wrappers around structs rb_node and
list_head and linked_list / rbtree implementation just casts and passes
to library functions for those data structures. Later patches in this
series, though, will add an "owner" field to bpf_{rb,list}_node, such
that they're not just wrapping an underlying node type. Moreover, the
bpf linked_list and rbtree implementations will deal with these owner
pointers directly in a few different places.

To avoid having to do

  void *owner = (void*)bpf_list_node + sizeof(struct list_head)

with opaque UAPI node types, add bpf_{list,rb}_node_kern struct
definitions to internal headers and modify linked_list and rbtree to use
the internal types where appropriate.

<title>bpf: Make bpf_refcount_acquire fallible for non-owning refs</title>

<id>7793fc3babe9fea908e57f7c187ea819f9fd7e95</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch fixes an incorrect assumption made in the original
bpf_refcount series [0], specifically that the BPF program calling
bpf_refcount_acquire on some node can always guarantee that the node is
alive. In that series, the patch adding failure behavior to rbtree_add
and list_push_{front, back} breaks this assumption for non-owning
references.

Consider the following program:

  n = bpf_kptr_xchg(&amp;mapval, NULL);
  /* skip error checking */

  bpf_spin_lock(&amp;l);
  if(bpf_rbtree_add(&amp;t, &amp;n-&gt;rb, less)) {
    bpf_refcount_acquire(n);
    /* Failed to add, do something else with the node */
  }
  bpf_spin_unlock(&amp;l);

It's incorrect to assume that bpf_refcount_acquire will always succeed in this
scenario. bpf_refcount_acquire is being called in a critical section
here, but the lock being held is associated with rbtree t, which isn't
necessarily the lock associated with the tree that the node is already
in. So after bpf_rbtree_add fails to add the node and calls bpf_obj_drop
in it, the program has no ownership of the node's lifetime. Therefore
the node's refcount can be decr'd to 0 at any time after the failing
rbtree_add. If this happens before the refcount_acquire above, the node
might be free'd, and regardless refcount_acquire will be incrementing a
0 refcount.

Later patches in the series exercise this scenario, resulting in the
expected complaint from the kernel (without this patch's changes):

  refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

bpf_refcount_acquire KF_RET_NULL.

For owning references, though, we know the above scenario is not possible
and thus that bpf_refcount_acquire will always succeed. Some verifier
bookkeeping is added to track "is input owning ref?" for bpf_refcount_acquire
calls and return false from is_kfunc_ret_null for bpf_refcount_acquire on
owning refs despite it being marked KF_RET_NULL.

Existing selftests using bpf_refcount_acquire are modified where
necessary to NULL-check its return value.

Given the pointer to struct bpf_{rb,list}_node within a local kptr and
the byte offset of that field within the kptr struct, the calculation changed
by this patch is meant to find the beginning of the kptr so that it can
be passed to bpf_obj_drop.

Unfortunately instead of doing

  ptr_to_kptr = ptr_to_node_field - offset_bytes

the calculation is erroneously doing

  ptr_to_ktpr = ptr_to_node_field - (offset_bytes * sizeof(struct bpf_rb_node))

or the bpf_list_node equivalent.

This patch fixes the calculation.

Fixes: d2dcc67df910 ("bpf: Migrate bpf_rbtree_add and bpf_list_push_{front,back} to possibly fail")
