[ commit 979d63d50c0c0f7bc537bf821e056cc9fe5abd38 upstream ]

Jann reported that the original commit back in b2157399cc98
("bpf: prevent out-of-bounds speculation") was not sufficient
to stop CPU from speculating out of bounds memory access:
While b2157399cc98 only focussed on masking array map access
for unprivileged users for tail calls and data access such
that the user provided index gets sanitized from BPF program
and syscall side, there is still a more generic form affected
from BPF programs that applies to most maps that hold user
data in relation to dynamic map access when dealing with
unknown scalars or "slow" known scalars as access offset, for
example:

  - Load a map value pointer into R6
  - Load an index into R7
  - Do a slow computation (e.g. with a memory dependency) that
    loads a limit into R8 (e.g. load the limit from a map for
    high latency, then mask it to make the verifier happy)
  - Exit if R7 &gt;= R8 (mispredicted branch)
  - Load R0 = R6[R7]
  - Load R0 = R6[R0]

For unknown scalars there are two options in the BPF verifier
where we could derive knowledge from in order to guarantee
safe access to the memory: i) While &lt;/&gt;/&lt;=/&gt;= variants won't
allow to derive any lower or upper bounds from the unknown
scalar where it would be safe to add it to the map value
pointer, it is possible through ==/!= test however. ii) another
option is to transform the unknown scalar into a known scalar,
for example, through ALU ops combination such as R &amp;= &lt;imm&gt;
followed by R |= &lt;imm&gt; or any similar combination where the
original information from the unknown scalar would be destroyed
entirely leaving R with a constant. The initial slow load still
precedes the latter ALU ops on that register, so the CPU
executes speculatively from that point. Once we have the known
scalar, any compare operation would work then. A third option
only involving registers with known scalars could be crafted
as described in [0] where a CPU port (e.g. Slow Int unit)
would be filled with many dependent computations such that
the subsequent condition depending on its outcome has to wait
for evaluation on its execution port and thereby executing
speculatively if the speculated code can be scheduled on a
different execution port, or any other form of mistraining
as described in [1], for example. Given this is not limited
to only unknown scalars, not only map but also stack access
is affected since both is accessible for unprivileged users
and could potentially be used for out of bounds access under
speculation.

In order to prevent any of these cases, the verifier is now
sanitizing pointer arithmetic on the offset such that any
out of bounds speculation would be masked in a way where the
pointer arithmetic result in the destination register will
stay unchanged, meaning offset masked into zero similar as
in array_index_nospec() case. With regards to implementation,
there are three options that were considered: i) new insn
for sanitation, ii) push/pop insn and sanitation as inlined
BPF, iii) reuse of ax register and sanitation as inlined BPF.

Option i) has the downside that we end up using from reserved
bits in the opcode space, but also that we would require
each JIT to emit masking as native arch opcodes meaning
mitigation would have slow adoption till everyone implements
it eventually which is counter-productive. Option ii) and iii)
have both in common that a temporary register is needed in
order to implement the sanitation as inlined BPF since we
are not allowed to modify the source register. While a push /
pop insn in ii) would be useful to have in any case, it
requires once again that every JIT needs to implement it
first. While possible, amount of changes needed would also
be unsuitable for a -stable patch. Therefore, the path which
has fewer changes, less BPF instructions for the mitigation
and does not require anything to be changed in the JITs is
option iii) which this work is pursuing. The ax register is
already mapped to a register in all JITs (modulo arm32 where
it's mapped to stack as various other BPF registers there)
and used in constant blinding for JITs-only so far. It can
be reused for verifier rewrites under certain constraints.
The interpreter's tmp "register" has therefore been remapped
into extending the register set with hidden ax register and
reusing that for a number of instructions that needed the
prior temporary variable internally (e.g. div, mod). This
allows for zero increase in stack space usage in the interpreter,
and enables (restricted) generic use in rewrites otherwise as
long as such a patchlet does not make use of these instructions.
The sanitation mask is dynamic and relative to the offset the
map value or stack pointer currently holds.

There are various cases that need to be taken under consideration
for the masking, e.g. such operation could look as follows:
ptr += val or val += ptr or ptr -= val. Thus, the value to be
sanitized could reside either in source or in destination
register, and the limit is different depending on whether
the ALU op is addition or subtraction and depending on the
current known and bounded offset. The limit is derived as
follows: limit := max_value_size - (smin_value + off). For
subtraction: limit := umax_value + off. This holds because
we do not allow any pointer arithmetic that would
temporarily go out of bounds or would have an unknown
value with mixed signed bounds where it is unclear at
verification time whether the actual runtime value would
be either negative or positive. For example, we have a
derived map pointer value with constant offset and bounded
one, so limit based on smin_value works because the verifier
requires that statically analyzed arithmetic on the pointer
must be in bounds, and thus it checks if resulting
smin_value + off and umax_value + off is still within map
value bounds at time of arithmetic in addition to time of
access. Similarly, for the case of stack access we derive
the limit as follows: MAX_BPF_STACK + off for subtraction
and -off for the case of addition where off := ptr_reg-&gt;off +
ptr_reg-&gt;var_off.value. Subtraction is a special case for
the masking which can be in form of ptr += -val, ptr -= -val,
or ptr -= val. In the first two cases where we know that
the value is negative, we need to temporarily negate the
value in order to do the sanitation on a positive value
where we later swap the ALU op, and restore original source
register if the value was in source.

The sanitation of pointer arithmetic alone is still not fully
sufficient as is, since a scenario like the following could
happen ...

  PTR += 0x1000 (e.g. K-based imm)
  PTR -= BIG_NUMBER_WITH_SLOW_COMPARISON
  PTR += 0x1000
  PTR -= BIG_NUMBER_WITH_SLOW_COMPARISON
  [...]

... which under speculation could end up as ...

  PTR += 0x1000
  PTR -= 0 [ truncated by mitigation ]
  PTR += 0x1000
  PTR -= 0 [ truncated by mitigation ]
  [...]

... and therefore still access out of bounds. To prevent such
case, the verifier is also analyzing safety for potential out
of bounds access under speculative execution. Meaning, it is
also simulating pointer access under truncation. We therefore
"branch off" and push the current verification state after the
ALU operation with known 0 to the verification stack for later
analysis. Given the current path analysis succeeded it is
likely that the one under speculation can be pruned. In any
case, it is also subject to existing complexity limits and
therefore anything beyond this point will be rejected. In
terms of pruning, it needs to be ensured that the verification
state from speculative execution simulation must never prune
a non-speculative execution path, therefore, we mark verifier
state accordingly at the time of push_stack(). If verifier
detects out of bounds access under speculative execution from
one of the possible paths that includes a truncation, it will
reject such program.

Given we mask every reg-based pointer arithmetic for
unprivileged programs, we've been looking into how it could
affect real-world programs in terms of size increase. As the
majority of programs are targeted for privileged-only use
case, we've unconditionally enabled masking (with its alu
restrictions on top of it) for privileged programs for the
sake of testing in order to check i) whether they get rejected
in its current form, and ii) by how much the number of
instructions and size will increase. We've tested this by
using Katran, Cilium and test_l4lb from the kernel selftests.
For Katran we've evaluated balancer_kern.o, Cilium bpf_lxc.o
and an older test object bpf_lxc_opt_-DUNKNOWN.o and l4lb
we've used test_l4lb.o as well as test_l4lb_noinline.o. We
found that none of the programs got rejected by the verifier
with this change, and that impact is rather minimal to none.
balancer_kern.o had 13,904 bytes (1,738 insns) xlated and
7,797 bytes JITed before and after the change. Most complex
program in bpf_lxc.o had 30,544 bytes (3,817 insns) xlated
and 18,538 bytes JITed before and after and none of the other
tail call programs in bpf_lxc.o had any changes either. For
the older bpf_lxc_opt_-DUNKNOWN.o object we found a small
increase from 20,616 bytes (2,576 insns) and 12,536 bytes JITed
before to 20,664 bytes (2,582 insns) and 12,558 bytes JITed
after the change. Other programs from that object file had
similar small increase. Both test_l4lb.o had no change and
remained at 6,544 bytes (817 insns) xlated and 3,401 bytes
JITed and for test_l4lb_noinline.o constant at 5,080 bytes
(634 insns) xlated and 3,313 bytes JITed. This can be explained
in that LLVM typically optimizes stack based pointer arithmetic
by using K-based operations and that use of dynamic map access
is not overly frequent. However, in future we may decide to
optimize the algorithm further under known guarantees from
branch and value speculation. Latter seems also unclear in
terms of prediction heuristics that today's CPUs apply as well
as whether there could be collisions in e.g. the predictor's
Value History/Pattern Table for triggering out of bounds access,
thus masking is performed unconditionally at this point but could
be subject to relaxation later on. We were generally also
brainstorming various other approaches for mitigation, but the
blocker was always lack of available registers at runtime and/or
overhead for runtime tracking of limits belonging to a specific
pointer. Thus, we found this to be minimally intrusive under
given constraints.

With that in place, a simple example with sanitized access on
unprivileged load at post-verification time looks as follows:

  # bpftool prog dump xlated id 282
  [...]
  28: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r7 +0)
  29: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r7 +8)
  30: (57) r1 &amp;= 15
  31: (79) r3 = *(u64 *)(r0 +4608)
  32: (57) r3 &amp;= 1
  33: (47) r3 |= 1
  34: (2d) if r2 &gt; r3 goto pc+19
  35: (b4) (u32) r11 = (u32) 20479  |
  36: (1f) r11 -= r2                | Dynamic sanitation for pointer
  37: (4f) r11 |= r2                | arithmetic with registers
  38: (87) r11 = -r11               | containing bounded or known
  39: (c7) r11 s&gt;&gt;= 63              | scalars in order to prevent
  40: (5f) r11 &amp;= r2                | out of bounds speculation.
  41: (0f) r4 += r11                |
  42: (71) r4 = *(u8 *)(r4 +0)
  43: (6f) r4 &lt;&lt;= r1
  [...]

For the case where the scalar sits in the destination register
as opposed to the source register, the following code is emitted
for the above example:

  [...]
  16: (b4) (u32) r11 = (u32) 20479
  17: (1f) r11 -= r2
  18: (4f) r11 |= r2
  19: (87) r11 = -r11
  20: (c7) r11 s&gt;&gt;= 63
  21: (5f) r2 &amp;= r11
  22: (0f) r2 += r0
  23: (61) r0 = *(u32 *)(r2 +0)
  [...]

JIT blinding example with non-conflicting use of r10:

  [...]
   d5:	je     0x0000000000000106    _
   d7:	mov    0x0(%rax),%edi       |
   da:	mov    $0xf153246,%r10d     | Index load from map value and
   e0:	xor    $0xf153259,%r10      | (const blinded) mask with 0x1f.
   e7:	and    %r10,%rdi            |_
   ea:	mov    $0x2f,%r10d          |
   f0:	sub    %rdi,%r10            | Sanitized addition. Both use r10
   f3:	or     %rdi,%r10            | but do not interfere with each
   f6:	neg    %r10                 | other. (Neither do these instructions
   f9:	sar    $0x3f,%r10           | interfere with the use of ax as temp
   fd:	and    %r10,%rdi            | in interpreter.)
  100:	add    %rax,%rdi            |_
  103:	mov    0x0(%rdi),%eax
 [...]

Tested that it fixes Jann's reproducer, and also checked that test_verifier
and test_progs suite with interpreter, JIT and JIT with hardening enabled
on x86-64 and arm64 runs successfully.

before to 20,664 bytes (2,582 insns) and 12,558 bytes JITed
after the change. Other programs from that object file had
similar small increase. Both test_l4lb.o had no change and
remained at 6,544 bytes (817 insns) xlated and 3,401 bytes
JITed and for test_l4lb_noinline.o constant at 5,080 bytes
(634 insns) xlated and 3,313 bytes JITed. This can be explained
in that LLVM typically optimizes stack based pointer arithmetic
by using K-based operations and that use of dynamic map access
is not overly frequent. However, in future we may decide to
optimize the algorithm further under known guarantees from
branch and value speculation. Latter seems also unclear in
terms of prediction heuristics that today's CPUs apply as well
as whether there could be collisions in e.g. the predictor's
Value History/Pattern Table for triggering out of bounds access,
thus masking is performed unconditionally at this point but could
be subject to relaxation later on. We were generally also
brainstorming various other approaches for mitigation, but the
blocker was always lack of available registers at runtime and/or
overhead for runtime tracking of limits belonging to a specific
pointer. Thus, we found this to be minimally intrusive under
given constraints.

With that in place, a simple example with sanitized access on
unprivileged load at post-verification time looks as follows:

  # bpftool prog dump xlated id 282
  [...]
  28: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r7 +0)
  29: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r7 +8)
  30: (57) r1 &amp;= 15
  31: (79) r3 = *(u64 *)(r0 +4608)
  32: (57) r3 &amp;= 1
  33: (47) r3 |= 1
  34: (2d) if r2 &gt; r3 goto pc+19
  35: (b4) (u32) r11 = (u32) 20479  |
  36: (1f) r11 -= r2                | Dynamic sanitation for pointer
  37: (4f) r11 |= r2                | arithmetic with registers
  38: (87) r11 = -r11               | containing bounded or known
  39: (c7) r11 s&gt;&gt;= 63              | scalars in order to prevent
  40: (5f) r11 &amp;= r2                | out of bounds speculation.
  41: (0f) r4 += r11                |
  42: (71) r4 = *(u8 *)(r4 +0)
  43: (6f) r4 &lt;&lt;= r1
  [...]

For the case where the scalar sits in the destination register
as opposed to the source register, the following code is emitted
for the above example:

  [...]
  16: (b4) (u32) r11 = (u32) 20479
  17: (1f) r11 -= r2
  18: (4f) r11 |= r2
  19: (87) r11 = -r11
  20: (c7) r11 s&gt;&gt;= 63
  21: (5f) r2 &amp;= r11
  22: (0f) r2 += r0
  23: (61) r0 = *(u32 *)(r2 +0)
  [...]

JIT blinding example with non-conflicting use of r10:

  [...]
   d5:	je     0x0000000000000106    _
   d7:	mov    0x0(%rax),%edi       |
   da:	mov    $0xf153246,%r10d     | Index load from map value and
   e0:	xor    $0xf153259,%r10      | (const blinded) mask with 0x1f.
   e7:	and    %r10,%rdi            |_
   ea:	mov    $0x2f,%r10d          |
   f0:	sub    %rdi,%r10            | Sanitized addition. Both use r10
   f3:	or     %rdi,%r10            | but do not interfere with each
   f6:	neg    %r10                 | other. (Neither do these instructions
   f9:	sar    $0x3f,%r10           | interfere with the use of ax as temp
   fd:	and    %r10,%rdi            | in interpreter.)
  100:	add    %rax,%rdi            |_
  103:	mov    0x0(%rdi),%eax
 [...]

Tested that it fixes Jann's reproducer, and also checked that test_verifier
and test_progs suite with interpreter, JIT and JIT with hardening enabled
on x86-64 and arm64 runs successfully.

[ commit b7137c4eab85c1cf3d46acdde90ce1163b28c873 upstream ]

In check_map_access() we probe actual bounds through __check_map_access()
with offset of reg-&gt;smin_value + off for lower bound and offset of
reg-&gt;umax_value + off for the upper bound. However, even though the
reg-&gt;smin_value could have a negative value, the final result of the
sum with off could be positive when pointer arithmetic with known and
unknown scalars is combined. In this case we reject the program with
an error such as "R&lt;x&gt; min value is negative, either use unsigned index
or do a if (index &gt;=0) check." even though the access itself would be
fine. Therefore extend the check to probe whether the actual resulting
reg-&gt;smin_value + off is less than zero.

[ commit 9d7eceede769f90b66cfa06ad5b357140d5141ed upstream ]

For unknown scalars of mixed signed bounds, meaning their smin_value is
negative and their smax_value is positive, we need to reject arithmetic
with pointer to map value. For unprivileged the goal is to mask every
map pointer arithmetic and this cannot reliably be done when it is
unknown at verification time whether the scalar value is negative or
positive. Given this is a corner case, the likelihood of breaking should
be very small.

Restrict stack pointer arithmetic for unprivileged users in that
arithmetic itself must not go out of bounds as opposed to the actual
access later on. Therefore after each adjust_ptr_min_max_vals() with
a stack pointer as a destination we simulate a check_stack_access()
of 1 byte on the destination and once that fails the program is
rejected for unprivileged program loads. This is analog to map
value pointer arithmetic and needed for masking later on.

<title>bpf: relax verifier restriction on BPF_MOV | BPF_ALU</title>

[ Upstream commit e434b8cdf788568ba65a0a0fd9f3cb41f3ca1803 ]

Currently, the destination register is marked as unknown for 32-bit
sub-register move (BPF_MOV | BPF_ALU) whenever the source register type is
SCALAR_VALUE.

This is too conservative that some valid cases will be rejected.
Especially, this may turn a constant scalar value into unknown value that
could break some assumptions of verifier.

For example, test_l4lb_noinline.c has the following C code:

    struct real_definition *dst

1:  if (!get_packet_dst(&amp;dst, &amp;pckt, vip_info, is_ipv6))
2:    return TC_ACT_SHOT;
3:
4:  if (dst-&gt;flags &amp; F_IPV6) {

get_packet_dst is responsible for initializing "dst" into valid pointer and
return true (1), otherwise return false (0). The compiled instruction
sequence using alu32 will be:

  412: (54) (u32) r7 &amp;= (u32) 1
  413: (bc) (u32) r0 = (u32) r7
  414: (95) exit

insn 413, a BPF_MOV | BPF_ALU, however will turn r0 into unknown value even
r7 contains SCALAR_VALUE 1.

This causes trouble when verifier is walking the code path that hasn't
initialized "dst" inside get_packet_dst, for which case 0 is returned and
we would then expect verifier concluding line 1 in the above C code pass
the "if" check, therefore would skip fall through path starting at line 4.
Now, because r0 returned from callee has became unknown value, so verifier
won't skip analyzing path starting at line 4 and "dst-&gt;flags" requires
dereferencing the pointer "dst" which actually hasn't be initialized for
this path.

This patch relaxed the code marking sub-register move destination. For a
SCALAR_VALUE, it is safe to just copy the value from source then truncate
it into 32-bit.

A unit test also included to demonstrate this issue. This test will fail
before this patch.

This relaxation could let verifier skipping more paths for conditional
comparison against immediate. It also let verifier recording a more
accurate/strict value for one register at one state, if this state end up
with going through exit without rejection and it is used for state
comparison later, then it is possible an inaccurate/permissive value is
better. So the real impact on verifier processed insn number is complex.
But in all, without this fix, valid program could be rejected.

&gt;From real benchmarking on kernel selftests and Cilium bpf tests, there is
no impact on processed instruction number when tests ares compiled with
default compilation options. There is slightly improvements when they are
compiled with -mattr=+alu32 after this patch.

Also, test_xdp_noinline/-mattr=+alu32 now passed verification. It is
rejected before this fix.

Insn processed before/after this patch:

                        default     -mattr=+alu32

Kernel selftest

===
test_xdp.o              371/371      369/369
test_l4lb.o             6345/6345    5623/5623
test_xdp_noinline.o     2971/2971    rejected/2727
test_tcp_estates.o      429/429      430/430

Cilium bpf

bpf_lb-DLB_L3.o:        2085/2085     1685/1687
bpf_lb-DLB_L4.o:        2287/2287     1986/1982
bpf_lb-DUNKNOWN.o:      690/690       622/622

bpf_netdev.o:           7245/7245     N/A
bpf_overlay.o:          2898/2898     3085/2947

NOTE:
  - bpf_lxc.o and bpf_netdev.o compiled by -mattr=+alu32 are rejected by
    verifier due to another issue inside verifier on supporting alu32
    binary.
  - Each cilium bpf program could generate several processed insn number,
    above number is sum of them.

v1-&gt;v2:
 - Restrict the change on SCALAR_VALUE.
 - Update benchmark numbers on Cilium bpf tests.

[ Upstream commit e434b8cdf788568ba65a0a0fd9f3cb41f3ca1803 ]

Currently, the destination register is marked as unknown for 32-bit
sub-register move (BPF_MOV | BPF_ALU) whenever the source register type is
SCALAR_VALUE.

This is too conservative that some valid cases will be rejected.
Especially, this may turn a constant scalar value into unknown value that
could break some assumptions of verifier.

For example, test_l4lb_noinline.c has the following C code:

    struct real_definition *dst

1:  if (!get_packet_dst(&amp;dst, &amp;pckt, vip_info, is_ipv6))
2:    return TC_ACT_SHOT;
3:
4:  if (dst-&gt;flags &amp; F_IPV6) {

get_packet_dst is responsible for initializing "dst" into valid pointer and
return true (1), otherwise return false (0). The compiled instruction
sequence using alu32 will be:

  412: (54) (u32) r7 &amp;= (u32) 1
  413: (bc) (u32) r0 = (u32) r7
  414: (95) exit

insn 413, a BPF_MOV | BPF_ALU, however will turn r0 into unknown value even
r7 contains SCALAR_VALUE 1.

This causes trouble when verifier is walking the code path that hasn't
initialized "dst" inside get_packet_dst, for which case 0 is returned and
we would then expect verifier concluding line 1 in the above C code pass
the "if" check, therefore would skip fall through path starting at line 4.
Now, because r0 returned from callee has became unknown value, so verifier
won't skip analyzing path starting at line 4 and "dst-&gt;flags" requires
dereferencing the pointer "dst" which actually hasn't be initialized for
this path.

This patch relaxed the code marking sub-register move destination. For a
SCALAR_VALUE, it is safe to just copy the value from source then truncate
it into 32-bit.

A unit test also included to demonstrate this issue. This test will fail
before this patch.

This relaxation could let verifier skipping more paths for conditional
comparison against immediate. It also let verifier recording a more
accurate/strict value for one register at one state, if this state end up
with going through exit without rejection and it is used for state
comparison later, then it is possible an inaccurate/permissive value is
better. So the real impact on verifier processed insn number is complex.
But in all, without this fix, valid program could be rejected.

&gt;From real benchmarking on kernel selftests and Cilium bpf tests, there is
no impact on processed instruction number when tests ares compiled with
default compilation options. There is slightly improvements when they are
compiled with -mattr=+alu32 after this patch.

Also, test_xdp_noinline/-mattr=+alu32 now passed verification. It is
rejected before this fix.

Insn processed before/after this patch:

                        default     -mattr=+alu32

test_xdp.o              371/371      369/369

bpf_overlay.o:          2898/2898     3085/2947

NOTE:
  - bpf_lxc.o and bpf_netdev.o compiled by -mattr=+alu32 are rejected by
    verifier due to another issue inside verifier on supporting alu32
    binary.
  - Each cilium bpf program could generate several processed insn number,
    above number is sum of them.

v1-&gt;v2:
 - Restrict the change on SCALAR_VALUE.
 - Update benchmark numbers on Cilium bpf tests.

[ Upstream commit 46f53a65d2de3e1591636c22b626b09d8684fd71 ]

Currently BPF verifier allows narrow loads for a context field only with
offset zero. E.g. if there is a __u32 field then only the following
loads are permitted:
  * off=0, size=1 (narrow);
  * off=0, size=2 (narrow);
  * off=0, size=4 (full).

On the other hand LLVM can generate a load with offset different than
zero that make sense from program logic point of view, but verifier
doesn't accept it.

E.g. tools/testing/selftests/bpf/sendmsg4_prog.c has code:

  #define DST_IP4			0xC0A801FEU /* 192.168.1.254 */
  ...
  	if ((ctx-&gt;user_ip4 &gt;&gt; 24) == (bpf_htonl(DST_IP4) &gt;&gt; 24) &amp;&amp;

where ctx is struct bpf_sock_addr.

Some versions of LLVM can produce the following byte code for it:

       8:       71 12 07 00 00 00 00 00         r2 = *(u8 *)(r1 + 7)
       9:       67 02 00 00 18 00 00 00         r2 &lt;&lt;= 24
      10:       18 03 00 00 00 00 00 fe 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00         r3 = 4261412864 ll
      12:       5d 32 07 00 00 00 00 00         if r2 != r3 goto +7 &lt;LBB0_6&gt;

where `*(u8 *)(r1 + 7)` means narrow load for ctx-&gt;user_ip4 with size=1
and offset=3 (7 - sizeof(ctx-&gt;user_family) = 3). This load is currently
rejected by verifier.

Verifier code that rejects such loads is in bpf_ctx_narrow_access_ok()
what means any is_valid_access implementation, that uses the function,
works this way, e.g. bpf_skb_is_valid_access() for __sk_buff or
sock_addr_is_valid_access() for bpf_sock_addr.

The patch makes such loads supported. Offset can be in [0; size_default)
but has to be multiple of load size. E.g. for __u32 field the following
loads are supported now:
  * off=0, size=1 (narrow);
  * off=1, size=1 (narrow);
  * off=2, size=1 (narrow);
  * off=3, size=1 (narrow);
  * off=0, size=2 (narrow);
  * off=2, size=2 (narrow);
  * off=0, size=4 (full).

<title>bpf: verifier: make sure callees don't prune with caller differences</title>

Currently for liveness and state pruning the register parentage
chains don't include states of the callee.  This makes some sense
as the callee can't access those registers.  However, this means
that READs done after the callee returns will not propagate into
the states of the callee.  Callee will then perform pruning
disregarding differences in caller state.

Example:

   0: (85) call bpf_user_rnd_u32
   1: (b7) r8 = 0
   2: (55) if r0 != 0x0 goto pc+1
   3: (b7) r8 = 1
   4: (bf) r1 = r8
   5: (85) call pc+4
   6: (15) if r8 == 0x1 goto pc+1
   7: (05) *(u64 *)(r9 - 8) = r3
   8: (b7) r0 = 0
   9: (95) exit

   10: (15) if r1 == 0x0 goto pc+0
   11: (95) exit

Here we acquire unknown state with call to get_random() [1].  Then
we store this random state in r8 (either 0 or 1) [1 - 3], and make
a call on line 5.  Callee does nothing but a trivial conditional
jump (to create a pruning point).  Upon return caller checks the
state of r8 and either performs an unsafe read or not.

Verifier will first explore the path with r8 == 1, creating a pruning
point at [11].  The parentage chain for r8 will include only callers
states so once verifier reaches [6] it will mark liveness only on states
in the caller, and not [11].  Now when verifier walks the paths with
r8 == 0 it will reach [11] and since REG_LIVE_READ on r8 was not
propagated there it will prune the walk entirely (stop walking
the entire program, not just the callee).  Since [6] was never walked
with r8 == 0, [7] will be considered dead and replaced with "goto -1"
causing hang at runtime.

This patch weaves the callee's explored states onto the callers
parentage chain.  Rough parentage for r8 would have looked like this
before:

[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]   [10]      [11]      [6]      [7]
     |           |      ,---|----.    |        |        |
  sl0:         sl0:    / sl0:     \ sl0:      sl0:     sl0:
  fr0: r8 &lt;-- fr0: r8&lt;+--fr0: r8   `fr0: r8  ,fr0: r8&lt;-fr0: r8
                       \ fr1: r8 &lt;- fr1: r8 /
                        \__________________/

after:

[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]   [10]      [11]      [6]      [7]
     |           |          |         |        |        |
   sl0:         sl0:      sl0:       sl0:      sl0:     sl0:
   fr0: r8 &lt;-- fr0: r8 &lt;- fr0: r8 &lt;- fr0: r8 &lt;-fr0: r8&lt;-fr0: r8
                          fr1: r8 &lt;- fr1: r8

Now the mark from instruction 6 will travel through callees states.

Note that we don't have to connect r0 because its overwritten by
callees state on return and r1 - r5 because those are not alive
any more once a call is made.

v2:
 - don't connect the callees registers twice (Alexei: suggestion &amp; code)
 - add more details to the comment (Ed &amp; Alexei)
v1: don't unnecessarily link caller saved regs (Jiong)
