[ Upstream commit ceb35b666d42c2e91b1f94aeca95bb5eb0943268 ]

Most allocation sites in the kernel want an explicitly sized allocation
(and not "more"), and that dynamic runtime analysis tools (e.g. KASAN,
UBSAN_BOUNDS, FORTIFY_SOURCE, etc) are looking for precise bounds checking
(i.e. not something that is rounded up). A tiny handful of allocations
were doing an implicit alloc/realloc loop that actually depended on
ksize(), and didn't actually always call realloc. This has created a
long series of bugs and problems over many years related to the runtime
bounds checking, so these callers are finally being adjusted to _not_
depend on the ksize() side-effect, by doing one of several things:

- tracking the allocation size precisely and just never calling ksize()
  at all [1].

- always calling realloc and not using ksize() at all. (This solution
  ends up actually be a subset of the next solution.)

- using kmalloc_size_roundup() to explicitly round up the desired
  allocation size immediately [2].

The bpf/verifier case is this another of this latter case, and is the
last outstanding case to be fixed in the kernel.

Because some of the dynamic bounds checking depends on the size being an
_argument_ to an allocator function (i.e. see the __alloc_size attribute),
the ksize() users are rare, and it could waste local variables, it
was been deemed better to explicitly separate the rounding up from the
allocation itself [3].

Round up allocations with kmalloc_size_roundup() so that the verifier's
use of ksize() is always accurate.

[ Upstream commit d35af0a7feb077c43ff0233bba5a8c6e75b73e35 ]

In BPF all global functions, and BPF helpers return a 64-bit
value. For kfunc calls, this is not the case, and they can return
e.g. 32-bit values.

The return register R0 for kfuncs calls can therefore be marked as
subreg_def != DEF_NOT_SUBREG. In general, if a register is marked with
subreg_def != DEF_NOT_SUBREG, some archs (where bpf_jit_needs_zext()
returns true) require the verifier to insert explicit zero-extension
instructions.

For kfuncs calls, however, the caller should do sign/zero extension
for return values. In other words, the compiler is responsible to
insert proper instructions, not the verifier.

An example, provided by Yonghong Song:

$ cat t.c
extern unsigned foo(void);
unsigned bar1(void) {
     return foo();
}
unsigned bar2(void) {
     if (foo()) return 10; else return 20;
}

$ clang -target bpf -mcpu=v3 -O2 -c t.c &amp;&amp; llvm-objdump -d t.o
t.o:    file format elf64-bpf

	7:       95 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 exit

If the return value of 'foo()' is used in the BPF program, the proper
zero-extension will be done.

Currently, the verifier correctly marks, say, a 32-bit return value as
subreg_def != DEF_NOT_SUBREG, but will fail performing the actual
zero-extension, due to a verifier bug in
opt_subreg_zext_lo32_rnd_hi32(). load_reg is not properly set to R0,
and the following path will be taken:

		if (WARN_ON(load_reg == -1)) {
			verbose(env, "verifier bug. zext_dst is set, but no reg is defined\n");
			return -EFAULT;
		}

A longer discussion from v1 can be found in the link below.

Correct the verifier by avoiding doing explicit zero-extension of R0
for kfunc calls. Note that R0 will still be marked as a sub-register
for return values smaller than 64-bit.

<title>bpf: propagate precision across all frames, not just the last one</title>

[ Upstream commit 529409ea92d590659be487ba0839710329bd8074 ]

When equivalent completed state is found and it has additional precision
restrictions, BPF verifier propagates precision to
currently-being-verified state chain (i.e., including parent states) so
that if some of the states in the chain are not yet completed, necessary
precision restrictions are enforced.

Unfortunately, right now this happens only for the last frame (deepest
active subprogram's frame), not all the frames. This can lead to
incorrect matching of states due to missing precision marker. Currently
this doesn't seem possible as BPF verifier forces everything to precise
when validated BPF program has any subprograms. But with the next patch
lifting this restriction, this becomes problematic.

In fact, without this fix, we'll start getting failure in one of the
existing test_verifier test cases:

  #906/p precise: cross frame pruning FAIL
  Unexpected success to load!
  verification time 48 usec
  stack depth 0+0
  processed 26 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 3 total_states 17 peak_states 17 mark_read 8

This patch adds precision propagation across all frames.

<title>bpf: propagate precision in ALU/ALU64 operations</title>

[ Upstream commit a3b666bfa9c9edc05bca62a87abafe0936bd7f97 ]

When processing ALU/ALU64 operations (apart from BPF_MOV, which is
handled correctly already; and BPF_NEG and BPF_END are special and don't
have source register), if destination register is already marked
precise, this causes problem with potentially missing precision tracking
for the source register. E.g., when we have r1 &gt;&gt;= r5 and r1 is marked
precise, but r5 isn't, this will lead to r5 staying as imprecise. This
is due to the precision backtracking logic stopping early when it sees
r1 is already marked precise. If r1 wasn't precise, we'd keep
backtracking and would add r5 to the set of registers that need to be
marked precise. So there is a discrepancy here which can lead to invalid
and incompatible states matched due to lack of precision marking on r5.
If r1 wasn't precise, precision backtracking would correctly mark both
r1 and r5 as precise.

This is simple to fix, though. During the forward instruction simulation
pass, for arithmetic operations of `scalar &lt;op&gt;= scalar` form (where
&lt;op&gt; is ALU or ALU64 operations), if destination register is already
precise, mark source register as precise. This applies only when both
involved registers are SCALARs. `ptr += scalar` and `scalar += ptr`
cases are already handled correctly.

This does have (negative) effect on some selftest programs and few
Cilium programs.  ~/baseline-tmp-results.csv are veristat results with
this patch, while ~/baseline-results.csv is without it. See post
scriptum for instructions on how to make Cilium programs testable with
veristat. Correctness has a price.

P.S. To make Cilium ([0]) programs libbpf-compatible and thus
veristat-loadable, apply changes from topmost commit in [1], which does
minimal changes to Cilium source code, mostly around SEC() annotations
and BPF map definitions.

[ Upstream commit a3b666bfa9c9edc05bca62a87abafe0936bd7f97 ]

When processing ALU/ALU64 operations (apart from BPF_MOV, which is
handled correctly already; and BPF_NEG and BPF_END are special and don't
have source register), if destination register is already marked
precise, this causes problem with potentially missing precision tracking
for the source register. E.g., when we have r1 &gt;&gt;= r5 and r1 is marked
precise, but r5 isn't, this will lead to r5 staying as imprecise. This
is due to the precision backtracking logic stopping early when it sees
r1 is already marked precise. If r1 wasn't precise, we'd keep
backtracking and would add r5 to the set of registers that need to be
marked precise. So there is a discrepancy here which can lead to invalid
and incompatible states matched due to lack of precision marking on r5.
If r1 wasn't precise, precision backtracking would correctly mark both
r1 and r5 as precise.

This is simple to fix, though. During the forward instruction simulation
pass, for arithmetic operations of `scalar &lt;op&gt;= scalar` form (where
&lt;op&gt; is ALU or ALU64 operations), if destination register is already
precise, mark source register as precise. This applies only when both
involved registers are SCALARs. `ptr += scalar` and `scalar += ptr`
cases are already handled correctly.

This does have (negative) effect on some selftest programs and few
Cilium programs.  ~/baseline-tmp-results.csv are veristat results with
this patch, while ~/baseline-results.csv is without it. See post
scriptum for instructions on how to make Cilium programs testable with
veristat. Correctness has a price.

P.S. To make Cilium ([0]) programs libbpf-compatible and thus
veristat-loadable, apply changes from topmost commit in [1], which does
minimal changes to Cilium source code, mostly around SEC() annotations
and BPF map definitions.

[ Upstream commit f5e477a861e4a20d8a1c5f7a245f3a3c3c376b03 ]

For the case where allow_ptr_leaks is false, code is checking whether
slot type is STACK_INVALID and STACK_SPILL and rejecting other cases.
This is a consequence of incorrectly checking for register type instead
of the slot type (NOT_INIT and SCALAR_VALUE respectively). Fix the
check.

<title>bpf: Clobber stack slot when writing over spilled PTR_TO_BTF_ID</title>

[ Upstream commit 261f4664caffdeb9dff4e83ee3c0334b1c3a552f ]

When support was added for spilled PTR_TO_BTF_ID to be accessed by
helper memory access, the stack slot was not overwritten to STACK_MISC
(and that too is only safe when env-&gt;allow_ptr_leaks is true).

This means that helpers who take ARG_PTR_TO_MEM and write to it may
essentially overwrite the value while the verifier continues to track
the slot for spilled register.

This can cause issues when PTR_TO_BTF_ID is spilled to stack, and then
overwritten by helper write access, which can then be passed to BPF
helpers or kfuncs.

Handle this by falling back to the case introduced in a later commit,
which will also handle PTR_TO_BTF_ID along with other pointer types,
i.e. cd17d38f8b28 ("bpf: Permits pointers on stack for helper calls").

Finally, include a comment on why REG_LIVE_WRITTEN is not being set when
clobber is set to true. In short, the reason is that while when clobber
is unset, we know that we won't be writing, when it is true, we *may*
write to any of the stack slots in that range. It may be a partial or
complete write, to just one or many stack slots.

We cannot be sure, hence to be conservative, we leave things as is and
never set REG_LIVE_WRITTEN for any stack slot. However, clobber still
needs to reset them to STACK_MISC assuming writes happened. However read
marks still need to be propagated upwards from liveness point of view,
as parent stack slot's contents may still continue to matter to child
states.

Some helper functions will allocate memory. To avoid memory leaks, the
verifier requires the eBPF program to release these memories by calling
the corresponding helper functions.

When a resource is released, all pointer registers corresponding to the
resource should be invalidated. The verifier use release_references() to
do this job, by apply  __mark_reg_unknown() to each relevant register.

It will give these registers the type of SCALAR_VALUE. A register that
will contain a pointer value at runtime, but of type SCALAR_VALUE, which
may allow the unprivileged user to get a kernel pointer by storing this
register into a map.

Using __mark_reg_not_init() while NOT allow_ptr_leaks can mitigate this
problem.

If an error (NULL) is returned by krealloc(), callers of realloc_array()
were setting their allocation pointers to NULL, but on error krealloc()
does not touch the original allocation. This would result in a memory
resource leak. Instead, free the old allocation on the error handling
path.

The memory leak information is as follows as also reported by Zhengchao:

If an error (NULL) is returned by krealloc(), callers of realloc_array()
were setting their allocation pointers to NULL, but on error krealloc()
does not touch the original allocation. This would result in a memory
resource leak. Instead, free the old allocation on the error handling
path.

The memory leak information is as follows as also reported by Zhengchao:

  unreferenced object 0xffff888019801800 (size 256):
