[ Upstream commit 7a830b53c17bbadcf99f778f28aaaa4e6c41df5f ]

Exploit the property of about-to-be-checkpointed state to be able to
forget all precise markings up to that point even more aggressively. We
now clear all potentially inherited precise markings right before
checkpointing and branching off into child state. If any of children
states require precise knowledge of any SCALAR register, those will be
propagated backwards later on before this state is finalized, preserving
correctness.

There is a single selftests BPF program change, but tremendous one: 25x
reduction in number of verified instructions and states in
trace_virtqueue_add_sgs.

Cilium results are more modest, but happen across wider range of programs.

[ Upstream commit f63181b6ae79fd3b034cde641db774268c2c3acf ]

Setting reg-&gt;precise to true in current state is not necessary from
correctness standpoint, but it does pessimise the whole precision (or
rather "imprecision", because that's what we want to keep as much as
possible) tracking. Why is somewhat subtle and my best attempt to
explain this is recorded in an extensive comment for __mark_chain_precise()
function. Some more careful thinking and code reading is probably required
still to grok this completely, unfortunately. Whiteboarding and a bunch
of extra handwaiving in person would be even more helpful, but is deemed
impractical in Git commit.

Next patch pushes this imprecision property even further, building on top of
the insights described in this patch.

End results are pretty nice, we get reduction in number of total instructions
and states verified due to a better states reuse, as some of the states are now
more generic and permissive due to less unnecessary precise=true requirements.

[ Upstream commit f63181b6ae79fd3b034cde641db774268c2c3acf ]

Setting reg-&gt;precise to true in current state is not necessary from
correctness standpoint, but it does pessimise the whole precision (or
rather "imprecision", because that's what we want to keep as much as
possible) tracking. Why is somewhat subtle and my best attempt to
explain this is recorded in an extensive comment for __mark_chain_precise()
function. Some more careful thinking and code reading is probably required
still to grok this completely, unfortunately. Whiteboarding and a bunch
of extra handwaiving in person would be even more helpful, but is deemed
impractical in Git commit.

Next patch pushes this imprecision property even further, building on top of
the insights described in this patch.

End results are pretty nice, we get reduction in number of total instructions
and states verified due to a better states reuse, as some of the states are now
more generic and permissive due to less unnecessary precise=true requirements.

[ Upstream commit be2ef8161572ec1973124ebc50f56dafc2925e07 ]

Stop forcing precise=true for SCALAR registers when BPF program has any
subprograms. Current restriction means that any BPF program, as soon as
it uses subprograms, will end up not getting any of the precision
tracking benefits in reduction of number of verified states.

This patch keeps the fallback mark_all_scalars_precise() behavior if
precise marking has to cross function frames. E.g., if subprogram
requires R1 (first input arg) to be marked precise, ideally we'd need to
backtrack to the parent function and keep marking R1 and its
dependencies as precise. But right now we give up and force all the
SCALARs in any of the current and parent states to be forced to
precise=true. We can lift that restriction in the future.

But this patch fixes two issues identified when trying to enable
precision tracking for subprogs.

First, prevent "escaping" from top-most state in a global subprog. While
with entry-level BPF program we never end up requesting precision for
R1-R5 registers, because R2-R5 are not initialized (and so not readable
in correct BPF program), and R1 is PTR_TO_CTX, not SCALAR, and so is
implicitly precise. With global subprogs, though, it's different, as
global subprog a) can have up to 5 SCALAR input arguments, which might
get marked as precise=true and b) it is validated in isolation from its
main entry BPF program. b) means that we can end up exhausting parent
state chain and still not mark all registers in reg_mask as precise,
which would lead to verifier bug warning.

To handle that, we need to consider two cases. First, if the very first
state is not immediately "checkpointed" (i.e., stored in state lookup
hashtable), it will get correct first_insn_idx and last_insn_idx
instruction set during state checkpointing. As such, this case is
already handled and __mark_chain_precision() already handles that by
just doing nothing when we reach to the very first parent state.
st-&gt;parent will be NULL and we'll just stop. Perhaps some extra check
for reg_mask and stack_mask is due here, but this patch doesn't address
that issue.

More problematic second case is when global function's initial state is
immediately checkpointed before we manage to process the very first
instruction. This is happening because when there is a call to global
subprog from the main program the very first subprog's instruction is
marked as pruning point, so before we manage to process first
instruction we have to check and checkpoint state. This patch adds
a special handling for such "empty" state, which is identified by having
st-&gt;last_insn_idx set to -1. In such case, we check that we are indeed
validating global subprog, and with some sanity checking we mark input
args as precise if requested.

Note that we also initialize state-&gt;first_insn_idx with correct start
insn_idx offset. For main program zero is correct value, but for any
subprog it's quite confusing to not have first_insn_idx set. This
doesn't have any functional impact, but helps with debugging and state
printing. We also explicitly initialize state-&gt;last_insns_idx instead of
relying on is_state_visited() to do this with env-&gt;prev_insns_idx, which
will be -1 on the very first instruction. This concludes necessary
changes to handle specifically global subprog's precision tracking.

Second identified problem was missed handling of BPF helper functions
that call into subprogs (e.g., bpf_loop and few others). From precision
tracking and backtracking logic's standpoint those are effectively calls
into subprogs and should be called as BPF_PSEUDO_CALL calls.

This patch takes the least intrusive way and just checks against a short
list of current BPF helpers that do call subprogs, encapsulated in
is_callback_calling_function() function. But to prevent accidentally
forgetting to add new BPF helpers to this "list", we also do a sanity
check in __check_func_call, which has to be called for each such special
BPF helper, to validate that BPF helper is indeed recognized as
callback-calling one. This should catch any missed checks in the future.
Adding some special flags to be added in function proto definitions
seemed like an overkill in this case.

With the above changes, it's possible to remove forceful setting of
reg-&gt;precise to true in __mark_reg_unknown, which turns on precision
tracking both inside subprogs and entry progs that have subprogs. No
warnings or errors were detected across all the selftests, but also when
validating with veristat against internal Meta BPF objects and Cilium
objects. Further, in some BPF programs there are noticeable reduction in
number of states and instructions validated due to more effective
precision tracking, especially benefiting syncookie test.

[ Upstream commit be2ef8161572ec1973124ebc50f56dafc2925e07 ]

Stop forcing precise=true for SCALAR registers when BPF program has any
subprograms. Current restriction means that any BPF program, as soon as
it uses subprograms, will end up not getting any of the precision
tracking benefits in reduction of number of verified states.

This patch keeps the fallback mark_all_scalars_precise() behavior if
precise marking has to cross function frames. E.g., if subprogram
requires R1 (first input arg) to be marked precise, ideally we'd need to
backtrack to the parent function and keep marking R1 and its
dependencies as precise. But right now we give up and force all the
SCALARs in any of the current and parent states to be forced to
precise=true. We can lift that restriction in the future.

But this patch fixes two issues identified when trying to enable
precision tracking for subprogs.

First, prevent "escaping" from top-most state in a global subprog. While
with entry-level BPF program we never end up requesting precision for
R1-R5 registers, because R2-R5 are not initialized (and so not readable
in correct BPF program), and R1 is PTR_TO_CTX, not SCALAR, and so is
implicitly precise. With global subprogs, though, it's different, as
global subprog a) can have up to 5 SCALAR input arguments, which might
get marked as precise=true and b) it is validated in isolation from its
main entry BPF program. b) means that we can end up exhausting parent
state chain and still not mark all registers in reg_mask as precise,
which would lead to verifier bug warning.

To handle that, we need to consider two cases. First, if the very first
state is not immediately "checkpointed" (i.e., stored in state lookup
hashtable), it will get correct first_insn_idx and last_insn_idx
instruction set during state checkpointing. As such, this case is
already handled and __mark_chain_precision() already handles that by
just doing nothing when we reach to the very first parent state.
st-&gt;parent will be NULL and we'll just stop. Perhaps some extra check
for reg_mask and stack_mask is due here, but this patch doesn't address
that issue.

More problematic second case is when global function's initial state is
immediately checkpointed before we manage to process the very first
instruction. This is happening because when there is a call to global
subprog from the main program the very first subprog's instruction is
marked as pruning point, so before we manage to process first
instruction we have to check and checkpoint state. This patch adds
a special handling for such "empty" state, which is identified by having
st-&gt;last_insn_idx set to -1. In such case, we check that we are indeed
validating global subprog, and with some sanity checking we mark input
args as precise if requested.

Note that we also initialize state-&gt;first_insn_idx with correct start
insn_idx offset. For main program zero is correct value, but for any
subprog it's quite confusing to not have first_insn_idx set. This
doesn't have any functional impact, but helps with debugging and state
printing. We also explicitly initialize state-&gt;last_insns_idx instead of
relying on is_state_visited() to do this with env-&gt;prev_insns_idx, which
will be -1 on the very first instruction. This concludes necessary
changes to handle specifically global subprog's precision tracking.

Second identified problem was missed handling of BPF helper functions
that call into subprogs (e.g., bpf_loop and few others). From precision
tracking and backtracking logic's standpoint those are effectively calls

reg-&gt;precise to true in __mark_reg_unknown, which turns on precision
tracking both inside subprogs and entry progs that have subprogs. No
warnings or errors were detected across all the selftests, but also when

<title>bpf: Repeat check_max_stack_depth for async callbacks</title>

[ Upstream commit b5e9ad522c4ccd32d322877515cff8d47ed731b9 ]

While the check_max_stack_depth function explores call chains emanating
from the main prog, which is typically enough to cover all possible call
chains, it doesn't explore those rooted at async callbacks unless the
async callback will have been directly called, since unlike non-async
callbacks it skips their instruction exploration as they don't
contribute to stack depth.

It could be the case that the async callback leads to a callchain which
exceeds the stack depth, but this is never reachable while only
exploring the entry point from main subprog. Hence, repeat the check for
the main subprog *and* all async callbacks marked by the symbolic
execution pass of the verifier, as execution of the program may begin at
any of them.

Consider functions with following stack depths:
main: 256
async: 256
foo: 256

main:
    rX = async
    bpf_timer_set_callback(...)

async:
    foo()

Here, async is not descended as it does not contribute to stack depth of
main (since it is referenced using bpf_pseudo_func and not
bpf_pseudo_call). However, when async is invoked asynchronously, it will
end up breaching the MAX_BPF_STACK limit by calling foo.

Hence, in addition to main, we also need to explore call chains
beginning at all async callback subprogs in a program.

[ Upstream commit ba7b3e7d5f9014be65879ede8fd599cb222901c9 ]

The assignment to idx in check_max_stack_depth happens once we see a
bpf_pseudo_call or bpf_pseudo_func. This is not an issue as the rest of
the code performs a few checks and then pushes the frame to the frame
stack, except the case of async callbacks. If the async callback case
causes the loop iteration to be skipped, the idx assignment will be
incorrect on the next iteration of the loop. The value stored in the
frame stack (as the subprogno of the current subprog) will be incorrect.

This leads to incorrect checks and incorrect tail_call_reachable
marking. Save the target subprog in a new variable and only assign to
idx once we are done with the is_async_cb check which may skip pushing
of frame to the frame stack and subsequent stack depth checks and tail
call markings.

[ Upstream commit 5415ccd50a8620c8cbaa32d6f18c946c453566f5 ]

The check_max_stack_depth pass happens after the verifier's symbolic
execution, and attempts to walk the call graph of the BPF program,
ensuring that the stack usage stays within bounds for all possible call
chains. There are two cases to consider: bpf_pseudo_func and
bpf_pseudo_call. In the former case, the callback pointer is loaded into
a register, and is assumed that it is passed to some helper later which
calls it (however there is no way to be sure), but the check remains
conservative and accounts the stack usage anyway. For this particular
case, asynchronous callbacks are skipped as they execute asynchronously
when their corresponding event fires.

The case of bpf_pseudo_call is simpler and we know that the call is
definitely made, hence the stack depth of the subprog is accounted for.

However, the current check still skips an asynchronous callback even if
a bpf_pseudo_call was made for it. This is erroneous, as it will miss
accounting for the stack usage of the asynchronous callback, which can
be used to breach the maximum stack depth limit.

Fix this by only skipping asynchronous callbacks when the instruction is
not a pseudo call to the subprog.

<title>bpf: Fix verifier id tracking of scalars on spill</title>

[ Upstream commit 713274f1f2c896d37017efee333fd44149710119 ]

The following scenario describes a bug in the verifier where it
incorrectly concludes about equivalent scalar IDs which could lead to
verifier bypass in privileged mode:

1. Prepare a 32-bit rogue number.
2. Put the rogue number into the upper half of a 64-bit register, and
   roll a random (unknown to the verifier) bit in the lower half. The
   rest of the bits should be zero (although variations are possible).
3. Assign an ID to the register by MOVing it to another arbitrary
   register.
4. Perform a 32-bit spill of the register, then perform a 32-bit fill to
   another register. Due to a bug in the verifier, the ID will be
   preserved, although the new register will contain only the lower 32
   bits, i.e. all zeros except one random bit.

At this point there are two registers with different values but the same
ID, which means the integrity of the verifier state has been corrupted.

5. Compare the new 32-bit register with 0. In the branch where it's
   equal to 0, the verifier will believe that the original 64-bit
   register is also 0, because it has the same ID, but its actual value
   still contains the rogue number in the upper half.
   Some optimizations of the verifier prevent the actual bypass, so
   extra care is needed: the comparison must be between two registers,
   and both branches must be reachable (this is why one random bit is
   needed). Both branches are still suitable for the bypass.
6. Right shift the original register by 32 bits to pop the rogue number.
7. Use the rogue number as an offset with any pointer. The verifier will
   believe that the offset is 0, while in reality it's the given number.

The fix is similar to the 32-bit BPF_MOV handling in check_alu_op for
SCALAR_VALUE. If the spill is narrowing the actual register value, don't
keep the ID, make sure it's reset to 0.

[ Upstream commit ecdf985d7615356b78241fdb159c091830ed0380 ]

For aligned stack writes using BPF_ST instruction track stored values
in a same way BPF_STX is handled, e.g. make sure that the following
commands produce similar verifier knowledge:

  fp[-8] = 42;             r1 = 42;
                       fp[-8] = r1;

This covers two cases:
 - non-null values written to stack are stored as spill of fake
   registers;
 - null values written to stack are stored as STACK_ZERO marks.

Previously both cases above used STACK_MISC marks instead.

Some verifier test cases relied on the old logic to obtain STACK_MISC
marks for some stack values. These test cases are updated in the same
commit to avoid failures during bisect.

commit 0108a4e9f3584a7a2c026d1601b0682ff7335d95 upstream.

When subprograms are in use, the main program is not jit'd after the
subprograms because jit_subprogs sets a value for prog-&gt;bpf_func upon
success.  Subsequent calls to the JIT are bypassed when this value is
non-NULL.  This leads to a situation where the main program and its
func[0] counterpart are both in the bpf kallsyms tree, but only func[0]
has an extable.  Extables are only created during JIT.  Now there are
two nearly identical program ksym entries in the tree, but only one has
an extable.  Depending upon how the entries are placed, there's a chance
that a fault will call search_extable on the aux with the NULL entry.

Since jit_subprogs already copies state from func[0] to the main
program, include the extable pointer in this state duplication.
Additionally, ensure that the copy of the main program in func[0] is not
added to the bpf_prog_kallsyms table. Instead, let the main program get
added later in bpf_prog_load().  This ensures there is only a single
copy of the main program in the kallsyms table, and that its tag matches

commit 0108a4e9f3584a7a2c026d1601b0682ff7335d95 upstream.

When subprograms are in use, the main program is not jit'd after the
subprograms because jit_subprogs sets a value for prog-&gt;bpf_func upon
success.  Subsequent calls to the JIT are bypassed when this value is
non-NULL.  This leads to a situation where the main program and its
func[0] counterpart are both in the bpf kallsyms tree, but only func[0]
has an extable.  Extables are only created during JIT.  Now there are
two nearly identical program ksym entries in the tree, but only one has
an extable.  Depending upon how the entries are placed, there's a chance
that a fault will call search_extable on the aux with the NULL entry.

Since jit_subprogs already copies state from func[0] to the main
program, include the extable pointer in this state duplication.
Additionally, ensure that the copy of the main program in func[0] is not
added to the bpf_prog_kallsyms table. Instead, let the main program get
added later in bpf_prog_load().  This ensures there is only a single
copy of the main program in the kallsyms table, and that its tag matches
the tag observed by tooling like bpftool.

commit 0613d8ca9ab382caabe9ed2dceb429e9781e443f upstream.

A narrow load from a 64-bit context field results in a 64-bit load
followed potentially by a 64-bit right-shift and then a bitwise AND
operation to extract the relevant data.

In the case of a 32-bit access, an immediate mask of 0xffffffff is used
to construct a 64-bit BPP_AND operation which then sign-extends the mask
value and effectively acts as a glorified no-op. For example:

0:	61 10 00 00 00 00 00 00	r0 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 0)

results in the following code generation for a 64-bit field:

	ldr	x7, [x7]	// 64-bit load
	mov	x10, #0xffffffffffffffff
	and	x7, x7, x10

Fix the mask generation so that narrow loads always perform a 32-bit AND
operation:

	ldr	x7, [x7]	// 64-bit load
	mov	w10, #0xffffffff
	and	w7, w7, w10
