Register range information is copied in several places. The intent is
to transfer range/id information from one register/stack spill to
another. Currently this is done using direct register assignment, e.g.:

static void find_equal_scalars(..., struct bpf_reg_state *known_reg)
{
	...
	struct bpf_reg_state *reg;
	...
			*reg = *known_reg;
	...
}

However, such assignments also copy the following bpf_reg_state fields:

struct bpf_reg_state {
	...
	struct bpf_reg_state *parent;
	...
	enum bpf_reg_liveness live;
	...
};

Copying of these fields is accidental and incorrect, as could be
demonstrated by the following example:

     0: call ktime_get_ns()
     1: r6 = r0
     2: call ktime_get_ns()
     3: r7 = r0
     4: if r0 &gt; r6 goto +1             ; r0 &amp; r6 are unbound thus generated
                                       ; branch states are identical
     5: *(u64 *)(r10 - 8) = 0xdeadbeef ; 64-bit write to fp[-8]
    --- checkpoint ---
     6: r1 = 42                        ; r1 marked as written
     7: *(u8 *)(r10 - 8) = r1          ; 8-bit write, fp[-8] parent &amp; live
                                       ; overwritten
     8: r2 = *(u64 *)(r10 - 8)
     9: r0 = 0
    10: exit

This example is unsafe because 64-bit write to fp[-8] at (5) is
conditional, thus not all bytes of fp[-8] are guaranteed to be set
when it is read at (8). However, currently the example passes
verification.

First, the execution path 1-10 is examined by verifier.
Suppose that a new checkpoint is created by is_state_visited() at (6).
After checkpoint creation:
- r1.parent points to checkpoint.r1,
- fp[-8].parent points to checkpoint.fp[-8].
At (6) the r1.live is set to REG_LIVE_WRITTEN.
At (7) the fp[-8].parent is set to r1.parent and fp[-8].live is set to
REG_LIVE_WRITTEN, because of the following code called in
check_stack_write_fixed_off():

static void save_register_state(struct bpf_func_state *state,
				int spi, struct bpf_reg_state *reg,
				int size)
{
	...
	state-&gt;stack[spi].spilled_ptr = *reg;  // &lt;--- parent &amp; live copied
	if (size == BPF_REG_SIZE)
		state-&gt;stack[spi].spilled_ptr.live |= REG_LIVE_WRITTEN;
	...
}

Note the intent to mark stack spill as written only if 8 bytes are
spilled to a slot, however this intent is spoiled by a 'live' field copy.
At (8) the checkpoint.fp[-8] should be marked as REG_LIVE_READ but
this does not happen:
- fp[-8] in a current state is already marked as REG_LIVE_WRITTEN;
- fp[-8].parent points to checkpoint.r1, parentage chain is used by
  mark_reg_read() to mark checkpoint states.
At (10) the verification is finished for path 1-10 and jump 4-6 is
examined. The checkpoint.fp[-8] never gets REG_LIVE_READ mark and this
spill is pruned from the cached states by clean_live_states(). Hence
verifier state obtained via path 1-4,6 is deemed identical to one
obtained via path 1-6 and program marked as safe.

Note: the example should be executed with BPF_F_TEST_STATE_FREQ flag
set to force creation of intermediate verifier states.

This commit revisits the locations where bpf_reg_state instances are
copied and replaces the direct copies with a call to a function
copy_register_state(dst, src) that preserves 'parent' and 'live'
fields of the 'dst'.

<title>bpf: Fix pointer-leak due to insufficient speculative store bypass mitigation</title>

<id>e4f4db47794c9f474b184ee1418f42e6a07412b6</id>
<content type='text'>
To mitigate Spectre v4, 2039f26f3aca ("bpf: Fix leakage due to
insufficient speculative store bypass mitigation") inserts lfence
instructions after 1) initializing a stack slot and 2) spilling a
pointer to the stack.

However, this does not cover cases where a stack slot is first
initialized with a pointer (subject to sanitization) but then
overwritten with a scalar (not subject to sanitization because
the slot was already initialized). In this case, the second write
may be subject to speculative store bypass (SSB) creating a
speculative pointer-as-scalar type confusion. This allows the
program to subsequently leak the numerical pointer value using,
for example, a branch-based cache side channel.

To fix this, also sanitize scalars if they write a stack slot
that previously contained a pointer. Assuming that pointer-spills
are only generated by LLVM on register-pressure, the performance
impact on most real-world BPF programs should be small.

The following unprivileged BPF bytecode drafts a minimal exploit
and the mitigation:

  [...]
  // r6 = 0 or 1 (skalar, unknown user input)
  // r7 = accessible ptr for side channel
  // r10 = frame pointer (fp), to be leaked
  //
  r9 = r10 # fp alias to encourage ssb
  *(u64 *)(r9 - 8) = r10 // fp[-8] = ptr, to be leaked
  // lfence added here because of pointer spill to stack.
  //
  // Ommitted: Dummy bpf_ringbuf_output() here to train alias predictor
  // for no r9-r10 dependency.
  //
  *(u64 *)(r10 - 8) = r6 // fp[-8] = scalar, overwrites ptr
  // 2039f26f3aca: no lfence added because stack slot was not STACK_INVALID,
  // store may be subject to SSB
  //
  // fix: also add an lfence when the slot contained a ptr
  //
  r8 = *(u64 *)(r9 - 8)
  // r8 = architecturally a scalar, speculatively a ptr
  //
  // leak ptr using branch-based cache side channel:
  r8 &amp;= 1 // choose bit to leak
  if r8 == 0 goto SLOW // no mispredict
  // architecturally dead code if input r6 is 0,
  // only executes speculatively iff ptr bit is 1
  r8 = *(u64 *)(r7 + 0) # encode bit in cache (0: slow, 1: fast)
SLOW:
  [...]

After running this, the program can time the access to *(r7 + 0) to
determine whether the chosen pointer bit was 0 or 1. Repeat this 64
times to recover the whole address on amd64.

In summary, sanitization can only be skipped if one scalar is
overwritten with another scalar. Scalar-confusion due to speculative
store bypass can not lead to invalid accesses because the pointer
bounds deducted during verification are enforced using branchless
logic. See 979d63d50c0c ("bpf: prevent out of bounds speculation on
pointer arithmetic") for details.

Do not make the mitigation depend on !env-&gt;allow_{uninit_stack,ptr_leaks}
because speculative leaks are likely unexpected if these were enabled.
For example, leaking the address to a protected log file may be acceptable
while disabling the mitigation might unintentionally leak the address
into the cached-state of a map that is accessible to unprivileged
processes.

The verifier skips invalid kfunc call in check_kfunc_call(), which
would be captured in fixup_kfunc_call() if such insn is not eliminated
by dead code elimination. However, this can lead to the following
warning in backtrack_insn(), also see [1]:

Instead of counting on prior allocations to have sized allocations to
the next kmalloc bucket size, always perform a krealloc that is at least
ksize(dst) in size (which is a no-op), so the size can be correctly
tracked by all the various allocation size trackers (KASAN,
__alloc_size, etc).

After befae75856ab, the verifier would propagate null information after
JEQ/JNE, e.g., if two pointers, one is maybe_null and the other is not,
the former would be marked as non-null in eq path. However, as comment
"PTR_TO_BTF_ID points to a kernel struct that does not need to be null
checked by the BPF program ... The verifier must keep this in mind and
can make no assumptions about null or non-null when doing branch ...".
If one pointer is maybe_null and the other is PTR_TO_BTF, the former is
incorrectly marked non-null. The following BPF prog can trigger a
null-ptr-deref, also see this report for more details[1]:

	0: (18) r1 = map_fd	        ; R1_w=map_ptr(ks=4, vs=4)
	2: (79) r6 = *(u64 *)(r1 +8)    ; R6_w=bpf_map-&gt;inner_map_data
					; R6 is PTR_TO_BTF_ID
					; equals to null at runtime
	3: (bf) r2 = r10
	4: (07) r2 += -4
	5: (62) *(u32 *)(r2 +0) = 0
	6: (85) call bpf_map_lookup_elem#1    ; R0_w=map_value_or_null
	7: (1d) if r6 == r0 goto pc+1
	8: (95) exit
	; from 7 to 9: R0=map_value R6=ptr_bpf_map
	9: (61) r0 = *(u32 *)(r0 +0)          ; null-ptr-deref
	10: (95) exit

So, make the verifier propagate nullness information for reg to reg
comparisons only if neither reg is PTR_TO_BTF_ID.

<title>bpf: use check_ids() for active_lock comparison</title>

<content type='text'>
An update for verifier.c:states_equal()/regsafe() to use check_ids()
for active spin lock comparisons. This fixes the issue reported by
Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi in [1] using technique suggested by Edward Cree.

W/o this commit the verifier might be tricked to accept the following
program working with a map containing spin locks:

  0: r9 = map_lookup_elem(...)  ; Returns PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL id=1.
  1: r8 = map_lookup_elem(...)  ; Returns PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL id=2.
  2: if r9 == 0 goto exit       ; r9 -&gt; PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE.
  3: if r8 == 0 goto exit       ; r8 -&gt; PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE.
  4: r7 = ktime_get_ns()        ; Unbound SCALAR_VALUE.
  5: r6 = ktime_get_ns()        ; Unbound SCALAR_VALUE.
  6: bpf_spin_lock(r8)          ; active_lock.id == 2.
  7: if r6 &gt; r7 goto +1         ; No new information about the state
                                ; is derived from this check, thus
                                ; produced verifier states differ only
                                ; in 'insn_idx'.
  8: r9 = r8                    ; Optionally make r9.id == r8.id.
  --- checkpoint ---            ; Assume is_state_visisted() creates a
                                ; checkpoint here.
  9: bpf_spin_unlock(r9)        ; (a,b) active_lock.id == 2.
                                ; (a) r9.id == 2, (b) r9.id == 1.
 10: exit(0)

Consider two verification paths:
(a) 0-10
(b) 0-7,9-10

The path (a) is verified first. If checkpoint is created at (8)
the (b) would assume that (8) is safe because regsafe() does not
compare register ids for registers of type PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE.

verifier.c:states_equal() must maintain register ID mapping across all
function frames. Otherwise the following example might be erroneously
marked as safe:

main:
    fp[-24] = map_lookup_elem(...)  ; frame[0].fp[-24].id == 1
    fp[-32] = map_lookup_elem(...)  ; frame[0].fp[-32].id == 2
    r1 = &amp;fp[-24]
    r2 = &amp;fp[-32]
    call foo()
    r0 = 0
    exit

foo:
  0: r9 = r1
  1: r8 = r2
  2: r7 = ktime_get_ns()
  3: r6 = ktime_get_ns()
  4: if (r6 &gt; r7) goto skip_assign
  5: r9 = r8

skip_assign:                ; &lt;--- checkpoint
  6: r9 = *r9               ; (a) frame[1].r9.id == 2
                            ; (b) frame[1].r9.id == 1

  7: if r9 == 0 goto exit:  ; mark_ptr_or_null_regs() transfers != 0 info
                            ; for all regs sharing ID:
                            ;   (a) r9 != 0 =&gt; &amp;frame[0].fp[-32] != 0
                            ;   (b) r9 != 0 =&gt; &amp;frame[0].fp[-24] != 0

  8: r8 = *r8               ; (a) r8 == &amp;frame[0].fp[-32]
                            ; (b) r8 == &amp;frame[0].fp[-32]
  9: r0 = *r8               ; (a) safe
                            ; (b) unsafe

exit:
 10: exit

While processing call to foo() verifier considers the following
execution paths:

(a) 0-10
(b) 0-4,6-10
(There is also path 0-7,10 but it is not interesting for the issue at
 hand. (a) is verified first.)

Suppose that checkpoint is created at (6) when path (a) is verified,
next path (b) is verified and (6) is reached.

If states_equal() maintains separate 'idmap' for each frame the
mapping at (6) for frame[1] would be empty and
regsafe(r9)::check_ids() would add a pair 2-&gt;1 and return true,
which is an error.

If states_equal() maintains single 'idmap' for all frames the mapping
at (6) would be { 1-&gt;1, 2-&gt;2 } and regsafe(r9)::check_ids() would
return false when trying to add a pair 2-&gt;1.

This issue was suggested in the following discussion:

<title>bpf: regsafe() must not skip check_ids()</title>

<id>7c884339bbff80250bfc11d56b5cf48640e6ebdb</id>
<content type='text'>
The verifier.c:regsafe() has the following shortcut:

	equal = memcmp(rold, rcur, offsetof(struct bpf_reg_state, parent)) == 0;
	...
	if (equal)
		return true;

Which is executed regardless old register type. This is incorrect for
register types that might have an ID checked by check_ids(), namely:
 - PTR_TO_MAP_KEY
 - PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE
 - PTR_TO_PACKET_META
 - PTR_TO_PACKET

The following pattern could be used to exploit this:

  0: r9 = map_lookup_elem(...)  ; Returns PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL id=1.
  1: r8 = map_lookup_elem(...)  ; Returns PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL id=2.
  2: r7 = ktime_get_ns()        ; Unbound SCALAR_VALUE.
  3: r6 = ktime_get_ns()        ; Unbound SCALAR_VALUE.
  4: if r6 &gt; r7 goto +1         ; No new information about the state
                                ; is derived from this check, thus
                                ; produced verifier states differ only
                                ; in 'insn_idx'.
  5: r9 = r8                    ; Optionally make r9.id == r8.id.
  --- checkpoint ---            ; Assume is_state_visisted() creates a
                                ; checkpoint here.
  6: if r9 == 0 goto &lt;exit&gt;     ; Nullness info is propagated to all
                                ; registers with matching ID.
  7: r1 = *(u64 *) r8           ; Not always safe.

Verifier first visits path 1-7 where r8 is verified to be not null
at (6). Later the jump from 4 to 6 is examined. The checkpoint for (6)
looks as follows:
  R8_rD=map_value_or_null(id=2,off=0,ks=4,vs=8,imm=0)
  R9_rwD=map_value_or_null(id=2,off=0,ks=4,vs=8,imm=0)
  R10=fp0

The current state is:
  R0=... R6=... R7=... fp-8=...
  R8=map_value_or_null(id=2,off=0,ks=4,vs=8,imm=0)
  R9=map_value_or_null(id=1,off=0,ks=4,vs=8,imm=0)
  R10=fp0

Note that R8 states are byte-to-byte identical, so regsafe() would
exit early and skip call to check_ids(), thus ID mapping 2-&gt;2 will not
be added to 'idmap'. Next, states for R9 are compared: these are not
identical and check_ids() is executed, but 'idmap' is empty, so
check_ids() adds mapping 2-&gt;1 to 'idmap' and returns success.

This commit pushes the 'equal' down to register types that don't need
check_ids().

register types that might have an ID checked by check_ids(), namely:
 - PTR_TO_MAP_KEY
 - PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE
 - PTR_TO_PACKET_META
 - PTR_TO_PACKET

The following pattern could be used to exploit this:

  0: r9 = map_lookup_elem(...)  ; Returns PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL id=1.
  1: r8 = map_lookup_elem(...)  ; Returns PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL id=2.
  2: r7 = ktime_get_ns()        ; Unbound SCALAR_VALUE.
  3: r6 = ktime_get_ns()        ; Unbound SCALAR_VALUE.
  4: if r6 &gt; r7 goto +1         ; No new information about the state
                                ; is derived from this check, thus
                                ; produced verifier states differ only
                                ; in 'insn_idx'.
  5: r9 = r8                    ; Optionally make r9.id == r8.id.
  --- checkpoint ---            ; Assume is_state_visisted() creates a
                                ; checkpoint here.
  6: if r9 == 0 goto &lt;exit&gt;     ; Nullness info is propagated to all
                                ; registers with matching ID.
  7: r1 = *(u64 *) r8           ; Not always safe.

Verifier first visits path 1-7 where r8 is verified to be not null
at (6). Later the jump from 4 to 6 is examined. The checkpoint for (6)
looks as follows:
  R8_rD=map_value_or_null(id=2,off=0,ks=4,vs=8,imm=0)
  R9_rwD=map_value_or_null(id=2,off=0,ks=4,vs=8,imm=0)
  R10=fp0

The current state is:
  R0=... R6=... R7=... fp-8=...
  R8=map_value_or_null(id=2,off=0,ks=4,vs=8,imm=0)
  R9=map_value_or_null(id=1,off=0,ks=4,vs=8,imm=0)
  R10=fp0

Note that R8 states are byte-to-byte identical, so regsafe() would
exit early and skip call to check_ids(), thus ID mapping 2-&gt;2 will not
be added to 'idmap'. Next, states for R9 are compared: these are not
identical and check_ids() is executed, but 'idmap' is empty, so
check_ids() adds mapping 2-&gt;1 to 'idmap' and returns success.

This commit pushes the 'equal' down to register types that don't need
check_ids().

<title>bpf: Move PTR_TO_STACK alignment check to process_dynptr_func</title>

After previous commit, we are minimizing helper specific assumptions
from check_func_arg_reg_off, making it generic, and offloading checks
for a specific argument type to their respective functions called after
check_func_arg_reg_off has been called.

This allows relying on a consistent set of guarantees after that call
and then relying on them in code that deals with registers for each
argument type later. This is in line with how process_spin_lock,
process_timer_func, process_kptr_func check reg-&gt;var_off to be constant.
The same reasoning is used here to move the alignment check into
process_dynptr_func. Note that it also needs to check for constant
var_off, and accumulate the constant var_off when computing the spi in
get_spi, but that fix will come in later changes.

While check_func_arg_reg_off is the place which performs generic checks
needed by various candidates of reg-&gt;type, there is some handling for
special cases, like ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR, OBJ_RELEASE, and
ARG_PTR_TO_RINGBUF_MEM.

This commit aims to streamline these special cases and instead leave
other things up to argument type specific code to handle. The function
will be restrictive by default, and cover all possible cases when
OBJ_RELEASE is set, without having to update the function again (and
missing to do that being a bug).

This is done primarily for two reasons: associating back reg-&gt;type to
its argument leaves room for the list getting out of sync when a new
reg-&gt;type is supported by an arg_type.

The other case is ARG_PTR_TO_RINGBUF_MEM. The problem there is something
we already handle, whenever a release argument is expected, it should
be passed as the pointer that was received from the acquire function.
Hence zero fixed and variable offset.

There is nothing special about ARG_PTR_TO_RINGBUF_MEM, where technically
its target register type PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RINGBUF can already be passed
with non-zero offset to other helper functions, which makes sense.

Hence, lift the arg_type_is_release check for reg-&gt;off and cover all
possible register types, instead of duplicating the same kind of check
twice for current OBJ_RELEASE arg_types (alloc_mem and ptr_to_btf_id).

For the release argument, arg_type_is_dynptr is the special case, where
we go to actual object being freed through the dynptr, so the offset of
the pointer still needs to allow fixed and variable offset and
process_dynptr_func will verify them later for the release argument case
as well.

This is not specific to ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR though, we will need to make
this exception for any future object on the stack that needs to be
released. In this sense, PTR_TO_STACK as a candidate for object on stack
argument is a special case for release offset checks, and they need to
be done by the helper releasing the object on stack.

Since the check has been lifted above all register type checks, remove
the duplicated check that is being done for PTR_TO_BTF_ID.
