[ Upstream commit ccff81e1d028bbbf8573d3364a87542386c707bf ]

kmemleak scans struct page, but it does not scan the page content. If we
allocate some memory with kmalloc(), then allocate page with alloc_page(),
and if we put kmalloc pointer somewhere inside that page, kmemleak will
report kmalloc pointer as a false positive.

We can instruct kmemleak to scan the memory area by calling kmemleak_alloc()
and kmemleak_free(), but part of struct bpf_ringbuf is mmaped to user space,
and if struct bpf_ringbuf changes we would have to revisit and review size
argument in kmemleak_alloc(), because we do not want kmemleak to scan the
user space memory. Let's simplify things and use kmemleak_not_leak() here.

For posterity, also adding additional prior analysis from Andrii:

  I think either kmemleak or syzbot are misreporting this. I've added a
  bunch of printks around all allocations performed by BPF ringbuf. [...]
  On repro side I get these two warnings:

  [vmuser@archvm bpf]$ sudo ./repro

  Note that both reported leaks (ffff88810d538c80 and ffff88810d538c00)
  correspond to pages array bpf_ringbuf is allocating and tracking properly
  internally. Note also that syzbot repro doesn't close FD of created BPF
  ringbufs, and even when ./repro itself exits with error, there are still
  two forked processes hanging around in my system. So clearly ringbuf maps
  are alive at that point. So reporting any memory leak looks weird at that
  point, because that memory is being used by active referenced BPF ringbuf.

  It's also a question why repro doesn't clean up its forks. But if I do a
  `pkill repro`, I do see that all the allocated memory is /properly/ cleaned
  up [and the] "leaks" are deallocated properly.

  BTW, if I add close() right after bpf() syscall in syzbot repro, I see that
  everything is immediately deallocated, like designed. And no memory leak
  is reported. So I don't think the problem is anywhere in bpf_ringbuf code,
  rather in the leak detection and/or repro itself.

Generally speaking, KUBSAN reports from the kernel should be fixed.
However, in case of BPF, this particular report caused concerns since
the large shift is not wrong from BPF point of view, just undefined.
In the verifier, K-based shifts that are &gt;= {64,32} (depending on the
bitwidth of the instruction) are already rejected. The register-based
cases were not given their content might not be known at verification
time. Ideas such as verifier instruction rewrite with an additional
AND instruction for the source register were brought up, but regularly
rejected due to the additional runtime overhead they incur.

As Edward Cree rightly put it:

  Shifts by more than insn bitness are legal in the BPF ISA; they are
  implementation-defined behaviour [of the underlying architecture],
  rather than UB, and have been made legal for performance reasons.
  Each of the JIT backends compiles the BPF shift operations to machine
  instructions which produce implementation-defined results in such a
  case; the resulting contents of the register may be arbitrary but
  program behaviour as a whole remains defined.

  Guard checks in the fast path (i.e. affecting JITted code) will thus
  not be accepted.

  The case of division by zero is not truly analogous here, as division
  instructions on many of the JIT-targeted architectures will raise a
  machine exception / fault on division by zero, whereas (to the best
  of my knowledge) none will do so on an out-of-bounds shift.

Given the KUBSAN report only affects the BPF interpreter, but not JITs,
one solution is to add the ANDs with 63 or 31 into ___bpf_prog_run().
That would make the shifts defined, and thus shuts up KUBSAN, and the
compiler would optimize out the AND on any CPU that interprets the shift
amounts modulo the width anyway (e.g., confirmed from disassembly that
on x86-64 and arm64 the generated interpreter code is the same before
and after this fix).

The BPF interpreter is slow path, and most likely compiled out anyway
as distros select BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON to avoid speculative execution of
BPF instructions by the interpreter. Given the main argument was to
avoid sacrificing performance, the fact that the AND is optimized away
from compiler for mainstream archs helps as well as a solution moving
forward. Also add a comment on LSH/RSH/ARSH translation for JIT authors
to provide guidance when they see the ___bpf_prog_run() interpreter
code and use it as a model for a new JIT backend.

[ Upstream commit 7506d211b932870155bcb39e3dd9e39fab45a7c7 ]

The sub-programs prog-&gt;aux-&gt;poke_tab[] is populated in jit_subprogs() and
then used when emitting 'BPF_JMP|BPF_TAIL_CALL' insn-&gt;code from the
individual JITs. The poke_tab[] to use is stored in the insn-&gt;imm by
the code adding it to that array slot. The JIT then uses imm to find the
right entry for an individual instruction. In the x86 bpf_jit_comp.c
this is done by calling emit_bpf_tail_call_direct with the poke_tab[]
of the imm value.

However, we observed the below null-ptr-deref when mixing tail call
programs with subprog programs. For this to happen we just need to
mix bpf-2-bpf calls and tailcalls with some extra calls or instructions
that would be patched later by one of the fixup routines. So whats
happening?

Before the fixup_call_args() -- where the jit op is done -- various
code patching is done by do_misc_fixups(). This may increase the
insn count, for example when we patch map_lookup_up using map_gen_lookup
hook. This does two things. First, it means the instruction index,
insn_idx field, of a tail call instruction will move by a 'delta'.

In verifier code,

 struct bpf_jit_poke_descriptor desc = {
  .reason = BPF_POKE_REASON_TAIL_CALL,
  .tail_call.map = BPF_MAP_PTR(aux-&gt;map_ptr_state),
  .tail_call.key = bpf_map_key_immediate(aux),
  .insn_idx = i + delta,
 };

Then subprog start values subprog_info[i].start will be updated
with the delta and any poke descriptor index will also be updated
with the delta in adjust_poke_desc(). If we look at the adjust
subprog starts though we see its only adjusted when the delta
occurs before the new instructions,

        /* NOTE: fake 'exit' subprog should be updated as well. */
        for (i = 0; i &lt;= env-&gt;subprog_cnt; i++) {
                if (env-&gt;subprog_info[i].start &lt;= off)
                        continue;

Earlier subprograms are not changed because their start values
are not moved. But, adjust_poke_desc() does the offset + delta
indiscriminately. The result is poke descriptors are potentially
corrupted.

Then in jit_subprogs() we only populate the poke_tab[]
when the above insn_idx is less than the next subprogram start. From
above we corrupted our insn_idx so we might incorrectly assume a
poke descriptor is not used in a subprogram omitting it from the
subprogram. And finally when the jit runs it does the deref of poke_tab
when emitting the instruction and crashes with below. Because earlier
step omitted the poke descriptor.

The fix is straight forward with above context. Simply move same logic
from adjust_subprog_starts() into adjust_poke_descs() and only adjust
insn_idx when needed.

[ Upstream commit 7dd5d437c258bbf4cc15b35229e5208b87b8b4e0 ]

In 32-bit architecture, the result of sizeof() is a 32-bit integer so
the expression becomes the multiplication between 2 32-bit integer which
can potentially leads to integer overflow. As a result,
bpf_map_area_alloc() allocates less memory than needed.

Fix this by casting 1 operand to u64.

[ Upstream commit 5dec6d96d12d33900ec315972c8e47a73bcc378d ]

This reverts commit d37300ed1821 ("bpf: program: Refuse non-O_RDWR flags
in BPF_OBJ_GET"). It breaks Android userspace which expects to be able to
fetch programs with just read permissions.

See: https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/+/master:frameworks/libs/net/common/native/bpf_syscall_wrappers/include/BpfSyscallWrappers.h;drc=7005c764be23d31fa1d69e826b4a2f6689a8c81e;l=124

Side-note: another option to fix it would be to extend bpf_prog_new_fd()
and to pass in used file mode flags in the same way as we do for maps via
bpf_map_new_fd(). Meaning, they'd end up in anon_inode_getfd() and thus
would be retained for prog fd operations with bpf() syscall. Right now
these flags are not checked with progs since they are immutable for their
lifetime (as opposed to maps which can be updated from user space). In
future this could potentially change with new features, but at that point
it's still fine to do the bpf_prog_new_fd() extension when needed. For a
simple stable fix, a revert is less churn.

... in such circumstances, we do not want to mark the instruction as seen given
the goal is still to jmp-1 rewrite/sanitize dead code, if it is not reachable
from the non-speculative path verification. We do however want to verify it for
safety regardless.

With the patch as-is all the insns that have been marked as seen before the
patch will also be marked as seen after the patch (just with a potentially
different non-zero count). An upcoming patch will also verify paths that are
unreachable in the non-speculative domain, hence this extension is needed.

Instead of relying on current env-&gt;pass_cnt, use the seen count from the
old aux data in adjust_insn_aux_data(), and expand it to the new range of
patched instructions. This change is valid given we always expand 1:n
with n&gt;=1, so what applies to the old/original instruction needs to apply
for the replacement as well.

Not relying on env-&gt;pass_cnt is a prerequisite for a later change where we
want to avoid marking an instruction seen when verified under speculative
execution path.

[ Upstream commit 9183671af6dbf60a1219371d4ed73e23f43b49db ]

The verifier only enumerates valid control-flow paths and skips paths that
are unreachable in the non-speculative domain. And so it can miss issues
under speculative execution on mispredicted branches.

For example, a type confusion has been demonstrated with the following
crafted program:

  // r0 = pointer to a map array entry
  // r6 = pointer to readable stack slot
  // r9 = scalar controlled by attacker
  1: r0 = *(u64 *)(r0) // cache miss
  2: if r0 != 0x0 goto line 4
  3: r6 = r9
  4: if r0 != 0x1 goto line 6
  5: r9 = *(u8 *)(r6)
  6: // leak r9

Since line 3 runs iff r0 == 0 and line 5 runs iff r0 == 1, the verifier
concludes that the pointer dereference on line 5 is safe. But: if the
attacker trains both the branches to fall-through, such that the following
is speculatively executed ...

  r6 = r9
  r9 = *(u8 *)(r6)
  // leak r9

... then the program will dereference an attacker-controlled value and could
leak its content under speculative execution via side-channel. This requires
to mistrain the branch predictor, which can be rather tricky, because the
branches are mutually exclusive. However such training can be done at
congruent addresses in user space using different branches that are not
mutually exclusive. That is, by training branches in user space ...

  A:  if r0 != 0x0 goto line C
  B:  ...
  C:  if r0 != 0x0 goto line D
  D:  ...

... such that addresses A and C collide to the same CPU branch prediction
entries in the PHT (pattern history table) as those of the BPF program's
lines 2 and 4, respectively. A non-privileged attacker could simply brute
force such collisions in the PHT until observing the attack succeeding.

Alternative methods to mistrain the branch predictor are also possible that
avoid brute forcing the collisions in the PHT. A reliable attack has been
demonstrated, for example, using the following crafted program:

  // r0 = pointer to a [control] map array entry
  // r7 = *(u64 *)(r0 + 0), training/attack phase
  // r8 = *(u64 *)(r0 + 8), oob address
  // [...]
  // r0 = pointer to a [data] map array entry
  1: if r7 == 0x3 goto line 3
  2: r8 = r0
  // crafted sequence of conditional jumps to separate the conditional
  // branch in line 193 from the current execution flow
  3: if r0 != 0x0 goto line 5
  4: if r0 == 0x0 goto exit
  5: if r0 != 0x0 goto line 7
  6: if r0 == 0x0 goto exit
  [...]
  187: if r0 != 0x0 goto line 189
  188: if r0 == 0x0 goto exit
  // load any slowly-loaded value (due to cache miss in phase 3) ...
  189: r3 = *(u64 *)(r0 + 0x1200)
  // ... and turn it into known zero for verifier, while preserving slowly-
  // loaded dependency when executing:
  190: r3 &amp;= 1
  191: r3 &amp;= 2
  // speculatively bypassed phase dependency
  192: r7 += r3
  193: if r7 == 0x3 goto exit
  194: r4 = *(u8 *)(r8 + 0)
  // leak r4

As can be seen, in training phase (phase != 0x3), the condition in line 1
turns into false and therefore r8 with the oob address is overridden with
the valid map value address, which in line 194 we can read out without
issues. However, in attack phase, line 2 is skipped, and due to the cache
miss in line 189 where the map value is (zeroed and later) added to the
phase register, the condition in line 193 takes the fall-through path due
to prior branch predictor training, where under speculation, it'll load the
byte at oob address r8 (unknown scalar type at that point) which could then
be leaked via side-channel.

One way to mitigate these is to 'branch off' an unreachable path, meaning,
the current verification path keeps following the is_branch_taken() path
and we push the other branch to the verification stack. Given this is
unreachable from the non-speculative domain, this branch's vstate is
explicitly marked as speculative. This is needed for two reasons: i) if
this path is solely seen from speculative execution, then we later on still
want the dead code elimination to kick in in order to sanitize these
instructions with jmp-1s, and ii) to ensure that paths walked in the
non-speculative domain are not pruned from earlier walks of paths walked in
the speculative domain. Additionally, for robustness, we mark the registers
which have been part of the conditional as unknown in the speculative path
given there should be no assumptions made on their content.

The fix in here mitigates type confusion attacks described earlier due to
i) all code paths in the BPF program being explored and ii) existing
verifier logic already ensuring that given memory access instruction
references one specific data structure.

An alternative to this fix that has also been looked at in this scope was to
mark aux-&gt;alu_state at the jump instruction with a BPF_JMP_TAKEN state as
well as direction encoding (always-goto, always-fallthrough, unknown), such
that mixing of different always-* directions themselves as well as mixing of
always-* with unknown directions would cause a program rejection by the
verifier, e.g. programs with constructs like 'if ([...]) { x = 0; } else
{ x = 1; }' with subsequent 'if (x == 1) { [...] }'. For unprivileged, this
would result in only single direction always-* taken paths, and unknown taken
paths being allowed, such that the former could be patched from a conditional
jump to an unconditional jump (ja). Compared to this approach here, it would
have two downsides: i) valid programs that otherwise are not performing any
pointer arithmetic, etc, would potentially be rejected/broken, and ii) we are
required to turn off path pruning for unprivileged, where both can be avoided
in this work through pushing the invalid branch to the verification stack.

The issue was originally discovered by Adam and Ofek, and later independently
discovered and reported as a result of Benedict and Piotr's research work.

[ Upstream commit 35e3815fa8102fab4dee75f3547472c66581125d ]

The recursion check in __bpf_prog_enter and __bpf_prog_exit
leaves some (not inlined) functions unprotected:

In __bpf_prog_enter:
  - migrate_disable is called before prog-&gt;active is checked

In __bpf_prog_exit:
  - migrate_enable,rcu_read_unlock_strict are called after
    prog-&gt;active is decreased

When attaching trampoline to them we get panic like:

  traps: PANIC: double fault, error_code: 0x0
  double fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
  RIP: 0010:__bpf_prog_enter+0x4/0x50
  ...
  Call Trace:
   &lt;IRQ&gt;

Fixing this by adding deny list of btf ids for tracing
programs and checking btf id during program verification.
Adding above functions to this list.

[ Upstream commit 31379397dcc364a59ce764fabb131b645c43e340 ]

We can't currently allow to attach functions with variable arguments.
The problem is that we should save all the registers for arguments,
which is probably doable, but if caller uses more than 6 arguments,
we need stack data, which will be wrong, because of the extra stack
frame we do in bpf trampoline, so we could crash.

Also currently there's malformed trampoline code generated for such
functions at the moment as described in:
