[ Upstream commit 6ebc5030e0c5a698f1dd9a6684cddf6ccaed64a0 ]

may_goto uses an additional 8 bytes on the stack, which causes the
interpreters[] array to go out of bounds when calculating index by
stack_size.

1. If a BPF program is rewritten, re-evaluate the stack size. For non-JIT
cases, reject loading directly.

2. For non-JIT cases, calculating interpreters[idx] may still cause
out-of-bounds array access, and just warn about it.

3. For jit_requested cases, the execution of bpf_func also needs to be
warned. So move the definition of function __bpf_prog_ret0_warn out of
the macro definition CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON.

<title>bpf: skip non exist keys in generic_map_lookup_batch</title>

[ Upstream commit 5644c6b50ffee0a56c1e01430a8c88e34decb120 ]

The generic_map_lookup_batch currently returns EINTR if it fails with
ENOENT and retries several times on bpf_map_copy_value. The next batch
would start from the same location, presuming it's a transient issue.
This is incorrect if a map can actually have "holes", i.e.
"get_next_key" can return a key that does not point to a valid value. At
least the array of maps type may contain such holes legitly. Right now
these holes show up, generic batch lookup cannot proceed any more. It
will always fail with EINTR errors.

Rather, do not retry in generic_map_lookup_batch. If it finds a non
existing element, skip to the next key. This simple solution comes with
a price that transient errors may not be recovered, and the iteration
might cycle back to the first key under parallel deletion. For example,
Hou Tao &lt;houtao@huaweicloud.com&gt; pointed out a following scenario:

For LPM trie map:
(1) -&gt;map_get_next_key(map, prev_key, key) returns a valid key

(2) bpf_map_copy_value() return -ENOMENT
It means the key must be deleted concurrently.

(3) goto next_key
It swaps the prev_key and key

(4) -&gt;map_get_next_key(map, prev_key, key) again
prev_key points to a non-existing key, for LPM trie it will treat just
like prev_key=NULL case, the returned key will be duplicated.

With the retry logic, the iteration can continue to the key next to the
deleted one. But if we directly skip to the next key, the iteration loop
would restart from the first key for the lpm_trie type.

However, not all races may be recovered. For example, if current key is
deleted after instead of before bpf_map_copy_value, or if the prev_key
also gets deleted, then the loop will still restart from the first key
for lpm_tire anyway. For generic lookup it might be better to stay
simple, i.e. just skip to the next key. To guarantee that the output
keys are not duplicated, it is better to implement map type specific
batch operations, which can properly lock the trie and synchronize with
concurrent mutators.

[ Upstream commit 517e8a7835e8cfb398a0aeb0133de50e31cae32b ]

On an aarch64 kernel with CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_64KB=y,
arena_htab tests cause a segmentation fault and soft lockup.
The same failure is not observed with 4k pages on aarch64.

It turns out arena_map_free() is calling
apply_to_existing_page_range() with the address returned by
bpf_arena_get_kern_vm_start().  If this address is not page-aligned
the code ends up calling apply_to_pte_range() with that unaligned
address causing soft lockup.

Fix it by round up GUARD_SZ to PAGE_SIZE &lt;&lt; 1 so that the
division by 2 in bpf_arena_get_kern_vm_start() returns
a page-aligned value.

[ Upstream commit 5da7e15fb5a12e78de974d8908f348e279922ce9 ]

Yan Zhai reported a BPF prog could trigger a null-ptr-deref [0]
in trace_kfree_skb if the prog does not check if rx_sk is NULL.

Commit c53795d48ee8 ("net: add rx_sk to trace_kfree_skb") added
rx_sk to trace_kfree_skb, but rx_sk is optional and could be NULL.

Let's add kfree_skb to raw_tp_null_args[] to let the BPF verifier
validate such a prog and prevent the issue.

Now we fail to load such a prog:

  libbpf: prog 'drop': -- BEGIN PROG LOAD LOG --
  0: R1=ctx() R10=fp0
  ; int BPF_PROG(drop, struct sk_buff *skb, void *location, @ kfree_skb_sk_null.bpf.c:21
  0: (79) r3 = *(u64 *)(r1 +24)
  func 'kfree_skb' arg3 has btf_id 5253 type STRUCT 'sock'
  1: R1=ctx() R3_w=trusted_ptr_or_null_sock(id=1)
  ; bpf_printk("sk: %d, %d\n", sk, sk-&gt;__sk_common.skc_family); @ kfree_skb_sk_null.bpf.c:24

  processed 2 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 0 total_states 0 peak_states 0 mark_read 0
  -- END PROG LOAD LOG --

Note this fix requires commit 838a10bd2ebf ("bpf: Augment raw_tp

[ Upstream commit c78f4afbd962f43a3989f45f3ca04300252b19b5 ]

The following commit
bc235cdb423a ("bpf: Prevent deadlock from recursive bpf_task_storage_[get|delete]")
first introduced deadlock prevention for fentry/fexit programs attaching
on bpf_task_storage helpers. That commit also employed the logic in map
free path in its v6 version.

Later bpf_cgrp_storage was first introduced in
c4bcfb38a95e ("bpf: Implement cgroup storage available to non-cgroup-attached bpf progs")
which faces the same issue as bpf_task_storage, instead of its busy
counter, NULL was passed to bpf_local_storage_map_free() which opened
a window to cause deadlock:

	ret_from_fork+0x34/0x50
	ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30
	&lt;/TASK&gt;

Progs:
 - A: SEC("fentry/cgroup_storage_ptr")
   - cgid (BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH)
	Record the id of the cgroup the current task belonging
	to in this hash map, using the address of the cgroup
	as the map key.
   - cgrpa (BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE)
	If current task is a kworker, lookup the above hash
	map using function parameter @owner as the key to get
	its corresponding cgroup id which is then used to get
	a trusted pointer to the cgroup through
	bpf_cgroup_from_id(). This trusted pointer can then

[ Upstream commit c78f4afbd962f43a3989f45f3ca04300252b19b5 ]

The following commit
bc235cdb423a ("bpf: Prevent deadlock from recursive bpf_task_storage_[get|delete]")
first introduced deadlock prevention for fentry/fexit programs attaching
on bpf_task_storage helpers. That commit also employed the logic in map
free path in its v6 version.

Later bpf_cgrp_storage was first introduced in
c4bcfb38a95e ("bpf: Implement cgroup storage available to non-cgroup-attached bpf progs")
which faces the same issue as bpf_task_storage, instead of its busy
counter, NULL was passed to bpf_local_storage_map_free() which opened
a window to cause deadlock:

[ Upstream commit bc27c52eea189e8f7492d40739b7746d67b65beb ]

We use map-&gt;freeze_mutex to prevent races between map_freeze() and
memory mapping BPF map contents with writable permissions. The way we
naively do this means we'll hold freeze_mutex for entire duration of all
the mm and VMA manipulations, which is completely unnecessary. This can
potentially also lead to deadlocks, as reported by syzbot in [0].

So, instead, hold freeze_mutex only during writeability checks, bump
(proactively) "write active" count for the map, unlock the mutex and
proceed with mmap logic. And only if something went wrong during mmap
logic, then undo that "write active" counter increment.

<title>bpf: unify VM_WRITE vs VM_MAYWRITE use in BPF map mmaping logic</title>

[ Upstream commit 98671a0fd1f14e4a518ee06b19037c20014900eb ]

For all BPF maps we ensure that VM_MAYWRITE is cleared when
memory-mapping BPF map contents as initially read-only VMA. This is
because in some cases BPF verifier relies on the underlying data to not
be modified afterwards by user space, so once something is mapped
read-only, it shouldn't be re-mmap'ed as read-write.

As such, it's not necessary to check VM_MAYWRITE in bpf_map_mmap() and
map-&gt;ops-&gt;map_mmap() callbacks: VM_WRITE should be consistently set for
read-write mappings, and if VM_WRITE is not set, there is no way for
user space to upgrade read-only mapping to read-write one.

This patch cleans up this VM_WRITE vs VM_MAYWRITE handling within
bpf_map_mmap(), which is an entry point for any BPF map mmap()-ing
logic. We also drop unnecessary sanitization of VM_MAYWRITE in BPF
ringbuf's map_mmap() callback implementation, as it is already performed
by common code in bpf_map_mmap().

Note, though, that in bpf_map_mmap_{open,close}() callbacks we can't
drop VM_MAYWRITE use, because it's possible (and is outside of
subsystem's control) to have initially read-write memory mapping, which
is subsequently dropped to read-only by user space through mprotect().
In such case, from BPF verifier POV it's read-write data throughout the
lifetime of BPF map, and is counted as "active writer".

But its VMAs will start out as VM_WRITE|VM_MAYWRITE, then mprotect() can
change it to just VM_MAYWRITE (and no VM_WRITE), so when its finally
munmap()'ed and bpf_map_mmap_close() is called, vm_flags will be just
VM_MAYWRITE, but we still need to decrement active writer count with
bpf_map_write_active_dec() as it's still considered to be a read-write
mapping by the rest of BPF subsystem.

Similar reasoning applies to bpf_map_mmap_open(), which is called
whenever mmap(), munmap(), and/or mprotect() forces mm subsystem to
split original VMA into multiple discontiguous VMAs.

Memory-mapping handling is a bit tricky, yes.

[ Upstream commit 58f038e6d209d2dd862fcf5de55407855856794d ]

During the update procedure, when overwrite element in a pre-allocated
htab, the freeing of old_element is protected by the bucket lock. The
reason why the bucket lock is necessary is that the old_element has
already been stashed in htab-&gt;extra_elems after alloc_htab_elem()
returns. If freeing the old_element after the bucket lock is unlocked,
the stashed element may be reused by concurrent update procedure and the
freeing of old_element will run concurrently with the reuse of the
old_element. However, the invocation of check_and_free_fields() may
acquire a spin-lock which violates the lockdep rule because its caller
has already held a raw-spin-lock (bucket lock). The following warning
will be reported when such race happens:

It seems feasible to break the reuse and refill of per-cpu extra_elems
into two independent parts: reuse the per-cpu extra_elems with bucket
lock being held and refill the old_element as per-cpu extra_elems after
the bucket lock is unlocked. However, it will make the concurrent
overwrite procedures on the same CPU return unexpected -E2BIG error when
the map is full.

Therefore, the patch fixes the lock problem by breaking the cancelling
of bpf_timer into two steps for PREEMPT_RT:
1) use hrtimer_try_to_cancel() and check its return value
2) if the timer is running, use hrtimer_cancel() through a kworker to
   cancel it again
Considering that the current implementation of hrtimer_cancel() will try
to acquire a being held softirq_expiry_lock when the current timer is
running, these steps above are reasonable. However, it also has
downside. When the timer is running, the cancelling of the timer is
delayed when releasing the last map uref. The delay is also fixable
(e.g., break the cancelling of bpf timer into two parts: one part in
locked scope, another one in unlocked scope), it can be revised later if
necessary.

It is a bit hard to decide the right fix tag. One reason is that the
problem depends on PREEMPT_RT which is enabled in v6.12. Considering the
softirq_expiry_lock lock exists since v5.4 and bpf_timer is introduced
in v5.15, the bpf_timer commit is used in the fixes tag and an extra
depends-on tag is added to state the dependency on PREEMPT_RT.

It seems feasible to break the reuse and refill of per-cpu extra_elems
into two independent parts: reuse the per-cpu extra_elems with bucket
lock being held and refill the old_element as per-cpu extra_elems after
the bucket lock is unlocked. However, it will make the concurrent
overwrite procedures on the same CPU return unexpected -E2BIG error when
the map is full.

Therefore, the patch fixes the lock problem by breaking the cancelling
of bpf_timer into two steps for PREEMPT_RT:
1) use hrtimer_try_to_cancel() and check its return value
2) if the timer is running, use hrtimer_cancel() through a kworker to
   cancel it again
Considering that the current implementation of hrtimer_cancel() will try
to acquire a being held softirq_expiry_lock when the current timer is
running, these steps above are reasonable. However, it also has
downside. When the timer is running, the cancelling of the timer is
delayed when releasing the last map uref. The delay is also fixable
(e.g., break the cancelling of bpf timer into two parts: one part in
locked scope, another one in unlocked scope), it can be revised later if
necessary.

It is a bit hard to decide the right fix tag. One reason is that the
problem depends on PREEMPT_RT which is enabled in v6.12. Considering the
softirq_expiry_lock lock exists since v5.4 and bpf_timer is introduced
in v5.15, the bpf_timer commit is used in the fixes tag and an extra
depends-on tag is added to state the dependency on PREEMPT_RT.

Fixes: b00628b1c7d5 ("bpf: Introduce bpf timers.")
Depends-on: v6.12+ with PREEMPT_RT enabled

<title>bpf: Reject struct_ops registration that uses module ptr and the module btf_id is missing</title>

[ Upstream commit 96ea081ed52bf077cad6d00153b6fba68e510767 ]

There is a UAF report in the bpf_struct_ops when CONFIG_MODULES=n.
In particular, the report is on tcp_congestion_ops that has
a "struct module *owner" member.

For struct_ops that has a "struct module *owner" member,
it can be extended either by the regular kernel module or
by the bpf_struct_ops. bpf_try_module_get() will be used
to do the refcounting and different refcount is done
based on the owner pointer. When CONFIG_MODULES=n,
the btf_id of the "struct module" is missing:

WARN: resolve_btfids: unresolved symbol module

Thus, the bpf_try_module_get() cannot do the correct refcounting.

Not all subsystem's struct_ops requires the "struct module *owner" member.
e.g. the recent sched_ext_ops.

This patch is to disable bpf_struct_ops registration if
the struct_ops has the "struct module *" member and the
"struct module" btf_id is missing. The btf_type_is_fwd() helper
is moved to the btf.h header file for this test.

This has happened since the beginning of bpf_struct_ops which has gone
through many changes. The Fixes tag is set to a recent commit that this
patch can apply cleanly. Considering CONFIG_MODULES=n is not
common and the age of the issue, targeting for bpf-next also.
