[ Upstream commit 6aff67c85c9e5a4bc99e5211c1bac547936626ca ]

The commit 35578d798400 ("bpf: Implement function bpf_perf_event_read() that get the selected hardware PMU conuter")
introduced clever way to check bpf_helper&lt;-&gt;map_type compatibility.
Later on commit a43eec304259 ("bpf: introduce bpf_perf_event_output() helper") adjusted
the logic and inadvertently broke it.
Get rid of the clever bool compare and go back to two-way check
from map and from helper perspective.

On a system with &gt;32Gbyte of phyiscal memory and infinite RLIMIT_MEMLOCK,
the malicious application may overflow 32-bit bpf program refcnt.
It's also possible to overflow map refcnt on 1Tb system.
Impose 32k hard limit which means that the same bpf program or

[ Upstream commit 8358b02bf67d3a5d8a825070e1aa73f25fb2e4c7 ]

When bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, ...) was invoked with a BPF program whose bytecode
references a non-map file descriptor as a map file descriptor, the error
handling code called fdput() twice instead of once (in __bpf_map_get() and
in replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr()). If the file descriptor table of the
current task is shared, this causes f_count to be decremented too much,
allowing the struct file to be freed while it is still in use
(use-after-free). This can be exploited to gain root privileges by an
unprivileged user.

This bug was introduced in
commit 0246e64d9a5f ("bpf: handle pseudo BPF_LD_IMM64 insn"), but is only
exploitable since
commit 1be7f75d1668 ("bpf: enable non-root eBPF programs") because
previously, CAP_SYS_ADMIN was required to reach the vulnerable code.

[ Upstream commit cdc4e47da8f4c32eeb6b2061a8a834f4362a12b7 ]

Lots of places in the kernel use memcpy(buf, comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); but
the result is typically passed to print("%s", buf) and extra bytes
after zero don't cause any harm.
In bpf the result of bpf_get_current_comm() is used as the part of
map key and was causing spurious hash map mismatches.
Use strlcpy() to guarantee zero-terminated string.
bpf verifier checks that output buffer is zero-initialized,
so even for short task names the output buffer don't have junk bytes.
Note it's not a security concern, since kprobe+bpf is root only.

<title>bpf: fix branch offset adjustment on backjumps after patching ctx expansion</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=a1b14d27ed0965838350f1377ff97c93ee383492'/>
<id>a1b14d27ed0965838350f1377ff97c93ee383492</id>
<content type='text'>
When ctx access is used, the kernel often needs to expand/rewrite
instructions, so after that patching, branch offsets have to be
adjusted for both forward and backward jumps in the new eBPF program,
but for backward jumps it fails to account the delta. Meaning, for
example, if the expansion happens exactly on the insn that sits at
the jump target, it doesn't fix up the back jump offset.

Analysis on what the check in adjust_branches() is currently doing:

  /* adjust offset of jmps if necessary */
  if (i &lt; pos &amp;&amp; i + insn-&gt;off + 1 &gt; pos)
    insn-&gt;off += delta;
  else if (i &gt; pos &amp;&amp; i + insn-&gt;off + 1 &lt; pos)
    insn-&gt;off -= delta;

First condition (forward jumps):

  Before:                         After:

  insns[0]                        insns[0]
  insns[1] &lt;--- i/insn            insns[1] &lt;--- i/insn
  insns[2] &lt;--- pos               insns[P] &lt;--- pos
  insns[3]                        insns[P]  `------| delta
  insns[4] &lt;--- target_X          insns[P]   `-----|
  insns[5]                        insns[3]
                                  insns[4] &lt;--- target_X
                                  insns[5]

First case is if we cross pos-boundary and the jump instruction was
before pos. This is handeled correctly. I.e. if i == pos, then this
would mean our jump that we currently check was the patchlet itself
that we just injected. Since such patchlets are self-contained and
have no awareness of any insns before or after the patched one, the
delta is correctly not adjusted. Also, for the second condition in
case of i + insn-&gt;off + 1 == pos, means we jump to that newly patched
instruction, so no offset adjustment are needed. That part is correct.

Second condition (backward jumps):

  Before:                         After:

  insns[0]                        insns[0]
  insns[1] &lt;--- target_X          insns[1] &lt;--- target_X
  insns[2] &lt;--- pos &lt;-- target_Y  insns[P] &lt;--- pos &lt;-- target_Y
  insns[3]                        insns[P]  `------| delta
  insns[4] &lt;--- i/insn            insns[P]   `-----|
  insns[5]                        insns[3]
                                  insns[4] &lt;--- i/insn
                                  insns[5]

Second interesting case is where we cross pos-boundary and the jump
instruction was after pos. Backward jump with i == pos would be
impossible and pose a bug somewhere in the patchlet, so the first
condition checking i &gt; pos is okay only by itself. However, i +
insn-&gt;off + 1 &lt; pos does not always work as intended to trigger the
adjustment. It works when jump targets would be far off where the
delta wouldn't matter. But, for example, where the fixed insn-&gt;off
before pointed to pos (target_Y), it now points to pos + delta, so
that additional room needs to be taken into account for the check.
This means that i) both tests here need to be adjusted into pos + delta,
and ii) for the second condition, the test needs to be &lt;= as pos
itself can be a target in the backjump, too.

On ARM64, a BUG() is triggered in the eBPF JIT if a filter with a
constant shift that can't be encoded in the immediate field of the
UBFM/SBFM instructions is passed to the JIT.  Since these shifts
amounts, which are negative or &gt;= regsize, are invalid, reject them in
the eBPF verifier and the classic BPF filter checker, for all
architectures.

Both htab_map_update_elem() and htab_map_delete_elem() can be
called from eBPF program, and they may be in kernel hot path,
so it isn't efficient to use a per-hashtable lock in this two
helpers.

The per-hashtable spinlock is used for protecting bucket's
hlist, and per-bucket lock is just enough. This patch converts
the per-hashtable lock into per-bucket spinlock, so that
contention can be decreased a lot.

The spinlock is just used for protecting the per-bucket
hlist, so it isn't needed for selecting bucket.
