[ Upstream commit e89f3edffb860a0f54a9ed16deadb7a4a1fa3862 ]

In [0], we added the ability to bpf_prog_attach LSM programs to cgroups,
but in our validation to make sure the prog is meant to be attached to
BPF_LSM_CGROUP, we return too early if the check fails. This results in
lack of decrementing prog's refcnt (through bpf_prog_put)
leaving the LSM program alive past the point of the expected lifecycle.
This fix allows for the decrement to take place.

<title>bpf: Do not zero-extend kfunc return values</title>

[ Upstream commit d35af0a7feb077c43ff0233bba5a8c6e75b73e35 ]

In BPF all global functions, and BPF helpers return a 64-bit
value. For kfunc calls, this is not the case, and they can return
e.g. 32-bit values.

The return register R0 for kfuncs calls can therefore be marked as
subreg_def != DEF_NOT_SUBREG. In general, if a register is marked with
subreg_def != DEF_NOT_SUBREG, some archs (where bpf_jit_needs_zext()
returns true) require the verifier to insert explicit zero-extension
instructions.

For kfuncs calls, however, the caller should do sign/zero extension
for return values. In other words, the compiler is responsible to
insert proper instructions, not the verifier.

An example, provided by Yonghong Song:

$ cat t.c
extern unsigned foo(void);
unsigned bar1(void) {
     return foo();
}
unsigned bar2(void) {
     if (foo()) return 10; else return 20;
}

$ clang -target bpf -mcpu=v3 -O2 -c t.c &amp;&amp; llvm-objdump -d t.o
t.o:    file format elf64-bpf

	7:       95 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 exit

If the return value of 'foo()' is used in the BPF program, the proper
zero-extension will be done.

Currently, the verifier correctly marks, say, a 32-bit return value as
subreg_def != DEF_NOT_SUBREG, but will fail performing the actual
zero-extension, due to a verifier bug in
opt_subreg_zext_lo32_rnd_hi32(). load_reg is not properly set to R0,
and the following path will be taken:

		if (WARN_ON(load_reg == -1)) {
			verbose(env, "verifier bug. zext_dst is set, but no reg is defined\n");
			return -EFAULT;
		}

A longer discussion from v1 can be found in the link below.

Correct the verifier by avoiding doing explicit zero-extension of R0
for kfunc calls. Note that R0 will still be marked as a sub-register
for return values smaller than 64-bit.

<title>bpf: propagate precision across all frames, not just the last one</title>

[ Upstream commit 529409ea92d590659be487ba0839710329bd8074 ]

When equivalent completed state is found and it has additional precision
restrictions, BPF verifier propagates precision to
currently-being-verified state chain (i.e., including parent states) so
that if some of the states in the chain are not yet completed, necessary
precision restrictions are enforced.

Unfortunately, right now this happens only for the last frame (deepest
active subprogram's frame), not all the frames. This can lead to
incorrect matching of states due to missing precision marker. Currently
this doesn't seem possible as BPF verifier forces everything to precise
when validated BPF program has any subprograms. But with the next patch
lifting this restriction, this becomes problematic.

In fact, without this fix, we'll start getting failure in one of the
existing test_verifier test cases:

  #906/p precise: cross frame pruning FAIL
  Unexpected success to load!
  verification time 48 usec
  stack depth 0+0
  processed 26 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 3 total_states 17 peak_states 17 mark_read 8

This patch adds precision propagation across all frames.

<title>bpf: propagate precision in ALU/ALU64 operations</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit a3b666bfa9c9edc05bca62a87abafe0936bd7f97 ]

When processing ALU/ALU64 operations (apart from BPF_MOV, which is
handled correctly already; and BPF_NEG and BPF_END are special and don't
have source register), if destination register is already marked
precise, this causes problem with potentially missing precision tracking
for the source register. E.g., when we have r1 &gt;&gt;= r5 and r1 is marked
precise, but r5 isn't, this will lead to r5 staying as imprecise. This
is due to the precision backtracking logic stopping early when it sees
r1 is already marked precise. If r1 wasn't precise, we'd keep
backtracking and would add r5 to the set of registers that need to be
marked precise. So there is a discrepancy here which can lead to invalid
and incompatible states matched due to lack of precision marking on r5.
If r1 wasn't precise, precision backtracking would correctly mark both
r1 and r5 as precise.

This is simple to fix, though. During the forward instruction simulation
pass, for arithmetic operations of `scalar &lt;op&gt;= scalar` form (where
&lt;op&gt; is ALU or ALU64 operations), if destination register is already
precise, mark source register as precise. This applies only when both
involved registers are SCALARs. `ptr += scalar` and `scalar += ptr`
cases are already handled correctly.

This does have (negative) effect on some selftest programs and few
Cilium programs.  ~/baseline-tmp-results.csv are veristat results with
this patch, while ~/baseline-results.csv is without it. See post
scriptum for instructions on how to make Cilium programs testable with
veristat. Correctness has a price.

[ Upstream commit a3b666bfa9c9edc05bca62a87abafe0936bd7f97 ]

When processing ALU/ALU64 operations (apart from BPF_MOV, which is
handled correctly already; and BPF_NEG and BPF_END are special and don't
have source register), if destination register is already marked
precise, this causes problem with potentially missing precision tracking
for the source register. E.g., when we have r1 &gt;&gt;= r5 and r1 is marked
precise, but r5 isn't, this will lead to r5 staying as imprecise. This
is due to the precision backtracking logic stopping early when it sees
r1 is already marked precise. If r1 wasn't precise, we'd keep
backtracking and would add r5 to the set of registers that need to be
marked precise. So there is a discrepancy here which can lead to invalid
and incompatible states matched due to lack of precision marking on r5.
If r1 wasn't precise, precision backtracking would correctly mark both
r1 and r5 as precise.

This is simple to fix, though. During the forward instruction simulation
pass, for arithmetic operations of `scalar &lt;op&gt;= scalar` form (where
&lt;op&gt; is ALU or ALU64 operations), if destination register is already
precise, mark source register as precise. This applies only when both
involved registers are SCALARs. `ptr += scalar` and `scalar += ptr`
cases are already handled correctly.

This does have (negative) effect on some selftest programs and few
Cilium programs.  ~/baseline-tmp-results.csv are veristat results with
this patch, while ~/baseline-results.csv is without it. See post
scriptum for instructions on how to make Cilium programs testable with
veristat. Correctness has a price.

[ Upstream commit f5e477a861e4a20d8a1c5f7a245f3a3c3c376b03 ]

For the case where allow_ptr_leaks is false, code is checking whether
slot type is STACK_INVALID and STACK_SPILL and rejecting other cases.
This is a consequence of incorrectly checking for register type instead
of the slot type (NOT_INIT and SCALAR_VALUE respectively). Fix the
check.

<title>bpf: Clobber stack slot when writing over spilled PTR_TO_BTF_ID</title>

[ Upstream commit 261f4664caffdeb9dff4e83ee3c0334b1c3a552f ]

When support was added for spilled PTR_TO_BTF_ID to be accessed by
helper memory access, the stack slot was not overwritten to STACK_MISC
(and that too is only safe when env-&gt;allow_ptr_leaks is true).

This means that helpers who take ARG_PTR_TO_MEM and write to it may
essentially overwrite the value while the verifier continues to track
the slot for spilled register.

This can cause issues when PTR_TO_BTF_ID is spilled to stack, and then
overwritten by helper write access, which can then be passed to BPF
helpers or kfuncs.

Handle this by falling back to the case introduced in a later commit,
which will also handle PTR_TO_BTF_ID along with other pointer types,
i.e. cd17d38f8b28 ("bpf: Permits pointers on stack for helper calls").

Finally, include a comment on why REG_LIVE_WRITTEN is not being set when
clobber is set to true. In short, the reason is that while when clobber
is unset, we know that we won't be writing, when it is true, we *may*
write to any of the stack slots in that range. It may be a partial or
complete write, to just one or many stack slots.

We cannot be sure, hence to be conservative, we leave things as is and
never set REG_LIVE_WRITTEN for any stack slot. However, clobber still
needs to reset them to STACK_MISC assuming writes happened. However read
marks still need to be propagated upwards from liveness point of view,
as parent stack slot's contents may still continue to matter to child
states.

[ Upstream commit 836e49e103dfeeff670c934b7d563cbd982fce87 ]

bpf_selem_alloc function is used by inode_storage, sk_storage and
task_storage maps to set map value, for these map types, there may
be a spin lock in the map value, so if we use memcpy to copy the whole
map value from user, the spin lock field may be initialized incorrectly.

Since the spin lock field is zeroed by kzalloc, call copy_map_value
instead of memcpy to skip copying the spin lock field to fix it.

commit a679120edfcf3d63f066f53afd425d51b480e533 upstream.

When building with clang:

  kernel/bpf/dispatcher.c:126:33: error: pointer type mismatch ('void *' and 'unsigned int (*)(const void *, const struct bpf_insn *, bpf_func_t)' (aka 'unsigned int (*)(const void *, const struct bpf_insn *, unsigned int (*)(const void *, const struct bpf_insn *))')) [-Werror,-Wpointer-type-mismatch]

  1 error generated.

The warning is pointing out that the type of new ('void *') and
&amp;bpf_dispatcher_nop_func are not compatible, which could have side
effects coming out of a conditional operator due to promotion rules.

Add the explicit cast to 'void *' to make it clear that this is
expected, as __BPF_DISPATCHER_UPDATE() expands to a call to
__static_call_update(), which expects a 'void *' as its final argument.

[ Upstream commit c86df29d11dfba27c0a1f5039cd6fe387fbf4239 ]

The dispatcher function is currently abusing the ftrace __fentry__
call location for its own purposes -- this obviously gives trouble
when the dispatcher and ftrace are both in use.

A previous solution tried using __attribute__((patchable_function_entry()))
which works, except it is GCC-8+ only, breaking the build on the
earlier still supported compilers. Instead use static_call() -- which
has its own annotations and does not conflict with ftrace -- to
rewrite the dispatch function.

By using: return static_call()(ctx, insni, bpf_func) you get a perfect
forwarding tail call as function body (iow a single jmp instruction).
By having the default static_call() target be bpf_dispatcher_nop_func()
it retains the default behaviour (an indirect call to the argument
function). Only once a dispatcher program is attached is the target
rewritten to directly call the JIT'ed image.
