[ Upstream commit 6764e767f4af1e35f87f3497e1182d945de37f93 ]

__bpf_prog_enter_recur() assigns bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx before
performing the recursion check which means in case of a recursion
__bpf_prog_exit_recur() uses the previously set bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx
value.

__bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() assigns bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx
after the recursion check which means in case of a recursion
__bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur() uses an uninitialized value. This does not
look right. If I read the entry trampoline code right, then bpf_tramp_run_ctx
isn't initialized upfront.

Align __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() with __bpf_prog_enter_recur() and
set bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx before the recursion check is made.
Remove the assignment of saved_run_ctx in kern_sys_bpf() since it happens
a few cycles later.

[ Upstream commit 7645629f7dc88cd777f98970134bf1a54c8d77e3 ]

If __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() detects recursion then it returns
0 without undoing rcu_read_lock_trace(), migrate_disable() or
decrementing the recursion counter. This is fine in the JIT case because
the JIT code will jump in the 0 case to the end and invoke the matching
exit trampoline (__bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur()).

This is not the case in kern_sys_bpf() which returns directly to the
caller with an error code.

Add __bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur() as clean up in the recursion case.

<title>bpf: Remove prog-&gt;active check for bpf_lsm and bpf_iter</title>

[ Upstream commit 271de525e1d7f564e88a9d212c50998b49a54476 ]

The commit 64696c40d03c ("bpf: Add __bpf_prog_{enter,exit}_struct_ops for struct_ops trampoline")
removed prog-&gt;active check for struct_ops prog.  The bpf_lsm
and bpf_iter is also using trampoline.  Like struct_ops, the bpf_lsm
and bpf_iter have fixed hooks for the prog to attach.  The
kernel does not call the same hook in a recursive way.
This patch also removes the prog-&gt;active check for
bpf_lsm and bpf_iter.

A later patch has a test to reproduce the recursion issue
for a sleepable bpf_lsm program.

This patch appends the '_recur' naming to the existing
enter and exit functions that track the prog-&gt;active counter.
New __bpf_prog_{enter,exit}[_sleepable] function are
added to skip the prog-&gt;active tracking. The '_struct_ops'
version is also removed.

It also moves the decision on picking the enter and exit function to
the new bpf_trampoline_{enter,exit}().  It returns the '_recur' ones
for all tracing progs to use.  For bpf_lsm, bpf_iter,
struct_ops (no prog-&gt;active tracking after 64696c40d03c), and
bpf_lsm_cgroup (no prog-&gt;active tracking after 69fd337a975c7),
it will return the functions that don't track the prog-&gt;active.

commit d75e30dddf73449bc2d10bb8e2f1a2c446bc67a2 upstream.

After we converted the capabilities of our networking-bpf program from
cap_sys_admin to cap_net_admin+cap_bpf, our networking-bpf program
failed to start. Because it failed the bpf verifier, and the error log
is "R3 pointer comparison prohibited".

A simple reproducer as follows,

SEC("cls-ingress")
int ingress(struct __sk_buff *skb)
{
	struct iphdr *iph = (void *)(long)skb-&gt;data + sizeof(struct ethhdr);

	if ((long)(iph + 1) &gt; (long)skb-&gt;data_end)
		return TC_ACT_STOLEN;
	return TC_ACT_OK;
}

Per discussion with Yonghong and Alexei [1], comparison of two packet
pointers is not a pointer leak. This patch fixes it.

Our local kernel is 6.1.y and we expect this fix to be backported to
6.1.y, so stable is CCed.

[ Upstream commit 33937607efa050d9e237e0c4ac4ada02d961c466 ]

We are utilizing BPF LSM to monitor BPF operations within our container
environment. When we add support for raw_tracepoint, it hits below
error.

; (const void *)attr-&gt;raw_tracepoint.name);
27: (79) r3 = *(u64 *)(r2 +0)
access beyond the end of member map_type (mend:4) in struct (anon) with off 0 size 8

It can be reproduced with below BPF prog.

SEC("lsm/bpf")
int BPF_PROG(bpf_audit, int cmd, union bpf_attr *attr, unsigned int size)
{
	switch (cmd) {
	case BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN:
		bpf_printk("raw_tracepoint is %s", attr-&gt;raw_tracepoint.name);
		break;
	default:
		break;
	}
	return 0;
}

The reason is that when accessing a field in a union, such as bpf_attr,
if the field is located within a nested struct that is not the first
member of the union, it can result in incorrect field verification.

  union bpf_attr {
      struct {
          __u32 map_type; &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; Actually it will find that field.
          __u32 key_size;
          __u32 value_size;
         ...
      };
      ...
      struct {
          __u64 name;    &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; We want to verify this field.
          __u32 prog_fd;
      } raw_tracepoint;
  };

Considering the potential deep nesting levels, finding a perfect
solution to address this issue has proven challenging. Therefore, I
propose a solution where we simply skip the verification process if the
field in question is located within a union.

commit 640a604585aa30f93e39b17d4d6ba69fcb1e66c9 upstream.

The following warning was reported when running stress-mode enabled
xdp_redirect_cpu with some RT threads:

  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 65 at kernel/bpf/cpumap.c:135
  CPU: 4 PID: 65 Comm: kworker/4:1 Not tainted 6.5.0-rc2+ #1
  Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)

   &lt;/TASK&gt;

The root cause is the same as commit 436901649731 ("bpf: cpumap: Fix memory
leak in cpu_map_update_elem"). The kthread is stopped prematurely by
kthread_stop() in cpu_map_kthread_stop(), and kthread() doesn't call
cpu_map_kthread_run() at all but XDP program has already queued some
frames or skbs into ptr_ring. So when __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() checks
the ptr_ring, it will find it was not emptied and report a warning.

An alternative fix is to use __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() to drop these
pending frames or skbs when kthread_stop() returns -EINTR, but it may
confuse the user, because these frames or skbs have been handled
correctly by XDP program. So instead of dropping these frames or skbs,
just make sure the per-cpu kthread is running before
__cpu_map_entry_alloc() returns.

After apply the fix, the error handle for kthread_stop() will be
unnecessary because it will always return 0, so just remove it.

commit 640a604585aa30f93e39b17d4d6ba69fcb1e66c9 upstream.

The following warning was reported when running stress-mode enabled
xdp_redirect_cpu with some RT threads:

  WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 65 at kernel/bpf/cpumap.c:135
  CPU: 4 PID: 65 Comm: kworker/4:1 Not tainted 6.5.0-rc2+ #1

   &lt;/TASK&gt;

The root cause is the same as commit 436901649731 ("bpf: cpumap: Fix memory
leak in cpu_map_update_elem"). The kthread is stopped prematurely by
kthread_stop() in cpu_map_kthread_stop(), and kthread() doesn't call
cpu_map_kthread_run() at all but XDP program has already queued some
frames or skbs into ptr_ring. So when __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() checks
the ptr_ring, it will find it was not emptied and report a warning.

An alternative fix is to use __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() to drop these
pending frames or skbs when kthread_stop() returns -EINTR, but it may
confuse the user, because these frames or skbs have been handled
correctly by XDP program. So instead of dropping these frames or skbs,
just make sure the per-cpu kthread is running before
__cpu_map_entry_alloc() returns.

After apply the fix, the error handle for kthread_stop() will be
unnecessary because it will always return 0, so just remove it.

[ Upstream commit 7c62b75cd1a792e14b037fa4f61f9b18914e7de1 ]

The following warning was reported when running xdp_redirect_cpu with
both skb-mode and stress-mode enabled:

  ------------[ cut here ]------------

   &lt;/TASK&gt;

The reason for the warning is twofold. One is due to the kthread
cpu_map_kthread_run() is stopped prematurely. Another one is
__cpu_map_ring_cleanup() doesn't handle skb mode and treats skbs in
ptr_ring as XDP frames.

Prematurely-stopped kthread will be fixed by the preceding patch and
ptr_ring will be empty when __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() is called. But
as the comments in __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() said, handling and freeing
skbs in ptr_ring as well to "catch any broken behaviour gracefully".

<title>bpf: aggressively forget precise markings during state checkpointing</title>

[ Upstream commit 7a830b53c17bbadcf99f778f28aaaa4e6c41df5f ]

Exploit the property of about-to-be-checkpointed state to be able to
forget all precise markings up to that point even more aggressively. We
now clear all potentially inherited precise markings right before
checkpointing and branching off into child state. If any of children
states require precise knowledge of any SCALAR register, those will be
propagated backwards later on before this state is finalized, preserving
correctness.

There is a single selftests BPF program change, but tremendous one: 25x
reduction in number of verified instructions and states in
trace_virtqueue_add_sgs.

Cilium results are more modest, but happen across wider range of programs.

Slight regression in test_tc_dtime.bpf.linked1.o/ingress_fwdns_prio101
is left for a follow up, there might be some more precision-related bugs
in existing BPF verifier logic.

[ Upstream commit f63181b6ae79fd3b034cde641db774268c2c3acf ]

Setting reg-&gt;precise to true in current state is not necessary from
correctness standpoint, but it does pessimise the whole precision (or
rather "imprecision", because that's what we want to keep as much as
possible) tracking. Why is somewhat subtle and my best attempt to
explain this is recorded in an extensive comment for __mark_chain_precise()
function. Some more careful thinking and code reading is probably required
still to grok this completely, unfortunately. Whiteboarding and a bunch
of extra handwaiving in person would be even more helpful, but is deemed
impractical in Git commit.

Next patch pushes this imprecision property even further, building on top of
the insights described in this patch.

End results are pretty nice, we get reduction in number of total instructions
and states verified due to a better states reuse, as some of the states are now
more generic and permissive due to less unnecessary precise=true requirements.

[ Upstream commit be2ef8161572ec1973124ebc50f56dafc2925e07 ]

Stop forcing precise=true for SCALAR registers when BPF program has any
subprograms. Current restriction means that any BPF program, as soon as
it uses subprograms, will end up not getting any of the precision
tracking benefits in reduction of number of verified states.

This patch keeps the fallback mark_all_scalars_precise() behavior if
precise marking has to cross function frames. E.g., if subprogram
requires R1 (first input arg) to be marked precise, ideally we'd need to
backtrack to the parent function and keep marking R1 and its
dependencies as precise. But right now we give up and force all the
SCALARs in any of the current and parent states to be forced to
precise=true. We can lift that restriction in the future.

But this patch fixes two issues identified when trying to enable
precision tracking for subprogs.

First, prevent "escaping" from top-most state in a global subprog. While
with entry-level BPF program we never end up requesting precision for
R1-R5 registers, because R2-R5 are not initialized (and so not readable
in correct BPF program), and R1 is PTR_TO_CTX, not SCALAR, and so is
implicitly precise. With global subprogs, though, it's different, as
global subprog a) can have up to 5 SCALAR input arguments, which might
get marked as precise=true and b) it is validated in isolation from its
main entry BPF program. b) means that we can end up exhausting parent
state chain and still not mark all registers in reg_mask as precise,
which would lead to verifier bug warning.

To handle that, we need to consider two cases. First, if the very first
state is not immediately "checkpointed" (i.e., stored in state lookup
hashtable), it will get correct first_insn_idx and last_insn_idx
instruction set during state checkpointing. As such, this case is
already handled and __mark_chain_precision() already handles that by
just doing nothing when we reach to the very first parent state.
st-&gt;parent will be NULL and we'll just stop. Perhaps some extra check
for reg_mask and stack_mask is due here, but this patch doesn't address
that issue.

More problematic second case is when global function's initial state is
immediately checkpointed before we manage to process the very first
instruction. This is happening because when there is a call to global
subprog from the main program the very first subprog's instruction is
marked as pruning point, so before we manage to process first
instruction we have to check and checkpoint state. This patch adds
a special handling for such "empty" state, which is identified by having
st-&gt;last_insn_idx set to -1. In such case, we check that we are indeed
validating global subprog, and with some sanity checking we mark input
args as precise if requested.

Note that we also initialize state-&gt;first_insn_idx with correct start
insn_idx offset. For main program zero is correct value, but for any
subprog it's quite confusing to not have first_insn_idx set. This
doesn't have any functional impact, but helps with debugging and state
printing. We also explicitly initialize state-&gt;last_insns_idx instead of
relying on is_state_visited() to do this with env-&gt;prev_insns_idx, which
will be -1 on the very first instruction. This concludes necessary
changes to handle specifically global subprog's precision tracking.

Second identified problem was missed handling of BPF helper functions
that call into subprogs (e.g., bpf_loop and few others). From precision
tracking and backtracking logic's standpoint those are effectively calls
into subprogs and should be called as BPF_PSEUDO_CALL calls.

This patch takes the least intrusive way and just checks against a short
list of current BPF helpers that do call subprogs, encapsulated in
is_callback_calling_function() function. But to prevent accidentally
forgetting to add new BPF helpers to this "list", we also do a sanity
check in __check_func_call, which has to be called for each such special
BPF helper, to validate that BPF helper is indeed recognized as
callback-calling one. This should catch any missed checks in the future.
Adding some special flags to be added in function proto definitions
seemed like an overkill in this case.

With the above changes, it's possible to remove forceful setting of
reg-&gt;precise to true in __mark_reg_unknown, which turns on precision
tracking both inside subprogs and entry progs that have subprogs. No
warnings or errors were detected across all the selftests, but also when
validating with veristat against internal Meta BPF objects and Cilium
objects. Further, in some BPF programs there are noticeable reduction in
number of states and instructions validated due to more effective
precision tracking, especially benefiting syncookie test.

Stop forcing precise=true for SCALAR registers when BPF program has any

This patch keeps the fallback mark_all_scalars_precise() behavior if

st-&gt;last_insn_idx set to -1. In such case, we check that we are indeed
validating global subprog, and with some sanity checking we mark input
args as precise if requested.

Note that we also initialize state-&gt;first_insn_idx with correct start
insn_idx offset. For main program zero is correct value, but for any
subprog it's quite confusing to not have first_insn_idx set. This
doesn't have any functional impact, but helps with debugging and state
printing. We also explicitly initialize state-&gt;last_insns_idx instead of
relying on is_state_visited() to do this with env-&gt;prev_insns_idx, which
will be -1 on the very first instruction. This concludes necessary
changes to handle specifically global subprog's precision tracking.

Second identified problem was missed handling of BPF helper functions
that call into subprogs (e.g., bpf_loop and few others). From precision
tracking and backtracking logic's standpoint those are effectively calls
into subprogs and should be called as BPF_PSEUDO_CALL calls.

This patch takes the least intrusive way and just checks against a short
list of current BPF helpers that do call subprogs, encapsulated in
is_callback_calling_function() function. But to prevent accidentally
forgetting to add new BPF helpers to this "list", we also do a sanity
check in __check_func_call, which has to be called for each such special
BPF helper, to validate that BPF helper is indeed recognized as
callback-calling one. This should catch any missed checks in the future.
Adding some special flags to be added in function proto definitions
seemed like an overkill in this case.

With the above changes, it's possible to remove forceful setting of
reg-&gt;precise to true in __mark_reg_unknown, which turns on precision
tracking both inside subprogs and entry progs that have subprogs. No
warnings or errors were detected across all the selftests, but also when
validating with veristat against internal Meta BPF objects and Cilium
objects. Further, in some BPF programs there are noticeable reduction in
number of states and instructions validated due to more effective
precision tracking, especially benefiting syncookie test.
