commit a6f0643e4f63cfaa0d5d4a69de4f132eac4b8fe4 upstream.

When CONFIG_BPF_LSM=y is set, BPF inode storage maps
(BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE) are compiled into the kernel. However,
if the BPF LSM is not explicitly enabled at boot time (e.g. omitted
from the "lsm=" boot parameter), lsm_prepare() is never executed for
the BPF LSM.

Consequently, the BPF inode security blob offset
(bpf_lsm_blob_sizes.lbs_inode) is never initialized and remains at
its default compiled size of 8 bytes instead of being updated to a
valid offset past the reserved struct rcu_head (typically 16 bytes
or more).

When a privileged user creates and updates a BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE
map, bpf_inode() evaluates inode-&gt;i_security + 8. This erroneously
aliases the struct rcu_head.func callback pointer at the beginning
of the inode-&gt;i_security blob. During subsequent map element cleanup
or inode destruction, writing NULL to owner_storage clears the queued
RCU callback pointer. When rcu_do_batch() later executes the queued
callback, it attempts an instruction fetch at address 0x0, triggering
an immediate kernel panic.

Fix this by introducing a global bpf_lsm_initialized boolean flag
marked with __ro_after_init. Set this flag to true inside bpf_lsm_init()
when the LSM framework successfully registers the BPF LSM. Gate map
allocation in inode_storage_map_alloc() on this flag, returning
-EOPNOTSUPP if the BPF LSM is in turn uninitialized.

This fail-fast approach prevents userspace from allocating inode
storage maps when the supporting BPF LSM infrastructure is absent,
avoiding zombie map states.

[ Upstream commit 2f884d371fafea137afea504d49ee4a7c8d7985b ]

trie_lookup_elem() annotates its rcu_dereference_check() walks with
only rcu_read_lock_bh_held().  Because rcu_dereference_check(p, c)
resolves to "c || rcu_read_lock_held()", this passes for XDP/NAPI and
classic RCU readers but fails for sleepable BPF programs, which enter
via __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable() and hold only rcu_read_lock_trace().

trie_update_elem() and trie_delete_elem() have the same problem in a
different form: they walk the trie with plain rcu_dereference(), which
asserts rcu_read_lock_held() unconditionally.  Both are reachable from
sleepable BPF programs via the bpf_map_update_elem / bpf_map_delete_elem
helpers, and from the syscall path under classic rcu_read_lock().  In
the writer paths the trie is actually protected by trie-&gt;lock (an
rqspinlock taken across the walk); we never relied on the RCU read-side
lock to keep nodes alive there.

A sleepable LSM hook that ends up touching an LPM trie therefore
triggers lockdep on debug kernels:

  =============================

This is lockdep-only -- no UAF, since Tasks Trace RCU does serialize

that touches an LPM trie, which is increasingly common.

For the lookup path, switch the rcu_dereference_check() annotation
from rcu_read_lock_bh_held() to bpf_rcu_lock_held(), which accepts all
three contexts (classic, BH, Tasks Trace).  Other map types already
follow this convention.

For trie_update_elem() and trie_delete_elem(), annotate the walks as
rcu_dereference_protected(*p, 1) -- matching trie_free() in the same
file -- since trie-&gt;lock is held across the walk.  rqspinlock has no
lockdep_map, so the predicate degenerates to '1' rather than
lockdep_is_held(&amp;trie-&gt;lock); the protection is real but not
machine-verifiable.  trie_get_next_key() also uses bare
rcu_dereference() but is reachable only from the BPF syscall, which
holds classic rcu_read_lock() before dispatching, so it is left
untouched.

[ Upstream commit 03c68a0f8c68936a0bb915b030693923784724cb ]

JITs can set bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v1/v4() if they want the verifier to
skip analysis/patching for the respective vulnerability. For v4, this
will reduce the number of barriers the verifier inserts. For v1, it
allows more programs to be accepted.

The primary motivation for this is to not regress unpriv BPF's
performance on ARM64 in a future commit where BPF_NOSPEC is also used
against Spectre v1.

This has the user-visible change that v1-induced rejections on
non-vulnerable PowerPC CPUs are avoided.

For now, this does not change the semantics of BPF_NOSPEC. It is still a
v4-only barrier and must not be implemented if bypass_spec_v4 is always
true for the arch. Changing it to a v1 AND v4-barrier is done in a
future commit.

As an alternative to bypass_spec_v1/v4, one could introduce NOSPEC_V1
AND NOSPEC_V4 instructions and allow backends to skip their lowering as
suggested by commit f5e81d111750 ("bpf: Introduce BPF nospec instruction
for mitigating Spectre v4"). Adding bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v1/v4() was
found to be preferable for the following reason:

* bypass_spec_v1/v4 benefits non-vulnerable CPUs: Always performing the
  same analysis (not taking into account whether the current CPU is
  vulnerable), needlessly restricts users of CPUs that are not
  vulnerable. The only use case for this would be portability-testing,
  but this can later be added easily when needed by allowing users to
  force bypass_spec_v1/v4 to false.

* Portability is still acceptable: Directly disabling the analysis
  instead of skipping the lowering of BPF_NOSPEC(_V1/V4) might allow
  programs on non-vulnerable CPUs to be accepted while the program will
  be rejected on vulnerable CPUs. With the fallback to speculation
  barriers for Spectre v1 implemented in a future commit, this will only
  affect programs that do variable stack-accesses or are very complex.

For PowerPC, the SEC_FTR checking in bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v4() is based
on the check that was previously located in the BPF_NOSPEC case.

For LoongArch, it would likely be safe to set both
bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v1() and _v4() according to
commit a6f6a95f2580 ("LoongArch, bpf: Fix jit to skip speculation
barrier opcode"). This is omitted here as I am unable to do any testing
for LoongArch.

Hari's ack concerns the PowerPC part only.

[ Upstream commit 47979314c0fe245ed54306e2f91b3f819c7c0f9f ]

Convert all LPM trie usage of raw_spinlock to rqspinlock.

Note that rcu_dereference_protected in trie_delete_elem is switched over
to plain rcu_dereference, the RCU read lock should be held from BPF
program side or eBPF syscall path, and the trie-&gt;lock is just acquired
before the dereference. It is not clear the reason the protected variant
was used from the commit history, but the above reasoning makes sense so
switch over.

[ Upstream commit 47979314c0fe245ed54306e2f91b3f819c7c0f9f ]

Convert all LPM trie usage of raw_spinlock to rqspinlock.

Note that rcu_dereference_protected in trie_delete_elem is switched over
to plain rcu_dereference, the RCU read lock should be held from BPF
program side or eBPF syscall path, and the trie-&gt;lock is just acquired
before the dereference. It is not clear the reason the protected variant
was used from the commit history, but the above reasoning makes sense so
switch over.

[ Upstream commit 12091470c6b4c1c14b2de12dcbae2ada6cb6d20b ]

BPF LSM programs can currently attach to xfrm_decode_session(). That
hook may return an error, but security_skb_classify_flow() calls it
from a void path and triggers BUG_ON() if an error is returned.

Disable BPF attachment to the hook to prevent a BPF LSM program from
turning packet classification into a full panic.

[ Upstream commit f08aaee3152d0dfc578b3f2586932d82062701dd ]

replace_effective_prog() and purge_effective_progs() located the slot in
the effective array by walking the program hlist and counting entries
linearly. That count does not match the array layout: compute_effective_
progs() places BPF_F_PREORDER programs at the front (ancestor cgroup
first, attach order within a cgroup) and the rest after them (descendant
cgroup first). So when a preorder program is present, the linear hlist
position no longer equals the program's index in the effective array.

For replace_effective_prog() (bpf_link_update()) this overwrote the
wrong slot, corrupting the effective order. For purge_effective_progs(),
it could dummy out a slot belonging to a different program and leave the
detached program in the array while bpf_prog_put() drops its reference,
i.e. a use-after-free.

Fix both by replaying compute_effective_progs()'s placement (including
the per-cgroup preorder reversal) in a shared effective_prog_pos()
helper. Identify the entry by its struct bpf_prog_list pointer rather
than by (prog, link) value, so the lookup resolves to exactly the
attachment the syscall selected even when the same bpf_prog is attached
to several cgroups in the hierarchy.

[ Upstream commit d1d53aa30ab3b5ae89161c9cc840b3f7489ad386 ]

check_stack_write_fixed_off() computes the byte slot for a fixed-offset
stack write as -off - 1, and records each written byte in slot_type[] with
(slot - i) % BPF_REG_SIZE.

The Spectre v4 sanitization pre-check uses slot_type[i] instead. For a
4-byte write at fp-8 after the lower half of fp-8 has been zeroed, the
pre-check scans bytes 0..3 and sees STACK_ZERO while the actual write updates
bytes 7..4. That can leave the second half-slot write without nospec_result
even though the bytes being overwritten still require sanitization.

Use the same slot index in the sanitization pre-check that the write path uses
when updating slot_type[].

<title>bpf: Run generic devmap egress prog on private skb</title>

[ Upstream commit 6001896f00984d317fb75160ba05c4a885fbe2a0 ]

Generic XDP devmap multi redirect uses skb_clone() for intermediate
destinations and sends the last destination with the original skb. This
can leave multiple destinations sharing the same packet data.

This becomes visible after generic devmap egress-program support was
added: a devmap egress program may mutate packet data, and another
destination sharing the same data can observe that mutation.

Native XDP broadcast redirect does not have this issue because
xdpf_clone() copies the frame data for each destination. Generic XDP
should provide the same per-destination isolation before running a
devmap egress program.

Fix this by making cloned skbs private before running the generic devmap
egress program. Use skb_copy() instead of skb_unshare() so allocation
failure does not consume the skb and the existing caller error paths keep
their ownership semantics.

[ Upstream commit 10627ddc0167aab5c1c390a10ef461e9937aba08 ]

The fix in commit abad3d0bad72 ("bpf: Fix oob access in cgroup local
storage") is still incomplete. The prog-array compatibility check
treats a program with no cgroup storage as compatible with any stored
storage cookie. This allows a storage-less program to bridge a tail
call chain between an entry program and a storage-using callee even
though cgroup local storage at runtime still follows the caller's
context, that is, A -&gt; B(no storage) -&gt; C(storage) path.

Requiring exact cookie equality would break the legitimate case of a
storage-less leaf program being tail called from a storage-using one.
Instead, only accept a zero storage cookie if the program cannot
perform tail calls itself. This keeps A -&gt; B(no storage) working
while rejecting the A -&gt; B(no storage) -&gt; C(storage) bridge.
