[ Upstream commit af9cb29c5488381083b0b5ccdfb3cd931063384a ]

As the rseq selftests can run for a long period of time, disable the
timeout that the general selftests have.

<title>bpf: reject passing modified ctx to helper functions</title>

<id>7fed98f4a1e6eb77a5d66ecfdf9345e21df6ac82</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 58990d1ff3f7896ee341030e9a7c2e4002570683 upstream.

As commit 28e33f9d78ee ("bpf: disallow arithmetic operations on
context pointer") already describes, f1174f77b50c ("bpf/verifier:
rework value tracking") removed the specific white-listed cases
we had previously where we would allow for pointer arithmetic in
order to further generalize it, and allow e.g. context access via
modified registers. While the dereferencing of modified context
pointers had been forbidden through 28e33f9d78ee, syzkaller did
recently manage to trigger several KASAN splats for slab out of
bounds access and use after frees by simply passing a modified
context pointer to a helper function which would then do the bad
access since verifier allowed it in adjust_ptr_min_max_vals().

Rejecting arithmetic on ctx pointer in adjust_ptr_min_max_vals()
generally could break existing programs as there's a valid use
case in tracing in combination with passing the ctx to helpers as
bpf_probe_read(), where the register then becomes unknown at
verification time due to adding a non-constant offset to it. An
access sequence may look like the following:

  offset = args-&gt;filename;  /* field __data_loc filename */
  bpf_probe_read(&amp;dst, len, (char *)args + offset); // args is ctx

There are two options: i) we could special case the ctx and as
soon as we add a constant or bounded offset to it (hence ctx type
wouldn't change) we could turn the ctx into an unknown scalar, or
ii) we generalize the sanity test for ctx member access into a
small helper and assert it on the ctx register that was passed
as a function argument. Fwiw, latter is more obvious and less
complex at the same time, and one case that may potentially be
legitimate in future for ctx member access at least would be for
ctx to carry a const offset. Therefore, fix follows approach
from ii) and adds test cases to BPF kselftests.

We should use TEST_GEN_PROGS, not TEST_PROGS. That tells the selftests
makefile (lib.mk) that those tests are generated (built), and so it
adds the $(OUTPUT) prefix for us, making the out-of-tree build work
correctly.

It also means we don't need our own clean rule, lib.mk does it.

We also have to update the signal_tm rule to use $(OUTPUT).

<content type='text'>
commit 5c089fd0c73411f2170ab795c9ffc16718c7d007 upstream.

If the entry is deleted from the IDR between the call to
radix_tree_iter_find() and rcu_dereference_raw(), idr_get_next()
will return NULL, which will end the iteration prematurely.  We should
instead continue to the next entry in the IDR.  This only happens if the
iteration is protected by the RCU lock.  Most IDR users use a spinlock
or semaphore to exclude simultaneous modifications.  It was noticed once
the PID allocator was converted to use the IDR, as it uses the RCU lock,
but there may be other users elsewhere in the kernel.

We can't use the normal pattern of calling radix_tree_deref_retry()
(which catches both a retry entry in a leaf node and a node entry in
the root) as the IDR supports storing entries which are unaligned,
which will trigger an infinite loop if they are encountered.  Instead,
we have to explicitly check whether the entry is a retry entry.

commit 5c089fd0c73411f2170ab795c9ffc16718c7d007 upstream.

If the entry is deleted from the IDR between the call to
radix_tree_iter_find() and rcu_dereference_raw(), idr_get_next()
will return NULL, which will end the iteration prematurely.  We should
instead continue to the next entry in the IDR.  This only happens if the
iteration is protected by the RCU lock.  Most IDR users use a spinlock
or semaphore to exclude simultaneous modifications.  It was noticed once
the PID allocator was converted to use the IDR, as it uses the RCU lock,
but there may be other users elsewhere in the kernel.

We can't use the normal pattern of calling radix_tree_deref_retry()
(which catches both a retry entry in a leaf node and a node entry in
the root) as the IDR supports storing entries which are unaligned,
which will trigger an infinite loop if they are encountered.  Instead,
we have to explicitly check whether the entry is a retry entry.
