An update for verifier.c:states_equal()/regsafe() to use check_ids()
for active spin lock comparisons. This fixes the issue reported by
Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi in [1] using technique suggested by Edward Cree.

W/o this commit the verifier might be tricked to accept the following
program working with a map containing spin locks:

  0: r9 = map_lookup_elem(...)  ; Returns PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL id=1.
  1: r8 = map_lookup_elem(...)  ; Returns PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL id=2.
  2: if r9 == 0 goto exit       ; r9 -&gt; PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE.
  3: if r8 == 0 goto exit       ; r8 -&gt; PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE.
  4: r7 = ktime_get_ns()        ; Unbound SCALAR_VALUE.
  5: r6 = ktime_get_ns()        ; Unbound SCALAR_VALUE.
  6: bpf_spin_lock(r8)          ; active_lock.id == 2.
  7: if r6 &gt; r7 goto +1         ; No new information about the state
                                ; is derived from this check, thus
                                ; produced verifier states differ only
                                ; in 'insn_idx'.
  8: r9 = r8                    ; Optionally make r9.id == r8.id.
  --- checkpoint ---            ; Assume is_state_visisted() creates a
                                ; checkpoint here.
  9: bpf_spin_unlock(r9)        ; (a,b) active_lock.id == 2.
                                ; (a) r9.id == 2, (b) r9.id == 1.
 10: exit(0)

Consider two verification paths:
(a) 0-10
(b) 0-7,9-10

The path (a) is verified first. If checkpoint is created at (8)
the (b) would assume that (8) is safe because regsafe() does not
compare register ids for registers of type PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE.

verifier.c:states_equal() must maintain register ID mapping across all
function frames. Otherwise the following example might be erroneously
marked as safe:

main:
    fp[-24] = map_lookup_elem(...)  ; frame[0].fp[-24].id == 1
    fp[-32] = map_lookup_elem(...)  ; frame[0].fp[-32].id == 2
    r1 = &amp;fp[-24]
    r2 = &amp;fp[-32]
    call foo()
    r0 = 0
    exit

foo:
  0: r9 = r1
  1: r8 = r2
  2: r7 = ktime_get_ns()
  3: r6 = ktime_get_ns()
  4: if (r6 &gt; r7) goto skip_assign
  5: r9 = r8

skip_assign:                ; &lt;--- checkpoint
  6: r9 = *r9               ; (a) frame[1].r9.id == 2
                            ; (b) frame[1].r9.id == 1

  7: if r9 == 0 goto exit:  ; mark_ptr_or_null_regs() transfers != 0 info
                            ; for all regs sharing ID:
                            ;   (a) r9 != 0 =&gt; &amp;frame[0].fp[-32] != 0
                            ;   (b) r9 != 0 =&gt; &amp;frame[0].fp[-24] != 0

  8: r8 = *r8               ; (a) r8 == &amp;frame[0].fp[-32]
                            ; (b) r8 == &amp;frame[0].fp[-32]
  9: r0 = *r8               ; (a) safe
                            ; (b) unsafe

exit:
 10: exit

While processing call to foo() verifier considers the following
execution paths:

(a) 0-10
(b) 0-4,6-10
(There is also path 0-7,10 but it is not interesting for the issue at
 hand. (a) is verified first.)

Suppose that checkpoint is created at (6) when path (a) is verified,
next path (b) is verified and (6) is reached.

If states_equal() maintains separate 'idmap' for each frame the
mapping at (6) for frame[1] would be empty and
regsafe(r9)::check_ids() would add a pair 2-&gt;1 and return true,
which is an error.

If states_equal() maintains single 'idmap' for all frames the mapping
at (6) would be { 1-&gt;1, 2-&gt;2 } and regsafe(r9)::check_ids() would
return false when trying to add a pair 2-&gt;1.

<title>bpf: regsafe() must not skip check_ids()</title>

<id>7c884339bbff80250bfc11d56b5cf48640e6ebdb</id>

The verifier.c:regsafe() has the following shortcut:

	equal = memcmp(rold, rcur, offsetof(struct bpf_reg_state, parent)) == 0;
	...
	if (equal)
		return true;

Which is executed regardless old register type. This is incorrect for
register types that might have an ID checked by check_ids(), namely:
 - PTR_TO_MAP_KEY
 - PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE
 - PTR_TO_PACKET_META
 - PTR_TO_PACKET

The following pattern could be used to exploit this:

  0: r9 = map_lookup_elem(...)  ; Returns PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL id=1.
  1: r8 = map_lookup_elem(...)  ; Returns PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL id=2.
  2: r7 = ktime_get_ns()        ; Unbound SCALAR_VALUE.
  3: r6 = ktime_get_ns()        ; Unbound SCALAR_VALUE.
  4: if r6 &gt; r7 goto +1         ; No new information about the state
                                ; is derived from this check, thus
                                ; produced verifier states differ only
                                ; in 'insn_idx'.
  5: r9 = r8                    ; Optionally make r9.id == r8.id.
  --- checkpoint ---            ; Assume is_state_visisted() creates a
                                ; checkpoint here.
  6: if r9 == 0 goto &lt;exit&gt;     ; Nullness info is propagated to all
                                ; registers with matching ID.
  7: r1 = *(u64 *) r8           ; Not always safe.

Verifier first visits path 1-7 where r8 is verified to be not null
at (6). Later the jump from 4 to 6 is examined. The checkpoint for (6)
looks as follows:
  R8_rD=map_value_or_null(id=2,off=0,ks=4,vs=8,imm=0)
  R9_rwD=map_value_or_null(id=2,off=0,ks=4,vs=8,imm=0)
  R10=fp0

The current state is:
  R0=... R6=... R7=... fp-8=...
  R8=map_value_or_null(id=2,off=0,ks=4,vs=8,imm=0)
  R9=map_value_or_null(id=1,off=0,ks=4,vs=8,imm=0)
  R10=fp0

Note that R8 states are byte-to-byte identical, so regsafe() would
exit early and skip call to check_ids(), thus ID mapping 2-&gt;2 will not
be added to 'idmap'. Next, states for R9 are compared: these are not
identical and check_ids() is executed, but 'idmap' is empty, so
check_ids() adds mapping 2-&gt;1 to 'idmap' and returns success.

This commit pushes the 'equal' down to register types that don't need
check_ids().

<title>bpf: Move PTR_TO_STACK alignment check to process_dynptr_func</title>

After previous commit, we are minimizing helper specific assumptions
from check_func_arg_reg_off, making it generic, and offloading checks
for a specific argument type to their respective functions called after
check_func_arg_reg_off has been called.

This allows relying on a consistent set of guarantees after that call
and then relying on them in code that deals with registers for each
argument type later. This is in line with how process_spin_lock,
process_timer_func, process_kptr_func check reg-&gt;var_off to be constant.
The same reasoning is used here to move the alignment check into
process_dynptr_func. Note that it also needs to check for constant
var_off, and accumulate the constant var_off when computing the spi in
get_spi, but that fix will come in later changes.

process_timer_func, process_kptr_func check reg-&gt;var_off to be constant.
The same reasoning is used here to move the alignment check into
process_dynptr_func. Note that it also needs to check for constant
var_off, and accumulate the constant var_off when computing the spi in
get_spi, but that fix will come in later changes.

<title>bpf: Rework check_func_arg_reg_off</title>

While check_func_arg_reg_off is the place which performs generic checks
needed by various candidates of reg-&gt;type, there is some handling for
special cases, like ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR, OBJ_RELEASE, and
ARG_PTR_TO_RINGBUF_MEM.

This commit aims to streamline these special cases and instead leave
other things up to argument type specific code to handle. The function
will be restrictive by default, and cover all possible cases when
OBJ_RELEASE is set, without having to update the function again (and
missing to do that being a bug).

This is done primarily for two reasons: associating back reg-&gt;type to
its argument leaves room for the list getting out of sync when a new
reg-&gt;type is supported by an arg_type.

The other case is ARG_PTR_TO_RINGBUF_MEM. The problem there is something
we already handle, whenever a release argument is expected, it should
be passed as the pointer that was received from the acquire function.
Hence zero fixed and variable offset.

There is nothing special about ARG_PTR_TO_RINGBUF_MEM, where technically
its target register type PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RINGBUF can already be passed
with non-zero offset to other helper functions, which makes sense.

Hence, lift the arg_type_is_release check for reg-&gt;off and cover all
possible register types, instead of duplicating the same kind of check
twice for current OBJ_RELEASE arg_types (alloc_mem and ptr_to_btf_id).

For the release argument, arg_type_is_dynptr is the special case, where
we go to actual object being freed through the dynptr, so the offset of
the pointer still needs to allow fixed and variable offset and
process_dynptr_func will verify them later for the release argument case
as well.

This is not specific to ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR though, we will need to make
this exception for any future object on the stack that needs to be
released. In this sense, PTR_TO_STACK as a candidate for object on stack
argument is a special case for release offset checks, and they need to
be done by the helper releasing the object on stack.

Since the check has been lifted above all register type checks, remove
the duplicated check that is being done for PTR_TO_BTF_ID.

Recently, user ringbuf support introduced a PTR_TO_DYNPTR register type
for use in callback state, because in case of user ringbuf helpers,
there is no dynptr on the stack that is passed into the callback. To
reflect such a state, a special register type was created.

However, some checks have been bypassed incorrectly during the addition
of this feature. First, for arg_type with MEM_UNINIT flag which
initialize a dynptr, they must be rejected for such register type.
Secondly, in the future, there are plans to add dynptr helpers that
operate on the dynptr itself and may change its offset and other
properties.

In all of these cases, PTR_TO_DYNPTR shouldn't be allowed to be passed
to such helpers, however the current code simply returns 0.

The rejection for helpers that release the dynptr is already handled.

For fixing this, we take a step back and rework existing code in a way
that will allow fitting in all classes of helpers and have a coherent
model for dealing with the variety of use cases in which dynptr is used.

First, for ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR, it can either be set alone or together
with a DYNPTR_TYPE_* constant that denotes the only type it accepts.

Next, helpers which initialize a dynptr use MEM_UNINIT to indicate this
fact. To make the distinction clear, use MEM_RDONLY flag to indicate
that the helper only operates on the memory pointed to by the dynptr,
not the dynptr itself. In C parlance, it would be equivalent to taking
the dynptr as a point to const argument.

When either of these flags are not present, the helper is allowed to
mutate both the dynptr itself and also the memory it points to.
Currently, the read only status of the memory is not tracked in the
dynptr, but it would be trivial to add this support inside dynptr state
of the register.

With these changes and renaming PTR_TO_DYNPTR to CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR to
better reflect its usage, it can no longer be passed to helpers that
initialize a dynptr, i.e. bpf_dynptr_from_mem, bpf_ringbuf_reserve_dynptr.

A note to reviewers is that in code that does mark_stack_slots_dynptr,
and unmark_stack_slots_dynptr, we implicitly rely on the fact that
PTR_TO_STACK reg is the only case that can reach that code path, as one
cannot pass CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR to helpers that don't set MEM_RDONLY. In
both cases such helpers won't be setting that flag.

The next patch will add a couple of selftest cases to make sure this
doesn't break.

ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR is akin to ARG_PTR_TO_TIMER, ARG_PTR_TO_KPTR, where
the underlying register type is subjected to more special checks to
determine the type of object represented by the pointer and its state
consistency.

Move dynptr checks to their own 'process_dynptr_func' function so that
is consistent and in-line with existing code. This also makes it easier
to reuse this code for kfunc handling.

Then, reuse this consolidated function in kfunc dynptr handling too.
Note that for kfuncs, the arg_type constraint of DYNPTR_TYPE_LOCAL has
been lifted.

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

Disassembly of section .text:

	4:       b4 00 00 00 14 00 00 00 w0 = 0x14
	5:       16 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 if w1 == 0x0 goto +0x1 &lt;LBB1_2&gt;
	6:       b4 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 w0 = 0xa

0000000000000038 &lt;LBB1_2&gt;:
	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.

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.
