<title>libbpf: fix off-by-one in emit_signature_match jump offset</title>

<id>7dd62566e0d108d29034bcff8503b827f8763320</id>
<content type='text'>
The offset for the cleanup-label jump is computed before the MOV R7
instruction is emitted, but the JMP lands after it. Account for the
extra insn in the offset calculation (-2 instead of -1). Drop the
redundant self-loop in the else branch; gen-&gt;error = -ERANGE already
marks the generation as failed.

sphinx doesn't know that the kernel headers do:

    #define at_least static

Do this replacement before declarations are passed to it.

This prevents errors like the following from appearing once the
lib/crypto/ kernel-doc is wired up to the sphinx build:

   linux/Documentation/crypto/libcrypto:128: ./include/crypto/sha2.h:773: WARNING: Error in declarator or parameters

   - Support flat layout for symfs. The --symfs option is to specify the
     location of debugging symbol files. The default 'hierarchy' layout
     would search the symbol file using the same path of the original
     file under the symfs root. The new 'flat' layout would search only
     in the root directory.

   - Update 'simd' sort key for ARM SIMD flags to cover ASE/SME and more
     predicate flags.

  perf stat:

   - Add --pmu-filter option to select specific PMUs. This would be
     useful when you measure metrics from multiple instance of uncore
     PMUs with similar names.

Sashiko found possible double close of btf object fd [1],
which happens when strdup in load_module_btfs fails at which
point the obj-&gt;btf_module_cnt is already incremented.

The error path close btf fd and so does later cleanup code in
bpf_object_post_load_cleanup function.

Also libbpf_ensure_mem failure leaves btf object not assigned
and it's leaked.

Replacing the err_out label with break to make the error path
less confusing as suggested by Alan.

Incrementing obj-&gt;btf_module_cnt only if there's no failure
and releasing btf object in error path.

Fixes: 91abb4a6d79d ("libbpf: Support attachment of BPF tracing programs to kernel modules")

Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:

 - Welcome new BPF maintainers: Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Eduard
   Zingerman while Martin KaFai Lau reduced his load to Reviwer.

 - Lots of fixes everywhere from many first time contributors. Thank you
   All.

 - Diff stat is dominated by mechanical split of verifier.c into
   multiple components:

    - backtrack.c: backtracking logic and jump history
    - states.c:    state equivalence
    - cfg.c:       control flow graph, postorder, strongly connected
                   components
    - liveness.c:  register and stack liveness
    - fixups.c:    post-verification passes: instruction patching, dead
                   code removal, bpf_loop inlining, finalize fastcall

   8k line were moved. verifier.c still stands at 20k lines.

   Further refactoring is planned for the next release.

 - Replace dynamic stack liveness with static stack liveness based on
   data flow analysis.

   This improved the verification time by 2x for some programs and
   equally reduced memory consumption. New logic is in liveness.c and
   supported by constant folding in const_fold.c (Eduard Zingerman,
   Alexei Starovoitov)

 - Introduce BTF layout to ease addition of new BTF kinds (Alan Maguire)

 - Use kmalloc_nolock() universally in BPF local storage (Amery Hung)

 - Fix several bugs in linked registers delta tracking (Daniel Borkmann)

 - Improve verifier support of arena pointers (Emil Tsalapatis)

 - Improve verifier tracking of register bounds in min/max and tnum
   domains (Harishankar Vishwanathan, Paul Chaignon, Hao Sun)

 - Further extend support for implicit arguments in the verifier (Ihor
   Solodrai)

 - Add support for nop,nop5 instruction combo for USDT probes in libbpf
   (Jiri Olsa)

 - Support merging multiple module BTFs (Josef Bacik)

 - Extend applicability of bpf_kptr_xchg (Kaitao Cheng)

 - Retire rcu_trace_implies_rcu_gp() (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi)

 - Support variable offset context access for 'syscall' programs (Kumar
   Kartikeya Dwivedi)

 - Migrate bpf_task_work and dynptr to kmalloc_nolock() (Mykyta
   Yatsenko)

 - Fix UAF in in open-coded task_vma iterator (Puranjay Mohan)

Allow bpf object feat_cache assignment in BPF selftests
to simulate missing features via inclusion of libbpf_internal.h
and use of bpf_object_set_feat_cache() and bpf_object__sanitize_btf() to
test BTF sanitization for cases where missing features are simulated.

<title>bpf: reject negative CO-RE accessor indices in bpf_core_parse_spec()</title>

<id>1c22483a2c4bbf747787f328392ca3e68619c4dc</id>
<content type='text'>
CO-RE accessor strings are colon-separated indices that describe a path
from a root BTF type to a target field, e.g. "0:1:2" walks through
nested struct members. bpf_core_parse_spec() parses each component with
sscanf("%d"), so negative values like -1 are silently accepted.  The
subsequent bounds checks (access_idx &gt;= btf_vlen(t)) only guard the
upper bound and always pass for negative values because C integer
promotion converts the __u16 btf_vlen result to int, making the
comparison (int)(-1) &gt;= (int)(N) false for any positive N.

When -1 reaches btf_member_bit_offset() it gets cast to u32 0xffffffff,
producing an out-of-bounds read far past the members array.  A crafted
BPF program with a negative CO-RE accessor on any struct that exists in
vmlinux BTF (e.g. task_struct) crashes the kernel deterministically
during BPF_PROG_LOAD on any system with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y
(default on major distributions).  The bug is reachable with CAP_BPF:

 BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffed11818b6626

  __sys_bpf (kernel/bpf/syscall.c:6228)
  &lt;/TASK&gt;

CO-RE accessor indices are inherently non-negative (struct member index,
array element index, or enumerator index), so reject them immediately
after parsing.
