commit 4b7de801606e504e69689df71475d27e35336fb3 upstream.

Lee pointed out issue found by syscaller [0] hitting BUG in prog array
map poke update in prog_array_map_poke_run function due to error value
returned from bpf_arch_text_poke function.

There's race window where bpf_arch_text_poke can fail due to missing
bpf program kallsym symbols, which is accounted for with check for
-EINVAL in that BUG_ON call.

The problem is that in such case we won't update the tail call jump
and cause imbalance for the next tail call update check which will
fail with -EBUSY in bpf_arch_text_poke.

I'm hitting following race during the program load:

  CPU 0                             CPU 1

  bpf_prog_load
    bpf_check
      do_misc_fixups
        prog_array_map_poke_track

                                    map_update_elem
                                      bpf_fd_array_map_update_elem
                                        prog_array_map_poke_run

                                          bpf_arch_text_poke returns -EINVAL

    bpf_prog_kallsyms_add

After bpf_arch_text_poke (CPU 1) fails to update the tail call jump, the next
poke update fails on expected jump instruction check in bpf_arch_text_poke
with -EBUSY and triggers the BUG_ON in prog_array_map_poke_run.

Similar race exists on the program unload.

Fixing this by moving the update to bpf_arch_poke_desc_update function which
makes sure we call __bpf_arch_text_poke that skips the bpf address check.

Each architecture has slightly different approach wrt looking up bpf address
in bpf_arch_text_poke, so instead of splitting the function or adding new
'checkip' argument in previous version, it seems best to move the whole
map_poke_run update as arch specific code.

<title>bpf: Fix a verifier bug due to incorrect branch offset comparison with cpu=v4</title>

[ Upstream commit dfce9cb3140592b886838e06f3e0c25fea2a9cae ]

Bpf cpu=v4 support is introduced in [1] and Commit 4cd58e9af8b9
("bpf: Support new 32bit offset jmp instruction") added support for new
32bit offset jmp instruction. Unfortunately, in function
bpf_adj_delta_to_off(), for new branch insn with 32bit offset, the offset
(plus/minor a small delta) compares to 16-bit offset bound
[S16_MIN, S16_MAX], which caused the following verification failure:
  $ ./test_progs-cpuv4 -t verif_scale_pyperf180
  ...
  insn 10 cannot be patched due to 16-bit range
  ...
  libbpf: failed to load object 'pyperf180.bpf.o'
  scale_test:FAIL:expect_success unexpected error: -12 (errno 12)
  #405     verif_scale_pyperf180:FAIL

Note that due to recent llvm18 development, the patch [2] (already applied
in bpf-next) needs to be applied to bpf tree for testing purpose.

The fix is rather simple. For 32bit offset branch insn, the adjusted
offset compares to [S32_MIN, S32_MAX] and then verification succeeded.

bpf_mem_cache_alloc_flags() may call __alloc() directly when there is no
free object in free list, but it doesn't initialize the allocation hint
for the returned pointer. It may lead to bad memory dereference when
freeing the pointer, so fix it by initializing the allocation hint.

<title>bpf: Fix precision tracking for BPF_ALU | BPF_TO_BE | BPF_END</title>

commit 291d044fd51f8484066300ee42afecf8c8db7b3a upstream.

BPF_END and BPF_NEG has a different specification for the source bit in
the opcode compared to other ALU/ALU64 instructions, and is either
reserved or use to specify the byte swap endianness. In both cases the
source bit does not encode source operand location, and src_reg is a
reserved field.

backtrack_insn() currently does not differentiate BPF_END and BPF_NEG
from other ALU/ALU64 instructions, which leads to r0 being incorrectly
marked as precise when processing BPF_ALU | BPF_TO_BE | BPF_END
instructions. This commit teaches backtrack_insn() to correctly mark
precision for such case.

While precise tracking of BPF_NEG and other BPF_END instructions are
correct and does not need fixing, this commit opt to process all BPF_NEG
and BPF_END instructions within the same if-clause to better align with
current convention used in the verifier (e.g. check_alu_op).

<title>bpf: Fix check_stack_write_fixed_off() to correctly spill imm</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 811c363645b33e6e22658634329e95f383dfc705 upstream.

In check_stack_write_fixed_off(), imm value is cast to u32 before being
spilled to the stack. Therefore, the sign information is lost, and the
range information is incorrect when load from the stack again.

For the following prog:
0: r2 = r10
1: *(u64*)(r2 -40) = -44
2: r0 = *(u64*)(r2 - 40)
3: if r0 s&lt;= 0xa goto +2
4: r0 = 1
5: exit
6: r0  = 0
7: exit

The verifier gives:
func#0 @0
0: R1=ctx(off=0,imm=0) R10=fp0
0: (bf) r2 = r10                      ; R2_w=fp0 R10=fp0
1: (7a) *(u64 *)(r2 -40) = -44        ; R2_w=fp0 fp-40_w=4294967252
2: (79) r0 = *(u64 *)(r2 -40)         ; R0_w=4294967252 R2_w=fp0
fp-40_w=4294967252
3: (c5) if r0 s&lt; 0xa goto pc+2
mark_precise: frame0: last_idx 3 first_idx 0 subseq_idx -1
mark_precise: frame0: regs=r0 stack= before 2: (79) r0 = *(u64 *)(r2 -40)
3: R0_w=4294967252
4: (b7) r0 = 1                        ; R0_w=1
5: (95) exit
verification time 7971 usec
stack depth 40
processed 6 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 0 total_states 0
peak_states 0 mark_read 0

So remove the incorrect cast, since imm field is declared as s32, and
__mark_reg_known() takes u64, so imm would be correctly sign extended
by compiler.

__mark_reg_known() takes u64, so imm would be correctly sign extended
by compiler.

[ Upstream commit 10e14e9652bf9e8104151bfd9200433083deae3d ]

When BPF program is verified in privileged mode, BPF verifier allows
bounded loops. This means that from CFG point of view there are
definitely some back-edges. Original commit adjusted check_cfg() logic
to not detect back-edges in control flow graph if they are resulting
from conditional jumps, which the idea that subsequent full BPF
verification process will determine whether such loops are bounded or
not, and either accept or reject the BPF program. At least that's my
reading of the intent.

Unfortunately, the implementation of this idea doesn't work correctly in
all possible situations. Conditional jump might not result in immediate
back-edge, but just a few unconditional instructions later we can arrive
at back-edge. In such situations check_cfg() would reject BPF program
even in privileged mode, despite it might be bounded loop. Next patch
adds one simple program demonstrating such scenario.

To keep things simple, instead of trying to detect back edges in
privileged mode, just assume every back edge is valid and let subsequent
BPF verification prove or reject bounded loops.

Note a few test changes. For unknown reason, we have a few tests that
are specified to detect a back-edge in a privileged mode, but looking at
their code it seems like the right outcome is passing check_cfg() and
letting subsequent verification to make a decision about bounded or not
bounded looping.

Bounded recursion case is also interesting. The example should pass, as
recursion is limited to just a few levels and so we never reach maximum
number of nested frames and never exhaust maximum stack depth. But the
way that max stack depth logic works today it falsely detects this as
exceeding max nested frame count. This patch series doesn't attempt to
fix this orthogonal problem, so we just adjust expected verifier failure.

[ Upstream commit 4bb7ea946a370707315ab774432963ce47291946 ]

Fix an edge case in __mark_chain_precision() which prematurely stops
backtracking instructions in a state if it happens that state's first
and last instruction indexes are the same. This situations doesn't
necessarily mean that there were no instructions simulated in a state,
but rather that we starting from the instruction, jumped around a bit,
and then ended up at the same instruction before checkpointing or
marking precision.

To distinguish between these two possible situations, we need to consult
jump history. If it's empty or contain a single record "bridging" parent
state and first instruction of processed state, then we indeed
backtracked all instructions in this state. But if history is not empty,
we are definitely not done yet.

Move this logic inside get_prev_insn_idx() to contain it more nicely.
Use -ENOENT return code to denote "we are out of instructions"
situation.

This bug was exposed by verifier_loop1.c's bounded_recursion subtest, once
the next fix in this patch set is applied.

[ Upstream commit 3feb263bb516ee7e1da0acd22b15afbb9a7daa19 ]

ldimm64 instructions are 16-byte long, and so have to be handled
appropriately in check_cfg(), just like the rest of BPF verifier does.

This has implications in three places:
  - when determining next instruction for non-jump instructions;
  - when determining next instruction for callback address ldimm64
    instructions (in visit_func_call_insn());
  - when checking for unreachable instructions, where second half of
    ldimm64 is expected to be unreachable;

We take this also as an opportunity to report jump into the middle of
ldimm64. And adjust few test_verifier tests accordingly.

<title>bpf: Ensure proper register state printing for cond jumps</title>

[ Upstream commit 1a8a315f008a58f54fecb012b928aa6a494435b3 ]

Verifier emits relevant register state involved in any given instruction
next to it after `;` to the right, if possible. Or, worst case, on the
separate line repeating instruction index.

E.g., a nice and simple case would be:

  2: (d5) if r0 s&lt;= 0x0 goto pc+1       ; R0_w=0

But if there is some intervening extra output (e.g., precision
backtracking log) involved, we are supposed to see the state after the
precision backtrack log:

  4: (75) if r0 s&gt;= 0x0 goto pc+1
  mark_precise: frame0: last_idx 4 first_idx 0 subseq_idx -1
  mark_precise: frame0: regs=r0 stack= before 2: (d5) if r0 s&lt;= 0x0 goto pc+1
  mark_precise: frame0: regs=r0 stack= before 1: (b7) r0 = 0
  6: R0_w=0

First off, note that in `6: R0_w=0` instruction index corresponds to the
next instruction, not to the conditional jump instruction itself, which
is wrong and we'll get to that.

But besides that, the above is a happy case that does work today. Yet,
if it so happens that precision backtracking had to traverse some of the
parent states, this `6: R0_w=0` state output would be missing.

This is due to a quirk of print_verifier_state() routine, which performs
mark_verifier_state_clean(env) at the end. This marks all registers as
"non-scratched", which means that subsequent logic to print *relevant*
registers (that is, "scratched ones") fails and doesn't see anything
relevant to print and skips the output altogether.

print_verifier_state() is used both to print instruction context, but
also to print an **entire** verifier state indiscriminately, e.g.,
during precision backtracking (and in a few other situations, like
during entering or exiting subprogram).  Which means if we have to print
entire parent state before getting to printing instruction context
state, instruction context is marked as clean and is omitted.

Long story short, this is definitely not intentional. So we fix this
behavior in this patch by teaching print_verifier_state() to clear
scratch state only if it was used to print instruction state, not the
parent/callback state. This is determined by print_all option, so if
it's not set, we don't clear scratch state. This fixes missing
instruction state for these cases.

As for the mismatched instruction index, we fix that by making sure we
call print_insn_state() early inside check_cond_jmp_op() before we
adjusted insn_idx based on jump branch taken logic. And with that we get
desired correct information:

  9: (16) if w4 == 0x1 goto pc+9
  mark_precise: frame0: last_idx 9 first_idx 9 subseq_idx -1
  mark_precise: frame0: parent state regs=r4 stack=: R2_w=1944 R4_rw=P1 R10=fp0
  mark_precise: frame0: last_idx 8 first_idx 0 subseq_idx 9
  mark_precise: frame0: regs=r4 stack= before 8: (66) if w4 s&gt; 0x3 goto pc+5
  mark_precise: frame0: regs=r4 stack= before 7: (b7) r4 = 1
  9: R4=1

[ Upstream commit 66d9111f3517f85ef2af0337ece02683ce0faf21 ]

Now that bpf_throw kfunc is the first such call instruction that has
noreturn semantics within the verifier, this also kicks in dead code
elimination in unprecedented ways. For one, any instruction following
a bpf_throw call will never be marked as seen. Moreover, if a callchain
ends up throwing, any instructions after the call instruction to the
eventually throwing subprog in callers will also never be marked as
seen.

The tempting way to fix this would be to emit extra 'int3' instructions
which bump the jited_len of a program, and ensure that during runtime
when a program throws, we can discover its boundaries even if the call
instruction to bpf_throw (or to subprogs that always throw) is emitted
as the final instruction in the program.

An example of such a program would be this:

do_something():
	...
	r0 = 0
	exit

foo():
	r1 = 0
	call bpf_throw
	r0 = 0
	exit

bar(cond):
	if r1 != 0 goto pc+2
	call do_something
	exit
	call foo
	r0 = 0  // Never seen by verifier
	exit	//

main(ctx):
	r1 = ...
	call bar
	r0 = 0
	exit

Here, if we do end up throwing, the stacktrace would be the following:

bpf_throw
foo
bar
main

In bar, the final instruction emitted will be the call to foo, as such,
the return address will be the subsequent instruction (which the JIT
emits as int3 on x86). This will end up lying outside the jited_len of
the program, thus, when unwinding, we will fail to discover the return
address as belonging to any program and end up in a panic due to the
unreliable stack unwinding of BPF programs that we never expect.

To remedy this case, make bpf_prog_ksym_find treat IP == ksym.end as
part of the BPF program, so that is_bpf_text_address returns true when
such a case occurs, and we are able to unwind reliably when the final
instruction ends up being a call instruction.

emits as int3 on x86). This will end up lying outside the jited_len of
the program, thus, when unwinding, we will fail to discover the return
address as belonging to any program and end up in a panic due to the
unreliable stack unwinding of BPF programs that we never expect.

To remedy this case, make bpf_prog_ksym_find treat IP == ksym.end as
part of the BPF program, so that is_bpf_text_address returns true when
such a case occurs, and we are able to unwind reliably when the final
instruction ends up being a call instruction.
