Fix an inconsistency between func_states_equal() and
collect_linked_regs():
- regsafe() uses check_ids() to verify that cached and current states
have identical register id mapping.
- func_states_equal() calls regsafe() only for registers computed as
live by compute_live_registers().
- clean_live_states() is supposed to remove dead registers from cached
states, but it can skip states belonging to an iterator-based loop.
- collect_linked_regs() collects all registers sharing the same id,
ignoring the marks computed by compute_live_registers().
Linked registers are stored in the state's jump history.
- backtrack_insn() marks all linked registers for an instruction
as precise whenever one of the linked registers is precise.
The above might lead to a scenario:
- There is an instruction I with register rY known to be dead at I.
- Instruction I is reached via two paths: first A, then B.
- On path A:
- There is an id link between registers rX and rY.
- Checkpoint C is created at I.
- Linked register set {rX, rY} is saved to the jump history.
- rX is marked as precise at I, causing both rX and rY
to be marked precise at C.
- On path B:
- There is no id link between registers rX and rY,
otherwise register states are sub-states of those in C.
- Because rY is dead at I, check_ids() returns true.
- Current state is considered equal to checkpoint C,
propagate_precision() propagates spurious precision
mark for register rY along the path B.
- Depending on a program, this might hit verifier_bug()
in the backtrack_insn(), e.g. if rY ∈ [r1..r5]
and backtrack_insn() spots a function call.
The reproducer program is in the next patch.
This was hit by sched_ext scx_lavd scheduler code.
Changes in tests:
- verifier_scalar_ids.c selftests need modification to preserve
some registers as live for __msg() checks.
- exceptions_assert.c adjusted to match changes in the verifier log,
R0 is dead after conditional instruction and thus does not get
range.
- precise.c adjusted to match changes in the verifier log, register r9
is dead after comparison and it's range is not important for test.

Same as in __reg64_deduce_bounds(), refine s32/u32 ranges
in __reg32_deduce_bounds() in the following situations:
- s32 range crosses U32_MAX/0 boundary, positive part of the s32 range
overlaps with u32 range:
0 U32_MAX
| [xxxxxxxxxxxxxx u32 range xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] |
|----------------------------|----------------------------|
|xxxxx s32 range xxxxxxxxx] [xxxxxxx|
0 S32_MAX S32_MIN -1
- s32 range crosses U32_MAX/0 boundary, negative part of the s32 range
overlaps with u32 range:
0 U32_MAX
| [xxxxxxxxxxxxxx u32 range xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] |
|----------------------------|----------------------------|
|xxxxxxxxx] [xxxxxxxxxxxx s32 range |
0 S32_MAX S32_MIN -1
- No refinement if ranges overlap in two intervals.
This helps for e.g. consider the following program:
call %[bpf_get_prandom_u32];
w0 &= 0xffffffff;
if w0 < 0x3 goto 1f; // on fall-through u32 range [3..U32_MAX]
if w0 s> 0x1 goto 1f; // on fall-through s32 range [S32_MIN..1]
if w0 s< 0x0 goto 1f; // range can be narrowed to [S32_MIN..-1]
r10 = 0;
1: ...;
The reg_bounds.c selftest is updated to incorporate identical logic,
refinement based on non-overflowing range halves:
((x ∩ [0, smax]) ∩ (y ∩ [0, smax])) ∪
((x ∩ [smin,-1]) ∩ (y ∩ [smin,-1]))

The root cause of this bug is that when 'bpf_link_put' reduces the
refcount of 'shim_link->link.link' to zero, the resource is considered
released but may still be referenced via 'tr->progs_hlist' in
'cgroup_shim_find'. The actual cleanup of 'tr->progs_hlist' in
'bpf_shim_tramp_link_release' is deferred. During this window, another
process can cause a use-after-free via 'bpf_trampoline_link_cgroup_shim'.
Based on Martin KaFai Lau's suggestions, I have created a simple patch.
To fix this:
Add an atomic non-zero check in 'bpf_trampoline_link_cgroup_shim'.
Only increment the refcount if it is not already zero.
Testing:
I verified the fix by adding a delay in
'bpf_shim_tramp_link_release' to make the bug easier to trigger:
static void bpf_shim_tramp_link_release(struct bpf_link *link)
{
/* ... */
if (!shim_link->trampoline)
return;
+ msleep(100);
WARN_ON_ONCE(bpf_trampoline_unlink_prog(&shim_link->link,
shim_link->trampoline, NULL));
bpf_trampoline_put(shim_link->trampoline);
}
Before the patch, running a PoC easily reproduced the crash(almost 100%)
with a call trace similar to KaiyanM's report.
After the patch, the bug no longer occurs even after millions of
iterations.

We're hitting an invariant violation in Cilium that sometimes leads to
BPF programs being rejected and Cilium failing to start [1]. The
following extract from verifier logs shows what's happening:
from 201 to 236: R1=0 R6=ctx() R7=1 R9=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3584,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100)) R10=fp0
236: R1=0 R6=ctx() R7=1 R9=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3584,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100)) R10=fp0
; if (magic == MARK_MAGIC_HOST || magic == MARK_MAGIC_OVERLAY || magic == MARK_MAGIC_ENCRYPT) @ bpf_host.c:1337
236: (16) if w9 == 0xe00 goto pc+45 ; R9=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3585,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100))
237: (16) if w9 == 0xf00 goto pc+1
verifier bug: REG INVARIANTS VIOLATION (false_reg1): range bounds violation u64=[0xe01, 0xe00] s64=[0xe01, 0xe00] u32=[0xe01, 0xe00] s32=[0xe01, 0xe00] var_off=(0xe00, 0x0)
We reach instruction 236 with two possible values for R9, 0xe00 and
0xf00. This is perfectly reflected in the tnum, but of course the ranges
are less accurate and cover [0xe00; 0xf00]. Taking the fallthrough path
at instruction 236 allows the verifier to reduce the range to
[0xe01; 0xf00]. The tnum is however not updated.
With these ranges, at instruction 237, the verifier is not able to
deduce that R9 is always equal to 0xf00. Hence the fallthrough pass is
explored first, the verifier refines the bounds using the assumption
that R9 != 0xf00, and ends up with an invariant violation.
This pattern of impossible branch + bounds refinement is common to all
invariant violations seen so far. The long-term solution is likely to
rely on the refinement + invariant violation check to detect dead
branches, as started by Eduard. To fix the current issue, we need
something with less refactoring that we can backport.
This patch uses the tnum_step helper introduced in the previous patch to
detect the above situation. In particular, three cases are now detected
in the bounds refinement:
1. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in umin.
u64: ---[xxxxxx]-----
tnum: --xx----------x-
2. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in the maximum value
represented by the tnum, called tmax.
u64: ---[xxxxxx]-----
tnum: xx-----x--------
3. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in between umin (excluded)
and umax.
u64: ---[xxxxxx]-----
tnum: xx----x-------x-
To detect these three cases, we call tnum_step(tnum, umin), which
returns the smallest member of the tnum greater than umin, called
tnum_next here. We're in case (1) if umin is part of the tnum and
tnum_next is greater than umax. We're in case (2) if umin is not part of
the tnum and tnum_next is equal to tmax. Finally, we're in case (3) if
umin is not part of the tnum, tnum_next is inferior or equal to umax,
and calling tnum_step a second time gives us a value past umax.
This change implements these three cases. With it, the above bytecode
looks as follows:
0: (85) call bpf_get_prandom_u32#7 ; R0=scalar()
1: (47) r0 |= 3584 ; R0=scalar(smin=0x8000000000000e00,umin=umin32=3584,smin32=0x80000e00,var_off=(0xe00; 0xfffffffffffff1ff))
2: (57) r0 &= 3840 ; R0=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3584,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100))
3: (15) if r0 == 0xe00 goto pc+2 ; R0=3840
4: (15) if r0 == 0xf00 goto pc+1
4: R0=3840
6: (95) exit
In addition to the new selftests, this change was also verified with
Agni [3]. For the record, the raw SMT is available at [4]. The property
it verifies is that: If a concrete value x is contained in all input
abstract values, after __update_reg_bounds, it will continue to be
contained in all output abstract values.

This commit introduces tnum_step(), a function that, when given t, and a
number z returns the smallest member of t larger than z. The number z
must be greater or equal to the smallest member of t and less than the
largest member of t.
The first step is to compute j, a number that keeps all of t's known
bits, and matches all unknown bits to z's bits. Since j is a member of
the t, it is already a candidate for result. However, we want our result
to be (minimally) greater than z.
There are only two possible cases:
(1) Case j <= z. In this case, we want to increase the value of j and
make it > z.
(2) Case j > z. In this case, we want to decrease the value of j while
keeping it > z.
(Case 1) j <= z
t = xx11x0x0
z = 10111101 (189)
j = 10111000 (184)
^
k
(Case 1.1) Let's first consider the case where j < z. We will address j
== z later.
Since z > j, there had to be a bit position that was 1 in z and a 0 in
j, beyond which all positions of higher significance are equal in j and
z. Further, this position could not have been unknown in a, because the
unknown positions of a match z. This position had to be a 1 in z and
known 0 in t.
Let k be position of the most significant 1-to-0 flip. In our example, k
= 3 (starting the count at 1 at the least significant bit). Setting (to
1) the unknown bits of t in positions of significance smaller than
k will not produce a result > z. Hence, we must set/unset the unknown
bits at positions of significance higher than k. Specifically, we look
for the next larger combination of 1s and 0s to place in those
positions, relative to the combination that exists in z. We can achieve
this by concatenating bits at unknown positions of t into an integer,
adding 1, and writing the bits of that result back into the
corresponding bit positions previously extracted from z.
>From our example, considering only positions of significance greater
than k:
t = xx..x
z = 10..1
+ 1
-----
11..0
This is the exact combination 1s and 0s we need at the unknown bits of t
in positions of significance greater than k. Further, our result must
only increase the value minimally above z. Hence, unknown bits in
positions of significance smaller than k should remain 0. We finally
have,
result = 11110000 (240)
(Case 1.2) Now consider the case when j = z, for example
t = 1x1x0xxx
z = 10110100 (180)
j = 10110100 (180)
Matching the unknown bits of the t to the bits of z yielded exactly z.
To produce a number greater than z, we must set/unset the unknown bits
in t, and *all* the unknown bits of t candidates for being set/unset. We
can do this similar to Case 1.1, by adding 1 to the bits extracted from
the masked bit positions of z. Essentially, this case is equivalent to
Case 1.1, with k = 0.
t = 1x1x0xxx
z = .0.1.100
+ 1
---------
.0.1.101
This is the exact combination of bits needed in the unknown positions of
t. After recalling the known positions of t, we get
result = 10110101 (181)
(Case 2) j > z
t = x00010x1
z = 10000010 (130)
j = 10001011 (139)
^
k
Since j > z, there had to be a bit position which was 0 in z, and a 1 in
j, beyond which all positions of higher significance are equal in j and
z. This position had to be a 0 in z and known 1 in t. Let k be the
position of the most significant 0-to-1 flip. In our example, k = 4.
Because of the 0-to-1 flip at position k, a member of t can become
greater than z if the bits in positions greater than k are themselves >=
to z. To make that member *minimally* greater than z, the bits in
positions greater than k must be exactly = z. Hence, we simply match all
of t's unknown bits in positions more significant than k to z's bits. In
positions less significant than k, we set all t's unknown bits to 0
to retain minimality.
In our example, in positions of greater significance than k (=4),
t=x000. These positions are matched with z (1000) to produce 1000. In
positions of lower significance than k, t=10x1. All unknown bits are set
to 0 to produce 1001. The final result is:
result = 10001001 (137)
This concludes the computation for a result > z that is a member of t.
The procedure for tnum_step() in this commit implements the idea
described above. As a proof of correctness, we verified the algorithm
against a logical specification of tnum_step. The specification asserts
the following about the inputs t, z and output res that:
1. res is a member of t, and
2. res is strictly greater than z, and
3. there does not exist another value res2 such that
3a. res2 is also a member of t, and
3b. res2 is greater than z
3c. res2 is smaller than res
We checked the implementation against this logical specification using
an SMT solver. The verification formula in SMTLIB format is available
at [1]. The verification returned an "unsat": indicating that no input
assignment exists for which the implementation and the specification
produce different outputs.
In addition, we also automatically generated the logical encoding of the
C implementation using Agni [2] and verified it against the same
specification. This verification also returned an "unsat", confirming
that the implementation is equivalent to the specification. The formula
for this check is also available at [3].

On PREEMPT_RT kernels, the per-CPU xdp_dev_bulk_queue (bq) can be
accessed concurrently by multiple preemptible tasks on the same CPU.
The original code assumes bq_enqueue() and __dev_flush() run atomically
with respect to each other on the same CPU, relying on
local_bh_disable() to prevent preemption. However, on PREEMPT_RT,
local_bh_disable() only calls migrate_disable() (when
PREEMPT_RT_NEEDS_BH_LOCK is not set) and does not disable
preemption, which allows CFS scheduling to preempt a task during
bq_xmit_all(), enabling another task on the same CPU to enter
bq_enqueue() and operate on the same per-CPU bq concurrently.
This leads to several races:
1. Double-free / use-after-free on bq->q[]: bq_xmit_all() snapshots
cnt = bq->count, then iterates bq->q[0..cnt-1] to transmit frames.
If preempted after the snapshot, a second task can call bq_enqueue()
-> bq_xmit_all() on the same bq, transmitting (and freeing) the
same frames. When the first task resumes, it operates on stale
pointers in bq->q[], causing use-after-free.
2. bq->count and bq->q[] corruption: concurrent bq_enqueue() modifying
bq->count and bq->q[] while bq_xmit_all() is reading them.
3. dev_rx/xdp_prog teardown race: __dev_flush() clears bq->dev_rx and
bq->xdp_prog after bq_xmit_all(). If preempted between
bq_xmit_all() return and bq->dev_rx = NULL, a preempting
bq_enqueue() sees dev_rx still set (non-NULL), skips adding bq to
the flush_list, and enqueues a frame. When __dev_flush() resumes,
it clears dev_rx and removes bq from the flush_list, orphaning the
newly enqueued frame.
4. __list_del_clearprev() on flush_node: similar to the cpumap race,
both tasks can call __list_del_clearprev() on the same flush_node,
the second dereferences the prev pointer already set to NULL.
The race between task A (__dev_flush -> bq_xmit_all) and task B
(bq_enqueue -> bq_xmit_all) on the same CPU:
Task A (xdp_do_flush) Task B (ndo_xdp_xmit redirect)
---------------------- --------------------------------
__dev_flush(flush_list)
bq_xmit_all(bq)
cnt = bq->count /* e.g. 16 */
/* start iterating bq->q[] */
<-- CFS preempts Task A -->
bq_enqueue(dev, xdpf)
bq->count == DEV_MAP_BULK_SIZE
bq_xmit_all(bq, 0)
cnt = bq->count /* same 16! */
ndo_xdp_xmit(bq->q[])
/* frames freed by driver */
bq->count = 0
<-- Task A resumes -->
ndo_xdp_xmit(bq->q[])
/* use-after-free: frames already freed! */
Fix this by adding a local_lock_t to xdp_dev_bulk_queue and acquiring
it in bq_enqueue() and __dev_flush(). These paths already run under
local_bh_disable(), so use local_lock_nested_bh() which on non-RT is
a pure annotation with no overhead, and on PREEMPT_RT provides a
per-CPU sleeping lock that serializes access to the bq.

Currently, when use_kmalloc_nolock is false, the freeing of fields for a
local storage selem is done eagerly before waiting for the RCU or RCU
tasks trace grace period to elapse. This opens up a window where the
program which has access to the selem can recreate the fields after the
freeing of fields is done eagerly, causing memory leaks when the element
is finally freed and returned to the kernel.
Make a few changes to address this. First, delay the freeing of fields
until after the grace periods have expired using a __bpf_selem_free_rcu
wrapper which is eventually invoked after transitioning through the
necessary number of grace period waits. Replace usage of the kfree_rcu
with call_rcu to be able to take a custom callback. Finally, care needs
to be taken to extend the rcu barriers for all cases, and not just when
use_kmalloc_nolock is true, as RCU and RCU tasks trace callbacks can be
in flight for either case and access the smap field, which is used to
obtain the BTF record to walk over special fields in the map value.
While we're at it, drop migrate_disable() from bpf_selem_free_rcu, since
migration should be disabled for RCU callbacks already.

BPF hash map may now use the map_check_btf() callback to decide whether
to set a dtor on its bpf_mem_alloc or not. Unlike C++ where members can
opt out of const-ness using mutable, we must lose the const qualifier on
the callback such that we can avoid the ugly cast. Make the change and
adjust all existing users, and lose the comment in hashtab.c.

There is a race window where BPF hash map elements can leak special
fields if the program with access to the map value recreates these
special fields between the check_and_free_fields done on the map value
and its eventual return to the memory allocator.
Several ways were explored prior to this patch, most notably [0] tried
to use a poison value to reject attempts to recreate special fields for
map values that have been logically deleted but still accessible to BPF
programs (either while sitting in the free list or when reused). While
this approach works well for task work, timers, wq, etc., it is harder
to apply the idea to kptrs, which have a similar race and failure mode.
Instead, we change bpf_mem_alloc to allow registering destructor for
allocated elements, such that when they are returned to the allocator,
any special fields created while they were accessible to programs in the
mean time will be freed. If these values get reused, we do not free the
fields again before handing the element back. The special fields thus
may remain initialized while the map value sits in a free list.
When bpf_mem_alloc is retired in the future, a similar concept can be
introduced to kmalloc_nolock-backed kmem_cache, paired with the existing
idea of a constructor.
Note that the destructor registration happens in map_check_btf, after
the BTF record is populated and (at that point) avaiable for inspection
and duplication. Duplication is necessary since the freeing of embedded
bpf_mem_alloc can be decoupled from actual map lifetime due to logic
introduced to reduce the cost of rcu_barrier()s in mem alloc free path in
9f2c6e96c6 ("bpf: Optimize rcu_barrier usage between hash map and bpf_mem_alloc.").
As such, once all callbacks are done, we must also free the duplicated
record. To remove dependency on the bpf_map itself, also stash the key
size of the map to obtain value from htab_elem long after the map is
gone.

get_upper_ifindexes() iterates over all upper devices and writes their
indices into an array without checking bounds.
Also the callers assume that the max number of upper devices is
MAX_NEST_DEV and allocate excluded_devices[1+MAX_NEST_DEV] on the stack,
but that assumption is not correct and the number of upper devices could
be larger than MAX_NEST_DEV (e.g., many macvlans), causing a
stack-out-of-bounds write.
Add a max parameter to get_upper_ifindexes() to avoid the issue.
When there are too many upper devices, return -EOVERFLOW and abort the
redirect.
To reproduce, create more than MAX_NEST_DEV(8) macvlans on a device with
an XDP program attached using BPF_F_BROADCAST | BPF_F_EXCLUDE_INGRESS.
Then send a packet to the device to trigger the XDP redirect path.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.
Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.
So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.
The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

The add_fd_from_fd_array() function takes a file descriptor as a
parameter and tries to add either map or btf to the corresponding
list of used objects. As was reported by Dan Carpenter, since the
commit c81e4322acf0 ("bpf: Fix a potential use-after-free of BTF
object"), the fdget() is called twice on the file descriptor, and
thus userspace, potentially, can replace the file pointed to by the
file descriptor in between the two calls. On practice, this shouldn't
break anything on the kernel side, but for consistency fix the code
such that only one fdget() is executed.

Take care of rqspinlock error in bpf_local_storage_{map_free, destroy}()
properly by switching to bpf_selem_unlink_nofail().
Both functions iterate their own RCU-protected list of selems and call
bpf_selem_unlink_nofail(). In map_free(), to prevent infinite loop when
both map_free() and destroy() fail to remove a selem from b->list
(extremely unlikely), switch to hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(). In destroy(),
also switch to hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() since we no longer iterate
local_storage->list under local_storage->lock.
bpf_selem_unlink() now becomes dedicated to helpers and syscalls paths
so reuse_now should always be false. Remove it from the argument and
hardcode it.

Introduce bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() to properly handle errors returned
from rqspinlock in bpf_local_storage_map_free() and
bpf_local_storage_destroy() where the operation must succeeds.
The idea of bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() is to allow an selem to be
partially linked and use atomic operation on a bit field, selem->state,
to determine when and who can free the selem if any unlink under lock
fails. An selem initially is fully linked to a map and a local storage.
Under normal circumstances, bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() will be able to
grab locks and unlink a selem from map and local storage in sequeunce,
just like bpf_selem_unlink(), and then free it after an RCU grace period.
However, if any of the lock attempts fails, it will only clear
SDATA(selem)->smap or selem->local_storage depending on the caller and
set SELEM_MAP_UNLINKED or SELEM_STORAGE_UNLINKED according to the
caller. Then, after both map_free() and destroy() see the selem and the
state becomes SELEM_UNLINKED, one of two racing caller can succeed in
cmpxchg the state from SELEM_UNLINKED to SELEM_TOFREE, ensuring no
double free or memory leak.
To make sure bpf_obj_free_fields() is done only once and when map is
still present, it is called when unlinking an selem from b->list under
b->lock.
To make sure uncharging memory is done only when the owner is still
present in map_free(), block destroy() from returning until there is no
pending map_free().
Since smap may not be valid in destroy(), bpf_selem_unlink_nofail()
skips bpf_selem_unlink_storage_nolock_misc() when called from destroy().
This is okay as bpf_local_storage_destroy() will return the remaining
amount of memory charge tracked by mem_charge to the owner to uncharge.
It is also safe to skip clearing local_storage->owner and owner_storage
as the owner is being freed and no users or bpf programs should be able
to reference the owner and using local_storage.
Finally, access of selem, SDATA(selem)->smap and selem->local_storage
are racy. Callers will protect these fields with RCU.

The next patch will introduce bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() to handle
rqspinlock errors. bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() will allow an selem to be
partially unlinked from map or local storage. Save memory allocation
method in selem so that later an selem can be correctly freed even when
SDATA(selem)->smap is init to NULL.
In addition, keep track of memory charge to the owner in local storage
so that later bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() can return the correct memory
charge to the owner. Updating local_storage->mem_charge is protected by
local_storage->lock.
Finally, extract miscellaneous tasks performed when unlinking an selem
from local_storage into bpf_selem_unlink_storage_nolock_misc(). It will
be reused by bpf_selem_unlink_nofail().
This patch also takes the chance to remove local_storage->smap, which
is no longer used since commit f484f4a3e0 ("bpf: Replace bpf memory

To prepare for changing bpf_local_storage_map_bucket::lock to rqspinlock,
convert bpf_selem_unlink_map() to failable. It still always succeeds and
returns 0 for now.
Since some operations updating local storage cannot fail in the middle,
open-code bpf_selem_unlink_map() to take the b->lock before the
operation. There are two such locations:
- bpf_local_storage_alloc()
The first selem will be unlinked from smap if cmpxchg owner_storage_ptr
fails, which should not fail. Therefore, hold b->lock when linking
until allocation complete. Helpers that assume b->lock is held by
callers are introduced: bpf_selem_link_map_nolock() and
bpf_selem_unlink_map_nolock().
- bpf_local_storage_update()
The three step update process: link_map(new_selem),
link_storage(new_selem), and unlink_map(old_selem) should not fail in
the middle.
In bpf_selem_unlink(), bpf_selem_unlink_map() and
bpf_selem_unlink_storage() should either all succeed or fail as a whole
instead of failing in the middle. So, return if unlink_map() failed.
Remove the selem_linked_to_map_lockless() check as an selem in the
common paths (not bpf_local_storage_map_free() or
bpf_local_storage_destroy()), will be unlinked under b->lock and
local_storage->lock and therefore no other threads can unlink the selem
from map at the same time.
In bpf_local_storage_destroy(), ignore the return of
bpf_selem_unlink_map() for now. A later patch will allow
bpf_local_storage_destroy() to unlink selems even when failing to
acquire locks.
Note that while this patch removes all callers of selem_linked_to_map(),
a later patch that introduces bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() will use it
again.

A later bpf_local_storage refactor will acquire all locks before
performing any update. To simplified the number of locks needed to take
in bpf_local_storage_map_update(), determine the bucket based on the
local_storage an selem belongs to instead of the selem pointer.
Currently, when a new selem needs to be created to replace the old selem
in bpf_local_storage_map_update(), locks of both buckets need to be
acquired to prevent racing. This can be simplified if the two selem
belongs to the same bucket so that only one bucket needs to be locked.
Therefore, instead of hashing selem, hashing the local_storage pointer
the selem belongs.
Performance wise, this is slightly better as update now requires locking
one bucket. It should not change the level of contention on one bucket
as the pointers to local storages of selems in a map are just as unique
as pointers to selems.

call_rcu_tasks_trace() is not safe from in_nmi() and not reentrant.
To prevent deadlock on raw_spin_lock_rcu_node(rtpcp) or memory corruption
defer to irq_work when IRQs are disabled. call_rcu_tasks_generic()

Currently, bpf_map_get_info_by_fd calculates and caches the hash of the
map regardless of the map's frozen state.
This leads to a TOCTOU bug where userspace can call
BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD to cache the hash and then modify the map
contents before freezing.
Therefore, a trusted loader can be tricked into verifying the stale hash
while loading the modified contents.
Fix this by returning -EPERM if the map is not frozen when the hash is
requested. This ensures the hash is only generated for the final,
immutable state of the map.

When freeing a bpf_async_cb in bpf_async_cb_rcu_tasks_trace_free(), in
case the wq callback is not scheduled, doing cancel_work() currently
returns false and leads to retry of RCU tasks trace grace period. If the
callback is never scheduled, we keep retrying indefinitely and don't put
the prog reference.
Since the only race we care about here is against a potentially running
wq callback in the first grace period, it should finish by the second
grace period, hence check work_busy() result to detect presence of
running wq callback if it's not pending, otherwise free the object
immediately without retrying.
Reasoning behind the check and its correctness with racing wq callback
invocation: cancel_work is supposed to be synchronized, hence calling it
first and getting false would mean that work is definitely not pending,
at this point, either the work is not scheduled at all or already
running, or we race and it already finished by the time we checked for
it using work_busy(). In case it is running, we synchronize using
pool->lock to check the current work running there, if we match, it
means we extend the wait by another grace period using retry = true,
otherwise either the work already finished running or was never
scheduled, so we can free the bpf_async_cb right away.

Previously, the verifier only tracked positive constant deltas between
linked registers using BPF_ADD. This limitation meant patterns like:
r1 = r0;
r1 += -4;
if r1 s>= 0 goto l0_%=; // r1 >= 0 implies r0 >= 4
// verifier couldn't propagate bounds back to r0
if r0 != 0 goto l0_%=;
r0 /= 0; // Verifier thinks this is reachable
l0_%=:
Similar limitation exists for 32-bit registers.
With this change, the verifier can now track negative deltas in reg->off
enabling bound propagation for the above pattern.
For alu32, we make sure the destination register has the upper 32 bits
as 0s before creating the link. BPF_ADD_CONST is split into
BPF_ADD_CONST64 and BPF_ADD_CONST32, the latter is used in case of alu32
and sync_linked_regs uses this to zext the result if known_reg has this
flag.

This patch implements bitwise tracking (tnum analysis) for BPF_END
(byte swap) operation.
Currently, the BPF verifier does not track value for BPF_END operation,
treating the result as completely unknown. This limits the verifier's
ability to prove safety of programs that perform endianness conversions,
which are common in networking code.
For example, the following code pattern for port number validation:
int test(struct pt_regs *ctx) {
__u64 x = bpf_get_prandom_u32();
x &= 0x3f00; // Range: [0, 0x3f00], var_off: (0x0; 0x3f00)
x = bswap16(x); // Should swap to range [0, 0x3f], var_off: (0x0; 0x3f)
if (x > 0x3f) goto trap;
return 0;
trap:
return *(u64 *)NULL; // Should be unreachable
}
Currently generates verifier output:
1: (54) w0 &= 16128 ; R0=scalar(smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=16128,var_off=(0x0; 0x3f00))
2: (d7) r0 = bswap16 r0 ; R0=scalar()
3: (25) if r0 > 0x3f goto pc+2 ; R0=scalar(smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=63,var_off=(0x0; 0x3f))
Without this patch, even though the verifier knows `x` has certain bits
set, after bswap16, it loses all tracking information and treats port
as having a completely unknown value [0, 65535].
According to the BPF instruction set[1], there are 3 kinds of BPF_END:
1. `bswap(16|32|64)`: opcode=0xd7 (BPF_END | BPF_ALU64 | BPF_TO_LE)
- do unconditional swap
2. `le(16|32|64)`: opcode=0xd4 (BPF_END | BPF_ALU | BPF_TO_LE)
- on big-endian: do swap
- on little-endian: truncation (16/32-bit) or no-op (64-bit)
3. `be(16|32|64)`: opcode=0xdc (BPF_END | BPF_ALU | BPF_TO_BE)
- on little-endian: do swap
- on big-endian: truncation (16/32-bit) or no-op (64-bit)
Since BPF_END operations are inherently bit-wise permutations, tnum
(bitwise tracking) offers the most efficient and precise mechanism
for value analysis. By implementing `tnum_bswap16`, `tnum_bswap32`,
and `tnum_bswap64`, we can derive exact `var_off` values concisely,
directly reflecting the bit-level changes.
Here is the overview of changes:
1. In `tnum_bswap(16|32|64)` (kernel/bpf/tnum.c):
Call `swab(16|32|64)` function on the value and mask of `var_off`, and
do truncation for 16/32-bit cases.
2. In `adjust_scalar_min_max_vals` (kernel/bpf/verifier.c):
Call helper function `scalar_byte_swap`.
- Only do byte swap when
* alu64 (unconditional swap) OR
* switching between big-endian and little-endian machines.
- If need do byte swap:
* Firstly call `tnum_bswap(16|32|64)` to update `var_off`.
* Then reset the bound since byte swap scrambles the range.
- For 16/32-bit cases, truncate dst register to match the swapped size.
This enables better verification of networking code that frequently uses
byte swaps for protocol processing, reducing false positive rejections.

Scalar register IDs are used by the verifier to track relationships
between registers and enable bounds propagation across those
relationships. Once an ID becomes singular (i.e. only a single
register/stack slot carries it), it can no longer contribute to bounds
propagation and effectively becomes stale. The previous commit makes the
verifier clear such ids before caching the state.
When comparing the current and cached states for pruning, these stale
IDs can cause technically equivalent states to be considered different
and thus prevent pruning.
For example, in the selftest added in the next commit, two registers -
r6 and r7 are not linked to any other registers and get cached with
id=0, in the current state, they are both linked to each other with
id=A. Before this commit, check_scalar_ids would give temporary ids to
r6 and r7 (say tid1 and tid2) and then check_ids() would map tid1->A,
and when it would see tid2->A, it would not consider these state
equivalent.
Relax scalar ID equivalence by treating rold->id == 0 as "independent":
if the old state did not rely on any ID relationships for a register,
then any ID/linking present in the current state only adds constraints
and is always safe to accept for pruning. Implement this by returning
true immediately in check_scalar_ids() when old_id == 0.
Maintain correctness for the opposite direction (old_id != 0 && cur_id
== 0) by still allocating a temporary ID for cur_id == 0. This avoids
incorrectly allowing multiple independent current registers (id==0) to
satisfy a single linked old ID during mapping.

The maybe_widen_reg() function widens imprecise scalar registers to
unknown when their values differ between the cached and current states.
Previously, it used regs_exact() which also compared register IDs via
check_ids(), requiring registers to have matching IDs (or mapped IDs) to
be considered exact.
For scalar widening purposes, what matters is whether the value tracking
(bounds, tnum, var_off) is the same, not whether the IDs match. Two
scalars with identical value constraints but different IDs represent the
same abstract value and don't need to be widened.
Introduce scalars_exact_for_widen() that only compares the
value-tracking portion of bpf_reg_state (fields before 'id'). This
allows the verifier to preserve more scalar value information during
state merging when IDs differ but actual tracked values are identical,
reducing unnecessary widening and potentially improving verification
precision.
