23724e009f selftests/bpf: Reject legacy packet loads from callbacks
Add verifier coverage for the callback restriction on legacy packet
loads. Exercise BPF_LD_ABS directly in a bpf_loop callback and
BPF_LD_IND from a static subprogram called by the callback, ensuring that
callback context follows nested static calls.

Also exercise a callback which reaches BPF_LD_IND through a global
function and its static descendant. A sibling success case calls the same
global chain outside a callback, preserving support for ordinary global
packet loads. Existing success cases continue to cover loads from ordinary
static subprograms.

The failure cases expect the policy-specific rejection instead of reaching
the implicit-return path, triggering a verifier warning, or being accepted
through a function boundary.

e7d28823c6 bpf: Reject legacy packet loads from callbacks
check_ld_abs() models a failed BPF_LD_ABS or BPF_LD_IND in a
subprogram as an implicit return with R0 set to zero. It calls
prepare_func_exit() to explore this synthesized path.

When the load is reached directly from a synchronous callback,
prepare_func_exit() enforces the callback return contract and marks R0
precise. R0 is not derived from a real instruction on this path, so
precision backtracking reaches the callback call with R0 still requested
and triggers the "callback unexpected regs" verifier bug. A privileged
program loader can therefore cause a verifier warning and an -EFAULT
BPF_PROG_LOAD.

These legacy packet-load instructions are deprecated. Reject them from
callbacks rather than complicating their implicit-return model. Check all
active frames before constructing the implicit return so nested static
subprograms cannot hide the callback context.

Global functions are verified independently with a fresh frame zero, so
an active-frame check cannot identify a global function called from a
callback. Also check the complete subprogram call graph during stack-depth
validation and reject a function containing a legacy load when any caller
is a callback. This covers global and static descendants without making
has_ld_abs transitive, preserving its per-function BTF return-type check.
Ordinary uses outside callbacks remain supported.

1ba0d0d8b6 selftests/bpf: Check faultable stack helper contexts
Add verifier coverage for the sleepable bpf_get_stack() and
bpf_get_task_stack() implementations. Call each helper while preemption is
disabled and require the verifier to reject it as sleepable.

Both programs load when the prototypes lack might_sleep, so the
expected-failure tests fail. Keep success controls outside the
non-preemptible region to ensure ordinary calls from sleepable uprobes
remain valid.

9d02927fdf bpf: Mark faultable stack helpers as sleepable
The faultable variants of bpf_get_stack() and bpf_get_task_stack() pass
may_fault=true into the common stack collection code. Resolving user-space
build IDs may then call build_id_parse_file() and block on filesystem
reads.

Neither helper prototype sets might_sleep. Since prototype selection uses
the sleepability of the whole program, the verifier can still allow these
helpers from a non-sleepable region within that program, such as an
explicit RCU or preemption-disabled region. The task-stack helper can also
be called from a non-sleepable timer callback of a sleepable program.

Mark both faultable prototypes as sleepable. The existing helper context
check then rejects these calls while continuing to allow them in genuinely
sleepable contexts.

687b2729ce selftests/bpf: Test btf lookup helper sleepability
Add an expected failure case which calls
bpf_btf_find_by_name_kind() from a BPF timer callback. Without the
helper prototype being marked sleepable, the verifier accepts the
program and the load unexpectedly succeeds.

Also add a positive control which calls the helper directly from a
syscall program. This verifies that marking the helper sleepable only
rejects it in non-sleepable regions.

620614bf76 bpf: Mark bpf_btf_find_by_name_kind() as sleepable
When bpf_btf_find_by_name_kind() finds a type in module BTF, it
returns a new BTF object fd through __btf_new_fd(). This reaches
anon_inode_getfd(), which can sleep while allocating or expanding the
current task fd table.

The helper prototype does not set might_sleep, so the verifier allows
the helper in non-sleepable contexts such as BPF timer callbacks. The
fd allocation can then sleep in softirq context and install the fd into
the interrupted task.

Mark the helper as sleepable. This preserves calls from the main body
of a sleepable syscall program while rejecting calls from its
non-sleepable regions.

22ab49afe1 selftests/bpf: Check rbtree callback restrictions in subprogs
Add a verifier failure case where an rbtree comparator enters two nested
static subprograms and the innermost subprogram unlocks and relocks the
tree. Restoring the lock keeps the surrounding callback state balanced,
so the test specifically exercises whether the callback restriction follows
the nested calls.

static subprogram. This preserves the intended support for verified static

369f4ce734 bpf: Check ancestor frames for rbtree callbacks
bpf_rbtree_add() invokes its comparator while the caller holds the root
lock. The native insertion code retains raw parent and link pointers across
the callback, so the verifier prohibits unlocking, consuming tree nodes,
or changing RCU state from that callback.

in_rbtree_lock_required_cb() only checks the innermost verifier frame.
Static subprogram calls are permitted while holding a spin lock, and such a
call pushes a frame without in_callback_fn set. Consequently, all callback
restrictions disappear in the nested frame. The subprogram can unlock the
tree, remove and drop the node being compared, then relock. Native insertion
resumes with the stale parent pointer and links freed memory into the tree.

Walk all active frames for the rbtree callback instead. Benign static
subprograms remain permitted, while callback restrictions follow execution
into nested frames.

4814ed6406 bpf: zero extend the result of an arena 32-bit cmpxchg
bpf_convert_ctx_accesses() rewrites an atomic on an arena pointer from
BPF_STX | BPF_ATOMIC to BPF_STX | BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC, and it runs before
bpf_opt_subreg_zext_lo32_rnd_hi32().

That pass emits an explicit zero extension for a 32-bit cmpxchg even
when bpf_jit_needs_zext() is false. This is done because on some
architectures 32-bit cmpxchg requires explicit zero extension for the
dst register. E.g. on x86-64 'lock cmpxchg' does not change the %eax
if comparison is successful, while BPF semantics declare that each
operation on a 32-bit register zero extends it's upper half.

is_cmpxchg_insn() matches BPF_MODE == BPF_ATOMIC only, so an arena
cmpxchg misses said zero extension adjustment. This patch adjusts
is_cmpxchg_insn() to match BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC alongside BPF_ATOMIC.

d055247942 bpf: Mark syscall helpers as sleepable
bpf_sys_bpf() executes the bpf(2) syscall body, which can take mutexes,
allocate with GFP_KERNEL, and wait for an RCU grace period.
bpf_sys_close() reaches close_fd() and filp_close(), which can sleep as
well.

Both helpers are limited to BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL, whose main program is
sleepable. That does not make every callback sleepable: a syscall program
can register a bpf_timer callback, and the verifier checks that callback
in a non-sleepable context while retaining the syscall helper set.

Without .might_sleep on the prototypes, such a callback can invoke
bpf_sys_bpf() from hrtimer softirq context and trigger a
scheduling-while-atomic failure. bpf_sys_close() is exposed through the
same missing context check.

Set .might_sleep on both prototypes so the existing helper-context check
rejects them from timer callbacks and other atomic regions. Calls from the
sleepable main body remain valid.

do_wait() passes wo->wo_pid to the sched_process_wait tracepoint.
kernel_wait4() leaves wo_pid NULL for wait4(-1), and

btf_ctx_access() currently types argument 0 as PTR_TO_BTF_ID |
PTR_TRUSTED. Without PTR_MAYBE_NULL, the verifier accepts an unchecked
dereference. Trusted pointer loads have no fault protection, so a wait for
any child can then cause a NULL pointer dereference in JITed BPF code.

Add sched_process_wait to raw_tp_null_args[] with argument 0 marked
nullable. The verifier rejects an unchecked dereference while preserving
access after the program checks the pointer for NULL.

08b4dc83d9 selftests/bpf: Reject resilient unlock in rbtree callback
Add a load-only verifier regression for a resilient lock operation in an
rbtree comparison callback. The program holds the rbtree's regular spin
lock and a separate resilient lock, then releases the resilient lock from
the callback. This isolates the missing kfunc policy check without running
a concurrent tree mutation.

Release the resilient lock before the regular lock on the outer
fall-through. The broken verifier therefore accepts the balanced program,

7b7b8b5960 bpf: Reject resilient lock operations in rbtree callbacks
__bpf_rbtree_add() keeps parent and link pointers live across calls to the
program-supplied comparison callback. The verifier therefore requires the
root's lock to remain held throughout the callback.

The helper path enforces this rule for bpf_spin_lock() and
bpf_spin_unlock(), but the resilient lock kfunc argument path does not.
Since resilient locks may protect BPF rbtree roots, a callback can release
the root lock and let another CPU remove and free the node referenced by
the in-progress tree walk. The walk then resumes using freed pointers.

Reject resilient lock kfuncs in an rbtree comparison callback, matching
the existing policy for the spin lock helpers. Resilient-lock-protected
trees remain valid when their comparison callbacks leave lock state alone.

266aa4ad0b bpf: Reject tail calls directly from callback frames
A tail call from a non-zero frame is modeled as a return from that frame.
The verifier makes R0 unknown and calls prepare_func_exit() for the taken
branch.

When the current frame is a synchronous callback, prepare_func_exit()
enforces the callback return-value contract and marks R0 precise. Since the
tail-call path synthesized R0 rather than deriving it from an instruction,
precision backtracking reaches the callback-calling instruction with R0
still requested and triggers the "callback unexpected regs" verifier bug.
A CAP_BPF task can therefore cause a WARN and an -EFAULT BPF_PROG_LOAD.

Tail calls reachable from callbacks are already rejected later by
check_max_stack_depth(). Reject a tail call made directly by a callback
before constructing the inconsistent return state, using the existing
diagnostic. Tail calls from ordinary subprograms keep their current
behavior.

77515ab12e bpf: Mark signal tracepoint siginfo arguments as scalar
The signal_generate and signal_deliver tracepoints declare their info
argument as a struct kernel_siginfo pointer. btf_ctx_access() therefore
treats it as a trusted pointer for tp_btf programs.

Signal delivery also uses SEND_SIG_NOINFO and SEND_SIG_PRIV as special
values for this argument. Those values are zero and one respectively,
and are not pointers. A tp_btf program can currently dereference either
value and fault the kernel. In particular, signal_generate can run from
timer interrupt context, turning the fault into a kernel panic.

Record both tracepoints in raw_tp_null_args[] and mark argument one as
a non-pointer. This preserves scalar access to the cookie while rejecting
direct and helper-mediated pointer use. Merely marking it nullable would
not suffice because SEND_SIG_PRIV is nonzero.

Jiayuan Chen says:

====================
bpf: Fix NULL-ptr-derefs when showing a void BTF type

This series fixes three NULL-ptr-derefs in BTF handling.

Patch 1 handles the syzbot report. A key-less BTF (btf_key_type_id == 0) used
to be rejected for hash maps, until htab and rhtab gained a ->map_check_btf
(to register a dtor) that does not look at the key, so a key-less hash map is
now accepted. Dumping it through bpffs feeds the key type_id 0 into
btf_type_seq_show() and NULL-derefs in btf_type_show(). Reject it again.

Patches 2 and 3 fix two related, pre-existing crashes reachable via
bpf_snprintf_btf(), which renders a type_id taken straight from the BPF
program against the vmlinux BTF. A "const void" (a modifier resolving to
void) NULL-derefs in btf_modifier_show() - void has no ->show op; a
BTF_KIND_VAR NULL-derefs in btf_var_show() - the vmlinux base BTF has no
resolved_ids. Patch 2 falls back to btf_df_show(), the "<unsupported kind:N>"
placeholder already used for FWD/FUNC/FLOAT/DECL_TAG; patch 3 resolves the
var's type directly, mirroring the existing guard in btf_modifier_show().

Patches 4 and 5 add selftests. Patch 4 checks a key-less hash and rhash map is
rejected at creation. Patch 5 extends the snprintf_btf test to render a
"const void" and a BTF_KIND_VAR from the vmlinux BTF and checks they resolve
without crashing.

v3 -> v4: Drop the pin-and-read reproducer from the key-less map test, fold
the void/VAR test into the existing snprintf_btf test, and simplify patch 2's
wording (review comments).

v2 -> v3: Fold in a third fix for the same class of bug, btf_var_show(),
reported while reviewing v2. Address review comments (Fixes attribution,
verbatim syzbot trace, skip instead of fail).

v1 -> v2: AI reported a pre-exist issue. Let's fold it in this series.

1ae6aa6195 selftests/bpf: Add test for showing a void BTF type
Extend the snprintf_btf test with type_ids from the vmlinux BTF that
used to NULL-deref in the BTF show path: a "const void", checked to
render the "<unsupported kind:0>" placeholder, and a BTF_KIND_VAR,
checked to resolve and render without error.

The program renders from its own buffer and the test picks a VAR whose
resolved type fits it, so the render stays in bounds.

6265b44f2c selftests/bpf: Add test for key-less BTF hash map
Create a hash and an rhash map with btf_key_type_id == 0 and expect
bpf_map_create() to fail with -EINVAL; a positive control with a real
key type confirms the rejection is about the key-less BTF and not some
unrelated failure.

Such a map used to be accepted and then NULL-deref in btf_type_show()
when dumped through bpffs.

5403a383f5 bpf: Fix NULL-ptr-deref in btf_var_show()
btf_var_show() calls btf_type_id_resolve() unconditionally, which
dereferences btf->resolved_ids. That is NULL for a base BTF - e.g. the
vmlinux BTF that bpf_snprintf_btf() renders against - since base BTF is
not resolved during parsing. btf_modifier_show() guards this with
'if (btf->resolved_ids)', but btf_var_show() does not.

A BPF program that passes the type_id of a BTF_KIND_VAR from the vmlinux
BTF to bpf_snprintf_btf() thus NULL-derefs:

4ea508b9eb bpf: Fix NULL-ptr-deref when showing a void BTF type
btf_modifier_show() resolves the modifier and then calls
btf_type_ops(t)->show() unconditionally. For the void type (type_id 0,
BTF_KIND_UNKN) kind_ops[] has no entry, so ->show is NULL.

A "const void" (a modifier resolving to void) cannot be a map key or
value - map_check_btf() rejects it because void has no size - so the map
dump path does not reach it. But bpf_snprintf_btf() takes a type_id
straight from the BPF program, and passing such a "const void" from the
vmlinux BTF NULL-derefs:

Fall back to btf_df_show() when the resolved type has no show op; it
emits the "<unsupported kind:N>" placeholder already used for kinds like
FWD and FUNC. bpf_snprintf_btf() then returns the length as usual.

0895a0c073 bpf: Reject key-less BTF for hash maps
map_check_btf() allows a key-less BTF (btf_key_type_id == 0) only for
maps that have a ->map_check_btf callback, and leaves the actual
decision to that callback. Hash maps used to have no ->map_check_btf,
so a key-less BTF was rejected outright.

That changed when htab and rhtab gained a ->map_check_btf to register a
dtor - htab in commit 1df97a7453 ("bpf: Register dtor for freeing
special fields") and rhtab in commit 6905f86012 ("bpf: Allow special
fields in resizable hashtab"). Neither looks at the key, so a key-less
hash map now passes map_check_btf() and gets created. Reading it back
through bpffs feeds the key type_id 0 into btf_type_seq_show();
btf_type_by_id() returns the void type, kind_ops[BTF_KIND_UNKN] is NULL,
and btf_type_show() dereferences it:

Add a test case for a BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC load instruction that references
the entry function of the program it belongs to. W/o the previous
patch the verifier accepts this program thus allowing a runtime call
at a bogus address. See previous patch for detailed description.

Main function needs to be marked with BTF_FUNC_STATIC for the test to
trigger the bug, the patch uses test_verifier harness instead of
test_prog because libbpf has no way to convey this.

374b2c5561 bpf: reject BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC reference to the main program
fixups.c:jit_subprogs() rewrites BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC loads to contain real
function addresses. This function is invoked from bpf_jit_subprogs()
only when env->subprog_cnt > 1. Meaning that for any program like
below:

  int main(void *ctx) {
    void *ptr = main;
    ...
    bpf_timer_set_callback(..., ptr);
    ...
  }

The 'ptr' won't be ever converted to contain an address.
In combination with e.g. bpf_timer_set_callback() this would lead to a
function call at a bogus address.

Instead of complicating the implementation, just assume that no useful
program needs main to be a sync or async callback and reject
BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC loads for the main subprogram.

7ac9662189 selftests/bpf: test case for unsafe pruning of bpf_loop checkpoints
The following BPF program was erroneously accepted by the verifier:

  static int cb(int i, __u64 *ctx)
  {
	/* unsafe on a second iteration */
	small_arr[*ctx] = i;
	*ctx = 100500;
	return 0;
  }
  int main(void *ctx)
  {
        int nr_loops = 1;
        u64 ctx = 0;
  	if (unlikely(bpf_get_prandom_u32() == 42))
        	nr_loops = 2;
        bpf_loop(nr_loops, cb, &ctx, 0);
        return 0;
  }

The branch with nr_loops == 1 was explored first and injected a
checkpoint at the entry to 'cb', such that nr_loops in the main's
frame was not marked as precise. This checkpoint pruned the state with
nr_loops == 2 and the program was accepted.

This test case corresponds to the program above.
Entry point is written in assembly to ensure branch processing order.

e3e4f66cc4 bpf: backtracking shouldn't clear outer frame R1-R5 for callbacks
When processing calls to bpf_loop() verifier marks R1 (and R4) as
precise. R1 tracks loop iterations number and because of the
'callback_depth < R1' mechanics in check_helper_call() must be marked
precise. However, precision propagation for R1 was broken,
when bpf_loop() call was verified on a second iteration.

Consider the following verification trace:
- main: bpf_loop(nr_loops, callback ...)
- callback: BPF_EXIT
- main: bpf_loop(nr_loops, callback ...)
- ...

While the first visit of the call to bpf_loop() propagated R1
precision as expected, the second call to mark_chain_precision() in
the check_helper_call() set R1, but it was immediately reset when
backtrack_insn() processed preceding BPF_EXIT in the loop deleted in
this patch.

Because of that, the second visit of the call to bpf_loop() injected
checkpoint with R1 not marked as precise. Which could trick the
verifier into accepting unsafe programs. See the next patch for an
example of such program.

Commit is structured in a way to minimize conflicts when
'bpf' would be eventually merged with 'bpf-next'.

387b1baefb bpf: backtrack_insn(): Handle ld_{abs,ind} subprog exit edge
Nicholas Carlini reported a bug in precision backtracking mechanism
for BPF_LD | BPF_{IND,ABS} instructions. These instructions are
modelled as two branches:
- fallthrough;
- implicit exit from current subprogram.

The implicit exit case was not handled by the backtrack_insn()
function. When backtracking such a path backtrack_insn() did not
call bt_subprog_enter(), which meant that backtracking continued
manipulating precision marks in a caller frame, while looking at
instructions in a callee frame.

This lead to segmentation faults during verification (see the
selftest), or unsound state pruning.

28d75dd3eb selftests/bpf: Bound the offset accumulator in __tld_fetch_key()
The LLVM commit c7f4a76da024 [1]
  "[InstCombine] fold ((x - 1) | (2^k - 1)) + 1 to (x + (2^k - 1)) & -(2^k)"
caused test_task_local_data.bpf.o to fail verification:

  The sequence of 8193 jumps is too complex.
  processed 188770 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 34
  total_states 8238 peak_states 12330 mark_read 0

TLD_ROUND_UP(x, 8) expands to ((((x) - 1) | 7) + 1), exactly the pattern
that [1] rewrites, so the accumulation in __tld_fetch_key()

	off += TLD_ROUND_UP(metadata[i].size, 8);

is now compiled as (x + 7) & -8 instead of ((x - 1) | 7) + 1. Both are
correct, but they leave the verifier in very different states. Note that
'off' is marked as precise.

Without [1], "size - 1" wraps at zero (size is a __u16), so
the verifier loses all bounds on the increment:

  211: (69) r1 = *(u16 *)(r1 +62)  ; R1=scalar(...,umax32=0xffff,var_off=(0x0; 0xffff))
  212: (04) w1 += -1               ; R1=scalar(smin=0,smax=umax=0xffffffff,smin32=-1,smax32=0xfffe,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff))
  213: (44) w1 |= 7                ; R1=scalar(smin=umin=umin32=7,smax=umax=0xffffffff,var_off=(0x7; 0xfffffff8))
  214: (0c) w6 += w1               ; R6=scalar(smin=umin=umin32=7,smax=umax=0xffffffff,var_off=(0x7; 0xfffffff8))
  215: (04) w6 += 1                ; R6=scalar(smin=0,smax=umax=umax32=0xfffffff8,var_off=(0x0; 0xfffffff8))

Note that 'w6' will be used in the next iteration. In the next iteration
after insn 215, the R6 range will be the same as previous iteration.
The iterator loop converges at depth 2.

With [1] the increment stays precisely bounded at [0, 0x10006]:

  211: (69) r9 = *(u16 *)(r1 +62)  ; R9=scalar(...,umax32=0xffff,var_off=(0x0; 0xffff))
  212: (04) w9 += 7                ; R9=scalar(...,umax32=0x10006,var_off=(0x0; 0x1ffff))
  213: (54) w9 &= 131064           ; R9=scalar(...,umax32=0x10006,var_off=(0x0; 0x1fff8))
  214: (0c) w9 += w6               ; R9=scalar(...,umax32=0x10006,var_off=(0x0; 0x1fff8))
  215: (bf) r1 = r10
  216: (07) r1 += -8
  217: (85) call bpf_iter_num_next
  218: (bc) w6 = w9

In the next iteration, we will have
  211: (69) r9 = *(u16 *)(r1 +62)       ; R9=scalar(...,umax32=0xffff,var_off=(0x0; 0xffff))
  212: (04) w9 += 7                     ; R9=scalar(...,umax32=0x10006,var_off=(0x0; 0x1ffff))
  213: (54) w9 &= 131064                ; R9=scalar(...,umax32=0x10006,var_off=(0x0; 0x1fff8))
  214: (0c) w9 += w6                    ; R9=scalar(...,umax32=0x2000c,var_off=(0x0; 0x3fff8))
  ...

so 'off' umax grows by 0x10006 on every iteration and the loop-head
state never repeats:

  218: (bc) w6 = w9  ; R6=scalar(...,umax32=0x10006,var_off=(0x0; 0x1fff8))
  218: (bc) w6 = w9  ; R6=scalar(...,umax32=0x2000c,var_off=(0x0; 0x3fff8))
  218: (bc) w6 = w9  ; R6=scalar(...,umax32=0x30012,var_off=(0x0; 0x3fff8))
  ...
  218: (bc) w6 = w9  ; R6=scalar(...,umax32=0xff95fd6,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffff8))

That last one is iterator depth 4090. Saturating umax would take ~65531
iterations; the verifier gives up long before that.

Note the loop does not diverge from the start. widen_imprecise_scalars()
blows 'off' up to an unbounded scalar while it is still imprecise, and that
alone converges the first three passes through the loop at depth 4.
Once mark_chain_precision() reaches the loop body, maybe_widen_reg() starts
skipping the register, and no widening ever happens again. In the failing
log widening fires exactly 6 times out of 4098 arrivals at the iter_next()
checkpoint, all of them before the umax starts accumulating.

With [1] and this fix, here is one full trip through the loop body,
entered with 'off' (R6) already clamped by the previous iteration:

  208: frame1: R6=scalar(...,umax32=4088,var_off=(0x0; 0xff8))
  208: (67) r7 <<= 6                ; R7=scalar(...,umax32=3968,var_off=(0x0; 0xfc0))
  209: (bf) r1 = r9                 ; R1=mem(id=54,sz=4036,imm=4)
  210: (0f) r1 += r7
  211: (69) r1 = *(u16 *)(r1 +62)   ; R1=scalar(...,umax32=0xffff,var_off=(0x0; 0xffff))
  212: (04) w1 += 7                 ; R1=scalar(...,umax32=0x10006,var_off=(0x0; 0x1ffff))
  213: (54) w1 &= 131064            ; R1=scalar(...,umax32=0x10006,var_off=(0x0; 0x1fff8))
  214: (0c) w1 += w6                ; R1=scalar(...,umax32=0x10ffe,var_off=(0x0; 0x1fff8))
                                      R6=scalar(...,umax32=4088,var_off=(0x0; 0xff8))
  215: (bc) w6 = w1                 ; R6=scalar(...,umax32=0x10ffe,var_off=(0x0; 0x1fff8))
  216: (26) if w1 > 0xff8 goto pc+1 ; R6=scalar(...,umax32=4088,var_off=(0x0; 0xff8))
  217: (05) goto pc-27

This makes the loop body a fixpoint. 'off' (w6) enters at 208 as [0, 4088] with
var_off=(0x0; 0xff8); the increment computed at 212/213 is [0, 0x10006], so
214/215 leave it at [0, 0x10ffe]; then 216 truncates it straight back to
[0, 4088]/(0x0; 0xff8), and only then is the back edge at 217 taken.
Convergence no longer depends on the widening window above. Verification converges
at iterator depth 3.

2f3536bff8 bpf: don't downgrade half-dead scalar zero spills to STACK_ZERO
states.c:__clean_func_state() can downgrade scalar zero spill to
STACK_ZERO in the following case:

  *(u64 *)(r10 - 8) = 0;
  ... checkpoint ...
  r1 = *(u32 *)(r10 - 4);
  ... no reads from r10-8 ...

Here 4 bytes at r10-8 are dead and verifier changes scalar spill to a
combination: 0000pppp (p stands for poison). Such a change breaks
precision propagation chains. All places that produce STACK_ZERO
should call bpf_mark_chain_precision() for the zero source.

This patch fixes the bug in a simplest way possible:
avoids converting stack spills of zero to STACK_ZERO.
Two smarter approaches are possible:
- do bpf_mark_chain_precision() from __clean_func_state()
- check slot liveness information in check_stack_write_fixed_off()

I investigated both and the changes required are a bit tricky,
hence go with a simple fix for the time being.

d3ef6c097b bpf: check_cond_jmp_op(): properly infer if register is null
Nicholas Carlini reported a bug when verifier can incorrectly infer
that a pointer is non-null. The bug occurs when two pointers are
compared and one of them has a type w/o PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag,
but which allows a value to be NULL at runtime.
Here is an example:

  // `a` is PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RDONLY | PTR_UNTRUSTED
  // `a` is 0 at runtime.
  // `b` is PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE | PTR_MAYBE_NULL
  void *a = bpf_rdonly_cast(0, 0);
  int  *b = bpf_map_lookup_elem(...);

  if (a == b)
    *b = 42;  // verifier does not catch null pointer dereference

This happens because of a special case in check_cond_jmp_op(),
which attempts to strip PTR_MAYBE_NULL flags from pointer types,
when processing comparisons like `rA == rB`, if either rA or rB can't
be null.

The non-null property is derived based on the absence of
PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag on rA's or rB's type. But that is not sufficient
for types like PTR_TO_MEM, as in the example.

This patch replaces type_may_be_null() call with reg_not_null(),
which contains an allowlist of types for which absence of
PTR_MAYBE_NULL actually means that the value can't be NULL at runtime.

At the moment, the list in the reg_not_null() omits two types for
which PTR_MAYBE_NULL is applicable: PTR_TO_XDP_SOCK and PTR_TO_BUF.
In order to remain backward compatible, and assuming that only
comparison between pointers of the same type makes sense,
this commit extends reg_not_null(). W/o such an extension e.g.
verifier_jeq_infer_not_null/null_ptr_to_map_value fails.

reg_not_null() can be extended further, but I deem that out of scope
for the fix at hand. Explicit base_type(...) != PTR_TO_BTF_ID
checks in the check_cond_jmp_op() can be removed with migration to
reg_not_null(), but that is a behavioural change, as the special case
would start matching for PTR_TO_BTF_ID that is also is_trusted_reg().
I omit the behavioural change from this commit.

75b0a6db43 bpf: Fix percpu map update indexing with sparse CPU IDs
Per-CPU array, hash, and cgroup storage map updates without BPF_F_CPU
or BPF_F_ALL_CPUS use a value buffer whose per-CPU slots are packed in
possible-CPU order. The buffer is sized as:

  round_up(value_size, 8) * num_possible_cpus()

The update paths iterate over possible CPUs, but use the logical CPU ID
to calculate the source offset:

  value + size * cpu

This only works when possible CPU IDs are contiguous starting at zero.

For example, with a possible CPU mask of 0,2-3, the buffer contains
three slots corresponding to CPUs 0, 2, and 3. CPU2 is therefore
expected to use slot 1 and CPU3 slot 2. Instead, the current code uses
slots 2 and 3 respectively, causing incorrect per-CPU values and an
out-of-bounds read from the update buffer for CPU3.

The corresponding lookup paths already use a dense offset while
iterating over possible CPUs. Do the same for the array, hash, and
cgroup storage update paths, advancing the source offset once for each
possible CPU. BPF_F_ALL_CPUS continues to use the same value for every
CPU.

ed54bf564a bpf: Fix BPF_F_CPU validation for sparse CPU IDs
BPF_F_CPU stores the target CPU ID in the upper 32 bits of the map
operation flags. bpf_map_check_op_flags() currently compares that ID
with num_possible_cpus(), which is the number of possible CPUs rather
than a bound on CPU IDs.

On an arm64 QEMU guest with a CPU device-tree hole, the possible CPU
mask was 0,2-3. A userspace program using raw bpf() syscalls creates
a BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY and performs update and lookup operations
for each CPU by setting BPF_F_CPU and the CPU ID in the flags.

With the old check, CPU 1 is incorrectly accepted while valid CPU 3 is
rejected with -ERANGE. The CPU 1 update then reaches the per-CPU map
access path and triggers:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ...
  pc : __pi_memcpy_generic+0x5c/0x22c
  lr : bpf_percpu_array_update+0x2dc/0x2e8
  Call trace:
    __pi_memcpy_generic
    bpf_map_update_value
    map_update_elem
    __sys_bpf

Check the CPU ID against nr_cpu_ids and cpu_possible() instead. This
rejects CPU IDs outside the valid range and CPUs absent from the
possible mask, while allowing valid sparse CPU IDs.

bpf: Fix infinite loop in pcpu_freelist push with one possible CPU
__pcpu_freelist_push() can loop forever when only one CPU is possible
and an NMI re-enters pcpu_freelist_push() while the interrupted context
holds that CPU's freelist lock.

After the current-CPU fast path fails, the fallback loop walks
cpu_possible_mask while skipping the current CPU. With CONFIG_SMP=n, or
when an SMP kernel is limited to one possible CPU with nr_cpus=1 or
possible_cpus=1, there are no other possible CPUs to examine. The loop
therefore makes no lock acquisition attempt and can never make progress.

The following stack was observed on a UP system:

  NMI context:
    pcpu_freelist_push
    free_htab_elem
    htab_map_delete_elem
    [perf-event BPF program]
    __perf_event_overflow
    perf_event_nmi_handler
    exc_nmi

  Interrupted context:
    __pcpu_freelist_push
    pcpu_freelist_push
    free_htab_elem
    htab_map_delete_elem
    [raw_tp/sys_enter BPF program]
    __bpf_trace_sys_enter
    do_syscall_64

raw_res_spin_lock() detects the same-CPU recursive acquisition and
returns -EDEADLK, but the subsequent fallback loop has no candidate head
on a system with one possible CPU.

Restore the extra fallback head that existed before the rqspinlock
conversion. Keep the current-CPU fast path, then try the other possible
CPUs and finally the extra head. The additional head lets a push, which
cannot fail without losing a preallocated element, make progress when the
only per-CPU head is held by the interrupted context.

Also check the extra head from the pop path so that nodes placed there
can be reused.

selftests/bpf: Add reg-invariants test for speculative pointer arithmetic
An unprivileged socket filter does variable pointer arithmetic on a
PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE whose offset collapses to a constant. The Spectre-v1
speculative path used to snapshot the pointer with a const offset and an
unbounded r32, which tripped reg_bounds_sanity_check() on the following
register move.

Mark the test __success_unpriv (the speculative path only runs
unprivileged) and flag it BPF_F_TEST_REG_INVARIANTS so the invariant
violation becomes a hard load failure. The unprivileged run fails without
the verifier fix and passes with it:

  verifier_bounds/spec_ptr_alu_const_offset @unpriv:FAIL   # without fix
  verifier_bounds/spec_ptr_alu_const_offset @unpriv:OK     # with fix

bpf: Fix REG INVARIANTS VIOLATION on speculative pointer arithmetic
Take the following unprivileged program as an example:

	r0 = bpf_map_lookup_elem(...)	/* PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE, offset 0 */
	...
	14: r0 += r1			/* r1 is a bounded scalar */
	15: r9 = r0

Loading it triggers a verifier warning from reg_bounds_sanity_check():

	verifier bug: REG INVARIANTS VIOLATION (alu): const subreg tnum out
	of sync with range bounds r64={.base=0x0, .size=0x0}
	r32={.base=0x0, .size=0xffffffff} var_off=(0x0, 0x0)

What happens:

1. Processing insn 14 (r0 += r1) in adjust_ptr_min_max_vals(), the new
   offset is computed into dst_reg's var_off and 32/64-bit ranges.

2. Because pointer registers do not track 32-bit subregister bounds,
   __mark_reg32_unbounded() first sets r32 to the full range; r32 is
   re-derived from the offset at the end of the function by
   reg_bounds_sync().

3. On the unprivileged path, sanitize_ptr_alu() is called and, via
   sanitize_speculative_path() -> push_stack(), snapshots the current
   register state and schedules the next instruction (insn 15) to be
   verified directly as a speculative path.

4. That snapshot is taken between step 2 and the final reg_bounds_sync():
   at this point dst_reg's var_off still holds the (const) original
   offset while r32 has just been blanked to the full range, i.e. the two
   are out of sync. When the speculative path later verifies insn 15
   (r9 = r0), the inconsistent state reaches reg_bounds_sanity_check() and
   trips the warning.

var_off and the 32-bit range must always be consistent. There are two
ways to keep the snapshot consistent:

  1. sync var_off and r32 before the snapshot so they match, or
  2. leave r32 at its original (already consistent) value and blank it
     only after the snapshot.

The whole point of sanitize_ptr_alu() is to insert a harmless masking
sequence that keeps the access in bounds under speculation, so the state
it snapshots should faithfully represent that. Take approach 2: move
__mark_reg32_unbounded() to after sanitize_ptr_alu(), so the speculative
snapshot keeps the pointer's original, consistent r32. The non-speculative
path is unchanged: r32 is still blanked before the offset is applied and
re-derived by reg_bounds_sync().

Program Structure diagnostics can disassemble a malformed instruction

c7a2a36182 x86/bpf: Make arch_bpf_trampoline_size allocate from EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA
Jiri Olsa reports slowdown of tracing_multi benchmark that allocates huge
number of trampolines [1].

The slowdown caused by extra protection changes in execmem_alloc_rw() and
execmem_free().

With ROX caches enabled, all execmem allocations except EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA
are ROX after the allocation. execmem_alloc_rw() temporarily sets them to
W+NX and execmem_free() resets them back to ROX.

The only user of bpf_jit_alloc_exec_rw() is x86::arch_bpf_trampoline_size()
that only needs a temporary writable buffer in the modules address space.

On x86 executable memory and module data are constrained to the same
address range, so x86::arch_bpf_trampoline_size() can directly use
execmem_alloc(EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA)

Replace the call to bpf_jit_alloc_exec_rw() with a call to
execmem_alloc(EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA) in x86::arch_bpf_trampoline_size() and
drop bpf_jit_alloc_exec_rw() helper.

Merge tag 'net-next-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "One of the 'small improvements all over the place' releases for us.

  It's hard to draw any direct comparisons because summer vacations
  disrupted our patch processing (and presumably - generation) quite a
  bit.

  Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar
  number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling
  the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also
  *seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications.

  We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that
  we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run
  reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates
  some hallucinations. That said, in terms of review, the LLMs can only
  do so much.

  The sad truth is that our APIs (especially for rare events like PCIe
  errors, timeouts etc) have always been racy, and now LLMs don't let us
  ignore that. I expect our direction for the next release will be to
  tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to
  letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork,
  automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and
  maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from
  people we trust...

  Core & protocols:

   - A few steps lowering rtnl_lock dependence:
      - per-netns netdev unregistration for select SW drivers (e.g.
        veth, ipvlan, tunnels)
      - rtnl_lock-less FIB rule changes (RTM_NEWRULE and RTM_DELRULE)
      - prepare software drivers and TC qdiscs for rtnl_lock-less GET

   - Support BIG TCP (>64kB TSO) in UDP tunnels (vxlan, geneve)

   - Support buffers larger than PAGE_SIZE in devmem zero-copy API

   - Improve MPTCP handling of extreme memory pressure handling, when
     out-of-order queue had to be pruned

   - Report the per-group user count via RTM_GETMULTICAST

   - Expose the route deletion reason in RTM_DELROUTE

   - Add a SO_RIGHTS_NOTRUNC option to UNIX sockets to enable more
     useful handling of LSM denials when receiving SCM_RIGHTS messages:
     instead of truncating the message at the first blocked fd, keep
     every fd slot and store the LSM errno in the blocked slot

   - IPv6 Segment Routing - support looking up the post-encap SID
     (address) in a different/specified routing table

   - Support PRP RedBox (interlink) creation

   - Support per-nexthop UDP dst port in VXLAN

     to iov_iter
