Eduard Zingerman 5159482fdb selftests/bpf: tests with a loop state missing read/precision mark
The test case absent_mark_in_the_middle_state is equivalent of the
following C program:

   1: r8 = bpf_get_prandom_u32();
   2: r6 = -32;
   3: bpf_iter_num_new(&fp[-8], 0, 10);
   4: if (unlikely(bpf_get_prandom_u32()))
   5:   r6 = -31;
   6: for (;;) {
   7:   if (!bpf_iter_num_next(&fp[-8]))
   8:     break;
   9:   if (unlikely(bpf_get_prandom_u32()))
  10:     *(u64 *)(fp + r6) = 7;
  11: }
  12: bpf_iter_num_destroy(&fp[-8]);
  13: return 0;

W/o a fix that instructs verifier to ignore branches count for loop
entries verification proceeds as follows:
- 1-4, state is {r6=-32,fp-8=active};
- 6, checkpoint A is created with {r6=-32,fp-8=active};
- 7, checkpoint B is created with {r6=-32,fp-8=active},
     push state {r6=-32,fp-8=active} from 7 to 9;
- 8,12,13, {r6=-32,fp-8=drained}, exit;
- pop state with {r6=-32,fp-8=active} from 7 to 9;
- 9, push state {r6=-32,fp-8=active} from 9 to 10;
- 6, checkpoint C is created with {r6=-32,fp-8=active};
- 7, checkpoint A is hit, no precision propagated for r6 to C;
- pop state {r6=-32,fp-8=active} from 9 to 10;
- 10, state is {r6=-31,fp-8=active}, r6 is marked as read and precise,
      these marks are propagated to checkpoints A and B (but not C, as
      it is not the parent of current state;
- 6, {r6=-31,fp-8=active} checkpoint C is hit, because r6 is not
     marked precise for this checkpoint;
- the program is accepted, despite a possibility of unaligned u64
  stack access at offset -31.

The test case absent_mark_in_the_middle_state2 is similar except the
following change:

       r8 = bpf_get_prandom_u32();
       r6 = -32;
       bpf_iter_num_new(&fp[-8], 0, 10);
       if (unlikely(bpf_get_prandom_u32())) {
         r6 = -31;
 + jump_into_loop:
 +       goto +0;
 +       goto loop;
 +     }
 +     if (unlikely(bpf_get_prandom_u32()))
 +       goto jump_into_loop;
 + loop:
       for (;;) {
         if (!bpf_iter_num_next(&fp[-8]))
           break;
         if (unlikely(bpf_get_prandom_u32()))
           *(u64 *)(fp + r6) = 7;
       }
       bpf_iter_num_destroy(&fp[-8])
       return 0

The goal is to check that read/precision marks are propagated to
checkpoint created at 'goto +0' that resides outside of the loop.

The test case absent_mark_in_the_middle_state3 is a bit different and
is equivalent to the C program below:

    int absent_mark_in_the_middle_state3(void)
    {
      bpf_iter_num_new(&fp[-8], 0, 10)
      loop1(-32, &fp[-8])
      loop1_wrapper(&fp[-8])
      bpf_iter_num_destroy(&fp[-8])
    }

    int loop1(num, iter)
    {
      while (bpf_iter_num_next(iter)) {
        if (unlikely(bpf_get_prandom_u32()))
          *(fp + num) = 7;
      }
      return 0
    }

    int loop1_wrapper(iter)
    {
      r6 = -32;
      if (unlikely(bpf_get_prandom_u32()))
        r6 = -31;
      loop1(r6, iter);
      return 0;
    }

The unsafe state is reached in a similar manner, but the loop is
located inside a subprogram that is called from two locations in the
main subprogram. This detail is important for exercising
bpf_scc_visit->backedges memory management.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
