====================
bpf: track find_equal_scalars history on per-instruction level
This is a fix for precision tracking bug reported in [0].
It supersedes my previous attempt to fix similar issue in commit [1].
Here is a minimized test case from [0]:
0: call bpf_get_prandom_u32;
1: r7 = r0;
2: r8 = r0;
3: call bpf_get_prandom_u32;
4: if r0 > 1 goto +0;
/* --- checkpoint #1: r7.id=1, r8.id=1 --- */
5: if r8 >= r0 goto 9f;
6: r8 += r8;
/* --- checkpoint #2: r7.id=1, r8.id=0 --- */
7: if r7 == 0 goto 9f;
8: r0 /= 0;
/* --- checkpoint #3 --- */
9: r0 = 42;
10: exit;
W/o this fix verifier incorrectly assumes that instruction at label
(8) is unreachable. The issue is caused by failure to infer
precision mark for r0 at checkpoint #1:
- first verification path is:
- (0-4): r0 range [0,1];
- (5): r8 range [0,0], propagated to r7;
- (6): r8.id is reset;
- (7): jump is predicted to happen;
- (9-10): safe exit.
- when jump at (7) is predicted mark_chain_precision() for r7 is
called and backtrack_insn() proceeds as follows:
- at (7) r7 is marked as precise;
- at (5) r8 is not currently tracked and thus r0 is not marked;
- at (4-5) boundary logic from [1] is triggered and r7,r8 are marked
as precise;
- => r0 precision mark is missed.
- when second branch of (4) is considered, verifier prunes the state
because r0 is not marked as precise in the visited state.
Basically, backtracking logic fails to notice that at (5)
range information is gained for both r7 and r8, and thus both
r8 and r0 have to be marked as precise.
This happens because [1] can only account for such range
transfers at parent/child state boundaries.
The solution suggested by Andrii Nakryiko in [0] is to use jump
history to remember which registers gained range as a result of
find_equal_scalars() [renamed to sync_linked_regs()] and use
this information in backtrack_insn().
Which is what this patch-set does.
The patch-set uses u64 value as a vector of 10-bit values that
identify registers gaining range in find_equal_scalars().
This amounts to maximum of 6 possible values.
To check if such capacity is sufficient I've instrumented kernel
to track a histogram for maximal amount of registers that gain range
in find_equal_scalars per program verification [2].
Measurements done for verifier selftests and Cilium bpf object files
from [3] show that number of such registers is *always* <= 4 and
in 98% of cases it is <= 2.
When tested on a subset of selftests identified by
selftests/bpf/veristat.cfg and Cilium bpf object files from [3]
this patch-set has minimal verification performance impact:
File Program Insns (DIFF) States (DIFF)
------------------------ ------------------------ -------------- -------------
bpf_host.o tail_handle_nat_fwd_ipv4 -75 (-0.61%) -3 (-0.39%)
pyperf600_nounroll.bpf.o on_event +1673 (+0.33%) +3 (+0.01%)

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.
