Subject: [PATCH] bpf: fix verifier support for validation of async callbacks
Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2022 16:01:50 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220105210150.GH1559@oracle.com> (raw)

Commit bfc6bb74e4 ("bpf: Implement verifier support for validation of
async callbacks.") added support for BPF_FUNC_timer_set_callback to
the __check_func_call() function.  The test in __check_func_call() is
flaweed because it can mis-interpret a regular BPF-to-BPF pseudo-call
as a BPF_FUNC_timer_set_callback callback call.

Consider the conditional in the code:

	if (insn->code == (BPF_JMP | BPF_CALL) &&
	    insn->imm == BPF_FUNC_timer_set_callback) {

The BPF_FUNC_timer_set_callback has value 170.  This means that if you
have a BPF program that contains a pseudo-call with an instruction delta
of 170, this conditional will be found to be true by the verifier, and
it will interpret the pseudo-call as a callback.  This leads to a mess
with the verification of the program because it makes the wrong
assumptions about the nature of this call.

Solution: include an explicit check to ensure that insn->src_reg == 0.
This ensures that calls cannot be mis-interpreted as an async callback
call.
