[PATCH bpf-next v2 2/4] bpf: Fix narrow scalar spill onto 64-bit spilled scalar slots

[Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi <memxor@gmail.com>]

From: Tao Lyu <tao.lyu@epfl.ch>

When CAP_PERFMON and CAP_SYS_ADMIN (allow_ptr_leaks) are disabled, the
verifier aims to reject partial overwrite on an 8-byte stack slot that
contains a spilled pointer.

However, in such a scenario, it rejects all partial stack overwrites as
long as the targeted stack slot is a spilled register, because it does
not check if the stack slot is a spilled pointer.

Incomplete checks will result in the rejection of valid programs, which
spill narrower scalar values onto scalar slots, as shown below.

0: R1=ctx() R10=fp0
; asm volatile ( @ repro.bpf.c:679
0: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -8) = 1          ; R10=fp0 fp-8_w=1
1: (62) *(u32 *)(r10 -8) = 1
attempt to corrupt spilled pointer on stack
processed 2 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 0 total_states 0 peak_states 0 mark_read 0.

Fix this by expanding the check to not consider spilled scalar registers
when rejecting the write into the stack.
