This series implements the scalar evolution (SCEV) technique for
verification of loops.
Scalar evolution is a static analysis technique that infers algebraic
expressions describing how variables change within a loop body.
These expressions can then be used to estimate the number of loop body
executions. This estimate can be used to represent induction variables
as ranges instead of enumerating each possible value.
For example, the following loop:
for (r0 = 0; r0 < 10; r0++) {
...
}
would now be verified with the assumption that r0 is a scalar value
in the range [0..9] within its body.
See the following patches for a more technical overview:
- "bpf: compute scalar evolution expressions for loops"
- "bpf: use SCEV to widen bounded loops"
The series can be viewed as consisting of the following parts:
- Preparatory patches fixing and extending liveness analysis and
adding utility functions. The liveness changes collect stack access
effects and register dependencies, including:
- "bpf: fix arg_track_xfer() for atomic stack spills and fills"
- "bpf: derive global subprog stack liveness from BTF signatures"
- "bpf: compute parameters liveness in bpf_compute_live_registers()"
- Patches relaxing the verifier's current restrictions on accessing
memory via varying offset pointers, specifically:
- "bpf: allow subrange relations for PTR_TO_STACK in regsafe()"
- "bpf: representation for intervals with steps"
- "bpf: varying offset access support for PTR_TO_BTF_ID pointers"
- Patches to compute the immediate dominator tree and loop hierarchy.
- Patches implementing scalar evolution and integrating it with
the main verification pass:
- "bpf: allow precision backtracking between overlapping checkpoints"
- "bpf: compute scalar evolution expressions for loops"
- "bpf: use SCEV to widen bounded loops"
- "bpf: avoid widening registers that hinder exact stack-slot tracking"
- Tests and test harness updates.

Supported patterns
==================
As scalar evolution analysis attempts to infer recurring relationships
from algebraic expressions describing loop variables, there are some
limitations on what can be expressed.
Below is a list of patterns that are expected to work with the current
implementation. The examples are pseudo-code for the indicated BPF
instruction shapes.
Loop widening currently requires allow_uninit_stack, the verifier mode
that permits reading uninitialized stack bytes. This requirement applies
even to loops that use only registers. Without it, the verifier uses
its existing iteration-by-iteration checking.
1. Counted loops, including decreasing counters:
u64 i = 0;
do { i += 1; } while (i < 10);
u64 j = 3;
do { j += -1; } while (j != 0);
Header ranges are i in [0,9] and j in [1,3].
Pre-condition loops, such as while (i < 10) { i += 1; },
are also supported. The counter can reside in a register or a fixed
8-byte frame-pointer spill.
2. Strided accesses into a map value:
/* bytes is a map-value array with at least 16 bytes. */
u64 i = 0, off = 0;
do {
bytes[off] = 1;
i += 1;
off += 2;
} while (i < 8);
At the header, off is in [0,14] with step 2. The byte store stays
within the map value even though i and off are tracked separately.
3. A nonconstant entry value with a separate counted induction variable:
u64 x = bpf_get_prandom_u32() & 6; // {0,2,4,6}
u64 i = 0;
do { x += 6; i += 1; } while (i < 3);
The counter i supplies the bound. At the header, x widens to [0,18]
with step 2, retaining the alignment common to its entry values and
its slope; x itself need not start at a constant.
4. Conditional assignment from an invariant value:
u64 x = 5;
for (u64 i = 0; i < 3; i += 1)
if (i == 1) x = 10;
return x;
Widening joins the pre-loop value 5 with the assigned value 10,
giving x in [5,10] both inside and after the loop.
5. Early exits in addition to the counted backedge:
u64 i = 0;
do {
if (bpf_get_prandom_u32() == 0) break;
i += 1;
} while (i != 3);
The counter still bounds the loop. An additional exit reduces the
available lower-bound information; it does not by itself prevent
widening.
6. Array accesses through different memory types:
Bounded varying offsets are supported for arrays in BTF-typed
objects, stack memory, map values and keys, packet data and
metadata, and memory buffers. The usual bounds, alignment and
access restrictions still apply.
For stack arrays indexed by a widened loop counter, only byte and
half-word accesses are supported; see limitation 5 below.
For an array in a BTF-typed object:
struct inner { int a, b; };
struct object { struct inner arr[8]; };
/* o points to a live, non-NULL BTF-typed struct object. */
u64 i = bpf_get_prandom_u32() & 7;
value = o->arr[i].b;
The 4-byte load has offsets 4 + 8*i, i in [0,7]. Bounds keep
accesses within arr; base and step 8 ensure that each possible
offset selects member b. Such accesses also work without a loop.
7. Nested loops with separate counters:
u64 i = 0;
do {
u64 j = 0;
do {
/* body */
j += 1;
} while (j < 3);
i += 1;
} while (i < 4);
Both loops can be widened: i is in [0,3] at the outer header,
and j is in [0,2] at the inner header. The inner counter is reset
on each outer iteration; i is unchanged by the inner loop.
8. Incrementing and comparing a pointer directly:
/* bytes is a map-value array with at least 8 bytes. */
u8 *p = bytes, *end = bytes + 8;
do {
*p = 1;
p++;
} while (p != end);
The initial pointer and fixed end pointer give eight iterations,
without a separate integer counter. At the loop header, p ranges
from bytes to bytes + 7, so each byte store stays within the array.
Deriving the iteration count requires the compared pointers to have
a provable common memory origin.
9. A loop bounded by an exit other than the latch:
u64 i = 0, len = 14;
do {
if (i == len)
break;
use(i);
i += 1;
} while (i != 64);
Every exit condition dominating the latch bounds the iteration
count; the smallest bound wins. Here i is in [0,14] at the header,
not [0,63], so use(i) sees the range established by the break.
Limitations
===========
Patterns that lose precision after widening
-------------------------------------------
Widening can lose information that the verifier gets by checking
each iteration separately. For example:
r7 = 5;
for (r6 = 0; r6 < 3; r6++)
if (r6 == 1)
r7 = 10;
if (r7 != 10)
invalid_stack_read();
R7 is always 10 at the real exit, but is represented as [5, 10] at
loop entry and after the loop. The verifier therefore cannot exclude
the invalid read and rejects this otherwise safe program.
It would be hard to avoid this limitation.
The same issue affects correlated linear counters at loop exit:
u64 i = 0, off = 0;
while (i < 8) {
i++;
off += 2;
}
if (off != 16)
invalid_stack_read();
Enumeration establishes off == 16. Widening tracks i and off
independently, and the exit check on i does not reconstruct off's exact
final value. This can be lifted after analysis adjustments.
Patterns not widened yet
------------------------
If one of the variables modified in the loop cannot be widened, the
verifier checks each iteration instead. Examples include:
1. 32-bit recurrences and comparisons:
for (u32 i = 0; i < 8; i++) // ALU32 / JMP32
use(i);
Only 64-bit arithmetic and comparisons are supported.
This limitation will be lifted.
2. Non-linear updates:
for (u64 i = 1; i < 16; i *= 2) // non-linear recurrence
use(i);
Recognition is currently limited to simple additive recurrences.
Literature describes a way to represent this, but it is not
considered a priority at the moment.
3. A controlling counter or bound that is not constant at loop entry:
u64 limit = unknown_in_range(1, 8);
for (u64 i = 0; i < limit; i++)
use(i);
u64 i = unknown_in_range(0, 7);
while (i < 8)
i++;
Both loops have finite bounds, but iteration-count evaluation
currently requires concrete entry values. Other induction variables
may have nonconstant entry ranges once a separate counter establishes
the iteration bound. This limitation can be lifted eventually.
4. Alternative values referring to another evolving register:
r7 = 0;
for (r6 = 0; r6 < 4; r6++)
if (condition)
r7 = r6;
use(r7);
R6 changes on each iteration. Widening currently supports
conditional assignments only from constants or values that do not
change in the loop. This limitation can be lifted.
5. Stack addresses whose widening would lose precise slot tracking:
u64 slots[4];
for (u64 i = 0; i < 4; i++)
slots[i] = i;
struct bpf_dynptr dptrs[4];
for (u64 i = 0; i < 4; i++)
bpf_dynptr_from_xdp(ctx, 0, &dptrs[i]);
Keep such indices concrete for 4- and 8-byte stack loads/stores and
calls requiring fixed-offset stack objects. Dependencies inside
nested loops also constrain the outer loop.
It would be hard to lift this limitation.
6. Values modified by a nested loop do not get a closed-form summary
for the enclosing loop:
u64 sum = 0;
for (u64 i = 0; i < 4; i++)
for (u64 j = 0; j < 4; j++)
sum++;
use(sum);
The inner loop may widen, but the outer analysis forgets values
modified by it rather than deriving the combined recurrence.
This limitation can be lifted.
7. Multiple backedges and irreducible control flow:
i = 0;
H: if (i >= 8) goto done;
if (condition) { i++; goto H; } // first backedge
i++; goto H; // second backedge
done:
i = 0;
if (condition) goto body; // second entry into the loop
H: i++;
body:
if (i < 8) goto H;
Widening requires a reducible loop with one backedge and a supported
dominating exit condition. Multiple exits are supported, but their
early-exit paths reduce what can be inferred about iteration counts.
It is unclear whether this can be lifted at the moment.
8. Large slopes and unsupported iteration bounds:
for (u64 i = 0, x = 0; i < 4; i++) {
use(x);
x += 65536; // slope outside signed 16 bits
}
Slopes used for linear widening must be nonzero signed-16-bit
constants. The inferred number of header executions must be finite
and less than U32_MAX. Counter wraparound must be ruled out while
deriving the bound.
9. Incompatible pointer alternatives or comparison operands:
p = &map_a[0];
q = &map_b[0];
for (u64 i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
if (i == 5)
p = q;
use(*p);
}
At the loop header, p has SCEV ANY(p_entry, q). The alternatives
point into different maps, so their offsets cannot be joined while
retaining one map's metadata. Joining invariant pointer
alternatives requires compatible pointer metadata, including type,
origin IDs, frame number.
10. Some hard-coded constant limits:
- Programs with more than 16 nested loops in one function are rejected.
- Loops with more than 256 exits exceed the metadata limits and are
not analyzed for widening.
- At most 4 exit conditions dominating the latch are consulted for
the iteration count of a loop.
- Expression traversal is limited to depth 8. Only a small fixed number
of alternative values can be joined.
Veristat changes
================
The main impact of the series is a 23% reduction in number of
processed instructions on a subset of Meta BPF programs.
Verdict changes
---------------
Two programs flip succes->failure, both selftests whose expectations
are updated by the series:
- verifier_gotox/gotox_edges_at_limit: test's CFG is a nest of ~1000
irreducible loops, deeper than the per-function loop stack (16),
the program is rejected with "Too many nested loops".
- verifier_scev/conditional_assignment_on_second_iteration:
a value assigned on the second iteration is checked after the loop
with its widened range, so a stack read guarded by that check
is rejected.
No program from the production corpora changes verdict.
Regressions
-----------
20 programs regress by 30-33% and 6 more by 10-21%, all from an
appliction objects sharing one unwinder library.
All programs share a common reason for regression:
- a big outer loop contains several smaller nested loops;
- nested loops are now widened and coverge, their convergence
adds backedges to the outer loop's SCC, thus flipping
checkpoint comparisons with the outer loop to RANGE_WITHIN mode.
Support for 32-bit recurrences and comparisons widens these loops too
and removes the regression. This would be handled in a followup.

Changelog
=========
v2 -> v3:
TLDR: another bunch of major correctness fixes, plus several improvements
to avoid veristat-meta failure identified for v2.
- Widen only when allow_uninit_stack is set.
- Mark scalar registers and stack spills used by the selected bounding
condition's base, step and bound expressions precise before widening.
- Join alternative values only for registers with compatible pointer
metadata. Include the loop-entry value when a register is assigned an
invariant in the body, including unconditional assignments.
- Consider up to four exit conditions dominating the backedge and use
the tightest available iteration bound. Match the induction variable
in either operand of the comparison.
- Require full spills for linear stack recurrences. Treat partially
spilled and unallocated stack slots as unknown scalars and all-zero
slots as zero. Materialize writable stack values safely, growing the
stack when needed.
- Keep base/step in sync with the bounds as the last step of
reg_bounds_sync(). Preserve the register state when sign extension
leaves all possible values unchanged. Check that step is nonzero and
base is smaller than step.
- Handle latch comparison polarity correctly when the continuing branch
enters a nested loop. Compute SCEVs only for exits owned by the loop,
fixing a verifier bug for irreducible inner loops.
- Exclude BPF_F_INNER_MAP single-element arrays from the separate-lookup
shortcut in bpf_same_memory_origin().
- Fix stack-pointer tracking through load-acquire/store-release and
atomic exchange/fetch/cmpxchg operations, so accesses through recovered
stack pointers are included in liveness analysis.
- Derive global subprogram stack effects from BTF argument types, so
freplace cannot invalidate a loop termination proof based on the
original callee body.
- Compute argument liveness from callee reads for static subprograms
and from BTF-declared arguments for globals. Prepare argument metadata
before liveness analysis, avoiding unnecessarily live registers that
prevented widening.
- Treat already-unbounded scalars as already widened, allowing unknown
SCEVs such as stack outputs of probe-read helpers called through a
subprogram.
- Widen to an unbounded range when computing an induction variable's
range overflows signed 64-bit arithmetic, retaining the power-of-two
alignment common to the entry value and slope.
- Fix dominator computation for subprograms whose entry is a loop header:
initialize the entry as its own dominator during the fixed-point
computation and skip updates to it. Use overflow-checked predecessor
allocations.
- Replace the private worklist heap with the kernel min-heap and limit
expression rewriting to 32 passes before falling back to unknown.
- Add regression coverage for the liveness, stack, pointer, iteration
bound and widening changes. Fix __msg_next validation when an expected
message is missing.
v1 -> v2:
TLDR: a bunch of major correctness fixes.
- Introduce arg_access_info to distinguish read, may-write and
must-write effects of helper/kfunc stack accesses. Handle map-specific
argument semantics and writes through unknown callbacks.
- Fix base/step tracking across signed overflow, truncation,
sign/zero extension and linked-register updates.
- Rework iteration-count calculation for signed/unsigned increasing
and decreasing counters, including counter overflow checks.
Evaluate the full latch base expression and consistently count
header executions.
- Substitute all registers in instantiate_header_scevs().
- Track pointer origins when evaluating latch expressions.
Require compatible operands before deriving iteration bounds.
- Preserve the correct congruence base when widening nonconstant
entry values, assign fresh IDs to widened packet pointers,
and exclude nullable pointers from widening.
- Account for values modified on nested-loop exit paths when computing
invariants. Do not use an inner loop's latch to bound an outer loop.
- Restrict pruning against in-progress SCEV states to terminating
innermost loops sharing the same entry checkpoint, preventing
inner-loop pruning from hiding a nonterminating outer loop.
- Rework loop entry/exit handling on the main verification pass.
- Extend fixed-stack-offset widening suppression to ANY expressions
and all dynptr arguments described by helper/kfunc prototypes.
- Fix BTF array handling: retain bounds checks for fixed arrays inside
flexible-array elements and preserve array type IDs when element
types contain typedefs.
- Fix SCEV handling of endian conversions and narrow fills on
big-endian systems.
- Grow expression storage geometrically and scale the expression hash
table with program size. Add cancellation/rescheduling checks to
dominator computation and fix the postorder-number allocation leak.
- Pack bpf_reg_state/bpf_func_state for latter to fit back into
the 1 KiB allocation bucket, measured SCEV memory consumption
overhead is 3% now.
- Major additions in the selftests.

To: bpf, ast; +Cc: andrii, daniel, kernel-team, yonghong.song, Eduard Zingerman
The following patches in the series add support for may_write property
inference. To properly track this property there is a need to
distinguish three ways the helpers/kfuncs affect stack:
- read;
- write and destroy all previous stack tracking information for
affected slots;
- both read and write the stack slots, potentially preserving some of
the tracking information.
The later property can't be encoded by signed access_byte convention.
Hence, introduce arg_access_info with a size and separate may_read,
may_write and must_write bits. Convert the liveness access recording
paths to use it. Proper may_write calculation and support will be
added in the following patches.

To: bpf, ast; +Cc: andrii, daniel, kernel-team, yonghong.song, Eduard Zingerman
Adjust bpf_helper_stack_access_bytes() to return results as a struct
arg_access_info. The result is based on bpf_func_proto->argX_type
value as in the following table:
| Argument flags | allow_uninit_stack | Meaning |
|----------------------+--------------------+----------------------|
| MEM_WRITE | true | may_read, must_write |
| MEM_WRITE+MEM_UNINIT | true | must_write |
| MEM_WRITE | false | may_read, must_write |
| MEM_WRITE+MEM_UNINIT | false | may_read, may_write |
| 0 | true/false | may_read |
MEM_WRITE now produces must_write when allow_uninit_stack is true:
the verifier discards previous stack knowledge over the affected
range. Previously, liveness only treated MEM_UNINIT this way.
Also use resolve_map_arg_type() to account for bpf_map_peek_elem()
treating its buffer as an input for bloom filters.
Annotate ringbuf dynptr submit and discard arguments with MEM_WRITE.
Their existing OBJ_RELEASE handling already invalidates the dynptr, but
the prototypes need to describe the write as well as the release.

Return kfunc stack effects through arg_access_info while preserving the
existing BTF size lookup and read/def classification. Retain __sz/__szk
handling and conservatively mark pointer arguments as possible writes.
Remove the temporary signed-size adapter from liveness. Add liveness
assertions for privileged and unprivileged __uninit outputs.

Track stack slots that instructions may modify, in order to account
for such writes when constructing SCEV expressions.
Consume the may_write flag in arg_access_info separately from reads and
definite writes. Include partially covered slots and all candidate
offsets; imprecise writes mark whole candidate frames. Possible writes
do not kill liveness.
Merge analyzed instances as:
may_write(dst) |= may_write(src)
must_write(dst) &= must_write(src)
For each ancestor frame f, summarize callee writes at the callsite:
may_write(callsite, f) |= OR_{i in callee} may_write(i, f)

SCEV needs may-write information to invalidate stack expressions after
indirect writes. Liveness tracks this per function instance,
but SCEV is not callchain-sensitive and needs a summary across
calling contexts.
For each instruction, union the current-frame may_write masks from all
analyzed instances. Represent 8-byte slots as a summary of constituent
halves. Store the summary in insn_aux_data and expose it via a helper.

SCEV needs live stack information in order to skip tracking dead
slots. Liveness tracks this per function instance, but SCEV is not
callchain-sensitive and needs a summary across calling contexts.
For each instruction, union the current-frame liveness masks from all
analyzed function instances. Represent 8-byte slots as a summary of
constituent halves. Store the summary in insn_aux_data.

SCEV needs to know which registers might be stack pointers at a
particular instruction. This information is used to avoid widening
registers if that would hinder further verification.
See the patch [1] for additional information.
liveness.c:compute_subprog_args() already tracks this information.
This commit modifies it to save the information in insn_aux_data for
further usage.

Atomic read-modify-write instructions are recorded as reads only,
omitting their stack write effects from the may_write masks needed
by SCEV.
Record both read and write accesses for atomic RMW operations. Keep
LOAD_ACQ read-only and STORE_REL write-only. Share the precise/imprecise
stack-access dispatch so both accesses use the same address handling.

Track spilled stack pointers through 64-bit atomic accesses:
- BPF_STORE_REL spills the source register.
- BPF_LOAD_ACQ restores the spilled value into dst_reg.
- BPF_XCHG and BPF_{ADD,AND,OR,XOR} | BPF_FETCH restore it into src_reg.
- BPF_CMPXCHG restores it into R0.
This prevents missing stack accesses through pointers recovered by these
instructions, matching the main verifier's spill/fill behavior.

Stack liveness currently analyzes global callees in the context of their
callers. The resulting read/write marks describe only the current body,
but freplace can replace it after the caller has been verified.
A no-op callee taking a stack pointer can be replaced with one writing
through that pointer, leaving the call's may_write marks incomplete.
SCEV could then preserve a stack counter recurrence across a call that
resets it, invalidating a loop termination proof.
Instead, derive global call effects from BTF argument types instead,
same is it done on the main verification pass.

This computes exact liveness for the arguments of a call to a
subprogram instead of assuming that r1..r5 are read:
- For static subprograms compute use registers at the
bpf_compute_live_registers() fixpoint phase.
- For global subprograms use BTF information.
Add a separate pass doing try_btf_prepare_func_args() in order for
bpf_subprog_info->arg_slot_cnt to be available during
bpf_compute_live_registers().
The conservative liveness marks hindered SCEV widening logic on a set
of production programs.

Used by the SCEV widening logic later in the series.
The verifier checks alignment for some memory accesses.
When SCEV widens a pointer or an index variable, it must retain
alignment information in order to allow array access.

Add cnum32_union() and cnum64_union() to compute a smallest circular
range containing both inputs.
Do so by enumerating the following configurations in a rotated
frame (a.base at the origin):
0 UT_MAX
|---------------------------------------------------|
[= a ==============================] |
[= b tail =] [= b main ===================>
[= union ===========================================]
0 UT_MAX
|---------------------------------------------------|
[= a =====================] |
[= b tail ======] [= b main =====>
[= union tail ============] [= union main =>
0 UT_MAX
|---------------------------------------------------|
[= a =======] |
[= b tail =============] [= b main =====>
[= union tail =========] [= union main =>
0 UT_MAX
|---------------------------------------------------|
[= a =========================] |
| [= b ====================] |
[= union ==================================] |
0 UT_MAX
|---------------------------------------------------|
[= a =====================================] |
| [= b ========] |
[= union =================================] |
0 UT_MAX
|---------------------------------------------------|
[= a ============] |
| [= b =======] |
Two possible covering arcs:
[= ab ======================================] |
[= ba tail ======] [= ba main =========>
Pick the smaller one.

Add cnum64_intersect_linear(), which intersects a cnum64 interval with the
set of integers congruent to 'base' modulo 'step', i.e. the points
base + step * k. It tightens the interval by rounding its signed minimum up
and its signed maximum down to the nearest such point, and returns an empty
cnum when no point falls within the interval.
The arithmetic is done on the signed bounds [smin, smax]. The line is defined
over the integers, while a cnum64 is an arc on the u64 circle, so a u64-modular
computation would misplace the line for negative values whenever 'step' does
not divide 2^64. Working from the signed bounds keeps the residues consistent,
e.g. it can reason about a range like [-9, 3] with step 3.
Also add imod() to bpf_verifier.h: a mathematical modulo returning an
always-non-negative residue (unlike C's '%', which follows the sign of the
dividend). It is used by cnum64_intersect_linear() and by the base/step
tracking added in subsequent patches.
This is a building block for tracking scalar registers whose value is known
to lie on a line base + step * k.

Expose the existing helpers verifier.c:rev_opcode() and
verifier.c:flip_opcode() as bpf_rev_opcode() and bpf_flip_opcode()
and declare them in bpf_verifier.h. The helpers are used by SCEV
logic while analyzing loop conditions.

When windening SCEV expressions like *fp-8 -> (any *fp-8 *fp-16),
fp-8 might be not yet allocated. Expose a utility function such
that widening logic can handle this.

regsafe() currently requires an exact match for PTR_TO_STACK registers.
This prevents an explored state from pruning a current state whose
variable-offset range is a subset of the explored range.
This change allows a checkpoint containing a widened stack pointer to
cover narrower offsets reached on subsequent loop iterations,
for example [-56, -8] within [-64, -8].
Merge the PTR_TO_STACK case with PTR_TO_MEM and others, as the set of
necessary checks is almost identical. The only difference is a map_uid
check, which is not needed for PTR_TO_STACK. All locations that
produce PTR_TO_STACK reset map_uid to zero.

Extend scalar register tracking with a linear "base + step * k" description:
each scalar carries two u16 fields, base and step (invariant: base < step),
recording that its value is some point on the line base + step * k.
A fresh scalar starts as base=0, step=1, i.e. any integer.
This lets the verifier reason about strided values, e.g. an index multiplied
by an element size, which neither the min/max bounds nor the tnum can capture
for a non-power-of-2 stride. Such reasoning is necessary to allow
array access with a variable offset through PTR_TO_BTF_ID, e.g.
for expressions like p->arr[i].field.
reg_bounds_sync() uses the description in two ways:
- __reg_bound_offset() clears the low bits of var_off implied by the number
of trailing zeros shared by base and step.
- __update_bounds_from_step() intersects the 64-bit range with the line via
cnum64_intersect_linear(), snapping smin/smax to actual points on it.
This is the last step of the sync, as refining the range from var_off
can move the bounds off the line.
range_within() is extended to check whether the cur register's equation
describes a subset of the points described by the old register's equation.
Scalar ALU operations update base/step as follows:
- ADD of a constant (including pointer + scalar): keep step, shift base;
- MUL by a constant: scale step and base by the constant;
- LSH by a constant: scale step and base by the corresponding power of two;
- sign extension: keep the register unchanged if all values fit the target
type, reset to base=0, step=1 otherwise;
- All other operations reset to base=0, step=1.
Branch (eq/neq) checks do not take into account base/step yet.

From: Eduard Zingerman @ 2026-10-09 10:47 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: bpf, ast; +Cc: andrii, daniel, kernel-team, yonghong.song, Eduard Zingerman
Relax the requirements for reads like `p->arr[i].field`, where `p` is a
PTR_TO_BTF_ID, by allowing `i` to be a non-constant value.
This is useful for loops over arrays accessed from a PTR_TO_BTF_ID
when the verifier widens the loop induction variable.
Check that the access stays within array bounds based on the access
register's min and max bounds. Check that the access is aligned with
array elements using the register's `base` and `step`.
Technically, modify btf_struct_access() such that:
- it identifies `field` by walking BTF from the minimum offset
(the register's reg_smin + static instruction offset);
- it remembers which arrays contain `field`;
- it checks that offsets `k * step` stay within the array
and point to the same `field`;
- it does not check upper bounds for flexible arrays
(as is already the case for constant-offset access).
Support for flexible arrays nested inside trailing struct members
(e.g. p->nested.data[i], with data declared as int data[]) is left
for future work.

Dominator intersections and SCEV worklist scheduling need to compare
instructions by their DFS postorder rank. Save per-instruction
postorder numbers alongside the existing postorder sequence.
This commit modifies bpf_compute_postorder() to actually do the DFS
traversal, instead of scheduling traversal of all siblings at once.
Consider a graph:
A -> B
A -> C
C -> B
Old result: C, B, A
DFS result: B, C, A
Fixes: efcda22aa541 ("bpf: compute instructions postorder per subprogram")

Tests for multiple analyses performed by the verifier need the
verifier log to contain analysis results alongside the program
disassembly. This patch moves the log-level-2 program dump from
bpf_compute_live_registers() to a standalone function called from
bpf_check(), in order to provide a common logging function for such
analyses (and thus avoid printing program disassembly multiple times).
Rename the dump header from "Live regs before insn:" to
"Program dump (scc? insn#: live_regs_before):" and print available
source-line information before the corresponding instructions.

SCEV needs to find an exit condition that dominates a loop's backedge;
such conditions bound every loop iteration. Compute the immediate
dominator tree as a prerequisite for identifying such conditions.
Use the iterative reverse-postorder algorithm from:
"A Simple, Fast Dominance Algorithm" by Cooper et al.

SCEV needs to process loops from innermost to outermost, summarizing
results for nested loops. Add a pass to compute the loop structure.
Use a non-recursive adaptation of the algorithm from:
"A New Algorithm for Identifying Loops in Decompilation" by Wei et al.
Record the loop hierarchy per instruction:
- The field insn_aux_data->loop_header records the innermost loop
header containing it.
- The field insn_aux_data->loop records additional information about
the loop if this instruction is a loop header (exits, backedges,
irreducibility).

Utility functions to take a union of two registers' scalar values:
merge the circular 32-bit and 64-bit bounds, tnums and base/step
of two registers, then synchronize and validate the result.
Leave id invalidation and type validation to the caller.
Caller should use bpf_reg_union_compatible() to ensure
that final union result is sensible.

SCEV widening needs an explicit checkpoint preserving the original
loop-entry state, independently of ordinary state-cache heuristics.
This commit extracts checkpoint creation logic from
bpf_is_state_visited() into a separate utility function.

When dealing with loops like:
for (ptr = ...; ptr < end_ptr; ptr += 8)
...
Scalar evolution needs to know if ptr and end_ptr identify a same
memory location (possibly with different offsets). If they do,
it is sound to attempt to infer iteration bounds for such a loop.

SCEV needs information about the program's basic-block structure.
Piggyback on compute_predecessors() and set
insn_aux_data->bb_end for an instruction if:
- it has multiple successors, or
- its sole successor has multiple predecessors, or
- it is a jump instruction.

SCEV integration logic might create two consecutive checkpoints at the
same instruction w/o processing any instructions in between.
This happens for loop-entry checkpoint -> regular checkpoint
sequences, where the loop-entry checkpoint has to remain unchanged
but the regular checkpoint is used for widening.
This commit adapts bpf_mark_chain_precision() to support this.

Assign algebraic expressions to loop variables (registers and stack
spills), describing how their values evolve across iterations. These
summaries provide symbolic input for the subsequent widening patch.
The algorithm draws on ideas from the following papers:
- "Symbolic Evaluation of Chains of Recurrences for Loop Optimization"
Robert A. van Engelen, 2000
- "The CR# Algebra and its Application in Loop Analysis and Optimization"
Robert A. van Engelen, 2004
The analysis proceeds in two phases:
- Compute expressions for one symbolic iteration: start each variable
with a reference to its input value, apply instruction effects and
join expressions where control-flow paths merge.
- Convert the resulting backedge updates to recurrences at the header,
then substitute these recurrences into expressions at the latch.
Analyze loops innermost first. Within each loop, visit blocks in
topological order (reverse postorder, with backedges ignored and nested
loops collapsed). Treat each nested loop as an opaque operation:
preserve its invariant values, forget the others and continue at its
exits, without expanding its iterations.
For example, using 64-bit arithmetic:
0: r7 = 5;
1: r6 = 0;
2: do { // header
3: if (r6 == 1)
4: r7 = 10;
5: r6 += 1;
6: } while (r6 < 3); // latch
Expressions use symbolic inputs r6 and r7; the concrete values from
lines 0-1 are supplied later by the main verifier.
First phase:
------------
At each instruction, an environment maps register numbers to their
current expressions. Transfer functions update this mapping, while
joins merge the environments arriving along different paths.
For illustration, follow each branch separately to the backedge:
- At 3, take the path skipping 4: r6 = r6, r7 = r7.
- At 5, transfer(r6 += 1): r6 = r6 -> r6 = (+ r6 1).
- At 2, the first path contributes r6 = (+ r6 1), r7 = r7.
- At 4, on the other path from 3, transfer(r7 = 10):
r7 = r7 -> r7 = 10.
- At 5, transfer(r6 += 1): r6 = r6 -> r6 = (+ r6 1).
- At 2, join the two paths' contributions:
join((+ r6 1), (+ r6 1)) = (+ r6 1) for r6;
join(r7, 10) = (any r7 10) for r7.
Equal expressions stay unchanged; different expressions become ANY
alternatives. These summarize one iteration, without unrolling the loop.
Second phase:
-------------
The update r6 = (+ r6 1) says that each iteration adds 1 to r6.
Repeating this update n times gives r6_entry + n, a linear recurrence.
- At header 2, r6 = (+ r6 1) becomes (linear r6 1), meaning
r6_entry + n, where n counts iterations from zero.
- At latch 6, substitute this recurrence into (+ r6 1):
(+ (linear r6 1) 1) simplifies to (linear (+ r6 1) 1),
meaning r6_entry + 1 + n.
- At both points, r7 retains (any r7 10): either its entry value
or 10. ANY records alternatives, not numeric ranges or the path
conditions selecting them. Unchanged variables retain their inputs.

Loop-bound computation and register widening
===========================================
During the main verification pass, use SCEV expressions and register
values at the entry to the loop to estimate the number of iterations
the loop might execute. Use this number to widen loop induction variables.
For example:
0: r7 = 5;
1: r6 = 0;
2: while (r6 < 3) { // latch
3: if (r6 == 1)
4: r7 = 10;
5: r6 += 1;
6: }
8: use(r7);
- Scalar evolution expressions (SCEVs) at the latch are:
- r6 = (linear r6 1)
- r7 = (any r7 10)
- For this pre-condition loop, this corresponds to the linear inequality
`r6_entry + n < 3`. With r6_entry = 0, the inequality is `n < 3`.
- Hence infer that r6's range at line 2 is [0,3], including the final
failed test. The body starts with r6 in [0,2].
- r7's (any r7 10) expression means that its initial value 5 from line 0
is joined with 10 from line 4: it is widened to [5,10] within
and after the loop.
Currently such inference is supported for:
- Reducible loops with one backedge and complete backedge/exit lists.
- A linear latch dominating the backedge, with one successor exiting
the loop. Additional exits are allowed; they can shorten execution.
- 64-bit arithmetic and comparisons whose continuation condition
normalizes to signed/unsigned < or <=, or !=.
- Initial counter, latch offset, slope and bound evaluable as constants
at loop entry, yielding a finite, representable iteration bound.
- Values with an eligible type at loop entry, e.g. SCALAR_VALUE or
PTR_TO_STACK, but not PTR_TO_CTX.
In order for widening to proceed, every register live at the loop
entry has to have a SCEV that can be widened. Currently, the following
expressions are supported:
- (linear <self> <step>): entry value + iteration# * constant step.
- (reg <self>): loop invariant; keep its entry value unchanged.
- (any ...): join the entry value with immediates or invariant registers;
types must match, and immediates require SCALAR_VALUE.
Main verification loop integration
==================================
Before proceeding with the usual instruction processing, do_check()
takes the following steps at loop entries (H):
- Checks whether the loop can be widened and obtains its
iteration bound (scev.c:bpf_compute_loop_iters()).
- If it can, saves an unwidened checkpoint E0, which will be used as
a base for deriving widened values throughout this invocation of
the loop.
- Widens registers in the current state using E0 and SCEV expressions
computed for H (scev.c:bpf_widen_scev_regs()).
- Pushes a per-frame loop-stack record to the current verifier state.
For terminating loops, the record stores E0 and the iteration bounds.
- Lets is_state_visited() create a new checkpoint W at the same
header, now containing the widened values, and proceeds with
normal checking.
- On an exit edge, pops the loop record and verifies the exit
path normally.
is_state_visited() treats a loop proven to terminate like an
iterator-based loop: RANGE_WITHIN comparison attempts to establish
convergence against a checkpoint whose exploration is still
in progress.
For example:
r0 = 0;
H: r0 += 1;
if (r0 != 3) goto H;
exit;
first H: prove H_count = 3; save E0(r0 = 0)
widen r0 to [0,2]; push the loop record
save W(r0 = [0,2])
body: r0 becomes [1,3]; fork at the conditional
exit: r0 = 3; pop the loop record and check exit
backedge: r0 = [1,2]; clamp, then match with W and prune
Clamping
--------
Independent register ranges lose correlations between induction
variables. For example:
r6 = 0; r7 = 0;
do { r6 += 1; r7 += 2; } while (r6 < 3);
use(r7);
header: r6 in [0,2], r7 in {0,2,4}
body: r6 in [1,3], r7 in {2,4,6}
backedge: r6 in [1,2], r7 still in {2,4,6}
The latch narrows r6 but does not propagate this refinement to r7.
To account for this, before comparing states on a backedge,
scev.c:bpf_clamp_scev_regs() recomputes r7's range from E0 and the
saved iteration bound, then intersects the current range {2,4,6}
with the recomputed {0,2,4}, arriving at {2,4}.

For loops like this:
int arr[10];
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
arr[i] = i;
use(arr[i]);
SCEV-based loop widening converts `i` from being enumerated 10 times
as a constant value 0, 1, ..., 9 to being enumerated once as a range
[0..9]. From the point of view of the main verification pass, this
replaces constant-offset stack access with varying-offset
stack access.
The verifier tracks stack values accessed through varying offsets much
less precisely than those accessed via constant offsets.
For example, the read at use(arr[i]) would yield STACK_MISC.
Precision might be lost for the following operations:
- spills (BPF_ST/STX to the stack): stored value can no longer be
recovered when read back, e.g. after the loop;
- fills (BPF_LDX from the stack): a varying-offset read of a spilled
pointer yields a SCALAR_VALUE, so the pointer is lost.
- calls that construct objects on the stack (dynptr, iter, irq_flag,
res_spin_lock): the stack argument is required to have a
constant offset.
This commit adds logic to avoid widening registers used by
such instructions:
- During the main SCEV computation stage, collect_store_base_regs():
- inspects instructions accessing the stack (spill, fill, call to a
function listed in bpf_needs_fixed_stack_off), and
- if there is a SCEV expression for a stack base address register,
records which registers the expression depends on in
the bpf_loop->store_base_reg field.
- `store_base_reg`s accumulated for nested loops are propagated
to outer loops as well.
- During the loop-widening stage, bpf_compute_loop_iters() refuses to
widen a loop when some of the registers the loop changes appear in
store_base_regs.

Pack bpf_reg_state to bring it's size from 88 bytes to 80.
Consequently, bpf_func_state changes from 1048 to 960.
Thus bpf_func_state moves from 2K to 1K allocator bucket.
1K bucket is the one it fit before the SCEV series.
With this optimization SCEV increases memory consumption on a subset
of Meta internal programs by 3%, without this optimization the
increase is 48%.

Same as __msg, but expects the match on the line immediately after
the last match, not just any later line.
E.g.:
__msg_next("a")
__msg_next("c")
This would match consecutive output "a\n" "c\n",
but would not match output "a\n" "b\n" "c\n".

The bpf_iter/unix and skc_to_unix_sock tests index sun_path but bound
that index by sizeof(struct sockaddr_un). This allows indices 108 and
109 into the 108-byte array. With SCEV loop widening, the variable-offset
BTF access check rejects the resulting range.
Bound the index by sizeof(sun_path) in both tests. Runtime behavior for
valid UNIX addresses is unchanged.

Validate changes from:
"bpf: allow subrange relations for PTR_TO_STACK in regsafe()".
Add a test case that checks that a widened stack pointer with range
[-72, -16] is considered a superset of a stack pointer with range
[-64, -16].

Branches to cover:
- per-insn writes (record_stack_access_off):
* off_cnt==1, fully covered slots -> def + may_def (equal)
* partial coverage -> may_def only (no def)
* off_cnt 2-4, precise offsets -> may_def only, per offset
- whole-frame writes:
* off_cnt==0 (offset lost) -> may_def SPIS_ALL
* ARG_IMPRECISE (frame lost) -> may_def SPIS_ALL per frame
- merge_instances():
* both passes touch a frame -> may_def union
* one pass leaves a frame untouched -> may_def preserved
- merge_may_write(): a callee's writes into ancestor frames are
summarized as may_def at the caller's call instruction
- analyze_subprog() -> may_def stack slot range
when callback is unknown.
Tests exercising them:
- may_write_two_precise_offsets - off_cnt 2-4 precise multi-offset
- imprecise_frame_write - cross-frame ARG_IMPRECISE write,
plus its caller-side summarization
- merge_preserves_may_write - map-value vs stack pointer at two
callsites: union is preserved when
one pass does not touch the frame
- must_write_not_same_slot - off_cnt==0 whole-frame may_def
- two_byte_write_no_kill - partial write, may_def without def
- kfunc_iter_stack_liveness - full-slot def == may_def
- helper_output_unknown_size - output size unknown to liveness,
may_def without use or def
- caller_stack_write,
conditional_stx_in_subprog,
shared_instance_must_write_overwrite
- callee writes summarized as may_def
at the call site
- bpf_loop_two_callbacks - call to unknown callback marks full
stack range as may_def.

Liveness analysis should produce may_def marks for read-modify-write
atomic operations:
- lock *(u64 *)(r10 -8) += r1
- r1 = atomic64_fetch_add((u64 *)(r10 -8), r1)
- r1 = atomic64_xchg((u64 *)(r10 -8), r1)
- r0 = atomic64_cmpxchg((u64 *)(r10 -8), r0, r1)

Check stack write tracking for atomic operations:
- Restored by 64-bit load-acquire, xchg, fetch_add and cmpxchg.
- Spilled by store-release and restored by a plain load.
- Restored from a caller's stack slot by xchg in a callee.

Tests for helper arguments whose access size or read/write effects
depend on the map:
- helper_map_output_known_size checks that for a known map access
MEM_WRITE | MEM_UNINIT produces a must_write mark.
- helper_map_output_merged_sizes checks that when maps with different
value sizes merge, MEM_WRITE | MEM_UNINIT produces use and may_def
marks over the maximum value size, without a def mark.
- helper_bloom_peek_input checks that for bpf_map_peek_elem()
on a bloom filter the buffer is treated as an input.

Check that passing a stack pointer to a no-op global callee produces:
- use, def and may_def marks for a fixed-size memory argument.
- No stack effects for an untrusted BTF pointer argument.
This verifies that call effects follow the declared argument types
rather than the callee's body.

- step_arith{32,64}_no_overflow: non-overflowing +, *, <<
operations maintain step and base.
- step_neg_value_range: Preserve the signed range of {-3, 0, 3, 6}
when intersecting with a non-power-of-two step across zero.
- step_arith{32,64}_overflow: Reset the stride and preserve valid
bounds when a {32,64}-bit operation wraps.
- step_mov32_truncate: Reset the stride when MOV32 discards nonzero
upper bits from positive values.
- step_mov32_negative: Reset the stride when MOV32 zero-extends
the low 32 bits of negative signed values.
- step_movsx: Reset the stride when sign extension changes the
register value.
- step_movsx_bounds_on_line: Keep bounds and stride when sign
extension does not change the register value.
- step_bounds_resync_after_arith: Snap bounds refined from var_off
back onto the line.
- step_linked_regs_add64: Translate both bounds and base when
propagating a comparison's refinement through a scalar-ID delta.

Tests for the base/step reasoning in states.c:range_within():
- step_prune_hit_multiple: prune a step-4 range contained in a cached
step-2 range when the scalar is used to address the stack.
- step_prune_miss_non_multiple: do not let a cached step-2 range hide a
step-3 path reaching division by zero.
- step_prune_hit_const_on_line: prune constant 6 against a cached
base-0, step-3 range.
- step_prune_miss_const_off_line: do not prune constant 7 against that
range even though its bounds and tnum admit the value.

From: Eduard Zingerman @ 2026-10-09 10:48 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: bpf, ast; +Cc: andrii, daniel, kernel-team, yonghong.song, Eduard Zingerman
Verifier tests for accessing arrays at a varying offset through a
PTR_TO_BTF_ID pointer, e.g. a[i].b where 'i' is a register with a
varying value:
- bpf_obj_new() is used to obtain a PTR_TO_BTF_ID to a program-defined
struct
- bpf_get_current_task_btf() is used to obtain a PTR_TO_BTF_ID from
the kernel BTF.
The cases cover:
- in-bounds access to a field of an array of structs;
- out-of-bounds access where the maximal offset runs past the array;
- a scalar (long) array with a matching stride;
- a byte array (step 1);
- a 4-byte read whose maximal offset spills past the array end;
- an unaligned step that is not a whole number of elements;
- both dimensions of a 2D array;
- an array of pointers within a program-allocated object, where reading a
pointer member yields a SCALAR_VALUE but the varying offset is still
validated against the array bounds (in-bounds and out-of-bounds);
- a varying access into an array embedded in a kernel BTF type
(task_struct's comm[]), covering the non-allocated, trusted-pointer path
(in-bounds and out-of-bounds);
- an array nested below a struct member at a non-zero offset, exercising
the offset telescoping done while walking across a struct boundary
(in-bounds and out-of-bounds);
- a trailing flexible array member, whose unbounded tail makes a varying
access have no upper bound to exceed. A program-defined struct cannot be
used here because bpf_obj_new() forbids flexible array members, so a
kernel type (struct vring_used, with its 'ring[]' tail) is used
(in-bounds, and an unaligned step that is not a whole number of
elements).

Test cases covering the following branches in bpf_compute_loops():
- Case B: simple backedge creating a loop (loop_single)
- Case B: two independent loops (loop_two_independent)
- Case B + D: nested loops where the inner header's loop_header points
to the outer header (loop_nested)
- Case C: diamond CFG with no loops (fwd_edges_no_loop)
- Case D: sibling inner loops within one outer loop
(loop_nested_siblings)
- Three levels of loop nesting (loop_three_levels)
- Loop with an if-else body containing forward branches
(loop_with_if_else)
- Case E: An irreducible loop (loop_irreducible)
- A self-loop (loop_self)
- A test with sibling loops nested in outer loops
(loop_nested_siblings_common_ancestors)
- A test case with outer loop's backedge originating
from an inner loop (loop_outer_backedge_from_inner).
Cases B, C, D and E are described in loops.c:compute_loops_in_subprog().

To: bpf, ast; +Cc: andrii, daniel, kernel-team, yonghong.song, Eduard Zingerman
Coverage:
- straight-line code with an ldimm64 in the middle;
- an asymmetric if-then-else diamond (unequal-depth idoms_intersect());
- a simple loop, a loop with an if-else body, and nested loops;
- a loop header with two back edges (three predecessors);
- an irreducible CFG (fixpoint convergence);
- immediate dominators across subprogram boundaries, including a callee
whose entry instruction is itself a loop header;
- a self-loop;
- an indirect jump (gotox) with a two-entry jump table.

- Computed expression shapes: register and spilled-counter recurrences,
substitution at latches, agreeing and conflicting backedge updates,
and ALU, extension, byte-swap, load/store and atomic expressions.
- Iteration bounds and header-visit counts for:
- pre-condition loops using JEQ, JLT, JLE, JGE and JGT;
- post-condition loops using JLT, JLE, JGE, JGT and JNE;
- signed pre- and post-conditions using JSLT, JSLE, JSGT and JSGE;
- increasing and decreasing counters, nonzero initial values,
immediate and invariant-register bounds, and immediate exits;
- additional exits that reduce the minimum iteration count or
tighten the upper bound;
- rounded bounds, counter wraparound, count overflow, extreme
steps and JNE divisibility.
- Widening, backedge clamping and state-pruning convergence,
including multiple induction variables used for map-value accesses
and nonconstant entry values requiring a common alignment.
Check precision propagation to initial values and bounds.
- Nested and sibling loops, shared headers, exits to another loop
header, exits across multiple nesting levels, and side entries
into loop nests.
Check conservative summaries for irreducible children while still
widening supported reducible descendants, value preservation on
inner-loop exits, and detection of nonterminating outer loops.
- Invalidation of stack-slot expressions after indirect stack writes
and global calls. Widening across bpf_probe_read_kernel() calls
in static subprograms.
- Stack spill widths and slot states, including narrow spills, zero,
unallocated and STACK_MISC slots, and counters spilled and filled
using store-release/load-acquire.
- Avoid widening registers used to address stack spills, fills and
dynptr constructor arguments, including dependencies through nested
loops. Conversely, allow widening addresses of byte-sized stores.
- Conditional assignments joining scalar values and stack pointers,
including preservation of a common base and gcd-derived step.
- Pointer widening and comparisons with compatible memory origins,
fallback for incompatible origins and nullable pointers, and
invalidation of stale packet pointer relationships.

bpf: compute parameters liveness in bpf_compute_live_registers()
This commit changes the verifier to compute exact liveness for the
arguments of calls to subprograms instead of assuming r1..r5 are read.
It adds a separate pass to prepare BTF function arguments early so that
liveness can be accurately determined.

[Severity: High]
Does marking these unused arguments as not live for static subprograms
interact poorly with verifier state pruning?

[Severity: High]
Because unused arguments are no longer marked as live due to the change
in compute_insn_live_regs(), can this NOT_INIT check be completely
bypassed by regsafe()?
If the verifier first explores a path where the argument is initialized,
the subprogram is not marked unreliable. If it subsequently explores
another path where the argument is left NOT_INIT, this second path
will be pruned before evaluating the BPF_CALL instruction and hitting
btf_check_func_arg_match().
Could this result in the subprogram remaining "reliable", allowing
fentry/freplace extension programs to attach to it and potentially
leak uninitialized kernel memory via the BTF context?

bpf: varying offset access support for PTR_TO_BTF_ID pointers
This commit relaxes requirements for varying offset accesses to PTR_TO_BTF_ID
pointers, verifying they stay within array bounds and align with elements.
It modifies btf_struct_access to validate minimum offsets and array spans,
while skipping upper bounds checks for flexible arrays.

[Severity: High]
Does this allow unbounded variable offset reads on trusted pointers?
This logic explicitly skips the upper bound check for flexible arrays,
assuming PROBE_MEM will safely catch out-of-bounds page faults at runtime.
However, if the pointer being accessed is trusted (meaning it has the
PTR_TRUSTED flag and lacks PTR_UNTRUSTED), wouldn't bpf_may_fault_on_deref()
evaluate to false?
If bpf_may_fault_on_deref() is false, bpf_convert_ctx_accesses() won't
convert the load into a PROBE_MEM exception-handled load. Passing an
arbitrarily large offset here could result in a native load from unmapped
memory, potentially crashing the kernel.

[Severity: High]
Could this assignment truncate a large 64-bit value into a negative 32-bit
offset?
Earlier in check_ptr_to_btf_access(), the negative check for off was removed
and replaced with min_off. Now that off += reg->var_off.value is executed
down here for BPF_WRITE with custom handlers, a very large 64-bit
var_off.value could wrap into a negative 32-bit integer.
Since there is no negativity check immediately following this addition, the
truncated negative offset gets passed directly into the custom
btf_struct_access handler.
If a handler like bpf_scx_btf_struct_access compares this negative offset
against size_t boundaries, couldn't this bypass the bounds check and
allow out-of-bounds writes to kernel objects?

This isn't a bug in the code, but the commit author is
Eduard Zingerman <ezingerman@fb.com> while the only Signed-off-by is
Eduard Zingerman <eddyz87@gmail.com>.
checkpatch.pl reports this as a "From:/Signed-off-by: email address
mismatch". The other commits in this series use eddyz87@gmail.com as the
author.
Should the author be reset to eddyz87@gmail.com, or should a Signed-off-by

> selftests/bpf: tests for BTF-based global subprog stack liveness
TL;DR: Test issue: the "no stack effects" check in global_callee_btf_arg may
never fail, since the call-line __msg pattern also matches the main verifier
pass log, so a liveness regression could go undetected.

This isn't a bug, but can the absence check in global_callee_btf_arg ever
fail?
The pattern __msg("3: (85) call pc+{{[0-9]+}}\n") is matched against the
whole verifier log, not just the liveness dump. If
bpf_global_subprog_stack_access_bytes() regressed and the call picked up
marks, print_instance() would emit:
3: (85) call pc+1 ; use: fp0-8 may_def: fp0-8
which no longer matches. But bpf_compute_live_registers() runs before
do_check_main(), and do_check() later logs the same instruction as:
verbose(env, "%d: ", env->insn_idx);
bpf_verbose_insn(env, insn);
verbose(env, "\n");
That produces "3: (85) call pc+1\n", which satisfies the pattern regardless
of what the liveness dump printed. The test is also __success, which does
not depend on the liveness marks.
The commit message says this test verifies "No stack effects for an untrusted
BTF pointer argument". Would a __not_msg for the "call pc+" line with the
"; use:" / "may_def:" suffix, placed between the header __msg and a following
__msg, make the check effective? That way the main-pass trace falls outside
the checked span.

> selftests/bpf: tests for register base/step arithmetic
TL;DR: In verifier_bounds_step.c, the __no_step check on the "w5 = (s8)w1"
pattern looks unable to fail, since the trailing {{.*}}) swallows any "step="
text, so a missing step reset in sign-extension would go undetected.

Can the __no_step check after the w5 = (s8)w1 pattern ever fail? It looks
like it would pass even if a step were left on R5.
__no_step expands to __not_msg("step=") __msg("\n"), and
match_negative_msgs() in test_loader.c only looks for "step=" between the
end of the previous positive match and the next newline. The positive
pattern here ends in {{.*}}), and with leftmost-longest matching that
trailing .*\) runs to the last ')' on the line.
R5 is the highest-numbered scratched register at this insn, so the last
')' is the one closing R5=scalar(...). print_reg_state() emits
"step=%d+%d" just before that closing ')', so any step text is swallowed
by the {{.*}} and the span left for the negative check is empty.
For example, if the reg_step_reset() in coerce_subreg_to_size_sx() were
removed, R5 would keep step=0+24. zext_32_to_64() would not drop it
either, because reg_umax() at that point is still the copied 64-bit umax
of 168. The log line would then be:
R5=scalar(smin=0,smax=umax=0xfffffff0,smin32=-128,smax32=127,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff),step=0+24)
and the test would still pass. I checked this with libc regcomp/regexec
on a log line built the same way.
The comment above the test says "w5 = (s8)w1 -> [-128, 127] no step", but
no other test in the file covers the coerce_subreg_to_size_sx() reset:
step_movsx only uses 64-bit sign extension, and w4 = (s16)w1 takes the
no-op path.
The R3 check a couple of lines earlier works only because its pattern ends
in an explicit "127)". Would dropping the trailing {{.*}}) from the R5
pattern, e.g.:
__msg("w5 = (s8)w1 {{.*}}R5=scalar({{.*}}smin32=-128,smax32=127,") __no_step
let __no_step see the rest of R5's state (var_off=...) and fail when a
step is present? I checked this as well. The later series commit
c7b36680c7d9 ("selftests/bpf: tests for register base/step state
pruning") only appends to this file and does not change this pattern.

> bpf: bpf_func_state size optimization
TL;DR: The narrower memcmp prefix in states_maybe_looping() may stop comparing
id, parent_id and map_uid, so a terminating program accepted before could be
wrongly rejected as an "infinite loop"; the commit message doesn't mention it.

Does this narrower prefix drop id, parent_id and map_uid from the
comparison?
The old length, offsetof(struct bpf_reg_state, precise), was 80 bytes and
covered the raw id, parent_id and map_uid. The new
offsetofend(struct bpf_reg_state, step) is 68 bytes, and id, parent_id and
map_uid are all declared after step in the struct, so none of them are
compared any more. offsetof() cannot name the precise bitfield, but
offsetofend(struct bpf_reg_state, parent_id) would have kept id and
parent_id in the comparison.
Commit 8901cee9316d said this prefix comparison "continues to cover the
complete value state", and this commit message does not mention that the
comparison is being narrowed.
Before this change, the current frame's registers had to carry identical
raw ids before infinite-loop detection could fire. Now the decision rests
on states_equal(env, &sl->state, cur, EXACT). In EXACT mode regs_exact()
compares ids only with plain check_ids():
return memcmp(rold, rcur, offsetof(struct bpf_reg_state, id)) == 0 &&
check_ids(rold->id, rcur->id, idmap) && ...
That skips the extra checks that regsafe()/check_scalar_ids() do for
scalars: the ADD_CONST flags must match, and the base id (with the flag
stripped) must map consistently. The comment above check_scalar_ids()
describes this exact gap: "Without the base check, idmap gets two
independent entries A->B and A|flag->C|flag, missing that A->C conflicts
with A->B."
Can a program that terminates, and was accepted before, now be rejected
with "infinite loop detected"? For example (privileged, so ADD_CONST
linking is active):
r6 = rand&7; r7 = r6 (r6,r7 id A)
r8 = rand&7; r9 = r8; r9 += 1 (r8 id C, r9 id C|ADD64, delta 1)
L: if r6 > 3 goto out
if r9 <= 4 goto out (on entry r9 is tied to r8, so both
branches are possible)
r6 = rand&7; r7 = r6; r9 = r6; r9 += 1
(r9 is now tied to r6: id B|ADD64)
r8 = rand&7 (id D)
goto L
out: use r6..r9; exit
On the second visit to L the register values match the checkpoint exactly,
and only the ids differ (A->B, C|ADD->B|ADD, C->D). check_ids() accepts
this mapping even though r9 now depends on r6 instead of r8.
The old raw-id prefilter rejected the match (r6 id A != B), so exploration
went on: r6 <= 3 forces r9 <= 4 through sync_linked_regs(), every path from
the second visit reaches exit, and the program was accepted.
With this patch, states_maybe_looping() returns true, states_equal(EXACT)
succeeds, and bpf_is_state_visited() returns -EINVAL.
The same weakness could already be reached before this patch through ids
in stack spills or caller frames, which the prefilter never covered. This
patch extends it to registers in the current frame.
Should this compare up to offsetofend(struct bpf_reg_state, parent_id) and
compare map_uid separately? Alternatively, if dropping the ids is
intended, could the commit message say so, and could regs_exact() check
ids the way check_scalar_ids() does?

TL;DR: Test issue: byte_array_size_spanning may fail with a misaligned-access
message instead of the expected one on strict-alignment architectures
(riscv64, mips, loongarch); it may need __flag(BPF_F_ANY_ALIGNMENT).

byte_array_size_spanning() does a 4-byte load at a variable offset,
var_off (0x0; 0x1f) + 64, and expects btf_struct_access() to reject it with
"invalid variable offset access into struct outer".
check_mem_access() calls check_ptr_alignment() before it reaches
check_ptr_to_btf_access(), and bpf_check() turns on strict alignment when
CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is not set:
env->strict_alignment = !!(attr->prog_flags & BPF_F_STRICT_ALIGNMENT);
if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS))
env->strict_alignment = true;
if (attr->prog_flags & BPF_F_ANY_ALIGNMENT)
env->strict_alignment = false;
On such configurations (riscv64 with the default
RISCV_PROBE_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, mips, loongarch with ARCH_STRICT_ALIGN) the
load would be rejected first with:
misaligned access off (0x0; 0x1f)+64 size 4
__failure would still hold, but __msg("invalid variable offset access into
struct outer") would not match.
Should this test add __flag(BPF_F_ANY_ALIGNMENT), as the negative tests in
verifier_array_access.c do when their expected message isn't about
alignment, so the size-aware bound is what gets checked on every
architecture?

TL;DR:
- Per-loop-header allocation (~2.4 KB) is unbounded, so a privileged 1M-insn
program may use GiBs of memory before verification
- Latch and exit passes in bpf_compute_loops() lack
signal_pending()/cond_resched(), so deeply nested loops may stall a load

Each loop header gets its own struct bpf_loop with backedges[MAX_BACKEDGES]
embedded, which is roughly 408 bytes. On the first exit, add_exit() also
allocates the full MAX_LOOP_EXITS array, 256 * sizeof(struct bpf_loop_exit) =
2048 bytes. That is about 2.5 kilobytes per loop header, and there is no
limit on the number of loops in a program.
A privileged loader can submit up to BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_INSNS (1M)
instructions, and back-edges are accepted for it. Consider 1M instructions
of the form:
if r1 == 0 goto -1
followed by exit. Every instruction is a self-loop header, so
compute_loops_in_subprog() calls assign_header() and then mark_as_header()
for each one, which does the kvzalloc_obj(). Each one also has an exit edge
to the next instruction, so bpf_compute_loops() calls add_exit(), which does
the 2048 byte kvcalloc().
Can a single BPF_PROG_LOAD allocate about 2.4 GiB (around 2 million slab
objects) this way before do_check() gets a chance to reject the program?
The existing per-instruction struct bpf_insn_aux_data is about 160 bytes, so
this is more than ten times the verifier's per-instruction footprint. The
allocations use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT, but privileged loads are not serialized
by bpf_verifier_lock, so concurrent loaders add up. The commit message does
not mention the memory cost.
Would it make sense to size the exits array on demand, and to keep the
rarely used backedges array out of line?

Related to the above, add_exit() allocates the full MAX_LOOP_EXITS array
(256 entries, 2048 bytes) on the first exit of a loop, even though most loops
have only one or two exits.
Together with the struct bpf_loop allocated in mark_as_header(), this is
about 2.4 kilobytes per loop header, all of it charged with
GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT and alive until the end of bpf_check().
Could the exits array start small and double on demand up to MAX_LOOP_EXITS?
That would keep the same overflow semantics.

Do the "find latches" and "find exits" passes need the same
signal_pending()/cond_resched() guard that compute_loops_in_subprog() has?
compute_loops_in_subprog() does this:
if ((++i % 1024) == 0) {
if (signal_pending(current))
return -EAGAIN;
cond_resched();
}
with the comment "guard against pathological inputs, just in case", and
compute_subprog_idoms() in the preceding commit does the same. The two outer
loops over 'len' in bpf_compute_loops() have no such point.
For each exit edge, bpf_is_nested_loop() walks the loop_header chain of
sloop, and the 'for (t = iloop; ...)' walk calls it again for every
enclosing loop, so the cost is O(depth) to O(depth^2) per edge. Likewise,
find_dominating_conditions() calls idoms_intersect() and walks idoms[] from
each backedge source up to its header.
Privileged programs may have up to BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_INSNS (1M)
instructions and back-edges are allowed for them, so these walks are bounded
only by program size. This pass also runs before do_check(), so the
preemption and signal checks in do_check() do not apply.
On a non-preemptible kernel, can a deeply nested input make a single
BPF_PROG_LOAD run for a long time without rescheduling and without being
interruptible by a signal?
Would a periodic signal_pending()/cond_resched() check returning -EAGAIN in
the two outer 'for (i = 0; i < len; i++)' loops be appropriate, to match the
sibling passes?

TL;DR: Nit only: BPF_SCEV_REGS_NUM in bpf_verifier.h appears to be defined
twice, identically, with a duplicate comment; it compiles, but the copies
could diverge, so the new one could be dropped.

Isn't this a second definition of BPF_SCEV_REGS_NUM, comment included?
The same header already has it, added earlier in the series by "bpf: use
SCEV to widen bounded loops" for struct bpf_loop_iters::precise_regs:
/* SCEV/widening register space: r0..r10 plus every stack slot of a frame. */
#define BPF_SCEV_REGS_NUM (MAX_BPF_REG + MAX_BPF_STACK_SLOTS)
That earlier definition sits above struct bpf_loop, so
store_base_regs[BITS_TO_LONGS(BPF_SCEV_REGS_NUM)] can use it directly. The
two definitions are token-identical, so it compiles cleanly, but a later
edit to one copy could silently diverge from the other.
Could the new #define and its comment be dropped from this hunk? The
duplicate is still present at the end of the series (726d0559f576).

This isn't a bug, but nested_loop1() never calls bpf_get_prandom_u32. Could
the __imm(bpf_get_prandom_u32) operand be dropped here, and in expr_chain()
too, so the asm uses ": : : __clobber_all" like the neighbouring loop tests?
The tests that do call the helper (meet_agrees, meet_disagrees) need the
operand, but these two do not.

> bpf: derive global subprog stack liveness from BTF signatures
TL;DR: bpf_global_subprog_stack_access_bytes() likely matches ARG_ANYTHING
where btf_prepare_func_args() assigns ARG_SCALAR, so scalar args may get the
conservative read/write-all result; safe but less precise liveness.

^^^^
Can this case ARG_ANYTHING ever match? btf_prepare_func_args() doesn't
assign ARG_ANYTHING to a subprog argument. It encodes scalar parameters,
including both halves of a 16-byte struct passed by value, as ARG_SCALAR:
kernel/bpf/btf.c:btf_prepare_func_args() {
...
while (nslots--)
sub->args[slots_used++].arg_type = ARG_SCALAR;
...
}
do_check_common() and the exception callback check test for ARG_SCALAR too,
and ARG_SCALAR and ARG_ANYTHING are separate values in enum bpf_arg_type.
A scalar argument slot would therefore fall through to the default label,
which returns the conservative result (size = U32_MAX, may_read, may_write)
rather than the empty access described by the comment.
For example, with allow_ptr_leaks the main pass accepts a stack-derived
scalar here:
r1 = r10
r2 = r10
r2 += -8
r1 -= r2
call global_func(int x)
Pointer minus pointer becomes an unknown scalar, so the ARG_SCALAR check
passes. arg_track_alu64() keeps the frame identity (dst->frame ==
src->frame sets dst->off_cnt = 0), so arg_is_fp() is still true for r1.
record_arg_access() then calls record_stack_access() with off_cnt == 0,
which does mark_stack_read_all() and mark_stack_may_write_all() for the
whole caller frame at the call. Before this patch the callee was analyzed
in context and made no stack accesses through its scalar parameter.
The result is safe but less precise. More stack slots stay live, every
stack slot may be written at the call, and SCEV can no longer keep
stack-based recurrences across the call.
Should this be case ARG_SCALAR: instead? That looks sound, since neither
the callee nor an freplace body can dereference a scalar argument. No later
commit in the series (up to 726d0559f576) changes this.

> bpf: compute scalar evolution expressions for loops
TL;DR: The new need_scev bool in struct bpf_insn_aux_data may grow it from 208
to 216 bytes, about 8MB more for a 1M-insn program; a bitfield would avoid
that. Also lacks a comment.

Does this new bool grow struct bpf_insn_aux_data?
Before this patch, the ten bools after 'u32 seen', plus 'u8 alu_state' and
the u8 fastcall bitfield byte, filled exactly 12 bytes, so 'unsigned int
orig_idx' followed them with no padding. With one more bool, orig_idx and
every field after it move forward by 4 bytes, and because the trailing
'struct bpf_loop *loop' needs 8-byte alignment, the struct goes from 208 to
216 bytes on x86_64 (orig_idx moves from offset 136 to 140).
bpf_check() allocates this struct once per instruction:
__vmalloc(array_size(sizeof(struct bpf_insn_aux_data), len))
and adjust_insn_aux_data() memmoves it on every patch, so a 1M instruction
program uses about 8MB more memory. Nothing later in the series
(71f4568a6476..726d0559f576) touches the struct again, so the growth
remains.
There is room that would cost nothing: a 2-byte hole after 'u16
stack_ptrs', and 25 unused bits in the 'u32 jmp_point:1 ... jump_target:1'
word. That word holds the other flags set once in the pre-pass, such as
prune_point, and need_scev is also set only once, by mark_latches(). Would
'u32 need_scev:1;' there keep the struct at its current size?
This isn't a bug, but this is also the only member in this block without a
comment. Could one be added saying that the flag marks loop headers,
latches and in-loop exit sources where SCEVs are materialized, and that it
also forces a basic-block split in compute_scev_for_loop()?

The changelog says "Branch (eq/neq) checks do not take into account base/step
yet." Is that accurate for this patch?
is_scalar_branch_taken() ends by calling simulate_both_branches_taken(). That
function runs regs_refine_cond_op() and reg_bounds_sync() on copies of the
registers, and treats range_bounds_violation() as proof that a branch is dead.
reg_bounds_sync() now ends with __update_bounds_from_step(), and
cnum64_intersect_linear() returns CNUM64_EMPTY when the refined range holds no
point of base + step * k.
For example, take r1 in [0, 30] with step=3, base=0 (say from r0 *= 3 with r0
in [0, 10]), followed by:
if r1 == 4 goto L
The tnum and min/max checks cannot decide this. In
simulate_both_branches_taken() the true branch refines r64 to [4, 4], and then
in cnum64_intersect_linear():
d = imod(base - imod(smin, step), step); /* imod(0 - 1, 3) == 2 */
if ((u64)smax - (u64)smin < d) /* 0 < 2 */
return CNUM64_EMPTY;
So the JEQ branch is treated as dead (pred = 0) purely because of
base/step. JNE behaves the same way, and JNE against a range edge now snaps
the bound onto the line ([0, 29] becomes [0, 27]).
This looks sound as long as base/step are sound, but it is a real change to
branch pruning, and mark_chain_precision() is called on the compared registers
whenever pred >= 0. Should the changelog describe this instead of saying
eq/neq branches ignore base/step?

^^^^^^^^^^
This isn't a bug, but is reg_umin() the right function to name here? The
array traversal logic isn't part of this patch.
It is added later in the series by b312df27df3b ("bpf: varying offset access
support for PTR_TO_BTF_ID pointers"), and that code starts from the signed
minimum rather than reg_umin():
if (check_add_overflow(reg_smin(reg), (s64)_off, &min_off) || ...
cnum64_intersect_linear() also snaps the signed bounds (cnum64_smin() and
cnum64_smax()). For ranges with negative values, reg_umin() is not on the
line at all. For example, [-5, 7] with step=3, base=1 has umin 0, and
0 mod 3 != 1.
The claim that step+base "*must* be in sync with r64" also does not seem to
hold for signed-wrapping ranges, since cnum64_intersect_linear() returns those
unchanged when cnum64_srange_overflow() is true.
Could the comment refer to reg_smin() and the smin/smax snapping instead?

TL;DR:
- Loop widening may turn stack accesses variable-offset, so programs that
loaded before (dynptr loops, pointer spills) could be rejected until a later
patch fixes it
- nit: __FUNCTION__ vs __func__

Can widening here break stack accesses that used to verify?
bpf_compute_loop_iters() accepts a linear or (any ...) register based only on
its SCEV shape and register type. It does not look at how the loop uses the
register. If the register is used to build a stack address (r2 = r10;
r2 += -16; r2 += r7), widening turns constant-offset stack accesses into
variable-offset ones, and that is handled less precisely in the main pass:
- A variable-offset fill of a spilled pointer ends up in
mark_reg_stack_read(), which falls back to mark_reg_unknown(), so the
pointer becomes a scalar.
- A variable-offset spill marks the slots STACK_MISC, so the stored value
is lost.
- dynptr, iterator, irq and res_spin_lock stack objects go through
stack_slot_obj_get_spi(), which rejects a non-constant var_off with
"has to be at a constant offset".
For example:
*(u64 *)(r10 - 16) = r1;
*(u64 *)(r10 - 8) = r1;
r7 = 0;
r8 = 0;
1: r2 = r10;
r2 += -16;
r2 += r7;
r3 = *(u64 *)(r2 + 0);
r0 = *(u32 *)(r3 + 0);
if r8 != 0 goto 2f;
r7 = 8;
2: r8 += 1;
if r8 < 2 goto 1b;
Here r8 is (linear r8 1) and r7 is (any r7 8), so r7 is widened to {0,8}.
The fill through r2 now has a variable offset and yields a scalar, and the
load through r3 is rejected. Before this patch each iteration was explored
with a constant r7 and the program verified.
The same happens with a C loop such as:
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++)
bpf_dynptr_from_xdp(ctx, 0, &dptrs[i]);
which now fails with "dynptr has to be at a constant offset". Spilling
pointers through a widened stack pointer fails in the same way.
A later patch in the series, 42d577fd54e2 ("bpf: avoid widening registers
that hinder exact stack-slot tracking"), adds store_base_regs and makes
bpf_compute_loop_iters() refuse to widen such registers. Until then, programs
that loaded before are rejected. Should that check be part of this patch?

this isn't a bug, but should __FUNCTION__ be __func__ here? checkpatch
flags the gcc specific spelling, and the other verifier_bug() callers in
verifier.c use __func__.

bpf: avoid widening registers that hinder exact stack-slot tracking
This commit adds logic to avoid widening registers used by stack-accessing
instructions during SCEV-based loop analysis. This prevents replacing
constant-offset stack accesses with varying-offset accesses, preserving
verifier precision for spills, fills, and calls requiring fixed stack
offsets.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this code overflow the bitmask into callee-saved registers when a
kfunc takes arguments on the stack?
bpf_get_call_summary() returns the total number of arguments in
cs.arg_slot_cnt, which can exceed 5 (MAX_BPF_FUNC_REG_ARGS) for kfuncs
that accept stack arguments.
Since GENMASK(BPF_REG_1 + n - 1, BPF_REG_1) does not cap 'n', an 'n'
greater than 5 will set bits for callee-saved registers (R6-R10).
If one of these unrelated registers happens to hold a stack pointer,
collect_store_base_regs() might erroneously record it as a base register
for the call. This could falsely prevent SCEV from widening unrelated
loops, causing the verifier to unnecessarily unroll the loop and
potentially hit complexity limits.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this loop miss dynptrs that are passed on the stack?
Because fn->arg_type is strictly bounded to 5 elements, this iteration
will skip checking a dynptr if it is passed as a 6th argument (or later)
on the stack.
If missed, collect_store_base_regs() fails to record the base registers,
allowing the SCEV pass to widen the stack pointer and turn its constant
offset into a variable range. The verifier will then reject the dynptr
call because it strictly enforces a constant offset.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this check skip BPF module iterators?
By returning false if insn->off != 0, this explicitly ignores any kfuncs
exposed by BPF modules. Modules can provide their own iterators (like
bpf_iter_testmod_seq_new with KF_ITER_NEW).
Similar to the dynptr issue above, skipping these iterators means the
base registers won't be recorded. This causes the stack pointer to be
widened and leads to valid programs utilizing module iterators being
falsely rejected by the verifier.

selftests/bpf: tests for register base/step state pruning
This commit adds tests for base/step reasoning in range_within(), including
tests like step_prune_hit_multiple and step_prune_miss_non_multiple.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this selftest fail verification due to leaking a stack pointer?
It appears that r0 is assigned a stack address (r0 = r10; r0 += r6;), but is
not reset to a valid scalar value before the exit instruction. As a
SEC("socket") program, the verifier requires r0 to be a valid scalar upon
exit, and returning a pointer to the stack will cause the verifier to reject
the program with an 'R0 leaks addr' error.
Since this test is marked with __success, wouldn't this verifier rejection
cause the test case to fail? Should r0 be reset (e.g., r0 = 0;) before exit,
similar to how it is done in step_prune_miss_non_multiple()?

This is a valid point.
I should OR live[subprog_entry].in with BTF type mask.

Valid point.
Should use ARG_SCALAR, can also add ARG_PTR_TO_ARENA.

Kind of. Sort of.
There is no explicit handling in is_scalar_branch_taken(),
as well as it is not wired for pointers.
I didn't think through if simulate_both_branches_taken()
is sufficient or some explicit rules is_scalar_branch_taken()
might be of use as well.

Yes, this should be reg_smin().

This is a pre-existing bug.
I think the correct fix here is to always treat flexible array tails
access as un-trusted, varying offset or not.

I don't think this can happen.
reg->var_off.value is bound by BPF_MAX_VAR_OFF.
`off` comes from 16-bit instruction offset.
Plus there is a check:
check_add_overflow(reg_smin(reg), off, &min_off)
just before.

Eduard,
the series is in bpf-next, so all 32-bit builds with BPF_SYSCALL=y
are broken there now. Pls send a follow up asap.
Every u64 '/' and the '%' in compute_max_iters() need div64_u64()
and div64_u64_rem().
The rest looks fine. base/step are u16 and imod() uses div_s64_rem().
