[PATCH v2 2/2] bpf: Fix handling of XADD on BTF memory

Jann Horn

check_xadd() can cause check_ptr_to_btf_access() to be executed with
atype==BPF_READ and value_regno==-1 (meaning "just check whether the access
is okay, don't tell me what type it will result in").
Handle that case properly and skip writing type information, instead of
indexing into the registers at index -1 and writing into out-of-bounds
memory.

Note that at least at the moment, you can't actually write through a BTF
pointer, so check_xadd() will reject the program after calling
check_ptr_to_btf_access with atype==BPF_WRITE; but that's after the
verifier has already corrupted memory.

This patch assumes that BTF pointers are not available in unprivileged
programs.
