[PATCH bpf-next v7 05/24] bpf/verifier: allow kfunc to return an allocated mem

Benjamin Tissoires
2022-07-21T15:43:05Z

For drivers (outside of network), the incoming data is not statically
defined in a struct. Most of the time the data buffer is kzalloc-ed
and thus we can not rely on eBPF and BTF to explore the data.

This commit allows to return an arbitrary memory, previously allocated by
the driver.
An interesting extra point is that the kfunc can mark the exported
memory region as read only or read/write.

So, when a kfunc is not returning a pointer to a struct but to a plain
type, we can consider it is a valid allocated memory assuming that:
- one of the arguments is either called rdonly_buf_size or
rdwr_buf_size
- and this argument is a const from the caller point of view

We can then use this parameter as the size of the allocated memory.

The memory is either read-only or read-write based on the name
of the size parameter.

changes in v7:
- ensures btf_type_is_struct_ptr() checks for a ptr first
(squashed from next commit)
- remove multiple_ref_obj_id need
- use btf_type_skip_modifiers instead of manually doing it in
btf_type_is_struct_ptr()
- s/strncmp/strcmp/ in btf_is_kfunc_arg_mem_size()
- check for tnum_is_const when retrieving the size value
- have only one check for "Ensure only one argument is referenced
PTR_TO_BTF_ID"
- add some more context to the commit message

changes in v6:
- code review from Kartikeya:
- remove comment change that had no reasons to be
- remove handling of PTR_TO_MEM with kfunc releases
- introduce struct bpf_kfunc_arg_meta
- do rdonly/rdwr_buf_size check in btf_check_kfunc_arg_match
- reverted most of the changes in verifier.c
- make sure kfunc acquire is using a struct pointer, not just a plain
pointer
- also forward ref_obj_id to PTR_TO_MEM in kfunc to not use after free
the allocated memory

changes in v5:
- updated PTR_TO_MEM comment in btf.c to match upstream
- make it read-only or read-write based on the name of size

new in v4

change btf.h

fix allow kfunc to return an allocated mem
