Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.2 22/53] bpf, docs: Fix modulo zero, division by zero, overflow, and underflow
Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2023 09:44:14 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230226144446.824580-22-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230226144446.824580-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Dave Thaler <dthaler@microsoft.com>

[ Upstream commit 0eb9d19e2201068260e439a5c96dc85f9f3722a2 ]

Fix modulo zero, division by zero, overflow, and underflow. Also clarify how
a negative immediate value is used in unsigned division.

 ========  =====  ==========================================================
 
+Underflow and overflow are allowed during arithmetic operations, meaning
+the 64-bit or 32-bit value will wrap. If eBPF program execution would
+result in division by zero, the destination register is instead set to zero.
+If execution would result in modulo by zero, for ``BPF_ALU64`` the value of
+the destination register is unchanged whereas for ``BPF_ALU`` the upper
+32 bits of the destination register are zeroed.
+
 ``BPF_ADD | BPF_X | BPF_ALU`` means::
 
   dst_reg = (u32) dst_reg + (u32) src_reg;

+Also note that the division and modulo operations are unsigned. Thus, for
+``BPF_ALU``, 'imm' is first interpreted as an unsigned 32-bit value, whereas
+for ``BPF_ALU64``, 'imm' is first sign extended to 64 bits and the result
+interpreted as an unsigned 64-bit value. There are no instructions for
+signed division or modulo.
