Subject: [PATCH bpf v2 0/2] Fix for raw_tp PTR_MAYBE_NULL unmarking
Date: Thu,  5 Dec 2024 14:31:50 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241205223152.2434683-1-memxor@gmail.com> (raw)

A production BPF program had the following code produced by LLVM.

r0 = 1024;
r1 = ...; // r1 = trusted_or_null_(id=1)
r3 = r1;  // r3 = trusted_or_null_(id=1) r1 = trusted_or_null_(id=1)
r3 += r0; // r3 = trusted_or_null_(id=1, off=1024)
if r1 == 0 goto pc+X;

After cb4158ce8ec8 ("bpf: Mark raw_tp arguments with PTR_MAYBE_NULL"),
the production BPF program began throwing a warning in the verifier
because for the code above, when unmarking null mark from r1, the
verifier will notice another register r3 with same id but off != 0,
which is unexpected, since offset modification on PTR_MAYBE_NULL is not
permitted, but the aforementioned commit relaxed that restriction to
preserve compatibility with non-NULL raw_tp args.

Provide a fix to suppress the warning for raw_tp args. We will follow up
with a more generic fix to handle such patterns for all pointer types in
the verifier, which currently involves playing whack-a-mole with
suppressing such LLVM optimizations and reworking BPF programs to avoid
verifier errors.

Changelog:
----------
v1 -> v2
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20241204024154.21386-1-memxor@gmail.com

 * Fix eager unmarking bug (Eduard)
 * Generalize approach, always unmark NULL when off == 0 is checked
 * Make NULL check noop if operand has off != 0
 * Do not reset id when treating as noop
 * Trim comment (Alexei)
 * Adjust selftests
