Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 1/2] bpf: fix arg tracking for imprecise/multi-offset BPF_ST/STX
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 14:58:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413-stacklive-fixes-v2-1-ff91c4f8d273@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260413-stacklive-fixes-v2-0-ff91c4f8d273@gmail.com>

BPF_STX through ARG_IMPRECISE dst should be recognized as a local
spill and join at_stack with the written value. For example,
consider the following situation:

   // r1 = ARG_IMPRECISE{mask=BIT(0)|BIT(1)}
   *(u64 *)(r1 + 0) = r8

Here the analysis should produce an equivalent of

  at_stack[*] = join(old, r8)

BPF_ST through multi-offset or imprecise dst should join at_stack with
none instead of overwriting the slots. For example, consider the
following situation:

   // r1 = ARG_IMPRECISE{mask=BIT(0)|BIT(1)}
   *(u64 *)(r1 + 0) = 0

Here the analysis should produce an equivalent of

  at_stack[*r1] = join(old, none).

Move the definition of the clear_overlapping_stack_slots() in order to
have __arg_track_join() visible. Remove the OFF_IMPRECISE constant to
avoid having two ways to express imprecise offset. Only
'offset-imprecise {frame=N, cnt=0}' remains.
