[ Upstream commit 2658a1720a1944fbaeda937000ad2b3c3dfaf1bb ]

Fix an inconsistency between func_states_equal() and
collect_linked_regs():
- regsafe() uses check_ids() to verify that cached and current states
  have identical register id mapping.
- func_states_equal() calls regsafe() only for registers computed as
  live by compute_live_registers().
- clean_live_states() is supposed to remove dead registers from cached
  states, but it can skip states belonging to an iterator-based loop.
- collect_linked_regs() collects all registers sharing the same id,
  ignoring the marks computed by compute_live_registers().
  Linked registers are stored in the state's jump history.
- backtrack_insn() marks all linked registers for an instruction
  as precise whenever one of the linked registers is precise.

The above might lead to a scenario:
- There is an instruction I with register rY known to be dead at I.
- Instruction I is reached via two paths: first A, then B.
- On path A:
  - There is an id link between registers rX and rY.
  - Checkpoint C is created at I.
  - Linked register set {rX, rY} is saved to the jump history.
  - rX is marked as precise at I, causing both rX and rY
    to be marked precise at C.
- On path B:
  - There is no id link between registers rX and rY,
    otherwise register states are sub-states of those in C.
  - Because rY is dead at I, check_ids() returns true.
  - Current state is considered equal to checkpoint C,
    propagate_precision() propagates spurious precision
    mark for register rY along the path B.
  - Depending on a program, this might hit verifier_bug()
    in the backtrack_insn(), e.g. if rY ∈  [r1..r5]
    and backtrack_insn() spots a function call.

The reproducer program is in the next patch.
This was hit by sched_ext scx_lavd scheduler code.

Changes in tests:
- verifier_scalar_ids.c selftests need modification to preserve
  some registers as live for __msg() checks.
- exceptions_assert.c adjusted to match changes in the verifier log,
  R0 is dead after conditional instruction and thus does not get
  range.
- precise.c adjusted to match changes in the verifier log, register r9
  is dead after comparison and it's range is not important for test.

[ Upstream commit 6881af27f9ea0f5ca8f606f573ef5cc25ca31fe4 ]

Dmabuf name allocations can be less than DMA_BUF_NAME_LEN characters,
but bpf_probe_read_kernel always tries to read exactly that many bytes.
If a name is less than DMA_BUF_NAME_LEN characters,
bpf_probe_read_kernel will read past the end. bpf_probe_read_kernel_str
stops at the first NUL terminator so use it instead, like
iter_dmabuf_for_each already does.

commit 6cc73f35406cae1f053e984e8de40e6dc9681446 upstream.

Add a test to check that bpf_skb_check_mtu(BPF_MTU_CHK_SEGS) is
rejected (-EINVAL) if skb-&gt;transport_header is not set. The test
needs to lower the MTU of the loopback device. Thus, take this
opportunity to run the test in a netns by adding "ns_" to the test
name. The "serial_" prefix can then be removed.

<title>selftests/bpf: Fix selftest verif_scale_strobemeta failure with llvm22</title>
<updated>2026-01-23T10:21:23Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=3667af036eeadd3ae261d6007ea2aa4c99878d7b'/>
<id>urn:sha1:3667af036eeadd3ae261d6007ea2aa4c99878d7b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 4f8543b5f20f851cedbb23f8eade159871d84e2a upstream.

With latest llvm22, I hit the verif_scale_strobemeta selftest failure
below:
  $ ./test_progs -n 618
  libbpf: prog 'on_event': BPF program load failed: -E2BIG
  libbpf: prog 'on_event': -- BEGIN PROG LOAD LOG --
  BPF program is too large. Processed 1000001 insn
  verification time 7019091 usec
  stack depth 488
  processed 1000001 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 28 total_states 33927 peak_states 12813 mark_read 0
  -- END PROG LOAD LOG --
  libbpf: prog 'on_event': failed to load: -E2BIG
  libbpf: failed to load object 'strobemeta.bpf.o'
  scale_test:FAIL:expect_success unexpected error: -7 (errno 7)
  #618     verif_scale_strobemeta:FAIL

But if I increase the verificaiton insn limit from 1M to 10M, the above
test_progs run actually will succeed. The below is the result from veristat:
  $ ./veristat strobemeta.bpf.o
  Processing 'strobemeta.bpf.o'...
  File              Program   Verdict  Duration (us)    Insns  States  Program size  Jited size

  ----------------  --------  -------  -------------  -------  ------  ------------  ----------
  Done. Processed 1 files, 0 programs. Skipped 1 files, 0 programs.

Further debugging shows the llvm commit [1] is responsible for the verificaiton
failure as it tries to convert certain switch statement to if-condition. Such
change may cause different transformation compared to original switch statement.

In bpf program strobemeta.c case, the initial llvm ir for read_int_var() function is
  define internal void @read_int_var(ptr noundef %0, i64 noundef %1, ptr noundef %2,
      ptr noundef %3, ptr noundef %4) #2 !dbg !535 {
    %6 = alloca ptr, align 8
    %7 = alloca i64, align 8
    %8 = alloca ptr, align 8
    %9 = alloca ptr, align 8
    %10 = alloca ptr, align 8
    %11 = alloca ptr, align 8
    %12 = alloca i32, align 4
    ...
    %20 = icmp ne ptr %19, null, !dbg !561
    br i1 %20, label %22, label %21, !dbg !562

  21:                                               ; preds = %5
    store i32 1, ptr %12, align 4
    br label %48, !dbg !563

  22:
    %23 = load ptr, ptr %9, align 8, !dbg !564
    ...

  47:                                               ; preds = %38, %22
    store i32 0, ptr %12, align 4, !dbg !588
    br label %48, !dbg !588

  48:                                               ; preds = %47, %21
    call void @llvm.lifetime.end.p0(ptr %11) #4, !dbg !588
    %49 = load i32, ptr %12, align 4
    switch i32 %49, label %51 [
      i32 0, label %50
      i32 1, label %50
    ]

  50:                                               ; preds = %48, %48
    ret void, !dbg !589

  51:                                               ; preds = %48
    unreachable
  }

Note that the above 'switch' statement is added by clang frontend.
Without [1], the switch statement will survive until SelectionDag,
so the switch statement acts like a 'barrier' and prevents some
transformation involved with both 'before' and 'after' the switch statement.

But with [1], the switch statement will be removed during middle end
optimization and later middle end passes (esp. after inlining) have more
freedom to reorder the code.

The following is the related source code:

  static void *calc_location(struct strobe_value_loc *loc, void *tls_base):
        bpf_probe_read_user(&amp;tls_ptr, sizeof(void *), dtv);
        /* if pointer has (void *)-1 value, then TLS wasn't initialized yet */
        return tls_ptr &amp;&amp; tls_ptr != (void *)-1
                ? tls_ptr + tls_index.offset
                : NULL;

  In read_int_var() func, we have:
        void *location = calc_location(&amp;cfg-&gt;int_locs[idx], tls_base);
        if (!location)
                return;

        bpf_probe_read_user(value, sizeof(struct strobe_value_generic), location);
        ...

The static func calc_location() is called inside read_int_var(). The asm code
without [1]:
     77: .123....89 (85) call bpf_probe_read_user#112
     78: ........89 (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r10 -368)
     79: .1......89 (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r10 -8)
     80: .12.....89 (bf) r3 = r2
     81: .123....89 (0f) r3 += r1
     82: ..23....89 (07) r2 += 1
     83: ..23....89 (79) r4 = *(u64 *)(r10 -464)
     84: ..234...89 (a5) if r2 &lt; 0x2 goto pc+13
     85: ...34...89 (15) if r3 == 0x0 goto pc+12
     86: ...3....89 (bf) r1 = r10
     87: .1.3....89 (07) r1 += -400
     88: .1.3....89 (b4) w2 = 16
In this case, 'r2 &lt; 0x2' and 'r3 == 0x0' go to null 'locaiton' place,
so the verifier actually prefers to do verification first at 'r1 = r10' etc.

The asm code with [1]:
    119: .123....89 (85) call bpf_probe_read_user#112
    120: ........89 (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r10 -368)
    121: .1......89 (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r10 -8)
    122: .12.....89 (bf) r3 = r2
    123: .123....89 (0f) r3 += r1
    124: ..23....89 (07) r2 += -1
    125: ..23....89 (a5) if r2 &lt; 0xfffffffe goto pc+6
    126: ........89 (05) goto pc+17
    ...
    144: ........89 (b4) w1 = 0
    145: .1......89 (6b) *(u16 *)(r8 +80) = r1
In this case, if 'r2 &lt; 0xfffffffe' is true, the control will go to
non-null 'location' branch, so 'goto pc+17' will actually go to
null 'location' branch. This seems causing tremendous amount of
verificaiton state.

To fix the issue, rewrite the following code
  return tls_ptr &amp;&amp; tls_ptr != (void *)-1
                ? tls_ptr + tls_index.offset
                : NULL;
to if/then statement and hopefully these explicit if/then statements
are sticky during middle-end optimizations.

Test with llvm20 and llvm21 as well and all strobemeta related selftests
are passed.

[ Upstream commit ae24fc8a16b0481ea8c5acbc66453c49ec0431c4 ]

Currently, test_perf_branches_no_hw() relies on the busy loop within
test_perf_branches_common() being slow enough to allow at least one
perf event sample tick to occur before starting to tear down the
backing perf event BPF program. With a relatively small fixed
iteration count of 1,000,000, this is not guaranteed on modern fast
CPUs, resulting in the test run to subsequently fail with the
following:

bpf_testmod.ko is already unloaded.

check_bad_sample:FAIL:output not valid no valid sample from prog
Summary: 0/1 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 1 FAILED
Successfully unloaded bpf_testmod.ko.

On a modern CPU (i.e. one with a 3.5 GHz clock rate), executing 1
million increments of a volatile integer can take significantly less
than 1 millisecond. If the spin loop and detachment of the perf event
BPF program elapses before the first 1 ms sampling interval elapses,
the perf event will never end up firing. Fix this by bumping the loop
iteration counter a little within test_perf_branches_common(), along
with ensuring adding another loop termination condition which is
directly influenced by the backing perf event BPF program
executing. Notably, a concious decision was made to not adjust the
sample_freq value as that is just not a reliable way to go about
fixing the problem. It effectively still leaves the race window open.

A test case for a situation when widen_imprecise_scalars() is called
with old-&gt;allocated_stack &gt; cur-&gt;allocated_stack. Test structure:

    def widening_stack_size_bug():
      r1 = 0
      for r6 in 0..1:
        iterator_with_diff_stack_depth(r1)
        r1 = 42

    def iterator_with_diff_stack_depth(r1):
      if r1 != 42:
        use 128 bytes of stack
      iterator based loop

iterator_with_diff_stack_depth() is verified with r1 == 0 first and
r1 == 42 next. Causing stack usage of 128 bytes on a first visit and 8
bytes on a second. Such arrangement triggered a KASAN error in
widen_imprecise_scalars().

Adding test that attaches kprobe/kretprobe multi and verifies the
ORC stacktrace matches expected functions.

Adding bpf_testmod_stacktrace_test function to bpf_testmod kernel
module which is called through several functions so we get reliable
call path for stacktrace.

The test is only for ORC unwinder to keep it simple.

Rename bpf_stream_vprintk() to bpf_stream_vprintk_impl().

This makes bpf_stream_vprintk() follow the already established "_impl"
suffix-based naming convention for kfuncs with the bpf_prog_aux
argument provided by the verifier implicitly. This convention will be
taken advantage of with the upcoming KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS feature to
preserve backwards compatibility to BPF programs.
