commit 6715df8d5d24655b9fd368e904028112b54c7de1 upstream.

This commits updates the following functions to allow reads from
uninitialized stack locations when env-&gt;allow_uninit_stack option is
enabled:
- check_stack_read_fixed_off()
- check_stack_range_initialized(), called from:
  - check_stack_read_var_off()
  - check_helper_mem_access()

Such change allows to relax logic in stacksafe() to treat STACK_MISC
and STACK_INVALID in a same way and make the following stack slot
configurations equivalent:

  |  Cached state    |  Current state   |
  |   stack slot     |   stack slot     |
  |------------------+------------------|
  | STACK_INVALID or | STACK_INVALID or |
  | STACK_MISC       | STACK_SPILL   or |
  |                  | STACK_MISC    or |
  |                  | STACK_ZERO    or |
  |                  | STACK_DYNPTR     |

This leads to significant verification speed gains (see below).

The idea was suggested by Andrii Nakryiko [1] and initial patch was
created by Alexei Starovoitov [2].

Currently the env-&gt;allow_uninit_stack is allowed for programs loaded
by users with CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN capabilities.

A number of test cases from verifier/*.c were expecting uninitialized
stack access to be an error. These test cases were updated to execute
in unprivileged mode (thus preserving the tests).

The test progs/test_global_func10.c expected "invalid indirect read
from stack" error message because of the access to uninitialized
memory region. This error is no longer possible in privileged mode.
The test is updated to provoke an error "invalid indirect access to
stack" because of access to invalid stack address (such error is not
verified by progs/test_global_func*.c series of tests).

The following tests had to be removed because these can't be made
unprivileged:
- verifier/sock.c:
  - "sk_storage_get(map, skb-&gt;sk, &amp;stack_value, 1): partially init
  stack_value"
  BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS programs are not executed in unprivileged mode.
- verifier/var_off.c:
  - "indirect variable-offset stack access, max_off+size &gt; max_initialized"
  - "indirect variable-offset stack access, uninitialized"
  These tests verify that access to uninitialized stack values is
  detected when stack offset is not a constant. However, variable
  stack access is prohibited in unprivileged mode, thus these tests
  are no longer valid.

--------------------------  --------------------------  ----------  ----------  ----------------

Note: I limited selection by states_pct&lt;-30%.

Inspection of differences in pyperf600_bpf_loop behavior shows that
the following patch for the test removes almost all differences:

    - a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/pyperf.h
    + b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/pyperf.h
    @ -266,8 +266,8 @ int __on_event(struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args *ctx)
            }

            if (event-&gt;pthread_match || !pidData-&gt;use_tls) {
    -               void* frame_ptr;
    -               FrameData frame;
    +               void* frame_ptr = 0;
    +               FrameData frame = {};
                    Symbol sym = {};
                    int cur_cpu = bpf_get_smp_processor_id();

W/o this patch the difference comes from the following pattern
(for different variables):

    static bool get_frame_data(... FrameData *frame ...)
    {
        ...
        bpf_probe_read_user(&amp;frame-&gt;f_code, ...);
        if (!frame-&gt;f_code)
            return false;
        ...
        bpf_probe_read_user(&amp;frame-&gt;co_name, ...);
        if (frame-&gt;co_name)
            ...;
    }

    int __on_event(struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args *ctx)
    {
        FrameData frame;
        ...
        get_frame_data(... &amp;frame ...) // indirectly via a bpf_loop &amp; callback
        ...
    }

    SEC("raw_tracepoint/kfree_skb")
    int on_event(struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args* ctx)
    {
        ...
        ret |= __on_event(ctx);
        ret |= __on_event(ctx);
        ...
    }

With regards to value `frame-&gt;co_name` the following is important:
- Because of the conditional `if (!frame-&gt;f_code)` each call to
  __on_event() produces two states, one with `frame-&gt;co_name` marked
  as STACK_MISC, another with it as is (and marked STACK_INVALID on a
  first call).
- The call to bpf_probe_read_user() does not mark stack slots
  corresponding to `&amp;frame-&gt;co_name` as REG_LIVE_WRITTEN but it marks
  these slots as BPF_MISC, this happens because of the following loop
  in the check_helper_call():

	for (i = 0; i &lt; meta.access_size; i++) {
		err = check_mem_access(env, insn_idx, meta.regno, i, BPF_B,
				       BPF_WRITE, -1, false);
		if (err)
			return err;
	}

  Note the size of the write, it is a one byte write for each byte
  touched by a helper. The BPF_B write does not lead to write marks
  for the target stack slot.
- Which means that w/o this patch when second __on_event() call is
  verified `if (frame-&gt;co_name)` will propagate read marks first to a
  stack slot with STACK_MISC marks and second to a stack slot with
  STACK_INVALID marks and these states would be considered different.

<title>selftests/bpf: Add verifier test for PTR_TO_MEM spill</title>

commit 4237e9f4a96228ccc8a7abe5e4b30834323cd353 upstream.

Add a test to check that the verifier is able to recognize spilling of
PTR_TO_MEM registers, by reserving a ringbuf buffer, forcing the spill
of a pointer holding the buffer address to the stack, filling it back
in from the stack and writing to the memory area pointed by it.

The patch was partially contributed by CyberArk Software, Inc.

<title>bpf: track immediate values written to stack by BPF_ST instruction</title>

[ Upstream commit ecdf985d7615356b78241fdb159c091830ed0380 ]

For aligned stack writes using BPF_ST instruction track stored values
in a same way BPF_STX is handled, e.g. make sure that the following
commands produce similar verifier knowledge:

  fp[-8] = 42;             r1 = 42;
                       fp[-8] = r1;

This covers two cases:
 - non-null values written to stack are stored as spill of fake
   registers;
 - null values written to stack are stored as STACK_ZERO marks.

Previously both cases above used STACK_MISC marks instead.

Some verifier test cases relied on the old logic to obtain STACK_MISC
marks for some stack values. These test cases are updated in the same
commit to avoid failures during bisect.

commit 8f50f16ff39dd4e2d43d1548ca66925652f8aff7 upstream.

Add coverage to the verifier tests and tests for reading bpf_sock fields to
ensure that 32-bit, 16-bit, and 8-bit loads from dst_port field are allowed
only at intended offsets and produce expected values.

While 16-bit and 8-bit access to dst_port field is straight-forward, 32-bit
wide loads need be allowed and produce a zero-padded 16-bit value for
backward compatibility.

commit b4f894633fa14d7d46ba7676f950b90a401504bb upstream.

sk_lookup doesn't allow setting data_in for bpf_prog_run. This doesn't
play well with the verifier tests, since they always set a 64 byte
input buffer. Allow not running verifier tests by setting
bpf_test.runs to a negative value and don't run the ctx access case
for sk_lookup. We have dedicated ctx access tests so skipping here
doesn't reduce coverage.

commit b560b21f71eb4ef9dfc7c8ec1d0e4d7f9aa54b51 upstream.

This commit adds BPF verifier selftests that cover all corner cases by
packet boundary checks. Specifically, 8-byte packet reads are tested at
the beginning of data and at the beginning of data_meta, using all kinds
of boundary checks (all comparison operators: &lt;, &gt;, &lt;=, &gt;=; both
permutations of operands: data + length compared to end, end compared to
data + length). For each case there are three tests:

1. Length is just enough for an 8-byte read. Length is either 7 or 8,
   depending on the comparison.

2. Length is increased by 1 - should still pass the verifier. These
   cases are useful, because they failed before commit 2fa7d94afc1a
   ("bpf: Fix the off-by-two error in range markings").

3. Length is decreased by 1 - should be rejected by the verifier.

Some existing tests are just renamed to avoid duplication.

commit 2fa7d94afc1afbb4d702760c058dc2d7ed30f226 upstream.

The first commit cited below attempts to fix the off-by-one error that
appeared in some comparisons with an open range. Due to this error,
arithmetically equivalent pieces of code could get different verdicts
from the verifier, for example (pseudocode):

  // 1. Passes the verifier:
  if (data + 8 &gt; data_end)
      return early
  read *(u64 *)data, i.e. [data; data+7]

  // 2. Rejected by the verifier (should still pass):
  if (data + 7 &gt;= data_end)
      return early
  read *(u64 *)data, i.e. [data; data+7]

The attempted fix, however, shifts the range by one in a wrong
direction, so the bug not only remains, but also such piece of code
starts failing in the verifier:

  // 3. Rejected by the verifier, but the check is stricter than in #1.
  if (data + 8 &gt;= data_end)
      return early
  read *(u64 *)data, i.e. [data; data+7]

The change performed by that fix converted an off-by-one bug into
off-by-two. The second commit cited below added the BPF selftests
written to ensure than code chunks like #3 are rejected, however,
they should be accepted.

This commit fixes the off-by-two error by adjusting new_range in the
right direction and fixes the tests by changing the range into the
one that should actually fail.

Fixes: fb2a311a31d3 ("bpf: fix off by one for range markings with L{T, E} patterns")
Fixes: b37242c773b2 ("bpf: add test cases to bpf selftests to cover all access tests")
