bpf: Refactor ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR checks into process_dynptr_func

ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR is akin to ARG_PTR_TO_TIMER, ARG_PTR_TO_KPTR, where
the underlying register type is subjected to more special checks to
determine the type of object represented by the pointer and its state
consistency.

Move dynptr checks to their own 'process_dynptr_func' function so that
is consistent and in-line with existing code. This also makes it easier
to reuse this code for kfunc handling.

Then, reuse this consolidated function in kfunc dynptr handling too.
Note that for kfuncs, the arg_type constraint of DYNPTR_TYPE_LOCAL has
been lifted.

bpf: Do not zero-extend kfunc return values

In BPF all global functions, and BPF helpers return a 64-bit
value. For kfunc calls, this is not the case, and they can return
e.g. 32-bit values.

The return register R0 for kfuncs calls can therefore be marked as
subreg_def != DEF_NOT_SUBREG. In general, if a register is marked with
subreg_def != DEF_NOT_SUBREG, some archs (where bpf_jit_needs_zext()
returns true) require the verifier to insert explicit zero-extension
instructions.

For kfuncs calls, however, the caller should do sign/zero extension
for return values. In other words, the compiler is responsible to
insert proper instructions, not the verifier.

An example, provided by Yonghong Song:

$ cat t.c
extern unsigned foo(void);
unsigned bar1(void) {
return foo();
}
unsigned bar2(void) {
if (foo()) return 10; else return 20;
}

$ clang -target bpf -mcpu=v3 -O2 -c t.c && llvm-objdump -d t.o
t.o: file format elf64-bpf

Disassembly of section .text:

0000000000000000 <bar1>:
0: 85 10 00 00 ff ff ff ff call -0x1
1: 95 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 exit

0000000000000010 <bar2>:
2: 85 10 00 00 ff ff ff ff call -0x1
3: bc 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 w1 = w0
4: b4 00 00 00 14 00 00 00 w0 = 0x14
5: 16 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 if w1 == 0x0 goto +0x1 <LBB1_2>
6: b4 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 w0 = 0xa

0000000000000038 <LBB1_2>:
7: 95 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 exit

If the return value of 'foo()' is used in the BPF program, the proper
zero-extension will be done.

Currently, the verifier correctly marks, say, a 32-bit return value as
subreg_def != DEF_NOT_SUBREG, but will fail performing the actual
zero-extension, due to a verifier bug in
opt_subreg_zext_lo32_rnd_hi32(). load_reg is not properly set to R0,
and the following path will be taken:

if (WARN_ON(load_reg == -1)) {
verbose(env, "verifier bug. zext_dst is set, but no reg is defined\n");
return -EFAULT;
}

A longer discussion from v1 can be found in the link below.

Correct the verifier by avoiding doing explicit zero-extension of R0
for kfunc calls. Note that R0 will still be marked as a sub-register
for return values smaller than 64-bit.

bpf: remove unnecessary prune and jump points

Don't mark some instructions as jump points when there are actually no
jumps and instructions are just processed sequentially. Such case is
handled naturally by precision backtracking logic without the need to
update jump history. See get_prev_insn_idx(). It goes back linearly by
one instruction, unless current top of jmp_history is pointing to
current instruction. In such case we use `st->jmp_history[cnt - 1].prev_idx`
to find instruction from which we jumped to the current instruction
non-linearly.

Also remove both jump and prune point marking for instruction right
after unconditional jumps, as program flow can get to the instruction
right after unconditional jump instruction only if there is a jump to
that instruction from somewhere else in the program. In such case we'll
mark such instruction as prune/jump point because it's a destination of
a jump.

This change has no changes in terms of number of instructions or states
processes across Cilium and selftests programs.

bpf: mostly decouple jump history management from is_state_visited()

Jump history updating and state equivalence checks are conceptually
independent, so move push_jmp_history() out of is_state_visited(). Also
make a decision whether to perform state equivalence checks or not one
layer higher in do_check(), keeping is_state_visited() unconditionally
performing state checks.

push_jmp_history() should be performed after state checks. There is just
one small non-uniformity. When is_state_visited() finds already
validated equivalent state, it propagates precision marks to current
state's parent chain. For this to work correctly, jump history has to be
updated, so is_state_visited() is doing that internally.

But if no equivalent verified state is found, jump history has to be
updated in a newly cloned child state, so is_jmp_point()
+ push_jmp_history() is performed after is_state_visited() exited with
zero result, which means "proceed with validation".

This change has no functional changes. It's not strictly necessary, but
feels right to decouple these two processes.

bpf: decouple prune and jump points

BPF verifier marks some instructions as prune points. Currently these
prune points serve two purposes.

It's a point where verifier tries to find previously verified state and
check current state's equivalence to short circuit verification for
current code path.

But also currently it's a point where jump history, used for precision
backtracking, is updated. This is done so that non-linear flow of
execution could be properly backtracked.

Such coupling is coincidental and unnecessary. Some prune points are not
part of some non-linear jump path, so don't need update of jump history.
On the other hand, not all instructions which have to be recorded in
jump history necessarily are good prune points.

This patch splits prune and jump points into independent flags.
Currently all prune points are marked as jump points to minimize amount
of changes in this patch, but next patch will perform some optimization
of prune vs jmp point placement.

No functional changes are intended.

There, a BTF record is created for any type containing a spin_lock or
any next-gen datastructure node/head.

Currently, for non-MAP_VALUE types, reg_btf_record will only search for
a record using struct_meta_tab if the reg->type exactly matches
(PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC). This exact match is too strict: an
"allocated obj" type - returned from bpf_obj_new - might pick up other
flags while working its way through the program.

Loosen the check to be exact for base_type and just use MEM_ALLOC mask
for type_flag.

This patch is marked Fixes as the original intent of reg_btf_record was
unlikely to have been to fail finding btf_record for valid alloc obj
types with additional flags, some of which (e.g. PTR_UNTRUSTED)
are valid register type states for alloc obj independent of this series.
However, I didn't find a specific broken repro case outside of this
series' added functionality, so it's possible that nothing was
triggering this logic error before.

bpf: Handle MEM_RCU type properly

Commit 9bb00b2895cb ("bpf: Add kfunc bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock()")
introduced MEM_RCU and bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock() support. In that
commit, a rcu pointer is tagged with both MEM_RCU and PTR_TRUSTED
so that it can be passed into kfuncs or helpers as an argument.

Martin raised a good question in [1] such that the rcu pointer,
although being able to accessing the object, might have reference
count of 0. This might cause a problem if the rcu pointer is passed
to a kfunc which expects trusted arguments where ref count should
be greater than 0.

This patch makes the following changes related to MEM_RCU pointer:
- MEM_RCU pointer might be NULL (PTR_MAYBE_NULL).
- Introduce KF_RCU so MEM_RCU ptr can be acquired with
a KF_RCU tagged kfunc which assumes ref count of rcu ptr
could be zero.
- For mem access 'b = ptr->a', say 'ptr' is a MEM_RCU ptr, and
'a' is tagged with __rcu as well. Let us mark 'b' as
MEM_RCU | PTR_MAYBE_NULL.

bpf: Fix release_on_unlock release logic for multiple refs

Consider a verifier state with three acquired references, all with
release_on_unlock = true:

idx 0 1 2
state->refs = [2 4 6]

(with 2, 4, and 6 being the ref ids).

When bpf_spin_unlock is called, process_spin_lock will loop through all
acquired_refs and, for each ref, if it's release_on_unlock, calls
release_reference on it. That function in turn calls
release_reference_state, which removes the reference from state->refs by
swapping the reference state with the last reference state in
refs array and decrements acquired_refs count.

process_spin_lock's loop logic, which is essentially:

for (i = 0; i < state->acquired_refs; i++) {
if (!state->refs[i].release_on_unlock)
continue;
release_reference(state->refs[i].id);
}

will fail to release release_on_unlock references which are swapped from
the end. Running this logic on our example demonstrates:

state->refs = [2 4 6] (start of idx=0 iter)
release state->refs[0] by swapping w/ state->refs[2]

state->refs = [6 4] (start of idx=1)
release state->refs[1], no need to swap as it's the last idx

state->refs = [6] (start of idx=2, loop terminates)

ref_id 6 should have been removed but was skipped.

Fix this by looping from back-to-front, which results in refs that are
candidates for removal being swapped with refs which have already been
examined and kept.

If we modify our initial example such that ref 6 is replaced with ref 7,
which is _not_ release_on_unlock, and loop from the back, we'd see:

state->refs = [2 4 7] (start of idx=2)

state->refs = [2 4 7] (start of idx=1)

state->refs = [2 7] (start of idx=0, refs 7 and 4 swapped)

state->refs = [7] (after idx=0, 7 and 2 swapped, loop terminates)

struct task_struct {
...
struct task_struct *last_wakee;
struct task_struct __rcu *real_parent;
...
};

Let us say prog does 'task = bpf_get_current_task_btf()' to get a
'task' pointer. The basic rules are:
- 'real_parent = task->real_parent' should be inside bpf_rcu_read_lock
region. This is to simulate rcu_dereference() operation. The
'real_parent' is marked as MEM_RCU only if (1). task->real_parent is
inside bpf_rcu_read_lock region, and (2). task is a trusted ptr. So
MEM_RCU marked ptr can be 'trusted' inside the bpf_rcu_read_lock region.
- 'last_wakee = real_parent->last_wakee' should be inside bpf_rcu_read_lock
region since it tries to access rcu protected memory.
- the ptr 'last_wakee' will be marked as PTR_UNTRUSTED since in general
it is not clear whether the object pointed by 'last_wakee' is valid or
not even inside bpf_rcu_read_lock region.

The verifier will reset all rcu pointer register states to untrusted
at bpf_rcu_read_unlock() kfunc call site, so any such rcu pointer
won't be trusted any more outside the bpf_rcu_read_lock() region.

The current implementation does not support nested rcu read lock
region in the prog.

bpf/verifier: Use kmalloc_size_roundup() to match ksize() usage

Most allocation sites in the kernel want an explicitly sized allocation
(and not "more"), and that dynamic runtime analysis tools (e.g. KASAN,
UBSAN_BOUNDS, FORTIFY_SOURCE, etc) are looking for precise bounds checking
(i.e. not something that is rounded up). A tiny handful of allocations
were doing an implicit alloc/realloc loop that actually depended on
ksize(), and didn't actually always call realloc. This has created a
long series of bugs and problems over many years related to the runtime
bounds checking, so these callers are finally being adjusted to _not_
depend on the ksize() side-effect, by doing one of several things:

- tracking the allocation size precisely and just never calling ksize()
at all [1].

- always calling realloc and not using ksize() at all. (This solution
ends up actually be a subset of the next solution.)

- using kmalloc_size_roundup() to explicitly round up the desired
allocation size immediately [2].

The bpf/verifier case is this another of this latter case, and is the
last outstanding case to be fixed in the kernel.

Because some of the dynamic bounds checking depends on the size being an
_argument_ to an allocator function (i.e. see the __alloc_size attribute),
the ksize() users are rare, and it could waste local variables, it
was been deemed better to explicitly separate the rounding up from the
allocation itself [3].

Round up allocations with kmalloc_size_roundup() so that the verifier's
use of ksize() is always accurate.

bpf: Add a kfunc for generic type cast

Implement bpf_rdonly_cast() which tries to cast the object
to a specified type. This tries to support use case like below:
#define skb_shinfo(SKB) ((struct skb_shared_info *)(skb_end_pointer(SKB)))
where skb_end_pointer(SKB) is a 'unsigned char *' and needs to
be casted to 'struct skb_shared_info *'.

The signature of bpf_rdonly_cast() looks like
void *bpf_rdonly_cast(void *obj, __u32 btf_id)
The function returns the same 'obj' but with PTR_TO_BTF_ID with
btf_id. The verifier will ensure btf_id being a struct type.

Since the supported type cast may not reflect what the 'obj'
represents, the returned btf_id is marked as PTR_UNTRUSTED, so
the return value and subsequent pointer chasing cannot be
used as helper/kfunc arguments.

bpf: Allow trusted pointers to be passed to KF_TRUSTED_ARGS kfuncs

Kfuncs currently support specifying the KF_TRUSTED_ARGS flag to signal
to the verifier that it should enforce that a BPF program passes it a
"safe", trusted pointer. Currently, "safe" means that the pointer is
either PTR_TO_CTX, or is refcounted. There may be cases, however, where
the kernel passes a BPF program a safe / trusted pointer to an object
that the BPF program wishes to use as a kptr, but because the object
does not yet have a ref_obj_id from the perspective of the verifier, the
program would be unable to pass it to a KF_ACQUIRE | KF_TRUSTED_ARGS
kfunc.

The solution is to expand the set of pointers that are considered
trusted according to KF_TRUSTED_ARGS, so that programs can invoke kfuncs
with these pointers without getting rejected by the verifier.

There is already a PTR_UNTRUSTED flag that is set in some scenarios,
such as when a BPF program reads a kptr directly from a map
without performing a bpf_kptr_xchg() call. These pointers of course can
and should be rejected by the verifier. Unfortunately, however,
PTR_UNTRUSTED does not cover all the cases for safety that need to
be addressed to adequately protect kfuncs. Specifically, pointers
obtained by a BPF program "walking" a struct are _not_ considered
PTR_UNTRUSTED according to BPF. For example, say that we were to add a
kfunc called bpf_task_acquire(), with KF_ACQUIRE | KF_TRUSTED_ARGS, to
acquire a struct task_struct *. If we only used PTR_UNTRUSTED to signal
that a task was unsafe to pass to a kfunc, the verifier would mistakenly
allow the following unsafe BPF program to be loaded:

SEC("tp_btf/task_newtask")
int BPF_PROG(unsafe_acquire_task,
struct task_struct *task,
u64 clone_flags)
{
struct task_struct *acquired, *nested;

nested = task->last_wakee;

/* Would not be rejected by the verifier. */
acquired = bpf_task_acquire(nested);
if (!acquired)
return 0;

bpf_task_release(acquired);
return 0;
}

To address this, this patch defines a new type flag called PTR_TRUSTED
which tracks whether a PTR_TO_BTF_ID pointer is safe to pass to a
KF_TRUSTED_ARGS kfunc or a BPF helper function. PTR_TRUSTED pointers are
passed directly from the kernel as a tracepoint or struct_ops callback
argument. Any nested pointer that is obtained from walking a PTR_TRUSTED
pointer is no longer PTR_TRUSTED. From the example above, the struct
task_struct *task argument is PTR_TRUSTED, but the 'nested' pointer
obtained from 'task->last_wakee' is not PTR_TRUSTED.

A subsequent patch will add kfuncs for storing a task kfunc as a kptr,
and then another patch will add selftests to validate.

bpf: Allow multiple modifiers in reg_type_str() prefix

reg_type_str() in the verifier currently only allows a single register
type modifier to be present in the 'prefix' string which is eventually
stored in the env type_str_buf. This currently works fine because there
are no overlapping type modifiers, but once PTR_TRUSTED is added, that
will no longer be the case. This patch updates reg_type_str() to support
having multiple modifiers in the prefix string, and updates the size of
type_str_buf to be 128 bytes.

bpf: Add 'release on unlock' logic for bpf_list_push_{front,back}

This commit implements the delayed release logic for bpf_list_push_front
and bpf_list_push_back.

Once a node has been added to the list, it's pointer changes to
PTR_UNTRUSTED. However, it is only released once the lock protecting the
list is unlocked. For such PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC with PTR_UNTRUSTED
set but an active ref_obj_id, it is still permitted to read them as long
as the lock is held. Writing to them is not allowed.

This allows having read access to push items we no longer own until we
release the lock guarding the list, allowing a little more flexibility
when working with these APIs.

Note that enabling write support has fairly tricky interactions with
what happens inside the critical section. Just as an example, currently,
bpf_obj_drop is not permitted, but if it were, being able to write to
the PTR_UNTRUSTED pointer while the object gets released back to the
memory allocator would violate safety properties we wish to guarantee
(i.e. not crashing the kernel). The memory could be reused for a
different type in the BPF program or even in the kernel as it gets
eventually kfree'd.

Not enabling bpf_obj_drop inside the critical section would appear to
prevent all of the above, but that is more of an artifical limitation
right now. Since the write support is tangled with how we handle
potential aliasing of nodes inside the critical section that may or may
not be part of the list anymore, it has been deferred to a future patch.

bpf: Introduce single ownership BPF linked list API

Add a linked list API for use in BPF programs, where it expects
protection from the bpf_spin_lock in the same allocation as the
bpf_list_head. For now, only one bpf_spin_lock can be present hence that
is assumed to be the one protecting the bpf_list_head.

The following functions are added to kick things off:

// Add node to beginning of list
void bpf_list_push_front(struct bpf_list_head *head, struct bpf_list_node *node);

// Add node to end of list
void bpf_list_push_back(struct bpf_list_head *head, struct bpf_list_node *node);

// Remove node at beginning of list and return it
struct bpf_list_node *bpf_list_pop_front(struct bpf_list_head *head);

// Remove node at end of list and return it
struct bpf_list_node *bpf_list_pop_back(struct bpf_list_head *head);

The lock protecting the bpf_list_head needs to be taken for all
operations. The verifier ensures that the lock that needs to be taken is
always held, and only the correct lock is taken for these operations.
These checks are made statically by relying on the reg->id preserved for
registers pointing into regions having both bpf_spin_lock and the
objects protected by it. The comment over check_reg_allocation_locked in
this change describes the logic in detail.

Note that bpf_list_push_front and bpf_list_push_back are meant to
consume the object containing the node in the 1st argument, however that
specific mechanism is intended to not release the ref_obj_id directly
until the bpf_spin_unlock is called. In this commit, nothing is done,
but the next commit will be introducing logic to handle this case, so it
has been left as is for now.

bpf_list_pop_front and bpf_list_pop_back delete the first or last item
of the list respectively, and return pointer to the element at the
list_node offset. The user can then use container_of style macro to get
the actual entry type. The verifier however statically knows the actual
type, so the safety properties are still preserved.

With these additions, programs can now manage their own linked lists and
store their objects in them.
