2023-06-13bpf: Verify scalar ids mapping in regsafe() using check_ids()Eduard Zingerman1-6/+11
Make sure that the following unsafe example is rejected by verifier: 1: r9 = ... some pointer with range X ... 2: r6 = ... unbound scalar ID=a ... 3: r7 = ... unbound scalar ID=b ... 4: if (r6 > r7) goto +1 5: r6 = r7 6: if (r6 > X) goto ... --- checkpoint --- 7: r9 += r7 8: *(u64 *)r9 = Y This example is unsafe because not all execution paths verify r7 range. Because of the jump at (4) the verifier would arrive at (6) in two states: I. r6{.id=b}, r7{.id=b} via path 1-6; II. r6{.id=a}, r7{.id=b} via path 1-4, 6. Currently regsafe() does not call check_ids() for scalar registers, thus from POV of regsafe() states (I) and (II) are identical. If the path 1-6 is taken by verifier first, and checkpoint is created at (6) the path [1-4, 6] would be considered safe. Changes in this commit: - check_ids() is modified to disallow mapping multiple old_id to the same cur_id. - check_scalar_ids() is added, unlike check_ids() it treats ID zero as a unique scalar ID. - check_scalar_ids() needs to generate temporary unique IDs, field 'tmp_id_gen' is added to bpf_verifier_env::idmap_scratch to facilitate this. - regsafe() is updated to: - use check_scalar_ids() for precise scalar registers. - compare scalar registers using memcmp only for explore_alu_limits branch. This simplifies control flow for scalar case, and has no measurable performance impact. - check_alu_op() is updated to avoid generating bpf_reg_state::id for constant scalar values when processing BPF_MOV. ID is needed to propagate range information for identical values, but there is nothing to propagate for constants. Fixes: 75748837b7e5 ("bpf: Propagate scalar ranges through register assignments.")

2023-06-13bpf: Use scalar ids in mark_chain_precision()Eduard Zingerman1-1/+9
Change mark_chain_precision() to track precision in situations like below: r2 = unknown value ... --- state #0 --- ... r1 = r2 // r1 and r2 now share the same ID ... --- state #1 {r1.id = A, r2.id = A} --- ... if (r2 > 10) goto exit; // find_equal_scalars() assigns range to r1 ... --- state #2 {r1.id = A, r2.id = A} --- r3 = r10 r3 += r1 // need to mark both r1 and r2 At the beginning of the processing of each state, ensure that if a register with a scalar ID is marked as precise, all registers sharing this ID are also marked as precise. This property would be used by a follow-up change in regsafe().

2023-05-04bpf: improve precision backtrack loggingAndrii Nakryiko1-4/+9
Add helper to format register and stack masks in more human-readable format. Adjust logging a bit during backtrack propagation and especially during forcing precision fallback logic to make it clearer what's going on (with log_level=2, of course), and also start reporting affected frame depth. This is in preparation for having more than one active frame later when precision propagation between subprog calls is added.

2023-04-15bpf: Migrate bpf_rbtree_add and bpf_list_push_{front,back} to possibly failDave Marchevsky1-1/+6
Consider this code snippet: struct node { long key; bpf_list_node l; bpf_rb_node r; bpf_refcount ref; } int some_bpf_prog(void *ctx) { struct node *n = bpf_obj_new(/*...*/), *m; bpf_spin_lock(&glock); bpf_rbtree_add(&some_tree, &n->r, /* ... */); m = bpf_refcount_acquire(n); bpf_rbtree_add(&other_tree, &m->r, /* ... */); bpf_spin_unlock(&glock); /* ... */ } After bpf_refcount_acquire, n and m point to the same underlying memory, and that node's bpf_rb_node field is being used by the some_tree insert, so overwriting it as a result of the second insert is an error. In order to properly support refcounted nodes, the rbtree and list insert functions must be allowed to fail. This patch adds such support. The kfuncs bpf_rbtree_add, bpf_list_push_{front,back} are modified to return an int indicating success/failure, with 0 -> success, nonzero -> failure. bpf_obj_drop on failure ======================= Currently the only reason an insert can fail is the example above: the bpf_{list,rb}_node is already in use. When such a failure occurs, the insert kfuncs will bpf_obj_drop the input node. This allows the insert operations to logically fail without changing their verifier owning ref behavior, namely the unconditional release_reference of the input owning ref. With insert that always succeeds, ownership of the node is always passed to the collection, since the node always ends up in the collection. With a possibly-failed insert w/ bpf_obj_drop, ownership of the node is always passed either to the collection (success), or to bpf_obj_drop (failure). Regardless, it's correct to continue unconditionally releasing the input owning ref, as something is always taking ownership from the calling program on insert. Keeping owning ref behavior unchanged results in a nice default UX for insert functions that can fail. If the program's reaction to a failed insert is "fine, just get rid of this owning ref for me and let me go on with my business", then there's no reason to check for failure since that's default behavior. e.g.: long important_failures = 0; int some_bpf_prog(void *ctx) { struct node *n, *m, *o; /* all bpf_obj_new'd */ bpf_spin_lock(&glock); bpf_rbtree_add(&some_tree, &n->node, /* ... */); bpf_rbtree_add(&some_tree, &m->node, /* ... */); if (bpf_rbtree_add(&some_tree, &o->node, /* ... */)) { important_failures++; } bpf_spin_unlock(&glock); } If we instead chose to pass ownership back to the program on failed insert - by returning NULL on success or an owning ref on failure - programs would always have to do something with the returned ref on failure. The most likely action is probably "I'll just get rid of this owning ref and go about my business", which ideally would look like: if (n = bpf_rbtree_add(&some_tree, &n->node, /* ... */)) bpf_obj_drop(n); But bpf_obj_drop isn't allowed in a critical section and inserts must occur within one, so in reality error handling would become a hard-to-parse mess. For refcounted nodes, we can replicate the "pass ownership back to program on failure" logic with this patch's semantics, albeit in an ugly way: struct node *n = bpf_obj_new(/* ... */), *m; bpf_spin_lock(&glock); m = bpf_refcount_acquire(n); if (bpf_rbtree_add(&some_tree, &n->node, /* ... */)) { /* Do something with m */ } bpf_spin_unlock(&glock); bpf_obj_drop(m); bpf_refcount_acquire is used to simulate "return owning ref on failure". This should be an uncommon occurrence, though. Addition of two verifier-fixup'd args to collection inserts =========================================================== The actual bpf_obj_drop kfunc is bpf_obj_drop_impl(void *, struct btf_struct_meta *), with bpf_obj_drop macro populating the second arg with 0 and the verifier later filling in the arg during insn fixup. Because bpf_rbtree_add and bpf_list_push_{front,back} now might do bpf_obj_drop, these kfuncs need a btf_struct_meta parameter that can be passed to bpf_obj_drop_impl. Similarly, because the 'node' param to those insert functions is the bpf_{list,rb}_node within the node type, and bpf_obj_drop expects a pointer to the beginning of the node, the insert functions need to be able to find the beginning of the node struct. A second verifier-populated param is necessary: the offset of {list,rb}_node within the node type. These two new params allow the insert kfuncs to correctly call __bpf_obj_drop_impl: beginning_of_node = bpf_rb_node_ptr - offset if (already_inserted) __bpf_obj_drop_impl(beginning_of_node, btf_struct_meta->record); Similarly to other kfuncs with "hidden" verifier-populated params, the insert functions are renamed with _impl prefix and a macro is provided for common usage. For example, bpf_rbtree_add kfunc is now bpf_rbtree_add_impl and bpf_rbtree_add is now a macro which sets "hidden" args to 0. Due to the two new args BPF progs will need to be recompiled to work with the new _impl kfuncs. This patch also rewrites the "hidden argument" explanation to more directly say why the BPF program writer doesn't need to populate the arguments with anything meaningful. How does this new logic affect non-owning references? ===================================================== Currently, non-owning refs are valid until the end of the critical section in which they're created. We can make this guarantee because, if a non-owning ref exists, the referent was added to some collection. The collection will drop() its nodes when it goes away, but it can't go away while our program is accessing it, so that's not a problem. If the referent is removed from the collection in the same CS that it was added in, it can't be bpf_obj_drop'd until after CS end. Those are the only two ways to free the referent's memory and neither can happen until after the non-owning ref's lifetime ends. On first glance, having these collection insert functions potentially bpf_obj_drop their input seems like it breaks the "can't be bpf_obj_drop'd until after CS end" line of reasoning. But we care about the memory not being _freed_ until end of CS end, and a previous patch in the series modified bpf_obj_drop such that it doesn't free refcounted nodes until refcount == 0. So the statement can be more accurately rewritten as "can't be free'd until after CS end". We can prove that this rewritten statement holds for any non-owning reference produced by collection insert functions: * If the input to the insert function is _not_ refcounted * We have an owning reference to the input, and can conclude it isn't in any collection * Inserting a node in a collection turns owning refs into non-owning, and since our input type isn't refcounted, there's no way to obtain additional owning refs to the same underlying memory * Because our node isn't in any collection, the insert operation cannot fail, so bpf_obj_drop will not execute * If bpf_obj_drop is guaranteed not to execute, there's no risk of memory being free'd * Otherwise, the input to the insert function is refcounted * If the insert operation fails due to the node's list_head or rb_root already being in some collection, there was some previous successful insert which passed refcount to the collection * We have an owning reference to the input, it must have been acquired via bpf_refcount_acquire, which bumped the refcount * refcount must be >= 2 since there's a valid owning reference and the node is already in a collection * Insert triggering bpf_obj_drop will decr refcount to >= 1, never resulting in a free So although we may do bpf_obj_drop during the critical section, this will never result in memory being free'd, and no changes to non-owning ref logic are needed in this patch.

2023-04-11bpf: Simplify internal verifier log interfaceAndrii Nakryiko1-10/+3
Simplify internal verifier log API down to bpf_vlog_init() and bpf_vlog_finalize(). The former handles input arguments validation in one place and makes it easier to change it. The latter subsumes -ENOSPC (truncation) and -EFAULT handling and simplifies both caller's code (bpf_check() and btf_parse()). For btf_parse(), this patch also makes sure that verifier log finalization happens even if there is some error condition during BTF verification process prior to normal finalization step.

2023-04-11bpf: Keep track of total log content size in both fixed and rolling modesAndrii Nakryiko1-9/+3
Change how we do accounting in BPF_LOG_FIXED mode and adopt log->end_pos as *logical* log position. This means that we can go beyond physical log buffer size now and be able to tell what log buffer size should be to fit entire log contents without -ENOSPC. To do this for BPF_LOG_FIXED mode, we need to remove a short-circuiting logic of not vsnprintf()'ing further log content once we filled up user-provided buffer, which is done by bpf_verifier_log_needed() checks. We modify these checks to always keep going if log->level is non-zero (i.e., log is requested), even if log->ubuf was NULL'ed out due to copying data to user-space, or if entire log buffer is physically full. We adopt bpf_verifier_vlog() routine to work correctly with log->ubuf == NULL condition, performing log formatting into temporary kernel buffer, doing all the necessary accounting, but just avoiding copying data out if buffer is full or NULL'ed out. With these changes, it's now possible to do this sort of determination of log contents size in both BPF_LOG_FIXED and default rolling log mode. We need to keep in mind bpf_vlog_reset(), though, which shrinks log contents after successful verification of a particular code path. This log reset means that log->end_pos isn't always increasing, so to return back to users what should be the log buffer size to fit all log content without causing -ENOSPC even in the presence of log resetting, we need to keep maximum over "lifetime" of logging. We do this accounting in bpf_vlog_update_len_max() helper. A related and subtle aspect is that with this logical log->end_pos even in BPF_LOG_FIXED mode we could temporary "overflow" buffer, but then reset it back with bpf_vlog_reset() to a position inside user-supplied log_buf. In such situation we still want to properly maintain terminating zero. We will eventually return -ENOSPC even if final log buffer is small (we detect this through log->len_max check). This behavior is simpler to reason about and is consistent with current behavior of verifier log. Handling of this required a small addition to bpf_vlog_reset() logic to avoid doing put_user() beyond physical log buffer dimensions. Another issue to keep in mind is that we limit log buffer size to 32-bit value and keep such log length as u32, but theoretically verifier could produce huge log stretching beyond 4GB. Instead of keeping (and later returning) 64-bit log length, we cap it at UINT_MAX. Current UAPI makes it impossible to specify log buffer size bigger than 4GB anyways, so we don't really loose anything here and keep everything consistently 32-bit in UAPI. This property will be utilized in next patch. Doing the same determination of maximum log buffer for rolling mode is trivial, as log->end_pos and log->start_pos are already logical positions, so there is nothing new there. These changes do incidentally fix one small issue with previous logging logic. Previously, if use provided log buffer of size N, and actual log output was exactly N-1 bytes + terminating \0, kernel logic coun't distinguish this condition from log truncation scenario which would end up with truncated log contents of N-1 bytes + terminating \0 as well. But now with log->end_pos being logical position that could go beyond actual log buffer size, we can distinguish these two conditions, which we do in this patch. This plays nicely with returning log_size_actual (implemented in UAPI in the next patch), as we can now guarantee that if user takes such log_size_actual and provides log buffer of that exact size, they will not get -ENOSPC in return. All in all, all these changes do conceptually unify fixed and rolling log modes much better, and allow a nice feature requested by users: knowing what should be the size of the buffer to avoid -ENOSPC. We'll plumb this through the UAPI and the code in the next patch.

2023-04-11bpf: Switch BPF verifier log to be a rotating log by defaultAndrii Nakryiko1-7/+26
Currently, if user-supplied log buffer to collect BPF verifier log turns out to be too small to contain full log, bpf() syscall returns -ENOSPC, fails BPF program verification/load, and preserves first N-1 bytes of the verifier log (where N is the size of user-supplied buffer). This is problematic in a bunch of common scenarios, especially when working with real-world BPF programs that tend to be pretty complex as far as verification goes and require big log buffers. Typically, it's when debugging tricky cases at log level 2 (verbose). Also, when BPF program is successfully validated, log level 2 is the only way to actually see verifier state progression and all the important details. Even with log level 1, it's possible to get -ENOSPC even if the final verifier log fits in log buffer, if there is a code path that's deep enough to fill up entire log, even if normally it would be reset later on (there is a logic to chop off successfully validated portions of BPF verifier log). In short, it's not always possible to pre-size log buffer. Also, what's worse, in practice, the end of the log most often is way more important than the beginning, but verifier stops emitting log as soon as initial log buffer is filled up. This patch switches BPF verifier log behavior to effectively behave as rotating log. That is, if user-supplied log buffer turns out to be too short, verifier will keep overwriting previously written log, effectively treating user's log buffer as a ring buffer. -ENOSPC is still going to be returned at the end, to notify user that log contents was truncated, but the important last N bytes of the log would be returned, which might be all that user really needs. This consistent -ENOSPC behavior, regardless of rotating or fixed log behavior, allows to prevent backwards compatibility breakage. The only user-visible change is which portion of verifier log user ends up seeing *if buffer is too small*. Given contents of verifier log itself is not an ABI, there is no breakage due to this behavior change. Specialized tools that rely on specific contents of verifier log in -ENOSPC scenario are expected to be easily adapted to accommodate old and new behaviors. Importantly, though, to preserve good user experience and not require every user-space application to adopt to this new behavior, before exiting to user-space verifier will rotate log (in place) to make it start at the very beginning of user buffer as a continuous zero-terminated string. The contents will be a chopped off N-1 last bytes of full verifier log, of course. Given beginning of log is sometimes important as well, we add BPF_LOG_FIXED (which equals 8) flag to force old behavior, which allows tools like veristat to request first part of verifier log, if necessary. BPF_LOG_FIXED flag is also a simple and straightforward way to check if BPF verifier supports rotating behavior. On the implementation side, conceptually, it's all simple. We maintain 64-bit logical start and end positions. If we need to truncate the log, start position will be adjusted accordingly to lag end position by N bytes. We then use those logical positions to calculate their matching actual positions in user buffer and handle wrap around the end of the buffer properly. Finally, right before returning from bpf_check(), we rotate user log buffer contents in-place as necessary, to make log contents contiguous. See comments in relevant functions for details.

2023-04-11bpf: Split off basic BPF verifier log into separate fileAndrii Nakryiko1-12/+7
kernel/bpf/verifier.c file is large and growing larger all the time. So it's good to start splitting off more or less self-contained parts into separate files to keep source code size (somewhat) somewhat under control. This patch is a one step in this direction, moving some of BPF verifier log routines into a separate kernel/bpf/log.c. Right now it's most low-level and isolated routines to append data to log, reset log to previous position, etc. Eventually we could probably move verifier state printing logic here as well, but this patch doesn't attempt to do that yet. Subsequent patches will add more logic to verifier log management, so having basics in a separate file will make sure verifier.c doesn't grow more with new changes.

2023-03-10bpf: ensure state checkpointing at iter_next() call sitesAndrii Nakryiko1-1/+5
State equivalence check and checkpointing performed in is_state_visited() employs certain heuristics to try to save memory by avoiding state checkpoints if not enough jumps and instructions happened since last checkpoint. This leads to unpredictability of whether a particular instruction will be checkpointed and how regularly. While normally this is not causing much problems (except inconveniences for predictable verifier tests, which we overcome with BPF_F_TEST_STATE_FREQ flag), turns out it's not the case for open-coded iterators. Checking and saving state checkpoints at iter_next() call is crucial for fast convergence of open-coded iterator loop logic, so we need to force it. If we don't do that, is_state_visited() might skip saving a checkpoint, causing unnecessarily long sequence of not checkpointed instructions and jumps, leading to exhaustion of jump history buffer, and potentially other undesired outcomes. It is expected that with correct open-coded iterators convergence will happen quickly, so we don't run a risk of exhausting memory. This patch adds, in addition to prune and jump instruction marks, also a "forced checkpoint" mark, and makes sure that any iter_next() call instruction is marked as such.

2023-03-08bpf: add support for open-coded iterator loopsAndrii Nakryiko1-0/+23
Teach verifier about the concept of the open-coded (or inline) iterators. This patch adds generic iterator loop verification logic, new STACK_ITER stack slot type to contain iterator state, and necessary kfunc plumbing for iterator's constructor, destructor and next methods. Next patch implements first specific iterator (numbers iterator for implementing for() loop logic). Such split allows to have more focused commits for verifier logic and separate commit that we could point later to demonstrating what does it take to add a new kind of iterator. Each kind of iterator has its own associated struct bpf_iter_<type>, where <type> denotes a specific type of iterator. struct bpf_iter_<type> state is supposed to live on BPF program stack, so there will be no way to change its size later on without breaking backwards compatibility, so choose wisely! But given this struct is specific to a given <type> of iterator, this allows a lot of flexibility: simple iterators could be fine with just one stack slot (8 bytes), like numbers iterator in the next patch, while some other more complicated iterators might need way more to keep their iterator state. Either way, such design allows to avoid runtime memory allocations, which otherwise would be necessary if we fixed on-the-stack size and it turned out to be too small for a given iterator implementation. The way BPF verifier logic is implemented, there are no artificial restrictions on a number of active iterators, it should work correctly using multiple active iterators at the same time. This also means you can have multiple nested iteration loops. struct bpf_iter_<type> reference can be safely passed to subprograms as well. General flow is easiest to demonstrate with a simple example using number iterator implemented in next patch. Here's the simplest possible loop: struct bpf_iter_num it; int *v; bpf_iter_num_new(&it, 2, 5); while ((v = bpf_iter_num_next(&it))) { bpf_printk("X = %d", *v); } bpf_iter_num_destroy(&it); Above snippet should output "X = 2", "X = 3", "X = 4". Note that 5 is exclusive and is not returned. This matches similar APIs (e.g., slices in Go or Rust) that implement a range of elements, where end index is non-inclusive. In the above example, we see a trio of function: - constructor, bpf_iter_num_new(), which initializes iterator state (struct bpf_iter_num it) on the stack. If any of the input arguments are invalid, constructor should make sure to still initialize it such that subsequent bpf_iter_num_next() calls will return NULL. I.e., on error, return error and construct empty iterator. - next method, bpf_iter_num_next(), which accepts pointer to iterator state and produces an element. Next method should always return a pointer. The contract between BPF verifier is that next method will always eventually return NULL when elements are exhausted. Once NULL is returned, subsequent next calls should keep returning NULL. In the case of numbers iterator, bpf_iter_num_next() returns a pointer to an int (storage for this integer is inside the iterator state itself), which can be dereferenced after corresponding NULL check. - once done with the iterator, it's mandated that user cleans up its state with the call to destructor, bpf_iter_num_destroy() in this case. Destructor frees up any resources and marks stack space used by struct bpf_iter_num as usable for something else. Any other iterator implementation will have to implement at least these three methods. It is enforced that for any given type of iterator only applicable constructor/destructor/next are callable. I.e., verifier ensures you can't pass number iterator state into, say, cgroup iterator's next method. It is important to keep the naming pattern consistent to be able to create generic macros to help with BPF iter usability. E.g., one of the follow up patches adds generic bpf_for_each() macro to bpf_misc.h in selftests, which allows to utilize iterator "trio" nicely without having to code the above somewhat tedious loop explicitly every time. This is enforced at kfunc registration point by one of the previous patches in this series. At the implementation level, iterator state tracking for verification purposes is very similar to dynptr. We add STACK_ITER stack slot type, reserve necessary number of slots, depending on sizeof(struct bpf_iter_<type>), and keep track of necessary extra state in the "main" slot, which is marked with non-zero ref_obj_id. Other slots are also marked as STACK_ITER, but have zero ref_obj_id. This is simpler than having a separate "is_first_slot" flag. Another big distinction is that STACK_ITER is *always refcounted*, which simplifies implementation without sacrificing usability. So no need for extra "iter_id", no need to anticipate reuse of STACK_ITER slots for new constructors, etc. Keeping it simple here. As far as the verification logic goes, there are two extensive comments: in process_iter_next_call() and iter_active_depths_differ() explaining some important and sometimes subtle aspects. Please refer to them for details. But from 10,000-foot point of view, next methods are the points of forking a verification state, which are conceptually similar to what verifier is doing when validating conditional jump. We branch out at a `call bpf_iter_<type>_next` instruction and simulate two outcomes: NULL (iteration is done) and non-NULL (new element is returned). NULL is simulated first and is supposed to reach exit without looping. After that non-NULL case is validated and it either reaches exit (for trivial examples with no real loop), or reaches another `call bpf_iter_<type>_next` instruction with the state equivalent to already (partially) validated one. State equivalency at that point means we technically are going to be looping forever without "breaking out" out of established "state envelope" (i.e., subsequent iterations don't add any new knowledge or constraints to the verifier state, so running 1, 2, 10, or a million of them doesn't matter). But taking into account the contract stating that iterator next method *has to* return NULL eventually, we can conclude that loop body is safe and will eventually terminate. Given we validated logic outside of the loop (NULL case), and concluded that loop body is safe (though potentially looping many times), verifier can claim safety of the overall program logic. The rest of the patch is necessary plumbing for state tracking, marking, validation, and necessary further kfunc plumbing to allow implementing iterator constructor, destructor, and next methods.

All kfuncs (constructor, next, destructor) have to be named consistenly as bpf_iter_<type>_{new,next,destroy}(), respectively. <type> represents iterator type, and iterator state should be represented as a matching `struct bpf_iter_<type>` state type. Also, all iter kfuncs should have a pointer to this `struct bpf_iter_<type>` as the very first argument. Additionally: - Constructor, i.e., bpf_iter_<type>_new(), can have arbitrary extra number of arguments. Return type is not enforced either. - Next method, i.e., bpf_iter_<type>_next(), has to return a pointer type and should have exactly one argument: `struct bpf_iter_<type> *` (const/volatile/restrict and typedefs are ignored). - Destructor, i.e., bpf_iter_<type>_destroy(), should return void and should have exactly one argument, similar to the next method. - struct bpf_iter_<type> size is enforced to be positive and a multiple of 8 bytes (to fit stack slots correctly). Such strictness and consistency allows to build generic helpers abstracting important, but boilerplate, details to be able to use open-coded iterators effectively and ergonomically (see bpf_for_each() in subsequent patches). It also simplifies the verifier logic in some places. At the same time, this doesn't hurt generality of possible iterator implementations. Win-win. Constructor kfunc is marked with a new KF_ITER_NEW flags, next method is marked with KF_ITER_NEXT (and should also have KF_RET_NULL, of course), while destructor kfunc is marked as KF_ITER_DESTROY. Additionally, we add a trivial kfunc name validation: it should be a valid non-NULL and non-empty string.

2023-03-03bpf: Refactor RCU enforcement in the verifier.Alexei Starovoitov1-1/+0
bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock() are only available in clang compiled kernels. Lack of such key mechanism makes it impossible for sleepable bpf programs to use RCU pointers. Allow bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock() in GCC compiled kernels (though GCC doesn't support btf_type_tag yet) and allowlist certain field dereferences in important data structures like tast_struct, cgroup, socket that are used by sleepable programs either as RCU pointer or full trusted pointer (which is valid outside of RCU CS). Use BTF_TYPE_SAFE_RCU and BTF_TYPE_SAFE_TRUSTED macros for such tagging. They will be removed once GCC supports btf_type_tag. With that refactor check_ptr_to_btf_access(). Make it strict in enforcing PTR_TRUSTED and PTR_UNTRUSTED while deprecating old PTR_TO_BTF_ID without modifier flags. There is a chance that this strict enforcement might break existing programs (especially on GCC compiled kernels), but this cleanup has to start sooner than later. Note PTR_TO_CTX access still yields old deprecated PTR_TO_BTF_ID. Once it's converted to strict PTR_TRUSTED or PTR_UNTRUSTED the kfuncs and helpers will be able to default to KF_TRUSTED_ARGS. KF_RCU will remain as a weaker version of KF_TRUSTED_ARGS where obj refcnt could be 0. Adjust rcu_read_lock selftest to run on gcc and clang compiled kernels.

2023-02-13bpf: Migrate release_on_unlock logic to non-owning ref semanticsDave Marchevsky1-20/+18
This patch introduces non-owning reference semantics to the verifier, specifically linked_list API kfunc handling. release_on_unlock logic for refs is refactored - with small functional changes - to implement these semantics, and bpf_list_push_{front,back} are migrated to use them. When a list node is pushed to a list, the program still has a pointer to the node: n = bpf_obj_new(typeof(*n)); bpf_spin_lock(&l); bpf_list_push_back(&l, n); /* n still points to the just-added node */ bpf_spin_unlock(&l); What the verifier considers n to be after the push, and thus what can be done with n, are changed by this patch. Common properties both before/after this patch: * After push, n is only a valid reference to the node until end of critical section * After push, n cannot be pushed to any list * After push, the program can read the node's fields using n Before: * After push, n retains the ref_obj_id which it received on bpf_obj_new, but the associated bpf_reference_state's release_on_unlock field is set to true * release_on_unlock field and associated logic is used to implement "n is only a valid ref until end of critical section" * After push, n cannot be written to, the node must be removed from the list before writing to its fields * After push, n is marked PTR_UNTRUSTED After: * After push, n's ref is released and ref_obj_id set to 0. NON_OWN_REF type flag is added to reg's type, indicating that it's a non-owning reference. * NON_OWN_REF flag and logic is used to implement "n is only a valid ref until end of critical section" * n can be written to (except for special fields e.g. bpf_list_node, timer, ...) Summary of specific implementation changes to achieve the above: * release_on_unlock field, ref_set_release_on_unlock helper, and logic to "release on unlock" based on that field are removed * The anonymous active_lock struct used by bpf_verifier_state is pulled out into a named struct bpf_active_lock. * NON_OWN_REF type flag is introduced along with verifier logic changes to handle non-owning refs * Helpers are added to use NON_OWN_REF flag to implement non-owning ref semantics as described above * invalidate_non_owning_refs - helper to clobber all non-owning refs matching a particular bpf_active_lock identity. Replaces release_on_unlock logic in process_spin_lock. * ref_set_non_owning - set NON_OWN_REF type flag after doing some sanity checking * ref_convert_owning_non_owning - convert owning reference w/ specified ref_obj_id to non-owning references. Set NON_OWN_REF flag for each reg with that ref_obj_id and 0-out its ref_obj_id * Update linked_list selftests to account for minor semantic differences introduced by this patch * Writes to a release_on_unlock node ref are not allowed, while writes to non-owning reference pointees are. As a result the linked_list "write after push" failure tests are no longer scenarios that should fail. * The test##missing_lock##op and test##incorrect_lock##op macro-generated failure tests need to have a valid node argument in order to have the same error output as before. Otherwise verification will fail early and the expected error output won't be seen.

2023-01-20bpf: Invalidate slices on destruction of dynptrs on stackKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-1/+4
The previous commit implemented destroy_if_dynptr_stack_slot. It destroys the dynptr which given spi belongs to, but still doesn't invalidate the slices that belong to such a dynptr. While for the case of referenced dynptr, we don't allow their overwrite and return an error early, we still allow it and destroy the dynptr for unreferenced dynptr. To be able to enable precise and scoped invalidation of dynptr slices in this case, we must be able to associate the source dynptr of slices that have been obtained using bpf_dynptr_data. When doing destruction, only slices belonging to the dynptr being destructed should be invalidated, and nothing else. Currently, dynptr slices belonging to different dynptrs are indistinguishible. Hence, allocate a unique id to each dynptr (CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR and those on stack). This will be stored as part of reg->id. Whenever using bpf_dynptr_data, transfer this unique dynptr id to the returned PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL slice pointer, and store it in a new per-PTR_TO_MEM dynptr_id register state member. Finally, after establishing such a relationship between dynptrs and their slices, implement precise invalidation logic that only invalidates slices belong to the destroyed dynptr in destroy_if_dynptr_stack_slot.

Move id and ref_obj_id fields after scalar data section (var_off and ranges). This is necessary to simplify next patch which will change regsafe()'s logic to be safer, as it makes the contents that has to be an exact match (type-specific parts, off, type, and var_off+ranges) a single sequential block of memory, while id and ref_obj_id should always be remapped and thus can't be memcp()'ed. There are few places that assume that var_off is after id/ref_obj_id to clear out id/ref_obj_id with the single memset(0). These are changed to explicitly zero-out id/ref_obj_id fields. Other places are adjusted to preserve exact byte-by-byte comparison behavior. No functional changes.

(a) is verified first.) Suppose that checkpoint is created at (6) when path (a) is verified, next path (b) is verified and (6) is reached. If states_equal() maintains separate 'idmap' for each frame the mapping at (6) for frame[1] would be empty and regsafe(r9)::check_ids() would add a pair 2->1 and return true, which is an error. If states_equal() maintains single 'idmap' for all frames the mapping at (6) would be { 1->1, 2->2 } and regsafe(r9)::check_ids() would return false when trying to add a pair 2->1.

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.

2022-12-06bpf: decouple prune and jump pointsAndrii Nakryiko1-0/+1
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.

2022-12-04bpf: Handle MEM_RCU type properlyYonghong Song1-1/+1
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.

2022-11-24bpf: Add kfunc bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock()Yonghong Song1-1/+4
Add two kfunc's bpf_rcu_read_lock() and bpf_rcu_read_unlock(). These two kfunc's can be used for all program types. The following is an example about how rcu pointer are used w.r.t. bpf_rcu_read_lock()/bpf_rcu_read_unlock(). 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.

2022-11-20bpf: Allow trusted pointers to be passed to KF_TRUSTED_ARGS kfuncsDavid Vernet1-0/+7
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 "wa
