Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 3/9] bpf/verifier: refine retval R0 state for bpf_get_stack helper

From: Yonghong Song <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2018 09:54:38 -0700

The special property of return values for helpers bpf_get_stack
and bpf_probe_read_str are captured in verifier.
Both helpers return a negative error code or
a length, which is equal to or smaller than the buffer
size argument. This additional information in the
verifier can avoid the condition such as "retval > bufsize"
in the bpf program. For example, for the code blow,
    usize = bpf_get_stack(ctx, raw_data, max_len, BPF_F_USER_STACK);
    if (usize < 0 || usize > max_len)
        return 0;
The verifier may have the following errors:
    52: (85) call bpf_get_stack#65
     R0=map_value(id=0,off=0,ks=4,vs=1600,imm=0) R1_w=ctx(id=0,off=0,imm=0)
     R2_w=map_value(id=0,off=0,ks=4,vs=1600,imm=0) R3_w=inv800 R4_w=inv256
     R6=ctx(id=0,off=0,imm=0) R7=map_value(id=0,off=0,ks=4,vs=1600,imm=0)
     R9_w=inv800 R10=fp0,call_-1
    53: (bf) r8 = r0
    54: (bf) r1 = r8
    55: (67) r1 <<= 32
    56: (bf) r2 = r1
    57: (77) r2 >>= 32
    58: (25) if r2 > 0x31f goto pc+33
     R0=inv(id=0) R1=inv(id=0,smax_value=9223372032559808512,
                         umax_value=18446744069414584320,
                         var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff00000000))
     R2=inv(id=0,umax_value=799,var_off=(0x0; 0x3ff))
     R6=ctx(id=0,off=0,imm=0) R7=map_value(id=0,off=0,ks=4,vs=1600,imm=0)
     R8=inv(id=0) R9=inv800 R10=fp0,call_-1
    59: (1f) r9 -= r8
    60: (c7) r1 s>>= 32
    61: (bf) r2 = r7
    62: (0f) r2 += r1
    math between map_value pointer and register with unbounded
    min value is not allowed
The failure is due to llvm compiler optimization where register "r2",
which is a copy of "r1", is tested for condition while later on "r1"
is used for map_ptr operation. The verifier is not able to track such
inst sequence effectively.

Without the "usize > max_len" condition, there is no llvm optimization
and the below generated code passed verifier:
    52: (85) call bpf_get_stack#65
     R0=map_value(id=0,off=0,ks=4,vs=1600,imm=0) R1_w=ctx(id=0,off=0,imm=0)
     R2_w=map_value(id=0,off=0,ks=4,vs=1600,imm=0) R3_w=inv800 R4_w=inv256
     R6=ctx(id=0,off=0,imm=0) R7=map_value(id=0,off=0,ks=4,vs=1600,imm=0)
     R9_w=inv800 R10=fp0,call_-1
    53: (b7) r1 = 0
    54: (bf) r8 = r0
    55: (67) r8 <<= 32
    56: (c7) r8 s>>= 32
    57: (6d) if r1 s> r8 goto pc+24
     R0=inv(id=0,umax_value=800) R1=inv0 R6=ctx(id=0,off=0,imm=0)
     R7=map_value(id=0,off=0,ks=4,vs=1600,imm=0)
     R8=inv(id=0,umax_value=800,var_off=(0x0; 0x3ff)) R9=inv800
     R10=fp0,call_-1
    58: (bf) r2 = r7
    59: (0f) r2 += r8
    60: (1f) r9 -= r8
    61: (bf) r1 = r6
