Christian Loehle 7fe44c4388 bpf: drop kthread_exit from noreturn_deny
kthread_exit became a macro to do_exit in commit 28aaa9c399
("kthread: consolidate kthread exit paths to prevent use-after-free"),
so there is no kthread_exit function BTF ID to resolve. Remove it from
noreturn_deny to avoid resolve_btfids unresolved symbol warnings.

Lang Xu 56145d2373 bpf: Fix a UAF issue in bpf_trampoline_link_cgroup_shim
The root cause of this bug is that when 'bpf_link_put' reduces the
refcount of 'shim_link->link.link' to zero, the resource is considered
released but may still be referenced via 'tr->progs_hlist' in
'cgroup_shim_find'. The actual cleanup of 'tr->progs_hlist' in
'bpf_shim_tramp_link_release' is deferred. During this window, another
process can cause a use-after-free via 'bpf_trampoline_link_cgroup_shim'.

Based on Martin KaFai Lau's suggestions, I have created a simple patch.

To fix this:
   Add an atomic non-zero check in 'bpf_trampoline_link_cgroup_shim'.
   Only increment the refcount if it is not already zero.

Testing:
   I verified the fix by adding a delay in
   'bpf_shim_tramp_link_release' to make the bug easier to trigger:

static void bpf_shim_tramp_link_release(struct bpf_link *link)
{
	/* ... */
	if (!shim_link->trampoline)
		return;

+	msleep(100);
	WARN_ON_ONCE(bpf_trampoline_unlink_prog(&shim_link->link,
		shim_link->trampoline, NULL));
	bpf_trampoline_put(shim_link->trampoline);
}

Before the patch, running a PoC easily reproduced the crash(almost 100%)
with a call trace similar to KaiyanM's report.
After the patch, the bug no longer occurs even after millions of
iterations.

Eduard Zingerman 69ca55e631 bpf: extract check_global_subprog_return_code() for clarity
From: Eduard Zingerman <eddyz87@gmail.com>

Both main progs and subprogs use the same function in the verifier,
check_return_code, to verify the type and value range of the register
being returned. However, subprogs only need a subset of the logic in
check_return_code. this also goes the way - check_return_code explicitly
checks whether it is handling a subprogram in multiple places, complicating
the logic. Separate the handling of the two into separate functions.

No functional changes. The change made in return_retval_code's handling

Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi de6c7d99f8 bpf: Relax fixed offset check for PTR_TO_CTX
The limitation on fixed offsets stems from the fact that certain program
types rewrite the accesses to the context structure and translate them
to accesses to the real underlying type. Technically, in the past, we
could have stashed the register offset in insn_aux and made rewrites
work, but we've never needed it in the past since the offset for such
context structures easily fit in the s16 signed instruction offset.

Regardless, the consequence is that for program types where the program
type's verifier ops doesn't supply a convert_ctx_access callback, we
unnecessarily reject accesses with a modified ctx pointer (i.e., one
whose offset has been shifted) in check_ptr_off_reg. Make an exception
for such program types (like syscall, tracepoint, raw_tp, etc.).

Pass in fixed_off_ok as true to __check_ptr_off_reg for such cases, and
accumulate the register offset into insn->off passed to check_ctx_access.
In particular, the accumulation is critical since we need to correctly
track the max_ctx_offset which is used for bounds checking the buffer
for syscall programs at runtime.

Anand Kumar Shaw 39948c2d42 bpf: Add missing XDP_ABORTED handling in cpumap
cpu_map_bpf_prog_run_xdp() handles XDP_PASS, XDP_REDIRECT, and
XDP_DROP but is missing an XDP_ABORTED case. Without it, XDP_ABORTED
falls into the default case which logs a misleading "invalid XDP
action" warning instead of tracing the abort via trace_xdp_exception().

Add the missing XDP_ABORTED case with trace_xdp_exception(), matching
the handling already present in the skb path (cpu_map_bpf_prog_run_skb),
devmap (dev_map_bpf_prog_run), and the generic XDP path (do_xdp_generic).

Also pass xdpf->dev_rx instead of NULL to bpf_warn_invalid_xdp_action()
in the default case, so the warning includes the actual device name.
This aligns with the generic XDP path in net/core/dev.c which already
passes the real device.

Paul Chaignon efc11a6678 bpf: Improve bounds when tnum has a single possible value
We're hitting an invariant violation in Cilium that sometimes leads to
BPF programs being rejected and Cilium failing to start [1]. The
following extract from verifier logs shows what's happening:

  from 201 to 236: R1=0 R6=ctx() R7=1 R9=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3584,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100)) R10=fp0
  236: R1=0 R6=ctx() R7=1 R9=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3584,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100)) R10=fp0
  ; if (magic == MARK_MAGIC_HOST || magic == MARK_MAGIC_OVERLAY || magic == MARK_MAGIC_ENCRYPT) @ bpf_host.c:1337
  236: (16) if w9 == 0xe00 goto pc+45   ; R9=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3585,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100))
  237: (16) if w9 == 0xf00 goto pc+1
  verifier bug: REG INVARIANTS VIOLATION (false_reg1): range bounds violation u64=[0xe01, 0xe00] s64=[0xe01, 0xe00] u32=[0xe01, 0xe00] s32=[0xe01, 0xe00] var_off=(0xe00, 0x0)

We reach instruction 236 with two possible values for R9, 0xe00 and
0xf00. This is perfectly reflected in the tnum, but of course the ranges
are less accurate and cover [0xe00; 0xf00]. Taking the fallthrough path
at instruction 236 allows the verifier to reduce the range to
[0xe01; 0xf00]. The tnum is however not updated.

With these ranges, at instruction 237, the verifier is not able to
deduce that R9 is always equal to 0xf00. Hence the fallthrough pass is
explored first, the verifier refines the bounds using the assumption
that R9 != 0xf00, and ends up with an invariant violation.

This pattern of impossible branch + bounds refinement is common to all
invariant violations seen so far. The long-term solution is likely to
rely on the refinement + invariant violation check to detect dead
branches, as started by Eduard. To fix the current issue, we need
something with less refactoring that we can backport.

This patch uses the tnum_step helper introduced in the previous patch to
detect the above situation. In particular, three cases are now detected
in the bounds refinement:

1. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in umin.
   u64:  ---[xxxxxx]-----
   tnum: --xx----------x-

2. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in the maximum value
   represented by the tnum, called tmax.
   u64:  ---[xxxxxx]-----
   tnum: xx-----x--------

3. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in between umin (excluded)
   and umax.
   u64:  ---[xxxxxx]-----
   tnum: xx----x-------x-

To detect these three cases, we call tnum_step(tnum, umin), which
returns the smallest member of the tnum greater than umin, called
tnum_next here. We're in case (1) if umin is part of the tnum and
tnum_next is greater than umax. We're in case (2) if umin is not part of
the tnum and tnum_next is equal to tmax. Finally, we're in case (3) if
umin is not part of the tnum, tnum_next is inferior or equal to umax,
and calling tnum_step a second time gives us a value past umax.

This change implements these three cases. With it, the above bytecode
looks as follows:

  0: (85) call bpf_get_prandom_u32#7    ; R0=scalar()
  1: (47) r0 |= 3584                    ; R0=scalar(smin=0x8000000000000e00,umin=umin32=3584,smin32=0x80000e00,var_off=(0xe00; 0xfffffffffffff1ff))
  2: (57) r0 &= 3840                    ; R0=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3584,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100))
  3: (15) if r0 == 0xe00 goto pc+2      ; R0=3840
  4: (15) if r0 == 0xf00 goto pc+1
  4: R0=3840
  6: (95) exit

In addition to the new selftests, this change was also verified with
Agni [3]. For the record, the raw SMT is available at [4]. The property
it verifies is that: If a concrete value x is contained in all input
abstract values, after __update_reg_bounds, it will continue to be
contained in all output abstract values.

Harishankar Vishwanathan 76e954155b bpf: Introduce tnum_step to step through tnum's members
This commit introduces tnum_step(), a function that, when given t, and a
number z returns the smallest member of t larger than z. The number z
must be greater or equal to the smallest member of t and less than the
largest member of t.

The first step is to compute j, a number that keeps all of t's known
bits, and matches all unknown bits to z's bits. Since j is a member of
the t, it is already a candidate for result. However, we want our result
to be (minimally) greater than z.

There are only two possible cases:

(1) Case j <= z. In this case, we want to increase the value of j and
make it > z.
(2) Case j > z. In this case, we want to decrease the value of j while
keeping it > z.

(Case 1) j <= z

t = xx11x0x0
z = 10111101 (189)
j = 10111000 (184)
         ^
         k

(Case 1.1) Let's first consider the case where j < z. We will address j
== z later.

Since z > j, there had to be a bit position that was 1 in z and a 0 in
j, beyond which all positions of higher significance are equal in j and
z. Further, this position could not have been unknown in a, because the
unknown positions of a match z. This position had to be a 1 in z and
known 0 in t.

Let k be position of the most significant 1-to-0 flip. In our example, k
= 3 (starting the count at 1 at the least significant bit).  Setting (to
1) the unknown bits of t in positions of significance smaller than
k will not produce a result > z. Hence, we must set/unset the unknown
bits at positions of significance higher than k. Specifically, we look
for the next larger combination of 1s and 0s to place in those
positions, relative to the combination that exists in z. We can achieve
this by concatenating bits at unknown positions of t into an integer,
adding 1, and writing the bits of that result back into the
corresponding bit positions previously extracted from z.

>From our example, considering only positions of significance greater
than k:

t =  xx..x
z =  10..1
    +    1
     -----
     11..0

This is the exact combination 1s and 0s we need at the unknown bits of t
in positions of significance greater than k. Further, our result must
only increase the value minimally above z. Hence, unknown bits in
positions of significance smaller than k should remain 0. We finally
have,

result = 11110000 (240)

(Case 1.2) Now consider the case when j = z, for example

t = 1x1x0xxx
z = 10110100 (180)
j = 10110100 (180)

Matching the unknown bits of the t to the bits of z yielded exactly z.
To produce a number greater than z, we must set/unset the unknown bits
in t, and *all* the unknown bits of t candidates for being set/unset. We
can do this similar to Case 1.1, by adding 1 to the bits extracted from
the masked bit positions of z. Essentially, this case is equivalent to
Case 1.1, with k = 0.

t =  1x1x0xxx
z =  .0.1.100
    +       1
    ---------
     .0.1.101

This is the exact combination of bits needed in the unknown positions of
t. After recalling the known positions of t, we get

result = 10110101 (181)

(Case 2) j > z

t = x00010x1
z = 10000010 (130)
j = 10001011 (139)
	^
	k

Since j > z, there had to be a bit position which was 0 in z, and a 1 in
j, beyond which all positions of higher significance are equal in j and
z. This position had to be a 0 in z and known 1 in t. Let k be the
position of the most significant 0-to-1 flip. In our example, k = 4.

Because of the 0-to-1 flip at position k, a member of t can become
greater than z if the bits in positions greater than k are themselves >=
to z. To make that member *minimally* greater than z, the bits in
positions greater than k must be exactly = z. Hence, we simply match all
of t's unknown bits in positions more significant than k to z's bits. In
positions less significant than k, we set all t's unknown bits to 0
to retain minimality.

In our example, in positions of greater significance than k (=4),
t=x000. These positions are matched with z (1000) to produce 1000. In
positions of lower significance than k, t=10x1. All unknown bits are set
to 0 to produce 1001. The final result is:

result = 10001001 (137)

This concludes the computation for a result > z that is a member of t.

The procedure for tnum_step() in this commit implements the idea
described above. As a proof of correctness, we verified the algorithm
against a logical specification of tnum_step. The specification asserts
the following about the inputs t, z and output res that:

1. res is a member of t, and
2. res is strictly greater than z, and
3. there does not exist another value res2 such that
	3a. res2 is also a member of t, and
	3b. res2 is greater than z
	3c. res2 is smaller than res

We checked the implementation against this logical specification using
an SMT solver. The verification formula in SMTLIB format is available
at [1]. The verification returned an "unsat": indicating that no input
assignment exists for which the implementation and the specification
produce different outputs.

In addition, we also automatically generated the logical encoding of the
C implementation using Agni [2] and verified it against the same
specification. This verification also returned an "unsat", confirming
that the implementation is equivalent to the specification. The formula
for this check is also available at [3].

Jiayuan Chen 1872e75375 bpf: Fix race in devmap on PREEMPT_RT
On PREEMPT_RT kernels, the per-CPU xdp_dev_bulk_queue (bq) can be
accessed concurrently by multiple preemptible tasks on the same CPU.

The original code assumes bq_enqueue() and __dev_flush() run atomically
with respect to each other on the same CPU, relying on
local_bh_disable() to prevent preemption. However, on PREEMPT_RT,
local_bh_disable() only calls migrate_disable() (when
PREEMPT_RT_NEEDS_BH_LOCK is not set) and does not disable
preemption, which allows CFS scheduling to preempt a task during
bq_xmit_all(), enabling another task on the same CPU to enter
bq_enqueue() and operate on the same per-CPU bq concurrently.

This leads to several races:

1. Double-free / use-after-free on bq->q[]: bq_xmit_all() snapshots
   cnt = bq->count, then iterates bq->q[0..cnt-1] to transmit frames.
   If preempted after the snapshot, a second task can call bq_enqueue()
   -> bq_xmit_all() on the same bq, transmitting (and freeing) the
   same frames. When the first task resumes, it operates on stale
   pointers in bq->q[], causing use-after-free.

2. bq->count and bq->q[] corruption: concurrent bq_enqueue() modifying
   bq->count and bq->q[] while bq_xmit_all() is reading them.

3. dev_rx/xdp_prog teardown race: __dev_flush() clears bq->dev_rx and
   bq->xdp_prog after bq_xmit_all(). If preempted between
   bq_xmit_all() return and bq->dev_rx = NULL, a preempting
   bq_enqueue() sees dev_rx still set (non-NULL), skips adding bq to
   the flush_list, and enqueues a frame. When __dev_flush() resumes,
   it clears dev_rx and removes bq from the flush_list, orphaning the
   newly enqueued frame.

4. __list_del_clearprev() on flush_node: similar to the cpumap race,
   both tasks can call __list_del_clearprev() on the same flush_node,
   the second dereferences the prev pointer already set to NULL.

The race between task A (__dev_flush -> bq_xmit_all) and task B
(bq_enqueue -> bq_xmit_all) on the same CPU:

  Task A (xdp_do_flush)          Task B (ndo_xdp_xmit redirect)
  ----------------------         --------------------------------
  __dev_flush(flush_list)
    bq_xmit_all(bq)
      cnt = bq->count  /* e.g. 16 */
      /* start iterating bq->q[] */
    <-- CFS preempts Task A -->
                                   bq_enqueue(dev, xdpf)
                                     bq->count == DEV_MAP_BULK_SIZE
                                     bq_xmit_all(bq, 0)
                                       cnt = bq->count  /* same 16! */
                                       ndo_xdp_xmit(bq->q[])
                                       /* frames freed by driver */
                                       bq->count = 0
    <-- Task A resumes -->
      ndo_xdp_xmit(bq->q[])
      /* use-after-free: frames already freed! */

Jiayuan Chen 869c63d597 bpf: Fix race in cpumap on PREEMPT_RT
On PREEMPT_RT kernels, the per-CPU xdp_bulk_queue (bq) can be accessed
concurrently by multiple preemptible tasks on the same CPU.

The original code assumes bq_enqueue() and __cpu_map_flush() run
atomically with respect to each other on the same CPU, relying on
local_bh_disable() to prevent preemption. However, on PREEMPT_RT,
local_bh_disable() only calls migrate_disable() (when
PREEMPT_RT_NEEDS_BH_LOCK is not set) and does not disable
preemption, which allows CFS scheduling to preempt a task during
bq_flush_to_queue(), enabling another task on the same CPU to enter
bq_enqueue() and operate on the same per-CPU bq concurrently.

This leads to several races:

1. Double __list_del_clearprev(): after bq->count is reset in
   bq_flush_to_queue(), a preempting task can call bq_enqueue() ->
   bq_flush_to_queue() on the same bq when bq->count reaches
   CPU_MAP_BULK_SIZE. Both tasks then call __list_del_clearprev()
   on the same bq->flush_node, the second call dereferences the
   prev pointer that was already set to NULL by the first.

2. bq->count and bq->q[] races: concurrent bq_enqueue() can corrupt
   the packet queue while bq_flush_to_queue() is processing it.

The race between task A (__cpu_map_flush -> bq_flush_to_queue) and
task B (bq_enqueue -> bq_flush_to_queue) on the same CPU:

  Task A (xdp_do_flush)          Task B (cpu_map_enqueue)
  ----------------------         ------------------------
  bq_flush_to_queue(bq)
    spin_lock(&q->producer_lock)
    /* flush bq->q[] to ptr_ring */
    bq->count = 0
    spin_unlock(&q->producer_lock)
                                   bq_enqueue(rcpu, xdpf)
    <-- CFS preempts Task A -->      bq->q[bq->count++] = xdpf
                                     /* ... more enqueues until full ... */
                                     bq_flush_to_queue(bq)
                                       spin_lock(&q->producer_lock)
                                       /* flush to ptr_ring */
                                       spin_unlock(&q->producer_lock)
                                       __list_del_clearprev(flush_node)
                                         /* sets flush_node.prev = NULL */
    <-- Task A resumes -->
    __list_del_clearprev(flush_node)
      flush_node.prev->next = ...
      /* prev is NULL -> kernel oops */

Fix this by adding a local_lock_t to xdp_bulk_queue and acquiring it
in bq_enqueue() and __cpu_map_flush(). These paths already run under
local_bh_disable(), so use local_lock_nested_bh() which on non-RT is
a pure annotation with no overhead, and on PREEMPT_RT provides a
per-CPU sleeping lock that serializes access to the bq.

To reproduce, insert an mdelay(100) between bq->count = 0 and
__list_del_clearprev() in bq_flush_to_queue(), then run reproducer
provided by syzkaller.

Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi f41deee082 bpf: Delay freeing fields in local storage
Currently, when use_kmalloc_nolock is false, the freeing of fields for a
local storage selem is done eagerly before waiting for the RCU or RCU
tasks trace grace period to elapse. This opens up a window where the
program which has access to the selem can recreate the fields after the
freeing of fields is done eagerly, causing memory leaks when the element
is finally freed and returned to the kernel.

Make a few changes to address this. First, delay the freeing of fields
until after the grace periods have expired using a __bpf_selem_free_rcu
wrapper which is eventually invoked after transitioning through the
necessary number of grace period waits. Replace usage of the kfree_rcu
with call_rcu to be able to take a custom callback. Finally, care needs
to be taken to extend the rcu barriers for all cases, and not just when
use_kmalloc_nolock is true, as RCU and RCU tasks trace callbacks can be
in flight for either case and access the smap field, which is used to
obtain the BTF record to walk over special fields in the map value.

While we're at it, drop migrate_disable() from bpf_selem_free_rcu, since
migration should be disabled for RCU callbacks already.

to set a dtor on its bpf_mem_alloc or not. Unlike C++ where members can

Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi 1df97a7453 bpf: Register dtor for freeing special fields
There is a race window where BPF hash map elements can leak special
fields if the program with access to the map value recreates these
special fields between the check_and_free_fields done on the map value
and its eventual return to the memory allocator.

Several ways were explored prior to this patch, most notably [0] tried
to use a poison value to reject attempts to recreate special fields for
map values that have been logically deleted but still accessible to BPF
programs (either while sitting in the free list or when reused). While
this approach works well for task work, timers, wq, etc., it is harder
to apply the idea to kptrs, which have a similar race and failure mode.

Instead, we change bpf_mem_alloc to allow registering destructor for
allocated elements, such that when they are returned to the allocator,
any special fields created while they were accessible to programs in the
mean time will be freed. If these values get reused, we do not free the
fields again before handing the element back. The special fields thus
may remain initialized while the map value sits in a free list.

When bpf_mem_alloc is retired in the future, a similar concept can be
introduced to kmalloc_nolock-backed kmem_cache, paired with the existing
idea of a constructor.

Note that the destructor registration happens in map_check_btf, after
the BTF record is populated and (at that point) avaiable for inspection
and duplication. Duplication is necessary since the freeing of embedded
bpf_mem_alloc can be decoupled from actual map lifetime due to logic
introduced to reduce the cost of rcu_barrier()s in mem alloc free path in
9f2c6e96c6 ("bpf: Optimize rcu_barrier usage between hash map and bpf_mem_alloc.").

As such, once all callbacks are done, we must also free the duplicated
record. To remove dependency on the bpf_map itself, also stash the key
size of the map to obtain value from htab_elem long after the map is
gone.

Kohei Enju b7bf516c3e bpf: Fix stack-out-of-bounds write in devmap
get_upper_ifindexes() iterates over all upper devices and writes their
indices into an array without checking bounds.

Also the callers assume that the max number of upper devices is
MAX_NEST_DEV and allocate excluded_devices[1+MAX_NEST_DEV] on the stack,
but that assumption is not correct and the number of upper devices could
be larger than MAX_NEST_DEV (e.g., many macvlans), causing a
stack-out-of-bounds write.

Add a max parameter to get_upper_ifindexes() to avoid the issue.
When there are too many upper devices, return -EOVERFLOW and abort the
redirect.

To reproduce, create more than MAX_NEST_DEV(8) macvlans on a device with
an XDP program attached using BPF_F_BROADCAST | BPF_F_EXCLUDE_INGRESS.
Then send a packet to the device to trigger the XDP redirect path.

Kaitao Cheng fb1590448f bpf: allow using bpf_kptr_xchg even if the MEM_RCU flag is set
For the following scenario:
    struct tree_node {
	struct bpf_refcount ref;
	struct bpf_rb_node node;
	struct node_data __kptr * node_data;
	u64 key;
    };
This means node_data would have the type PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC |
NON_OWN_REF | MEM_RCU.

When traversing an rbtree using bpf_rbtree_left/right, if we need to
use bpf_kptr_xchg to read the __kptr pointer, we still need to follow
the remove-read-add sequence.

This patch allows us to use bpf_kptr_xchg to directly read the __kptr
pointer without any prior operations.

When traversing an rbtree using bpf_rbtree_left/right, if bpf_kptr_xchg
is used to access the __kptr pointer contained in a node, it currently
requires first removing the node with bpf_rbtree_remove and clearing the
NON_OWN_REF flag, then re-adding the node to the original rbtree with
bpf_rbtree_add after usage. This process significantly degrades rbtree
traversal performance. The patch enables accessing __kptr pointers with
the NON_OWN_REF flag set while holding the lock, eliminating the need
for this remove-read-add sequence.
