====================
bpf: Copy per-CPU map value padding in copy_map_value_long()

Sashiko reported [1]:

This is a pre-existing issue, but does iterating over per-CPU maps expose
uninitialized kernel heap memory?

When working with per-CPU maps, temporary buffers are allocated using kmalloc
without the __GFP_ZERO flag in functions like bpf_iter_init_array_map in
kernel/bpf/arraymap.c:

kernel/bpf/arraymap.c:bpf_iter_init_array_map() {
    ...
    value_buf = kmalloc(buf_size, GFP_USER | __GFP_NOWARN);
    ...
}

This is also done in kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:bpf_iter_init_hash_map().

If the map contains a BTF record, bpf_obj_memcpy in include/linux/bpf.h
explicitly stops at map->value_size instead of filling the entire rounded-up
size:

include/linux/bpf.h:bpf_obj_memcpy() {
    ...
    memcpy(dst + curr_off, src + curr_off, size - curr_off);
    ...
}

This fails to overwrite the padding bytes up to round_up(map->value_size, 8).

===
For example,

struct map_uninit_value {
	struct prog_test_ref_kfunc __kptr_untrusted *unref_ptr;
	__u32 data;
} __attribute__((packed));

struct {
	__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY);
	__type(key, int);
	__type(value, struct map_uninit_value);
	__uint(max_entries, 1);
} pcpu_array SEC(".maps");

There are 4 padding bytes in the kernel percpu_array map elements.

When lookup element from 'pcpu_array' map, for each CPU, the 4 padding
bytes memory allocated by syscall.c::map_lookup_elem():kvmalloc() could
be exposed to user space.

Without the fix, the selftest could fail with:

test_map_uninit_mem_exposure:FAIL:zeroed tail bytes unexpected memory
mismatch
actual:
	2B 2B 2B 2B
expected:
	00 00 00 00
