af9e89d8dd bpf: Preserve id of register in sync_linked_regs()
sync_linked_regs() copies the id of known_reg to reg when propagating
bounds of known_reg to reg using the off of known_reg, but when
known_reg was linked to reg like:

known_reg = reg         ; both known_reg and reg get same id
known_reg += 4          ; known_reg gets off = 4, and its id gets BPF_ADD_CONST

now when a call to sync_linked_regs() happens, let's say with the following:

if known_reg >= 10 goto pc+2

known_reg's new bounds are propagated to reg but now reg gets
BPF_ADD_CONST from the copy.

This means if another link to reg is created like:

another_reg = reg       ; another_reg should get the id of reg but
                          assign_scalar_id_before_mov() sees
                          BPF_ADD_CONST on reg and assigns a new id to it.

As reg has a new id now, known_reg's link to reg is broken. If we find
new bounds for known_reg, they will not be propagated to reg.

This can be seen in the selftest added in the next commit:

0: (85) call bpf_get_prandom_u32#7    ; R0=scalar()
1: (57) r0 &= 255                     ; R0=scalar(smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=255,var_off=(0x0; 0xff))
2: (bf) r1 = r0                       ; R0=scalar(id=1,smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=255,var_off=(0x0; 0xff)) R1=scalar(id=1,smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=255,var_off=(0x0; 0xff))
3: (07) r1 += 4                       ; R1=scalar(id=1+4,smin=umin=smin32=umin32=4,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=259,var_off=(0x0; 0x1ff))
4: (a5) if r1 < 0xa goto pc+4         ; R1=scalar(id=1+4,smin=umin=smin32=umin32=10,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=259,var_off=(0x0; 0x1ff))
5: (bf) r2 = r0                       ; R0=scalar(id=2,smin=umin=smin32=umin32=6,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=255) R2=scalar(id=2,smin=umin=smin32=umin32=6,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=255)
6: (a5) if r1 < 0xe goto pc+2         ; R1=scalar(id=1+4,smin=umin=smin32=umin32=14,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=259,var_off=(0x0; 0x1ff))
7: (35) if r0 >= 0xa goto pc+1        ; R0=scalar(id=2,smin=umin=smin32=umin32=6,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=9,var_off=(0x0; 0xf))
8: (37) r0 /= 0
div by zero

When 4 is verified, r1's bounds are propagated to r0 but r0 also gets
BPF_ADD_CONST (bug).
When 5 is verified, r0 gets a new id (2) and its link with r1 is broken.

After 6 we know r1 has bounds [14, 259] and therefore r0 should have
bounds [10, 255], therefore the branch at 7 is always taken. But because
r0's id was changed to 2, r1's new bounds are not propagated to r0.
The verifier still thinks r0 has bounds [6, 255] before 7 and execution
can reach div by zero.

Fix this by preserving id in sync_linked_regs() like off and subreg_def.

f8ade2342e bpf: return PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_TRUSTED from BPF kfuncs by default
Teach the BPF verifier to treat pointers to struct types returned from
BPF kfuncs as implicitly trusted (PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_TRUSTED) by
default. Returning untrusted pointers to struct types from BPF kfuncs
should be considered an exception only, and certainly not the norm.

Update existing selftests to reflect the change in register type
printing (e.g. `ptr_` becoming `trusted_ptr_` in verifier error
messages).

bffacdb80b bpf: Recognize special arithmetic shift in the verifier
cilium bpf_wiregard.bpf.c when compiled with -O1 fails to load
with the following verifier log:

192: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r10 -304)     ; R2=pkt(r=40) R10=fp0 fp-304=pkt(r=40)
...
227: (85) call bpf_skb_store_bytes#9          ; R0=scalar()
228: (bc) w2 = w0                     ; R0=scalar() R2=scalar(smin=0,smax=umax=0xffffffff,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff))
229: (c4) w2 s>>= 31                  ; R2=scalar(smin=0,smax=umax=0xffffffff,smin32=-1,smax32=0,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff))
230: (54) w2 &= -134                  ; R2=scalar(smin=0,smax=umax=umax32=0xffffff7a,smax32=0x7fffff7a,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffff7a))
...
232: (66) if w2 s> 0xffffffff goto pc+125     ; R2=scalar(smin=umin=umin32=0x80000000,smax=umax=umax32=0xffffff7a,smax32=-134,var_off=(0x80000000; 0x7fffff7a))
...
238: (79) r4 = *(u64 *)(r10 -304)     ; R4=scalar() R10=fp0 fp-304=scalar()
239: (56) if w2 != 0xffffff78 goto pc+210     ; R2=0xffffff78 // -136
...
258: (71) r1 = *(u8 *)(r4 +0)
R4 invalid mem access 'scalar'

The error might confuse most bpf authors, since fp-304 slot had 'pkt'
pointer at insn 192 and became 'scalar' at 238. That happened because
bpf_skb_store_bytes() clears all packet pointers including those in
the stack. On the first glance it might look like a bug in the source
code, since ctx->data pointer should have been reloaded after the call
to bpf_skb_store_bytes().

The relevant part of cilium source code looks like this:

// bpf/lib/nodeport.h
int dsr_set_ipip6()
{
	if (ctx_adjust_hroom(...))
		return DROP_INVALID; // -134
	if (ctx_store_bytes(...))
		return DROP_WRITE_ERROR; // -141
	return 0;
}

bool dsr_fail_needs_reply(int code)
{
	if (code == DROP_FRAG_NEEDED) // -136
		return true;
	return false;
}

tail_nodeport_ipv6_dsr()
{
	ret = dsr_set_ipip6(...);
	if (!IS_ERR(ret)) {
		...
	} else {
		if (dsr_fail_needs_reply(ret))
			return dsr_reply_icmp6(...);
	}
}

The code doesn't have arithmetic shift by 31 and it reloads ctx->data
every time it needs to access it. So it's not a bug in the source code.

The reason is DAGCombiner::foldSelectCCToShiftAnd() LLVM transformation:

  // If this is a select where the false operand is zero and the compare is a
  // check of the sign bit, see if we can perform the "gzip trick":
  // select_cc setlt X, 0, A, 0 -> and (sra X, size(X)-1), A
  // select_cc setgt X, 0, A, 0 -> and (not (sra X, size(X)-1)), A

The conditional branch in dsr_set_ipip6() and its return values
are optimized into BPF_ARSH plus BPF_AND:

227: (85) call bpf_skb_store_bytes#9
228: (bc) w2 = w0
229: (c4) w2 s>>= 31   ; R2=scalar(smin=0,smax=umax=0xffffffff,smin32=-1,smax32=0,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff))
230: (54) w2 &= -134   ; R2=scalar(smin=0,smax=umax=umax32=0xffffff7a,smax32=0x7fffff7a,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffff7a))

after insn 230 the register w2 can only be 0 or -134,
but the verifier approximates it, since there is no way to
represent two scalars in bpf_reg_state.
After fallthough at insn 232 the w2 can only be -134,
hence the branch at insn
239: (56) if w2 != -136 goto pc+210
should be always taken, and trapping insn 258 should never execute.
LLVM generated correct code, but the verifier follows impossible
path and rejects valid program. To fix this issue recognize this
special LLVM optimization and fork the verifier state.
So after insn 229: (c4) w2 s>>= 31
the verifier has two states to explore:
one with w2 = 0 and another with w2 = 0xffffffff
which makes the verifier accept bpf_wiregard.c

A similar pattern exists were OR operation is used in place of the AND
operation, the verifier detects that pattern as well by forking the
state before the OR operation with a scalar in range [-1,0].

Note there are 20+ such patterns in bpf_wiregard.o compiled
with -O1 and -O2, but they're rarely seen in other production
bpf programs, so push_stack() approach is not a concern.

b40a5d724f bpf: crypto: Use the correct destructor kfunc type
With CONFIG_CFI enabled, the kernel strictly enforces that indirect

self-tests:

  CFI failure at bpf_obj_free_fields+0x190/0x238 (target:

  ...

As bpf_crypto_ctx_release() is also used in BPF programs and using
a void pointer as the argument would make the verifier unhappy, add
a simple stub function with the correct type and register it as the
destructor kfunc instead.

9df5fad801 bpf: Reject BPF_MAP_TYPE_INSN_ARRAY in check_reg_const_str()
BPF_MAP_TYPE_INSN_ARRAY maps store instruction pointers in their
ips array, not string data. The map_direct_value_addr callback for
this map type returns the address of the ips array, which is not
suitable for use as a constant string argument.

When a BPF program passes a pointer to an insn_array map value as
ARG_PTR_TO_CONST_STR (e.g., to bpf_snprintf), the verifier's
null-termination check in check_reg_const_str() operates on the
wrong memory region, and at runtime bpf_bprintf_prepare() can read
out of bounds searching for a null terminator.

Reject BPF_MAP_TYPE_INSN_ARRAY in check_reg_const_str() since this
map type is not designed to hold string data.

a069190b59 bpf: Replace __opt annotation with __nullable for kfuncs
The __opt annotation was originally introduced specifically for
buffer/size argument pairs in bpf_dynptr_slice() and
bpf_dynptr_slice_rdwr(), allowing the buffer pointer to be NULL while
still validating the size as a constant.  The __nullable annotation
serves the same purpose but is more general and is already used
throughout the BPF subsystem for raw tracepoints, struct_ops, and other
kfuncs.

This patch unifies the two annotations by replacing __opt with
__nullable.  The key change is in the verifier's
get_kfunc_ptr_arg_type() function, where mem/size pair detection is now
performed before the nullable check.  This ensures that buffer/size
pairs are correctly classified as KF_ARG_PTR_TO_MEM_SIZE even when the
buffer is nullable, while adding an !arg_mem_size condition to the
nullable check prevents interference with mem/size pair handling.

When processing KF_ARG_PTR_TO_MEM_SIZE arguments, the verifier now uses
is_kfunc_arg_nullable() instead of the removed is_kfunc_arg_optional()
to determine whether to skip size validation for NULL buffers.

This is the first documentation added for the __nullable annotation,
which has been in use since it was introduced but was previously
undocumented.

No functional changes to verifier behavior - nullable buffer/size pairs
continue to work exactly as before.

1a5c01d250 bpf: Make KF_TRUSTED_ARGS the default for all kfuncs
Change the verifier to make trusted args the default requirement for
all kfuncs by removing is_kfunc_trusted_args() assuming it be to always
return true.

This works because:
1. Context pointers (xdp_md, __sk_buff, etc.) are handled through their
   own KF_ARG_PTR_TO_CTX case label and bypass the trusted check
2. Struct_ops callback arguments are already marked as PTR_TRUSTED during
   initialization and pass is_trusted_reg()
3. KF_RCU kfuncs are handled separately via is_kfunc_rcu() checks at
   call sites (always checked with || alongside is_kfunc_trusted_args)

This simple change makes all kfuncs require trusted args by default
while maintaining correct behavior for all existing special cases.

Note: This change means kfuncs that previously accepted NULL pointers
without KF_TRUSTED_ARGS will now reject NULL at verification time.
Several netfilter kfuncs are affected: bpf_xdp_ct_lookup(),
bpf_skb_ct_lookup(), bpf_xdp_ct_alloc(), and bpf_skb_ct_alloc() all
accept NULL for their bpf_tuple and opts parameters internally (checked
in __bpf_nf_ct_lookup), but after this change the verifier rejects NULL
before the kfunc is even called. This is acceptable because these kfuncs
don't work with NULL parameters in their proper usage. Now they will be
rejected rather than returning an error, which shouldn't make a
difference to BPF programs that were using these kfuncs properly.

840692326e bpf: allow states pruning for misc/invalid slots in iterator loops
Within an iterator or callback based loop, it should be safe to prune
the current state if the old state stack slot is marked as
STACK_INVALID or STACK_MISC:
- either all branches of the old state lead to a program exit;
- or some branch of the old state leads the current state.

This is the same logic as applied in non-loop cases when
states_equal() is called in NOT_EXACT mode.

The test case that exercises stacksafe() and demonstrates the
difference in verification performance is included in the next patch.
I'm not sure if it is possible to prepare a test case that exercises
regsafe(); it appears that the compute_live_registers() pass makes
this impossible.

Nevertheless, for code readability reasons, I think that stacksafe()
and regsafe() should handle STACK_INVALID / NOT_INIT symmetrically.
Hence, this commit changes both functions.

f597664454 bpf: bpf_scc_visit instance and backedges accumulation for bpf_loop()
Calls like bpf_loop() or bpf_for_each_map_elem() introduce loops that
are not explicitly present in the control-flow graph. The verifier
processes such calls by repeatedly interpreting the callback function
body within the same verification path (until the current state
converges with a previous state).

Such loops require a bpf_scc_visit instance in order to allow the
accumulation of the state graph backedges. Otherwise, certain
checkpoint states created within the bodies of such loops will have
incomplete precision marks.

See the next patch for an example of a program that leads to the
verifier accepting an unsafe program.

b8467290ed bpf: arena: make arena kfuncs any context safe
Make arena related kfuncs any context safe by the following changes:

bpf_arena_alloc_pages() and bpf_arena_reserve_pages():
Replace the usage of the mutex with a rqspinlock for range tree and use
kmalloc_nolock() wherever needed. Use free_pages_nolock() to free pages
from any context.
apply_range_set/clear_cb() with apply_to_page_range() has already made
populating the vm_area in bpf_arena_alloc_pages() any context safe.

bpf_arena_free_pages(): defer the main logic to a workqueue if it is
called from a non-sleepable context.

specialize_kfunc() is used to replace the sleepable arena_free_pages()
with bpf_arena_free_pages_non_sleepable() when the verifier detects the
call is from a non-sleepable context.

In the non-sleepable case, arena_free_pages() queues the address and the
page count to be freed to a lock-less list of struct arena_free_spans
and raises an irq_work. The irq_work handler calls schedules_work() as
it is safe to be called from irq context.  arena_free_worker() (the work
queue handler) iterates these spans and clears ptes, flushes tlb, zaps
pages, and calls __free_page().

ac1c5bc7c4 bpf: crypto: replace -EEXIST with -EBUSY
The -EEXIST error code is reserved by the module loading infrastructure
to indicate that a module is already loaded. When a module's init
function returns -EEXIST, userspace tools like kmod interpret this as
"module already loaded" and treat the operation as successful, returning
0 to the user even though the module initialization actually failed.

This follows the precedent set by commit 54416fd767 ("netfilter:
conntrack: helper: Replace -EEXIST by -EBUSY") which fixed the same
issue in nf_conntrack_helper_register().

This affects bpf_crypto_skcipher module. While the configuration
required to build it as a module is unlikely in practice, it is
technically possible, so fix it for correctness.

94e948b7e6 bpf: annotate file argument as __nullable in bpf_lsm_mmap_file
As reported in [0], anonymous memory mappings are not backed by a
struct file instance. Consequently, the struct file pointer passed to
the security_mmap_file() LSM hook is NULL in such cases.

The BPF verifier is currently unaware of this, allowing BPF LSM
programs to dereference this struct file pointer without needing to
perform an explicit NULL check. This leads to potential NULL pointer
dereference and a kernel crash.

Add a strong override for bpf_lsm_mmap_file() which annotates the
struct file pointer parameter with the __nullable suffix. This
explicitly informs the BPF verifier that this pointer (PTR_MAYBE_NULL)
can be NULL, forcing BPF LSM programs to perform a check on it before
dereferencing it.

c3e34f88f9 bpf: arm64: Optimize recursion detection by not using atomics
BPF programs detect recursion using a per-CPU 'active' flag in struct
bpf_prog. The trampoline currently sets/clears this flag with atomic
operations.

On some arm64 platforms (e.g., Neoverse V2 with LSE), per-CPU atomic
operations are relatively slow. Unlike x86_64 - where per-CPU updates
can avoid cross-core atomicity, arm64 LSE atomics are always atomic
across all cores, which is unnecessary overhead for strictly per-CPU
state.

This patch removes atomics from the recursion detection path on arm64 by
changing 'active' to a per-CPU array of four u8 counters, one per
context: {NMI, hard-irq, soft-irq, normal}. The running context uses a
non-atomic increment/decrement on its element.  After increment,
recursion is detected by reading the array as a u32 and verifying that
only the expected element changed; any change in another element
indicates inter-context recursion, and a value > 1 in the same element
indicates same-context recursion.

For example, starting from {0,0,0,0}, a normal-context trigger changes
the array to {0,0,0,1}.  If an NMI arrives on the same CPU and triggers
the program, the array becomes {1,0,0,1}. When the NMI context checks
the u32 against the expected mask for normal (0x00000001), it observes
0x01000001 and correctly reports recursion. Same-context recursion is
detected analogously.

12a1fe6e12 bpf/verifier: Do not limit maximum direct offset into arena map
The verifier currently limits direct offsets into a map to 512MiB
to avoid overflow during pointer arithmetic. However, this prevents
arena maps from using direct addressing instructions to access data
at the end of > 512MiB arena maps. This is necessary when moving
arena globals to the end of the arena instead of the front.

Refactor the verifier code to remove the offset calculation during
direct value access calculations. This is possible because the only
two map types that implement .map_direct_value_addr() are arrays and
arenas, and they both do their own internal checks to ensure the
offset is within bounds.

Adjust selftests that expect the old error. These tests still fail
because the verifier identifies the access as out of bounds for the
map, so change them to expect an "invalid access to map value pointer"
error instead.

48e11bad9a bpf: cpumap: propagate underlying error in cpu_map_update_elem()
After commit 9216477449 ("bpf: cpumap: Add the possibility to attach

errors other than -ENOMEM, such as -EBADF or -EINVAL.

However, __cpu_map_entry_alloc() returns NULL on all failures, and
cpu_map_update_elem() unconditionally converts this NULL into -ENOMEM.
As a result, user space always receives -ENOMEM regardless of the actual
underlying error.

Examples of unexpected behavior:
  - Nonexistent fd  : -ENOMEM (should be -EBADF)
  - Non-BPF fd      : -ENOMEM (should be -EINVAL)
  - Bad attach type : -ENOMEM (should be -EINVAL)

Change __cpu_map_entry_alloc() to return ERR_PTR(err) instead of NULL
and have cpu_map_update_elem() propagate this error.

234483565d bpf: Fix truncated dmabuf iterator reads
If there is a large number (hundreds) of dmabufs allocated, the text
output generated from dmabuf_iter_seq_show can exceed common user buffer
sizes (e.g. PAGE_SIZE) necessitating multiple start/stop cycles to
iterate through all dmabufs. However the dmabuf iterator currently
returns NULL in dmabuf_iter_seq_start for all non-zero pos values, which
results in the truncation of the output before all dmabufs are handled.

After dma_buf_iter_begin / dma_buf_iter_next, the refcount of the buffer
is elevated so that the BPF iterator program can run without holding any
locks. When a stop occurs, instead of immediately dropping the reference
on the buffer, stash a pointer to the buffer in seq->priv until
either start is called or the iterator is released. This also enables
the resumption of iteration without first walking through the list of
dmabufs based on the pos value.

ca45c84afb bpf: Add bpf_has_frame_pointer()
Introduce a bpf_has_frame_pointer() helper that unwinders can call to
determine whether a given instruction pointer is within the valid frame
pointer region of a BPF JIT program or trampoline (i.e., after the
prologue, before the epilogue).

This will enable livepatch (with the ORC unwinder) to reliably unwind
through BPF JIT frames.

b5709f6d26 bpf: Support associating BPF program with struct_ops
Add a new BPF command BPF_PROG_ASSOC_STRUCT_OPS to allow associating
a BPF program with a struct_ops map. This command takes a file
descriptor of a struct_ops map and a BPF program and set
prog->aux->st_ops_assoc to the kdata of the struct_ops map.

The command does not accept a struct_ops program nor a non-struct_ops
map. Programs of a struct_ops map is automatically associated with the
map during map update. If a program is shared between two struct_ops
maps, prog->aux->st_ops_assoc will be poisoned to indicate that the
associated struct_ops is ambiguous. The pointer, once poisoned, cannot
be reset since we have lost track of associated struct_ops. For other
program types, the associated struct_ops map, once set, cannot be
changed later. This restriction may be lifted in the future if there is
a use case.

A kernel helper bpf_prog_get_assoc_struct_ops() can be used to retrieve
the associated struct_ops pointer. The returned pointer, if not NULL, is
guaranteed to be valid and point to a fully updated struct_ops struct.
For struct_ops program reused in multiple struct_ops map, the return
will be NULL.

prog->aux->st_ops_assoc is protected by bumping the refcount for
non-struct_ops programs and RCU for struct_ops programs. Since it would
be inefficient to track programs associated with a struct_ops map, every
non-struct_ops program will bump the refcount of the map to make sure
st_ops_assoc stays valid. For a struct_ops program, it is protected by
RCU as map_free will wait for an RCU grace period before disassociating
the program with the map. The helper must be called in BPF program
context or RCU read-side critical section.

struct_ops implementers should note that the struct_ops returned may not
be initialized nor attached yet. The struct_ops implementer will be
responsible for tracking and checking the state of the associated
struct_ops map if the use case expects an initialized or attached
struct_ops.

1588c81b9f bpf: Allow verifier to fixup kernel module kfuncs
Allow verifier to fixup kfuncs in kernel module to support kfuncs with
__prog arguments. Currently, special kfuncs and kfuncs with __prog
arguments are kernel kfuncs. Allowing kernel module kfuncs should not
affect existing kfunc fixup as kernel module kfuncs have BTF IDs greater
than kernel kfuncs' BTF IDs.

7cd122b552 Merge tag 'pull-persistency' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull persistent dentry infrastructure and conversion from Al Viro:
 "Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to
  pin dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing
  those). A reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually
  _stored_ anywhere.

  That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other things, we
  have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended to be an
  unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether the
  reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if that
  removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is
  pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using
  kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special
  cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self).

  Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag
  (DCACHE_PERSISTENT) marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set
  claims responsibility for +1 in refcount.

  The end result this series is aiming for:

   - get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives
     that would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear
     persistency flag.

   - instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the
     remaining "leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't
     been removed prior to umount), have the regular
     shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries,
     dropping the corresponding reference if it had been set. After that
     kill_litter_super() becomes an equivalent of kill_anon_super().

  Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many
  places in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series.

  This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary
  pieces have already gone into mainline. This chunk is finally getting
  to the meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions
  to it.

  Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of
  that stuff is here"
