Commit f2362a57ae ("bpf: allow void* cast using bpf_rdonly_cast()")
added a notion of PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RDONLY | PTR_UNTRUSTED type.
This simultaneously introduced a bug in jump prediction logic for
situations like below:
p = bpf_rdonly_cast(..., 0);
if (p) a(); else b();
Here verifier would wrongly predict that else branch cannot be taken.
This happens because:
- Function reg_not_null() assumes that PTR_TO_MEM w/o PTR_MAYBE_NULL
flag cannot be zero.
- The call to bpf_rdonly_cast() returns a rdonly_untrusted_mem value
w/o PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag.
Tracking of PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag for untrusted PTR_TO_MEM does not make
sense, as the main purpose of the flag is to catch null pointer access
errors. Such errors are not possible on load of PTR_UNTRUSTED values
and verifier makes sure that PTR_UNTRUSTED can't be passed to helpers
or kfuncs.
Hence, modify reg_not_null() to assume that nullness of untrusted
PTR_TO_MEM is not known.
