From: John Fastabend &lt;john.fastabend@gmail.com&gt;

commit 294f2fc6da27620a506e6c050241655459ccd6bd upstream.

Currently, for all op verification we call __red_deduce_bounds() and
__red_bound_offset() but we only call __update_reg_bounds() in bitwise
ops. However, we could benefit from calling __update_reg_bounds() in
BPF_ADD, BPF_SUB, and BPF_MUL cases as well.

For example, a register with state 'R1_w=invP0' when we subtract from
it,

 w1 -= 2

Before coerce we will now have an smin_value=S64_MIN, smax_value=U64_MAX
and unsigned bounds umin_value=0, umax_value=U64_MAX. These will then
be clamped to S32_MIN, U32_MAX values by coerce in the case of alu32 op
as done in above example. However tnum will be a constant because the
ALU op is done on a constant.

Without update_reg_bounds() we have a scenario where tnum is a const
but our unsigned bounds do not reflect this. By calling update_reg_bounds
after coerce to 32bit we further refine the umin_value to U64_MAX in the
alu64 case or U32_MAX in the alu32 case above.

commit 0326195f523a549e0a9d7fd44c70b26fd7265090 upstream.

Classic BPF has a way to load bytes starting from the mac header.

Some skbs do not have a mac header, and skb_mac_header()
in this case is returning a pointer that 65535 bytes after
skb-&gt;head.

Existing range check in bpf_internal_load_pointer_neg_helper()
was properly kicking and no illegal access was happening.

New sanity check in skb_mac_header() is firing, so we need
to avoid it.

<content type='text'>
commit 08389d888287c3823f80b0216766b71e17f0aba5 upstream.

Add a kconfig knob which allows for unprivileged bpf to be disabled by default.
If set, the knob sets /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled to value of 2.

This still allows a transition of 2 -&gt; {0,1} through an admin. Similarly,
this also still keeps 1 -&gt; {1} behavior intact, so that once set to permanently
disabled, it cannot be undone aside from a reboot.

We've also added extra2 with max of 2 for the procfs handler, so that an admin
still has a chance to toggle between 0 &lt;-&gt; 2.

Either way, as an additional alternative, applications can make use of CAP_BPF
that we added a while ago.

<title>bpf: Fix the off-by-two error in range markings</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 2fa7d94afc1afbb4d702760c058dc2d7ed30f226 upstream.

The first commit cited below attempts to fix the off-by-one error that
appeared in some comparisons with an open range. Due to this error,
arithmetically equivalent pieces of code could get different verdicts
from the verifier, for example (pseudocode):

  // 1. Passes the verifier:
  if (data + 8 &gt; data_end)
      return early
  read *(u64 *)data, i.e. [data; data+7]

  // 2. Rejected by the verifier (should still pass):
  if (data + 7 &gt;= data_end)
      return early
  read *(u64 *)data, i.e. [data; data+7]

The attempted fix, however, shifts the range by one in a wrong
direction, so the bug not only remains, but also such piece of code
starts failing in the verifier:

  // 3. Rejected by the verifier, but the check is stricter than in #1.
  if (data + 8 &gt;= data_end)
      return early
  read *(u64 *)data, i.e. [data; data+7]

The change performed by that fix converted an off-by-one bug into
off-by-two. The second commit cited below added the BPF selftests
written to ensure than code chunks like #3 are rejected, however,
they should be accepted.

This commit fixes the off-by-two error by adjusting new_range in the
right direction and fixes the tests by changing the range into the
one that should actually fail.

[ Upstream commit 30e29a9a2bc6a4888335a6ede968b75cd329657a ]

In prealloc_elems_and_freelist(), the multiplication to calculate the
size passed to bpf_map_area_alloc() could lead to an integer overflow.
As a result, out-of-bounds write could occur in pcpu_freelist_populate()
as reported by KASAN:

The possibility of this overflow was originally discussed in [0], but

Fix the integer overflow by changing elem_size to u64 from u32.

<title>bpf: Fix pointer arithmetic mask tightening under state pruning</title>

<content type='text'>
commit e042aa532c84d18ff13291d00620502ce7a38dda upstream.

In 7fedb63a8307 ("bpf: Tighten speculative pointer arithmetic mask") we
narrowed the offset mask for unprivileged pointer arithmetic in order to
mitigate a corner case where in the speculative domain it is possible to
advance, for example, the map value pointer by up to value_size-1 out-of-
bounds in order to leak kernel memory via side-channel to user space.

The verifier's state pruning for scalars leaves one corner case open
where in the first verification path R_x holds an unknown scalar with an
aux-&gt;alu_limit of e.g. 7, and in a second verification path that same
register R_x, here denoted as R_x', holds an unknown scalar which has
tighter bounds and would thus satisfy range_within(R_x, R_x') as well as
tnum_in(R_x, R_x') for state pruning, yielding an aux-&gt;alu_limit of 3:
Given the second path fits the register constraints for pruning, the final
generated mask from aux-&gt;alu_limit will remain at 7. While technically
not wrong for the non-speculative domain, it would however be possible
to craft similar cases where the mask would be too wide as in 7fedb63a8307.

One way to fix it is to detect the presence of unknown scalar map pointer
arithmetic and force a deeper search on unknown scalars to ensure that
we do not run into a masking mismatch.

commit c9e73e3d2b1eb1ea7ff068e05007eec3bd8ef1c9 upstream.

func_states_equal makes a very short lived allocation for idmap,
probably because it's too large to fit on the stack. However the
function is called quite often, leading to a lot of alloc / free
churn. Replace the temporary allocation with dedicated scratch
space in struct bpf_verifier_env.

commit 2039f26f3aca5b0e419b98f65dd36481337b86ee upstream.

Spectre v4 gadgets make use of memory disambiguation, which is a set of
techniques that execute memory access instructions, that is, loads and
stores, out of program order; Intel's optimization manual, section 2.4.4.5:

  A load instruction micro-op may depend on a preceding store. Many
  microarchitectures block loads until all preceding store addresses are
  known. The memory disambiguator predicts which loads will not depend on
  any previous stores. When the disambiguator predicts that a load does
  not have such a dependency, the load takes its data from the L1 data
  cache. Eventually, the prediction is verified. If an actual conflict is
  detected, the load and all succeeding instructions are re-executed.

af86ca4e3088 ("bpf: Prevent memory disambiguation attack") tried to mitigate
this attack by sanitizing the memory locations through preemptive "fast"
(low latency) stores of zero prior to the actual "slow" (high latency) store
of a pointer value such that upon dependency misprediction the CPU then
speculatively executes the load of the pointer value and retrieves the zero
value instead of the attacker controlled scalar value previously stored at
that location, meaning, subsequent access in the speculative domain is then
redirected to the "zero page".

The sanitized preemptive store of zero prior to the actual "slow" store is
done through a simple ST instruction based on r10 (frame pointer) with
relative offset to the stack location that the verifier has been tracking
on the original used register for STX, which does not have to be r10. Thus,
there are no memory dependencies for this store, since it's only using r10
and immediate constant of zero; hence af86ca4e3088 /assumed/ a low latency
operation.

However, a recent attack demonstrated that this mitigation is not sufficient
since the preemptive store of zero could also be turned into a "slow" store
and is thus bypassed as well:

  [...]
  // r2 = oob address (e.g. scalar)
  // r7 = pointer to map value
  31: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -16) = r2
  // r9 will remain "fast" register, r10 will become "slow" register below
  32: (bf) r9 = r10
  // JIT maps BPF reg to x86 reg:
  //  r9  -&gt; r15 (callee saved)
  //  r10 -&gt; rbp

  // domain this contains r7, and thus accesses r7 +0 below.
  554: (71) r3 = *(u8 *)(r2 +0)
  // leak r3

As can be seen, the current speculative store bypass mitigation which the
verifier inserts at line 551 is insufficient since /both/, the write of
the zero sanitation as well as the map value pointer are a high latency
instruction due to prior memory access via push/pop of r10 (rbp) in contrast
to the low latency read in line 553 as r9 (r15) which stays in hardware
registers. Thus, architecturally, fp-16 is r7, however, microarchitecturally,
fp-16 can still be r2.

Initial thoughts to address this issue was to track spilled pointer loads
from stack and enforce their load via LDX through r10 as well so that /both/
the preemptive store of zero /as well as/ the load use the /same/ register
such that a dependency is created between the store and load. However, this
option is not sufficient either since it can be bypassed as well under
speculation. An updated attack with pointer spill/fills now _all_ based on
r10 would look as follows:

  [...]
  // r2 = oob address (e.g. scalar)
  // r7 = pointer to map value
  [...]
  // longer store forward prediction training sequence than before.

  2102: (71) r3 = *(u8 *)(r2 +0)
  // leak r3
  [...]

Looking at the CPU microarchitecture, the scheduler might issue loads (such
as seen in line 2101) before stores (line 2099,2100) because the load execution
units become available while the store execution unit is still busy with the
sequence of dummy stores (line 2069-2098). And so the load may use the prior
stored scalar from r2 at address r10 -16 for speculation. The updated attack
may work less reliable on CPU microarchitectures where loads and stores share
execution resources.

This concludes that the sanitizing with zero stores from af86ca4e3088 ("bpf:
Prevent memory disambiguation attack") is insufficient. Moreover, the detection
of stack reuse from af86ca4e3088 where previously data (STACK_MISC) has been
written to a given stack slot where a pointer value is now to be stored does
not have sufficient coverage as precondition for the mitigation either; for
several reasons outlined as follows:

 1) Stack content from prior program runs could still be preserved and is
    therefore not "random", best example is to split a speculative store
    bypass attack between tail calls, program A would prepare and store the
    oob address at a given stack slot and then tail call into program B which
    does the "slow" store of a pointer to the stack with subsequent "fast"
    read. From program B PoV such stack slot type is STACK_INVALID, and
    therefore also must be subject to mitigation.

 2) The STACK_SPILL must not be coupled to register_is_const(&amp;stack-&gt;spilled_ptr)
    condition, for example, the previous content of that memory location could
    also be a pointer to map or map value. Without the fix, a speculative
    store bypass is not mitigated in such precondition and can then lead to
    a type confusion in the speculative domain leaking kernel memory near
    these pointer types.

While brainstorming on various alternative mitigation possibilities, we also
stumbled upon a retrospective from Chrome developers [0]:

  [...] For variant 4, we implemented a mitigation to zero the unused memory
  of the heap prior to allocation, which cost about 1% when done concurrently
  and 4% for scavenging. Variant 4 defeats everything we could think of. We
  explored more mitigations for variant 4 but the threat proved to be more
  pervasive and dangerous than we anticipated. For example, stack slots used
  by the register allocator in the optimizing compiler could be subject to
  type confusion, leading to pointer crafting. Mitigating type confusion for
  stack slots alone would have required a complete redesign of the backend of
  the optimizing compiler, perhaps man years of work, without a guarantee of
  completeness. [...]

&gt;From BPF side, the problem space is reduced, however, options are rather
limited. One idea that has been explored was to xor-obfuscate pointer spills
to the BPF stack:

  [...]
  // preoccupy the CPU store port by running sequence of dummy stores.
  [...]
  2106: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29796) = r0
  2107: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29800) = r0
  2108: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29804) = r0
  2109: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29808) = r0
  2110: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29812) = r0
  // overwrite scalar with dummy pointer; xored with random 'secret' value
  // of 943576462 before store ...
  2111: (b4) w11 = 943576462
  2112: (af) r11 ^= r7
  2113: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -16) = r11
  2114: (79) r11 = *(u64 *)(r10 -16)
  2115: (b4) w2 = 943576462
  2116: (af) r2 ^= r11
  // ... and restored with the same 'secret' value with the help of AX reg.
  2117: (71) r3 = *(u8 *)(r2 +0)
  [...]

While the above would not prevent speculation, it would make data leakage
infeasible by directing it to random locations. In order to be effective
and prevent type confusion under speculation, such random secret would have
to be regenerated for each store. The additional complexity involved for a
tracking mechanism that prevents jumps such that restoring spilled pointers
would not get corrupted is not worth the gain for unprivileged. Hence, the
fix in here eventually opted for emitting a non-public BPF_ST | BPF_NOSPEC
instruction which the x86 JIT translates into a lfence opcode. Inserting the
latter in between the store and load instruction is one of the mitigations
options [1]. The x86 instruction manual notes:

  [...] An LFENCE that follows an instruction that stores to memory might
  complete before the data being stored have become globally visible. [...]

The latter meaning that the preceding store instruction finished execution
and the store is at minimum guaranteed to be in the CPU's store queue, but
it's not guaranteed to be in that CPU's L1 cache at that point (globally
visible). The latter would only be guaranteed via sfence. So the load which
is guaranteed to execute after the lfence for that local CPU would have to
rely on store-to-load forwarding. [2], in section 2.3 on store buffers says:

  [...] For every store operation that is added to the ROB, an entry is
  allocated in the store buffer. This entry requires both the virtual and
  physical address of the target. Only if there is no free entry in the store
  buffer, the frontend stalls until there is an empty slot available in the
  store buffer again. Otherwise, the CPU can immediately continue adding
  subsequent instructions to the ROB and execute them out of order. On Intel
  CPUs, the store buffer has up to 56 entries. [...]

One small upside on the fix is that it lifts constraints from af86ca4e3088
where the sanitize_stack_off relative to r10 must be the same when coming
from different paths. The BPF_ST | BPF_NOSPEC gets emitted after a BPF_STX
or BPF_ST instruction. This happens either when we store a pointer or data
value to the BPF stack for the first time, or upon later pointer spills.
The former needs to be enforced since otherwise stale stack data could be
leaked under speculation as outlined earlier. For non-x86 JITs the BPF_ST |
BPF_NOSPEC mapping is currently optimized away, but others could emit a
speculation barrier as well if necessary. For real-world unprivileged
programs e.g. generated by LLVM, pointer spill/fill is only generated upon
register pressure and LLVM only tries to do that for pointers which are not
used often. The program main impact will be the initial BPF_ST | BPF_NOSPEC
sanitation for the STACK_INVALID case when the first write to a stack slot
occurs e.g. upon map lookup. In future we might refine ways to mitigate
the latter cost.

commit f5e81d1117501546b7be050c5fbafa6efd2c722c upstream.

In case of JITs, each of the JIT backends compiles the BPF nospec instruction
/either/ to a machine instruction which emits a speculation barrier /or/ to
/no/ machine instruction in case the underlying architecture is not affected
by Speculative Store Bypass or has different mitigations in place already.

This covers both x86 and (implicitly) arm64: In case of x86, we use 'lfence'
instruction for mitigation. In case of arm64, we rely on the firmware mitigation
as controlled via the ssbd kernel parameter. Whenever the mitigation is enabled,
it works for all of the kernel code with no need to provide any additional
instructions here (hence only comment in arm64 JIT). Other archs can follow
as needed. The BPF nospec instruction is specifically targeting Spectre v4
since i) we don't use a serialization barrier for the Spectre v1 case, and
ii) mitigation instructions for v1 and v4 might be different on some archs.

The BPF nospec is required for a future commit, where the BPF verifier does
annotate intermediate BPF programs with speculation barriers.
