[ Upstream commit e38e2c6a9efc435f9de344b7c91f7697e01b47d5 ]

Fix to update dynamic data counter ('dyndata') and max length ('maxlen')
only if the fetcharg uses the dynamic data. Also get out arg-&gt;dynamic
from unlikely(). This makes dynamic data address wrong if
process_fetch_insn() returns error on !arg-&gt;dynamic case.

[ Upstream commit 8565a45d0858078b63c7d84074a21a42ba9ebf01 ]

In preparation to allow event probes to use the process_fetch_insn()
callback in trace_probe_tmpl.h, change the data passed to it from a
pointer to pt_regs, as the event probe will not be using regs, and make it
a void pointer instead.

Update the process_fetch_insn() callers for kprobe and uprobe events to
have the regs defined in the function and just typecast the void pointer
parameter.

<title>ring-buffer: Do not swap cpu_buffer during resize process</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 8a96c0288d0737ad77882024974c075345c72011 ]

When ring_buffer_swap_cpu was called during resize process,
the cpu buffer was swapped in the middle, resulting in incorrect state.
Continuing to run in the wrong state will result in oops.

This issue can be easily reproduced using the following two scripts:
/tmp # cat test1.sh
//#! /bin/sh
for i in `seq 0 100000`
do
         echo 2000 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb
         sleep 0.5
         echo 5000 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb
         sleep 0.5
done
/tmp # cat test2.sh
//#! /bin/sh
for i in `seq 0 100000`
do
        echo irqsoff &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
        sleep 1
        echo nop &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
        sleep 1
done
/tmp # ./test1.sh &amp;
/tmp # ./test2.sh &amp;

A typical oops log is as follows, sometimes with other different oops logs.

If dma_direct_alloc() alloc memory in size of 64MB, the inner function
dma_common_contiguous_remap() will allocate 128KB memory by invoking
the function kmalloc_array(). and the kmalloc_array seems to fail to try to
allocate 128KB mem.

[ Upstream commit 7a830b53c17bbadcf99f778f28aaaa4e6c41df5f ]

Exploit the property of about-to-be-checkpointed state to be able to
forget all precise markings up to that point even more aggressively. We
now clear all potentially inherited precise markings right before
checkpointing and branching off into child state. If any of children
states require precise knowledge of any SCALAR register, those will be
propagated backwards later on before this state is finalized, preserving
correctness.

There is a single selftests BPF program change, but tremendous one: 25x
reduction in number of verified instructions and states in
trace_virtqueue_add_sgs.

Cilium results are more modest, but happen across wider range of programs.

[ Upstream commit f63181b6ae79fd3b034cde641db774268c2c3acf ]

Setting reg-&gt;precise to true in current state is not necessary from
correctness standpoint, but it does pessimise the whole precision (or
rather "imprecision", because that's what we want to keep as much as
possible) tracking. Why is somewhat subtle and my best attempt to
explain this is recorded in an extensive comment for __mark_chain_precise()
function. Some more careful thinking and code reading is probably required
still to grok this completely, unfortunately. Whiteboarding and a bunch
of extra handwaiving in person would be even more helpful, but is deemed
impractical in Git commit.

Next patch pushes this imprecision property even further, building on top of
the insights described in this patch.

End results are pretty nice, we get reduction in number of total instructions
and states verified due to a better states reuse, as some of the states are now
more generic and permissive due to less unnecessary precise=true requirements.

[ Upstream commit be2ef8161572ec1973124ebc50f56dafc2925e07 ]

Stop forcing precise=true for SCALAR registers when BPF program has any
subprograms. Current restriction means that any BPF program, as soon as
it uses subprograms, will end up not getting any of the precision
tracking benefits in reduction of number of verified states.

This patch keeps the fallback mark_all_scalars_precise() behavior if
precise marking has to cross function frames. E.g., if subprogram
requires R1 (first input arg) to be marked precise, ideally we'd need to
backtrack to the parent function and keep marking R1 and its
dependencies as precise. But right now we give up and force all the
SCALARs in any of the current and parent states to be forced to
precise=true. We can lift that restriction in the future.

But this patch fixes two issues identified when trying to enable
precision tracking for subprogs.

First, prevent "escaping" from top-most state in a global subprog. While
with entry-level BPF program we never end up requesting precision for
R1-R5 registers, because R2-R5 are not initialized (and so not readable
in correct BPF program), and R1 is PTR_TO_CTX, not SCALAR, and so is
implicitly precise. With global subprogs, though, it's different, as
global subprog a) can have up to 5 SCALAR input arguments, which might
get marked as precise=true and b) it is validated in isolation from its
main entry BPF program. b) means that we can end up exhausting parent
state chain and still not mark all registers in reg_mask as precise,
which would lead to verifier bug warning.

To handle that, we need to consider two cases. First, if the very first
state is not immediately "checkpointed" (i.e., stored in state lookup
hashtable), it will get correct first_insn_idx and last_insn_idx
instruction set during state checkpointing. As such, this case is
already handled and __mark_chain_precision() already handles that by
just doing nothing when we reach to the very first parent state.
st-&gt;parent will be NULL and we'll just stop. Perhaps some extra check
for reg_mask and stack_mask is due here, but this patch doesn't address
that issue.

More problematic second case is when global function's initial state is
immediately checkpointed before we manage to process the very first
instruction. This is happening because when there is a call to global
subprog from the main program the very first subprog's instruction is
marked as pruning point, so before we manage to process first
instruction we have to check and checkpoint state. This patch adds
a special handling for such "empty" state, which is identified by having
st-&gt;last_insn_idx set to -1. In such case, we check that we are indeed
validating global subprog, and with some sanity checking we mark input
args as precise if requested.

Note that we also initialize state-&gt;first_insn_idx with correct start
insn_idx offset. For main program zero is correct value, but for any
subprog it's quite confusing to not have first_insn_idx set. This
doesn't have any functional impact, but helps with debugging and state
printing. We also explicitly initialize state-&gt;last_insns_idx instead of
relying on is_state_visited() to do this with env-&gt;prev_insns_idx, which
will be -1 on the very first instruction. This concludes necessary
changes to handle specifically global subprog's precision tracking.

Second identified problem was missed handling of BPF helper functions
that call into subprogs (e.g., bpf_loop and few others). From precision
tracking and backtracking logic's standpoint those are effectively calls
into subprogs and should be called as BPF_PSEUDO_CALL calls.

This patch takes the least intrusive way and just checks against a short
list of current BPF helpers that do call subprogs, encapsulated in
is_callback_calling_function() function. But to prevent accidentally
forgetting to add new BPF helpers to this "list", we also do a sanity
check in __check_func_call, which has to be called for each such special
BPF helper, to validate that BPF helper is indeed recognized as
callback-calling one. This should catch any missed checks in the future.
Adding some special flags to be added in function proto definitions
seemed like an overkill in this case.

With the above changes, it's possible to remove forceful setting of
reg-&gt;precise to true in __mark_reg_unknown, which turns on precision
tracking both inside subprogs and entry progs that have subprogs. No
warnings or errors were detected across all the selftests, but also when
validating with veristat against internal Meta BPF objects and Cilium
objects. Further, in some BPF programs there are noticeable reduction in
number of states and instructions validated due to more effective
precision tracking, especially benefiting syncookie test.

<title>tracing: Fix sleeping while atomic in kdb ftdump</title>

commit 495fcec8648cdfb483b5b9ab310f3839f07cb3b8 upstream.

If you drop into kdb and type "ftdump" you'll get a sleeping while
atomic warning from memory allocation in trace_find_next_entry().

This appears to have been caused by commit ff895103a84a ("tracing:
Save off entry when peeking at next entry"), which added the
allocation in that path. The problematic commit was already fixed by
commit 8e99cf91b99b ("tracing: Do not allocate buffer in
trace_find_next_entry() in atomic") but that fix missed the kdb case.

The fix here is easy: just move the assignment of the static buffer to
the place where it should have been to begin with:
trace_init_global_iter(). That function is called in two places, once
is right before the assignment of the static buffer added by the
previous fix and once is in kdb.

Note that it appears that there's a second static buffer that we need
to assign that was added in commit efbbdaa22bb7 ("tracing: Show real
address for trace event arguments"), so we'll move that too.

<title>bpf: Disable preemption in bpf_event_output</title>

commit d62cc390c2e99ae267ffe4b8d7e2e08b6c758c32 upstream.

We received report [1] of kernel crash, which is caused by
using nesting protection without disabled preemption.

The bpf_event_output can be called by programs executed by
bpf_prog_run_array_cg function that disabled migration but
keeps preemption enabled.

This can cause task to be preempted by another one inside the
nesting protection and lead eventually to two tasks using same
perf_sample_data buffer and cause crashes like:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000001

commit 1af6239d1d3e61d33fd2f0ba53d3d1a67cc50574 upstream.

With the advent of CFI it is no longer acceptible to cast function
pointers.

The robot complains thusly:
