[PATCH bpf-next v3 0/3] Use overflow.h helpers to check for overflows

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch set refactors kernel/bpf/verifier.c to use type-agnostic, generic
overflow-check helpers defined in include/linux/overflow.h to check for addition
and subtraction overflow, and drop the signed_*_overflows() helpers we currently
have in kernel/bpf/verifier.c; with a fix for overflow check in adjust_jmp_off()
in patch 1.

There should be no functional change in how the verifier works and  the main
motivation is to make future refactoring[1] easier.

While check_mul_overflow() also exists and could potentially replace what
we have in scalar*_min_max_mul(), it does not help with refactoring and
would either change how the verifier works (e.g. lifting restriction on
umax<=U32_MAX and u32_max<=U16_MAX) or make the code slightly harder to
read, so it is left for future endeavour.

Changes from v2 <https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240701055907.82481-1-shung-hsi.yu@xxxxxxxx>
- add fix for 5337ac4c9b80 ("bpf: Fix the corner case with may_goto and jump to
  the 1st insn.") to correct the overflow check for general jump instructions
- adapt to changes in commit 5337ac4c9b80 ("bpf: Fix the corner case with
  may_goto and jump to the 1st insn.")
  - refactor in adjust_jmp_off() as well and remove signed_add16_overflow()

Changes from v1 <https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240623070324.12634-1-shung-hsi.yu@xxxxxxxx>:
- use pointers to values in dst_reg directly as the sum/diff pointer and
  remove the else branch (Jiri)
- change local variables to be dst_reg pointers instead of src_reg values
- include comparison of generated assembly before & after the change
