Arguments to a raw tracepoint are tagged as trusted, which carries the semantics that the pointer will be non-NULL. However, in certain cases, a raw tracepoint argument may end up being NULL. More context about this issue is available in [0]. Thus, there is a discrepancy between the reality, that raw_tp arguments can actually be NULL, and the verifier's knowledge, that they are never NULL, causing explicit NULL check branch to be dead code eliminated. A previous attempt [1], i.e. the second fixed commit, was made to simulate symbolic execution as if in most accesses, the argument is a non-NULL raw_tp, except for conditional jumps. This tried to suppress branch prediction while preserving compatibility, but surfaced issues with production programs that were difficult to solve without increasing verifier complexity. A more complete discussion of issues and fixes is available at [2]. Fix this by maintaining an explicit list of tracepoints where the arguments are known to be NULL, and mark the positional arguments as PTR_MAYBE_NULL. Additionally, capture the tracepoints where arguments are known to be ERR_PTR, and mark these arguments as scalar values to prevent potential dereference. Each hex digit is used to encode NULL-ness (0x1) or ERR_PTR-ness (0x2), shifted by the zero-indexed argument number x 4. This can be represented as follows: 1st arg: 0x1 2nd arg: 0x10 3rd arg: 0x100 ... and so on (likewise for ERR_PTR case). In the future, an automated pass will be used to produce such a list, or insert __nullable annotations automatically for tracepoints. Each compilation unit will be analyzed and results will be collated to find whether a tracepoint pointer is definitely not null, maybe null, or an unknown state where verifier conservatively marks it PTR_MAYBE_NULL. A proof of concept of this tool from Eduard is available at [3]. Note that in case we don't find a specification in the raw_tp_null_args array and the tracepoint belongs to a kernel module, we will conservatively mark the arguments as PTR_MAYBE_NULL. This is because unlike for in-tree modules, out-of-tree module tracepoints may pass NULL freely to the tracepoint. We don't protect against such tracepoints passing ERR_PTR (which is uncommon anyway), lest we mark all such arguments as SCALAR_VALUE. While we are it, let's adjust the test raw_tp_null to not perform dereference of the skb->mark, as that won't be allowed anymore, and make it more robust by using inline assembly to test the dead code elimination behavior, which should still stay the same.
