With the latest trunk llvm (llvm 11), I hit a verifier issue for test_prog subtest test_verif_scale1. The following simplified example illustrate the issue: w9 = 0 /* R9_w=inv0 */ r8 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 80) /* __sk_buff->data_end */ r7 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 76) /* __sk_buff->data */ ...... w2 = w9 /* R2_w=inv0 */ r6 = r7 /* R6_w=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=0,imm=0) */ r6 += r2 /* R6_w=inv(id=0) */ r3 = r6 /* R3_w=inv(id=0) */ r3 += 14 /* R3_w=inv(id=0) */ if r3 > r8 goto end r5 = *(u32 *)(r6 + 0) /* R6_w=inv(id=0) */ <== error here: R6 invalid mem access 'inv' ... end: In real test_verif_scale1 code, "w9 = 0" and "w2 = w9" are in different basic blocks. In the above, after "r6 += r2", r6 becomes a scalar, which eventually caused the memory access error. The correct register state should be a pkt pointer. The inprecise register state starts at "w2 = w9". The 32bit register w9 is 0, in __reg_assign_32_into_64(), the 64bit reg->smax_value is assigned to be U32_MAX. The 64bit reg->smin_value is 0 and the 64bit register itself remains constant based on reg->var_off. In adjust_ptr_min_max_vals(), the verifier checks for a known constant, smin_val must be equal to smax_val. Since they are not equal, the verifier decides r6 is a unknown scalar, which caused later failure. The llvm10 does not have this issue as it generates different code: w9 = 0 /* R9_w=inv0 */ r8 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 80) /* __sk_buff->data_end */ r7 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 76) /* __sk_buff->data */ ...... r6 = r7 /* R6_w=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=0,imm=0) */ r6 += r9 /* R6_w=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=0,imm=0) */ r3 = r6 /* R3_w=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=0,imm=0) */ r3 += 14 /* R3_w=pkt(id=0,off=14,r=0,imm=0) */ if r3 > r8 goto end ... To fix the issue, if 32bit register is a const 0, then just assign max vaue 0 to 64bit register smax_value as well.
