I had a sockmap program that after doing some refactoring started spewing this splat at me: [18610.807284] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000001 [...] [18610.807359] Call Trace: [18610.807370] ? 0xffffffffc114d0d5 [18610.807382] __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_sock_ops+0x7d/0xb0 [18610.807391] tcp_connect+0x895/0xd50 [18610.807400] tcp_v4_connect+0x465/0x4e0 [18610.807407] __inet_stream_connect+0xd6/0x3a0 [18610.807412] ? __inet_stream_connect+0x5/0x3a0 [18610.807417] inet_stream_connect+0x3b/0x60 [18610.807425] __sys_connect+0xed/0x120 After some debugging I was able to build this simple reproducer, __section("sockops/reproducer_bad") int bpf_reproducer_bad(struct bpf_sock_ops *skops) { volatile __maybe_unused __u32 i = skops->snd_ssthresh; return 0; } And along the way noticed that below program ran without splat, __section("sockops/reproducer_good") int bpf_reproducer_good(struct bpf_sock_ops *skops) { volatile __maybe_unused __u32 i = skops->snd_ssthresh; volatile __maybe_unused __u32 family; compiler_barrier(); family = skops->family; return 0; } So I decided to check out the code we generate for the above two programs and noticed each generates the BPF code you would expect, 0000000000000000 <bpf_reproducer_bad>: ; volatile __maybe_unused __u32 i = skops->snd_ssthresh; 0: r1 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 96) 1: *(u32 *)(r10 - 4) = r1 ; return 0; 2: r0 = 0 3: exit 0000000000000000 <bpf_reproducer_good>: ; volatile __maybe_unused __u32 i = skops->snd_ssthresh; 0: r2 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 96) 1: *(u32 *)(r10 - 4) = r2 ; family = skops->family; 2: r1 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 20) 3: *(u32 *)(r10 - 8) = r1 ; return 0; 4: r0 = 0 5: exit So we get reasonable assembly, but still something was causing the null pointer dereference. So, we load the programs and dump the xlated version observing that line 0 above 'r* = *(u32 *)(r1 +96)' is going to be translated by the skops access helpers. int bpf_reproducer_bad(struct bpf_sock_ops * skops): ; volatile __maybe_unused __u32 i = skops->snd_ssthresh; 0: (61) r1 = *(u32 *)(r1 +28) 1: (15) if r1 == 0x0 goto pc+2 2: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r1 +0) 3: (61) r1 = *(u32 *)(r1 +2340) ; volatile __maybe_unused __u32 i = skops->snd_ssthresh; 4: (63) *(u32 *)(r10 -4) = r1 ; return 0; 5: (b7) r0 = 0 6: (95) exit int bpf_reproducer_good(struct bpf_sock_ops * skops): ; volatile __maybe_unused __u32 i = skops->snd_ssthresh; 0: (61) r2 = *(u32 *)(r1 +28) 1: (15) if r2 == 0x0 goto pc+2 2: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 +0) 3: (61) r2 = *(u32 *)(r2 +2340) ; volatile __maybe_unused __u32 i = skops->snd_ssthresh; 4: (63) *(u32 *)(r10 -4) = r2 ; family = skops->family; 5: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r1 +0) 6: (69) r1 = *(u16 *)(r1 +16) ; family = skops->family; 7: (63) *(u32 *)(r10 -8) = r1 ; return 0; 8: (b7) r0 = 0 9: (95) exit Then we look at lines 0 and 2 above. In the good case we do the zero check in r2 and then load 'r1 + 0' at line 2. Do a quick cross-check into the bpf_sock_ops check and we can confirm that is the 'struct sock *sk' pointer field. But, in the bad case, 0: (61) r1 = *(u32 *)(r1 +28) 1: (15) if r1 == 0x0 goto pc+2 2: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r1 +0) Oh no, we read 'r1 +28' into r1, this is skops->fullsock and then in line 2 we read the 'r1 +0' as a pointer. Now jumping back to our spat, [18610.807284] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000001 The 0x01 makes sense because that is exactly the fullsock value. And its not a valid dereference so we splat. To fix we need to guard the case when a program is doing a sock_ops field access with src_reg == dst_reg. This is already handled in the load case where the ctx_access handler uses a tmp register being careful to store the old value and restore it. To fix the get case test if src_reg == dst_reg and in this case do the is_fullsock test in the temporary register. Remembering to restore the temporary register before writing to either dst_reg or src_reg to avoid smashing the pointer into the struct holding the tmp variable. Adding this inline code to test_tcpbpf_kern will now be generated correctly from, 9: r2 = *(u32 *)(r2 + 96) to xlated code, 13: (61) r9 = *(u32 *)(r2 +28) 14: (15) if r9 == 0x0 goto pc+4 15: (79) r9 = *(u64 *)(r2 +32) 16: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r2 +0) 17: (61) r2 = *(u32 *)(r2 +2348) 18: (05) goto pc+1 19: (79) r9 = *(u64 *)(r2 +32) And in the normal case we keep the original code, because really this is an edge case. From this, 9: r2 = *(u32 *)(r6 + 96) to xlated code, 22: (61) r2 = *(u32 *)(r6 +28) 23: (15) if r2 == 0x0 goto pc+2 24: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r6 +0) 25: (61) r2 = *(u32 *)(r2 +2348) So three additional instructions if dst == src register, but I scanned my current code base and did not see this pattern anywhere so should not be a big deal. Further, it seems no one else has hit this or at least reported it so it must a fairly rare pattern.
