The bpf_sys_bpf() helper function allows an eBPF program to load another
eBPF program from within the kernel. In this case the argument union
bpf_attr pointer (as well as the insns and license pointers inside) is a
kernel address instead of a userspace address (which is the case of a
usual bpf() syscall). To make the memory copying process in the syscall
work in both cases, bpfptr_t was introduced to wrap around the pointer
and distinguish its origin. Specifically, when copying memory contents
from a bpfptr_t, a copy_from_user() is performed in case of a userspace
address and a memcpy() is performed for a kernel address.
This can lead to problems because the in-kernel pointer is never checked
for validity. The problem happens when an eBPF syscall program tries to
call bpf_sys_bpf() to load a program but provides a bad insns pointer --
say 0xdeadbeef -- in the bpf_attr union. The helper calls __sys_bpf()
which would then call bpf_prog_load() to load the program.
bpf_prog_load() is responsible for copying the eBPF instructions to the
newly allocated memory for the program; it creates a kernel bpfptr_t for
insns and invokes copy_from_bpfptr(). Internally, all bpfptr_t
operations are backed by the corresponding sockptr_t operations, which
performs direct memcpy() on kernel pointers for copy_from/strncpy_from
operations. Therefore, the code is always happy to dereference the bad
pointer to trigger a un-handle-able page fault and in turn an oops.
However, this is not supposed to happen because at that point the eBPF
program is already verified and should not cause a memory error.

[ 25.704050][ T228] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
Update copy_from_bpfptr() and strncpy_from_bpfptr() so that:
- for a kernel pointer, it uses the safe copy_from_kernel_nofault() and
strncpy_from_kernel_nofault() functions.
- for a userspace pointer, it performs copy_from_user() and
strncpy_from_user().
Fixes: af2ac3e13e45 ("bpf: Prepare bpf syscall to be used from kernel and user space.")

Changelog v2:
Applied Yonghong's comments and directly modified copy_from_bpfptr() and
strncpy_from_bpfptr() rather than the sockptr APIs.
