Hi, The following backtracking bug can be triggered on the latest bpf-next and Linux 6.1 with the C prog provided. I don't have enough knowledge about this part in the verifier, don't know how to fix this. This can be reproduced on: HEAD commit: 0e43662e61f2 tools/resolve_btfids: Use pkg-config to locate libelf git tree: bpf-next console log: https://pastebin.com/raw/45hZ7iqm kernel config: https://pastebin.com/raw/0pu1CHRm C reproducer: https://pastebin.com/raw/tqsiezvT func#0 @0 0: R1=ctx(off=0,imm=0) R10=fp0 0: (18) r2 = 0x8000000000000 ; R2_w=2251799813685248 2: (18) r6 = 0xffff888027358000 ; R6_w=map_ptr(off=0,ks=3032,vs=3664,imm=0) 4: (18) r7 = 0xffff88802735a000 ; R7_w=map_ptr(off=0,ks=156,vs=2624,imm=0) 6: (18) r8 = 0xffff88802735e000 ; R8_w=map_ptr(off=0,ks=2396,vs=76,imm=0) 8: (18) r9 = 0x8e9700000000 ; R9_w=156779191205888 10: (36) if w9 >= 0xffffffe3 goto pc+1 last_idx 10 first_idx 0 regs=200 stack=0 before 8: (18) r9 = 0x8e9700000000 11: R9_w=156779191205888 11: (85) call #0 12: (cc) w2 s>>= w7 last_idx 12 first_idx 12 parent didn't have regs=4 stack=0 marks: R1=ctx(off=0,imm=0) R2_rw=P2251799813685248 R6_w=map_ptr(off=0,ks=3032,vs=3664,imm=0) R7_rw=map_ptr(off=0,ks=156,vs=2624,imm=0) R8_w=map_ptr(off=0,ks=2396,vs=76,imm=0) R9_w=156779191205888 R10=fp0 last_idx 11 first_idx 0 regs=4 stack=0 before 11: (85) call #0 BUG regs 4 processed 8 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 0 total_states 1 peak_states 1 mark_read 1 ------------[ cut here ]------------ verifier backtracking bug WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 8646 at kernel/bpf/verifier.c:2756 backtrack_insn kernel/bpf/verifier.c:2756 [inline] WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 8646 at kernel/bpf/verifier.c:2756 __mark_chain_precision+0x1baf/0x1d70 kernel/bpf/verifier.c:3065 Modules linked in: CPU: 6 PID: 8646 Comm: a.out Not tainted 6.1.0-09634-g0e43662e61f2 #146 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Arch Linux 1.16.1-1-1 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:backtrack_insn kernel/bpf/verifier.c:2756 [inline] RIP: 0010:__mark_chain_precision+0x1baf/0x1d70 kernel/bpf/verifier.c:3065 Code: 0d 31 ff 89 de e8 91 ec ed ff 84 db 0f 85 ef fe ff ff e8 b4 f0 ed ff 48 c7 c7 e0 8f 53 8a c6 05 28 71 ab 0d 01 e8 83 b3 1e 08 <0f> 0b e9 50 f8 ff ff 48 8b 74 24 38 48 c7 c7 80 d0 63 8d e8 49 46 RSP: 0018:ffffc9001463f1a0 EFLAGS: 00010282 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: ffff888020470000 RSI: ffffffff816662c0 RDI: fffff520028c7e26 RBP: 0000000000000004 R08: 0000000000000005 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000080000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000000000000020 R13: dffffc0000000000 R14: 000000000000000b R15: ffff88802be74000 FS: 00007fd3daeb8440(0000) GS:ffff888063980000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000020000240 CR3: 0000000017394000 CR4: 0000000000750ee0 PKRU: 55555554 Call Trace: <TASK> mark_chain_precision kernel/bpf/verifier.c:3165 [inline] adjust_reg_min_max_vals+0x981/0x58d0 kernel/bpf/verifier.c:10715 check_alu_op+0x380/0x1820 kernel/bpf/verifier.c:10928 do_check kernel/bpf/verifier.c:13821 [inline] do_check_common+0x1c3b/0xe520 kernel/bpf/verifier.c:16289 do_check_main kernel/bpf/verifier.c:16352 [inline] bpf_check+0x83b4/0xb310 kernel/bpf/verifier.c:16936 bpf_prog_load+0xf7a/0x21a0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:2619 __sys_bpf+0xf03/0x5840 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:4979 __do_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5083 [inline] __se_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5081 [inline] __x64_sys_bpf+0x78/0xc0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5081 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x38/0xb0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd RIP: 0033:0x7fd3da8e4469 Code: 00 f3 c3 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 40 00 48 89 f8 48 89 f7 48 89 d6 48 89 ca 4d 89 c2 4d 89 c8 4c 8b 4c 24 08 0f 05 <48> 3d 01 f0 ff ff 73 01 c3 48 8b 0d ff 49 2b 00 f7 d8 64 89 01 48 RSP: 002b:00007fff090c1a78 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000141 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 00007fd3da8e4469 RDX: 0000000000000080 RSI: 0000000020000840 RDI: 0000000000000005 RBP: 00007fff090c2a90 R08: 00007fd3da92e160 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000561aefc006c0 R13: 00007fff090c2b70 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000 </TASK>
