Update regsafe() to use check_ids() for scalar values.
Otherwise the following unsafe pattern is accepted by verifier:
1: r9 = ... some pointer with range X ...
2: r6 = ... unbound scalar ID=a ...
3: r7 = ... unbound scalar ID=b ...
4: if (r6 > r7) goto +1
5: r6 = r7
6: if (r6 > X) goto ...
--- checkpoint ---
7: r9 += r7
8: *(u64 *)r9 = Y
This example is unsafe because not all execution paths verify r7 range.
Because of the jump at (4) the verifier would arrive at (6) in two states:
I. r6{.id=b}, r7{.id=b} via path 1-6;
II. r6{.id=a}, r7{.id=b} via path 1-4, 6.
Currently regsafe() does not call check_ids() for scalar registers,
thus from POV of regsafe() states (I) and (II) are identical.
The change is split in two parts:
- patches #1,2: update for mark_chain_precision() to propagate
precision marks through scalar IDs.
- patches #3,4: update for regsafe() to use a special version of
check_ids() for precise scalar values.
Changelog:
- V3 -> V4:
- check_ids() in regsafe() is replaced by check_scalar_ids(),
as discussed with Andrii in [3],
Note: I did not transfer Andrii's ack for patch #3 from V3 because
of the changes to the algorithm.
- reg_id_scratch is renamed to idset_scratch;
- mark_precise_scalar_ids() is modified to propagate error from
idset_push();
- test cases adjusted according to feedback from Andrii for V3.
- V2 -> V3:
- u32_hashset for IDs used for range transfer is removed;
- mark_chain_precision() is updated as discussed with Andrii in [2].
- V1 -> v2:
- 'rold->precise' and 'rold->id' checks are dropped as unsafe
(thanks to discussion with Yonghong);
- patches #3,4 adding tracking of ids used for range transfer in
order to mitigate performance impact.
- RFC -> V1:
- Function verifier.c:mark_equal_scalars_as_read() is dropped,
as it was an incorrect fix for problem solved by commit [3].
- check_ids() is called only for precise scalar values.
- Test case updated to use inline assembly.
