The previous patch in the series ensures that the underlying memory of
nodes with bpf_refcount - which can have multiple owners - is not reused
until RCU Tasks Trace grace period has elapsed. This prevents
use-after-free with non-owning references that may point to
recently-freed memory. While RCU read lock is held, it's safe to
dereference such a non-owning ref, as by definition RCU GP couldn't have
elapsed and therefore underlying memory couldn't have been reused.
>From the perspective of verifier "trustedness" non-owning refs to
refcounted nodes are now trusted only in RCU CS and therefore should no
longer pass is_trusted_reg, but rather is_rcu_reg. Let's mark them
MEM_RCU in order to reflect this new state.
Similarly to bpf_spin_unlock being a non-owning ref invalidation point,
where non-owning ref reg states are clobbered so that they cannot be
used outside of the critical section, currently all MEM_RCU regs are
marked untrusted after bpf_rcu_read_unlock. This patch makes
bpf_rcu_read_unlock a non-owning ref invalidation point as well,
clobbering the non-owning refs instead of marking untrusted. In the
future we may want to allow untrusted non-owning refs in which case we
can remove this custom logic without breaking BPF programs as it's more
restrictive than the default. That's a big change in semantics, though,
and this series is focused on fixing the use-after-free in most
straightforward way.
