This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled bpf: Permit map_ptr arithmetic with opcode add and offset 0 to the 5.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: bpf-permit-map_ptr-arithmetic-with-opcode-add-and-of.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d84552ed132315a2a09c28447f152e8239758b1f Author: Yonghong Song <yhs@xxxxxx> Date: Tue Sep 8 10:57:02 2020 -0700 bpf: Permit map_ptr arithmetic with opcode add and offset 0 [ Upstream commit 7c6967326267bd5c0dded0a99541357d70dd11ac ] Commit 41c48f3a98231 ("bpf: Support access to bpf map fields") added support to access map fields with CORE support. For example, struct bpf_map { __u32 max_entries; } __attribute__((preserve_access_index)); struct bpf_array { struct bpf_map map; __u32 elem_size; } __attribute__((preserve_access_index)); struct { __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY); __uint(max_entries, 4); __type(key, __u32); __type(value, __u32); } m_array SEC(".maps"); SEC("cgroup_skb/egress") int cg_skb(void *ctx) { struct bpf_array *array = (struct bpf_array *)&m_array; /* .. array->map.max_entries .. */ } In kernel, bpf_htab has similar structure, struct bpf_htab { struct bpf_map map; ... } In the above cg_skb(), to access array->map.max_entries, with CORE, the clang will generate two builtin's. base = &m_array; /* access array.map */ map_addr = __builtin_preserve_struct_access_info(base, 0, 0); /* access array.map.max_entries */ max_entries_addr = __builtin_preserve_struct_access_info(map_addr, 0, 0); max_entries = *max_entries_addr; In the current llvm, if two builtin's are in the same function or in the same function after inlining, the compiler is smart enough to chain them together and generates like below: base = &m_array; max_entries = *(base + reloc_offset); /* reloc_offset = 0 in this case */ and we are fine. But if we force no inlining for one of functions in test_map_ptr() selftest, e.g., check_default(), the above two __builtin_preserve_* will be in two different functions. In this case, we will have code like: func check_hash(): reloc_offset_map = 0; base = &m_array; map_base = base + reloc_offset_map; check_default(map_base, ...) func check_default(map_base, ...): max_entries = *(map_base + reloc_offset_max_entries); In kernel, map_ptr (CONST_PTR_TO_MAP) does not allow any arithmetic. The above "map_base = base + reloc_offset_map" will trigger a verifier failure. ; VERIFY(check_default(&hash->map, map)); 0: (18) r7 = 0xffffb4fe8018a004 2: (b4) w1 = 110 3: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +0) = r1 R1_w=invP110 R7_w=map_value(id=0,off=4,ks=4,vs=8,imm=0) R10=fp0 ; VERIFY_TYPE(BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH, check_hash); 4: (18) r1 = 0xffffb4fe8018a000 6: (b4) w2 = 1 7: (63) *(u32 *)(r1 +0) = r2 R1_w=map_value(id=0,off=0,ks=4,vs=8,imm=0) R2_w=invP1 R7_w=map_value(id=0,off=4,ks=4,vs=8,imm=0) R10=fp0 8: (b7) r2 = 0 9: (18) r8 = 0xffff90bcb500c000 11: (18) r1 = 0xffff90bcb500c000 13: (0f) r1 += r2 R1 pointer arithmetic on map_ptr prohibited To fix the issue, let us permit map_ptr + 0 arithmetic which will result in exactly the same map_ptr.
