btf: fix resolving BTF_KIND_VAR after ARRAY, STRUCT, UNION, PTR
[ Upstream commit 9b459804ff9973e173fabafba2a1319f771e85fa ]
btf_datasec_resolve contains a bug that causes the following BTF
to fail loading:
[1] DATASEC a size=2 vlen=2
type_id=4 offset=0 size=1
type_id=7 offset=1 size=1
[2] INT (anon) size=1 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=8 encoding=(none)
[3] PTR (anon) type_id=2
[4] VAR a type_id=3 linkage=0
[5] INT (anon) size=1 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=8 encoding=(none)
[6] TYPEDEF td type_id=5
[7] VAR b type_id=6 linkage=0
This error message is printed during btf_check_all_types:
[1] DATASEC a size=2 vlen=2
type_id=7 offset=1 size=1 Invalid type
By tracing btf_*_resolve we can pinpoint the problem:
btf_datasec_resolve(depth: 1, type_id: 1, mode: RESOLVE_TBD) = 0
btf_var_resolve(depth: 2, type_id: 4, mode: RESOLVE_TBD) = 0
btf_ptr_resolve(depth: 3, type_id: 3, mode: RESOLVE_PTR) = 0
btf_var_resolve(depth: 2, type_id: 4, mode: RESOLVE_PTR) = 0
btf_datasec_resolve(depth: 1, type_id: 1, mode: RESOLVE_PTR) = -22
The last invocation of btf_datasec_resolve should invoke btf_var_resolve
by means of env_stack_push, instead it returns EINVAL. The reason is that
env_stack_push is never executed for the second VAR.
if (!env_type_is_resolve_sink(env, var_type) &&
!env_type_is_resolved(env, var_type_id)) {
env_stack_set_next_member(env, i + 1);
return env_stack_push(env, var_type, var_type_id);
}
env_type_is_resolve_sink() changes its behaviour based on resolve_mode.
For RESOLVE_PTR, we can simplify the if condition to the following:
(btf_type_is_modifier() || btf_type_is_ptr) && !env_type_is_resolved()
Since we're dealing with a VAR the clause evaluates to false. This is
not sufficient to trigger the bug however. The log output and EINVAL
are only generated if btf_type_id_size() fails.
if (!btf_type_id_size(btf, &type_id, &type_size)) {
btf_verifier_log_vsi(env, v->t, vsi, "Invalid type");
return -EINVAL;
}
Most types are sized, so for example a VAR referring to an INT is not a
problem. The bug is only triggered if a VAR points at a modifier. Since
we skipped btf_var_resolve that modifier was also never resolved, which
means that btf_resolved_type_id returns 0 aka VOID for the modifier.
This in turn causes btf_type_id_size to return NULL, triggering EINVAL.
To summarise, the following conditions are necessary:
- VAR pointing at PTR, STRUCT, UNION or ARRAY
- Followed by a VAR pointing at TYPEDEF, VOLATILE, CONST, RESTRICT or
TYPE_TAG
The fix is to reset resolve_mode to RESOLVE_TBD before attempting to
resolve a VAR from a DATASEC.
