This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled bpf: prevent r10 register from being marked as precise to the 6.6-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-prevent-r10-register-from-being-marked-as-precis.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5bc15d125b3e33860b93081839001f45908724ed Author: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Apr 4 14:45:35 2024 -0700 bpf: prevent r10 register from being marked as precise [ Upstream commit 1f2a74b41ea8b902687eb97c4e7e3f558801865b ] r10 is a special register that is not under BPF program's control and is always effectively precise. The rest of precision logic assumes that only r0-r9 SCALAR registers are marked as precise, so prevent r10 from being marked precise. This can happen due to signed cast instruction allowing to do something like `r0 = (s8)r10;`, which later, if r0 needs to be precise, would lead to an attempt to mark r10 as precise. Prevent this with an extra check during instruction backtracking.
