From: Lorenz Bauer <lorenz.bauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ 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.
