6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi <memxor@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 69772f509e084ec6bca12dbcdeeeff41b0103774 ]
Inside mark_stack_slot_misc, we should not upgrade STACK_INVALID to
STACK_MISC when allow_ptr_leaks is false, since invalid contents
shouldn't be read unless the program has the relevant capabilities.
The relaxation only makes sense when env->allow_ptr_leaks is true.
However, such conversion in privileged mode becomes unnecessary, as
invalid slots can be read without being upgraded to STACK_MISC.
Currently, the condition is inverted (i.e. checking for true instead of
false), simply remove it to restore correct behavior.
Fixes: eaf18febd6eb ("bpf: preserve STACK_ZERO slots on partial reg spills")
