Subject[PATCH bpf-next v3 1/2] bpf: fix nullness propagation for reg to reg comparisons
Date
After befae75856ab, the verifier would propagate null information after
JEQ/JNE, e.g., if two pointers, one is maybe_null and the other is not,
the former would be marked as non-null in eq path. However, as comment
"PTR_TO_BTF_ID points to a kernel struct that does not need to be null
checked by the BPF program ... The verifier must keep this in mind and
can make no assumptions about null or non-null when doing branch ...".
If one pointer is maybe_null and the other is PTR_TO_BTF, the former is
incorrectly marked non-null. The following BPF prog can trigger a
null-ptr-deref, also see this report for more details[1]:

0: (18) r1 = map_fd ; R1_w=map_ptr(ks=4, vs=4)
2: (79) r6 = *(u64 *)(r1 +8) ; R6_w=bpf_map->inner_map_data
; R6 is PTR_TO_BTF_ID
; equals to null at runtime
3: (bf) r2 = r10
4: (07) r2 += -4
5: (62) *(u32 *)(r2 +0) = 0
6: (85) call bpf_map_lookup_elem#1 ; R0_w=map_value_or_null
7: (1d) if r6 == r0 goto pc+1
8: (95) exit
; from 7 to 9: R0=map_value R6=ptr_bpf_map
9: (61) r0 = *(u32 *)(r0 +0) ; null-ptr-deref
10: (95) exit

So, make the verifier propagate nullness information for reg to reg
comparisons only if neither reg is PTR_TO_BTF_ID.

v1 -> v2 add explanation comments above changes
v2 -> v3 rewrite selftests that run under test_progs to use CO-RE
