[ Upstream commit e1d486445af3c392628532229f7ce5f5cf7891b6 ]

The ARM32 BPF JIT does not support BPF-to-BPF function calls
(BPF_PSEUDO_CALL) or callbacks (BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC), but it does
not reject them either.

When a program with subprograms is loaded (e.g. libxdp's XDP
dispatcher uses __noinline__ subprograms, or any program using
callbacks like bpf_loop or bpf_for_each_map_elem), the verifier
invokes bpf_jit_subprogs() which calls bpf_int_jit_compile()
for each subprogram.

For BPF_PSEUDO_CALL, since ARM32 does not reject it, the JIT
silently emits code using the wrong address computation:

    func = __bpf_call_base + imm

where imm is a pc-relative subprogram offset, producing a bogus
function pointer.

For BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC, the ldimm64 handler ignores src_reg and
loads the immediate as a normal 64-bit value without error.

In both cases, build_body() reports success and a JIT image is
allocated. ARM32 lacks the jit_data/extra_pass mechanism needed
for the second JIT pass in bpf_jit_subprogs(). On the second
pass, bpf_int_jit_compile() performs a full fresh compilation,
allocating a new JIT binary and overwriting prog-&gt;bpf_func. The
first allocation is never freed. bpf_jit_subprogs() then detects
the function pointer changed and aborts with -ENOTSUPP, but the
original JIT binary has already been leaked. Each program
load/unload cycle leaks one JIT binary allocation, as reported
by kmemleak:

    unreferenced object 0xbf0a1000 (size 4096):
      backtrace:
        bpf_jit_binary_alloc+0x64/0xfc
        bpf_int_jit_compile+0x14c/0x348
        bpf_jit_subprogs+0x4fc/0xa60

Fix this by rejecting both BPF_PSEUDO_CALL in the BPF_CALL
handler and BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC in the BPF_LD_IMM64 handler, falling
through to the existing 'notyet' path. This causes build_body()
to fail before any JIT binary is allocated, so
bpf_int_jit_compile() returns the original program unjitted.
bpf_jit_subprogs() then sees !prog-&gt;jited and cleanly falls
back to the interpreter with no leak.

This reverts commit 08f6c05feb1db21653e98ca84ea04ca032d014c7 which is
commit e60adf513275c3a38e5cb67f7fd12387e43a3ff5 upstream.

It is part of a series that is reported to both break the arm64 builds
and instantly crashes the powerpc systems at the first load of a bpf
program.  So revert it for now until it can come back in a safe way.

<title>bpf: Change value of MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT from 32 to 33</title>
<updated>2021-11-16T13:03:15+00:00</updated>

<published>2021-11-05T01:30:00+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=ebf7f6f0a6cdcc17a3da52b81e4b3a98c4005028'/>
<id>urn:sha1:ebf7f6f0a6cdcc17a3da52b81e4b3a98c4005028</id>
<content type='text'>
In the current code, the actual max tail call count is 33 which is greater
than MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT (defined as 32). The actual limit is not consistent
with the meaning of MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT and thus confusing at first glance.
We can see the historical evolution from commit 04fd61ab36ec ("bpf: allow
bpf programs to tail-call other bpf programs") and commit f9dabe016b63
("bpf: Undo off-by-one in interpreter tail call count limit"). In order
to avoid changing existing behavior, the actual limit is 33 now, this is
reasonable.

After commit 874be05f525e ("bpf, tests: Add tail call test suite"), we can
see there exists failed testcase.

On all archs when CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is not set:
 # echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
 # modprobe test_bpf
 # dmesg | grep -w FAIL
 Tail call error path, max count reached jited:0 ret 34 != 33 FAIL

On some archs:
 # echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
 # modprobe test_bpf
 # dmesg | grep -w FAIL
 Tail call error path, max count reached jited:1 ret 34 != 33 FAIL

Although the above failed testcase has been fixed in commit 18935a72eb25
("bpf/tests: Fix error in tail call limit tests"), it would still be good
to change the value of MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT from 32 to 33 to make the code
more readable.

The 32-bit x86 JIT was using a limit of 32, just fix the wrong comments and
limit to 33 tail calls as the constant MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT updated. For the
mips64 JIT, use "ori" instead of "addiu" as suggested by Johan Almbladh.
For the riscv JIT, use RV_REG_TCC directly to save one register move as
suggested by Björn Töpel. For the other implementations, no function changes,
it does not change the current limit 33, the new value of MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT
can reflect the actual max tail call count, the related tail call testcases
in test_bpf module and selftests can work well for the interpreter and the
JIT.

Here are the test results on x86_64:

 # uname -m
 x86_64
 # echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
 # modprobe test_bpf test_suite=test_tail_calls
 # dmesg | tail -1
 test_bpf: test_tail_calls: Summary: 8 PASSED, 0 FAILED, [0/8 JIT'ed]
 # rmmod test_bpf
 # echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
 # modprobe test_bpf test_suite=test_tail_calls
 # dmesg | tail -1
 test_bpf: test_tail_calls: Summary: 8 PASSED, 0 FAILED, [8/8 JIT'ed]
 # rmmod test_bpf
 # ./test_progs -t tailcalls
 #142 tailcalls:OK
 Summary: 1/11 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED

The BPF core defines a __weak bpf_jit_compile() dummy function already
which should only be overridden by JITs if they actually implement a
legacy cBPF JIT. Given arm implements an eBPF JIT, this stub is not
needed.

Now that MIPS cBPF JIT is finally gone, the only JIT left that is still
implementing bpf_jit_compile() is the sparc32 one.

<id>urn:sha1:79e3445b38e0cab94264a3894c0c3d57c930b97e</id>
<content type='text'>
On ARM CPUs that lack div/mod instructions, ALU32 BPF_DIV and BPF_MOD are
implemented using a call to a helper function. Before, the emitted code
for those function calls failed to preserve caller-saved ARM registers.
Since some of those registers happen to be mapped to BPF registers, it
resulted in eBPF register values being overwritten.

This patch emits code to push and pop the remaining caller-saved ARM
registers r2-r3 into the stack during the div/mod function call. ARM
registers r0-r1 are used as arguments and return value, and those were
already saved and restored correctly.
