[ Upstream commit f81fdfd16771e266753146bd83f6dd23515ebee9 ]

Two test cases for signed/unsigned 32-bit bounds refinement
when s32 range crosses the sign boundary:
- s32 range [S32_MIN..1] overlapping with u32 range [3..U32_MAX],
  s32 range tail before sign boundary overlaps with u32 range.
- s32 range [-3..5] overlapping with u32 range [0..S32_MIN+3],
  s32 range head after the sign boundary overlaps with u32 range.

This covers both branches added in the __reg32_deduce_bounds().

Also, crossing_32_bit_signed_boundary_2() no longer triggers invariant
violations.

[ Upstream commit fbc7aef517d8765e4c425d2792409bb9bf2e1f13 ]

Same as in __reg64_deduce_bounds(), refine s32/u32 ranges
in __reg32_deduce_bounds() in the following situations:

- s32 range crosses U32_MAX/0 boundary, positive part of the s32 range
  overlaps with u32 range:

  0                                                   U32_MAX
  |  [xxxxxxxxxxxxxx u32 range xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]              |
  |----------------------------|----------------------------|
  |xxxxx s32 range xxxxxxxxx]                       [xxxxxxx|
  0                     S32_MAX S32_MIN                    -1

- s32 range crosses U32_MAX/0 boundary, negative part of the s32 range
  overlaps with u32 range:

  0                                                   U32_MAX
  |              [xxxxxxxxxxxxxx u32 range xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]  |
  |----------------------------|----------------------------|
  |xxxxxxxxx]                       [xxxxxxxxxxxx s32 range |
  0                     S32_MAX S32_MIN                    -1

- No refinement if ranges overlap in two intervals.

This helps for e.g. consider the following program:

   call %[bpf_get_prandom_u32];
   w0 &amp;= 0xffffffff;
   if w0 &lt; 0x3 goto 1f;    // on fall-through u32 range [3..U32_MAX]
   if w0 s&gt; 0x1 goto 1f;   // on fall-through s32 range [S32_MIN..1]
   if w0 s&lt; 0x0 goto 1f;   // range can be narrowed to  [S32_MIN..-1]
   r10 = 0;
1: ...;

The reg_bounds.c selftest is updated to incorporate identical logic,
refinement based on non-overflowing range halves:

  ((x ∩ [0, smax]) ∩ (y ∩ [0, smax])) ∪
  ((x ∩ [smin,-1]) ∩ (y ∩ [smin,-1]))

<title>bpf: Add third round of bounds deduction</title>

[ Upstream commit 5dbb19b16ac498b0b7f3a8a85f9d25d6d8af397d ]

Commit d7f008738171 ("bpf: try harder to deduce register bounds from
different numeric domains") added a second call to __reg_deduce_bounds
in reg_bounds_sync because a single call wasn't enough to converge to a
fixed point in terms of register bounds.

With patch "bpf: Improve bounds when s64 crosses sign boundary" from
this series, Eduard noticed that calling __reg_deduce_bounds twice isn't
enough anymore to converge. The first selftest added in "selftests/bpf:
Test cross-sign 64bits range refinement" highlights the need for a third
call to __reg_deduce_bounds. After instruction 7, reg_bounds_sync
performs the following bounds deduction:

  reg_bounds_sync entry:          scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,smin32=-783,smax32=-146)
  __update_reg_bounds:            scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,smin32=-783,smax32=-146)
  __reg_deduce_bounds:
      __reg32_deduce_bounds:      scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,smin32=-783,smax32=-146,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e)
      __reg64_deduce_bounds:      scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,smin32=-783,smax32=-146,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e)
      __reg_deduce_mixed_bounds:  scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,umin=umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,smax32=-146,umax32=0xffffff6e)
  __reg_deduce_bounds:
      __reg32_deduce_bounds:      scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,umin=umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,smax32=-146,umax32=0xffffff6e)
      __reg64_deduce_bounds:      scalar(smin=-655,smax=smax32=-146,umin=0xfffffffffffffd71,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e)
      __reg_deduce_mixed_bounds:  scalar(smin=-655,smax=smax32=-146,umin=0xfffffffffffffd71,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e)
  __reg_bound_offset:             scalar(smin=-655,smax=smax32=-146,umin=0xfffffffffffffd71,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e,var_off=(0xfffffffffffffc00; 0x3ff))
  __update_reg_bounds:            scalar(smin=-655,smax=smax32=-146,umin=0xfffffffffffffd71,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e,var_off=(0xfffffffffffffc00; 0x3ff))

In particular, notice how:
1. In the first call to __reg_deduce_bounds, __reg32_deduce_bounds
   learns new u32 bounds.
2. __reg64_deduce_bounds is unable to improve bounds at this point.
3. __reg_deduce_mixed_bounds derives new u64 bounds from the u32 bounds.
4. In the second call to __reg_deduce_bounds, __reg64_deduce_bounds
   improves the smax and umin bounds thanks to patch "bpf: Improve
   bounds when s64 crosses sign boundary" from this series.
5. Subsequent functions are unable to improve the ranges further (only
   tnums). Yet, a better smin32 bound could be learned from the smin
   bound.

__reg32_deduce_bounds is able to improve smin32 from smin, but for that
we need a third call to __reg_deduce_bounds.

As discussed in [1], there may be a better way to organize the deduction
rules to learn the same information with less calls to the same
functions. Such an optimization requires further analysis and is
orthogonal to the present patchset.

[ Upstream commit f96841bbf4a1ee4ed0336ba192a01278fdea6383 ]

The improvement of the u64/s64 range refinement fixed the invariant
violation that was happening on this test for BPF_JSLT when crossing the
sign boundary.

After this patch, we have one test remaining with a known invariant
violation. It's the same test as fixed here but for 32 bits ranges.

[ Upstream commit 26e5e346a52c796190e63af1c2a80a417fda261a ]

This patch adds coverage for the new cross-sign 64bits range refinement
logic. The three tests cover the cases when the u64 and s64 ranges
overlap (1) in the negative portion of s64, (2) in the positive portion
of s64, and (3) in both portions.

The first test is a simplified version of a BPF program generated by
syzkaller that caused an invariant violation [1]. It looks like
syzkaller could not extract the reproducer itself (and therefore didn't
report it to the mailing list), but I was able to extract it from the
console logs of a crash.

The principle is similar to the invariant violation described in
commit 6279846b9b25 ("bpf: Forget ranges when refining tnum after
JSET"): the verifier walks a dead branch, uses the condition to refine
ranges, and ends up with inconsistent ranges. In this case, the dead
branch is when we fallthrough on both jumps. The new refinement logic
improves the bounds such that the second jump is properly detected as
always-taken and the verifier doesn't end up walking a dead branch.

The second and third tests are inspired by the first, but rely on
condition jumps to prepare the bounds instead of ALU instructions. An
R10 write is used to trigger a verifier error when the bounds can't be
refined.

With Clang, there can be a conditional forward jump between the load of

RSP.  Handle that accordingly.

If fstat() fails after open() succeeds, the function returns without
closing the file descriptor. Also preserve errno across close(), since
close() may overwrite it before the error is returned.

commit 5d4c6c132ea9a967d48890dd03e6a786c060e968 upstream.

This can happen in situations when CONFIG_HID_SUPPORT is set to no, or
some complex situations where struct bpf_wq is not exported.

So do the usual dance of hiding them before including vmlinux.h, and
then redefining them and make use of CO-RE to have the correct offsets.

[ Upstream commit fdb12c8a24a453bdd6759979b6ef1e04ebd4beb4 ]

The difference between 'make clean' and 'make mrproper' is documented in
'make help' as:

  clean     - Remove most generated files but keep the config and
              enough build support to build external modules
  mrproper  - Remove all generated files + config + various backup files

After commit 68b4fe32d737 ("kbuild: Add objtool to top-level clean
target"), running 'make clean' then attempting to build an external
module with the resulting build directory fails with

  $ make ARCH=x86_64 O=build clean

  $ make -C build M=... MO=...
  ...
  /bin/sh: line 1: .../build/tools/objtool/objtool: No such file or directory

as 'make clean' removes the objtool binary.

Split the objtool clean target into mrproper and clean like Kbuild does
and remove all generated artifacts with 'make clean' except for the
objtool binary, which is removed with 'make mrproper'. To avoid a small
race when running the objtool clean target through both objtool_mrproper
and objtool_clean when running 'make mrproper', modify objtool's clean
up find command to avoid using find's '-delete' command by piping the
files into 'xargs rm -f' like the rest of Kbuild does.
