	Currently, BPF kfuncs which accept trusted pointer arguments i.e. those flagged as KF_TRUSTED_ARGS, KF_RCU, or KF_RELEASE, all require an original/unmodified trusted pointer argument to be supplied to them. By original/unmodified, it means that the backing register holding the trusted pointer argument that is to be supplied to the BPF kfunc must have its fixed offset set to zero, or else the BPF verifier will outright reject the BPF program load. However, this zero fixed offset constraint that is currently enforced by the BPF verifier onto BPF kfuncs specifically flagged to accept KF_TRUSTED_ARGS or KF_RCU trusted pointer arguments is rather unnecessary, and can limit their usability in practice. Specifically, it completely eliminates the possibility of constructing a derived trusted pointer from an original trusted pointer. To put it simply, a derived pointer is a pointer which points to one of the nested member fields of the object being pointed to by the original trusted pointer. This patch relaxes the zero fixed offset constraint that is enforced upon BPF kfuncs which specifically accept KF_TRUSTED_ARGS, or KF_RCU arguments. Although, the zero fixed offset constraint technically also applies to BPF kfuncs accepting KF_RELEASE arguments, relaxing this constraint for such BPF kfuncs has subtle and unwanted side-effects. This was discovered by experimenting a little further with an initial version of this patch series [0]. The primary issue with relaxing the zero fixed offset constraint on BPF kfuncs accepting KF_RELEASE arguments is that it'd would open up the opportunity for BPF programs to supply both trusted pointers and derived trusted pointers to them. For KF_RELEASE BPF kfuncs specifically, this could be problematic as resources associated with the backing pointer could be released by the backing BPF kfunc and cause instabilities for the rest of the kernel. With this new fixed offset semantic in-place for BPF kfuncs accepting KF_TRUSTED_ARGS and KF_RCU arguments, we now have more flexibility when it comes to the BPF kfuncs that we're able to introduce moving forward. Early discussions covering the possibility of relaxing the zero fixed offset constraint can be found using the link below. This will provide more context on where all this has stemmed from [1]. Notably, pre-existing tests have been updated such that they provide coverage for the updated zero fixed offset functionality. Specifically, the nested offset test was converted from a negative to positive test as it was already designed to assert zero fixed offset semantics of a KF_TRUSTED_ARGS BPF kfunc.

2023-07-13	selftests/bpf: Add selftests for nested_trust	Yafang Shao
	Add selftests for nested_strust to check whehter PTR_UNTRUSTED is cleared as expected, the result as follows: #141/1 nested_trust/test_read_cpumask:OK #141/2 nested_trust/test_skb_field:OK <<<< #141/3 nested_trust/test_invalid_nested_user_cpus:OK #141/4 nested_trust/test_invalid_nested_offset:OK #141/5 nested_trust/test_invalid_skb_field:OK <<<< #141 nested_trust:OK The #141/2 and #141/5 are newly added.

2023-03-03	bpf: Refactor RCU enforcement in the verifier.	Alexei Starovoitov
	bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock() are only available in clang compiled kernels. Lack of such key mechanism makes it impossible for sleepable bpf programs to use RCU pointers. Allow bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock() in GCC compiled kernels (though GCC doesn't support btf_type_tag yet) and allowlist certain field dereferences in important data structures like tast_struct, cgroup, socket that are used by sleepable programs either as RCU pointer or full trusted pointer (which is valid outside of RCU CS). Use BTF_TYPE_SAFE_RCU and BTF_TYPE_SAFE_TRUSTED macros for such tagging. They will be removed once GCC supports btf_type_tag. With that refactor check_ptr_to_btf_access(). Make it strict in enforcing PTR_TRUSTED and PTR_UNTRUSTED while deprecating old PTR_TO_BTF_ID without modifier flags. There is a chance that this strict enforcement might break existing programs (especially on GCC compiled kernels), but this cleanup has to start sooner than later. Note PTR_TO_CTX access still yields old deprecated PTR_TO_BTF_ID. Once it's converted to strict PTR_TRUSTED or PTR_UNTRUSTED the kfuncs and helpers will be able to default to KF_TRUSTED_ARGS. KF_RCU will remain as a weaker version of KF_TRUSTED_ARGS where obj refcnt could be 0. Adjust rcu_read_lock selftest to run on gcc and clang compiled kernels.

2023-01-25	selftests/bpf: Add nested trust selftests suite	David Vernet
	Now that defining trusted fields in a struct is supported, we should add selftests to verify the behavior. This patch adds a few such testcases.
