From a60dd35d2e39209fa7645945e1192bf9769872c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gianluca Borello Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2017 18:32:56 +0000 Subject: bpf: change bpf_perf_event_output arg5 type to ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO Commit 9fd29c08e520 ("bpf: improve verifier ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO semantics") relaxed the treatment of ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO due to the way the compiler generates optimized BPF code when checking boundaries of an argument from C code. A typical example of this optimized code can be generated using the bpf_perf_event_output helper when operating on variable memory: /* len is a generic scalar */ if (len > 0 && len <= 0x7fff) bpf_perf_event_output(ctx, &perf_map, 0, buf, len); 110: (79) r5 = *(u64 *)(r10 -40) 111: (bf) r1 = r5 112: (07) r1 += -1 113: (25) if r1 > 0x7ffe goto pc+6 114: (bf) r1 = r6 115: (18) r2 = 0xffff94e5f166c200 117: (b7) r3 = 0 118: (bf) r4 = r7 119: (85) call bpf_perf_event_output#25 R5 min value is negative, either use unsigned or 'var &= const' With this code, the verifier loses track of the variable. Replacing arg5 with ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO is thus desirable since it avoids this quite common case which leads to usability issues, and the compiler generates code that the verifier can more easily test: if (len <= 0x7fff) bpf_perf_event_output(ctx, &perf_map, 0, buf, len); or bpf_perf_event_output(ctx, &perf_map, 0, buf, len & 0x7fff); No changes to the bpf_perf_event_output helper are necessary since it can handle a case where size is 0, and an empty frame is pushed.
