This patch allows progs to elide a null check on statically known map lookup keys. In other words, if the verifier can statically prove that the lookup will be in-bounds, allow the prog to drop the null check.
This is useful for two reasons:
1. Large numbers of nullness checks (especially when they cannot fail) unnecessarily pushes prog towards BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_JMP_SEQ. 2. It forms a tighter contract between programmer and verifier.
For (1), bpftrace is starting to make heavier use of percpu scratch maps. As a result, for user scripts with large number of unrolled loops, we are starting to hit jump complexity verification errors. These percpu lookups cannot fail anyways, as we only use static key values. Eliding nullness probably results in less work for verifier as well.
For (2), percpu scratch maps are often used as a larger stack, as the currrent stack is limited to 512 bytes. In these situations, it is desirable for the programmer to express: "this lookup should never fail, and if it does, it means I messed up the code". By omitting the null check, the programmer can "ask" the verifier to double check the logic.
=== Changelog ===
Changes in v6: * Use is_spilled_scalar_reg() helper and remove unnecessary comment * Add back deleted selftest with different helper to dirty dst buffer * Check size of spill is exactly key_size and update selftests * Read slot_type from correct offset into the spi * Rewrite selftests in C where possible * Mark constant map keys as precise
Changes in v5: * Dropped all acks * Use s64 instead of long for const_map_key * Ensure stack slot contains spilled reg before accessing spilled_ptr * Ensure spilled reg is a scalar before accessing tnum const value * Fix verifier selftest for 32-bit write to write at 8 byte alignment to ensure spill is tracked * Introduce more precise tracking of helper stack accesses * Do constant map key extraction as part of helper argument processing and then remove duplicated stack checks * Use ret_flag instead of regs[BPF_REG_0].type * Handle STACK_ZERO * Fix bug in bpf_load_hdr_opt() arg annotation
Changes in v4: * Only allow for CAP_BPF * Add test for stack growing upwards * Improve comment about stack growing upwards
Changes in v3: * Check if stack is (erroneously) growing upwards * Mention in commit message why existing tests needed change
Changes in v2: * Added a check for when R2 is not a ptr to stack * Added a check for when stack is uninitialized (no stack slot yet) * Updated existing tests to account for null elision * Added test case for when R2 can be both const and non-const

Previously, the verifier was treating all PTR_TO_STACK registers passed to a helper call as potentially written to by the helper. However, all calls to check_stack_range_initialized() already have precise access type information available.
Rather than treat ACCESS_HELPER as a proxy for BPF_WRITE, pass enum bpf_access_type to check_stack_range_initialized() to more precisely track helper arguments.
One benefit from this precision is that registers tracked as valid spills and passed as a read-only helper argument remain tracked after the call. Rather than being marked STACK_MISC afterwards.
An additional benefit is the verifier logs are also more precise. For this particular error, users will enjoy a slightly clearer message. See included selftest updates for examples.

This commit allows progs to elide a null check on statically known map lookup keys. In other words, if the verifier can statically prove that the lookup will be in-bounds, allow the prog to drop the null check.
This is useful for two reasons:
1. Large numbers of nullness checks (especially when they cannot fail) unnecessarily pushes prog towards BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_JMP_SEQ. 2. It forms a tighter contract between programmer and verifier.
For (1), bpftrace is starting to make heavier use of percpu scratch maps. As a result, for user scripts with large number of unrolled loops, we are starting to hit jump complexity verification errors. These percpu lookups cannot fail anyways, as we only use static key values. Eliding nullness probably results in less work for verifier as well.
For (2), percpu scratch maps are often used as a larger stack, as the currrent stack is limited to 512 bytes. In these situations, it is desirable for the programmer to express: "this lookup should never fail, and if it does, it means I messed up the code". By omitting the null check, the programmer can "ask" the verifier to double check the logic.
Tests also have to be updated in sync with these changes, as the verifier is more efficient with this change. Notable, iters.c tests had to be changed to use a map type that still requires null checks, as it's exercising verifier tracking logic w.r.t iterators.

Test that nullness elision works for common use cases. For example, we want to check that both constant scalar spills and STACK_ZERO functions. As well as when there's both const and non-const values of R2 leading up to a lookup. And obviously some bound checks.
Particularly tricky are spills both smaller or larger than key size. For smaller, we need to ensure verifier doesn't let through a potential read into unchecked bytes. For larger, endianness comes into play, as the native endian value tracked in the verifier may not be the bytes the kernel would have read out of the key pointer. So check that we disallow both.
