[ Upstream commit be2ef8161572ec1973124ebc50f56dafc2925e07 ]
Stop forcing precise=true for SCALAR registers when BPF program has any subprograms. Current restriction means that any BPF program, as soon as it uses subprograms, will end up not getting any of the precision tracking benefits in reduction of number of verified states.
This patch keeps the fallback mark_all_scalars_precise() behavior if precise marking has to cross function frames. E.g., if subprogram requires R1 (first input arg) to be marked precise, ideally we'd need to backtrack to the parent function and keep marking R1 and its dependencies as precise. But right now we give up and force all the SCALARs in any of the current and parent states to be forced to precise=true. We can lift that restriction in the future.
But this patch fixes two issues identified when trying to enable precision tracking for subprogs.
First, prevent "escaping" from top-most state in a global subprog. While with entry-level BPF program we never end up requesting precision for R1-R5 registers, because R2-R5 are not initialized (and so not readable in correct BPF program), and R1 is PTR_TO_CTX, not SCALAR, and so is implicitly precise. With global subprogs, though, it's different, as global subprog a) can have up to 5 SCALAR input arguments, which might get marked as precise=true and b) it is validated in isolation from its main entry BPF program. b) means that we can end up exhausting parent state chain and still not mark all registers in reg_mask as precise, which would lead to verifier bug warning.
To handle that, we need to consider two cases. First, if the very first state is not immediately "checkpointed" (i.e., stored in state lookup hashtable), it will get correct first_insn_idx and last_insn_idx instruction set during state checkpointing. As such, this case is already handled and __mark_chain_precision() already handles that by just doing nothing when we reach to the very first parent state. st->parent will be NULL and we'll just stop. Perhaps some extra check for reg_mask and stack_mask is due here, but this patch doesn't address that issue.
More problematic second case is when global function's initial state is immediately checkpointed before we manage to process the very first instruction. This is happening because when there is a call to global subprog from the main program the very first subprog's instruction is marked as pruning point, so before we manage to process first instruction we have to check and checkpoint state. This patch adds a special handling for such "empty" state, which is identified by having st->last_insn_idx set to -1. In such case, we check that we are indeed validating global subprog, and with some sanity checking we mark input args as precise if requested.
Note that we also initialize state->first_insn_idx with correct start insn_idx offset. For main program zero is correct value, but for any subprog it's quite confusing to not have first_insn_idx set. This doesn't have any functional impact, but helps with debugging and state printing. We also explicitly initialize state->last_insns_idx instead of relying on is_state_visited() to do this with env->prev_insns_idx, which will be -1 on the very first instruction. This concludes necessary changes to handle specifically global subprog's precision tracking.
Second identified problem was missed handling of BPF helper functions that call into subprogs (e.g., bpf_loop and few others). From precision tracking and backtracking logic's standpoint those are effectively calls into subprogs and should be called as BPF_PSEUDO_CALL calls.
This patch takes the least intrusive way and just checks against a short list of current BPF helpers that do call subprogs, encapsulated in is_callback_calling_function() function. But to prevent accidentally forgetting to add new BPF helpers to this "list", we also do a sanity check in __check_func_call, which has to be called for each such special BPF helper, to validate that BPF helper is indeed recognized as callback-calling one. This should catch any missed checks in the future. Adding some special flags to be added in function proto definitions seemed like an overkill in this case.
With the above changes, it's possible to remove forceful setting of reg->precise to true in __mark_reg_unknown, which turns on precision tracking both inside subprogs and entry progs that have subprogs. No warnings or errors were detected across all the selftests, but also when validating with veristat against internal Meta BPF objects and Cilium objects. Further, in some BPF programs there are noticeable reduction in number of states and instructions validated due to more effective precision tracking, especially benefiting syncookie test.
