Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] Detect jumping to reserved code during check_cfg()

Currently, we don't check if the branch-taken of a jump is reserved code of
ld_imm64. Instead, such a issue is captured in check_ld_imm(). The verifier
gives the following log in such case:

func#0 @0
0: R1=ctx(off=0,imm=0) R10=fp0
0: (18) r4 = 0xffff888103436000 ; R4_w=map_ptr(off=0,ks=4,vs=128,imm=0)
2: (18) r1 = 0x1d ; R1_w=29
4: (55) if r4 != 0x0 goto pc+4 ; R4_w=map_ptr(off=0,ks=4,vs=128,imm=0)
5: (1c) w1 -= w1 ; R1_w=0
6: (18) r5 = 0x32 ; R5_w=50
8: (56) if w5 != 0xfffffff4 goto pc-2
mark_precise: frame0: last_idx 8 first_idx 0 subseq_idx -1
mark_precise: frame0: regs=r5 stack= before 6: (18) r5 = 0x32
7: R5_w=50
7: BUG_ld_00
invalid BPF_LD_IMM insn

Here the verifier rejects the program because it thinks insn at 7 is an
invalid BPF_LD_IMM, but such a error log is not accurate since the issue
is jumping to reserved code not because the program contains invalid insn.
Therefore, make the verifier check the jump target during check_cfg(). For
the same program, the verifier reports the following log:

func#0 @0
jump to reserved code from insn 8 to 7

I think we at least would want a test case for this. Also how did you create
this case? Is it just something you did manually and noticed a strange error?

Curious as well.

We do have test cases which try to jump into the middle of a double insn as can
be seen that this patch breaks BPF CI with regards to log mismatch below (which
still needs to be adapted, too). Either way, it probably doesn't hurt to also add
the above snippet as a test.

Hao, as I understand, the patch here is an usability improvement (not a fix per se)
where we reject such cases earlier during cfg check rather than at a later point
where we validate ld_imm instruction. Or are there cases you found which were not
yet captured via current check_ld_imm()?

I just wrote a testing tool for the verifier, which uses a test oracle
to capture
incorrect verifier's states, capturing incorrect verifier logs is a
bonus from this.
The bug is captured during testing the testing tool :). I will publish
the work when
I think it's useful enough and ready.

Will add a test case for this, and try to fix these broken tests, in patch v2.

I regard this as a fix, because the verifier log is not correct, since
the program does
not contain any invalid ld_imm64 instructions in this case.

I haven't met other cases not captured via check_ld_imm(), but somehow, I think
we probably want to convert the check there as an internal bug,
because we already
have bpf_opcode_in_insntable() check in resolve_pseudo_ldimm64(). Once we meet
invalid insn code here, then somewhere else in the verifier is
probably wrong. But
I'm not sure, maybe something like this:

Makes sense, you could probably add this into your series as a separate commit.

If so please stick to the common style as we have in other locations:

verbose(env, "verifier internal error: <xyz>\n");

We do rely quite a lot on verifier not complaining eagerly about some
potentially invalid instructions if it's provable that some portion of
the code won't ever be reached (think using .rodata variables for
feature gating, poisoning intructions due to failed CO-RE relocation,
which libbpf does actively, except it's using a call to non-existing
helper). As such, check_cfg() is a wrong place to do such validity
checks because some of the branches might never be run and validated
in practice.

This seems like a pretty obscure case of fuzzer generated test with
random jumps into the middle of ldimm64 instruction. I think the tool
should be able to avoid this or handle verifier log just fine in such
situations. On the other hand, valid code generated by compilers will
never have such jumps.

So perhaps we can improve existing "invalid BPF_LD_IMM insn" message,
but let's not teach check_cfg() more checks than necessary?

Don't really agree. Jump to the middle of ld_imm64 is just like jumping
out of bounds, both break the CFG integrity immediately. For those
apparently incorrect jumps, rejecting early makes everything simple;
otherwise, we probably need some rewrite in the end.

Also, as you mentioned, libbpf relies on non-existing helpers, not jump
to the middle of ld_imm64. It seems better and easier to not leave this
hole.

Improving that `invalid BPF_LD_IMM` log does not solve the problem, the
issue here is an invalid jump. Also, there could be various causes that make
the verifier see an invalid BPF_LD_IMM in check_ld_imm().

Could you elaborate on the 'breaking CFG integrity immediately'? This was
what I was trying to gather earlier with log improvement vs actual fix.

Do you mean /potentially/ breaking CFG integrity, if, say, we had a double
insn jump in future and there is a back-jump to the 2nd part of the insn?

I mean jumping to the middle of ld_imm64 is similar to jumping out-of-bound,
both are CFG-related issues and can be handled early in one place.

For the case you mentioned, the current code would handle such an issue in
check_ld_imm64(), and again gives "BAD_LD_IMM" log, which is strange.
