Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v9 2/4] bpf: Allow trusted pointers to be passed to KF_TRUSTED_ARGS kfuncs
Date:   Sat, 19 Nov 2022 23:10:02 -0600

Kfuncs currently support specifying the KF_TRUSTED_ARGS flag to signal
to the verifier that it should enforce that a BPF program passes it a
"safe", trusted pointer. Currently, "safe" means that the pointer is
either PTR_TO_CTX, or is refcounted. There may be cases, however, where
the kernel passes a BPF program a safe / trusted pointer to an object
that the BPF program wishes to use as a kptr, but because the object
does not yet have a ref_obj_id from the perspective of the verifier, the
program would be unable to pass it to a KF_ACQUIRE | KF_TRUSTED_ARGS
kfunc.

The solution is to expand the set of pointers that are considered
trusted according to KF_TRUSTED_ARGS, so that programs can invoke kfuncs
with these pointers without getting rejected by the verifier.

There is already a PTR_UNTRUSTED flag that is set in some scenarios,
such as when a BPF program reads a kptr directly from a map
without performing a bpf_kptr_xchg() call. These pointers of course can
and should be rejected by the verifier. Unfortunately, however,
PTR_UNTRUSTED does not cover all the cases for safety that need to
be addressed to adequately protect kfuncs. Specifically, pointers
obtained by a BPF program "walking" a struct are _not_ considered
PTR_UNTRUSTED according to BPF. For example, say that we were to add a
kfunc called bpf_task_acquire(), with KF_ACQUIRE | KF_TRUSTED_ARGS, to
acquire a struct task_struct *. If we only used PTR_UNTRUSTED to signal
that a task was unsafe to pass to a kfunc, the verifier would mistakenly
allow the following unsafe BPF program to be loaded:

SEC("tp_btf/task_newtask")
int BPF_PROG(unsafe_acquire_task,
             struct task_struct *task,
             u64 clone_flags)
{
        struct task_struct *acquired, *nested;

        nested = task->last_wakee;

        /* Would not be rejected by the verifier. */
        acquired = bpf_task_acquire(nested);
        if (!acquired)
                return 0;

        bpf_task_release(acquired);
        return 0;
}

To address this, this patch defines a new type flag called PTR_TRUSTED
which tracks whether a PTR_TO_BTF_ID pointer is safe to pass to a
KF_TRUSTED_ARGS kfunc or a BPF helper function. PTR_TRUSTED pointers are
passed directly from the kernel as a tracepoint or struct_ops callback
argument. Any nested pointer that is obtained from walking a PTR_TRUSTED
pointer is no longer PTR_TRUSTED. From the example above, the struct
task_struct *task argument is PTR_TRUSTED, but the 'nested' pointer
obtained from 'task->last_wakee' is not PTR_TRUSTED.

A subsequent patch will add kfuncs for storing a task kfunc as a kptr,
and then another patch will add selftests to validate.

 --------------------------
 
 The KF_TRUSTED_ARGS flag is used for kfuncs taking pointer arguments. It
-indicates that the all pointer arguments will always have a guaranteed lifetime,
-and pointers to kernel objects are always passed to helpers in their unmodified
-form (as obtained from acquire kfuncs).
-
-It can be used to enforce that a pointer to a refcounted object acquired from a
-kfunc or BPF helper is passed as an argument to this kfunc without any
-modifications (e.g. pointer arithmetic) such that it is trusted and points to
-the original object.
-
-Meanwhile, it is also allowed pass pointers to normal memory to such kfuncs,
-but those can have a non-zero offset.
-
-This flag is often used for kfuncs that operate (change some property, perform
-some operation) on an object that was obtained using an acquire kfunc. Such
-kfuncs need an unchanged pointer to ensure the integrity of the operation being
-performed on the expected object.
+indicates that the all pointer arguments are valid, and that all pointers to
+BTF objects have been passed in their unmodified form (that is, at a zero
+offset, and without having been obtained from walking another pointer).
+
+There are two types of pointers to kernel objects which are considered "valid":
+
+1. Pointers which are passed as tracepoint or struct_ops callback arguments.
+2. Pointers which were returned from a KF_ACQUIRE or KF_KPTR_GET kfunc.
+
+Pointers to non-BTF objects (e.g. scalar pointers) may also be passed to
+KF_TRUSTED_ARGS kfuncs, and may have a non-zero offset.
+
+The definition of "valid" pointers is subject to change at any time, and has
+absolutely no ABI stability guarantees.
