Jakub Kicinski 7640ead939 bpf: verifier: make sure callees don't prune with caller differences
Currently for liveness and state pruning the register parentage
chains don't include states of the callee.  This makes some sense
as the callee can't access those registers.  However, this means
that READs done after the callee returns will not propagate into
the states of the callee.  Callee will then perform pruning
disregarding differences in caller state.

Example:

   0: (85) call bpf_user_rnd_u32
   1: (b7) r8 = 0
   2: (55) if r0 != 0x0 goto pc+1
   3: (b7) r8 = 1
   4: (bf) r1 = r8
   5: (85) call pc+4
   6: (15) if r8 == 0x1 goto pc+1
   7: (05) *(u64 *)(r9 - 8) = r3
   8: (b7) r0 = 0
   9: (95) exit

   10: (15) if r1 == 0x0 goto pc+0
   11: (95) exit

Here we acquire unknown state with call to get_random() [1].  Then
we store this random state in r8 (either 0 or 1) [1 - 3], and make
a call on line 5.  Callee does nothing but a trivial conditional
jump (to create a pruning point).  Upon return caller checks the
state of r8 and either performs an unsafe read or not.

Verifier will first explore the path with r8 == 1, creating a pruning
point at [11].  The parentage chain for r8 will include only callers
states so once verifier reaches [6] it will mark liveness only on states
in the caller, and not [11].  Now when verifier walks the paths with
r8 == 0 it will reach [11] and since REG_LIVE_READ on r8 was not
propagated there it will prune the walk entirely (stop walking
the entire program, not just the callee).  Since [6] was never walked
with r8 == 0, [7] will be considered dead and replaced with "goto -1"
causing hang at runtime.

This patch weaves the callee's explored states onto the callers
parentage chain.  Rough parentage for r8 would have looked like this
before:

[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]   [10]      [11]      [6]      [7]
     |           |      ,---|----.    |        |        |
  sl0:         sl0:    / sl0:     \ sl0:      sl0:     sl0:
  fr0: r8 <-- fr0: r8<+--fr0: r8   `fr0: r8  ,fr0: r8<-fr0: r8
                       \ fr1: r8 <- fr1: r8 /
                        \__________________/

after:

[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]   [10]      [11]      [6]      [7]
     |           |          |         |        |        |
   sl0:         sl0:      sl0:       sl0:      sl0:     sl0:
   fr0: r8 <-- fr0: r8 <- fr0: r8 <- fr0: r8 <-fr0: r8<-fr0: r8
                          fr1: r8 <- fr1: r8

Now the mark from instruction 6 will travel through callees states.

Note that we don't have to connect r0 because its overwritten by
callees state on return and r1 - r5 because those are not alive
any more once a call is made.

v2:
 - don't connect the callees registers twice (Alexei: suggestion & code)
 - add more details to the comment (Ed & Alexei)
v1: don't unnecessarily link caller saved regs (Jiong)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
