bpf_convert_ctx_accesses() turns a BPF_LDX into a BPF_PROBE_MEM one by
matching the type recorded for the insn against a list of exact pointer
types. The list cannot keep up with the flag combinations the verifier
produces, and a type which is missing from it ends up as a plain load
without an exception table entry, so a bad address panics the kernel
instead of being handled.
Two such types exist today and are reachable:
- PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_UNTRUSTED | MEM_ALLOC | NON_OWN_REF
- PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_UNTRUSTED | MEM_RCU
Rather than adding the two, just drop the list and state the property
itself in the default case of the switch. This is a superset of what
the list matched, the untrusted PTR_TO_MEM does not have to carry
MEM_RDONLY for it anymore, and it stays in sync with the verifier side
which uses the same match in save_aux_ptr_type() and reg_type_mismatch_ok().
Assert that a fault prone type which does not get the rewrite for whatever
reason is rejected at load time rather than left to fault at runtime to
catch any future cases.

The verifier keeps per-subprogram metadata in three parallel arrays:
subprog_info, func_info, and func_info_aux. Dead code elimination can
remove whole subprograms, and adjust_subprog_starts_after_remove()
shifts subprog_info and func_info to close the gap, but leaves
func_info_aux in place. From that point on, func_info_aux[i] no longer
describes subprogram i.
Shift func_info_aux together with func_info so the three arrays stay
aligned after subprogram removal.

Introduce global percpu data, inspired by the commit
6316f78306c1 ("Merge branch 'support-global-data'"). It enables the
definition of global percpu variables in BPF, similar to the
include/linux/percpu-defs.h::DEFINE_PER_CPU() macro.
For example, in BPF, it is able to define a global percpu variable like:
int data SEC(".percpu");
With this patch, tools like retsnoop [1] and bpfsnoop [2] can simplify
their BPF code for handling LBRs. The code can be updated from
static struct perf_branch_entry lbrs[1][MAX_LBR_ENTRIES] SEC(".data.lbrs");
to
static struct perf_branch_entry lbrs[MAX_LBR_ENTRIES] SEC(".percpu.lbrs");
This eliminates the need to retrieve the CPU ID using the
bpf_get_smp_processor_id() helper.
Additionally, by reusing global percpu data map, sharing information
between tail callers and callees or freplace callers and callees becomes
simpler compared to reusing percpu_array maps.

The dup/restore of insn_aux_data was introduced to resolve the
inconsistency between insnsi and insn_aux_data arrays, which occurs
on the failure path where insnsi was rolled back to the original
state before constants blinding, while insn_aux_data was not.
After JIT failure, there is only one user, bpf_clear_insn_aux_data(),
that requires insnsi and insn_aux_data to be synchronized. It accesses
both insnsi and insn_aux_data using the same array size and index.
However, the access to insnsi in bpf_clear_insn_aux_data() is not
necessary. It is checked to skip the second slot of an ldimm64 instruction,
whose jt is never set and can be absorbed into the jt check itself.
So remove the access to insnsi from bpf_clear_insn_aux_data(), and add a
specific length field for insn_aux_data to allow it to have a different
length from the insnsi array. Then remove dup/restore of insn_aux_data.

check_atomic_rmw() open codes the mapping from a BPF_ATOMIC to the register
it reads the old value into, the BPF_STX case of insn_def_regno() open codes
the very same mapping a second time, the const folding and the liveness
transfer functions a third and a fourth time, and BPF JITs need it as well
to know which register a faulting BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC has to clear.
Add a small helper so that all of them can share it. No functional change.
The BPF_LOAD_ACQ case is there for the JITs, which do walk all instruction
classes. const_reg_xfer() loses its explicit BPF_ATOMIC mode test since the
helper checks class and mode itself; the BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC it additionally
accepts cannot be seen there as it is only set from bpf_do_misc_fixups(),
that is, after const folding has run. arg_track_xfer() keeps its mode test
since that also guards the stack clearing next to it.

After the previous commit bpf_is_reg64() is only used in a context
where destination register's property is queried, and only for
instructions for which insn_def_regno() >= 0. Hence, simplify the
function by:
- removing unused parameters;
- removing code paths considering BPF_JMP{,32} instructions;
- streamlining the condition expressions.

As reported in the thread [1], the verifier's 32-bit operations zero
extension logic is broken. This logic is responsible for correct
semantics of 32-bit operations on s390 architecture.
According to BPF semantics, operation `w1 += 1` is supposed to zero
extend the upper half of the register `r1`. On s390 the JIT relies on
the verifier emitting explicit zero extension before such operations.
The verifier attempts to minimize the amount of zero extensions
inserted by tracking whether upper halves of the 64-bit registers are
ever used. Previously such tracking worked as follows:
- bpf_reg_state->subreg_def field was set by do_check_insn()
for each operation defining lower but not the upper halves
of the register.
- Whenever an operation reading the whole register was verified,
the verifier checked register's subreg_def and set
bpf_insn_aux_data->zext_dst flag as true via a call to
mark_insn_zext() function.
- After the verification was complete, a special pass
bpf_opt_subreg_zext_lo32_rnd_hi32() extended 32-bit operations
with bpf_insn_aux_data->zext_dst set as true by adding
explicit zero extension.
Note that the logic above relies on bpf_reg_state->subreg_def,
which is a property of a current verifier state.
Before the commit [2] two additional steps happened:
- The verifier tracked upper and lower register halves' liveness as
flags REG_LIVE_READ{32,64} in bpf_reg_state->live.
- The function propagate_liveness() called mark_insn_zext()
in order to transfer the knowledge about which registers have
their upper halves alive (and thus might require zero extension).
The commit [2] removed the two steps described above,
hence making possible a situation like below:
- The register's upper half is set and is used on some verification
path P1 and the register happens not to be marked as precise.
- The checkpoint C is created while processing some instruction
between register initialization and usage.
- On some other verification path P2 the register's upper half is not
initialized and that path ends hitting the checkpoint C.
- In such a case the register's initialization on path P2 would lack
zext_dst mark, making it possible for the program to inject
an arbitrary value in the register's upper half.
This commit replaces subreg_def based logic with computing zext_dst
statically, as a part of the bpf_compute_live_registers() analysis:
- The analysis now tracks usage of upper and lower halves of the
registers separately.
- If some instruction defines a 32-bit subregister, but not the whole
register, *and* the upper half of the register is alive after that
instruction, the instruction is marked as zext_dst.
There is one notable drop in precision: whenever a BPF subprogram is
called, all 64 bits of parameter registers are presumed to be used.
The assumption is that such a drop in precision would not inflict
a noticeable performance penalty.

The BPF_MOV64_PERCPU_REG insn requires JIT to emit native code to for
'dst_reg = src_reg + <percpu_base_off>'.
However, the interpreter ignores the 'off' at its ALU64_MOV_X label.
The 'off' indicates the insn is BPF_MOV64_PERCPU_REG insn. Then, when
the interpreter loads memory from the register, it will hit a page
fault.

When an architecture (such as LoongArch, ARM64, and RISC-V) implements
bpf_jit_inlines_helper_call(), the verifier skips rewriting the helper
call offset (insn->imm) in bpf_do_misc_fixups(). This is because the
helper is expected to be inlined by the JIT compiler later. Therefore,
insn->imm remains as the raw helper enum ID.
However, if JIT is disabled at runtime (net.core.bpf_jit_enable=0) or
if JIT compilation fails dynamically (e.g., due to OOM), the program
falls back to the BPF interpreter.
When the interpreter executes (__bpf_call_base + insn->imm) with the
unpatched raw ID, it jumps into an invalid address space, triggering
an instruction alignment fault or a kernel panic.
Although these helpers have valid C implementations in the kernel, the
omission of offset rewriting makes runtime interpreter fallback fatal.
Fix this by setting 'prog->jit_required = 1' when helper call rewriting
is skipped for JIT inlining. This ensures that such programs are safely
rejected if JIT is not available, preventing the runtime kernel panic.

Introduce a 'jit_required' bitfield flag in struct bpf_prog to track
whether a BPF program strictly requires the JIT compiler to run. This
prevents a dangerous runtime fallback to the interpreter for features
that are only implemented in the JIT compiler.
Currently, bpf_prog_has_kfunc_call() is used only for kernel function
calls, replace the kfunc-specific helper with the new 'jit_required'
flag. This makes it easy to support other JIT-only BPF features, such
as inlined helpers.

In bpf_do_misc_fixups(), the conversion from a function address to a
BPF immediate value is handled using the BPF_CALL_IMM macro inside the
'patch_map_ops_generic' label block. However, immediately following it
in the 'patch_call_imm' label block, the immediate value is calculated
manually by subtracting __bpf_call_base from fn->func.
Inspired by KaFai Wan's review comments on fixing helper call offsets,
use the BPF_CALL_IMM macro in 'patch_call_imm' as well to clean this up.
This removes the redundant manual pointer arithmetic and ensures coding
style consistency across adjacent label blocks within the same function.

Bpf programs with such types have 'bpf_multi_func' function set as

Refactor object relationship tracking in the verifier and fix a dynptr
use-after-free bug where file/skb dynptrs are not invalidated when the
parent referenced object is freed.
Add parent_id to bpf_reg_state to precisely track child-parent
relationships. A child object's parent_id points to the parent object's
id. This replaces the PTR_TO_MEM-specific dynptr_id.
Remove ref_obj_id from bpf_reg_state by folding its role into the
existing id field. Previously, id tracked pointer identity for null
checking while ref_obj_id tracked the owning reference for lifetime
management. These are now unified: acquire helpers and kfuncs set id
to the acquired reference id, and release paths use id directly.
Add reg_is_referenced() which checks if a register is referenced by
looking up its id in the reference array. This replaces all former
ref_obj_id checks.
For release_reference(), invalidating an object now also invalidates
all descendants by traversing the object tree. This is done using
stack-based DFS to avoid recursive call chains of release_reference() ->
unmark_stack_slots_dynptr() -> release_reference(). Referenced objects
encountered during tree traversal are reported as leaked references.
Add parent_id to bpf_reference_state to enable hierarchical reference
tracking. When acquiring a reference, a parent_id can be specified to
link the new reference to an existing one (e.g., referenced dynptrs
acquire a reference with parent_id linking to the parent object's
reference).
Pointer casting:
For pointer casting helpers (bpf_sk_fullsock, bpf_tcp_sock), instead of
propagating ref_obj_id, the cast result reuses the same reference id as
the source pointer. Since the cast may return NULL for a non-NULL input,
the NULL case is explored as a separate verifier branch. This allows
releasing any of the original or cast pointers to invalidate all others.
Referenced dynptrs:
When constructing a referenced dynptr, acquire a intermediate reference
with parent_id linking to the parent referenced object. The dynptr and
all clones share the same parent_id (pointing to the intermediate ref)
but get unique ids for independent slice tracking. Releasing a
referenced dynptr releases the parent reference, which in turn
invalidates all clones and their derived slices.
Owning to non-owning reference conversion:
After converting owning to non-owning by clearing id (e.g.,
object(id=1) -> object(id=0)), the verifier releases the reference
state via release_reference_nomark().
Note that the error message "reference has not been acquired before" in
the helper and kfunc release paths is removed. This message was already
unreachable. The verifier only calls release_reference() after
confirming the reference is valid, so the condition could never trigger
in practice.

When a main program with exception_boundary has outgoing stack
arguments (e.g. from calling subprogs with >5 args), bpf_throw() fails
to correctly restore callee-saved registers, causing a kernel crash.
The x86 JIT allocates the outgoing stack arg area below the
callee-saved registers via 'sub rsp, outgoing_rsp' in the prologue.
When bpf_throw() unwinds, it captures the main program's sp (which
includes this outgoing area) and passes it to the exception callback.
The callback gets rsp and rbp, followed by pop_callee_regs, but rsp
points into the outgoing arg area rather than the callee-saved
registers, so the pops restore garbage values. Returning to the
kernel with corrupted callee-saved registers causes a crash.
Fix this by adjusting the sp (adding stack_arg_sp_adjust) passed to
the exception callback, so it points to the bottom of the callee-saved
registers instead of the outgoing arg area. When stack_arg_sp_adjust
is 0 (the common case), this is a no-op.

Remove a redundant stack_arg_cnt check in __bpf_prog_select_runtime()
and start the stack arg loop from index 0 in bpf_fixup_call_args().
Both changes are no-ops that simplify the code:
In __bpf_prog_select_runtime(), the subprog_info[0].stack_arg_cnt
check is unreachable:
- when there is only a main program (no bpf-to-bpf calls),
subprog_info[0].stack_arg_cnt is always 0 because the main
program's arg_cnt is forced to 1
- when bpf-to-bpf calls use stack args and JIT succeeds,
fp->bpf_func is set and this code is skipped
- when JIT fails, bpf_fixup_call_args() rejects the program
before we get to __bpf_prog_select_runtime().
In bpf_fixup_call_args(), starting the loop at i=1 skipped subprog 0,
which is safe since the main program always has arg_cnt=1 and thus
bpf_in_stack_arg_cnt() returns 0. Starting at i=0 removes the need
to reason about this invariant.

Currently BPF functions (subprogs) are limited to 5 register arguments.
With [1], the compiler can emit code that passes additional arguments
via a dedicated stack area through bpf register BPF_REG_PARAMS (r11),
introduced in an earlier patch ([2]).
The compiler uses positive r11 offsets for incoming (callee-side) args
and negative r11 offsets for outgoing (caller-side) args, following the
x86_64/arm64 calling convention direction. There is an 8-byte gap at
offset 0 separating two regions:
Incoming (callee reads): r11+8 (arg6), r11+16 (arg7), ...
Outgoing (caller writes): r11-8 (arg6), r11-16 (arg7), ...
The following is an example to show how stack arguments are saved
and transferred between caller and callee:
int foo(int a1, int a2, int a3, int a4, int a5, int a6, int a7) {
...
bar(a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8);
...
}

r11+8: [incoming arg 6] r11+8: [incoming arg 6] <-+
r11+16: [incoming arg 7] r11+16: [incoming arg 7] <-|+
r11+24: [incoming arg 8] <-||+

The verifier tracks outgoing stack arguments in stack_arg_regs[] and
out_stack_arg_cnt in bpf_func_state, separately from the regular
r10 stack. The callee does not copy incoming args — it reads them
directly from the caller's outgoing slots at positive r11 offsets.
Similar to stacksafe(), introduce stack_arg_safe() to do pruning
check.
Outgoing stack arg slots are invalidated when the callee returns
(e.g. in prepare_func_exit), not at call time. This allows the callee to
read incoming args from the caller's outgoing slots during
verification. The following are a few examples.
Example 1:
*(u64 *)(r11 - 8) = r6;
*(u64 *)(r11 - 16) = r7;
call bar1; // arg6 = r6, arg7 = r7
call bar2; // expected with 2 stack arguments, failed
Example 2:
To fix the Example 1:
*(u64 *)(r11 - 8) = r6;
*(u64 *)(r11 - 16) = r7;
call bar1; // arg6 = r6, arg7 = r7
*(u64 *)(r11 - 8) = r8;
*(u64 *)(r11 - 16) = r9;
call bar2; // arg6 = r8, arg7 = r9
Example 3:
The compiler can hoist the shared stack arg stores above the branch:
*(u64 *)(r11 - 16) = r7;
if cond goto else;
*(u64 *)(r11 - 8) = r8;
call bar1; // arg6 = r8, arg7 = r7
goto end;
else:
*(u64 *)(r11 - 8) = r9;
call bar2; // arg6 = r9, arg7 = r7
end:
Example 4:
Within a loop:
loop:
*(u64 *)(r11 - 8) = r6; // arg6, before loop
call bar; // reuses arg6 each iteration
if ... goto loop;
A separate max_out_stack_arg_cnt field in bpf_subprog_info tracks
the deepest outgoing slot actually written. This intends to
reject programs that write to slots beyond what any callee expects.
It is necessary for JIT.
Similar to typical compiler generated code, enforce the following
orderings:
- all stack arg reads must be ahead of any stack arg write
- all stack arg reads must be before any bpf func, kfunc and helpers
This is needed as JIT may emit 'mov' insns for read/write with
the same register and bpf function, kfunc and helper will invalidate
all arguments immediately after the call.
Callback functions with stack arguments need kernel setup parameter
types (including stack parameters) properly and then callback function
can retrieve such information for verification purpose.
Global subprogs and freplace with >5 args are not yet supported.

Currently, the BPF instruction set allows bpf-to-bpf calls (or internal
calls, pseudo calls) to use a 32-bit imm field to represent the relative
jump offset.
However, when JIT is disabled or falls back to the interpreter, the
verifier invokes bpf_patch_call_args() to rewrite the call instruction.
In this function, the 32-bit imm is downcast to s16 and stored in the off
field.
void bpf_patch_call_args(struct bpf_insn *insn, u32 stack_depth)
{
stack_depth = max_t(u32, stack_depth, 1);
insn->off = (s16) insn->imm;
insn->imm = interpreters_args[(round_up(stack_depth, 32) / 32) - 1] -
__bpf_call_base_args;
insn->code = BPF_JMP | BPF_CALL_ARGS;
}
If the original imm exceeds the s16 range (i.e., a jump offset greater
than 32767 instructions), this downcast silently truncates the offset,
resulting in an incorrect call target.
Fix this by:
1. In bpf_patch_call_args(), keeping the imm field unchanged and using the
off field to store the index of the interpreter function.
2. In ___bpf_prog_run() for the JMP_CALL_ARGS case, retrieving the
interpreter function pointer from the interpreters_args array using the
off field as the index, and passing the original imm to calculate the
last argument of the interpreter function.
After these changes, the truncation issue is resolved, and __bpf_call_base_args
is also no longer needed and can be removed, which makes the code cleaner.
Performance: In ___bpf_prog_run() for the JMP_CALL_ARGS case, changing the
retrieval of the interpreter function pointer from pointer addition to
direct array indexing improves performance. The possible reason is that the
latter has better instruction-level parallelism. See the v5 discussion [1]
for more details.

To avoid requiring bpftool changes, keep the new imm/off encoding internal
and restore the legacy xlated dump layout in bpf_insn_prepare_dump().
For bpf-to-bpf call offsets that do not fit in s16, export off as 0 instead
of a truncated and misleading value.

The interpreters_args array only accommodates stack depths up to
MAX_BPF_STACK (512 bytes). However, do_misc_fixups() may allow a larger
stack depth if JIT is requested.
If JIT compilation later fails and falls back to the interpreter, the
verifier invokes bpf_patch_call_args() with this oversized stack depth.
This causes a load-time out-of-bounds (OOB) read when calculating the
interpreter function pointer index.
Fix this by changing bpf_patch_call_args() to return an int and explicitly
rejecting the JIT fallback (returning -EINVAL) if the stack depth exceeds
MAX_BPF_STACK.

Introduce helper bpf_insn_is_indirect_target to check whether a BPF
instruction is an indirect jump target.
Since the verifier knows which instructions are indirect jump targets,
add a new flag indirect_target to struct bpf_insn_aux_data to mark
them. The verifier sets this flag when verifying an indirect jump target
instruction, and the helper checks the flag to determine whether an
instruction is an indirect jump target.

Pass bpf_verifier_env to bpf_int_jit_compile(). The follow-up patch will
use env->insn_aux_data in the JIT stage to detect indirect jump targets.
Since bpf_prog_select_runtime() can be called by cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c
code without verifier, introduce helper __bpf_prog_select_runtime()
to accept the env parameter.
Remove the call to bpf_prog_select_runtime() in bpf_prog_load(), and
switch to call __bpf_prog_select_runtime() in the verifier, with env
variable passed. The original bpf_prog_select_runtime() is preserved for
cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c, where env is NULL.
Now all constants blinding calls are moved into the verifier, except
the cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c cases. The instructions arrays are adjusted
by bpf_patch_insn_data() function for normal cases, so there is no need
to call adjust_insn_arrays() in bpf_jit_blind_constants(). Remove it.

During the JIT stage, constants blinding rewrites instructions but only
rewrites the private instruction copy of the JITed subprog, leaving the
global env->prog->insnsi and env->insn_aux_data untouched. This causes a
mismatch between subprog instructions and the global state, making it
difficult to use the global data in the JIT.
To avoid this mismatch, and given that all arch-specific JITs already
support constants blinding, move it to the generic verifier code, and
switch to rewrite the global env->prog->insnsi with the global states
adjusted, as other rewrites in the verifier do.
This removes the constants blinding calls in each JIT, which are largely
duplicated code across architectures.
Since constants blinding is only required for JIT, and there are two
JIT entry functions, jit_subprogs() for BPF programs with multiple
subprogs and bpf_prog_select_runtime() for programs with no subprogs,
move the constants blinding invocation into these two functions.
In the verifier path, bpf_patch_insn_data() is used to keep global
verifier auxiliary data in sync with patched instructions. A key
question is whether this global auxiliary data should be restored
on the failure path.
Besides instructions, bpf_patch_insn_data() adjusts:
- prog->aux->poke_tab
- env->insn_array_maps
- env->subprog_info
- env->insn_aux_data
For prog->aux->poke_tab, it is only used by JIT or only meaningful after
JIT succeeds, so it does not need to be restored on the failure path.
For env->insn_array_maps, when JIT fails, programs using insn arrays
are rejected by bpf_insn_array_ready() due to missing JIT addresses.
Hence, env->insn_array_maps is only meaningful for JIT and does not need
to be restored.
For subprog_info, if jit_subprogs fails and CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON
is not enabled, kernel falls back to interpreter. In this case,
env->subprog_info is used to determine subprogram stack depth. So it
must be restored on failure.
For env->insn_aux_data, it is freed by clear_insn_aux_data() at the
end of bpf_check(). Before freeing, clear_insn_aux_data() loops over
env->insn_aux_data to release jump targets recorded in it. The loop
uses env->prog->len as the array length, but this length no longer
matches the actual size of the adjusted env->insn_aux_data array after
constants blinding.
To address it, a simple approach is to keep insn_aux_data as adjusted
after failure, since it will be freed shortly, and record its actual size
for the loop in clear_insn_aux_data(). But since clear_insn_aux_data()
uses the same index to loop over both env->prog->insnsi and env->insn_aux_data,
this approach results in incorrect index for the insnsi array. So an
alternative approach is adopted: clone the original env->insn_aux_data
before blinding and restore it after failure, similar to env->prog.
For classic BPF programs, constants blinding works as before since it
is still invoked from bpf_prog_select_runtime().

bpf_jit_subprogs() copies various fields from the main program's aux to
each subprogram's aux, but omits the BPF token. This causes
bpf_prog_kallsyms_add() to fail for subprograms loaded via BPF token,
as bpf_token_capable() falls back to capable() in init_user_ns when
token is NULL.
Copy prog->aux->token to func[i]->aux->token so that subprograms
inherit the same capability delegation as the main program.
