Add support for a new instruction
BPF_JMP|BPF_X|BPF_JA, SRC=0, DST=Rx, off=0, imm=0
which does an indirect jump to a location stored in Rx. The register
Rx should have type PTR_TO_INSN. This new type assures that the Rx
register contains a value (or a range of values) loaded from a
correct jump table – map of type instruction array.
For example, for a C switch LLVM will generate the following code:
0: r3 = r1 # "switch (r3)"
1: if r3 > 0x13 goto +0x666 # check r3 boundaries
2: r3 <<= 0x3 # adjust to an index in array of addresses
3: r1 = 0xbeef ll # r1 is PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE, r1->map_ptr=M
5: r1 += r3 # r1 inherits boundaries from r3
6: r1 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 0x0) # r1 now has type INSN_TO_PTR
7: gotox r1 # jit will generate proper code
Here the gotox instruction corresponds to one particular map. This is
possible however to have a gotox instruction which can be loaded from
different maps, e.g.
0: r1 &= 0x1
1: r2 <<= 0x3
2: r3 = 0x0 ll # load from map M_1
4: r3 += r2
5: if r1 == 0x0 goto +0x4
6: r1 <<= 0x3
7: r3 = 0x0 ll # load from map M_2
9: r3 += r1
A: r1 = *(u64 *)(r3 + 0x0)
B: gotox r1 # jump to target loaded from M_1 or M_2
During check_cfg stage the verifier will collect all the maps which
point to inside the subprog being verified. When building the config,
the high 16 bytes of the insn_state are used, so this patch
(theoretically) supports jump tables of up to 2^16 slots.
During the later stage, in check_indirect_jump, it is checked that
the register Rx was loaded from a particular instruction array.

Add the necessary verifier plumbing for the new file-backed dynptr type. Introduce two kfuncs for its lifecycle management: * bpf_dynptr_from_file() for initialization * bpf_dynptr_file_discard() for destruction Currently there is no mechanism for kfunc to release dynptr, this patch add one: * Dynptr release function sets meta->release_regno * Call unmark_stack_slots_dynptr() if meta->release_regno is set and dynptr ref_obj_id is set as well.

Remove register chain based liveness tracking:
- struct bpf_reg_state->{parent,live} fields are no longer needed;
- REG_LIVE_WRITTEN marks are superseded by bpf_mark_stack_write()
calls;
- mark_reg_read() calls are superseded by bpf_mark_stack_read();
- log.c:print_liveness() is superseded by logging in liveness.c;
- propagate_liveness() is superseded by bpf_update_live_stack();
- no need to establish register chains in is_state_visited() anymore;
- fix a bunch of tests expecting "_w" suffixes in verifier log
messages.

Add a dynptr type, similar to skb dynptr, but for the skb metadata access. The dynptr provides an alternative to __sk_buff->data_meta for accessing the custom metadata area allocated using the bpf_xdp_adjust_meta() helper. More importantly, it abstracts away the fact where the storage for the custom metadata lives, which opens up the way to persist the metadata by relocating it as the skb travels through the network stack layers. Writes to skb metadata invalidate any existing skb payload and metadata slices. While this is more restrictive that needed at the moment, it leaves the door open to reallocating the metadata on writes, and should be only a minor inconvenience to the users. Only the program types which can access __sk_buff->data_meta today are allowed to create a dynptr for skb metadata at the moment. We need to modify the network stack to persist the metadata across layers before opening up access to other BPF hooks. Once more BPF hooks gain access to skb_meta dynptr, we will also need to add a read-only variant of the helper similar to bpf_dynptr_from_skb_rdonly. skb_meta dynptr ops are stubbed out and implemented by subsequent changes.

Teach the verifier about IRQ-disabled sections through the introduction of two new kfuncs, bpf_local_irq_save, to save IRQ state and disable them, and bpf_local_irq_restore, to restore IRQ state and enable them back again. For the purposes of tracking the saved IRQ state, the verifier is taught about a new special object on the stack of type STACK_IRQ_FLAG. This is a 8 byte value which saves the IRQ flags which are to be passed back to the IRQ restore kfunc. Renumber the enums for REF_TYPE_* to simplify the check in find_lock_state, filtering out non-lock types as they grow will become cumbersome and is unecessary. To track a dynamic number of IRQ-disabled regions and their associated saved states, a new resource type RES_TYPE_IRQ is introduced, which its state management functions: acquire_irq_state and release_irq_state, taking advantage of the refactoring and clean ups made in earlier commits. One notable requirement of the kernel's IRQ save and restore API is that they cannot happen out of order. For this purpose, when releasing reference we keep track of the prev_id we saw with REF_TYPE_IRQ. Since reference states are inserted in increasing order of the index, this is used to remember the ordering of acquisitions of IRQ saved states, so that we maintain a logical stack in acquisition order of resource identities, and can enforce LIFO ordering when restoring IRQ state. The top of the stack is maintained using bpf_verifier_state's active_irq_id. To maintain the stack property when releasing reference states, we need to modify release_reference_state to instead shift the remaining array left using memmove instead of swapping deleted element with last that might break the ordering. A selftest to test this subtle behavior is added in late patches. The logic to detect initialized and unitialized irq flag slots, marking and unmarking is similar to how it's done for iterators. No additional checks are needed in refsafe for REF_TYPE_IRQ, apart from the usual check_id satisfiability check on the ref[i].id. We have to perform the same check_ids check on state->active_irq_id as well. To ensure we don't get assigned REF_TYPE_PTR by default after acquire_reference_state, if someone forgets to assign the type, let's also renumber the enum ref_state_type. This way any unassigned types get caught by refsafe's default switch statement, don't assume REF_TYPE_PTR by default. The kfuncs themselves are plain wrappers over local_irq_save and local_irq_restore macros.

Currently, state for RCU read locks and preemption is in bpf_verifier_state, while locks and pointer reference state remains in bpf_func_state. There is no particular reason to keep the latter in bpf_func_state. Additionally, it is copied into a new frame's state and copied back to the caller frame's state everytime the verifier processes a pseudo call instruction. This is a bit wasteful, given this state is global for a given verification state / path. Move all resource and reference related state in bpf_verifier_state structure in this patch, in preparation for introducing new reference state types in the future. Since we switch print_verifier_state and friends to print using vstate, we now need to explicitly pass in the verifier state from the caller along with the bpf_func_state, so modify the prototype and callers to do so. To ensure func state matches the verifier state when we're printing data, take in frame number instead of bpf_func_state pointer instead and avoid inconsistencies induced by the caller.

print_reg_state() should not consider adding reg->off to reg->var_off.value
when dumping scalars. Scalars can be produced with reg->off != 0 through
BPF_ADD_CONST, and thus as-is this can skew the register log dump.

Compilers can generate the code r1 = r2 r1 += 0x1 if r2 < 1000 goto ... use knowledge of r2 range in subsequent r1 operations So remember constant delta between r2 and r1 and update r1 after 'if' condition. Unfortunately LLVM still uses this pattern for loops with 'can_loop' construct: for (i = 0; i < 1000 && can_loop; i++) The "undo" pass was introduced in LLVM https://reviews.llvm.org/D121937 to prevent this optimization, but it cannot cover all cases. Instead of fighting middle end optimizer in BPF backend teach the verifier about this pattern.
