Spectre v4 gadgets make use of memory disambiguation, which is a set of
techniques that execute memory access instructions, that is, loads and
stores, out of program order; Intel's optimization manual, section 2.4.4.5:

  A load instruction micro-op may depend on a preceding store. Many
  microarchitectures block loads until all preceding store addresses are
  known. The memory disambiguator predicts which loads will not depend on
  any previous stores. When the disambiguator predicts that a load does
  not have such a dependency, the load takes its data from the L1 data
  cache. Eventually, the prediction is verified. If an actual conflict is
  detected, the load and all succeeding instructions are re-executed.

af86ca4e3088 ("bpf: Prevent memory disambiguation attack") tried to mitigate
this attack by sanitizing the memory locations through preemptive "fast"
(low latency) stores of zero prior to the actual "slow" (high latency) store
of a pointer value such that upon dependency misprediction the CPU then
speculatively executes the load of the pointer value and retrieves the zero
value instead of the attacker controlled scalar value previously stored at
that location, meaning, subsequent access in the speculative domain is then
redirected to the "zero page".

The sanitized preemptive store of zero prior to the actual "slow" store is
done through a simple ST instruction based on r10 (frame pointer) with
relative offset to the stack location that the verifier has been tracking
on the original used register for STX, which does not have to be r10. Thus,
there are no memory dependencies for this store, since it's only using r10
and immediate constant of zero; hence af86ca4e3088 /assumed/ a low latency
operation.

However, a recent attack demonstrated that this mitigation is not sufficient
since the preemptive store of zero could also be turned into a "slow" store
and is thus bypassed as well:

  [...]
  // r2 = oob address (e.g. scalar)
  // r7 = pointer to map value
  31: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -16) = r2
  // r9 will remain "fast" register, r10 will become "slow" register below
  32: (bf) r9 = r10
  // JIT maps BPF reg to x86 reg:
  //  r9  -&gt; r15 (callee saved)
  //  r10 -&gt; rbp
  // train store forward prediction to break dependency link between both r9
  // and r10 by evicting them from the predictor's LRU table.

  // ffffffff8117eeee: c3                    ret
  545: (18) r1 = map[id:4]
  547: (bf) r2 = r7
  548: (b7) r3 = 0
  549: (b7) r4 = 4
  550: (85) call bpf_ringbuf_output#194288
  // instruction 551 inserted by verifier    \
  551: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -16) = 0            | /both/ are now slow stores here
  // storing map value pointer r7 at fp-16   | since value of r10 is "slow".
  552: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -16) = r7           /
  // following "fast" read to the same memory location, but due to dependency
  // misprediction it will speculatively execute before insn 551/552 completes.
  553: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r9 -16)
  // in speculative domain contains attacker controlled r2. in non-speculative
  // domain this contains r7, and thus accesses r7 +0 below.
  554: (71) r3 = *(u8 *)(r2 +0)
  // leak r3

As can be seen, the current speculative store bypass mitigation which the
verifier inserts at line 551 is insufficient since /both/, the write of
the zero sanitation as well as the map value pointer are a high latency
instruction due to prior memory access via push/pop of r10 (rbp) in contrast
to the low latency read in line 553 as r9 (r15) which stays in hardware
registers. Thus, architecturally, fp-16 is r7, however, microarchitecturally,
fp-16 can still be r2.

Initial thoughts to address this issue was to track spilled pointer loads
from stack and enforce their load via LDX through r10 as well so that /both/
the preemptive store of zero /as well as/ the load use the /same/ register
such that a dependency is created between the store and load. However, this
option is not sufficient either since it can be bypassed as well under
speculation. An updated attack with pointer spill/fills now _all_ based on
r10 would look as follows:

  [...]
  // r2 = oob address (e.g. scalar)
  // r7 = pointer to map value
  [...]

  2097: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29808) = r0
  2098: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29812) = r0
  // overwrite scalar with dummy pointer; same as before, also including the
  // sanitation store with 0 from the current mitigation by the verifier.
  2099: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -16) = 0         | /both/ are now slow stores here
  2100: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -16) = r7        | since store unit is still busy.
  // load from stack intended to bypass stores.
  2101: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r10 -16)
  2102: (71) r3 = *(u8 *)(r2 +0)
  // leak r3
  [...]

Looking at the CPU microarchitecture, the scheduler might issue loads (such
as seen in line 2101) before stores (line 2099,2100) because the load execution
units become available while the store execution unit is still busy with the
sequence of dummy stores (line 2069-2098). And so the load may use the prior
stored scalar from r2 at address r10 -16 for speculation. The updated attack
may work less reliable on CPU microarchitectures where loads and stores share
execution resources.

This concludes that the sanitizing with zero stores from af86ca4e3088 ("bpf:
Prevent memory disambiguation attack") is insufficient. Moreover, the detection
of stack reuse from af86ca4e3088 where previously data (STACK_MISC) has been
written to a given stack slot where a pointer value is now to be stored does
not have sufficient coverage as precondition for the mitigation either; for
several reasons outlined as follows:

 1) Stack content from prior program runs could still be preserved and is
    therefore not "random", best example is to split a speculative store
    bypass attack between tail calls, program A would prepare and store the
    oob address at a given stack slot and then tail call into program B which
    does the "slow" store of a pointer to the stack with subsequent "fast"
    read. From program B PoV such stack slot type is STACK_INVALID, and
    therefore also must be subject to mitigation.

 2) The STACK_SPILL must not be coupled to register_is_const(&amp;stack-&gt;spilled_ptr)
    condition, for example, the previous content of that memory location could
    also be a pointer to map or map value. Without the fix, a speculative
    store bypass is not mitigated in such precondition and can then lead to
    a type confusion in the speculative domain leaking kernel memory near
    these pointer types.

While brainstorming on various alternative mitigation possibilities, we also
stumbled upon a retrospective from Chrome developers [0]:

  [...] For variant 4, we implemented a mitigation to zero the unused memory
  of the heap prior to allocation, which cost about 1% when done concurrently
  and 4% for scavenging. Variant 4 defeats everything we could think of. We
  explored more mitigations for variant 4 but the threat proved to be more
  pervasive and dangerous than we anticipated. For example, stack slots used
  by the register allocator in the optimizing compiler could be subject to
  type confusion, leading to pointer crafting. Mitigating type confusion for
  stack slots alone would have required a complete redesign of the backend of
  the optimizing compiler, perhaps man years of work, without a guarantee of
  completeness. [...]

From BPF side, the problem space is reduced, however, options are rather
limited. One idea that has been explored was to xor-obfuscate pointer spills
to the BPF stack:

  [...]
  // preoccupy the CPU store port by running sequence of dummy stores.
  [...]
  2106: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29796) = r0
  2107: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29800) = r0
  2108: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29804) = r0
  2109: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29808) = r0
  2110: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29812) = r0
  // overwrite scalar with dummy pointer; xored with random 'secret' value
  // of 943576462 before store ...
  2111: (b4) w11 = 943576462
  2112: (af) r11 ^= r7
  2113: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -16) = r11
  2114: (79) r11 = *(u64 *)(r10 -16)
  2115: (b4) w2 = 943576462
  2116: (af) r2 ^= r11
  // ... and restored with the same 'secret' value with the help of AX reg.
  2117: (71) r3 = *(u8 *)(r2 +0)
  [...]

While the above would not prevent speculation, it would make data leakage
infeasible by directing it to random locations. In order to be effective
and prevent type confusion under speculation, such random secret would have
to be regenerated for each store. The additional complexity involved for a
tracking mechanism that prevents jumps such that restoring spilled pointers
would not get corrupted is not worth the gain for unprivileged. Hence, the
fix in here eventually opted for emitting a non-public BPF_ST | BPF_NOSPEC
instruction which the x86 JIT translates into a lfence opcode. Inserting the
latter in between the store and load instruction is one of the mitigations
options [1]. The x86 instruction manual notes:

  [...] An LFENCE that follows an instruction that stores to memory might
  complete before the data being stored have become globally visible. [...]

The latter meaning that the preceding store instruction finished execution
and the store is at minimum guaranteed to be in the CPU's store queue, but
it's not guaranteed to be in that CPU's L1 cache at that point (globally
visible). The latter would only be guaranteed via sfence. So the load which
is guaranteed to execute after the lfence for that local CPU would have to
rely on store-to-load forwarding. [2], in section 2.3 on store buffers says:

  [...] For every store operation that is added to the ROB, an entry is
  allocated in the store buffer. This entry requires both the virtual and
  physical address of the target. Only if there is no free entry in the store
  buffer, the frontend stalls until there is an empty slot available in the
  store buffer again. Otherwise, the CPU can immediately continue adding
  subsequent instructions to the ROB and execute them out of order. On Intel
  CPUs, the store buffer has up to 56 entries. [...]

One small upside on the fix is that it lifts constraints from af86ca4e3088
where the sanitize_stack_off relative to r10 must be the same when coming
from different paths. The BPF_ST | BPF_NOSPEC gets emitted after a BPF_STX
or BPF_ST instruction. This happens either when we store a pointer or data
value to the BPF stack for the first time, or upon later pointer spills.
The former needs to be enforced since otherwise stale stack data could be
leaked under speculation as outlined earlier. For non-x86 JITs the BPF_ST |
BPF_NOSPEC mapping is currently optimized away, but others could emit a
speculation barrier as well if necessary. For real-world unprivileged
programs e.g. generated by LLVM, pointer spill/fill is only generated upon
register pressure and LLVM only tries to do that for pointers which are not
used often. The program main impact will be the initial BPF_ST | BPF_NOSPEC
sanitation for the STACK_INVALID case when the first write to a stack slot
occurs e.g. upon map lookup. In future we might refine ways to mitigate
the latter cost.

Spectre v4 gadgets make use of memory disambiguation, which is a set of
techniques that execute memory access instructions, that is, loads and
stores, out of program order; Intel's optimization manual, section 2.4.4.5:

  A load instruction micro-op may depend on a preceding store. Many
  microarchitectures block loads until all preceding store addresses are
  known. The memory disambiguator predicts which loads will not depend on
  any previous stores. When the disambiguator predicts that a load does
  not have such a dependency, the load takes its data from the L1 data
  cache. Eventually, the prediction is verified. If an actual conflict is
  detected, the load and all succeeding instructions are re-executed.

af86ca4e3088 ("bpf: Prevent memory disambiguation attack") tried to mitigate
this attack by sanitizing the memory locations through preemptive "fast"
(low latency) stores of zero prior to the actual "slow" (high latency) store
of a pointer value such that upon dependency misprediction the CPU then
speculatively executes the load of the pointer value and retrieves the zero
value instead of the attacker controlled scalar value previously stored at
that location, meaning, subsequent access in the speculative domain is then
redirected to the "zero page".

The sanitized preemptive store of zero prior to the actual "slow" store is
done through a simple ST instruction based on r10 (frame pointer) with
relative offset to the stack location that the verifier has been tracking
on the original used register for STX, which does not have to be r10. Thus,
there are no memory dependencies for this store, since it's only using r10
and immediate constant of zero; hence af86ca4e3088 /assumed/ a low latency
operation.

However, a recent attack demonstrated that this mitigation is not sufficient
since the preemptive store of zero could also be turned into a "slow" store
and is thus bypassed as well:

  [...]
  // r2 = oob address (e.g. scalar)
  // r7 = pointer to map value
  31: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -16) = r2
  // r9 will remain "fast" register, r10 will become "slow" register below

  // misprediction it will speculatively execute before insn 551/552 completes.
  553: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r9 -16)
  // in speculative domain contains attacker controlled r2. in non-speculative
  // domain this contains r7, and thus accesses r7 +0 below.
  554: (71) r3 = *(u8 *)(r2 +0)
  // leak r3

As can be seen, the current speculative store bypass mitigation which the
verifier inserts at line 551 is insufficient since /both/, the write of
the zero sanitation as well as the map value pointer are a high latency
instruction due to prior memory access via push/pop of r10 (rbp) in contrast
to the low latency read in line 553 as r9 (r15) which stays in hardware
registers. Thus, architecturally, fp-16 is r7, however, microarchitecturally,
fp-16 can still be r2.

Initial thoughts to address this issue was to track spilled pointer loads
from stack and enforce their load via LDX through r10 as well so that /both/
the preemptive store of zero /as well as/ the load use the /same/ register
such that a dependency is created between the store and load. However, this
option is not sufficient either since it can be bypassed as well under
speculation. An updated attack with pointer spill/fills now _all_ based on
r10 would look as follows:

  2101: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r10 -16)
  2102: (71) r3 = *(u8 *)(r2 +0)
  // leak r3
  [...]

Looking at the CPU microarchitecture, the scheduler might issue loads (such
as seen in line 2101) before stores (line 2099,2100) because the load execution
units become available while the store execution unit is still busy with the
sequence of dummy stores (line 2069-2098). And so the load may use the prior
stored scalar from r2 at address r10 -16 for speculation. The updated attack
may work less reliable on CPU microarchitectures where loads and stores share
execution resources.

This concludes that the sanitizing with zero stores from af86ca4e3088 ("bpf:
Prevent memory disambiguation attack") is insufficient. Moreover, the detection
of stack reuse from af86ca4e3088 where previously data (STACK_MISC) has been
written to a given stack slot where a pointer value is now to be stored does
not have sufficient coverage as precondition for the mitigation either; for
several reasons outlined as follows:

 1) Stack content from prior program runs could still be preserved and is
    therefore not "random", best example is to split a speculative store
    bypass attack between tail calls, program A would prepare and store the
    oob address at a given stack slot and then tail call into program B which
    does the "slow" store of a pointer to the stack with subsequent "fast"
    read. From program B PoV such stack slot type is STACK_INVALID, and
    therefore also must be subject to mitigation.

 2) The STACK_SPILL must not be coupled to register_is_const(&amp;stack-&gt;spilled_ptr)
    condition, for example, the previous content of that memory location could
    also be a pointer to map or map value. Without the fix, a speculative
    store bypass is not mitigated in such precondition and can then lead to
    a type confusion in the speculative domain leaking kernel memory near
    these pointer types.

While brainstorming on various alternative mitigation possibilities, we also
stumbled upon a retrospective from Chrome developers [0]:

  [...] For variant 4, we implemented a mitigation to zero the unused memory
  of the heap prior to allocation, which cost about 1% when done concurrently
  and 4% for scavenging. Variant 4 defeats everything we could think of. We
  explored more mitigations for variant 4 but the threat proved to be more
  pervasive and dangerous than we anticipated. For example, stack slots used
  by the register allocator in the optimizing compiler could be subject to
  type confusion, leading to pointer crafting. Mitigating type confusion for
  stack slots alone would have required a complete redesign of the backend of
  the optimizing compiler, perhaps man years of work, without a guarantee of
  completeness. [...]

From BPF side, the problem space is reduced, however, options are rather
limited. One idea that has been explored was to xor-obfuscate pointer spills
to the BPF stack:

  [...]
  // preoccupy the CPU store port by running sequence of dummy stores.
  [...]
  2106: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29796) = r0
  2107: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29800) = r0
  2108: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29804) = r0
  2109: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29808) = r0
  2110: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29812) = r0
  // overwrite scalar with dummy pointer; xored with random 'secret' value
  // of 943576462 before store ...
  2111: (b4) w11 = 943576462
  2112: (af) r11 ^= r7
  2113: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -16) = r11
  2114: (79) r11 = *(u64 *)(r10 -16)
  2115: (b4) w2 = 943576462
  2116: (af) r2 ^= r11
  // ... and restored with the same 'secret' value with the help of AX reg.
  2117: (71) r3 = *(u8 *)(r2 +0)
  [...]

While the above would not prevent speculation, it would make data leakage
infeasible by directing it to random locations. In order to be effective
and prevent type confusion under speculation, such random secret would have
to be regenerated for each store. The additional complexity involved for a
tracking mechanism that prevents jumps such that restoring spilled pointers
would not get corrupted is not worth the gain for unprivileged. Hence, the
fix in here eventually opted for emitting a non-public BPF_ST | BPF_NOSPEC
instruction which the x86 JIT translates into a lfence opcode. Inserting the
latter in between the store and load instruction is one of the mitigations
options [1]. The x86 instruction manual notes:

  [...] An LFENCE that follows an instruction that stores to memory might
  complete before the data being stored have become globally visible. [...]

The latter meaning that the preceding store instruction finished execution
and the store is at minimum guaranteed to be in the CPU's store queue, but
it's not guaranteed to be in that CPU's L1 cache at that point (globally
visible). The latter would only be guaranteed via sfence. So the load which
is guaranteed to execute after the lfence for that local CPU would have to
rely on store-to-load forwarding. [2], in section 2.3 on store buffers says:

  [...] For every store operation that is added to the ROB, an entry is
  allocated in the store buffer. This entry requires both the virtual and
  physical address of the target. Only if there is no free entry in the store
  buffer, the frontend stalls until there is an empty slot available in the
  store buffer again. Otherwise, the CPU can immediately continue adding
  subsequent instructions to the ROB and execute them out of order. On Intel
  CPUs, the store buffer has up to 56 entries. [...]

One small upside on the fix is that it lifts constraints from af86ca4e3088
where the sanitize_stack_off relative to r10 must be the same when coming
from different paths. The BPF_ST | BPF_NOSPEC gets emitted after a BPF_STX
or BPF_ST instruction. This happens either when we store a pointer or data
value to the BPF stack for the first time, or upon later pointer spills.
The former needs to be enforced since otherwise stale stack data could be
leaked under speculation as outlined earlier. For non-x86 JITs the BPF_ST |
BPF_NOSPEC mapping is currently optimized away, but others could emit a
speculation barrier as well if necessary. For real-world unprivileged
programs e.g. generated by LLVM, pointer spill/fill is only generated upon
register pressure and LLVM only tries to do that for pointers which are not
used often. The program main impact will be the initial BPF_ST | BPF_NOSPEC
sanitation for the STACK_INVALID case when the first write to a stack slot
occurs e.g. upon map lookup. In future we might refine ways to mitigate
the latter cost.

<title>bpf: Introduce BPF nospec instruction for mitigating Spectre v4</title>

In case of JITs, each of the JIT backends compiles the BPF nospec instruction
/either/ to a machine instruction which emits a speculation barrier /or/ to
/no/ machine instruction in case the underlying architecture is not affected
by Speculative Store Bypass or has different mitigations in place already.

This covers both x86 and (implicitly) arm64: In case of x86, we use 'lfence'
instruction for mitigation. In case of arm64, we rely on the firmware mitigation
as controlled via the ssbd kernel parameter. Whenever the mitigation is enabled,
it works for all of the kernel code with no need to provide any additional
instructions here (hence only comment in arm64 JIT). Other archs can follow
as needed. The BPF nospec instruction is specifically targeting Spectre v4
since i) we don't use a serialization barrier for the Spectre v1 case, and
ii) mitigation instructions for v1 and v4 might be different on some archs.

The BPF nospec is required for a future commit, where the BPF verifier does
annotate intermediate BPF programs with speculation barriers.

<title>bpf: Fix pointer arithmetic mask tightening under state pruning</title>

<content type='text'>
In 7fedb63a8307 ("bpf: Tighten speculative pointer arithmetic mask") we
narrowed the offset mask for unprivileged pointer arithmetic in order to
mitigate a corner case where in the speculative domain it is possible to
advance, for example, the map value pointer by up to value_size-1 out-of-
bounds in order to leak kernel memory via side-channel to user space.

The verifier's state pruning for scalars leaves one corner case open
where in the first verification path R_x holds an unknown scalar with an
aux-&gt;alu_limit of e.g. 7, and in a second verification path that same
register R_x, here denoted as R_x', holds an unknown scalar which has
tighter bounds and would thus satisfy range_within(R_x, R_x') as well as
tnum_in(R_x, R_x') for state pruning, yielding an aux-&gt;alu_limit of 3:
Given the second path fits the register constraints for pruning, the final
generated mask from aux-&gt;alu_limit will remain at 7. While technically
not wrong for the non-speculative domain, it would however be possible
to craft similar cases where the mask would be too wide as in 7fedb63a8307.

One way to fix it is to detect the presence of unknown scalar map pointer
arithmetic and force a deeper search on unknown scalars to ensure that
we do not run into a masking mismatch.

Follow-up to fe9a5ca7e370 ("bpf: Do not mark insn as seen under speculative
path verification"). The sanitize_insn_aux_data() helper does not serve a
particular purpose in today's code. The original intention for the helper
was that if function-by-function verification fails, a given program would
be cleared from temporary insn_aux_data[], and then its verification would
be re-attempted in the context of the main program a second time.

However, a failure in do_check_subprogs() will skip do_check_main() and
propagate the error to the user instead, thus such situation can never occur.
Given its interaction is not compatible to the Spectre v1 mitigation (due to
comparing aux-&gt;seen with env-&gt;pass_cnt), just remove sanitize_insn_aux_data()
to avoid future bugs in this area.

Turns out that the program rejection from e411901c0b77 ("bpf: allow for tailcalls
in BPF subprograms for x64 JIT") is buggy since env-&gt;prog-&gt;aux-&gt;tail_call_reachable
is never true. Commit ebf7d1f508a7 ("bpf, x64: rework pro/epilogue and tailcall
handling in JIT") added a tracker into check_max_stack_depth() which propagates
the tail_call_reachable condition throughout the subprograms. This info is then
assigned to the subprogram's func[i]-&gt;aux-&gt;tail_call_reachable. However, in the
case of the rejection check upon JIT failure, env-&gt;prog-&gt;aux-&gt;tail_call_reachable
is used. func[0]-&gt;aux-&gt;tail_call_reachable which represents the main program's
information did not propagate this to the outer env-&gt;prog-&gt;aux, though. Add this
propagation into check_max_stack_depth() where it needs to belong so that the
check can be done reliably.

Subprograms are calling map_poke_track(), but on program release there is no
hook to call map_poke_untrack(). However, on program release, the aux memory
(and poke descriptor table) is freed even though we still have a reference to
it in the element list of the map aux data. When we run map_poke_run(), we then
end up accessing free'd memory, triggering KASAN in prog_array_map_poke_run():

           poke = &amp;elem-&gt;aux-&gt;poke_tab[i];
    [...]

The access to size_poke_tab is a 4 byte read, verified by checking offsets
in the KASAN dump:

  [  402.825004] The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff8881905a7800
                 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-1k of size 1024
  [  402.825008] The buggy address is located 320 bytes inside of
                 1024-byte region [ffff8881905a7800, ffff8881905a7c00)

The pahole output of bpf_prog_aux:

  struct bpf_prog_aux {
    [...]

    u32                        size_poke_tab;        /*   320     4 */
    [...]

In general, subprograms do not necessarily manage their own data structures.
For example, BTF func_info and linfo are just pointers to the main program
structure. This allows reference counting and cleanup to be done on the latter
which simplifies their management a bit. The aux-&gt;poke_tab struct, however,
did not follow this logic. The initial proposed fix for this use-after-free
bug further embedded poke data tracking into the subprogram with proper
reference counting. However, Daniel and Alexei questioned why we were treating
these objects special; I agree, its unnecessary. The fix here removes the per
subprogram poke table allocation and map tracking and instead simply points
the aux-&gt;poke_tab pointer at the main programs poke table. This way, map
tracking is simplified to the main program and we do not need to manage them
per subprogram.

This also means, bpf_prog_free_deferred(), which unwinds the program reference
counting and kfrees objects, needs to ensure that we don't try to double free
the poke_tab when free'ing the subprog structures. This is easily solved by
NULL'ing the poke_tab pointer. The second detail is to ensure that per
subprogram JIT logic only does fixups on poke_tab[] entries it owns. To do
this, we add a pointer in the poke structure to point at the subprogram value
so JITs can easily check while walking the poke_tab structure if the current
entry belongs to the current program. The aux pointer is stable and therefore
suitable for such comparison. On the jit_subprogs() error path, we omit
cleaning up the poke-&gt;aux field because these are only ever referenced from
the JIT side, but on error we will never make it to the JIT, so its fine to
leave them dangling. Removing these pointers would complicate the error path
for no reason. However, we do need to untrack all poke descriptors from the
main program as otherwise they could race with the freeing of JIT memory from
the subprograms. Lastly, a748c6975dea3 ("bpf: propagate poke descriptors to
subprograms") had an off-by-one on the subprogram instruction index range
check as it was testing 'insn_idx &gt;= subprog_start &amp;&amp; insn_idx &lt;= subprog_end'.
However, subprog_end is the next subprogram's start instruction.

There were a couple of READ_ONCE()-invocations left-over by the devmap
RCU conversion. Convert these to rcu_dereference_check() as well to avoid
complaints from sparse.

kmemleak scans struct page, but it does not scan the page content. If we
allocate some memory with kmalloc(), then allocate page with alloc_page(),
and if we put kmalloc pointer somewhere inside that page, kmemleak will
report kmalloc pointer as a false positive.

We can instruct kmemleak to scan the memory area by calling kmemleak_alloc()
and kmemleak_free(), but part of struct bpf_ringbuf is mmaped to user space,
and if struct bpf_ringbuf changes we would have to revisit and review size
argument in kmemleak_alloc(), because we do not want kmemleak to scan the
user space memory. Let's simplify things and use kmemleak_not_leak() here.

For posterity, also adding additional prior analysis from Andrii:

  I think either kmemleak or syzbot are misreporting this. I've added a
  bunch of printks around all allocations performed by BPF ringbuf. [...]
  On repro side I get these two warnings:

  Note that both reported leaks (ffff88810d538c80 and ffff88810d538c00)
  correspond to pages array bpf_ringbuf is allocating and tracking properly
  internally. Note also that syzbot repro doesn't close FD of created BPF
  ringbufs, and even when ./repro itself exits with error, there are still
  two forked processes hanging around in my system. So clearly ringbuf maps
  are alive at that point. So reporting any memory leak looks weird at that
  point, because that memory is being used by active referenced BPF ringbuf.

  It's also a question why repro doesn't clean up its forks. But if I do a
  `pkill repro`, I do see that all the allocated memory is /properly/ cleaned
  up [and the] "leaks" are deallocated properly.

  BTW, if I add close() right after bpf() syscall in syzbot repro, I see that
  everything is immediately deallocated, like designed. And no memory leak
  is reported. So I don't think the problem is anywhere in bpf_ringbuf code,
  rather in the leak detection and/or repro itself.
