bpf: Keep stack arguments in arch_bpf_timed_may_goto()
The JITs pass the first stack arguments of a call in registers:
x86-64 r9 argument 6
arm64 x5-x7 arguments 6-8
riscv64 a5-a7 arguments 6-8
'*(u64 *)(r11 - 8) = rX' writes such a register in the caller.
'rX = *(u64 *)(r11 + 8)' reads it in the callee. A call changes these
registers. Thus the verifier accepts no call between the write and the call
of the callee, and no call in the callee before the read.
may_goto is not a call for the verifier. But one time in 65535 iterations
it calls arch_bpf_timed_may_goto(), and this function calls C code. It
saves R0-R5 only.
*(u64 *)(r11 - 8) = 0 ; the verifier: argument 6 is 0
call sub
sub:
1: may_goto 2f ; C code changes r9
goto 1b
2: r2 = *(u64 *)(r11 + 8) ; r2 is a kernel address
r1 = map_value
r1 += r2
*(u64 *)(r1 + 0) = 0
On x86-64 the C code changes r9 when the time of may_goto is up. With the
hpet clocksource a look at the clock changes r9 too. The prog above crashes
the kernel. LLVM does not emit such code: it reads stack arguments at the
entry of a function, and it writes them immediately before the call.
Save and restore these registers too. The cost is 2 insns on x86-64, 4 on
arm64 and 6 on riscv64, one time in 65535 iterations.
