[PATCH bpf-next v2 1/2] bpf: limit bpf_core_types_are_compat() recursion

From: Matteo Croce
Date: Wed Feb 02 2022 - 16:13:44 EST


From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In userspace, bpf_core_types_are_compat() is a recursive function which
can't be put in the kernel as is.
Limit the recursion depth to 2, to avoid potential stack overflows
in kernel.

+ * kind should match for local and target types (i.e., STRUCT is not
+ * compatible with UNION);
+ * - for ENUMs, the size is ignored;
+ * - for INT, size and signedness are ignored;
+ * - for ARRAY, dimensionality is ignored, element types are checked for
+ * compatibility recursively;
+ * - CONST/VOLATILE/RESTRICT modifiers are ignored;
+ * - TYPEDEFs/PTRs are compatible if types they pointing to are compatible;
+ * - FUNC_PROTOs are compatible if they have compatible signature: same
+ * number of input args and compatible return and argument types.
+ * These rules are not set in stone and probably will be adjusted as we get
+ * more experience with using BPF CO-RE relocations.
