[PATCH bpf v5 0/2] bpf: fix NULL dereference during extable search

From: Krister Johansen
Date: Mon Jun 12 2023 - 20:44:36 EST


Hi,
Enclosed are a pair of patches for an oops that can occur if an exception is
generated while a bpf subprogram is running. One of the bpf_prog_aux entries
for the subprograms are missing an extable. This can lead to an exception that
would otherwise be handled turning into a NULL pointer bug.

These changes were tested via the verifier and progs selftests and no
regressions were observed.

Changes from v4:
- Ensure that num_exentries is copied to prog->aux from func[0] (Feedback from
Ilya Leoshkevich)

Changes from v3:
- Selftest style fixups (Feedback from Yonghong Song)
- Selftest needs to assert that test bpf program executed (Feedback from
Yonghong Song)
- Selftest should combine open and load using open_and_load (Feedback from
Yonghong Song)

Changes from v2:
- Insert only the main program's kallsyms (Feedback from Yonghong Song and
Alexei Starovoitov)
- Selftest should use ASSERT instead of CHECK (Feedback from Yonghong Song)
- Selftest needs some cleanup (Feedback from Yonghong Song)
- Switch patch order (Feedback from Alexei Starovoitov)

Changes from v1:
- Add a selftest (Feedback From Alexei Starovoitov)
- Move to a 1-line verifier change instead of searching multiple extables
