[PATCH bpf-next] bpf: make the verifier trace the "not qeual" for regs

From: Menglong Dong
Date: Sun Dec 10 2023 - 08:00:39 EST


We can derive some new information for BPF_JNE in regs_refine_cond_op().
Take following code for example:

/* The type of "a" is u16 */
if (a > 0 && a < 100) {
/* the range of the register for a is [0, 99], not [1, 99],
* and will cause the following error:
*
* invalid zero-sized read
*
* as a can be 0.
*/
bpf_skb_store_bytes(skb, xx, xx, a, 0);
}

In the code above, "a > 0" will be compiled to "jmp xxx if a == 0". In the
TRUE branch, the dst_reg will be marked as known to 0. However, in the
fallthrough(FALSE) branch, the dst_reg will not be handled, which makes
the [min, max] for a is [0, 99], not [1, 99].

For BPF_JNE, we can reduce the range of the dst reg if the src reg is a
const and is exactly the edge of the dst reg.
