Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== BPF register bounds logic and testing improvements This patch set adds a big set of manual and auto-generated test cases validating BPF verifier's register bounds tracking and deduction logic. See details in the last patch. We start with building a tester that validates existing <range> vs <scalar> verifier logic for range bounds. To make all this work, BPF verifier's logic needed a bunch of improvements to handle some cases that previously were not covered. This had no implications as to correctness of verifier logic, but it was incomplete enough to cause significant disagreements with alternative implementation of register bounds logic that tests in this patch set implement. So we need BPF verifier logic improvements to make all the tests pass. This is what we do in patches #3 through #9. The end goal of this work, though, is to extend BPF verifier range state tracking such as to allow to derive new range bounds when comparing non-const registers. There is some more investigative work required to investigate and fix existing potential issues with range tracking as part of ALU/ALU64 operations, so <range> x <range> part of v5 patch set ([0]) is dropped until these issues are sorted out. For now, we include preparatory refactorings and clean ups, that set up BPF verifier code base to extend the logic to <range> vs <range> logic in subsequent patch set. Patches #10-#16 perform preliminary refactorings without functionally changing anything. But they do clean up check_cond_jmp_op() logic and generalize a bunch of other pieces in is_branch_taken() logic. [0] https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=797178&state=* v5->v6: - dropped <range> vs <range> patches (original patches #18 through #23) to add more register range sanity checks and fix preexisting issues; - comments improvements, addressing other feedback on first 17 patches (Eduard, Alexei); v4->v5: - added entirety of verifier reg bounds tracking changes, now handling <range> vs <range> cases (Alexei); - added way more comments trying to explain why deductions added are correct, hopefully they are useful and clarify things a bit (Daniel, Shung-Hsi); - added two preliminary selftests fixes necessary for RELEASE=1 build to work again, it keeps breaking. v3->v4: - improvements to reg_bounds tester (progress report, split 32-bit and 64-bit ranges, fix various verbosity output issues, etc); v2->v3: - fix a subtle little-endianness assumption inside parge_reg_state() (CI); v1->v2: - fix compilation when building selftests with llvm-16 toolchain (CI). ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231102033759.2541186-1-andrii@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
