Shubham was recently asking on netdev why in arm64 JIT we don't multiply
the index for accessing the tail call map by 8. That led me into testing
out arm64 JIT wrt tail calls and it turned out I got a NULL pointer
dereference on the tail call.
The buggy access is at:
prog = array->ptrs[index];
if (prog == NULL)
goto out;
[...]
00000060: d2800e0a mov x10, #0x70 // #112
00000064: f86a682a ldr x10, [x1,x10]
00000068: f862694b ldr x11, [x10,x2]
0000006c: b40000ab cbz x11, 0x00000080
[...]
The code triggering the crash is f862694b. x1 at the time contains the
address of the bpf array, x10 offsetof(struct bpf_array, ptrs). Meaning,
above we load the pointer to the program at map slot 0 into x10. x10
can then be NULL if the slot is not occupied, which we later on try to
access with a user given offset in x2 that is the map index.
Fix this by emitting the following instead:
[...]
00000060: d2800e0a mov x10, #0x70 // #112
00000064: 8b0a002a add x10, x1, x10
00000068: d37df04b lsl x11, x2, #3
0000006c: f86b694b ldr x11, [x10,x11]
00000070: b40000ab cbz x11, 0x00000084
[...]
This basically adds the offset to ptrs to the base address of the bpf
array we got and we later on access the map with an index * 8 offset
relative to that. The tail call map itself is basically one large area
with meta data at the head followed by the array of prog pointers.
This makes tail calls working again, tested on Cavium ThunderX ARMv8.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
