bpf: reject passing modified ctx to helper functions As commit 28e33f9d78ee ("bpf: disallow arithmetic operations on context pointer") already describes, f1174f77b50c ("bpf/verifier: rework value tracking") removed the specific white-listed cases we had previously where we would allow for pointer arithmetic in order to further generalize it, and allow e.g. context access via modified registers. While the dereferencing of modified context pointers had been forbidden through 28e33f9d78ee, syzkaller did recently manage to trigger several KASAN splats for slab out of bounds access and use after frees by simply passing a modified context pointer to a helper function which would then do the bad access since verifier allowed it in adjust_ptr_min_max_vals(). Rejecting arithmetic on ctx pointer in adjust_ptr_min_max_vals() generally could break existing programs as there's a valid use case in tracing in combination with passing the ctx to helpers as bpf_probe_read(), where the register then becomes unknown at verification time due to adding a non-constant offset to it. An access sequence may look like the following: offset = args->filename; /* field __data_loc filename */ bpf_probe_read(&dst, len, (char *)args + offset); // args is ctx There are two options: i) we could special case the ctx and as soon as we add a constant or bounded offset to it (hence ctx type wouldn't change) we could turn the ctx into an unknown scalar, or ii) we generalize the sanity test for ctx member access into a small helper and assert it on the ctx register that was passed as a function argument. Fwiw, latter is more obvious and less complex at the same time, and one case that may potentially be legitimate in future for ctx member access at least would be for ctx to carry a const offset. Therefore, fix follows approach from ii) and adds test cases to BPF kselftests.
