From f858c2b2ca04fc7ead291821a793638ae120c11d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Toke=20H=C3=B8iland-J=C3=B8rgensen?= toke@redhat.com Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2022 09:52:51 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Fix calling global functions from BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT programs MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The verifier allows programs to call global functions as long as their argument types match, using BTF to check the function arguments. One of the allowed argument types to such global functions is PTR_TO_CTX; however the check for this fails on BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT functions because the verifier uses the wrong type to fetch the vmlinux BTF ID for the program context type. This failure is seen when an XDP program is loaded using libxdp (which loads it as BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT and attaches it to a global XDP type program).
Fix the issue by passing in the target program type instead of the BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT type to bpf_prog_get_ctx() when checking function argument compatibility.
The first Fixes tag refers to the latest commit that touched the code in question, while the second one points to the code that first introduced the global function call verification.
v2: - Use resolve_prog_type()
