bpf, testing: Workaround a verifier failure for test_progs
With latest llvm compiler, running test_progs will have the following
verifier failure for test_sysctl_loop1.o:
libbpf: load bpf program failed: Permission denied
libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG ---
libbpf:
invalid indirect read from stack var_off (0x0; 0xff)+196 size 7
...
libbpf: -- END LOG --
libbpf: failed to load program 'cgroup/sysctl'
libbpf: failed to load object 'test_sysctl_loop1.o'
The related bytecode looks as below:
0000000000000308 LBB0_8:
97: r4 = r10
98: r4 += -288
99: r4 += r7
100: w8 &= 255
101: r1 = r10
102: r1 += -488
103: r1 += r8
104: r2 = 7
105: r3 = 0
106: call 106
107: w1 = w0
108: w1 += -1
109: if w1 > 6 goto -24 <LBB0_5>
110: w0 += w8
111: r7 += 8
112: w8 = w0
113: if r7 != 224 goto -17 <LBB0_8>
And source code:
for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(tcp_mem); ++i) {
ret = bpf_strtoul(value + off, MAX_ULONG_STR_LEN, 0,
tcp_mem + i);
if (ret <= 0 || ret > MAX_ULONG_STR_LEN)
return 0;
off += ret & MAX_ULONG_STR_LEN;
}
Current verifier is not able to conclude that register w0 before '+'
at insn 110 has a range of 1 to 7 and thinks it is from 0 - 255. This
leads to more conservative range for w8 at insn 112, and later verifier
complaint.
Let us workaround this issue until we found a compiler and/or verifier
solution. The workaround in this patch is to make variable 'ret' volatile,
which will force a reload and then '&' operation to ensure better value
range. With this patch, I got the below byte code for the loop:
0000000000000328 LBB0_9:
101: r4 = r10
102: r4 += -288
103: r4 += r7
104: w8 &= 255
105: r1 = r10
106: r1 += -488
107: r1 += r8
108: r2 = 7
109: r3 = 0
110: call 106
111: *(u32 *)(r10 - 64) = r0
112: r1 = *(u32 *)(r10 - 64)
113: if w1 s< 1 goto -28 <LBB0_5>
114: r1 = *(u32 *)(r10 - 64)
115: if w1 s> 7 goto -30 <LBB0_5>
116: r1 = *(u32 *)(r10 - 64)
117: w1 &= 7
118: w1 += w8
119: r7 += 8
120: w8 = w1
121: if r7 != 224 goto -21 <LBB0_9>
Insn 117 did the '&' operation and we got more precise value range
for 'w8' at insn 120. The test is happy then:
