bpf: Fix an error in verifying a field in a union
We are utilizing BPF LSM to monitor BPF operations within our container environment. When we add support for raw_tracepoint, it hits below error. ; (const void *)attr->raw_tracepoint.name); 27: (79) r3 = *(u64 *)(r2 +0) access beyond the end of member map_type (mend:4) in struct (anon) with off 0 size 8 It can be reproduced with below BPF prog. SEC("lsm/bpf") int BPF_PROG(bpf_audit, int cmd, union bpf_attr *attr, unsigned int size) { switch (cmd) { case BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN: bpf_printk("raw_tracepoint is %s", attr->raw_tracepoint.name); break; default: break; } return 0; } The reason is that when accessing a field in a union, such as bpf_attr, if the field is located within a nested struct that is not the first member of the union, it can result in incorrect field verification. union bpf_attr { struct { __u32 map_type; <<<< Actually it will find that field. __u32 key_size; __u32 value_size; ... }; ... struct { __u64 name; <<<< We want to verify this field. __u32 prog_fd; } raw_tracepoint; }; Considering the potential deep nesting levels, finding a perfect solution to address this issue has proven challenging. Therefore, I propose a solution where we simply skip the verification process if the field in question is located within a union.
