bpf/btf: Accept function names that contain dots
[ Upstream commit 9724160b ] When building a kernel with LLVM=1, LLVM_IAS=0 and CONFIG_KASAN=y, LLVM leaves DWARF tags for the "asan.module_ctor" & co symbols. In turn, pahole creates BTF_KIND_FUNC entries for these and this makes the BTF metadata validation fail because they contain a dot. In a dramatic turn of event, this BTF verification failure can cause the netfilter_bpf initialization to fail, causing netfilter_core to free the netfilter_helper hashmap and netfilter_ftp to trigger a use-after-free. The risk of u-a-f in netfilter will be addressed separately but the existence of "asan.module_ctor" debug info under some build conditions sounds like a good enough reason to accept functions that contain dots in BTF. Although using only LLVM=1 is the recommended way to compile clang-based kernels, users can certainly do LLVM=1, LLVM_IAS=0 as well and we still try to support that combination according to Nick. To clarify: - > v5.10 kernel, LLVM=1 (LLVM_IAS=0 is not the default) is recommended, but user can still have LLVM=1, LLVM_IAS=0 to trigger the issue - <= 5.10 kernel, LLVM=1 (LLVM_IAS=0 is the default) is recommended in which case GNU as will be used Fixes: 1dc92851 ("bpf: kernel side support for BTF Var and DataSec") Signed-off-by: Florent Revest <revest@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Cc: Yonghong Song <yhs@meta.com> Cc: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230615145607.3469985-1-revest@chromium.org Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
