bpf: Fix null ptr deref with mixed tail calls and subprogs



The sub-programs prog->aux->poke_tab[] is populated in jit_subprogs() and
then used when emitting 'BPF_JMP|BPF_TAIL_CALL' insn->code from the
individual JITs. The poke_tab[] to use is stored in the insn->imm by
the code adding it to that array slot. The JIT then uses imm to find the
right entry for an individual instruction. In the x86 bpf_jit_comp.c
this is done by calling emit_bpf_tail_call_direct with the poke_tab[]
of the imm value.

However, we observed the below null-ptr-deref when mixing tail call
programs with subprog programs. For this to happen we just need to
mix bpf-2-bpf calls and tailcalls with some extra calls or instructions
that would be patched later by one of the fixup routines. So whats
happening?

Before the fixup_call_args() -- where the jit op is done -- various
code patching is done by do_misc_fixups(). This may increase the
insn count, for example when we patch map_lookup_up using map_gen_lookup
hook. This does two things. First, it means the instruction index,
insn_idx field, of a tail call instruction will move by a 'delta'.

In verifier code,

 struct bpf_jit_poke_descriptor desc = {
  .reason = BPF_POKE_REASON_TAIL_CALL,
  .tail_call.map = BPF_MAP_PTR(aux->map_ptr_state),
  .tail_call.key = bpf_map_key_immediate(aux),
  .insn_idx = i + delta,
 };

Then subprog start values subprog_info[i].start will be updated
with the delta and any poke descriptor index will also be updated
with the delta in adjust_poke_desc(). If we look at the adjust
subprog starts though we see its only adjusted when the delta
occurs before the new instructions,

        /* NOTE: fake 'exit' subprog should be updated as well. */
        for (i = 0; i <= env->subprog_cnt; i++) {
                if (env->subprog_info[i].start <= off)
                        continue;

Earlier subprograms are not changed because their start values
are not moved. But, adjust_poke_desc() does the offset + delta
indiscriminately. The result is poke descriptors are potentially
corrupted.

Then in jit_subprogs() we only populate the poke_tab[]
when the above insn_idx is less than the next subprogram start. From
above we corrupted our insn_idx so we might incorrectly assume a
poke descriptor is not used in a subprogram omitting it from the
subprogram. And finally when the jit runs it does the deref of poke_tab
when emitting the instruction and crashes with below. Because earlier
step omitted the poke descriptor.

The fix is straight forward with above context. Simply move same logic
from adjust_subprog_starts() into adjust_poke_descs() and only adjust
insn_idx when needed.
