bpf: fix buggy r0 retval refinement for tracing helpers
[ no upstream commit ] See the glory details in 100605035e15 ("bpf: Verifier, do_refine_retval_range may clamp umin to 0 incorrectly") for why 849fa506 ("bpf/verifier: refine retval R0 state for bpf_get_stack helper") is buggy. The whole series however is not suitable for stable since it adds significant amount [0] of verifier complexity in order to add 32bit subreg tracking. Something simpler is needed. Unfortunately, reverting 849fa506 ("bpf/verifier: refine retval R0 state for bpf_get_stack helper") or just cherry-picking 100605035e15 ("bpf: Verifier, do_refine_retval_range may clamp umin to 0 incorrectly") is not an option since it will break existing tracing programs badly (at least those that are using bpf_get_stack() and bpf_probe_read_str() helpers). Not fixing it in stable is also not an option since on 4.19 kernels an error will cause a soft-lockup due to hitting dead-code sanitized branch since we don't hard-wire such branches in old kernels yet. But even then for 5.x 849fa506 ("bpf/verifier: refine retval R0 state for bpf_get_stack helper") would cause wrong bounds on the verifier simluation when an error is hit. In one of the earlier iterations of mentioned patch series for upstream there was the concern that just using smax_value in do_refine_retval_range() would nuke bounds by subsequent <<32 >>32 shifts before the comparison against 0 [1] which eventually led to the 32bit subreg tracking in the first place. While I initially went for implementing the idea [1] to pattern match the two shift operations, it turned out to be more complex than actually needed, meaning, we could simply treat do_refine_retval_range() similarly to how we branch off verification for conditionals or under speculation, that is, pushing a new reg state to the stack for later verification. This means, instead of verifying the current path with the ret_reg in [S32MIN, msize_max_value] interval where later bounds would get nuked, we split this into two: i) for the success case where ret_reg can be in [0, msize_max_value], and ii) for the error case with ret_reg known to be in interval [S32MIN, -1]. Latter will preserve the bounds during these shift patterns and can match reg < 0 test. test_progs also succeed with this approach.
