Currently, for BPF_JEQ/BPF_JNE insn, verifier determines whether the branch is taken or not only if both operands are constants. Therefore, for the following code snippet, 0: (85) call bpf_ktime_get_ns#5 ; R0_w=scalar() 1: (a5) if r0 < 0x3 goto pc+2 ; R0_w=scalar(umin=3) 2: (b7) r2 = 2 ; R2_w=2 3: (1d) if r0 == r2 goto pc+2 6 At insn 3, since r0 is not a constant, verifier assumes both branch can be taken which may lead inproper verification failure. Add comparing umin/umax value and the constant. If the umin value is greater than the constant, or umax value is smaller than the constant, for JEQ the branch must be not-taken, and for JNE the branch must be taken. The jmp32 mode JEQ/JNE branch taken checking is also handled similarly. The following lists the veristat result w.r.t. changed number of processes insns during verification: File Program Insns (A) Insns (B) Insns (DIFF) ----------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- --------- --------- --------------- test_cls_redirect.bpf.linked3.o cls_redirect 64980 73472 +8492 (+13.07%) test_seg6_loop.bpf.linked3.o __add_egr_x 12425 12423 -2 (-0.02%) test_tcp_hdr_options.bpf.linked3.o estab 2634 2558 -76 (-2.89%) test_parse_tcp_hdr_opt.bpf.linked3.o xdp_ingress_v6 1421 1420 -1 (-0.07%) test_parse_tcp_hdr_opt_dynptr.bpf.linked3.o xdp_ingress_v6 1238 1237 -1 (-0.08%) test_tc_dtime.bpf.linked3.o egress_fwdns_prio100 414 411 -3 (-0.72%) Mostly a small improvement but test_cls_redirect.bpf.linked3.o has a 13% regression. I checked with verifier log and found it this is due to pruning. For some JEQ/JNE branches impacted by this patch, one branch is explored and the other has state equivalence and pruned.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
