commit 3612af783cf52c74a031a2f11b82247b2599d3cd upstream. Marek reported that he saw an issue with the below snippet in that timing measurements where off when loaded as unpriv while results were reasonable when loaded as privileged: [...] uint64_t a = bpf_ktime_get_ns(); uint64_t b = bpf_ktime_get_ns(); uint64_t delta = b - a; if ((int64_t)delta > 0) { [...] Turns out there is a bug where a corner case is missing in the fix d3bd7413e0ca ("bpf: fix sanitation of alu op with pointer / scalar type from different paths"), namely fixup_bpf_calls() only checks whether aux has a non-zero alu_state, but it also needs to test for the case of BPF_ALU_NON_POINTER since in both occasions we need to skip the masking rewrite (as there is nothing to mask).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
