bpf: change bpf_probe_read_str arg2 type to ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO
Commit 9fd29c08e520 ("bpf: improve verifier ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO semantics") relaxed the treatment of ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO due to the way the compiler generates optimized BPF code when checking boundaries of an argument from C code. A typical example of this optimized code can be generated using the bpf_probe_read_str helper when operating on variable memory: /* len is a generic scalar */ if (len > 0 && len <= 0x7fff) bpf_probe_read_str(p, len, s); 251: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r10 -88) 252: (07) r1 += -1 253: (25) if r1 > 0x7ffe goto pc-42 254: (bf) r1 = r7 255: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r10 -88) 256: (bf) r8 = r4 257: (85) call bpf_probe_read_str#45 R2 min value is negative, either use unsigned or 'var &= const' With this code, the verifier loses track of the variable. Replacing arg2 with ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO is thus desirable since it avoids this quite common case which leads to usability issues, and the compiler generates code that the verifier can more easily test: if (len <= 0x7fff) bpf_probe_read_str(p, len, s); or bpf_probe_read_str(p, len & 0x7fff, s); No changes to the bpf_probe_read_str helper are necessary since strncpy_from_unsafe itself immediately returns if the size passed is 0.
