Yonghong Song 2921c90d47 bpf: Fix a verifier failure with xor
bpf selftest test_progs/test_sk_assign failed with llvm 11 and llvm 12.
Compared to llvm 10, llvm 11 and 12 generates xor instruction which
is not handled properly in verifier. The following illustrates the
problem:

  16: (b4) w5 = 0
  17: ... R5_w=inv0 ...
  ...
  132: (a4) w5 ^= 1
  133: ... R5_w=inv(id=0,umax_value=4294967295,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff)) ...
  ...
  37: (bc) w8 = w5
  38: ... R5=inv(id=0,umax_value=4294967295,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff))
          R8_w=inv(id=0,umax_value=4294967295,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff)) ...
  ...
  41: (bc) w3 = w8
  42: ... R3_w=inv(id=0,umax_value=4294967295,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff)) ...
  45: (56) if w3 != 0x0 goto pc+1
   ... R3_w=inv0 ...
  46: (b7) r1 = 34
  47: R1_w=inv34 R7=pkt(id=0,off=26,r=38,imm=0)
  47: (0f) r7 += r1
  48: R1_w=invP34 R3_w=inv0 R7_w=pkt(id=0,off=60,r=38,imm=0)
  48: (b4) w9 = 0
  49: R1_w=invP34 R3_w=inv0 R7_w=pkt(id=0,off=60,r=38,imm=0)
  49: (69) r1 = *(u16 *)(r7 +0)
  invalid access to packet, off=60 size=2, R7(id=0,off=60,r=38)
  R7 offset is outside of the packet

At above insn 132, w5 = 0, but after w5 ^= 1, we give a really conservative
value of w5. At insn 45, in reality the condition should be always false.
But due to conservative value for w3, the verifier evaluates it could be
true and this later leads to verifier failure complaining potential
packet out-of-bound access.

This patch implemented proper XOR support in verifier.
In the above example, we have:
  132: R5=invP0
  132: (a4) w5 ^= 1
  133: R5_w=invP1
  ...
  37: (bc) w8 = w5
  ...
  41: (bc) w3 = w8
  42: R3_w=invP1
  ...
  45: (56) if w3 != 0x0 goto pc+1
  47: R3_w=invP1
  ...
  processed 353 insns ...
and the verifier can verify the program successfully.

README

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.
