This patch adds the bulk of the verifier work for supporting dynamic pointers (dynptrs) in bpf. A bpf_dynptr is opaque to the bpf program. It is a 16-byte structure defined internally as: struct bpf_dynptr_kern { void *data; u32 size; u32 offset; } __aligned(8); The upper 8 bits of *size* is reserved (it contains extra metadata about read-only status and dynptr type). Consequently, a dynptr only supports memory less than 16 MB. There are different types of dynptrs (eg malloc, ringbuf, ...). In this patchset, the most basic one, dynptrs to a bpf program's local memory, is added. For now only local memory that is of reg type PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE is supported. In the verifier, dynptr state information will be tracked in stack slots. When the program passes in an uninitialized dynptr (ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR | MEM_UNINIT), the stack slots corresponding to the frame pointer where the dynptr resides at are marked STACK_DYNPTR. For helper functions that take in initialized dynptrs (eg bpf_dynptr_read + bpf_dynptr_write which are added later in this patchset), the verifier enforces that the dynptr has been initialized properly by checking that their corresponding stack slots have been marked as STACK_DYNPTR. The 6th patch in this patchset adds test cases that the verifier should successfully reject, such as for example attempting to use a dynptr after doing a direct write into it inside the bpf program.
