bpf: fix nullness propagation for reg to reg comparisons
After befae75856ab, the verifier would propagate null information after JEQ/JNE, e.g., if two pointers, one is maybe_null and the other is not, the former would be marked as non-null in eq path. However, as comment "PTR_TO_BTF_ID points to a kernel struct that does not need to be null checked by the BPF program ... The verifier must keep this in mind and can make no assumptions about null or non-null when doing branch ...". If one pointer is maybe_null and the other is PTR_TO_BTF, the former is incorrectly marked non-null. The following BPF prog can trigger a null-ptr-deref, also see this report for more details[1]: 0: (18) r1 = map_fd ; R1_w=map_ptr(ks=4, vs=4) 2: (79) r6 = *(u64 *)(r1 +8) ; R6_w=bpf_map->inner_map_data ; R6 is PTR_TO_BTF_ID ; equals to null at runtime 3: (bf) r2 = r10 4: (07) r2 += -4 5: (62) *(u32 *)(r2 +0) = 0 6: (85) call bpf_map_lookup_elem#1 ; R0_w=map_value_or_null 7: (1d) if r6 == r0 goto pc+1 8: (95) exit ; from 7 to 9: R0=map_value R6=ptr_bpf_map 9: (61) r0 = *(u32 *)(r0 +0) ; null-ptr-deref 10: (95) exit So, make the verifier propagate nullness information for reg to reg comparisons only if neither reg is PTR_TO_BTF_ID.
