Subject: [PATCH 4.18 54/88] bpf/verifier: disallow pointer subtraction

4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@...nel.org>

commit dd066823db2ac4e22f721ec85190817b58059a54 upstream.

Subtraction of pointers was accidentally allowed for unpriv programs
by commit 82abbf8d2fc4. Revert that part of commit.

Fixes: 82abbf8d2fc4 ("bpf: do not allow root to mangle valid pointers")
