Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.6 005/104] libbpf: Fix potential uninitialized tail padding with LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET

From: Yonghong Song <yonghong.song@...ux.dev>

[ Upstream commit 7f7c43693c1b46652cfafb7af67ba31726d6ec4e ]

Martin reported that there is a libbpf complaining of non-zero-value tail
padding with LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET macro if struct bpf_netkit_opts is modified
to have a 4-byte tail padding. This only happens to clang compiler.
The commend line is: ./test_progs -t tc_netkit_multi_links
Martin and I did some investigation and found this indeed the case and
the following are the investigation details.

Clang:
  clang version 18.0.0
  <I tried clang15/16/17 and they all have similar results>

tools/lib/bpf/libbpf_common.h:
  #define LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET(NAME, ...)                                      \
        do {                                                                \
                memset(&NAME, 0, sizeof(NAME));                             \
                NAME = (typeof(NAME)) {                                     \
                        .sz = sizeof(NAME),                                 \
                        __VA_ARGS__                                         \
                };                                                          \
        } while (0)

  #endif

tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h:
  struct bpf_netkit_opts {
        /* size of this struct, for forward/backward compatibility */
        size_t sz;
        __u32 flags;
        __u32 relative_fd;
        __u32 relative_id;
        __u64 expected_revision;
        size_t :0;
  };
  #define bpf_netkit_opts__last_field expected_revision
In the above struct bpf_netkit_opts, there is no tail padding.

prog_tests/tc_netkit.c:
  static void serial_test_tc_netkit_multi_links_target(int mode, int target)
  {
        ...
        LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_netkit_opts, optl);
        ...
        LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET(optl,
                .flags = BPF_F_BEFORE,
                .relative_fd = bpf_program__fd(skel->progs.tc1),
        );
        ...
  }

Let us make the following source change, note that we have a 4-byte
tailing padding now.

    ;       link = bpf_program__attach_netkit(skel->progs.tc2, ifindex, &optl);

At -O0 level, the clang compiler creates an intermediate copy.
We have below to store 'flags' with 4-byte store and leave another 4 byte
in the same 8-byte-aligned storage undefined,
    5629: c7 85 28 fd ff ff 08 00 00 00 movl    $0x8, -0x2d8(%rbp)
and later we store 8-byte to the original zero'ed buffer
    5654: 48 8b 85 28 fd ff ff          movq    -0x2d8(%rbp), %rax
    565b: 48 89 45 b0                   movq    %rax, -0x50(%rbp)

This caused a problem as the 4-byte value at [%rbp-0x2dc, %rbp-0x2e0)
may be garbage.

gcc (gcc 11.4) does not have this issue as it does zeroing struct first before
doing assignments:

    50fd: 48 8d 85 40 fc ff ff          leaq    -0x3c0(%rbp), %rax

    5163: c7 85 58 fc ff ff 08 00 00 00 movl    $0x8, -0x3a8(%rbp)
  ;       link = bpf_program__attach_netkit(skel->progs.tc2, ifindex, &optl);

It is not clear how to resolve the compiler code generation as the compiler
generates correct code w.r.t. how to handle unnamed padding in C standard.
So this patch changed LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET macro to avoid uninitialized tail
padding. We already knows LIBBPF_OPTS macro works on both gcc and clang,
even with tail padding. So LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET is changed to be a
LIBBPF_OPTS followed by a memcpy(), thus avoiding uninitialized tail padding.

The below is asm code generated with this patch and with clang compiler:
    ;       LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET(optl,
    55e3: 48 8d bd 10 fd ff ff          leaq    -0x2f0(%rbp), %rdi

    5611: 89 85 18 fd ff ff             movl    %eax, -0x2e8(%rbp)
    5617: c7 85 1c fd ff ff 00 00 00 00 movl    $0x0, -0x2e4(%rbp)

    563d: 48 89 45 98                   movq    %rax, -0x68(%rbp)
    5641: 48 8b 85 18 fd ff ff          movq    -0x2e8(%rbp), %rax
    5648: 48 89 45 a0                   movq    %rax, -0x60(%rbp)
    564c: 48 8b 85 20 fd ff ff          movq    -0x2e0(%rbp), %rax
    5653: 48 89 45 a8                   movq    %rax, -0x58(%rbp)
    5657: 48 8b 85 28 fd ff ff          movq    -0x2d8(%rbp), %rax
    565e: 48 89 45 b0                   movq    %rax, -0x50(%rbp)
    ;       link = bpf_program__attach_netkit(skel->progs.tc2, ifindex, &optl);

In the above code, a temporary buffer is zeroed and then has proper value assigned.
Finally, values in temporary buffer are copied to the original variable buffer,
hence tail padding is guaranteed to be 0.
