Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 10/11] bpf: Fall back to nospec for sanitization-failures
ALU sanitization was introduced to ensure that a subsequent ptr access
can never go OOBs, even under speculation. This is required because we
currently allow speculative scalar confusion. This is the case because
Spectre v4 sanitization only adds a nospec after critical stores (e.g.,
scalar overwritten with a pointer).
If we add a nospec before the ALU op, none of the operands can be
subject to scalar confusion. As an ADD/SUB can not introduce scalar
confusion itself, the result will also not be subject to scalar
confusion. Therefore, the subsequent ptr access is always safe.
For REASON_STACK, we raise the error from push_stack() directly now.
This effectively only changes the error code from EACCES to
ENOMEM (which arguably also fits). Raising the push_stack() error allows
a future commit to fall back to nospec for certain errors from
push_stack() if on a speculative path.
Fall back to nospec directly for the remaining sanitization errs even if
we are not on a speculative path.
