Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] bpf: fix stackmap overflow check in
 __bpf_get_stackid()

Hi,
I gave it several tries and I can't find a nice to do see properly.
The main challenge is to find a way to detect memory corruption. I 
wanted to place a canary value
  by tweaking the map size but we don't have a way from a BPF program 
perspective to access to the size
of a stack_map_bucket. If we decide to do this computation manually, we 
would end-up with maintainability
  issues:
#include "vmlinux.h"
#include "bpf/bpf_helpers.h"

#define MAX_STACK_DEPTH 32
#define CANARY_VALUE 0xBADCAFE

/* Calculate size based on known layout:
  * - fnode: sizeof(void*)
  * - hash: 4 bytes
  * - nr: 4 bytes
  * - data: MAX_STACK_DEPTH * 8 bytes
  * - canary: 8 bytes
  */
#define VALUE_SIZE (sizeof(void*) + 4 + 4 + (MAX_STACK_DEPTH * 8) + 8)

struct {
     __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE);
     __uint(max_entries, 1);
     __uint(value_size, VALUE_SIZE);
     __uint(key_size, sizeof(u32));
} stackmap SEC(".maps");

static __attribute__((noinline)) void recursive_helper(int depth) {
     if (depth <= 0) return;
     asm volatile("" ::: "memory");
     recursive_helper(depth - 1);
}

SEC("kprobe/do_sys_open")
int test_stack_overflow(void *ctx) {
     u32 key = 0;
     u64 *stack = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&stackmap, &key);
     if (!stack) return 0;

     stack[MAX_STACK_DEPTH] = CANARY_VALUE;

     /* Force minimum stack depth */
     recursive_helper(MAX_STACK_DEPTH + 10);

     (void)bpf_get_stackid(ctx, &stackmap, 0);
     return 0;
}

char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
