[PATCH] bpf: skip invalid kfunc call in backtrack_insn

From: Hao Sun
Date: Tue Jan 03 2023 - 20:47:36 EST


The verifier skips invalid kfunc call in check_kfunc_call(), which
would be captured in fixup_kfunc_call() if such insn is not
eliminated by dead code elimination. However, this can lead to the
following warning in backtrack_insn(), alse see [1]:

------------[ cut here ]------------
verifier backtracking bug
WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 8646 at kernel/bpf/verifier.c:2756 backtrack_insn
kernel/bpf/verifier.c:2756
__mark_chain_precision kernel/bpf/verifier.c:3065
mark_chain_precision kernel/bpf/verifier.c:3165
adjust_reg_min_max_vals kernel/bpf/verifier.c:10715
check_alu_op kernel/bpf/verifier.c:10928
do_check kernel/bpf/verifier.c:13821 [inline]
do_check_common kernel/bpf/verifier.c:16289
...

So make backtracking conservative with this by returning ENOTSUPP.
