The purpose of this patch is to streamline error propagation and in particular to propagate retrieve_ptr_limit() errors for pointer types that are not defining a ptr_limit such that register-based alu ops against these types can be rejected. The main rationale is that a gap has been identified by Piotr in the existing protection against speculatively out-of-bounds loads, for example, in case of ctx pointers, unprivileged programs can still perform pointer arithmetic. This can be abused to execute speculatively out-of-bounds loads without restrictions and thus extract contents of kernel memory. Fix this by rejecting unprivileged programs that attempt any pointer arithmetic on unprotected pointer types. The two affected ones are pointer to ctx as well as pointer to map. Field access to a modified ctx' pointer is rejected at a later point in time in the verifier, and 7c696732 ("bpf: Permit map_ptr arithmetic with opcode add and offset 0") only relevant for root-only use cases. Risk of unprivileged program breakage is considered very low.
