bpf: Emit better log message if bpf_iter ctx arg btf_id == 0
To avoid kernel build failure due to some missing .BTF-ids referenced functions/types, the patch ([1]) tries to fill btf_id 0 for these types. In bpf verifier, for percpu variable and helper returning btf_id cases, verifier already emitted proper warning with something like verbose(env, "Helper has invalid btf_id in R%d\n", regno); verbose(env, "invalid return type %d of func %s#%d\n", fn->ret_type, func_id_name(func_id), func_id); But this is not the case for bpf_iter context arguments. I hacked resolve_btfids to encode btf_id 0 for struct task_struct. With `./test_progs -n 7/5`, I got, 0: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 +0) func 'bpf_iter_task' arg0 has btf_id 29739 type STRUCT 'bpf_iter_meta' ; struct seq_file *seq = ctx->meta->seq; 1: (79) r6 = *(u64 *)(r2 +0) ; struct task_struct *task = ctx->task; 2: (79) r7 = *(u64 *)(r1 +8) ; if (task == (void *)0) { 3: (55) if r7 != 0x0 goto pc+11 ... ; BPF_SEQ_PRINTF(seq, "%8d %8d\n", task->tgid, task->pid); 26: (61) r1 = *(u32 *)(r7 +1372) Type '(anon)' is not a struct Basically, verifier will return btf_id 0 for task_struct. Later on, when the code tries to access task->tgid, the verifier correctly complains the type is '(anon)' and it is not a struct. Users still need to backtrace to find out what is going on. Let us catch the invalid btf_id 0 earlier and provide better message indicating btf_id is wrong. The new error message looks like below: R1 type=ctx expected=fp ; struct seq_file *seq = ctx->meta->seq; 0: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 +0) func 'bpf_iter_task' arg0 has btf_id 29739 type STRUCT 'bpf_iter_meta' ; struct seq_file *seq = ctx->meta->seq; 1: (79) r6 = *(u64 *)(r2 +0) ; struct task_struct *task = ctx->task; 2: (79) r7 = *(u64 *)(r1 +8) invalid btf_id for context argument offset 8 invalid bpf_context access off=8 size=8 [1] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20210727132532.2473636-1-hengqi.chen@gmail.com/Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20210728183025.1461750-1-yhs@fb.com
