libbpf analyzes bpf C program, searches in-kernel BTF for given type name and stores it into expected_attach_type. The kernel verifier expects this btf_id to point to something like: typedef void (*btf_trace_kfree_skb)(void *, struct sk_buff *skb, void *loc); which represents signature of raw_tracepoint "kfree_skb". Then btf_ctx_access() matches ctx+0 access in bpf program with 'skb' and 'ctx+8' access with 'loc' arguments of "kfree_skb" tracepoint. In first case it passes btf_id of 'struct sk_buff *' back to the verifier core and 'void *' in second case. Then the verifier tracks PTR_TO_BTF_ID as any other pointer type. Like PTR_TO_SOCKET points to 'struct bpf_sock', PTR_TO_TCP_SOCK points to 'struct bpf_tcp_sock', and so on. PTR_TO_BTF_ID points to in-kernel structs. If 1234 is btf_id of 'struct sk_buff' in vmlinux's BTF then PTR_TO_BTF_ID#1234 points to one of in kernel skbs. When PTR_TO_BTF_ID#1234 is dereferenced (like r2 = *(u64 *)r1 + 32) the btf_struct_access() checks which field of 'struct sk_buff' is at offset 32. Checks that size of access matches type definition of the field and continues to track the dereferenced type. If that field was a pointer to 'struct net_device' the r2's type will be PTR_TO_BTF_ID#456. Where 456 is btf_id of 'struct net_device' in vmlinux's BTF. Such verifier analysis prevents "cheating" in BPF C program. The program cannot cast arbitrary pointer to 'struct sk_buff *' and access it. C compiler would allow type cast, of course, but the verifier will notice type mismatch based on BPF assembly and in-kernel BTF. Signed-off-by:
