Since BPF constant blinding is performed after the verifier pass, there
are certain ALU32 instructions inserted which don't have a corresponding
zext instruction inserted after. This is causing a kernel oops on
powerpc and can be reproduced by running 'test_cgroup_storage' with
bpf_jit_harden=2.

Fix this by emitting BPF_ZEXT during constant blinding if
prog->aux->verifier_zext is set.

This approach (the location where zext is being introduced below, in particular) works for powerpc, but I am not entirely sure if this is sufficient for other architectures as well. This is broken on v5.3-rc4.

Any comment on this?

Have commented on https://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=156637836024743&w=2

The fix looks correct to me on "BPF_LD | BPF_IMM | BPF_DW", but looks
unnecessary on two other places. It would be great if you or Naveen could
confirm it.

Jiong,
Thanks for the review. I can now see why the other two changes are not necessary. I will post a follow-on patch.

Thanks!
