[PATCH v2] bpf: fix a bug in verification logic when SUB operation taken on FRAME_PTR

From: Wang Nan
Date: Thu Jun 18 2015 - 04:34:22 EST


Original code has a problem, cause following code failed to pass verifier:

r1 <- r10
r1 -= 8
r2 = 8
r3 = unsafe pointer
call BPF_FUNC_probe_read <-- R1 type=inv expected=fp

However, by replacing 'r1 -= 8' to 'r1 += -8' the above program can be
loaded successfully.

This is because the verifier allows only BPF_ADD instruction on a
FRAME_PTR reigster to forge PTR_TO_STACK register, but makes BPF_SUB
on FRAME_PTR reigster to get a UNKNOWN_VALUE register.

This patch fix it by adding BPF_SUB in stack_relative checking.

V1 is incorrect. Please ignore it and consider this one.
