These two programs are not equivalent.
Not clear how apples to oranges comparison explains anything.


Yes, they are not equivalent. I assumed the 32-bit prog being accepted
implies it is unreasonable for the 64-bit prog to be rejected. Regardless
of this assumption and the 32-bit prog, the above 64-bit prog is expected
to be accepted, right?

The verifier log says:

[...]

from 12 to 11: R0_w=-9223372036854775794 R1=scalar(umin=9223372036854775823,umax=9223372036854775823,var_off=(0x8000000000000000; 0xffffffff))

First thing to debug is why umin is higher than umax.


Well, it's because the loop does not stop, when r0 increases to -9223372036854775793,
the following code in reg_set_min_max() sets umin_value to 9223372036854775824:

case BPF_JGT:
{
if (is_jmp32) {
[...]
} else {
u64 false_umax = opcode == BPF_JGT ? val : val - 1;
u64 true_umin = opcode == BPF_JGT ? val + 1 : val;

false_reg->umax_value = min(false_reg->umax_value, false_umax);
true_reg->umin_value = max(true_reg->umin_value, true_umin);
}
break;
}

To avoid umin > umax, it could be changed it to:

case BPF_JGT:
{
if (is_jmp32) {
[...]
} else {
u64 false_umax = opcode == BPF_JGT ? val : val - 1;
u64 true_umin = opcode == BPF_JGT ? val + 1 : val;

false_reg->umax_value = min(false_reg->umax_value, false_umax);
false_reg->umax_value = max(false_reg->umax_value, false_reg->umin_value);

true_reg->umin_value = max(true_reg->umin_value, true_umin);
true_reg->umin_value = min(true_reg->umax_value, true_reg->umin_value);
}
break;
}

The problem is that the loop still does not stop because tnum_is_const(src_reg->var_off)
always returns false and is_branch_taken() is skipped:

if (BPF_SRC(insn->code) == BPF_K) {
[...]
} else if (src_reg->type == SCALAR_VALUE &&
is_jmp32 && tnum_is_const(tnum_subreg(src_reg->var_off))) {
[...]
} else if (src_reg->type == SCALAR_VALUE &&
!is_jmp32 && tnum_is_const(src_reg->var_off)) {
pred = is_branch_taken(dst_reg, // could not reach here
src_reg->var_off.value,
opcode,
is_jmp32);
} else if (reg_is_pkt_pointer_any(dst_reg) &&
reg_is_pkt_pointer_any(src_reg) &&
!is_jmp32) {
[...]
}

Why tnum_is_const(src_reg->var_off) returns false is because the lower 32-bit
is not constant since the lower 32-bit range is [U32_MIN, U32_MAX].

11: (07) r0 += 1 ; R0_w=-9223372036854775792
12: (ad) if r0 < r1 goto pc-2 ; R0_w=-9223372036854775792 R1=scalar(umin=9223372036854775824,umax=9223372036854775823,var_off=(0x8000000000000000; 0xffffffff))
13: safe

[...]

The loop crosses termination condition r0 == r1.umax, and does not stop.

The reason is that when the verifier enumerates to r1.umin == r1.umax, the value
0x800000000000000f of r1.umin is greater than U32_MAX, so __reg_combine_64_into_32
sets the u32 range of r1 to [0, U32_MAX] instead of marking r1 as a constant,
making is_branch_taken() in check_cond_jmp_op() be skipped.

And it's fine. The verifier is conservative.


To fix it, update 32-bit bounds when the lower 32-bit value is not wrapping,
even if the 64-bit value is beyond the range of [0, U32_MAX] or [S32_MIN, S32_MAX].

That's not safe in general.

This looks like a workaround for umin > umax issue.
Please debug that instead.


"__reg64_bound_u32(umin) && __reg64_bound_u32(max)" is a special case of
"umax - umin <= U32_MAX && (u32)umin <= (u32)umax " when umax <= U32_MAX.

If it's only safe to set lower 32-bit range to [U32_MIN, U32_MAX] when
umax > U32_MAX, could we infer the 64-bit value is a constant from umin == umax?
