bpf: change bpf_probe_read_str arg2 type to ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO
Commit 9fd29c08e520 ("bpf: improve verifier ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO
semantics") relaxed the treatment of ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO due to the way
the compiler generates optimized BPF code when checking boundaries of an
argument from C code. A typical example of this optimized code can be
generated using the bpf_probe_read_str helper when operating on variable
memory:
/* len is a generic scalar */
if (len > 0 && len <= 0x7fff)
bpf_probe_read_str(p, len, s);
251: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r10 -88)
252: (07) r1 += -1
253: (25) if r1 > 0x7ffe goto pc-42
254: (bf) r1 = r7
255: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r10 -88)
256: (bf) r8 = r4
257: (85) call bpf_probe_read_str#45
R2 min value is negative, either use unsigned or 'var &= const'
With this code, the verifier loses track of the variable.
Replacing arg2 with ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO is thus desirable since it
avoids this quite common case which leads to usability issues, and the
compiler generates code that the verifier can more easily test:
if (len <= 0x7fff)
bpf_probe_read_str(p, len, s);
or
bpf_probe_read_str(p, len & 0x7fff, s);
No changes to the bpf_probe_read_str helper are necessary since
strncpy_from_unsafe itself immediately returns if the size passed is 0.
