Currently, verifier will reject a program if it contains an narrower load from the bpf context structure. For example, __u8 h = __sk_buff->hash, or __u16 p = __sk_buff->protocol __u32 sample_period = bpf_perf_event_data->sample_period which are narrower loads of 4-byte or 8-byte field. This patch solves the issue by: . Introduce a new parameter ctx_field_size to carry the field size of narrower load from prog type specific *__is_valid_access validator back to verifier. . The non-zero ctx_field_size for a memory access indicates (1). underlying prog type specific convert_ctx_accesses supporting non-whole-field access (2). the current insn is a narrower or whole field access. . In verifier, for such loads where load memory size is less than ctx_field_size, verifier transforms it to a full field load followed by proper masking. . Currently, __sk_buff and bpf_perf_event_data->sample_period are supporting narrowing loads. . Narrower stores are still not allowed as typical ctx stores are just normal stores. Because of this change, some tests in verifier will fail and these tests are removed. As a bonus, rename some out of bound __sk_buff->cb access to proper field name and remove two redundant "skb cb oob" tests.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
