Wenbo reported an issue in [1] where a checking of null pointer is evaluated as always false. In this particular case, the program type is tp_btf and the pointer to compare is a PTR_TO_BTF_ID. The current verifier considers PTR_TO_BTF_ID always reprents a non-null pointer, hence all PTR_TO_BTF_ID compares to 0 will be evaluated as always not-equal, which resulted in the branch elimination. For example, struct bpf_fentry_test_t { struct bpf_fentry_test_t *a; }; int BPF_PROG(test7, struct bpf_fentry_test_t *arg) { if (arg == 0) test7_result = 1; return 0; } int BPF_PROG(test8, struct bpf_fentry_test_t *arg) { if (arg->a == 0) test8_result = 1; return 0; } In above bpf programs, both branch arg == 0 and arg->a == 0 are removed. This may not be what developer expected. The bug is introduced by Commit |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
