Ok, went back to trying to enforce the return value on the verifier
side, assuming that for now we consider hooks that return zero or a
negative value.

I wanted to see if at least we are able to enforce that.

The biggest problem is which value of the register I should use, the 64
bit one or the 32 bit one?

We can have a look at test_libbpf_get_fd_by_id_opts. The default flavor
gives:

0000000000000000 <check_access>:
       0:	b4 00 00 00 00 00 00 00	w0 = 0
       1:	79 12 00 00 00 00 00 00	r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 0)
       2:	18 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00	r3 = 0 ll
       4:	5d 32 05 00 00 00 00 00	if r2 != r3 goto +5 <LBB0_3>
       5:	79 11 08 00 00 00 00 00	r1 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 8)
       6:	57 01 00 00 02 00 00 00	r1 &= 2
       7:	b4 00 00 00 00 00 00 00	w0 = 0
       8:	15 01 01 00 00 00 00 00	if r1 == 0 goto +1 <LBB0_3>
       9:	b4 00 00 00 f3 ff ff ff	w0 = -13

smin_value = 0xfffffff3, smax_value = 0xfffffff3,
s32_min_value = 0xfffffff3, s32_max_value = 0xfffffff3,

I think it is because of this, in check_alu_op():

if (BPF_CLASS(insn->code) == BPF_ALU64) {
	__mark_reg_known(regs + insn->dst_reg,
			 insn->imm);
} else {
	__mark_reg_known(regs + insn->dst_reg,
			 (u32)insn->imm);
	}
}

So, here you have to use the 32 bit values. But, if you use the
no_alu32 flavor:

0000000000000000 <check_access>:
       0:	b7 00 00 00 00 00 00 00	r0 = 0
       1:	79 12 00 00 00 00 00 00	r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 0)
       2:	18 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00	r3 = 0 ll
       4:	5d 32 04 00 00 00 00 00	if r2 != r3 goto +4 <LBB0_2>
       5:	79 10 08 00 00 00 00 00	r0 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 8)
       6:	67 00 00 00 3e 00 00 00	r0 <<= 62
       7:	c7 00 00 00 3f 00 00 00	r0 s>>= 63

smin_value = 0xffffffffffffffff, smax_value = 0x0,
s32_min_value = 0x80000000, s32_max_value = 0x7fffffff,

       8:	57 00 00 00 f3 ff ff ff	r0 &= -13

smin_value = 0xfffffffffffffff3, smax_value = 0x7fffffffffffffff,
s32_min_value = 0x80000000, s32_max_value = 0x7ffffff3,

I would have hoped to see:

smin_value = 0xfffffffffffffff3, smax_value = 0x0,

but it doesn't because of this, in scalar_min_max_and():

if (dst_reg->smin_value < 0 || smin_val < 0) {
	/* Lose signed bounds when ANDing negative numbers,
	 * ain't nobody got time for that.
	 */
	dst_reg->smin_value = S64_MIN;
	dst_reg->smax_value = S64_MAX;

Could we do an AND, if src_reg is known?

And what would be the right register value to use?

Thanks

Roberto
