    bpf: allow xadd only on aligned memory · ca369602
    Daniel Borkmann authored
    The requirements around atomic_add() / atomic64_add() resp. their
    JIT implementations differ across architectures. E.g. while x86_64
    seems just fine with BPF's xadd on unaligned memory, on arm64 it
    triggers via interpreter but also JIT the following crash:

    Reason for this is because memory is required to be aligned. In
    case of BPF, we always enforce alignment in terms of stack access,
    but not when accessing map values or packet data when the underlying
    arch (e.g. arm64) has CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS set.
    
    xadd on packet data that is local to us anyway is just wrong, so
    forbid this case entirely. The only place where xadd makes sense in
    fact are map values; xadd on stack is wrong as well, but it's been
    around for much longer. Specifically enforce strict alignment in case
    of xadd, so that we handle this case generically and avoid such crashes
    in the first place.
