bpf: Fix bpf_refcount_acquire's refcount_t address calculation

Browse source

When calculating the address of the refcount_t struct within a local
kptr, bpf_refcount_acquire_impl should add refcount_off bytes to the
address of the local kptr. Due to some missing parens, the function is
incorrectly adding sizeof(refcount_t) * refcount_off bytes. This patch
fixes the calculation.

Due to the incorrect calculation, bpf_refcount_acquire_impl was trying
to refcount_inc some memory well past the end of local kptrs, resulting
in kasan and refcount complaints, as reported in [0]. In that thread,
Florian and Eduard discovered that bpf selftests written in the new
style - with __success and an expected __retval, specifically - were
not actually being run. As a result, selftests added in bpf_refcount
series weren't really exercising this behavior, and thus didn't unearth
the bug.

With this fixed behavior it's safe to revert commit 7c4b96c000
("selftests/bpf: disable program test run for progs/refcounted_kptr.c"),
this patch does so.
