Paul Chaignon d7b87adeb0 bpf: Fix bpf_xdp_store_bytes proto for read-only arg 
[ Upstream commit 6557f1565d ]

While making some maps in Cilium read-only from the BPF side, we noticed
that the bpf_xdp_store_bytes proto is incorrect. In particular, the
verifier was throwing the following error:

  ; ret = ctx_store_bytes(ctx, l3_off + offsetof(struct iphdr, saddr),
                          &nat->address, 4, 0);
  635: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r10 -144)     ; R1=ctx() R10=fp0 fp-144=ctx()
  636: (b4) w2 = 26                     ; R2=26
  637: (b4) w4 = 4                      ; R4=4
  638: (b4) w5 = 0                      ; R5=0
  639: (85) call bpf_xdp_store_bytes#190
  write into map forbidden, value_size=6 off=0 size=4

nat comes from a BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG map, so R3 is a PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE.
The verifier checks the helper's memory access to R3 in
check_mem_size_reg, as it reaches ARG_CONST_SIZE argument. The third
argument has expected type ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM, which includes the
MEM_WRITE flag. The verifier thus checks for a BPF_WRITE access on R3.
Given R3 points to a read-only map, the check fails.

Conversely, ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM can also lead to the helper reading
from uninitialized memory.

This patch simply fixes the expected argument type to match that of
bpf_skb_store_bytes.

README 

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 reStructuredText 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.
