From 59089a189e3adde4cf85f2ce479738d1ae4c514d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2021 09:39:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Remove superfluous aux sanitation on subprog rejection Follow-up to fe9a5ca7e370 ("bpf: Do not mark insn as seen under speculative path verification"). The sanitize_insn_aux_data() helper does not serve a particular purpose in today's code. The original intention for the helper was that if function-by-function verification fails, a given program would be cleared from temporary insn_aux_data[], and then its verification would be re-attempted in the context of the main program a second time. However, a failure in do_check_subprogs() will skip do_check_main() and propagate the error to the user instead, thus such situation can never occur. Given its interaction is not compatible to the Spectre v1 mitigation (due to comparing aux->seen with env->pass_cnt), just remove sanitize_insn_aux_data() to avoid future bugs in this area.
