bpf: Fix off-by-one for area size in creating mask to left
stable inclusion from linux-4.19.182 commit ec5307f2ed2377fc55f0a8c990c6004c63014a54 CVE: CVE-2020-27171 -------------------------------- commit 10d2bb2e6b1d8c4576c56a748f697dbeb8388899 upstream. retrieve_ptr_limit() computes the ptr_limit for registers with stack and map_value type. ptr_limit is the size of the memory area that is still valid / in-bounds from the point of the current position and direction of the operation (add / sub). This size will later be used for masking the operation such that attempting out-of-bounds access in the speculative domain is redirected to remain within the bounds of the current map value. When masking to the right the size is correct, however, when masking to the left, the size is off-by-one which would lead to an incorrect mask and thus incorrect arithmetic operation in the non-speculative domain. Piotr found that if the resulting alu_limit value is zero, then the BPF_MOV32_IMM() from the fixup_bpf_calls() ...
