Vulnerability Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Wait for an RCU tasks grace period before freeing trampoline progs

When a prog is detached from a trampoline, it is freed after an RCU
grace period, or an RCU tasks trace one if it is sleepable. This covers
the tasks that are running the prog, since the prog's enter helper takes
the matching read lock before the prog is called. On a preemptible
kernel, it doesn't cover a task that was preempted in the trampoline
just before the enter helper. That task holds no lock yet, and it calls
the prog after it was freed:

BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0x3a5/0x3f0
Read of size 8 at addr ffffc90000055040 by task candidate/110
CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 110 Comm: candidate Not tainted 7.3.0-rc2-00014-g15071f2a1263-dirty #2 PREEMPT(full)
Call Trace:
<TASK>

do_syscall_64+0xb0/0x530
...

Wait for an RCU tasks grace period before the existing one when freeing
a prog that was linked to a trampoline. An RCU tasks grace period only
ends once the tasks that were preempted have run again, and
bpf_tramp_image_put() already relies on it to free the image. It doesn't
wait for tasks that sleep in the trampoline, the next commit takes care
of those.

Only progs that were linked to a trampoline can be called this way, so
bpf_trampoline_add_prog() marks them and other progs are still freed as
before.
