From a7036191277f9fa68d92f2071ddc38c09b1e5ee5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Tue, 4 May 2021 08:58:25 +0000 Subject: bpf: No need to simulate speculative domain for immediates In 801c6058d14a ("bpf: Fix leakage of uninitialized bpf stack under speculation") we replaced masking logic with direct loads of immediates if the register is a known constant. Given in this case we do not apply any masking, there is also no reason for the operation to be truncated under the speculative domain. Therefore, there is also zero reason for the verifier to branch-off and simulate this case, it only needs to do it for unknown but bounded scalars. As a side-effect, this also enables few test cases that were previously rejected due to simulation under zero truncation.
