commit 26f55a59dc65ff77cd1c4b37991e26497fc68049 upstream. The branch displacement logic in the BPF JIT compilers for x86 assumes that, for any generated branch instruction, the distance cannot increase between optimization passes. But this assumption can be violated due to how the distances are computed. Specifically, whenever a backward branch is processed in do_jit(), the distance is computed by subtracting the positions in the machine code from different optimization passes. This is because part of addrs[] is already updated for the current optimization pass, before the branch instruction is visited. And so the optimizer can expand blocks of machine code in some cases. This can confuse the optimizer logic, where it assumes that a fixed point has been reached for all machine code blocks once the total program size stops changing. And then the JIT compiler can output abnormal machine code containing incorrect branch displacements. To mitigate this issue, we assert that a fixed point is reached while populating the output image. This rejects any problematic programs. The issue affects both x86-32 and x86-64. We mitigate separately to ease backporting.

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 Restructured Text 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.
