The verifier allows programs to call global functions as long as their
argument types match, using BTF to check the function arguments. One of the
allowed argument types to such global functions is PTR_TO_CTX; however the
check for this fails on BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT functions because the verifier
uses the wrong type to fetch the vmlinux BTF ID for the program context
type. This failure is seen when an XDP program is loaded using
libxdp (which loads it as BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT and attaches it to a global XDP
type program).
Fix the issue by passing in the target program type instead of the
BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT type to bpf_prog_get_ctx() when checking function
argument compatibility.
The first Fixes tag refers to the latest commit that touched the code in
question, while the second one points to the code that first introduced
the global function call verification.
v2:
- Use resolve_prog_type()
