What it is

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

LoongArch: BPF: Don't override subprog's return value

The verifier test `calls: div by 0 in subprog` triggers a panic at the

ld.bu instruction. The ld.bu insn is trying to load byte from memory

address returned by the subprog. The subprog actually set the correct

address at the a5 register (dedicated register for BPF return values).

But at commit 73c359d1d356 ("LoongArch: BPF: Sign-extend return values")

we also sign extended a5 to the a0 register (return value in LoongArch).

For function call insn, we later propagate the a0 register back to a5

register. This is right for native calls but wrong for bpf2bpf calls

which expect zero-extended return value in a5 register. So only move a0

to a5 for native calls (i.e. non-BPF_PSEUDO_CALL).
