El mem_size resultante para el R0 se deriva del valor constante, y si el verificador poda incorrectamente los estados considerándolos equivalentes donde existen dichos argumentos (al ver que ambos registros tienen reg-&gt;precise como falso en regsafe), podemos terminar con programas no válidos que pasan el verificador que pueden hacer acceso más allá de lo que debería haber sido el mem_size correcto en ese estado explorado. Para mostrar un ejemplo concreto del problema: 0000000000000000 : 0: r2 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 80) 1: r1 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 76) 2: r3 = r1 3: r3 += 4 4: si r3 &gt; r2 goto +18  5: w2 = 0 6: *(u32 *)(r1 + 0) = r2 7: r1 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 0) 8: r2 = 1 9: si w1 == 0 goto +1  10: r2 = -1 0000000000000058 : 11: r1 = 0 ll 13: r3 = 0 14: llamar a bpf_ringbuf_reserve 15: si r0 == 0 goto +7  16: r1 = r0 17: r1 += 16777215 18: w2 = 0 19: *(u8 *)(r1 + 0) = r2 20: r1 = r0 21: r2 = 0 22: llamar a bpf_ringbuf_submit 00000000000000b8 : 23: w0 = 0 24: salir Para el primer caso, la exploración de la ejecución de una sola línea podará la búsqueda en insn 14 para la segunda rama de la rama insn 9, ya que se verificará primero utilizando r2 = -1 (UINT_MAX), mientras que como w1 en insn 9 siempre será 0, por lo que en tiempo de ejecución no obtenemos un error por ser mayor que UINT_MAX/4 de bpf_ringbuf_reserve. El verificador durante regsafe solo ve reg-&gt;precise como falso para ambos registros r2 en ambos estados, por lo tanto, los considera iguales para fines de states_equal. Si propagáramos marcadores precisos utilizando el soporte de retroceso, usaríamos el marcado preciso para asegurarnos de que el antiguo r2 (UINT_MAX) estuviera dentro del nuevo r2 (1) y esto nunca sería verdadero, por lo que la verificación fallaría legítimamente. El resultado final es que el acceso fuera de los límites en la instrucción 19 se permitiría sin esta corrección. Tenga en cuenta que reg-&gt;precise siempre se establece en verdadero cuando el usuario no tiene CAP_BPF (o cuando el recuento de subprocesos es mayor que 1 (es decir, uso de cualquier función estática o global)), por lo tanto, esto solo es un problema cuando las marcas de precisión deben propagarse explícitamente (es decir, usuarios privilegiados con CAP_BPF).
