CVE-2024-49888

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

bpf: Fix a sdiv overflow issue

Zac Ecob reported a problem where a bpf program may cause kernel crash due
to the following error:
  Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI

The failure is due to the below signed divide:
  LLONG_MIN/-1 where LLONG_MIN equals to -9,223,372,036,854,775,808.
LLONG_MIN/-1 is supposed to give a positive number 9,223,372,036,854,775,808,
but it is impossible since for 64-bit system, the maximum positive
number is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. On x86_64, LLONG_MIN/-1 will
cause a kernel exception. On arm64, the result for LLONG_MIN/-1 is
LLONG_MIN.

Further investigation found all the following sdiv/smod cases may trigger
an exception when bpf program is running on x86_64 platform:
  - LLONG_MIN/-1 for 64bit operation
  - INT_MIN/-1 for 32bit operation
  - LLONG_MIN%-1 for 64bit operation
  - INT_MIN%-1 for 32bit operation
where -1 can be an immediate or in a register.

On arm64, there are no exceptions:
  - LLONG_MIN/-1 = LLONG_MIN
  - INT_MIN/-1 = INT_MIN
  - LLONG_MIN%-1 = 0
  - INT_MIN%-1 = 0
where -1 can be an immediate or in a register.

Insn patching is needed to handle the above cases and the patched codes
produced results aligned with above arm64 result. The below are pseudo
codes to handle sdiv/smod exceptions including both divisor -1 and divisor 0
and the divisor is stored in a register.

sdiv:
      tmp = rX
      tmp += 1 /* [-1, 0] -> [0, 1]
      if tmp >(unsigned) 1 goto L2
      if tmp == 0 goto L1
      rY = 0
  L1:
      rY = -rY;
      goto L3
  L2:
      rY /= rX
  L3:

smod:
      tmp = rX
      tmp += 1 /* [-1, 0] -> [0, 1]
      if tmp >(unsigned) 1 goto L1
      if tmp == 1 (is64 ? goto L2 : goto L3)
      rY = 0;
      goto L2
  L1:
      rY %= rX
  L2:
      goto L4  // only when !is64
  L3:
      wY = wY  // only when !is64
  L4:
