Global subprogram argument checking derives generic pointer sizes from BTF
and passes the resolved size to check_mem_reg() as a u32. The access-size
validation path then uses a signed int, and stack pointers negate the value
before calling check_helper_mem_access().
This creates a wrap when BTF describes a pointee size larger than S32_MAX.
For example, a global subprogram argument of type:
int (*p)[0x3fffffff]
has a BTF-resolved pointee size of 0xfffffffc bytes. At a call site the
caller can pass a pointer to a 4-byte stack slot at fp-4. The current
PTR_TO_STACK path computes:
size = -(int)mem_size
so 0xfffffffc becomes -4 as a signed int and the negation validates only
a 4-byte stack range. That range is covered by the caller's stack slot,
so the call is accepted.
The callee is then verified independently with R1 as PTR_TO_MEM and
mem_size 0xfffffffc. A small instruction such as:
r0 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 4)
is accepted as being inside that BTF-described memory region. At run time,
however, the actual argument value is still fp-4, so r1 + 4 addresses fp+0,
outside the 4-byte object that the caller provided.
Reject sizes that cannot be represented by the verifier's signed
access-size API before the stack-specific negation. Add a verifier
regression test for the oversized BTF argument.
