The verifier checks that PTR_TO_BTF_ID pointer is either valid or NULL,
but it cannot distinguish IS_ERR pointer from valid one.
When offset is added to IS_ERR pointer it may become small positive
value which is a user address that is not handled by extable logic
and has to be checked for at the runtime.
Tighten BPF_PROBE_MEM pointer check code to prevent this case.
Fixes: 4c5de12759 ("bpf: Emit explicit NULL pointer checks for PROBE_LDX instructions.")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
