When CAP_PERFMON and CAP_SYS_ADMIN (allow_ptr_leaks) are disabled, the
verifier aims to reject partial overwrite on an 8-byte stack slot that
contains a spilled pointer.
However, in such a scenario, it rejects all partial stack overwrites as
long as the targeted stack slot is a spilled register, because it does
not check if the stack slot is a spilled pointer.
Incomplete checks will result in the rejection of valid programs, which
spill narrower scalar values onto scalar slots, as shown below.
0: R1=ctx() R10=fp0
; asm volatile ( @ repro.bpf.c:679
0: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -8) = 1 ; R10=fp0 fp-8_w=1
1: (62) *(u32 *)(r10 -8) = 1
attempt to corrupt spilled pointer on stack
processed 2 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 0 total_states 0 peak_states 0 mark_read 0.
Fix this by expanding the check to not consider spilled scalar registers
when rejecting the write into the stack.

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 reStructuredText 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.
