Description

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

bpf: Fix constant blinding for PROBE_MEM32 stores

BPF_ST | BPF_PROBE_MEM32 immediate stores are not handled by
bpf_jit_blind_insn(), allowing user-controlled 32-bit immediates to
survive unblinded into JIT-compiled native code when bpf_jit_harden >= 1.

The root cause is that convert_ctx_accesses() rewrites BPF_ST|BPF_MEM
to BPF_ST|BPF_PROBE_MEM32 for arena pointer stores during verification,
before bpf_jit_blind_constants() runs during JIT compilation. The
blinding switch only matches BPF_ST|BPF_MEM (mode 0x60), not
BPF_ST|BPF_PROBE_MEM32 (mode 0xa0). The instruction falls through
unblinded.

Add BPF_ST|BPF_PROBE_MEM32 cases to bpf_jit_blind_insn() alongside the
existing BPF_ST|BPF_MEM cases. The blinding transformation is identical:
load the blinded immediate into BPF_REG_AX via mov+xor, then convert
the immediate store to a register store (BPF_STX).

The rewritten STX instruction must preserve the BPF_PROBE_MEM32 mode so
the architecture JIT emits the correct arena addressing (R12-based on
x86-64). Cannot use the BPF_STX_MEM() macro here because it hardcodes
BPF_MEM mode; construct the instruction directly instead.
