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

net: Add rx_skb of kfree_skb to raw_tp_null_args[].

Yan Zhai reported a BPF prog could trigger a null-ptr-deref [0]
in trace_kfree_skb if the prog does not check if rx_sk is NULL.

Commit c53795d48ee8 ("net: add rx_sk to trace_kfree_skb") added
rx_sk to trace_kfree_skb, but rx_sk is optional and could be NULL.

Let's add kfree_skb to raw_tp_null_args[] to let the BPF verifier
validate such a prog and prevent the issue.

Now we fail to load such a prog:

  libbpf: prog 'drop': -- BEGIN PROG LOAD LOG --
  0: R1=ctx() R10=fp0
  ; int BPF_PROG(drop, struct sk_buff *skb, void *location, @ kfree_skb_sk_null.bpf.c:21
  0: (79) r3 = *(u64 *)(r1 +24)
  func 'kfree_skb' arg3 has btf_id 5253 type STRUCT 'sock'
  1: R1=ctx() R3_w=trusted_ptr_or_null_sock(id=1)
  ; bpf_printk("sk: %d, %d\n", sk, sk->__sk_common.skc_family); @ kfree_skb_sk_null.bpf.c:24
  1: (69) r4 = *(u16 *)(r3 +16)
  R3 invalid mem access 'trusted_ptr_or_null_'
  processed 2 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 0 total_states 0 peak_states 0 mark_read 0
  -- END PROG LOAD LOG --

Note this fix requires commit 838a10bd2ebf ("bpf: Augment raw_tp
arguments with PTR_MAYBE_NULL").
