Since there're 4 bytes padding at the end of struct bpf_map_info, they
won't be checked by bpf_check_uarg_tail_zero().
pahole -C bpf_map_info ./vmlinux
struct bpf_map_info {
...
__u64 hash __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /* 88 8 */
__u32 hash_size; /* 96 4 */
/* size: 104, cachelines: 2, members: 18 */
/* padding: 4 */
/* forced alignments: 1 */
/* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));
If a future kernel extension adds a new 4-byte field, older userspace
programs allocating this structure on the stack might inadvertently pass
uninitialized stack garbage into the new field, permanently breaking
backward compatibility. -- sashiko [1]
Fix it by changing sizeof(info) to
offsetofend(struct bpf_map_info, hash_size).
And, add "__u32 :32" to the tail of struct bpf_map_info.
