BPF has three formatted output helpers: bpf_trace_printk, bpf_seq_printf
and bpf_snprintf. Their signatures specify that all arguments are
provided from the BPF world as u64s (in an array or as registers). All
of these helpers are currently implemented by calling functions such as
snprintf() whose signatures take a variable number of arguments, then
placed in a va_list by the compiler to call vsnprintf().
"d9c9e4db bpf: Factorize bpf_trace_printk and bpf_seq_printf" introduced
a bpf_printf_prepare function that fills an array of u64 sanitized
arguments with an array of "modifiers" which indicate what the "real"
size of each argument should be (given by the format specifier). The
BPF_CAST_FMT_ARG macro consumes these arrays and casts each argument to
its real size. However, the C promotion rules implicitely cast them all
back to u64s. Therefore, the arguments given to snprintf are u64s and
the va_list constructed by the compiler will use 64 bits for each
argument. On 64 bit machines, this happens to work well because 32 bit
arguments in va_lists need to occupy 64 bits anyway, but on 32 bit
architectures this breaks the layout of the va_list expected by the
called function and mangles values.
In "88a5c690b6 bpf: fix bpf_trace_printk on 32 bit archs", this problem
had been solved for bpf_trace_printk only with a "horrid workaround"
that emitted multiple calls to trace_printk where each call had
different argument types and generated different va_list layouts. One of
the call would be dynamically chosen at runtime. This was ok with the 3
arguments that bpf_trace_printk takes but bpf_seq_printf and
bpf_snprintf accept up to 12 arguments. Because this approach scales
code exponentially, it is not a viable option anymore.
Because the promotion rules are part of the language and because the
construction of a va_list is an arch-specific ABI, it's best to just
avoid variadic arguments and va_lists altogether. Thankfully the
kernel's snprintf() has an alternative in the form of bstr_printf() that
accepts arguments in a "binary buffer representation". These binary
buffers are currently created by vbin_printf and used in the tracing
subsystem to split the cost of printing into two parts: a fast one that
only dereferences and remembers values, and a slower one, called later,
that does the pretty-printing.
This patch refactors bpf_printf_prepare to construct binary buffers of
arguments consumable by bstr_printf() instead of arrays of arguments and
modifiers. This gets rid of BPF_CAST_FMT_ARG and greatly simplifies the
bpf_printf_prepare usage but there are a few gotchas that change how
bpf_printf_prepare needs to do things.
Currently, bpf_printf_prepare uses a per cpu temporary buffer as a
generic storage for strings and IP addresses. With this refactoring, the
temporary buffers now holds all the arguments in a structured binary
format.
To comply with the format expected by bstr_printf, certain format
specifiers also need to be pre-formatted: %pB and %pi6/%pi4/%pI4/%pI6.
Because vsnprintf subroutines for these specifiers are hard to expose,
we pre-format these arguments with calls to snprintf().

The implementation takes inspiration from the existing bpf_trace_printk
helper but there are a few differences:
To allow for a large number of format-specifiers, parameters are
provided in an array, like in bpf_seq_printf.
Because the output string takes two arguments and the array of
parameters also takes two arguments, the format string needs to fit in
one argument. Thankfully, ARG_PTR_TO_CONST_STR is guaranteed to point to
a zero-terminated read-only map so we don't need a format string length
arg.
Because the format-string is known at verification time, we also do
a first pass of format string validation in the verifier logic. This
makes debugging easier.

Two helpers (trace_printk and seq_printf) have very similar
implementations of format string parsing and a third one is coming
(snprintf). To avoid code duplication and make the code easier to
maintain, this moves the operations associated with format string
parsing (validation and argument sanitization) into one generic
function.
The implementation of the two existing helpers already drifted quite a
bit so unifying them entailed a lot of changes:
- bpf_trace_printk always expected fmt[fmt_size] to be the terminating
NULL character, this is no longer true, the first 0 is terminating.
- bpf_trace_printk now supports %% (which produces the percentage char).
- bpf_trace_printk now skips width formating fields.
- bpf_trace_printk now supports the X modifier (capital hexadecimal).
- bpf_trace_printk now supports %pK, %px, %pB, %pi4, %pI4, %pi6 and %pI6
- argument casting on 32 bit has been simplified into one macro and
using an enum instead of obscure int increments.
- bpf_seq_printf now uses bpf_trace_copy_string instead of
strncpy_from_kernel_nofault and handles the %pks %pus specifiers.
- bpf_seq_printf now prints longs correctly on 32 bit architectures.
- both were changed to use a global per-cpu tmp buffer instead of one
stack buffer for trace_printk and 6 small buffers for seq_printf.
- to avoid per-cpu buffer usage conflict, these helpers disable
preemption while the per-cpu buffer is in use.
- both helpers now support the %ps and %pS specifiers to print symbols.
The implementation is also moved from bpf_trace.c to helpers.c because
the upcoming bpf_snprintf helper will be made available to all BPF
programs and will need it.

Jiri Olsa reported a bug ([1]) in kernel where cgroup local
storage pointer may be NULL in bpf_get_local_storage() helper.
There are two issues uncovered by this bug:
(1). kprobe or tracepoint prog incorrectly sets cgroup local storage
before prog run,
(2). due to change from preempt_disable to migrate_disable,
preemption is possible and percpu storage might be overwritten
by other tasks.
This issue (1) is fixed in [2]. This patch tried to address issue (2).
The following shows how things can go wrong:
task 1: bpf_cgroup_storage_set() for percpu local storage
preemption happens
task 2: bpf_cgroup_storage_set() for percpu local storage
preemption happens
task 1: run bpf program
task 1 will effectively use the percpu local storage setting by task 2
which will be either NULL or incorrect ones.
Instead of just one common local storage per cpu, this patch fixed
the issue by permitting 8 local storages per cpu and each local
storage is identified by a task_struct pointer. This way, we
allow at most 8 nested preemption between bpf_cgroup_storage_set()
and bpf_cgroup_storage_unset(). The percpu local storage slot
is released (calling bpf_cgroup_storage_unset()) by the same task
after bpf program finished running.
bpf_test_run() is also fixed to use the new bpf_cgroup_storage_set()
interface.
The patch is tested on top of [2] with reproducer in [1].
Without this patch, kernel will emit error in 2-3 minutes.
With this patch, after one hour, still no error.

The bpf_for_each_map_elem() helper is introduced which
iterates all map elements with a callback function. The
helper signature looks like
long bpf_for_each_map_elem(map, callback_fn, callback_ctx, flags)
and for each map element, the callback_fn will be called. For example,
like hashmap, the callback signature may look like
long callback_fn(map, key, val, callback_ctx)
There are two known use cases for this. One is from upstream ([1]) where
a for_each_map_elem helper may help implement a timeout mechanism
in a more generic way. Another is from our internal discussion
for a firewall use case where a map contains all the rules. The packet
data can be compared to all these rules to decide allow or deny
the packet.
For array maps, users can already use a bounded loop to traverse
elements. Using this helper can avoid using bounded loop. For other
type of maps (e.g., hash maps) where bounded loop is hard or
impossible to use, this helper provides a convenient way to
operate on all elements.
For callback_fn, besides map and map element, a callback_ctx,
allocated on caller stack, is also passed to the callback
function. This callback_ctx argument can provide additional
input and allow to write to caller stack for output.
If the callback_fn returns 0, the helper will iterate through next
element if available. If the callback_fn returns 1, the helper
will stop iterating and returns to the bpf program. Other return
values are not used for now.
Currently, this helper is only available with jit. It is possible
to make it work with interpreter with so effort but I leave it
as the future work.

A helper is added to support tracing kernel type information in BPF
using the BPF Type Format (BTF). Its signature is
long bpf_snprintf_btf(char *str, u32 str_size, struct btf_ptr *ptr,
u32 btf_ptr_size, u64 flags);
struct btf_ptr * specifies
- a pointer to the data to be traced
- the BTF id of the type of data pointed to
- a flags field is provided for future use; these flags
are not to be confused with the BTF_F_* flags
below that control how the btf_ptr is displayed; the
flags member of the struct btf_ptr may be used to
disambiguate types in kernel versus module BTF, etc;
the main distinction is the flags relate to the type
and information needed in identifying it; not how it
is displayed.
For example a BPF program with a struct sk_buff *skb
could do the following:
static struct btf_ptr b = { };
b.ptr = skb;
b.type_id = __builtin_btf_type_id(struct sk_buff, 1);
bpf_snprintf_btf(str, sizeof(str), &b, sizeof(b), 0, 0);
Default output looks like this:
(struct sk_buff){
.transport_header = (__u16)65535,
.mac_header = (__u16)65535,
.end = (sk_buff_data_t)192,
.head = (unsigned char *)0x000000007524fd8b,
.data = (unsigned char *)0x000000007524fd8b,
.truesize = (unsigned int)768,
.users = (refcount_t){
.refs = (atomic_t){
.counter = (int)1,
},
},
}
Flags modifying display are as follows:
- BTF_F_COMPACT: no formatting around type information
- BTF_F_NONAME: no struct/union member names/types
- BTF_F_PTR_RAW: show raw (unobfuscated) pointer values;
equivalent to %px.
- BTF_F_ZERO: show zero-valued struct/union members;
they are not displayed by default

This commit adds a new MPSC ring buffer implementation into BPF ecosystem,
which allows multiple CPUs to submit data to a single shared ring buffer. On
the consumption side, only single consumer is assumed.
Motivation
----------
There are two distinctive motivators for this work, which are not satisfied by
existing perf buffer, which prompted creation of a new ring buffer
implementation.
- more efficient memory utilization by sharing ring buffer across CPUs;
- preserving ordering of events that happen sequentially in time, even
across multiple CPUs (e.g., fork/exec/exit events for a task).
These two problems are independent, but perf buffer fails to satisfy both.
Both are a result of a choice to have per-CPU perf ring buffer. Both can be
also solved by having an MPSC implementation of ring buffer. The ordering
problem could technically be solved for perf buffer with some in-kernel
counting, but given the first one requires an MPSC buffer, the same solution
would solve the second problem automatically.
Semantics and APIs
------------------
Single ring buffer is presented to BPF programs as an instance of BPF map of
type BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF. Two other alternatives considered, but ultimately
rejected.
One way would be to, similar to BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY, make
BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF could represent an array of ring buffers, but not enforce
"same CPU only" rule. This would be more familiar interface compatible with
existing perf buffer use in BPF, but would fail if application needed more
advanced logic to lookup ring buffer by arbitrary key. HASH_OF_MAPS addresses
this with current approach. Additionally, given the performance of BPF
ringbuf, many use cases would just opt into a simple single ring buffer shared
among all CPUs, for which current approach would be an overkill.
Another approach could introduce a new concept, alongside BPF map, to
represent generic "container" object, which doesn't necessarily have key/value
interface with lookup/update/delete operations. This approach would add a lot
of extra infrastructure that has to be built for observability and verifier
support. It would also add another concept that BPF developers would have to
familiarize themselves with, new syntax in libbpf, etc. But then would really
provide no additional benefits over the approach of using a map.
BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF doesn't support lookup/update/delete operations, but so
doesn't few other map types (e.g., queue and stack; array doesn't support
delete, etc).
The approach chosen has an advantage of re-using existing BPF map
infrastructure (introspection APIs in kernel, libbpf support, etc), being
familiar concept (no need to teach users a new type of object in BPF program),
and utilizing existing tooling (bpftool). For common scenario of using
a single ring buffer for all CPUs, it's as simple and straightforward, as
would be with a dedicated "container" object. On the other hand, by being
a map, it can be combined with ARRAY_OF_MAPS and HASH_OF_MAPS map-in-maps to
implement a wide variety of topologies, from one ring buffer for each CPU
(e.g., as a replacement for perf buffer use cases), to a complicated
application hashing/sharding of ring buffers (e.g., having a small pool of
ring buffers with hashed task's tgid being a look up key to preserve order,
but reduce contention).
Key and value sizes are enforced to be zero. max_entries is used to specify
the size of ring buffer and has to be a power of 2 value.
There are a bunch of similarities between perf buffer
(BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY) and new BPF ring buffer semantics:
- variable-length records;
- if there is no more space left in ring buffer, reservation fails, no
blocking;
- memory-mappable data area for user-space applications for ease of
consumption and high performance;
- epoll notifications for new incoming data;
- but still the ability to do busy polling for new data to achieve the
lowest latency, if necessary.
BPF ringbuf provides two sets of APIs to BPF programs:
- bpf_ringbuf_output() allows to *copy* data from one place to a ring
buffer, similarly to bpf_perf_event_output();
- bpf_ringbuf_reserve()/bpf_ringbuf_commit()/bpf_ringbuf_discard() APIs
split the whole process into two steps. First, a fixed amount of space is
reserved. If successful, a pointer to a data inside ring buffer data area
is returned, which BPF programs can use similarly to a data inside
array/hash maps. Once ready, this piece of memory is either committed or
discarded. Discard is similar to commit, but makes consumer ignore the
record.
bpf_ringbuf_output() has disadvantage of incurring extra memory copy, because
record has to be prepared in some other place first. But it allows to submit
records of the length that's not known to verifier beforehand. It also closely
matches bpf_perf_event_output(), so will simplify migration significantly.
bpf_ringbuf_reserve() avoids the extra copy of memory by providing a memory
pointer directly to ring buffer memory. In a lot of cases records are larger
than BPF stack space allows, so many programs have use extra per-CPU array as
a temporary heap for preparing sample. bpf_ringbuf_reserve() avoid this needs
completely. But in exchange, it only allows a known constant size of memory to
be reserved, such that verifier can verify that BPF program can't access
memory outside its reserved record space. bpf_ringbuf_output(), while slightly
slower due to extra memory copy, covers some use cases that are not suitable
for bpf_ringbuf_reserve().
The difference between commit and discard is very small. Discard just marks
a record as discarded, and such records are supposed to be ignored by consumer
code. Discard is useful for some advanced use-cases, such as ensuring
all-or-nothing multi-record submission, or emulating temporary malloc()/free()
within single BPF program invocation.
Each reserved record is tracked by verifier through existing
reference-tracking logic, similar to socket ref-tracking. It is thus
impossible to reserve a record, but forget to submit (or discard) it.
bpf_ringbuf_query() helper allows to query various properties of ring buffer.
Currently 4 are supported:
- BPF_RB_AVAIL_DATA returns amount of unconsumed data in ring buffer;
- BPF_RB_RING_SIZE returns the size of ring buffer;
- BPF_RB_CONS_POS/BPF_RB_PROD_POS returns current logical possition of
consumer/producer, respectively.
Returned values are momentarily snapshots of ring buffer state and could be
off by the time helper returns, so this should be used only for
debugging/reporting reasons or for implementing various heuristics, that take
into account highly-changeable nature of some of those characteristics.
One such heuristic might involve more fine-grained control over poll/epoll
notifications about new data availability in ring buffer. Together with
BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP/BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP flags for output/commit/discard helpers,
it allows BPF program a high degree of control and, e.g., more efficient
batched notifications. Default self-balancing strategy, though, should be
adequate for most applications and will work reliable and efficiently already.
Design and implementation
-------------------------
This reserve/commit schema allows a natural way for multiple producers, either
on different CPUs or even on the same CPU/in the same BPF program, to reserve
independent records and work with them without blocking other producers. This
means that if BPF program was interruped by another BPF program sharing the
same ring buffer, they will both get a record reserved (provided there is
enough space left) and can work with it and submit it independently. This
applies to NMI context as well, except that due to using a spinlock during
reservation, in NMI context, bpf_ringbuf_reserve() might fail to get a lock,
in which case reservation will fail even if ring buffer is not full.
The ring buffer itself internally is implemented as a power-of-2 sized
circular buffer, with two logical and ever-increasing counters (which might
wrap around on 32-bit architectures, that's not a problem):
- consumer counter shows up to which logical position consumer consumed the
data;
- producer counter denotes amount of data reserved by all producers.
Each time a record is reserved, producer that "owns" the record will
successfully advance producer counter. At that point, data is still not yet
ready to be consumed, though. Each record has 8 byte header, which contains
the length of reserved record, as well as two extra bits: busy bit to denote
that record is still being worked on, and discard bit, which might be set at
commit time if record is discarded. In the latter case, consumer is supposed
to skip the record and move on to the next one. Record header also encodes
record's relative offset from the beginning of ring buffer data area (in
pages). This allows bpf_ringbuf_commit()/bpf_ringbuf_discard() to accept only
the pointer to the record itself, without requiring also the pointer to ring
buffer itself. Ring buffer memory location will be restored from record
metadata header. This significantly simplifies verifier, as well as improving
API usability.
Producer counter increments are serialized under spinlock, so there is
a strict ordering between reservations. Commits, on the other hand, are
completely lockless and independent. All records become available to consumer
in the order of reservations, but only after all previous records where
already committed. It is thus possible for slow producers to temporarily hold
off submitted records, that were reserved later.
Reservation/commit/consumer protocol is verified by litmus tests in
Documentation/litmus-test/bpf-rb.
One interesting implementation bit, that significantly simplifies (and thus
speeds up as well) implementation of both producers and consumers is how data
area is mapped twice contiguously back-to-back in the virtual memory. This
allows to not take any special measures for samples that have to wrap around
at the end of the circular buffer data area, because the next page after the
last data page would be first data page again, and thus the sample will still
appear completely contiguous in virtual memory. See comment and a simple ASCII
diagram showing this visually in bpf_ringbuf_area_alloc().
Another feature that distinguishes BPF ringbuf from perf ring buffer is
a self-pacing notifications of new data being availability.
bpf_ringbuf_commit() implementation will send a notification of new record
being available after commit only if consumer has already caught up right up
to the record being committed. If not, consumer still has to catch up and thus
will see new data anyways without needing an extra poll notification.
Benchmarks (see tools/testing/selftests/bpf/benchs/bench_ringbuf.c) show that
this allows to achieve a very high throughput without having to resort to
tricks like "notify only every Nth sample", which are necessary with perf
buffer. For extreme cases, when BPF program wants more manual control of
notifications, commit/discard/output helpers accept BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP and
BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP flags, which give full control over notifications of data
availability, but require extra caution and diligence in using this API.
Comparison to alternatives
--------------------------
Before considering implementing BPF ring buffer from scratch existing
alternatives in kernel were evaluated, but didn't seem to meet the needs. They
largely fell into few categores:
- per-CPU buffers (perf, ftrace, etc), which don't satisfy two motivations
outlined above (ordering and memory consumption);
- linked list-based implementations; while some were multi-producer designs,
consuming these from user-space would be very complicated and most
probably not performant; memory-mapping contiguous piece of memory is
simpler and more performant for user-space consumers;
- io_uring is SPSC, but also requires fixed-sized elements. Naively turning
SPSC queue into MPSC w/ lock would have subpar performance compared to
locked reserve + lockless commit, as with BPF ring buffer. Fixed sized
elements would be too limiting for BPF programs, given existing BPF
programs heavily rely on variable-sized perf buffer already;
- specialized implementations (like a new printk ring buffer, [0]) with lots
of printk-specific limitations and implications, that didn't seem to fit
well for intended use with BPF programs.

Often it is useful when applying policy to know something about the
task. If the administrator has CAP_SYS_ADMIN rights then they can
use kprobe + networking hook and link the two programs together to
accomplish this. However, this is a bit clunky and also means we have
to call both the network program and kprobe program when we could just
use a single program and avoid passing metadata through sk_msg/skb->cb,
socket, maps, etc.
To accomplish this add probe_* helpers to bpf_base_func_proto programs
guarded by a perfmon_capable() check. New supported helpers are the
following,
BPF_FUNC_get_current_task
BPF_FUNC_probe_read_user
BPF_FUNC_probe_read_kernel
BPF_FUNC_probe_read_user_str
BPF_FUNC_probe_read_kernel_str

Implement permissions as stated in uapi/linux/capability.h
In order to do that the verifier allow_ptr_leaks flag is split
into four flags and they are set as:
env->allow_ptr_leaks = bpf_allow_ptr_leaks();
env->bypass_spec_v1 = bpf_bypass_spec_v1();
env->bypass_spec_v4 = bpf_bypass_spec_v4();
env->bpf_capable = bpf_capable();
The first three currently equivalent to perfmon_capable(), since leaking kernel
pointers and reading kernel memory via side channel attacks is roughly
equivalent to reading kernel memory with cap_perfmon.
'bpf_capable' enables bounded loops, precision tracking, bpf to bpf calls and
other verifier features. 'allow_ptr_leaks' enable ptr leaks, ptr conversions,
subtraction of pointers. 'bypass_spec_v1' disables speculative analysis in the
verifier, run time mitigations in bpf array, and enables indirect variable
access in bpf programs. 'bypass_spec_v4' disables emission of sanitation code
by the verifier.
That means that the networking BPF program loaded with CAP_BPF + CAP_NET_ADMIN
will have speculative checks done by the verifier and other spectre mitigation
applied. Such networking BPF program will not be able to leak kernel pointers
and will not be able to access arbitrary kernel memory.

The entire implementation is in kernel/bpf/helpers.c:

return ktime_get_mono_fast_ns();

const struct bpf_func_proto bpf_ktime_get_ns_proto = {
.func = bpf_ktime_get_ns,
.gpl_only = false,
.ret_type = RET_INTEGER,

and this was presumably marked GPL due to kernel/time/timekeeping.c:
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(ktime_get_mono_fast_ns);
and while that may make sense for kernel modules (although even that
is doubtful), there is currently AFAICT no other source of time
available to ebpf.
Furthermore this is really just equivalent to clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC)
which is exposed to userspace (via vdso even to make it performant)...
As such, I see no reason to keep the GPL restriction.

I'm reshuffling the code a bit to make it work. The common helpers
are moved into kernel/bpf/helpers.c and the bpf_base_func_proto is
exported from there.
Also, bpf_get_raw_cpu_id goes into kernel/bpf/core.c akin to existing

cgroup ID is currently allocated using a dedicated per-hierarchy idr
and used internally and exposed through tracepoints and bpf. This is
confusing because there are tracepoints and other interfaces which use
the cgroupfs ino as IDs.
The preceding changes made kn->id exposed as ino as 64bit ino on
supported archs or ino+gen (low 32bits as ino, high gen). There's no
reason for cgroup to use different IDs. The kernfs IDs are unique and
userland can easily discover them and map them back to paths using
standard file operations.
This patch replaces cgroup IDs with kernfs IDs.
* cgroup_id() is added and all cgroup ID users are converted to use it.
* kernfs_node creation is moved to earlier during cgroup init so that
cgroup_id() is available during init.
* While at it, s/cgroup/cgrp/ in psi helpers for consistency.
* Fallback ID value is changed to 1 to be consistent with root cgroup

kernfs_node->id is currently a union kernfs_node_id which represents
either a 32bit (ino, gen) pair or u64 value. I can't see much value
in the usage of the union - all that's needed is a 64bit ID which the
current code is already limited to. Using a union makes the code
unnecessarily complicated and prevents using 64bit ino without adding
practical benefits.
This patch drops union kernfs_node_id and makes kernfs_node->id a u64.
ino is stored in the lower 32bits and gen upper. Accessors -
kernfs[_id]_ino() and kernfs[_id]_gen() - are added to retrieve the
ino and gen. This simplifies ID handling less cumbersome and will
allow using 64bit inos on supported archs.
This patch doesn't make any functional changes.

Add bpf_strtol and bpf_strtoul to convert a string to long and unsigned
long correspondingly. It's similar to user space strtol(3) and
strtoul(3) with a few changes to the API:
* instead of NUL-terminated C string the helpers expect buffer and
buffer length;
* resulting long or unsigned long is returned in a separate
result-argument;
* return value is used to indicate success or failure, on success number
of consumed bytes is returned that can be used to identify position to
read next if the buffer is expected to contain multiple integers;
* instead of *base* argument, *flags* is used that provides base in 5
LSB, other bits are reserved for future use;
* number of supported bases is limited.
Documentation for the new helpers is provided in bpf.h UAPI.
The helpers are made available to BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL programs to
be able to convert string input to e.g. "ulongvec" output.
E.g. "net/ipv4/tcp_mem" consists of three ulong integers. They can be
parsed by calling to bpf_strtoul three times.
Implementation notes:
Implementation includes "../../lib/kstrtox.h" to reuse integer parsing
functions. It's done exactly same way as fs/proc/base.c already does.
Unfortunately existing kstrtoX function can't be used directly since
they fail if any invalid character is present right after integer in the
string. Existing simple_strtoX functions can't be used either since
they're obsolete and don't handle overflow properly.

Introduce BPF_F_LOCK flag for map_lookup and map_update syscall commands
and for map_update() helper function.
In all these cases take a lock of existing element (which was provided
in BTF description) before copying (in or out) the rest of map value.
Implementation details that are part of uapi:
Array:
The array map takes the element lock for lookup/update.
Hash:
hash map also takes the lock for lookup/update and tries to avoid the bucket lock.
If old element exists it takes the element lock and updates the element in place.
If element doesn't exist it allocates new one and inserts into hash table
while holding the bucket lock.
In rare case the hashmap has to take both the bucket lock and the element lock
to update old value in place.
Cgroup local storage:
It is similar to array. update in place and lookup are done with lock taken.

Introduce 'struct bpf_spin_lock' and bpf_spin_lock/unlock() helpers to let
bpf program serialize access to other variables.
Example:
struct hash_elem {
int cnt;
struct bpf_spin_lock lock;
};
struct hash_elem * val = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&hash_map, &key);
if (val) {
bpf_spin_lock(&val->lock);
val->cnt++;
bpf_spin_unlock(&val->lock);
}
Restrictions and safety checks:
- bpf_spin_lock is only allowed inside HASH and ARRAY maps.
- BTF description of the map is mandatory for safety analysis.
- bpf program can take one bpf_spin_lock at a time, since two or more can
cause dead locks.
- only one 'struct bpf_spin_lock' is allowed per map element.
It drastically simplifies implementation yet allows bpf program to use
any number of bpf_spin_locks.
- when bpf_spin_lock is taken the calls (either bpf2bpf or helpers) are not allowed.
- bpf program must bpf_spin_unlock() before return.
- bpf program can access 'struct bpf_spin_lock' only via
bpf_spin_lock()/bpf_spin_unlock() helpers.
- load/store into 'struct bpf_spin_lock lock;' field is not allowed.
- to use bpf_spin_lock() helper the BTF description of map value must be
a struct and have 'struct bpf_spin_lock anyname;' field at the top level.
Nested lock inside another struct is not allowed.
- syscall map_lookup doesn't copy bpf_spin_lock field to user space.
- syscall map_update and program map_update do not update bpf_spin_lock field.
- bpf_spin_lock cannot be on the stack or inside networking packet.
bpf_spin_lock can only be inside HASH or ARRAY map value.
- bpf_spin_lock is available to root only and to all program types.
- bpf_spin_lock is not allowed in inner maps of map-in-map.
- ld_abs is not allowed inside spin_lock-ed region.
- tracing progs and socket filter progs cannot use bpf_spin_lock due to
insufficient preemption checks
Implementation details:
- cgroup-bpf class of programs can nest with xdp/tc programs.
Hence bpf_spin_lock is equivalent to spin_lock_irqsave.
Other solutions to avoid nested bpf_spin_lock are possible.
Like making sure that all networking progs run with softirq disabled.
spin_lock_irqsave is the simplest and doesn't add overhead to the
programs that don't use it.
- arch_spinlock_t is used when its implemented as queued_spin_lock
- archs can force their own arch_spinlock_t
- on architectures where queued_spin_lock is not available and
sizeof(arch_spinlock_t) != sizeof(__u32) trivial lock is used.
- presence of bpf_spin_lock inside map value could have been indicated via
extra flag during map_create, but specifying it via BTF is cleaner.
It provides introspection for map key/value and reduces user mistakes.
Next steps:
- allow bpf_spin_lock in other map types (like cgroup local storage)
- introduce BPF_F_LOCK flag for bpf_map_update() syscall and helper
to request kernel to grab bpf_spin_lock before rewriting the value.
That will serialize access to map elements.

Queue/stack maps implement a FIFO/LIFO data storage for ebpf programs.
These maps support peek, pop and push operations that are exposed to eBPF
programs through the new bpf_map[peek/pop/push] helpers. Those operations
are exposed to userspace applications through the already existing
syscalls in the following way:
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM -> peek
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_ELEM -> pop
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM -> push
Queue/stack maps are implemented using a buffer, tail and head indexes,
hence BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC is not supported.
As opposite to other maps, queue and stack do not use RCU for protecting
maps values, the bpf_map[peek/pop] have a ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MAP_VALUE
argument that is a pointer to a memory zone where to save the value of a
map. Basically the same as ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM, but the size has not
be passed as an extra argument.
Our main motivation for implementing queue/stack maps was to keep track
of a pool of elements, like network ports in a SNAT, however we forsee
other use cases, like for exampling saving last N kernel events in a map
and then analysing from userspace.

bpf has been used extensively for tracing. For example, bcc
contains an almost full set of bpf-based tools to trace kernel
and user functions/events. Most tracing tools are currently
either filtered based on pid or system-wide.
Containers have been used quite extensively in industry and
cgroup is often used together to provide resource isolation
and protection. Several processes may run inside the same
container. It is often desirable to get container-level tracing
results as well, e.g. syscall count, function count, I/O
activity, etc.
This patch implements a new helper, bpf_get_current_cgroup_id(),
which will return cgroup id based on the cgroup within which
the current task is running.
The later patch will provide an example to show that
userspace can get the same cgroup id so it could
configure a filter or policy in the bpf program based on
task cgroup id.
The helper is currently implemented for tracing. It can
be added to other program types as well when needed.

This work implements direct packet access for helpers and direct packet
write in a similar fashion as already available for XDP types via commits
4acf6c0b84 ("bpf: enable direct packet data write for xdp progs") and
6841de8b0d ("bpf: allow helpers access the packet directly"), and as a
complementary feature to the already available direct packet read for tc
(cls/act) programs.
For enabling this, we need to introduce two helpers, bpf_skb_pull_data()
and bpf_csum_update(). The first is generally needed for both, read and
write, because they would otherwise only be limited to the current linear
skb head. Usually, when the data_end test fails, programs just bail out,
or, in the direct read case, use bpf_skb_load_bytes() as an alternative
to overcome this limitation. If such data sits in non-linear parts, we
can just pull them in once with the new helper, retest and eventually
access them.
At the same time, this also makes sure the skb is uncloned, which is, of
course, a necessary condition for direct write. As this needs to be an
invariant for the write part only, the verifier detects writes and adds
a prologue that is calling bpf_skb_pull_data() to effectively unclone the
skb from the very beginning in case it is indeed cloned. The heuristic
makes use of a similar trick that was done in 233577a220 ("net: filter:
constify detection of pkt_type_offset"). This comes at zero cost for other
programs that do not use the direct write feature. Should a program use
this feature only sparsely and has read access for the most parts with,
for example, drop return codes, then such write action can be delegated
to a tail called program for mitigating this cost of potential uncloning
to a late point in time where it would have been paid similarly with the
bpf_skb_store_bytes() as well. Advantage of direct write is that the
writes are inlined whereas the helper cannot make any length assumptions
and thus needs to generate a call to memcpy() also for small sizes, as well
as cost of helper call itself with sanity checks are avoided. Plus, when
direct read is already used, we don't need to cache or perform rechecks
on the data boundaries (due to verifier invalidating previous checks for
helpers that change skb->data), so more complex programs using rewrites
can benefit from switching to direct read plus write.
For direct packet access to helpers, we save the otherwise needed copy into
a temp struct sitting on stack memory when use-case allows. Both facilities
are enabled via may_access_direct_pkt_data() in verifier. For now, we limit
this to map helpers and csum_diff, and can successively enable other helpers
where we find it makes sense. Helpers that definitely cannot be allowed for
this are those part of bpf_helper_changes_skb_data() since they can change
underlying data, and those that write into memory as this could happen for
packet typed args when still cloned. bpf_csum_update() helper accommodates
for the fact that we need to fixup checksum_complete when using direct write
instead of bpf_skb_store_bytes(), meaning the programs can use available
helpers like bpf_csum_diff(), and implement csum_add(), csum_sub(),
csum_block_add(), csum_block_sub() equivalents in eBPF together with the
new helper. A usage example will be provided for iproute2's examples/bpf/

This work adds BPF_CALL_<n>() macros and converts all the eBPF helper functions
to use them, in a similar fashion like we do with SYSCALL_DEFINE<n>() macros
that are used today. Motivation for this is to hide all the register handling
and all necessary casts from the user, so that it is done automatically in the
background when adding a BPF_CALL_<n>() call.
This makes current helpers easier to review, eases to write future helpers,
avoids getting the casting mess wrong, and allows for extending all helpers at
once (f.e. build time checks, etc). It also helps detecting more easily in
code reviews that unused registers are not instrumented in the code by accident,
breaking compatibility with existing programs.
BPF_CALL_<n>() internals are quite similar to SYSCALL_DEFINE<n>() ones with some
fundamental differences, for example, for generating the actual helper function
that carries all u64 regs, we need to fill unused regs, so that we always end up
with 5 u64 regs as an argument.
I reviewed several 0-5 generated BPF_CALL_<n>() variants of the .i results and
they look all as expected. No sparse issue spotted. We let this also sit for a
few days with Fengguang's kbuild test robot, and there were no issues seen. On
s390, it barked on the "uses dynamic stack allocation" notice, which is an old
one from bpf_perf_event_output{,_tp}() reappearing here due to the conversion
to the call wrapper, just telling that the perf raw record/frag sits on stack
(gcc with s390's -mwarn-dynamicstack), but that's all. Did various runtime tests
and they were fine as well. All eBPF helpers are now converted to use these
macros, getting rid of a good chunk of all the raw castings.

Some minor misc cleanups, f.e. use sizeof(__u32) instead of hardcoding
and in __bpf_skb_max_len(), I missed that we always have skb->dev valid
anyway, so we can drop the unneeded test for dev; also few more other
misc bits addressed here.

Use smp_processor_id() for the generic helper bpf_get_smp_processor_id()
instead of the raw variant. This allows for preemption checks when we
have DEBUG_PREEMPT, and otherwise uses the raw variant anyway. We only
need to keep the raw variant for socket filters, but we can reuse the
helper that is already there from cBPF side.

This patch converts all helpers that can use ARG_PTR_TO_RAW_STACK as argument
type. For tc programs this is bpf_skb_load_bytes(), bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key(),
bpf_skb_get_tunnel_opt(). For tracing, this optimizes bpf_get_current_comm()
and bpf_probe_read(). The check in bpf_skb_load_bytes() for MAX_BPF_STACK can
also be removed since the verifier already makes sure we stay within bounds
on stack buffers.

Lots of places in the kernel use memcpy(buf, comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); but
the result is typically passed to print("%s", buf) and extra bytes
after zero don't cause any harm.
In bpf the result of bpf_get_current_comm() is used as the part of
map key and was causing spurious hash map mismatches.
Use strlcpy() to guarantee zero-terminated string.
bpf verifier checks that output buffer is zero-initialized,
so even for short task names the output buffer don't have junk bytes.
Note it's not a security concern, since kprobe+bpf is root only.

While recently arguing on a seccomp discussion that raw prandom_u32()
access shouldn't be exposed to unpriviledged user space, I forgot the
fact that SKF_AD_RANDOM extension actually already does it for some time
in cBPF via commit 4cd3675ebf ("filter: added BPF random opcode").
Since prandom_u32() is being used in a lot of critical networking code,
lets be more conservative and split their states. Furthermore, consolidate
eBPF and cBPF prandom handlers to use the new internal PRNG. For eBPF,
bpf_get_prandom_u32() was only accessible for priviledged users, but
should that change one day, we also don't want to leak raw sequences
through things like eBPF maps.
One thought was also to have own per bpf_prog states, but due to ABI
reasons this is not easily possible, i.e. the program code currently
cannot access bpf_prog itself, and copying the rnd_state to/from the
stack scratch space whenever a program uses the prng seems not really
worth the trouble and seems too hacky. If needed, taus113 could in such
cases be implemented within eBPF using a map entry to keep the state
space, or get_random_bytes() could become a second helper in cases where
performance would not be critical.
Both sides can trigger a one-time late init via prandom_init_once() on
the shared state. Performance-wise, there should even be a tiny gain
as bpf_user_rnd_u32() saves one function call. The PRNG needs to live
inside the BPF core since kernels could have a NET-less config as well.

eBPF programs attached to kprobes need to filter based on
current->pid, uid and other fields, so introduce helper functions:
u64 bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(void)
Return: current->tgid << 32 | current->pid
u64 bpf_get_current_uid_gid(void)
Return: current_gid << 32 | current_uid
bpf_get_current_comm(char *buf, int size_of_buf)
stores current->comm into buf
They can be used from the programs attached to TC as well to classify packets
based on current task fields.
Update tracex2 example to print histogram of write syscalls for each process
instead of aggregated for all.

Besides others, move bpf_tail_call_proto to the remaining definitions
of other protos, improve comments a bit (i.e. remove some obvious ones,
where the code is already self-documenting, add objectives for others),
simplify bpf_prog_array_compatible() a bit.

As this is already exported from tracing side via commit d9847d310a
("tracing: Allow BPF programs to call bpf_ktime_get_ns()"), we might
as well want to move it to the core, so also networking users can make
use of it, e.g. to measure diffs for certain flows from ingress/egress.

This patch adds the possibility to obtain raw_smp_processor_id() in
eBPF. Currently, this is only possible in classic BPF where commit
da2033c282 ("filter: add SKF_AD_RXHASH and SKF_AD_CPU") has added
facilities for this.
Perhaps most importantly, this would also allow us to track per CPU
statistics with eBPF maps, or to implement a poor-man's per CPU data
structure through eBPF maps.
Example function proto-type looks like:
u32 (*smp_processor_id)(void) = (void *)BPF_FUNC_get_smp_processor_id;

This work is similar to commit 4cd3675ebf ("filter: added BPF
random opcode") and adds a possibility for packet sampling in eBPF.
Currently, this is only possible in classic BPF and useful to
combine sampling with f.e. packet sockets, possible also with tc.
Example function proto-type looks like:
u32 (*prandom_u32)(void) = (void *)BPF_FUNC_get_prandom_u32;
