b61c5be1f6 Backport new vmalloc for "large performance benefits"
This is a backport from Linux 5.2-rc1 of a patch series to greatly enhance vmalloc's performance
especially on embedded systems, plus all of its dependencies that were missing in kernel 4.9.

For all the informations, refer to LKML: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/19/786

Brief informations:
Currently an allocation of the new VA area is done over busy list iteration until a suitable hole
is found between two busy areas. Therefore each new allocation causes the list being grown.
Due to long list and different permissive parameters an allocation can take a long time on
embedded devices(milliseconds).

This patch organizes the vmalloc memory layout into free areas of the VMALLOC_START-VMALLOC_END range.
It uses a red-black tree that keeps blocks sorted by their offsets in pair with linked list
keeping the free space in order of increasing addresses.

Quote Phoronix:
With this patch from Uladzislau Rezki, calling vmalloc() can take up to 67% less time compared
to the behavior on Linux 5.1 and prior, at least with tests done by the developer under QEMU.

Personal tests are showing that the device is more responsive when memory pressure is
high and when huge allocations are to be done, it's also noticeably faster in this case, like
when starting Chrome with more than 100 opened tabs after a system reboot (so, an
uncached complete load of it).

Shameless kanged from:

dd72e719a5 bpf: lpm_trie: check left child of last leftmost node for NULL
If the leftmost parent node of the tree has does not have a child
on the left side, then trie_get_next_key (and bpftool map dump) will
not look at the child on the right.  This leads to the traversal
missing elements.

Lookup is not affected.

Update selftest to handle this case.

Reproducer:

 bpftool map create /sys/fs/bpf/lpm type lpm_trie key 6 \
     value 1 entries 256 name test_lpm flags 1
 bpftool map update pinned /sys/fs/bpf/lpm key  8 0 0 0  0   0 value 1
 bpftool map update pinned /sys/fs/bpf/lpm key 16 0 0 0  0 128 value 2
 bpftool map dump   pinned /sys/fs/bpf/lpm

Returns only 1 element. (2 expected)

dc196115da BACKPORT: bpf: Fix out-of-bounds write in trie_get_next_key()
trie_get_next_key() allocates a node stack with size trie->max_prefixlen,
while it writes (trie->max_prefixlen + 1) nodes to the stack when it has
full paths from the root to leaves. For example, consider a trie with
max_prefixlen is 8, and the nodes with key 0x00/0, 0x00/1, 0x00/2, ...
0x00/8 inserted. Subsequent calls to trie_get_next_key with _key with
.prefixlen = 8 make 9 nodes be written on the node stack with size 8.

1d25eef9f4 bpf: Fix exact match conditions in trie_get_next_key()
trie_get_next_key() uses node->prefixlen == key->prefixlen to identify
an exact match, However, it is incorrect because when the target key
doesn't fully match the found node (e.g., node->prefixlen != matchlen),
these two nodes may also have the same prefixlen. It will return
expected result when the passed key exist in the trie. However when a
recently-deleted key or nonexistent key is passed to
trie_get_next_key(), it may skip keys and return incorrect result.

Fix it by using node->prefixlen == matchlen to identify exact matches.
When the condition is true after the search, it also implies
node->prefixlen equals key->prefixlen, otherwise, the search would
return NULL instead.

62cccbaa76 bpf: fix kernel page fault in lpm map trie_get_next_key
Commit b471f2f1de8b ("bpf: implement MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY command
for LPM_TRIE map") introduces a bug likes below:

    if (!rcu_dereference(trie->root))
        return -ENOENT;
    if (!key || key->prefixlen > trie->max_prefixlen) {
        root = &trie->root;
        goto find_leftmost;
    }
    ......
  find_leftmost:
    for (node = rcu_dereference(*root); node;) {

In the code after label find_leftmost, it is assumed
that *root should not be NULL, but it is not true as
it is possbile trie->root is changed to NULL by an
asynchronous delete operation.

The issue is reported by syzbot and Eric Dumazet with the
below error log:
  ......
  kasan: CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE enabled
  kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access
  general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN

  ......

This patch fixed the issue by use local rcu_dereferenced
pointer instead of *(&trie->root) later on.

8f1c9f19c5 bpf: introduce per-cpu cgroup local storage
This commit introduced per-cpu cgroup local storage.

Per-cpu cgroup local storage is very similar to simple cgroup storage
(let's call it shared), except all the data is per-cpu.

The main goal of per-cpu variant is to implement super fast
counters (e.g. packet counters), which don't require neither
lookups, neither atomic operations.

>From userspace's point of view, accessing a per-cpu cgroup storage
is similar to other per-cpu map types (e.g. per-cpu hashmaps and
arrays).

Writing to a per-cpu cgroup storage is not atomic, but is performed
by copying longs, so some minimal atomicity is here, exactly
as with other per-cpu maps.

5d20824792 bpf: extend cgroup bpf core to allow multiple cgroup storage types
In order to introduce per-cpu cgroup storage, let's generalize
bpf cgroup core to support multiple cgroup storage types.
Potentially, per-node cgroup storage can be added later.

This commit is mostly a formal change that replaces
cgroup_storage pointer with a array of cgroup_storage pointers.
It doesn't actually introduce a new storage type,
it will be done later.

Each bpf program is now able to have one cgroup storage of each type.

e9187336ca bpf: introduce new bpf cpu map type BPF_MAP_TYPE_CPUMAP
The 'cpumap' is primarily used as a backend map for XDP BPF helper
call bpf_redirect_map() and XDP_REDIRECT action, like 'devmap'.

This patch implement the main part of the map.  It is not connected to
the XDP redirect system yet, and no SKB allocation are done yet.

The main concern in this patch is to ensure the datapath can run
without any locking.  This adds complexity to the setup and tear-down
procedure, which assumptions are extra carefully documented in the
code comments.

V2:
 - make sure array isn't larger than NR_CPUS
 - make sure CPUs added is a valid possible CPU

V3: fix nitpicks from Jakub Kicinski <kubakici@wp.pl>

V5:
 - Restrict map allocation to root / CAP_SYS_ADMIN
 - WARN_ON_ONCE if queue is not empty on tear-down
 - Return -EPERM on memlock limit instead of -ENOMEM
 - Error code in __cpu_map_entry_alloc() also handle ptr_ring_cleanup()
 - Moved cpu_map_enqueue() to next patch

V6: all notice by Daniel Borkmann
 - Fix err return code in cpu_map_alloc() introduced in V5
 - Move cpu_possible() check after max_entries boundary check
 - Forbid usage initially in check_map_func_compatibility()

V7:
 - Fix alloc error path spotted by Daniel Borkmann
 - Did stress test adding+removing CPUs from the map concurrently
 - Fixed refcnt issue on cpu_map_entry, kthread started too soon
 - Make sure packets are flushed during tear-down, involved use of
   rcu_barrier() and kthread_run only exit after queue is empty
 - Fix alloc error path in __cpu_map_entry_alloc() for ptr_ring

V8:
 - Nitpicking comments and gramma by Edward Cree
 - Fix missing semi-colon introduced in V7 due to rebasing
 - Move struct bpf_cpu_map_entry members cpu+map_id to tracepoint patch

eaf30b6384 bpf: add writable context for raw tracepoints
This is an opt-in interface that allows a tracepoint to provide a safe
buffer that can be written from a BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT program.
The size of the buffer must be a compile-time constant, and is checked
before allowing a BPF program to attach to a tracepoint that uses this
feature.

The pointer to this buffer will be the first argument of tracepoints
that opt in; the pointer is valid and can be bpf_probe_read() by both
BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT and BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT_WRITABLE
programs that attach to such a tracepoint, but the buffer to which it
points may only be written by the latter.

c82bbf8a9a BACKPORT: bpf: introduce BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT
Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT bpf program type to access
kernel internal arguments of the tracepoints in their raw form.

>From bpf program point of view the access to the arguments look like:
struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args {
       __u64 args[0];
};

int bpf_prog(struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args *ctx)
{
  // program can read args[N] where N depends on tracepoint
  // and statically verified at program load+attach time
}

kprobe+bpf infrastructure allows programs access function arguments.
This feature allows programs access raw tracepoint arguments.

Similar to proposed 'dynamic ftrace events' there are no abi guarantees
to what the tracepoints arguments are and what their meaning is.
The program needs to type cast args properly and use bpf_probe_read()
helper to access struct fields when argument is a pointer.

For every tracepoint __bpf_trace_##call function is prepared.
In assembler it looks like:
(gdb) disassemble __bpf_trace_xdp_exception
Dump of assembler code for function __bpf_trace_xdp_exception:
   0xffffffff81132080 <+0>:     mov    %ecx,%ecx
   0xffffffff81132082 <+2>:     jmpq   0xffffffff811231f0 <bpf_trace_run3>

where

TRACE_EVENT(xdp_exception,
        TP_PROTO(const struct net_device *dev,
                 const struct bpf_prog *xdp, u32 act),

The above assembler snippet is casting 32-bit 'act' field into 'u64'
to pass into bpf_trace_run3(), while 'dev' and 'xdp' args are passed as-is.
All of ~500 of __bpf_trace_*() functions are only 5-10 byte long
and in total this approach adds 7k bytes to .text.

This approach gives the lowest possible overhead
while calling trace_xdp_exception() from kernel C code and
transitioning into bpf land.
Since tracepoint+bpf are used at speeds of 1M+ events per second
this is valuable optimization.

The new BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN sys_bpf command is introduced
that returns anon_inode FD of 'bpf-raw-tracepoint' object.

The user space looks like:
// load bpf prog with BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT type
prog_fd = bpf_prog_load(...);
// receive anon_inode fd for given bpf_raw_tracepoint with prog attached
raw_tp_fd = bpf_raw_tracepoint_open("xdp_exception", prog_fd);

Ctrl-C of tracing daemon or cmdline tool that uses this feature
will automatically detach bpf program, unload it and
unregister tracepoint probe.

On the kernel side the __bpf_raw_tp_map section of pointers to
tracepoint definition and to __bpf_trace_*() probe function is used
to find a tracepoint with "xdp_exception" name and
corresponding __bpf_trace_xdp_exception() probe function
which are passed to tracepoint_probe_register() to connect probe
with tracepoint.

Addition of bpf_raw_tracepoint doesn't interfere with ftrace and perf
tracepoint mechanisms. perf_event_open() can be used in parallel
on the same tracepoint.
Multiple bpf_raw_tracepoint_open("xdp_exception", prog_fd) are permitted.
Each with its own bpf program. The kernel will execute
all tracepoint probes and all attached bpf programs.

In the future bpf_raw_tracepoints can be extended with
query/introspection logic.

__bpf_raw_tp_map section logic was contributed by Steven Rostedt

8c8ae79d69 bpf/tracing: fix kernel/events/core.c compilation error
Commit f371b304f12e ("bpf/tracing: allow user space to
query prog array on the same tp") introduced a perf
ioctl command to query prog array attached to the
same perf tracepoint. The commit introduced a
compilation error under certain config conditions, e.g.,
  (1). CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL is not defined, or
  (2). CONFIG_TRACING is defined but neither CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS
       nor CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS is defined.

Error message:
  kernel/events/core.o: In function `perf_ioctl':
  core.c:(.text+0x98c4): undefined reference to `bpf_event_query_prog_array'

This patch fixed this error by guarding the real definition under
CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS and provided static inline dummy function
if CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS was not defined.
It renamed the function from bpf_event_query_prog_array to
perf_event_query_prog_array and moved the definition from linux/bpf.h
to linux/trace_events.h so the definition is in proximity to
other prog_array related functions.

584ccc7b04 BACKPORT: bpf/tracing: allow user space to query prog array on the same tp
Commit e87c6bc3852b ("bpf: permit multiple bpf attachments
for a single perf event") added support to attach multiple
bpf programs to a single perf event.
Although this provides flexibility, users may want to know
what other bpf programs attached to the same tp interface.
Besides getting visibility for the underlying bpf system,
such information may also help consolidate multiple bpf programs,
understand potential performance issues due to a large array,
and debug (e.g., one bpf program which overwrites return code
may impact subsequent program results).

Commit 2541517c32 ("tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs
attached to kprobes") utilized the existing perf ioctl
interface and added the command PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF
to attach a bpf program to a tracepoint. This patch adds a new
ioctl command, given a perf event fd, to query the bpf program
array attached to the same perf tracepoint event.

The new uapi ioctl command:
  PERF_EVENT_IOC_QUERY_BPF

The new uapi/linux/perf_event.h structure:
  struct perf_event_query_bpf {
      __u32    ids_len;
      __u32    prog_cnt;
      __u32    ids[0];
  };

User space provides buffer "ids" for kernel to copy to.
When returning from the kernel, the number of available
programs in the array is set in "prog_cnt".

The usage:
  struct perf_event_query_bpf *query =
    malloc(sizeof(*query) + sizeof(u32) * ids_len);
  query.ids_len = ids_len;
  err = ioctl(pmu_efd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_QUERY_BPF, query);
  if (err == 0) {
    /* query.prog_cnt is the number of available progs,
     * number of progs in ids: (ids_len == 0) ? 0 : query.prog_cnt
     */
  } else if (errno == ENOSPC) {
    /* query.ids_len number of progs copied,
     * query.prog_cnt is the number of available progs
     */
  } else {
     /* other errors */
  }

b686e28880 stop using '%pK' for /proc/kallsyms pointer values
Not only is it annoying to have one single flag for all pointers, as if
that was a global choice and all kernel pointers are the same, but %pK
can't get the 'access' vs 'open' time check right anyway.

So make the /proc/kallsyms pointer value code use logic specific to that
particular file.  We do continue to honor kptr_restrict, but the default
(which is unrestricted) is changed to instead take expected users into
account, and restrict access by default.

Right now the only actual expected user is kernel profiling, which has a
separate sysctl flag for kernel profile access.  There may be others.

deaecec829 rcu: Speed up calling of RCU tasks callbacks
Joel Fernandes found that the synchronize_rcu_tasks() was taking a
significant amount of time. He demonstrated it with the following test:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # while [ 1 ]; do x=1; done &
 # echo '__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter
 # time echo '!__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter;

real	0m1.064s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.004s

Where it takes a little over a second to perform the synchronize,
because there's a loop that waits 1 second at a time for tasks to get
through their quiescent points when there's a task that must be waited
for.

After discussion we came up with a simple way to wait for holdouts but
increase the time for each iteration of the loop but no more than a
full second.

With the new patch we have:

 # time echo '!__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter;

real	0m0.131s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.004s

Which drops it down to 13% of what the original wait time was.

Sysbot discovered that the queue and stack maps can deadlock if they are
being used from a BPF program that can be called from NMI context (such as
one that is attached to a perf HW counter event). To fix this, add an
in_nmi() check and use raw_spin_trylock() in NMI context, erroring out if

f3fb8a3d43 bpf: Don't EFAULT for {g,s}setsockopt with wrong optlen
With the way the hooks implemented right now, we have a special
condition: optval larger than PAGE_SIZE will expose only first 4k into
BPF; any modifications to the optval are ignored. If the BPF program
doesn't handle this condition by resetting optlen to 0,
the userspace will get EFAULT.

The intention of the EFAULT was to make it apparent to the
developers that the program is doing something wrong.
However, this inadvertently might affect production workloads
with the BPF programs that are not too careful (i.e., returning EFAULT
for perfectly valid setsockopt/getsockopt calls).

Let's try to minimize the chance of BPF program screwing up userspace
by ignoring the output of those BPF programs (instead of returning
EFAULT to the userspace). pr_info_once those cases to
the dmesg to help with figuring out what's going wrong.

acfb0a21dd bpf: Fix the off-by-two error in range markings
The first commit cited below attempts to fix the off-by-one error that
appeared in some comparisons with an open range. Due to this error,
arithmetically equivalent pieces of code could get different verdicts
from the verifier, for example (pseudocode):

  // 1. Passes the verifier:
  if (data + 8 > data_end)
      return early
  read *(u64 *)data, i.e. [data; data+7]

  // 2. Rejected by the verifier (should still pass):
  if (data + 7 >= data_end)
      return early
  read *(u64 *)data, i.e. [data; data+7]

The attempted fix, however, shifts the range by one in a wrong
direction, so the bug not only remains, but also such piece of code
starts failing in the verifier:

  // 3. Rejected by the verifier, but the check is stricter than in #1.
  if (data + 8 >= data_end)
      return early
  read *(u64 *)data, i.e. [data; data+7]

The change performed by that fix converted an off-by-one bug into
off-by-two. The second commit cited below added the BPF selftests
written to ensure than code chunks like #3 are rejected, however,
they should be accepted.

This commit fixes the off-by-two error by adjusting new_range in the
right direction and fixes the tests by changing the range into the
one that should actually fail.

Due to this all of the bpf_ringbuf_*() helper functions could be used with
a wrong map type such as array or hash map, leading to invalid access due
to type confusion.

Also, both BPF_FUNC_ringbuf_{submit,discard} have ARG_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM as
argument and not a BPF map. Therefore, their check_map_func_compatibility()
presence is incorrect since it's only for map type checking.

9b894d128a bpf: Prevent writable memory-mapping of read-only ringbuf pages
Only the very first page of BPF ringbuf that contains consumer position
counter is supposed to be mapped as writeable by user-space. Producer
position is read-only and can be modified only by the kernel code. BPF ringbuf
data pages are read-only as well and are not meant to be modified by
user-code to maintain integrity of per-record headers.

This patch allows to map only consumer position page as writeable and
everything else is restricted to be read-only. remap_vmalloc_range()
internally adds VM_DONTEXPAND, so all the established memory mappings can't be
extended, which prevents any future violations through mremap()'ing.

Attaching to these hooks can break iptables because its optval is
usually quite big, or at least bigger than the current PAGE_SIZE limit.
David also mentioned some SCTP options can be big (around 256k).

For such optvals we expose only the first PAGE_SIZE bytes to
the BPF program. BPF program has two options:
1. Set ctx->optlen to 0 to indicate that the BPF's optval
   should be ignored and the kernel should use original userspace
   value.
2. Set ctx->optlen to something that's smaller than the PAGE_SIZE.

v5:
* use ctx->optlen == 0 with trimmed buffer (Alexei Starovoitov)
* update the docs accordingly

v4:
* use temporary buffer to avoid optval == optval_end == NULL;
  this removes the corner case in the verifier that might assume
  non-zero PTR_TO_PACKET/PTR_TO_PACKET_END.

v3:
* don't increase the limit, bypass the argument

v2:
* proper comments formatting (Jakub Kicinski)

Andrii Nakryiko
62147f01d8 bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier support for it
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.

4ec149beff bpf: Fix missing bpf_base_func_proto in cgroup_base_func_proto for CGROUP_NET=n
linux-next build bot reported compile issue [1] with one of its
configs. It looks like when we have CONFIG_NET=n and
CONFIG_BPF{,_SYSCALL}=y, we are missing the bpf_base_func_proto
definition (from net/core/filter.c) in cgroup_base_func_proto.

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
bpf_user_rnd_u32.

1516a1c327 bpf: Enable more helpers for BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_{DEVICE,SYSCTL,SOCKOPT}
Currently the following prog types don't fall back to bpf_base_func_proto()
(instead they have cgroup_base_func_proto which has a limited set of
helpers from bpf_base_func_proto):
* BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_DEVICE
* BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL
* BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCKOPT

I don't see any specific reason why we shouldn't use bpf_base_func_proto(),
every other type of program (except bpf-lirc and, understandably, tracing)
use it, so let's fall back to bpf_base_func_proto for those prog types
as well.

This basically boils down to adding access to the following helpers:
* BPF_FUNC_get_prandom_u32
* BPF_FUNC_get_smp_processor_id
* BPF_FUNC_get_numa_node_id
* BPF_FUNC_tail_call
* BPF_FUNC_ktime_get_ns
* BPF_FUNC_spin_lock (CAP_SYS_ADMIN)
* BPF_FUNC_spin_unlock (CAP_SYS_ADMIN)
* BPF_FUNC_jiffies64 (CAP_SYS_ADMIN)

I've also added bpf_perf_event_output() because it's really handy for
logging and debugging.

3b3fb5ed0d bpf: Enable bpf cgroup hooks to retrieve cgroup v2 and ancestor id
Enable the bpf_get_current_cgroup_id() helper for connect(), sendmsg(),
recvmsg() and bind-related hooks in order to retrieve the cgroup v2
context which can then be used as part of the key for BPF map lookups,
for example. Given these hooks operate in process context 'current' is
always valid and pointing to the app that is performing mentioned
syscalls if it's subject to a v2 cgroup. Also with same motivation of
commit 7723628101aa ("bpf: Introduce bpf_skb_ancestor_cgroup_id helper")
enable retrieval of ancestor from current so the cgroup id can be used
for policy lookups which can then forbid connect() / bind(), for example.

03f13b0768 bpf: Add netns cookie and enable it for bpf cgroup hooks
In Cilium we're mainly using BPF cgroup hooks today in order to implement
kube-proxy free Kubernetes service translation for ClusterIP, NodePort (*),
ExternalIP, and LoadBalancer as well as HostPort mapping [0] for all traffic
between Cilium managed nodes. While this works in its current shape and avoids
packet-level NAT for inter Cilium managed node traffic, there is one major
limitation we're facing today, that is, lack of netns awareness.

In Kubernetes, the concept of Pods (which hold one or multiple containers)
has been built around network namespaces, so while we can use the global scope
of attaching to root BPF cgroup hooks also to our advantage (e.g. for exposing
NodePort ports on loopback addresses), we also have the need to differentiate
between initial network namespaces and non-initial one. For example, ExternalIP
services mandate that non-local service IPs are not to be translated from the
host (initial) network namespace as one example. Right now, we have an ugly
work-around in place where non-local service IPs for ExternalIP services are
not xlated from connect() and friends BPF hooks but instead via less efficient
packet-level NAT on the veth tc ingress hook for Pod traffic.

On top of determining whether we're in initial or non-initial network namespace
we also have a need for a socket-cookie like mechanism for network namespaces
scope. Socket cookies have the nice property that they can be combined as part
of the key structure e.g. for BPF LRU maps without having to worry that the
cookie could be recycled. We are planning to use this for our sessionAffinity
implementation for services. Therefore, add a new bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper
which would resolve both use cases at once: bpf_get_netns_cookie(NULL) would
provide the cookie for the initial network namespace while passing the context
instead of NULL would provide the cookie from the application's network namespace.
We're using a hole, so no size increase; the assignment happens only once.
Therefore this allows for a comparison on initial namespace as well as regular
cookie usage as we have today with socket cookies. We could later on enable
this helper for other program types as well as we would see need.

After further debugging, turns out while in case of other helper functions
we disallow passing modified ctx, the special case of ld/abs/ind instruction
which has similar semantics (except r6 being the ctx argument) is missing
such check. Modified ctx is impossible here as bpf_skb_load_helper_8_no_cache()
and others are expecting skb fields in original position, hence, add
check_ctx_reg() to reject any modified ctx. Issue was first introduced back
in f1174f77b50c ("bpf/verifier: rework value tracking").

71edbf6432 bpf: Add mmap() support for BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY
Add ability to memory-map contents of BPF array map. This is extremely useful
for working with BPF global data from userspace programs. It allows to avoid
typical bpf_map_{lookup,update}_elem operations, improving both performance
and usability.

There had to be special considerations for map freezing, to avoid having
writable memory view into a frozen map. To solve this issue, map freezing and
mmap-ing is happening under mutex now:
  - if map is already frozen, no writable mapping is allowed;
  - if map has writable memory mappings active (accounted in map->writecnt),
    map freezing will keep failing with -EBUSY;
  - once number of writable memory mappings drops to zero, map freezing can be
    performed again.

Only non-per-CPU plain arrays are supported right now. Maps with spinlocks
can't be memory mapped either.

For BPF_F_MMAPABLE array, memory allocation has to be done through vmalloc()
to be mmap()'able. We also need to make sure that array data memory is
page-sized and page-aligned, so we over-allocate memory in such a way that
struct bpf_array is at the end of a single page of memory with array->value
being aligned with the start of the second page. On deallocation we need to
accomodate this memory arrangement to free vmalloc()'ed memory correctly.

One important consideration regarding how memory-mapping subsystem functions.
Memory-mapping subsystem provides few optional callbacks, among them open()
and close().  close() is called for each memory region that is unmapped, so
that users can decrease their reference counters and free up resources, if
necessary. open() is *almost* symmetrical: it's called for each memory region
that is being mapped, **except** the very first one. So bpf_map_mmap does
initial refcnt bump, while open() will do any extra ones after that. Thus
number of close() calls is equal to number of open() calls plus one more.
