bpf, x64: Fix tailcall hierarchy
This patch fixes a tailcall issue caused by abusing the tailcall in
bpf2bpf feature.
As we know, tail_call_cnt propagates by rax from caller to callee when
to call subprog in tailcall context. But, like the following example,
MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT won't work because of missing tail_call_cnt
back-propagation from callee to caller.
\#include <linux/bpf.h>
\#include <bpf/bpf_helpers.h>
\#include "bpf_legacy.h"
struct {
__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY);
__uint(max_entries, 1);
__uint(key_size, sizeof(__u32));
__uint(value_size, sizeof(__u32));
} jmp_table SEC(".maps");
int count = 0;
static __noinline
int subprog_tail1(struct __sk_buff *skb)
{
bpf_tail_call_static(skb, &jmp_table, 0);
return 0;
}
static __noinline
int subprog_tail2(struct __sk_buff *skb)
{
bpf_tail_call_static(skb, &jmp_table, 0);
return 0;
}
SEC("tc")
int entry(struct __sk_buff *skb)
{
volatile int ret = 1;
count++;
subprog_tail1(skb);
subprog_tail2(skb);
return ret;
}
char __license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
At run time, the tail_call_cnt in entry() will be propagated to
subprog_tail1() and subprog_tail2(). But, when the tail_call_cnt in
subprog_tail1() updates when bpf_tail_call_static(), the tail_call_cnt
in entry() won't be updated at the same time. As a result, in entry(),
when tail_call_cnt in entry() is less than MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT and
subprog_tail1() returns because of MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT limit,
bpf_tail_call_static() in suprog_tail2() is able to run because the
tail_call_cnt in subprog_tail2() propagated from entry() is less than
MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT.
So, how many tailcalls are there for this case if no error happens?
From top-down view, does it look like hierarchy layer and layer?
With this view, there will be 2+4+8+...+2^33 = 2^34 - 2 = 17,179,869,182
tailcalls for this case.
How about there are N subprog_tail() in entry()? There will be almost
N^34 tailcalls.
Then, in this patch, it resolves this case on x86_64.
In stead of propagating tail_call_cnt from caller to callee, it
propagates its pointer, tail_call_cnt_ptr, tcc_ptr for short.
However, where does it store tail_call_cnt?
It stores tail_call_cnt on the stack of main prog. When tail call
happens in subprog, it increments tail_call_cnt by tcc_ptr.
Meanwhile, it stores tail_call_cnt_ptr on the stack of main prog, too.
And, before jump to tail callee, it has to pop tail_call_cnt and
tail_call_cnt_ptr.
Then, at the prologue of subprog, it must not make rax as
tail_call_cnt_ptr again. It has to reuse tail_call_cnt_ptr from caller.
As a result, at run time, it has to recognize rax is tail_call_cnt or
tail_call_cnt_ptr at prologue by:
1. rax is tail_call_cnt if rax is <= MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT.
2. rax is tail_call_cnt_ptr if rax is > MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT, because a
pointer won't be <= MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT.
Here's an example to dump JITed.
struct {
__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY);
__uint(max_entries, 1);
__uint(key_size, sizeof(__u32));
__uint(value_size, sizeof(__u32));
} jmp_table SEC(".maps");
int count = 0;
static __noinline
int subprog_tail(struct __sk_buff *skb)
{
bpf_tail_call_static(skb, &jmp_table, 0);
return 0;
}
SEC("tc")
int entry(struct __sk_buff *skb)
{
int ret = 1;
count++;
subprog_tail(skb);
subprog_tail(skb);
return ret;
}

Furthermore, when trampoline is the caller of bpf prog, which is
tail_call_reachable, it is required to propagate rax through trampoline.
