      bpf, x86: Remove unnecessary handling of BPF_SUB atomic op · b6ec7951
      Hou Tao authored
      According to the LLVM commit (https://reviews.llvm.org/D72184),
      sync_fetch_and_sub() is implemented as a negation followed by
      sync_fetch_and_add(), so there will be no BPF_SUB op, thus just
      remove it. BPF_SUB is also rejected by the verifier anyway.

      Merge branch 'bpf: add __user tagging support in vmlinux BTF' · 50fc9786

      ====================
      
      The __user attribute is currently mainly used by sparse for type checking.
      The attribute indicates whether a memory access is in user memory address
      space or not. Such information is important during tracing kernel
      internal functions or data structures as accessing user memory often
      has different mechanisms compared to accessing kernel memory. For example,
      the perf-probe needs explicit command line specification to indicate a
      particular argument or string in user-space memory ([1], [2], [3]).
      Currently, vmlinux BTF is available in kernel with many distributions.
      If __user attribute information is available in vmlinux BTF, the explicit
      user memory access information from users will not be necessary as
      the kernel can figure it out by itself with vmlinux BTF.
      
      Besides the above possible use for perf/probe, another use case is
      for bpf verifier. Currently, for bpf BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING type of bpf
      programs, users can write direct code like
        p->m1->m2
      and "p" could be a function parameter. Without __user information in BTF,
      the verifier will assume p->m1 accessing kernel memory and will generate
      normal loads. Let us say "p" actually tagged with __user in the source
      code.  In such cases, p->m1 is actually accessing user memory and direct
      load is not right and may produce incorrect result. For such cases,
      bpf_probe_read_user() will be the correct way to read p->m1.
      
      To support encoding __user information in BTF, a new attribute
        __attribute__((btf_type_tag("<arbitrary_string>")))
      is implemented in clang ([4]). For example, if we have
        #define __user __attribute__((btf_type_tag("user")))
      during kernel compilation, the attribute "user" information will
      be preserved in dwarf. After pahole converting dwarf to BTF, __user
      information will be available in vmlinux BTF and such information
      can be used by bpf verifier, perf/probe or other use cases.
      
      Currently btf_type_tag is only supported in clang (>= clang14) and
      pahole (>= 1.23). gcc support is also proposed and under development ([5]).
      
      In the rest of patch set, Patch 1 added support of __user btf_type_tag
      during compilation. Patch 2 added bpf verifier support to utilize __user
      tag information to reject bpf programs not using proper helper to access
      user memories. Patches 3-5 are for bpf selftests which demonstrate verifier
      can reject direct user memory accesses.

      Changelog:
        v2 -> v3:
          - remove FLAG_DONTCARE enumerator and just use 0 as dontcare flag.
          - explain how btf type_tag is encoded in btf type chain.
        v1 -> v2:
          - use MEM_USER flag for PTR_TO_BTF_ID reg type instead of a separate
            field to encode __user tag.
          - add a test with kernel function __sys_getsockname which has __user tagged
            argument.
