Björn Töpel says: ==================== This series contain one non-critical fix, support for far jumps, and some optimizations for the BPF JIT. Previously, the JIT only supported 12b branch targets for conditional branches, and 21b for unconditional branches. Starting with this series, 32b branching is supported. As part of supporting far jumps, branch relaxation was introduced. The idea is to start with a pessimistic jump (e.g. auipc/jalr) and for each pass the JIT will have an opportunity to pick a better instruction (e.g. jal) and shrink the image. Instead of two passes, the JIT requires more passes. It typically converges after 3 passes. The optimizations mentioned in the subject are for calls and tail calls. In the tail call generation we can save one instruction by using the offset in jalr. Calls are optimized by doing (auipc)/jal(r) relative jumps instead of loading the entire absolute address and doing jalr. This required that the JIT image allocator was made RISC-V specific, so we can ensure that the JIT image and the kernel text are in range (32b). The last two patches of the series is not critical to the series, but are two UAPI build issues for BPF events. A closer look from the RV-folks would be much appreciated. The test_bpf.ko module, selftests/bpf/test_verifier and selftests/seccomp/seccomp_bpf pass all tests. RISC-V is still missing proper kprobe and tracepoint support, so a lot of BPF selftests cannot be run. v1->v2: [1] * Removed unused function parameter from emit_branch() * Added patch to support far branch in tail call emit [1] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20191209173136.29615-1-bjorn.topel@gmail.com/ ==================== Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

This commit makes sure that the JIT images is kept close to the kernel text, so BPF calls can use relative calling with auipc/jalr or jal instead of loading the full 64-bit address and jalr.

Instead of all or nothing approach of overriding Kconfig file location, allow to extend it with extra values and override chosen subset of values though optional user-provided extra config, passed as a string through open options' .kconfig option. If same config key is present in both user-supplied config and Kconfig, user-supplied one wins. This allows applications to more easily test various conditions despite host kernel's real configuration. If all of BPF object's __kconfig externs are satisfied from user-supplied config, system Kconfig won't be read at all. Simplify selftests by not needing to create temporary Kconfig files.

There are cases in which BPF resource (program, map, etc) has to outlive userspace program that "installed" it in the system in the first place. When BPF program is attached, libbpf returns bpf_link object, which is supposed to be destroyed after no longer necessary through bpf_link__destroy() API. Currently, bpf_link destruction causes both automatic detachment and frees up any resources allocated to for bpf_link in-memory representation. This is inconvenient for the case described above because of coupling of detachment and resource freeing. This patch introduces bpf_link__disconnect() API call, which marks bpf_link as disconnected from its underlying BPF resouces. This means that when bpf_link is destroyed later, all its memory resources will be freed, but BPF resource itself won't be detached. This design allows to follow strict and resource-leak-free design by default, while giving easy and straightforward way for user code to opt for keeping BPF resource attached beyond lifetime of a bpf_link. For some BPF programs (i.e., FS-based tracepoints, kprobes, raw tracepoint, etc), user has to make sure to pin BPF program to prevent kernel to automatically detach it on process exit. This should typically be achived by pinning BPF program (or map in some cases) in BPF FS.

Libbpf is trying to recognize BPF program type based on its section name during bpf_object__open() phase. This is not strictly enforced and user code has ability to specify/override correct BPF program type after open. But if BPF program is using custom section name, libbpf will still emit warnings, which can be quite annoying to users. This patch reduces log level of information messages emitted by libbpf if section name is not canonical. User can still get a list of all supported section names as debug-level message.

Probably the single most common error newcomers to XDP are stumped by is the 'permission denied' error they get when trying to load their program and 'ulimit -l' is set too low. For examples, see [0], [1]. Since the error code is UAPI, we can't change that. Instead, this patch adds a few heuristics in libbpf and outputs an additional hint if they are met: If an EPERM is returned on map create or program load, and geteuid() shows we are root, and the current RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is not infinity, we output a hint about raising 'ulimit -l' as an additional log line.

When attaching XDP programs, userspace can set flags to request the attach mode (generic/SKB mode, driver mode or hw offloaded mode). If no such flags are requested, the kernel will attempt to attach in driver mode, and then silently fall back to SKB mode if this fails. The silent fallback is a major source of user confusion, as users will try to load a program on a device without XDP support, and instead of an error they will get the silent fallback behaviour, not notice, and then wonder why performance is not what they were expecting. In an attempt to combat this, let's switch all the samples to default to explicitly requesting driver-mode attach. As part of this, ensure that all the userspace utilities have a switch to enable SKB mode. For those that have a switch to request driver mode, keep it but turn it into a no-op.

This was reported once before[0], but it seems the flag to explicitly turn off the stack protector wasn't added to the Makefile, so do that now.

Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== It's often important for BPF program to know kernel version or some specific config values (e.g., CONFIG_HZ to convert jiffies to seconds) and change or adjust program logic based on their values. As of today, any such need has to be resolved by recompiling BPF program for specific kernel and kernel configuration. In practice this is usually achieved by using BCC and its embedded LLVM/Clang. With such set up #ifdef CONFIG_XXX and similar compile-time constructs allow to deal with kernel varieties. With CO-RE (Compile Once – Run Everywhere) approach, this is not an option, unfortunately. All such logic variations have to be done as a normal C language constructs (i.e., if/else, variables, etc), not a preprocessor directives. This patch series add support for such advanced scenarios through C extern variables. These extern variables will be recognized by libbpf and supplied through extra .extern internal map, similarly to global data. This .extern map is read-only, which allows BPF verifier to track its content precisely as constants. That gives an opportunity to have pre-compiled BPF program, which can potentially use BPF functionality (e.g., BPF helpers) or kernel features (types, fields, etc), that are available only on a subset of targeted kernels, while effectively eleminating (through verifier's dead code detection) such unsupported functionality for other kernels (typically, older versions). Patch #3 explicitly tests a scenario of using unsupported BPF helper, to validate the approach. This patch set heavily relies on BTF type information emitted by compiler for each extern variable declaration. Based on specific types, libbpf does strict checks of config data values correctness. See patch #1 for details. Outline of the patch set: - patch #1 does a small clean up of internal map names contants; - patch #2 adds all of the libbpf internal machinery for externs support, including setting up BTF information for .extern data section; - patch #3 adds support for .extern into BPF skeleton; - patch #4 adds externs selftests, as well as enhances test_skeleton.c test to validate mmap()-ed .extern datasection functionality. v3->v4: - clean up copyrights and rebase onto latest skeleton patches (Alexei); v2->v3: - truncate too long strings (Alexei); - clean ups, adding comments (Alexei); v1->v2: - use BTF type information for externs (Alexei); - add strings support; - add BPF skeleton support for .extern. ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

Add a set of tests validating libbpf-provided extern variables. One crucial feature that's tested is dead code elimination together with using invalid BPF helper. CONFIG_MISSING is not supposed to exist and should always be specified by libbpf as zero, which allows BPF verifier to correctly do branch pruning and not fail validation, when invalid BPF helper is called from dead if branch.
