      bpf: propagate poke descriptors to subprograms · a748c697
      Maciej Fijalkowski authored
      Previously, there was no need for poke descriptors being present in
      subprogram's bpf_prog_aux struct since tailcalls were simply not allowed
      in them. Each subprog is JITed independently so in order to enable
      JITing subprograms that use tailcalls, do the following:
      
      - in fixup_bpf_calls() store the index of tailcall insn onto the generated
        poke descriptor,
      - in case when insn patching occurs, adjust the tailcall insn idx from
        bpf_patch_insn_data,
      - then in jit_subprogs() check whether the given poke descriptor belongs
        to the current subprog by checking if that previously stored absolute
        index of tail call insn is in the scope of the insns of given subprog,
      - update the insn->imm with new poke descriptor slot so that while JITing
        the proper poke descriptor will be grabbed
      
      This way each of the main program's poke descriptors are distributed
      across the subprograms poke descriptor array, so main program's
      descriptors can be untracked out of the prog array map.
      
      Add also subprog's aux struct to the BPF map poke_progs list by calling
      on it map_poke_track().
      
      In case of any error, call the map_poke_untrack() on subprog's aux
      structs that have already been registered to prog array map.

      bpf, x64: use %rcx instead of %rax for tail call retpolines · 0d4ddce3
      Maciej Fijalkowski authored
      Currently, %rax is used to store the jump target when BPF program is
      emitting the retpoline instructions that are handling the indirect
      tailcall.
      
      There is a plan to use %rax for different purpose, which is storing the
      tail call counter. In order to preserve this value across the tailcalls,
      adjust the BPF indirect tailcalls so that the target program will reside
      in %rcx and teach the retpoline instructions about new location of jump
      target.

      selftests/bpf: Merge most of test_btf into test_progs · c64779e2
      Andrii Nakryiko authored
      Merge 183 tests from test_btf into test_progs framework to be exercised
      regularly. All the test_btf tests that were moved are modeled as proper
      sub-tests in test_progs framework for ease of debugging and reporting.
      
      No functional or behavioral changes were intended, I tried to preserve
      original behavior as much as possible. E.g., `test_progs -v` will activate
      "always_log" flag to emit BTF validation log.
      
      The only difference is in reducing the max_entries limit for pretty-printing
      tests from (128 * 1024) to just 128 to reduce tests running time without
      reducing the coverage.
      
      Example test run:
      
        $ sudo ./test_progs -n 8
        ...
        #8 btf:OK
        Summary: 1/183 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED

      Merge branch 'bpf_metadata' · ffa915f4
      Alexei Starovoitov authored
      Stanislav Fomichev says:
      
      ====================
      Currently, if a user wants to store arbitrary metadata for an eBPF
      program, for example, the program build commit hash or version, they
      could store it in a map, and conveniently libbpf uses .data section to
      populate an internal map. However, if the program does not actually
      reference the map, then the map would be de-refcounted and freed.
      
      This patch set introduces a new syscall BPF_PROG_BIND_MAP to add a map
      to a program's used_maps, even if the program instructions does not
      reference the map.
      
      libbpf is extended to always BPF_PROG_BIND_MAP .rodata section so the
      metadata is kept in place.
      bpftool is also extended to print metadata in the 'bpftool prog' list.
      
      The variable is considered metadata if it starts with the
      magic 'bpf_metadata_' prefix; everything after the prefix is the
      metadata name.
      
      An example use of this would be BPF C file declaring:
      
        volatile const char bpf_metadata_commit_hash[] SEC(".rodata") = "abcdef123456";
      
      and bpftool would emit:
      
        $ bpftool prog
        [...]
              metadata:
                      commit_hash = "abcdef123456"
      
      v6 changes:
      * libbpf: drop FEAT_GLOBAL_DATA from probe_prog_bind_map (Andrii Nakryiko)
      * bpftool: combine find_metadata_map_id & find_metadata;
        drops extra bpf_map_get_fd_by_id and bpf_map_get_fd_by_id (Andrii Nakryiko)
      * bpftool: use strncmp instead of strstr (Andrii Nakryiko)
      * bpftool: memset(map_info) and extra empty line (Andrii Nakryiko)
      
      v5 changes:
      * selftest: verify that prog holds rodata (Andrii Nakryiko)
      * selftest: use volatile for metadata (Andrii Nakryiko)
      * bpftool: use sizeof in BPF_METADATA_PREFIX_LEN (Andrii Nakryiko)
      * bpftool: new find_metadata that does map lookup (Andrii Nakryiko)
      * libbpf: don't generalize probe_create_global_data (Andrii Nakryiko)
      * libbpf: use OPTS_VALID in bpf_prog_bind_map (Andrii Nakryiko)
      * libbpf: keep LIBBPF_0.2.0 sorted (Andrii Nakryiko)
      
      v4 changes:
      * Don't return EEXIST from syscall if already bound (Andrii Nakryiko)
      * Removed --metadata argument (Andrii Nakryiko)
      * Removed custom .metadata section (Alexei Starovoitov)
      * Addressed Andrii's suggestions about btf helpers and vsi (Andrii Nakryiko)
      * Moved bpf_prog_find_metadata into bpftool (Alexei Starovoitov)
      
      v3 changes:
      * API changes for bpf_prog_find_metadata (Toke Høiland-Jørgensen)
      
      v2 changes:
      * Made struct bpf_prog_bind_opts in libbpf so flags is optional.
      * Deduped probe_kern_global_data and probe_prog_bind_map into a common
        helper.
      * Added comment regarding why EEXIST is ignored in libbpf bind map.
      * Froze all LIBBPF_MAP_METADATA internal maps.
      * Moved bpf_prog_bind_map into new LIBBPF_0.1.1 in libbpf.map.
      * Added p_err() calls on error cases in bpftool show_prog_metadata.
      * Reverse christmas tree coding style in bpftool show_prog_metadata.
      * Made bpftool gen skeleton recognize .metadata as an internal map and
        generate datasec definition in skeleton.
      * Added C test using skeleton to see asset that the metadata is what we
        expect and rebinding causes EEXIST.
      
      v1 changes:
      * Fixed a few missing unlocks, and missing close while iterating map fds.
      * Move mutex initialization to right after prog aux allocation, and mutex
        destroy to right after prog aux free.
      * s/ADD_MAP/BIND_MAP/
      * Use mutex only instead of RCU to protect the used_map array & count.

      bpftool: Support dumping metadata · aff52e68
      YiFei Zhu authored
      Dump metadata in the 'bpftool prog' list if it's present.
      For some formatting some BTF code is put directly in the
      metadata dumping. Sanity checks on the map and the kind of the btf_type
      to make sure we are actually dumping what we are expecting.
      
      A helper jsonw_reset is added to json writer so we can reuse the same
      json writer without having extraneous commas.
      
      Sample output:
      
        $ bpftool prog
        6: cgroup_skb  name prog  tag bcf7977d3b93787c  gpl
        [...]
        	btf_id 4
        	metadata:
        		a = "foo"
        		b = 1
      
        $ bpftool prog --json --pretty
        [{
                "id": 6,
        [...]
                "btf_id": 4,

      To support modifying the used_maps array, we use a mutex to protect

      after the prog aux is allocated, and destroyed right before prog
      aux is freed. This way we guarantee it's initialized for both cBPF

      In a more recent distro kernel, <linux/ethtool.h> includes <linux/kernel.h>
      which contains the macro definition for "container_of". So compilation is all fine.
      But in ubuntu 16.04 kernel, <linux/ethtool.h> does not contain <linux/kernel.h>
      which caused the above compilation error.
      
      Let explicitly add <linux/kernel.h> in xsk.c to avoid compilation error
      in old distro's.

      samples/bpf: Fix possible deadlock in xdpsock · 5a2a0dd8
      Magnus Karlsson authored
      Fix a possible deadlock in the l2fwd application in xdpsock that can
      occur when there is no space in the Tx ring. There are two ways to get
      the kernel to consume entries in the Tx ring: calling sendto() to make
      it send packets and freeing entries from the completion ring, as the
      kernel will not send a packet if there is no space for it to add a
      completion entry in the completion ring. The Tx loop in l2fwd only
      used to call sendto(). This patches adds cleaning the completion ring
      in that loop.

      samples/bpf: Fix one packet sending in xdpsock · 3131cf66
      Magnus Karlsson authored
      Fix the sending of a single packet (or small burst) in xdpsock when
      executing in copy mode. Currently, the l2fwd application in xdpsock
      only transmits the packets after a batch of them has been received,
      which might be confusing if you only send one packet and expect that
      it is returned pronto. Fix this by calling sendto() more often and add
      a comment in the code that states that this can be optimized if
      needed.

      s390/bpf: Fix multiple tail calls · d72714c1
      Ilya Leoshkevich authored
      In order to branch around tail calls (due to out-of-bounds index,
      exceeding tail call count or missing tail call target), JIT uses
      label[0] field, which contains the address of the instruction following
      the tail call. When there are multiple tail calls, label[0] value comes
      from handling of a previous tail call, which is incorrect.
      
      Fix by getting rid of label array and resolving the label address
      locally: for all 3 branches that jump to it, emit 0 offsets at the
      beginning, and then backpatch them with the correct value.
      
      Also, do not use the long jump infrastructure: the tail call sequence
      is known to be short, so make all 3 jumps short.

      perf: Stop using deprecated bpf_program__title() · 8081ede1
      Andrii Nakryiko authored
      Switch from deprecated bpf_program__title() API to
      bpf_program__section_name(). Also drop unnecessary error checks because
      neither bpf_program__title() nor bpf_program__section_name() can fail or
      return NULL.

      selftests/bpf: Fix test_sysctl_loop{1, 2} failure due to clang change · 7fb5eefd
      Yonghong Song authored
      Andrii reported that with latest clang, when building selftests, we have
      error likes:
        error: progs/test_sysctl_loop1.c:23:16: in function sysctl_tcp_mem i32 (%struct.bpf_sysctl*):
        Looks like the BPF stack limit of 512 bytes is exceeded.
        Please move large on stack variables into BPF per-cpu array map.
      
      The error is triggered by the following LLVM patch:
        https://reviews.llvm.org/D87134
      
      For example, the following code is from test_sysctl_loop1.c:
        static __always_inline int is_tcp_mem(struct bpf_sysctl *ctx)
        {
          volatile char tcp_mem_name[] = "net/ipv4/tcp_mem/very_very_very_very_long_pointless_string";
          ...
        }
      Without the above LLVM patch, the compiler did optimization to load the string
      (59 bytes long) with 7 64bit loads, 1 8bit load and 1 16bit load,
      occupying 64 byte stack size.
      
      With the above LLVM patch, the compiler only uses 8bit loads, but subregister is 32bit.
      So stack requirements become 4 * 59 = 236 bytes. Together with other stuff on
      the stack, total stack size exceeds 512 bytes, hence compiler complains and quits.
      
      To fix the issue, removing "volatile" key word or changing "volatile" to
      "const"/"static const" does not work, the string is put in .rodata.str1.1 section,
      which libbpf did not process it and errors out with
        libbpf: elf: skipping unrecognized data section(6) .rodata.str1.1
        libbpf: prog 'sysctl_tcp_mem': bad map relo against '.L__const.is_tcp_mem.tcp_mem_name'
                in section '.rodata.str1.1'
      
      Defining the string const as global variable can fix the issue as it puts the string constant
      in '.rodata' section which is recognized by libbpf. In the future, when libbpf can process
      '.rodata.str*.*' properly, the global definition can be changed back to local definition.
      
      Defining tcp_mem_name as a global, however, triggered a verifier failure.
         ./test_progs -n 7/21
        libbpf: load bpf program failed: Permission denied
        libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG ---
        libbpf:
        invalid stack off=0 size=1
        verification time 6975 usec
        stack depth 160+64
        processed 889 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 4 total_states

        libbpf: -- END LOG --
        libbpf: failed to load program 'sysctl_tcp_mem'
        libbpf: failed to load object 'test_sysctl_loop2.o'
        test_bpf_verif_scale:FAIL:114
        #7/21 test_sysctl_loop2.o:FAIL
      This actually exposed a bpf program bug. In test_sysctl_loop{1,2}, we have code
      like
        const char tcp_mem_name[] = "<...long string...>";
        ...
        char name[64];
        ...
        for (i = 0; i < sizeof(tcp_mem_name); ++i)
            if (name[i] != tcp_mem_name[i])
                return 0;
      In the above code, if sizeof(tcp_mem_name) > 64, name[i] access may be
      out of bound. The sizeof(tcp_mem_name) is 59 for test_sysctl_loop1.c and
      79 for test_sysctl_loop2.c.
      
      Without promotion-to-global change, old compiler generates code where
      the overflowed stack access is actually filled with valid value, so hiding
      the bpf program bug. With promotion-to-global change, the code is different,
      more specifically, the previous loading constants to stack is gone, and
      "name" occupies stack[-64:0] and overflow access triggers a verifier error.
      To fix the issue, adjust "name" buffer size properly.
