The JIT compiler emits ia32 bit instructions. Currently, It supports eBPF
only. Classic BPF is supported because of the conversion by BPF core.

Almost all instructions from eBPF ISA supported except the following:
BPF_ALU64 | BPF_DIV | BPF_K
BPF_ALU64 | BPF_DIV | BPF_X
BPF_ALU64 | BPF_MOD | BPF_K
BPF_ALU64 | BPF_MOD | BPF_X
BPF_STX | BPF_XADD | BPF_W
BPF_STX | BPF_XADD | BPF_DW

It doesn't support BPF_JMP|BPF_CALL with BPF_PSEUDO_CALL at the moment.

IA32 has few general purpose registers, EAX|EDX|ECX|EBX|ESI|EDI. I use
EAX|EDX|ECX|EBX as temporary registers to simulate instructions in eBPF
ISA, and allocate ESI|EDI to BPF_REG_AX for constant blinding, all others
eBPF registers, R0-R10, are simulated through scratch space on stack.

The reasons behind the hardware registers allocation policy are:
1:MUL need EAX:EDX, shift operation need ECX, so they aren't fit
  for general eBPF 64bit register simulation.
2:We need at least 4 registers to simulate most eBPF ISA operations
  on registers operands instead of on register&memory operands.
3:We need to put BPF_REG_AX on hardware registers, or constant blinding
  will degrade jit performance heavily.

Tested on PC (Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU).
Testing results on i5-5200U:
1) test_bpf: Summary: 349 PASSED, 0 FAILED, [319/341 JIT'ed]
2) test_progs: Summary: 83 PASSED, 0 FAILED.
3) test_lpm: OK
4) test_lru_map: OK
5) test_verifier: Summary: 828 PASSED, 0 FAILED.

Above tests are all done in following two conditions separately:
1:bpf_jit_enable=1 and bpf_jit_harden=0
2:bpf_jit_enable=1 and bpf_jit_harden=2

Below are some numbers for this jit implementation:
Note:
  I run test_progs in kselftest 100 times continuously for every condition,
  the numbers are in format: total/times=avg.
  The numbers that test_bpf reports show almost the same relation.

The Python script used to parse and extract eBPF helpers documentation
from include/uapi/linux/bpf.h expects a very specific formatting for the
descriptions (single dot represents a space, '>' stands for a tab):

    /*
     ...
     *.int bpf_helper(list of arguments)
     *.>    Description
     *.>    >       Start of description
     *.>    >       Another line of description
     *.>    >       And yet another line of description
     *.>    Return
     *.>    >       0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure
     ...
     */

This is too strict, and painful for developers who wants to add
documentation for new helpers. Worse, it is extremely difficult to check
that the formatting is correct during reviews. Change the format
expected by the script and make it more flexible. The script now works
whether or not the initial space (right after the star) is present, and
accepts both tabs and white spaces (or a combination of both) for
indenting description sections and contents.

Concretely, something like the following would now be supported:

    /*
     ...
     *int bpf_helper(list of arguments)
     *......Description
     *.>    >       Start of description...
     *>     >       Another line of description
     *..............And yet another line of description
     *>     Return
     *.>    ........0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure
     ...
     */

While at it, remove unnecessary carets from each regex used with match()
in the script. They are redundant, as match() tries to match from the
beginning of the string by default.

So by chance I looked into x86 assembly in arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c and
noticed the weird and inconsistent comment style it mistakenly learned from
the networking code:

 /* Multi-line comment ...
  * ... looks like this.
  */

Fix this to use the standard comment style specified in Documentation/CodingStyle
and used in arch/x86/ as well:

 /*
  * Multi-line comment ...

Also improve the comments and some other details while at it:

 - Don't mix same-line and previous-line comment style on otherwise
   identical code patterns within the same function,

 - capitalize 'BPF' and x86 register names consistently,

 - capitalize sentences consistently,

 - instead of 'x64' use 'x86-64': x64 is a Microsoft specific term,

 - use more consistent punctuation,

 - use standard coding style in macros as well,

 - fix typos and a few other minor details.

Consistent coding style is not optional, at least in arch/x86/.

No change in functionality.

To make eBPF program load time easier to parse from "bpftool prog"
output for machines, change the time format used by the program. The
format now differs for plain and JSON version:

- Plain version uses a string formatted according to ISO 8601.
- JSON uses the number of seconds since the Epoch, wich is less friendly
  for humans but even easier to process.

Example output:

    # ./bpftool prog

    # ./bpftool prog -p

tracepoints to bpf core were added as a way to provide introspection
to bpf programs and maps, but after some time it became clear that
this approach is inadequate, so prog_id, map_id and corresponding
get_next_id, get_fd_by_id, get_info_by_fd, prog_query APIs were
introduced and fully adopted by bpftool and other applications.
The tracepoints in bpf core started to rot and causing syzbot warnings:

Commit d5a00528 ("syscalls/core, syscalls/x86: Rename

of syscall function sys_*() to __x64_sys_*().
This caused several kprobe based samples/bpf tests failing.

This patch fixed the problem in bpf_load.c.
For x86_64 architecture, function name __x64_sys_*() will be
first used for kprobe event creation. If the creation is successful,
it will be used. Otherwise, function name sys_*() will be used
for kprobe event creation.

====================
Currently, stackmap and bpf_get_stackid helper are provided
for bpf program to get the stack trace. This approach has
a limitation though. If two stack traces have the same hash,
only one will get stored in the stackmap table regardless of
whether BPF_F_REUSE_STACKID is specified or not,
so some stack traces may be missing from user perspective.

This patch implements a new helper, bpf_get_stack, will
send stack traces directly to bpf program. The bpf program
is able to see all stack traces, and then can do in-kernel
processing or send stack traces to user space through
shared map or bpf_perf_event_output.

Patches #1 and #2 implemented the core kernel support.
Patch #3 removes two never-hit branches in verifier.
Patches #4 and #5 are two verifier improves to make
bpf programming easier. Patch #6 synced the new helper
to tools headers. Patch #7 moved perf_event polling code
and ksym lookup code from samples/bpf to
tools/testing/selftests/bpf. Patch #8 added a verifier
test in tools/bpf for new verifier change.
Patches #9 and #10 added tests for raw tracepoint prog
and tracepoint prog respectively.

Changelogs:
  v8 -> v9:
    . make function perf_event_mmap (in trace_helpers.c) extern
      to decouple perf_event_mmap and perf_event_poller.
    . add jit enabled handling for kernel stack verification
      in Patch #9. Since we did not have a good way to
      verify jit enabled kernel stack, just return true if
      the kernel stack is not empty.
    . In path #9, using raw_syscalls/sys_enter instead of
      sched/sched_switch, removed calling cmd
      "task 1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null" which is left
      with dangling process after the program exited.
  v7 -> v8:
    . rebase on top of latest bpf-next
    . simplify BPF_ARSH dst_reg->smin_val/smax_value tracking
    . rewrite the description of bpf_get_stack() in uapi bpf.h
      based on new format.
  v6 -> v7:
    . do perf callchain buffer allocation inside the
      verifier. so if the prog->has_callchain_buf is set,
      it is guaranteed that the buffer has been allocated.
    . change condition "trace_nr <= skip" to "trace_nr < skip"
      so that for zero size buffer, return 0 instead of -EFAULT
  v5 -> v6:
    . after refining return register smax_value and umax_value
      for helpers bpf_get_stack and bpf_probe_read_str,
      bounds and var_off of the return register are further refined.
    . added missing commit message for tools header sync commit.
    . removed one unnecessary empty line.
  v4 -> v5:
    . relied on dst_reg->var_off to refine umin_val/umax_val
      in verifier handling BPF_ARSH value range tracking,
      suggested by Edward.
  v3 -> v4:

    . avoided using VLA in tools/bpf test_progs.
  v2 -> v3:

The test attached a raw_tracepoint program to raw_syscalls/sys_enter.
It tested to get stack for user space, kernel space and user
space with build_id request. It also tested to get user
and kernel stack into the same buffer with back-to-back
bpf_get_stack helper calls.

If jit is not enabled, the user space application will check
to ensure that the kernel function for raw_tracepoint
___bpf_prog_run is part of the stack.

If jit is enabled, we did not have a reliable way to
verify the kernel stack, so just assume the kernel stack
is good when the kernel stack size is greater than 0.

When helpers like bpf_get_stack returns an int value
and later on used for arithmetic computation, the LSH and ARSH
operations are often required to get proper sign extension into
64-bit. For example, without this patch:
    54: R0=inv(id=0,umax_value=800)
    54: (bf) r8 = r0
    55: R0=inv(id=0,umax_value=800) R8_w=inv(id=0,umax_value=800)
    55: (67) r8 <<= 32
    56: R8_w=inv(id=0,umax_value=3435973836800,var_off=(0x0; 0x3ff00000000))
    56: (c7) r8 s>>= 32
    57: R8=inv(id=0)
With this patch:
    54: R0=inv(id=0,umax_value=800)
    54: (bf) r8 = r0
    55: R0=inv(id=0,umax_value=800) R8_w=inv(id=0,umax_value=800)
    55: (67) r8 <<= 32
    56: R8_w=inv(id=0,umax_value=3435973836800,var_off=(0x0; 0x3ff00000000))
    56: (c7) r8 s>>= 32
    57: R8=inv(id=0, umax_value=800,var_off=(0x0; 0x3ff))
With better range of "R8", later on when "R8" is added to other register,
e.g., a map pointer or scalar-value register, the better register
range can be derived and verifier failure may be avoided.

In our later example,
    ......
    usize = bpf_get_stack(ctx, raw_data, max_len, BPF_F_USER_STACK);
    if (usize < 0)
        return 0;
    ksize = bpf_get_stack(ctx, raw_data + usize, max_len - usize, 0);
    ......
Without improving ARSH value range tracking, the register representing
"max_len - usize" will have smin_value equal to S64_MIN and will be
rejected by verifier.

the branch in handling BPF_LSH/BPF_RSH when src_known is false.

The special property of return values for helpers bpf_get_stack
and bpf_probe_read_str are captured in verifier.
Both helpers return a negative error code or
a length, which is equal to or smaller than the buffer
size argument. This additional information in the
verifier can avoid the condition such as "retval > bufsize"
in the bpf program. For example, for the code blow,
    usize = bpf_get_stack(ctx, raw_data, max_len, BPF_F_USER_STACK);
    if (usize < 0 || usize > max_len)
        return 0;
The verifier may have the following errors:

    math between map_value pointer and register with unbounded

The failure is due to llvm compiler optimization where register "r2",
which is a copy of "r1", is tested for condition while later on "r1"
is used for map_ptr operation. The verifier is not able to track such
inst sequence effectively.

Without the "usize > max_len" condition, there is no llvm optimization
and the below generated code passed verifier:

Currently, stackmap and bpf_get_stackid helper are provided
for bpf program to get the stack trace. This approach has
a limitation though. If two stack traces have the same hash,
only one will get stored in the stackmap table,
so some stack traces are missing from user perspective.

This patch implements a new helper, bpf_get_stack, will
send stack traces directly to bpf program. The bpf program
is able to see all stack traces, and then can do in-kernel
processing or send stack traces to user space through
shared map or bpf_perf_event_output.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2018-04-27

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Add extensive BPF helper description into include/uapi/linux/bpf.h
   and a new script bpf_helpers_doc.py which allows for generating a
   man page out of it. Thus, every helper in BPF now comes with proper
   function signature, detailed description and return code explanation,
   from Quentin.

2) Migrate the BPF collect metadata tunnel tests from BPF samples over
   to the BPF selftests and further extend them with v6 vxlan, geneve
   and ipip tests, simplify the ipip tests, improve documentation and
   convert to bpf_ntoh*() / bpf_hton*() api, from William.

3) Currently, helpers that expect ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_{KEY,VALUE} can only
   access stack and packet memory. Extend this to allow such helpers
   to also use map values, which enabled use cases where value from
   a first lookup can be directly used as a key for a second lookup,
   from Paul.

4) Add a new helper bpf_skb_get_xfrm_state() for tc BPF programs in
   order to retrieve XFRM state information containing SPI, peer
   address and reqid values, from Eyal.

5) Various optimizations in nfp driver's BPF JIT in order to turn ADD
   and SUB instructions with negative immediate into the opposite
   operation with a positive immediate such that nfp can better fit
   small immediates into instructions. Savings in instruction count
   up to 4% have been observed, from Jakub.

6) Add the BPF prog's gpl_compatible flag to struct bpf_prog_info
   and add support for dumping this through bpftool, from Jiri.

7) Move the BPF sockmap samples over into BPF selftests instead since
   sockmap was rather a series of tests than sample anyway and this way
   this can be run from automated bots, from John.

8) Follow-up fix for bpf_adjust_tail() helper in order to make it work
   with generic XDP, from Nikita.

9) Some follow-up cleanups to BTF, namely, removing unused defines from
   BTF uapi header and renaming 'name' struct btf_* members into name_off
   to make it more clear they are offsets into string section, from Martin.

10) Remove test_sock_addr from TEST_GEN_PROGS in BPF selftests since
    not run directly but invoked from test_sock_addr.sh, from Yonghong.

11) Remove redundant ret assignment in sample BPF loader, from Wang.

12) Add couple of missing files to BPF selftest's gitignore, from Anders.

There are two trivial merge conflicts while pulling:

  1) Remove samples/sockmap/Makefile since all sockmap tests have been
     moved to selftests.
  2) Add both hunks from tools/testing/selftests/bpf/.gitignore to the
     file since git should ignore all of them.

2 redundant ret assignments removed:

* 'ret = 1' before the logic 'if (data_maps)', and if any errors jump to
  label 'done'. No 'ret = 1' needed before the error jump.

* After the '/* load programs */' part, if everything goes well, then
  the BPF code will be loaded and 'ret' set to 0 by load_and_attach().
  If something goes wrong, 'ret' set to none-O, the redundant 'ret = 0'
  after the for clause will make the error skipped.

  For example, if some BPF code cannot provide supported program types
  in ELF SEC("unknown"), the for clause will not call load_and_attach()
  to load the BPF code. 1 should be returned to callees instead of 0.

Quentin Monnet says:

====================
eBPF helper functions can be called from within eBPF programs to perform
a variety of tasks that would be otherwise hard or impossible to do with
eBPF itself. There is a growing number of such helper functions in the
kernel, but documentation is scarce. The main user space header file
does contain a short commented description of most helpers, but it is
somewhat outdated and not complete. It is more a "cheat sheet" than a
real documentation accessible to new eBPF developers.

This commit attempts to improve the situation by replacing the existing
overview for the helpers with a more developed description. Furthermore,
a Python script is added to generate a manual page for eBPF helpers. The
workflow is the following, and requires the rst2man utility:

    $ ./scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py \
            --filename include/uapi/linux/bpf.h > /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst
    $ rst2man /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst > /tmp/bpf-helpers.7
    $ man /tmp/bpf-helpers.7

The objective is to keep all documentation related to the helpers in a
single place, and to be able to generate from here a manual page that
could be packaged in the man-pages repository and shipped with most
distributions.

Additionally, parsing the prototypes of the helper functions could
hopefully be reused, with a different Printer object, to generate
header files needed in some eBPF-related projects.

Regarding the description of each helper, it comprises several items:

- The function prototype.
- A description of the function and of its arguments (except for a
  couple of cases, when there are no arguments and the return value
  makes the function usage really obvious).
- A description of return values (if not void).

Additional items such as the list of compatible eBPF program and map
types for each helper, Linux kernel version that introduced the helper,
GPL-only restriction, and commit hash could be added in the future, but
it was decided on the mailing list to leave them aside for now.

For several helpers, descriptions are inspired (at times, nearly copied)
from the commit logs introducing them in the kernel--Many thanks to
their respective authors! Some sentences were also adapted from comments
from the reviews, thanks to the reviewers as well. Descriptions were
completed as much as possible, the objective being to have something easily
accessible even for people just starting with eBPF. There is probably a bit
more work to do in this direction for some helpers.

Some RST formatting is used in the descriptions (not in function
prototypes, to keep them readable, but the Python script provided in
order to generate the RST for the manual page does add formatting to
prototypes, to produce something pretty) to get "bold" and "italics" in
manual pages. Hopefully, the descriptions in bpf.h file remains
perfectly readable. Note that the few trailing white spaces are
intentional, removing them would break paragraphs for rst2man.

The descriptions should ideally be updated each time someone adds a new
helper, or updates the behaviour (new socket option supported, ...) or
the interface (new flags available, ...) of existing ones.

To ease the review process, the documentation has been split into several
patches.

v3 -> v4:
- Add a patch (#9) for newly added BPF helpers.
- Add a patch (#10) to update UAPI bpf.h version under tools/.
- Use SPDX tag in Python script.
- Several fixes on man page header and footer, and helpers documentation.
  Please refer to individual patches for details.

RFC v2 -> PATCH v3:
Several fixes on man page header and footer, and helpers documentation.
Please refer to individual patches for details.

RFC v1 -> RFC v2:
- Remove "For" (compatible program and map types), "Since" (minimal
  Linux kernel version required), "GPL only" sections and commit hashes
  for the helpers.
- Add comment on top of the description list to explain how this
  documentation is supposed to be processed.
- Update Python script accordingly (remove the same sections, and remove
  paragraphs on program types and GPL restrictions from man page
  header).
- Split series into several patches.

that can later be converted into a man page.

The objective is to make the documentation easily understandable and
accessible to all eBPF developers, including beginners.

This patch contains descriptions for the following helper functions, all
written by Alexei:

- bpf_map_lookup_elem()
- bpf_map_update_elem()
- bpf_map_delete_elem()
- bpf_probe_read()
- bpf_ktime_get_ns()
- bpf_trace_printk()
- bpf_skb_store_bytes()
- bpf_l3_csum_replace()
- bpf_l4_csum_replace()
- bpf_tail_call()
- bpf_clone_redirect()

v4:
- bpf_map_lookup_elem(): Add "const" qualifier for key.
- bpf_map_update_elem(): Add "const" qualifier for key and value.
- bpf_map_lookup_elem(): Add "const" qualifier for key.
- bpf_skb_store_bytes(): Clarify comment about invalidated verifier
  checks.
- bpf_l3_csum_replace(): Mention L3 instead of just IP, and add a note
  about bpf_csum_diff().
- bpf_l4_csum_replace(): Mention L4 instead of just TCP/UDP, and add a
  note about bpf_csum_diff().
- bpf_tail_call(): Bring minor edits to description.
- bpf_clone_redirect(): Add a note about the relation with
  bpf_redirect(). Also clarify comment about invalidated verifier
  checks.

v3:
- bpf_map_lookup_elem(): Fix description of restrictions for flags
  related to the existence of the entry.
- bpf_trace_printk(): State that trace_pipe can be configured. Fix
  return value in case an unknown format specifier is met. Add a note on
  kernel log notice when the helper is used. Edit example.
- bpf_tail_call(): Improve comment on stack inheritance.
- bpf_clone_redirect(): Improve description of BPF_F_INGRESS flag.

Remove previous "overview" of eBPF helpers from user bpf.h header.
Replace it by a comment explaining how to process the new documentation
(to come in following patches) with a Python script to produce RST, then
man page documentation.

Also add the aforementioned Python script under scripts/. It is used to
process include/uapi/linux/bpf.h and to extract helper descriptions, to
turn it into a RST document that can further be processed with rst2man
to produce a man page. The script takes one "--filename <path/to/file>"
option. If the script is launched from scripts/ in the kernel root
directory, it should be able to find the location of the header to
parse, and "--filename <path/to/file>" is then optional. If it cannot
find the file, then the option becomes mandatory. RST-formatted
documentation is printed to standard output.

Typical workflow for producing the final man page would be:

    $ ./scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py \
            --filename include/uapi/linux/bpf.h > /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst
    $ rst2man /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst > /tmp/bpf-helpers.7
    $ man /tmp/bpf-helpers.7

Note that the tool kernel-doc cannot be used to document eBPF helpers,
whose signatures are not available directly in the header files
(pre-processor directives are used to produce them at the beginning of
the compilation process).

v4:
- Also remove overviews for newly added bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() and
  bpf_skb_get_xfrm_state().
- Remove vague statement about what helpers are restricted to GPL
  programs in "LICENSE" section for man page footer.
- Replace license boilerplate with SPDX tag for Python script.

v3:
- Change license for man page.
- Remove "for safety reasons" from man page header text.
- Change "packets metadata" to "packets" in man page header text.
- Move and fix comment on helpers introducing no overhead.
- Remove "NOTES" section from man page footer.
- Add "LICENSE" section to man page footer.
- Edit description of file include/uapi/linux/bpf.h in man page footer.
