pull-request: bpf-next 2018-03-21

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

The main changes are:

1) Add a BPF hook for sendmsg and sendfile by reusing the ULP infrastructure
   and sockmap. Three helpers are added along with this, bpf_msg_apply_bytes(),
   bpf_msg_cork_bytes(), and bpf_msg_pull_data(). The first is used to tell
   for how many bytes the verdict should be applied to, the second to tell
   that x bytes need to be queued first to retrigger the BPF program for a
   verdict, and the third helper is mainly for the sendfile case to pull in
   data for making it private for reading and/or writing, from John.

2) Improve address to symbol resolution of user stack traces in BPF stackmap.
   Currently, the latter stores the address for each entry in the call trace,
   however to map these addresses to user space files, it is necessary to
   maintain the mapping from these virtual addresses to symbols in the binary
   which is not practical for system-wide profiling. Instead, this option for
   the stackmap rather stores the ELF build id and offset for the call trace
   entries, from Song.

3) Add support that allows BPF programs attached to perf events to read the
   address values recorded with the perf events. They are requested through
   PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR via perf_event_open(). Main motivation behind it is to
   support building memory or lock access profiling and tracing tools with
   the help of BPF, from Teng.

4) Several improvements to the tools/bpf/ Makefiles. The 'make bpf' in the
   tools directory does not provide the standard quiet output except for
   bpftool and it also does not respect specifying a build output directory.
   'make bpf_install' command neither respects specified destination nor
   prefix, all from Jiri. In addition, Jakub fixes several other minor issues
   in the Makefiles on top of that, e.g. fixing dependency paths, phony
   targets and more.

5) Various doc updates e.g. add a comment for BPF fs about reserved names
   to make the dentry lookup from there a bit more obvious, and a comment
   to the bpf_devel_QA file in order to explain the diff between native
   and bpf target clang usage with regards to pointer size, from Quentin
   and Daniel.

====================
This series adds a BPF hook for sendmsg and senfile by using
the ULP infrastructure and sockmap. A simple pseudocode example
would be,

  // load the programs
  bpf_prog_load(SOCKMAP_TCP_MSG_PROG, BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG,
                &obj, &msg_prog);

  // lookup the sockmap
  bpf_map_msg = bpf_object__find_map_by_name(obj, "my_sock_map");

  // get fd for sockmap
  map_fd_msg = bpf_map__fd(bpf_map_msg);

  // attach program to sockmap
  bpf_prog_attach(msg_prog, map_fd_msg, BPF_SK_MSG_VERDICT, 0);

  // Add a socket 'fd' to sockmap at location 'i'
  bpf_map_update_elem(map_fd_msg, &i, fd, BPF_ANY);

After the above snippet any socket attached to the map would run
msg_prog on sendmsg and sendfile system calls.

Three additional helpers are added bpf_msg_apply_bytes(),
bpf_msg_cork_bytes(), and bpf_msg_pull_data(). With
bpf_msg_apply_bytes BPF programs can tell the infrastructure how
many bytes the given verdict should apply to. This has two cases.
First, a BPF program applies verdict to fewer bytes than in the
current sendmsg/sendfile msg this will apply the verdict to the
first N bytes of the message then run the BPF program again with
data pointers recalculated to the N+1 byte. The second case is the
BPF program applies a verdict to more bytes than the current sendmsg
or sendfile system call. In this case the infrastructure will cache
the verdict and apply it to future sendmsg/sendfile calls until the
byte limit is reached. This avoids the overhead of running BPF
programs on large payloads.

The helper bpf_msg_cork_bytes() handles a different case where
a BPF program can not reach a verdict on a msg until it receives
more bytes AND the program doesn't want to forward the packet
until it is known to be "good". The example case being a user
(albeit a dumb one probably) sends a N byte header in 1B system
calls. The BPF program can call bpf_msg_cork_bytes with the
required byte limit to reach a verdict and then the program will
only be called again once N bytes are received.

The last helper added in this series is bpf_msg_pull_data(). It
is used to pull data in for modification or reading. Similar to
how sk_pull_data() works msg_pull_data can be used to access data
not in the initial (data_start, data_end) range. For sendpage()
calls this is needed if any data is accessed because the BPF
sendpage hook initializes the data_start and data_end pointers to
zero. We do this because sendpage data is shared with the user
and can be modified during or after the BPF verdict possibly
invalidating any verdict the BPF program decides. For sendmsg
the data is already copied by the sendmsg bpf infrastructure so
we only copy the data if the user request a data range that is
not already linearized. This happens if the user requests larger
blocks of data that are not in a single scatterlist element. The
common case seems to be accessing headers which normally are
in the first scatterlist element and already linearized.

For more examples please review the sample program. There are
examples for all the actions and helpers there.

Patches 1-8 implement the above sockmap/BPF infrastructure. The
remaining patches flush out some minimal selftests and the sample
sockmap program. The sockmap sample program is the main vehicle
for testing this infrastructure and will be moved into selftests
shortly. The final patch in this series is a simple shell script
to run a set of tests. These are the tests I run after any changes
to sockmap. The next task on the list after this series is to
push those into selftests so we can avoid manually testing.

Couple notes on future items in the pipeline,

  0. move sample sockmap programs into selftests (noted above)
  1. add additional support for tcp flags, most are ignored now.
  2. add a Documentation/bpf/sockmap file with these details
  3. support stacked ULP types to allow this and ktls to cooperate
  4. Ingress flag support, redirect only supports egress here. The
     other redirect helpers support ingress and egress flags.
  5. add optimizations, I cut a few optimizations here in the
     first iteration of the code for later study/implementation

-v3 updates
  : u32 data pointers in msg_md changed to void *
  : page_address NULL check and flag verification in msg_pull_data
  : remove old note in commit msg that is no longer relevant
  : remove enum sk_msg_action its not used anywhere
  : fixup test_verifier W -> DW insn to account for data pointers
  : unintentionally dropped a smap_stop_tx() call in sockmap.c

I propagated the ACKs forward because above changes were small
one/two line changes.

-v2 updates (discussion):

Dave noticed that sendpage call was previously (in v1) running
on the data directly. This allowed users to potentially modify
the data after or during the BPF program. However doing a copy
automatically even if the data is not accessed has measurable
performance impact. So we added another helper modeled after
the existing skb_pull_data() helper to allow users to selectively
pull data from the msg. This is also useful in the sendmsg case
when users need to access data outside the first scatterlist
element or across scatterlist boundaries.

While doing this I also unified the sendmsg and sendfile handlers
a bit. Originally the sendfile call was optimized for never
touching the data. I've decided for a first submission to drop
this optimization and we can add it back later. It introduced
unnecessary complexity, at least for a first posting, for a
use case I have not entirely flushed out yet. When the use
case is deployed we can add it back if needed. Then we can
review concrete performance deltas as well on real-world
use-cases/applications.

Lastly, I reorganized the patches a bit. Now all sockmap
changes are in a single patch and each helper gets its own
patch. This, at least IMO, makes it easier to review because
sockmap changes are not spread across the patch series. On
the other hand now apply_bytes, cork_bytes logic is only
activated later in the series. But that should be OK.

      bpf: sockmap test script · ae30727f
      John Fastabend authored 
      This adds the test script I am currently using to validate
the latest sockmap changes. Shortly sockmap will be ported
to selftests and these will be run from the infrastructure
there. Until then add the script here so we have a coverage
checklist when porting into selftests.
