      net: filter: rework/optimize internal BPF interpreter's instruction set · bd4cf0ed
      Alexei Starovoitov 提交于
      This patch replaces/reworks the kernel-internal BPF interpreter with
      an optimized BPF instruction set format that is modelled closer to
      mimic native instruction sets and is designed to be JITed with one to
      one mapping. Thus, the new interpreter is noticeably faster than the
      current implementation of sk_run_filter(); mainly for two reasons:
      
      1. Fall-through jumps:
      
        BPF jump instructions are forced to go either 'true' or 'false'
        branch which causes branch-miss penalty. The new BPF jump
        instructions have only one branch and fall-through otherwise,
        which fits the CPU branch predictor logic better. `perf stat`
        shows drastic difference for branch-misses between the old and
        new code.
      
      2. Jump-threaded implementation of interpreter vs switch
         statement:
      
        Instead of single table-jump at the top of 'switch' statement,
        gcc will now generate multiple table-jump instructions, which
        helps CPU branch predictor logic.
      
      Note that the verification of filters is still being done through
      sk_chk_filter() in classical BPF format, so filters from user- or
      kernel space are verified in the same way as we do now, and same
      restrictions/constraints hold as well.
      
      We reuse current BPF JIT compilers in a way that this upgrade would
      even be fine as is, but nevertheless allows for a successive upgrade
      of BPF JIT compilers to the new format.
      
      The internal instruction set migration is being done after the
      probing for JIT compilation, so in case JIT compilers are able to
      create a native opcode image, we're going to use that, and in all
      other cases we're doing a follow-up migration of the BPF program's
      instruction set, so that it can be transparently run in the new
      interpreter.
      
      In short, the *internal* format extends BPF in the following way (more
      details can be taken from the appended documentation):
      
        - Number of registers increase from 2 to 10
        - Register width increases from 32-bit to 64-bit
        - Conditional jt/jf targets replaced with jt/fall-through
        - Adds signed > and >= insns
        - 16 4-byte stack slots for register spill-fill replaced
          with up to 512 bytes of multi-use stack space
        - Introduction of bpf_call insn and register passing convention
          for zero overhead calls from/to other kernel functions
        - Adds arithmetic right shift and endianness conversion insns
        - Adds atomic_add insn
        - Old tax/txa insns are replaced with 'mov dst,src' insn
      
      Performance of two BPF filters generated by libpcap resp. bpf_asm
      was measured on x86_64, i386 and arm32 (other libpcap programs
      have similar performance differences):
      
      fprog #1 is taken from Documentation/networking/filter.txt:
      tcpdump -i eth0 port 22 -dd
      
      fprog #2 is taken from 'man tcpdump':
      tcpdump -i eth0 'tcp port 22 and (((ip[2:2] - ((ip[0]&0xf)<<2)) -
         ((tcp[12]&0xf0)>>2)) != 0)' -dd
      
      Raw performance data from BPF micro-benchmark: SK_RUN_FILTER on the
      same SKB (cache-hit) or 10k SKBs (cache-miss); time in ns per call,
      smaller is better:

               fprog #1  fprog #1   fprog #2  fprog #2

      old BPF jit  26       182         37       202
      new BPF jit TBD
      
      Thus, without changing any userland BPF filters, applications on
      top of AF_PACKET (or other families) such as libpcap/tcpdump, cls_bpf
      classifier, netfilter's xt_bpf, team driver's load-balancing mode,
      and many more will have better interpreter filtering performance.
      
      While we are replacing the internal BPF interpreter, we also need
      to convert seccomp BPF in the same step to make use of the new
      internal structure since it makes use of lower-level API details
      without being further decoupled through higher-level calls like
      sk_unattached_filter_{create,destroy}(), for example.
      
      Just as for normal socket filtering, also seccomp BPF experiences
      a time-to-verdict speedup:
      
      05-sim-long_jumps.c of libseccomp was used as micro-benchmark:
      
        seccomp_rule_add_exact(ctx,...
        seccomp_rule_add_exact(ctx,...
      
        rc = seccomp_load(ctx);
      
        for (i = 0; i < 10000000; i++)
           syscall(199, 100);
      
      'short filter' has 2 rules
      'large filter' has 200 rules
      
      'short filter' performance is slightly better on x86_64/i386/arm32
      'large filter' is much faster on x86_64 and i386 and shows no
                     difference on arm32

      BPF filters generated by seccomp are very branchy, so the new
      internal BPF performance is better than the old one. Performance
      gains will be even higher when BPF JIT is committed for the
      new structure, which is planned in future work (as successive
      JIT migrations).
      
      BPF has also been stress-tested with trinity's BPF fuzzer.

      ptrace,seccomp: Add PTRACE_SECCOMP support · fb0fadf9
      Will Drewry 提交于
      This change adds support for a new ptrace option, PTRACE_O_TRACESECCOMP,
      and a new return value for seccomp BPF programs, SECCOMP_RET_TRACE.
      
      When a tracer specifies the PTRACE_O_TRACESECCOMP ptrace option, the
      tracer will be notified, via PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP, for any syscall that
      results in a BPF program returning SECCOMP_RET_TRACE.  The 16-bit
      SECCOMP_RET_DATA mask of the BPF program return value will be passed as
      the ptrace_message and may be retrieved using PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG.
      
      If the subordinate process is not using seccomp filter, then no
      system call notifications will occur even if the option is specified.
      
      If there is no tracer with PTRACE_O_TRACESECCOMP when SECCOMP_RET_TRACE
      is returned, the system call will not be executed and an -ENOSYS errno
      will be returned to userspace.
      
      This change adds a dependency on the system call slow path.  Any future
      efforts to use the system call fast path for seccomp filter will need to
      address this restriction.

      seccomp: add SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO · acf3b2c7
      Will Drewry 提交于
      This change adds the SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO as a valid return value from a
      seccomp filter.  Additionally, it makes the first use of the lower
      16-bits for storing a filter-supplied errno.  16-bits is more than
      enough for the errno-base.h calls.
      
      Returning errors instead of immediately terminating processes that
      violate seccomp policy allow for broader use of this functionality
      for kernel attack surface reduction.  For example, a linux container
      could maintain a whitelist of pre-existing system calls but drop
      all new ones with errnos.  This would keep a logically static attack
      surface while providing errnos that may allow for graceful failure
      without the downside of do_exit() on a bad call.
      
      This change also changes the signature of __secure_computing.  It
      appears the only direct caller is the arm entry code and it clobbers
      any possible return value (register) immediately.

      seccomp: add system call filtering using BPF · e2cfabdf
      Will Drewry 提交于
      [This patch depends on luto@mit.edu's no_new_privs patch:
         https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/30/264
       The whole series including Andrew's patches can be found here:
         https://github.com/redpig/linux/tree/seccomp
       Complete diff here:
         https://github.com/redpig/linux/compare/1dc65fed...seccomp
      ]
      
      This patch adds support for seccomp mode 2.  Mode 2 introduces the
      ability for unprivileged processes to install system call filtering
      policy expressed in terms of a Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) program.
      This program will be evaluated in the kernel for each system call
      the task makes and computes a result based on data in the format
      of struct seccomp_data.
      
      A filter program may be installed by calling:
        struct sock_fprog fprog = { ... };
        ...
        prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER, &fprog);
      
      The return value of the filter program determines if the system call is
      allowed to proceed or denied.  If the first filter program installed
      allows prctl(2) calls, then the above call may be made repeatedly
      by a task to further reduce its access to the kernel.  All attached
      programs must be evaluated before a system call will be allowed to
      proceed.
      
      Filter programs will be inherited across fork/clone and execve.
      However, if the task attaching the filter is unprivileged
      (!CAP_SYS_ADMIN) the no_new_privs bit will be set on the task.  This
      ensures that unprivileged tasks cannot attach filters that affect
      privileged tasks (e.g., setuid binary).
      
      There are a number of benefits to this approach. A few of which are
      as follows:
      - BPF has been exposed to userland for a long time
      - BPF optimization (and JIT'ing) are well understood
      - Userland already knows its ABI: system call numbers and desired
        arguments
      - No time-of-check-time-of-use vulnerable data accesses are possible.
      - system call arguments are loaded on access only to minimize copying
        required for system call policy decisions.
      
      Mode 2 support is restricted to architectures that enable
      HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER.  In this patch, the primary dependency is on
      syscall_get_arguments().  The full desired scope of this feature will
      add a few minor additional requirements expressed later in this series.
      Based on discussion, SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO and SECCOMP_RET_TRACE seem to be
      the desired additional functionality.

      x86-64: Emulate legacy vsyscalls · 5cec93c2
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      There's a fair amount of code in the vsyscall page.  It contains
      a syscall instruction (in the gettimeofday fallback) and who
      knows what will happen if an exploit jumps into the middle of
      some other code.
      
      Reduce the risk by replacing the vsyscalls with short magic
      incantations that cause the kernel to emulate the real
      vsyscalls. These incantations are useless if entered in the
      middle.
      
      This causes vsyscalls to be a little more expensive than real
      syscalls.  Fortunately sensible programs don't use them.
      The only exception is time() which is still called by glibc
      through the vsyscall - but calling time() millions of times
      per second is not sensible. glibc has this fixed in the
      development tree.
      
      This patch is not perfect: the vread_tsc and vread_hpet
      functions are still at a fixed address.  Fixing that might
      involve making alternative patching work in the vDSO.

      [PATCH] seccomp: tsc disable · ffaa8bd6
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      I believe at least for seccomp it's worth to turn off the tsc, not just for
      HT but for the L2 cache too.  So it's up to you, either you turn it off
      completely (which isn't very nice IMHO) or I recommend to apply this below
      patch.
      
      This has been tested successfully on x86-64 against current cogito
      repository (i686 compiles so I didn't bother testing ;).  People selling
      the cpu through cpushare may appreciate this bit for a peace of mind.
      
      There's no way to get any timing info anymore with this applied
      (gettimeofday is forbidden of course).  The seccomp environment is
      completely deterministic so it can't be allowed to get timing info, it has
      to be deterministic so in the future I can enable a computing mode that
      does a parallel computing for each task with server side transparent
      checkpointing and verification that the output is the same from all the 2/3
      seller computers for each task, without the buyer even noticing (for now
      the verification is left to the buyer client side and there's no
      checkpointing, since that would require more kernel changes to track the
      dirty bits but it'll be easy to extend once the basic mode is finished).
      
      Eliminating a cold-cache read of the cr4 global variable will save one
      cacheline during the tlb flush while making the code per-cpu-safe at the
      same time.  Thanks to Mikael Pettersson for noticing the tlb flush wasn't
      per-cpu-safe.
      
      The global tlb flush can run from irq (IPI calling do_flush_tlb_all) but
      it'll be transparent to the switch_to code since the IPI won't make any
      change to the cr4 contents from the point of view of the interrupted code
      and since it's now all per-cpu stuff, it will not race.  So no need to
      disable irqs in switch_to slow path.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
