      bpf: Introduce sleepable BPF programs · 1e6c62a8
      由 Alexei Starovoitov 提交于 
      Introduce sleepable BPF programs that can request such property for themselves
via BPF_F_SLEEPABLE flag at program load time. In such case they will be able
to use helpers like bpf_copy_from_user() that might sleep. At present only
fentry/fexit/fmod_ret and lsm programs can request to be sleepable and only
when they are attached to kernel functions that are known to allow sleeping.

The non-sleepable programs are relying on implicit rcu_read_lock() and
migrate_disable() to protect life time of programs, maps that they use and
per-cpu kernel structures used to pass info between bpf programs and the
kernel. The sleepable programs cannot be enclosed into rcu_read_lock().
migrate_disable() maps to preempt_disable() in non-RT kernels, so the progs
should not be enclosed in migrate_disable() as well. Therefore
rcu_read_lock_trace is used to protect the life time of sleepable progs.

There are many networking and tracing program types. In many cases the
'struct bpf_prog *' pointer itself is rcu protected within some other kernel
data structure and the kernel code is using rcu_dereference() to load that
program pointer and call BPF_PROG_RUN() on it. All these cases are not touched.
Instead sleepable bpf programs are allowed with bpf trampoline only. The
program pointers are hard-coded into generated assembly of bpf trampoline and
synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace() is used to protect the life time of the program.
The same trampoline can hold both sleepable and non-sleepable progs.

When rcu_read_lock_trace is held it means that some sleepable bpf program is
running from bpf trampoline. Those programs can use bpf arrays and preallocated
hash/lru maps. These map types are waiting on programs to complete via
synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace();

Updates to trampoline now has to do synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace() and
synchronize_rcu_tasks() to wait for sleepable progs to finish and for
trampoline assembly to finish.

This is the first step of introducing sleepable progs. Eventually dynamically
allocated hash maps can be allowed and networking program types can become
sleepable too.

      bpf: Add map_meta_equal map ops · f4d05259
      由 Martin KaFai Lau 提交于 
      Some properties of the inner map is used in the verification time.
When an inner map is inserted to an outer map at runtime,
bpf_map_meta_equal() is currently used to ensure those properties
of the inserting inner map stays the same as the verification
time.

In particular, the current bpf_map_meta_equal() checks max_entries which
turns out to be too restrictive for most of the maps which do not use
max_entries during the verification time.  It limits the use case that
wants to replace a smaller inner map with a larger inner map.  There are
some maps do use max_entries during verification though.  For example,
the map_gen_lookup in array_map_ops uses the max_entries to generate
the inline lookup code.

To accommodate differences between maps, the map_meta_equal is added
to bpf_map_ops.  Each map-type can decide what to check when its
map is used as an inner map during runtime.

Also, some map types cannot be used as an inner map and they are
currently black listed in bpf_map_meta_alloc() in map_in_map.c.
It is not unusual that the new map types may not aware that such
blacklist exists.  This patch enforces an explicit opt-in
and only allows a map to be used as an inner map if it has
implemented the map_meta_equal ops.  It is based on the
discussion in [1].

All maps that support inner map has its map_meta_equal points
to bpf_map_meta_equal in this patch.  A later patch will
relax the max_entries check for most maps.  bpf_types.h
counts 28 map types.  This patch adds 23 ".map_meta_equal"
by using coccinelle.  -5 for
	BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY
	BPF_MAP_TYPE_(PERCPU)_CGROUP_STORAGE
	BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS
	BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS
	BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS

The "if (inner_map->inner_map_meta)" check in bpf_map_meta_alloc()
is moved such that the same error is returned.

      bpf: Change uapi for bpf iterator map elements · 5e7b3020
      由 Yonghong Song 提交于 
      Commit a5cbe05a ("bpf: Implement bpf iterator for
map elements") added bpf iterator support for
map elements. The map element bpf iterator requires
info to identify a particular map. In the above
commit, the attr->link_create.target_fd is used
to carry map_fd and an enum bpf_iter_link_info
is added to uapi to specify the target_fd actually
representing a map_fd:
    enum bpf_iter_link_info {
	BPF_ITER_LINK_UNSPEC = 0,
	BPF_ITER_LINK_MAP_FD = 1,

	MAX_BPF_ITER_LINK_INFO,
    };

This is an extensible approach as we can grow
enumerator for pid, cgroup_id, etc. and we can
unionize target_fd for pid, cgroup_id, etc.
But in the future, there are chances that
more complex customization may happen, e.g.,
for tasks, it could be filtered based on
both cgroup_id and user_id.

This patch changed the uapi to have fields
	__aligned_u64	iter_info;
	__u32		iter_info_len;
for additional iter_info for link_create.
The iter_info is defined as
	union bpf_iter_link_info {
		struct {
			__u32   map_fd;
		} map;
	};

So future extension for additional customization
will be easier. The bpf_iter_link_info will be
passed to target callback to validate and generic
bpf_iter framework does not need to deal it any
more.

Note that map_fd = 0 will be considered invalid
and -EBADF will be returned to user space.

      bpf: Introduce SK_LOOKUP program type with a dedicated attach point · e9ddbb77
      由 Jakub Sitnicki 提交于 
      Add a new program type BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_LOOKUP with a dedicated attach type
BPF_SK_LOOKUP. The new program kind is to be invoked by the transport layer
when looking up a listening socket for a new connection request for
connection oriented protocols, or when looking up an unconnected socket for
a packet for connection-less protocols.

When called, SK_LOOKUP BPF program can select a socket that will receive
the packet. This serves as a mechanism to overcome the limits of what
bind() API allows to express. Two use-cases driving this work are:

 (1) steer packets destined to an IP range, on fixed port to a socket

     192.0.2.0/24, port 80 -> NGINX socket

 (2) steer packets destined to an IP address, on any port to a socket

     198.51.100.1, any port -> L7 proxy socket

In its run-time context program receives information about the packet that
triggered the socket lookup. Namely IP version, L4 protocol identifier, and
address 4-tuple. Context can be further extended to include ingress
interface identifier.

To select a socket BPF program fetches it from a map holding socket
references, like SOCKMAP or SOCKHASH, and calls bpf_sk_assign(ctx, sk, ...)
helper to record the selection. Transport layer then uses the selected
socket as a result of socket lookup.

In its basic form, SK_LOOKUP acts as a filter and hence must return either
SK_PASS or SK_DROP. If the program returns with SK_PASS, transport should
look for a socket to receive the packet, or use the one selected by the
program if available, while SK_DROP informs the transport layer that the
lookup should fail.

This patch only enables the user to attach an SK_LOOKUP program to a
network namespace. Subsequent patches hook it up to run on local delivery
path in ipv4 and ipv6 stacks.

      bpf: Support access to bpf map fields · 41c48f3a
      由 Andrey Ignatov 提交于 
      There are multiple use-cases when it's convenient to have access to bpf
map fields, both `struct bpf_map` and map type specific struct-s such as
`struct bpf_array`, `struct bpf_htab`, etc.

For example while working with sock arrays it can be necessary to
calculate the key based on map->max_entries (some_hash % max_entries).
Currently this is solved by communicating max_entries via "out-of-band"
channel, e.g. via additional map with known key to get info about target
map. That works, but is not very convenient and error-prone while
working with many maps.

In other cases necessary data is dynamic (i.e. unknown at loading time)
and it's impossible to get it at all. For example while working with a
hash table it can be convenient to know how much capacity is already
used (bpf_htab.count.counter for BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC case).

At the same time kernel knows this info and can provide it to bpf
program.

Fill this gap by adding support to access bpf map fields from bpf
program for both `struct bpf_map` and map type specific fields.

Support is implemented via btf_struct_access() so that a user can define
their own `struct bpf_map` or map type specific struct in their program
with only necessary fields and preserve_access_index attribute, cast a
map to this struct and use a field.

For example:

	struct bpf_map {
		__u32 max_entries;
	} __attribute__((preserve_access_index));

	struct bpf_array {
		struct bpf_map map;
		__u32 elem_size;
	} __attribute__((preserve_access_index));

	struct {
		__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY);
		__uint(max_entries, 4);
		__type(key, __u32);
		__type(value, __u32);
	} m_array SEC(".maps");

	SEC("cgroup_skb/egress")
	int cg_skb(void *ctx)
	{
		struct bpf_array *array = (struct bpf_array *)&m_array;
		struct bpf_map *map = (struct bpf_map *)&m_array;

		/* .. use map->max_entries or array->map.max_entries .. */
	}

Similarly to other btf_struct_access() use-cases (e.g. struct tcp_sock
in net/ipv4/bpf_tcp_ca.c) the patch allows access to any fields of
corresponding struct. Only reading from map fields is supported.

For btf_struct_access() to work there should be a way to know btf id of
a struct that corresponds to a map type. To get btf id there should be a
way to get a stringified name of map-specific struct, such as
"bpf_array", "bpf_htab", etc for a map type. Two new fields are added to
`struct bpf_map_ops` to handle it:
* .map_btf_name keeps a btf name of a struct returned by map_alloc();
* .map_btf_id is used to cache btf id of that struct.

To make btf ids calculation cheaper they're calculated once while
preparing btf_vmlinux and cached same way as it's done for btf_id field
of `struct bpf_func_proto`

While calculating btf ids, struct names are NOT checked for collision.
Collisions will be checked as a part of the work to prepare btf ids used
in verifier in compile time that should land soon. The only known
collision for `struct bpf_htab` (kernel/bpf/hashtab.c vs
net/core/sock_map.c) was fixed earlier.

Both new fields .map_btf_name and .map_btf_id must be set for a map type
for the feature to work. If neither is set for a map type, verifier will
return ENOTSUPP on a try to access map_ptr of corresponding type. If
just one of them set, it's verifier misconfiguration.

Only `struct bpf_array` for BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY and `struct bpf_htab` for
BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH are supported by this patch. Other map types will be
supported separately.

The feature is available only for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y and gated by
perfmon_capable() so that unpriv programs won't have access to bpf map
fields.

      bpf: Add support to attach bpf program to a devmap entry · fbee97fe
      由 David Ahern 提交于 
      Add BPF_XDP_DEVMAP attach type for use with programs associated with a
DEVMAP entry.

Allow DEVMAPs to associate a program with a device entry by adding
a bpf_prog.fd to 'struct bpf_devmap_val'. Values read show the program
id, so the fd and id are a union. bpf programs can get access to the
struct via vmlinux.h.

The program associated with the fd must have type XDP with expected
attach type BPF_XDP_DEVMAP. When a program is associated with a device
index, the program is run on an XDP_REDIRECT and before the buffer is
added to the per-cpu queue. At this point rxq data is still valid; the
next patch adds tx device information allowing the prorgam to see both
ingress and egress device indices.

XDP generic is skb based and XDP programs do not work with skb's. Block

      bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier support for it · 457f4436
      由 Andrii Nakryiko 提交于 
      This commit adds a new MPSC ring buffer implementation into BPF ecosystem,
which allows multiple CPUs to submit data to a single shared ring buffer. On
the consumption side, only single consumer is assumed.

Motivation
----------
There are two distinctive motivators for this work, which are not satisfied by
existing perf buffer, which prompted creation of a new ring buffer
implementation.
  - more efficient memory utilization by sharing ring buffer across CPUs;
  - preserving ordering of events that happen sequentially in time, even
  across multiple CPUs (e.g., fork/exec/exit events for a task).

These two problems are independent, but perf buffer fails to satisfy both.
Both are a result of a choice to have per-CPU perf ring buffer.  Both can be
also solved by having an MPSC implementation of ring buffer. The ordering
problem could technically be solved for perf buffer with some in-kernel
counting, but given the first one requires an MPSC buffer, the same solution
would solve the second problem automatically.

Semantics and APIs
------------------
Single ring buffer is presented to BPF programs as an instance of BPF map of
type BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF. Two other alternatives considered, but ultimately
rejected.

One way would be to, similar to BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY, make
BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF could represent an array of ring buffers, but not enforce
"same CPU only" rule. This would be more familiar interface compatible with
existing perf buffer use in BPF, but would fail if application needed more
advanced logic to lookup ring buffer by arbitrary key. HASH_OF_MAPS addresses
this with current approach. Additionally, given the performance of BPF
ringbuf, many use cases would just opt into a simple single ring buffer shared
among all CPUs, for which current approach would be an overkill.

Another approach could introduce a new concept, alongside BPF map, to
represent generic "container" object, which doesn't necessarily have key/value
interface with lookup/update/delete operations. This approach would add a lot
of extra infrastructure that has to be built for observability and verifier
support. It would also add another concept that BPF developers would have to
familiarize themselves with, new syntax in libbpf, etc. But then would really
provide no additional benefits over the approach of using a map.
BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF doesn't support lookup/update/delete operations, but so
doesn't few other map types (e.g., queue and stack; array doesn't support
delete, etc).

The approach chosen has an advantage of re-using existing BPF map
infrastructure (introspection APIs in kernel, libbpf support, etc), being
familiar concept (no need to teach users a new type of object in BPF program),
and utilizing existing tooling (bpftool). For common scenario of using
a single ring buffer for all CPUs, it's as simple and straightforward, as
would be with a dedicated "container" object. On the other hand, by being
a map, it can be combined with ARRAY_OF_MAPS and HASH_OF_MAPS map-in-maps to
implement a wide variety of topologies, from one ring buffer for each CPU
(e.g., as a replacement for perf buffer use cases), to a complicated
application hashing/sharding of ring buffers (e.g., having a small pool of
ring buffers with hashed task's tgid being a look up key to preserve order,
but reduce contention).

Key and value sizes are enforced to be zero. max_entries is used to specify
the size of ring buffer and has to be a power of 2 value.

There are a bunch of similarities between perf buffer
(BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY) and new BPF ring buffer semantics:
  - variable-length records;
  - if there is no more space left in ring buffer, reservation fails, no
    blocking;
  - memory-mappable data area for user-space applications for ease of
    consumption and high performance;
  - epoll notifications for new incoming data;
  - but still the ability to do busy polling for new data to achieve the
    lowest latency, if necessary.

BPF ringbuf provides two sets of APIs to BPF programs:
  - bpf_ringbuf_output() allows to *copy* data from one place to a ring
    buffer, similarly to bpf_perf_event_output();
  - bpf_ringbuf_reserve()/bpf_ringbuf_commit()/bpf_ringbuf_discard() APIs
    split the whole process into two steps. First, a fixed amount of space is
    reserved. If successful, a pointer to a data inside ring buffer data area
    is returned, which BPF programs can use similarly to a data inside
    array/hash maps. Once ready, this piece of memory is either committed or
    discarded. Discard is similar to commit, but makes consumer ignore the
    record.

bpf_ringbuf_output() has disadvantage of incurring extra memory copy, because
record has to be prepared in some other place first. But it allows to submit
records of the length that's not known to verifier beforehand. It also closely
matches bpf_perf_event_output(), so will simplify migration significantly.

bpf_ringbuf_reserve() avoids the extra copy of memory by providing a memory
pointer directly to ring buffer memory. In a lot of cases records are larger
than BPF stack space allows, so many programs have use extra per-CPU array as
a temporary heap for preparing sample. bpf_ringbuf_reserve() avoid this needs
completely. But in exchange, it only allows a known constant size of memory to
be reserved, such that verifier can verify that BPF program can't access
memory outside its reserved record space. bpf_ringbuf_output(), while slightly
slower due to extra memory copy, covers some use cases that are not suitable
for bpf_ringbuf_reserve().

The difference between commit and discard is very small. Discard just marks
a record as discarded, and such records are supposed to be ignored by consumer
code. Discard is useful for some advanced use-cases, such as ensuring
all-or-nothing multi-record submission, or emulating temporary malloc()/free()
within single BPF program invocation.

Each reserved record is tracked by verifier through existing
reference-tracking logic, similar to socket ref-tracking. It is thus
impossible to reserve a record, but forget to submit (or discard) it.

bpf_ringbuf_query() helper allows to query various properties of ring buffer.
Currently 4 are supported:
  - BPF_RB_AVAIL_DATA returns amount of unconsumed data in ring buffer;
  - BPF_RB_RING_SIZE returns the size of ring buffer;
  - BPF_RB_CONS_POS/BPF_RB_PROD_POS returns current logical possition of
    consumer/producer, respectively.
Returned values are momentarily snapshots of ring buffer state and could be
off by the time helper returns, so this should be used only for
debugging/reporting reasons or for implementing various heuristics, that take
into account highly-changeable nature of some of those characteristics.

One such heuristic might involve more fine-grained control over poll/epoll
notifications about new data availability in ring buffer. Together with
BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP/BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP flags for output/commit/discard helpers,
it allows BPF program a high degree of control and, e.g., more efficient
batched notifications. Default self-balancing strategy, though, should be
adequate for most applications and will work reliable and efficiently already.

Design and implementation
-------------------------
This reserve/commit schema allows a natural way for multiple producers, either
on different CPUs or even on the same CPU/in the same BPF program, to reserve
independent records and work with them without blocking other producers. This
means that if BPF program was interruped by another BPF program sharing the
same ring buffer, they will both get a record reserved (provided there is
enough space left) and can work with it and submit it independently. This
applies to NMI context as well, except that due to using a spinlock during
reservation, in NMI context, bpf_ringbuf_reserve() might fail to get a lock,
in which case reservation will fail even if ring buffer is not full.

The ring buffer itself internally is implemented as a power-of-2 sized
circular buffer, with two logical and ever-increasing counters (which might
wrap around on 32-bit architectures, that's not a problem):
  - consumer counter shows up to which logical position consumer consumed the
    data;
  - producer counter denotes amount of data reserved by all producers.

Each time a record is reserved, producer that "owns" the record will
successfully advance producer counter. At that point, data is still not yet
ready to be consumed, though. Each record has 8 byte header, which contains
the length of reserved record, as well as two extra bits: busy bit to denote
that record is still being worked on, and discard bit, which might be set at
commit time if record is discarded. In the latter case, consumer is supposed
to skip the record and move on to the next one. Record header also encodes
record's relative offset from the beginning of ring buffer data area (in
pages). This allows bpf_ringbuf_commit()/bpf_ringbuf_discard() to accept only
the pointer to the record itself, without requiring also the pointer to ring
buffer itself. Ring buffer memory location will be restored from record
metadata header. This significantly simplifies verifier, as well as improving
API usability.

Producer counter increments are serialized under spinlock, so there is
a strict ordering between reservations. Commits, on the other hand, are
completely lockless and independent. All records become available to consumer
in the order of reservations, but only after all previous records where
already committed. It is thus possible for slow producers to temporarily hold
off submitted records, that were reserved later.

Reservation/commit/consumer protocol is verified by litmus tests in
Documentation/litmus-test/bpf-rb.

One interesting implementation bit, that significantly simplifies (and thus
speeds up as well) implementation of both producers and consumers is how data
area is mapped twice contiguously back-to-back in the virtual memory. This
allows to not take any special measures for samples that have to wrap around
at the end of the circular buffer data area, because the next page after the
last data page would be first data page again, and thus the sample will still
appear completely contiguous in virtual memory. See comment and a simple ASCII
diagram showing this visually in bpf_ringbuf_area_alloc().

Another feature that distinguishes BPF ringbuf from perf ring buffer is
a self-pacing notifications of new data being availability.
bpf_ringbuf_commit() implementation will send a notification of new record
being available after commit only if consumer has already caught up right up
to the record being committed. If not, consumer still has to catch up and thus
will see new data anyways without needing an extra poll notification.
Benchmarks (see tools/testing/selftests/bpf/benchs/bench_ringbuf.c) show that
this allows to achieve a very high throughput without having to resort to
tricks like "notify only every Nth sample", which are necessary with perf
buffer. For extreme cases, when BPF program wants more manual control of
notifications, commit/discard/output helpers accept BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP and
BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP flags, which give full control over notifications of data
availability, but require extra caution and diligence in using this API.

Comparison to alternatives
--------------------------
Before considering implementing BPF ring buffer from scratch existing
alternatives in kernel were evaluated, but didn't seem to meet the needs. They
largely fell into few categores:
  - per-CPU buffers (perf, ftrace, etc), which don't satisfy two motivations
    outlined above (ordering and memory consumption);
  - linked list-based implementations; while some were multi-producer designs,
    consuming these from user-space would be very complicated and most
    probably not performant; memory-mapping contiguous piece of memory is
    simpler and more performant for user-space consumers;
  - io_uring is SPSC, but also requires fixed-sized elements. Naively turning
    SPSC queue into MPSC w/ lock would have subpar performance compared to
    locked reserve + lockless commit, as with BPF ring buffer. Fixed sized
    elements would be too limiting for BPF programs, given existing BPF
    programs heavily rely on variable-sized perf buffer already;
  - specialized implementations (like a new printk ring buffer, [0]) with lots
    of printk-specific limitations and implications, that didn't seem to fit
    well for intended use with BPF programs.

      bpf: Implement CAP_BPF · 2c78ee89

      Implement permissions as stated in uapi/linux/capability.h
In order to do that the verifier allow_ptr_leaks flag is split
into four flags and they are set as:
  env->allow_ptr_leaks = bpf_allow_ptr_leaks();
  env->bypass_spec_v1 = bpf_bypass_spec_v1();
  env->bypass_spec_v4 = bpf_bypass_spec_v4();
  env->bpf_capable = bpf_capable();

The first three currently equivalent to perfmon_capable(), since leaking kernel
pointers and reading kernel memory via side channel attacks is roughly
equivalent to reading kernel memory with cap_perfmon.

'bpf_capable' enables bounded loops, precision tracking, bpf to bpf calls and
other verifier features. 'allow_ptr_leaks' enable ptr leaks, ptr conversions,
subtraction of pointers. 'bypass_spec_v1' disables speculative analysis in the
verifier, run time mitigations in bpf array, and enables indirect variable
access in bpf programs. 'bypass_spec_v4' disables emission of sanitation code
by the verifier.

That means that the networking BPF program loaded with CAP_BPF + CAP_NET_ADMIN
will have speculative checks done by the verifier and other spectre mitigation
applied. Such networking BPF program will not be able to leak kernel pointers
and will not be able to access arbitrary kernel memory.
