This patch adds recently added constant blinding helpers into the
s390 eBPF JIT. In the bpf_int_jit_compile() path, requirements are
to utilize bpf_jit_blind_constants()/bpf_jit_prog_release_other()
pair for rewriting the program into a blinded one, and to map the
BPF_REG_AX register to a CPU register. The mapping of BPF_REG_AX
is at r12 and similarly like in x86 case performs reloading when
ld_abs/ind is used. When blinding is not used, there's no additional
overhead in the generated image.

When BPF_REG_AX is used, we don't need to emit skb->data reload when
helper function changed skb->data, as this will be reloaded later
on anyway from stack on ld_abs/ind, where skb->data is needed. s390
allows for this w/o much additional complexity unlike f.e. x86.

This work adds a generic facility for use from eBPF JIT compilers
that allows for further hardening of JIT generated images through
blinding constants. In response to the original work on BPF JIT
spraying published by Keegan McAllister [1], most BPF JITs were
changed to make images read-only and start at a randomized offset
in the page, where the rest was filled with trap instructions. We
have this nowadays in x86, arm, arm64 and s390 JIT compilers.
Additionally, later work also made eBPF interpreter images read
only for kernels supporting DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX, that is, x86,
arm, arm64 and s390 archs as well currently. This is done by
default for mentioned JITs when JITing is enabled. Furthermore,
we had a generic and configurable constant blinding facility on our
todo for quite some time now to further make spraying harder, and
first implementation since around netconf 2016.

We found that for systems where untrusted users can load cBPF/eBPF
code where JIT is enabled, start offset randomization helps a bit
to make jumps into crafted payload harder, but in case where larger
programs that cross page boundary are injected, we again have some
part of the program opcodes at a page start offset. With improved
guessing and more reliable payload injection, chances can increase
to jump into such payload. Elena Reshetova recently wrote a test
case for it [2, 3]. Moreover, eBPF comes with 64 bit constants, which
can leave some more room for payloads. Note that for all this,
additional bugs in the kernel are still required to make the jump
(and of course to guess right, to not jump into a trap) and naturally
the JIT must be enabled, which is disabled by default.

For helping mitigation, the general idea is to provide an option
bpf_jit_harden that admins can tweak along with bpf_jit_enable, so
that for cases where JIT should be enabled for performance reasons,
the generated image can be further hardened with blinding constants
for unpriviledged users (bpf_jit_harden == 1), with trading off
performance for these, but not for privileged ones. We also added
the option of blinding for all users (bpf_jit_harden == 2), which
is quite helpful for testing f.e. with test_bpf.ko. There are no
further e.g. hardening levels of bpf_jit_harden switch intended,
rationale is to have it dead simple to use as on/off. Since this
functionality would need to be duplicated over and over for JIT
compilers to use, which are already complex enough, we provide a
generic eBPF byte-code level based blinding implementation, which is
then just transparently JITed. JIT compilers need to make only a few
changes to integrate this facility and can be migrated one by one.

This option is for eBPF JITs and will be used in x86, arm64, s390
without too much effort, and soon ppc64 JITs, thus that native eBPF
can be blinded as well as cBPF to eBPF migrations, so that both can
be covered with a single implementation. The rule for JITs is that
bpf_jit_blind_constants() must be called from bpf_int_jit_compile(),
and in case blinding is disabled, we follow normally with JITing the
passed program. In case blinding is enabled and we fail during the
process of blinding itself, we must return with the interpreter.
Similarly, in case the JITing process after the blinding failed, we
return normally to the interpreter with the non-blinded code. Meaning,
interpreter doesn't change in any way and operates on eBPF code as
usual. For doing this pre-JIT blinding step, we need to make use of
a helper/auxiliary register, here BPF_REG_AX. This is strictly internal
to the JIT and not in any way part of the eBPF architecture. Just like
in the same way as JITs internally make use of some helper registers
when emitting code, only that here the helper register is one
abstraction level higher in eBPF bytecode, but nevertheless in JIT
phase. That helper register is needed since f.e. manually written
program can issue loads to all registers of eBPF architecture.

The core concept with the additional register is: blind out all 32
and 64 bit constants by converting BPF_K based instructions into a
small sequence from K_VAL into ((RND ^ K_VAL) ^ RND). Therefore, this
is transformed into: BPF_REG_AX := (RND ^ K_VAL), BPF_REG_AX ^= RND,
and REG <OP> BPF_REG_AX, so actual operation on the target register
is translated from BPF_K into BPF_X one that is operating on
BPF_REG_AX's content. During rewriting phase when blinding, RND is
newly generated via prandom_u32() for each processed instruction.
64 bit loads are split into two 32 bit loads to make translation and
patching not too complex. Only basic thing required by JITs is to
call the helper bpf_jit_blind_constants()/bpf_jit_prog_release_other()
pair, and to map BPF_REG_AX into an unused register.

As can be seen, original constants that carry payload are hidden
when enabled, actual operations are transformed from constant-based
to register-based ones, making jumps into constants ineffective.
Above extract/example uses single BPF load instruction over and
over, but of course all instructions with constants are blinded.

Performance wise, JIT with blinding performs a bit slower than just
JIT and faster than interpreter case. This is expected, since we
still get all the performance benefits from JITing and in normal
use-cases not every single instruction needs to be blinded. Summing
up all 296 test cases averaged over multiple runs from test_bpf.ko
suite, interpreter was 55% slower than JIT only and JIT with blinding
was 8% slower than JIT only. Since there are also some extremes in
the test suite, I expect for ordinary workloads that the performance
for the JIT with blinding case is even closer to JIT only case,
f.e. nmap test case from suite has averaged timings in ns 29 (JIT),
35 (+ blinding), and 151 (interpreter).

BPF test suite, seccomp test suite, eBPF sample code and various
bigger networking eBPF programs have been tested with this and were
running fine. For testing purposes, I also adapted interpreter and
redirected blinded eBPF image to interpreter and also here all tests
pass.

Now that the bridge code defers the switchdev port state setting, there
is no need to defer the port STP state change within the mv88e6xxx code.
Thus get rid of the driver's bridge work code.

This also fixes a race condition where the DSA layer assumes that the
bridge code already set the unbridged port's STP state to Disabled
before restoring the Forwarding state.

As a consequence, this also fixes the FDB flush for the unbridged port
which now correctly occurs during the Forwarding to Disabled transition.

There was an earlier discussion on these semantics in the following email
thread.

On devices that support TC U32 offloads, this flag enables a filter to be
added only to HW. skip-sw and skip-hw are mutually exclusive flags. By
default without any flags, the filter is added to both HW and SW, but no
error checks are done in case of failure to add to HW. With skip-sw,
failure to add to HW is treated as an error.

Here is a sample script that adds 2 filters, one with skip-sw and the other
with skip-hw flag.

   # add ingress qdisc
   tc qdisc add dev p4p1 ingress

   # enable hw tc offload.
   ethtool -K p4p1 hw-tc-offload on

   # add u32 filter with skip-sw flag.
   tc filter add dev p4p1 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 99 \
      handle 800:0:1 u32 ht 800: flowid 800:1 \
      skip-sw \
      match ip src 192.168.1.0/24 \
      action drop

   # add u32 filter with skip-hw flag.
   tc filter add dev p4p1 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 99 \
      handle 800:0:2 u32 ht 800: flowid 800:2 \
      skip-hw \
      match ip src 192.168.2.0/24 \
      action drop

hv_netvsc: avoid races on mtu change/set channels

Changes since v1:
- Rebased to net-next [Haiyang Zhang]

Original description:

MTU change and set channels operations are implemented as netvsc device
re-creation destroying internal structures (struct net_device stays). This
is really unfortunate but there is no support from Hyper-V host to do it
in a different way. Such re-creation is unsurprisingly racy, Haiyang
reported a crash when netvsc_change_mtu() is racing with
netvsc_link_change() but I was able to identify additional races upon
investigation. Both netvsc_set_channels() and netvsc_change_mtu() race
against:
1) netvsc_link_change()
2) netvsc_remove()
3) netvsc_send()

To solve these issues without introducing new locks some refactoring is
required. We need to get rid of very complex link graph in all the
internal structures and avoid traveling through structures which are being
removed.

Crash in netvsc_send() is observed when netvsc device is re-created on
mtu change/set channels. The crash is caused by dereferencing of NULL
channel pointer which comes from chn_table. The root cause is a mixture
of two facts:
- we set nvdev pointer in net_device_context in alloc_net_device()
  before we populate chn_table.
- we populate chn_table[0] only.

The issue could be papered over by checking channel != NULL in
netvsc_send() but populating the whole chn_table and writing the
nvdev pointer afterwards seems more appropriate.
