Extend bpf() syscall subcommands that operate on bpf_link, that is LINK_CREATE, LINK_UPDATE, OBJ_GET_INFO, to accept attach types tied to network namespaces (only flow dissector at the moment). Link-based and prog-based attachment can be used interchangeably, but only one can exist at a time. Attempts to attach a link when a prog is already attached directly, and the other way around, will be met with -EEXIST. Attempts to detach a program when link exists result in -EINVAL. Attachment of multiple links of same attach type to one netns is not supported with the intention to lift the restriction when a use-case presents itself. Because of that link create returns -E2BIG when trying to create another netns link, when one already exists. Link-based attachments to netns don't keep a netns alive by holding a ref to it. Instead links get auto-detached from netns when the latter is being destroyed, using a pernet pre_exit callback. When auto-detached, link lives in defunct state as long there are open FDs for it. -ENOLINK is returned if a user tries to update a defunct link. Because bpf_link to netns doesn't hold a ref to struct net, special care is taken when releasing, updating, or filling link info. The netns might be getting torn down when any of these link operations are in progress. That is why auto-detach and update/release/fill_info are synchronized by the same mutex. Also, link ops have to always check if auto-detach has not happened yet and if netns is still alive (refcnt > 0).

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 the use case by walking maps used by a program that is to be attached via xdpgeneric and fail if any of them are DEVMAP / DEVMAP_HASH with Block attach of BPF_XDP_DEVMAP programs to devices.

Add "rx_queue_mapping" to bpf_sock. This gives read access for the existing field (sk_rx_queue_mapping) of struct sock from bpf_sock. Semantics for the bpf_sock rx_queue_mapping access are similar to sk_rx_queue_get(), i.e the value NO_QUEUE_MAPPING is not allowed and -1 is returned in that case. This is useful for transmit queue selection based on the received queue index which is cached in the socket in the receive path. v3: Addressed review comments to add usecase in patch description, and fixed default value for rx_queue_mapping. v2: fixed build error for CONFIG_XPS wrapping, reported by kbuild test robot <lkp@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NAmritha Nambiar <amritha.nambiar@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NAlexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

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.

As stated in 983695fa ("bpf: fix unconnected udp hooks"), the objective for the existing cgroup connect/sendmsg/recvmsg/bind BPF hooks is to be transparent to applications. In Cilium we make use of these hooks [0] in order to enable E-W load balancing for existing Kubernetes service types for all Cilium managed nodes in the cluster. Those backends can be local or remote. The main advantage of this approach is that it operates as close as possible to the socket, and therefore allows to avoid packet-based NAT given in connect/sendmsg/recvmsg hooks we only need to xlate sock addresses. This also allows to expose NodePort services on loopback addresses in the host namespace, for example. As another advantage, this also efficiently blocks bind requests for applications in the host namespace for exposed ports. However, one missing item is that we also need to perform reverse xlation for inet{,6}_getname() hooks such that we can return the service IP/port tuple back to the application instead of the remote peer address. The vast majority of applications does not bother about getpeername(), but in a few occasions we've seen breakage when validating the peer's address since it returns unexpectedly the backend tuple instead of the service one. Therefore, this trivial patch allows to customise and adds a getpeername() as well as getsockname() BPF cgroup hook for both IPv4 and IPv6 in order to address this situation. Simple example: # ./cilium/cilium service list ID Frontend Service Type Backend 1 1.2.3.4:80 ClusterIP 1 => 10.0.0.10:80 Before; curl's verbose output example, no getpeername() reverse xlation: # curl --verbose 1.2.3.4 * Rebuilt URL to: 1.2.3.4/ * Trying 1.2.3.4... * TCP_NODELAY set * Connected to 1.2.3.4 (10.0.0.10) port 80 (#0) > GET / HTTP/1.1 > Host: 1.2.3.4 > User-Agent: curl/7.58.0 > Accept: */* [...] After; with getpeername() reverse xlation: # curl --verbose 1.2.3.4 * Rebuilt URL to: 1.2.3.4/ * Trying 1.2.3.4... * TCP_NODELAY set * Connected to 1.2.3.4 (1.2.3.4) port 80 (#0) > GET / HTTP/1.1 > Host: 1.2.3.4 > User-Agent: curl/7.58.0 > Accept: */* [...] Originally, I had both under a BPF_CGROUP_INET{4,6}_GETNAME type and exposed peer to the context similar as in inet{,6}_getname() fashion, but API-wise this is suboptimal as it always enforces programs having to test for ctx->peer which can easily be missed, hence BPF_CGROUP_INET{4,6}_GET{PEER,SOCK}NAME split. Similarly, the checked return code is on tnum_range(1, 1), but if a use case comes up in future, it can easily be changed to return an error code instead. Helper and ctx member access is the same as with connect/sendmsg/etc hooks.

With having ability to lookup sockets in cgroup skb programs it becomes useful to access cgroup id of retrieved sockets so that policies can be implemented based on origin cgroup of such socket. For example, a container running in a cgroup can have cgroup skb ingress program that can lookup peer socket that is sending packets to a process inside the container and decide whether those packets should be allowed or denied based on cgroup id of the peer. More specifically such ingress program can implement intra-host policy "allow incoming packets only from this same container and not from any other container on same host" w/o relying on source IP addresses since quite often it can be the case that containers share same IP address on the host. Introduce two new helpers for this use-case: bpf_sk_cgroup_id() and bpf_sk_ancestor_cgroup_id(). These helpers are similar to existing bpf_skb_{,ancestor_}cgroup_id helpers with the only difference that sk is used to get cgroup id instead of skb, and share code with them.

Two helpers bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write, are added for writing data to the seq_file buffer. bpf_seq_printf supports common format string flag/width/type fields so at least I can get identical results for netlink and ipv6_route targets. For bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write, return value -EOVERFLOW specifically indicates a write failure due to overflow, which means the object will be repeated in the next bpf invocation if object collection stays the same. Note that if the object collection is changed, depending how collection traversal is done, even if the object still in the collection, it may not be visited. For bpf_seq_printf, format %s, %p{i,I}{4,6} needs to read kernel memory. Reading kernel memory may fail in the following two cases: - invalid kernel address, or - valid kernel address but requiring a major fault If reading kernel memory failed, the %s string will be an empty string and %p{i,I}{4,6} will be all 0. Not returning error to bpf program is consistent with what bpf_trace_printk() does for now. bpf_seq_printf may return -EBUSY meaning that internal percpu buffer for memory copy of strings or other pointees is not available. Bpf program can return 1 to indicate it wants the same object to be repeated. Right now, this should not happen on no-RT kernels since migrate_disable(), which guards bpf prog call, calls preempt_disable().

A new bpf command BPF_ITER_CREATE is added. The anonymous bpf iterator is seq_file based. The seq_file private data are referenced by targets. The bpf_iter infrastructure allocated additional space at seq_file->private before the space used by targets to store some meta data, e.g., prog: prog to run session_id: an unique id for each opened seq_file seq_num: how many times bpf programs are queried in this session done_stop: an internal state to decide whether bpf program should be called in seq_ops->stop() or not The seq_num will start from 0 for valid objects. The bpf program may see the same seq_num more than once if - seq_file buffer overflow happens and the same object is retried by bpf_seq_read(), or - the bpf program explicitly requests a retry of the same object Since module is not supported for bpf_iter, all target registeration happens at __init time, so there is no need to change bpf_iter_unreg_target() as it is used mostly in error path of the init function at which time no bpf iterators have been created yet.

Given a bpf program, the step to create an anonymous bpf iterator is: - create a bpf_iter_link, which combines bpf program and the target. In the future, there could be more information recorded in the link. A link_fd will be returned to the user space. - create an anonymous bpf iterator with the given link_fd. The bpf_iter_link can be pinned to bpffs mount file system to create a file based bpf iterator as well. The benefit to use of bpf_iter_link: - using bpf link simplifies design and implementation as bpf link is used for other tracing bpf programs. - for file based bpf iterator, bpf_iter_link provides a standard way to replace underlying bpf programs. - for both anonymous and free based iterators, bpf link query capability can be leveraged. The patch added support of tracing/iter programs for BPF_LINK_CREATE. A new link type BPF_LINK_TYPE_ITER is added to facilitate link querying. Currently, only prog_id is needed, so there is no additional in-kernel show_fdinfo() and fill_link_info() hook is needed for BPF_LINK_TYPE_ITER link.

A bpf_iter program is a tracing program with attach type BPF_TRACE_ITER. The load attribute attach_btf_id is used by the verifier against a particular kernel function, which represents a target, e.g., __bpf_iter__bpf_map for target bpf_map which is implemented later. The program return value must be 0 or 1 for now. 0 : successful, except potential seq_file buffer overflow which is handled by seq_file reader. 1 : request to restart the same object In the future, other return values may be used for filtering or teminating the iterator.

The expensive part comes from the fact that we now need to call inet_csk_get_port() that verifies that the port is not used and allocates an entry in the hash table for it. Since we can't rely on "snum || !bind_address_no_port" to prevent us from calling POST_BIND hook anymore, let's add another bind flag to indicate that the call site is BPF program. v5: * fix wrong AF_INET (should be AF_INET6) in the bpf program for v6 v3: * More bpf_bind documentation refinements (Martin KaFai Lau) * Add UDP tests as well (Martin KaFai Lau) * Don't start the thread, just do socket+bind+listen (Martin KaFai Lau) v2: * Update documentation (Andrey Ignatov) * Pass BIND_FORCE_ADDRESS_NO_PORT conditionally (Andrey Ignatov) Signed-off-by: NStanislav Fomichev <sdf@google.com> Signed-off-by: NDaniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: NAndrey Ignatov <rdna@fb.com> Acked-by: NMartin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200508174611.228805-5-sdf@google.com

Currently, bpf_getsockopt and bpf_setsockopt helpers operate on the 'struct bpf_sock_ops' context in BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS program. Let's generalize them and make them available for 'struct bpf_sock_addr'. That way, in the future, we can allow those helpers in more places. As an example, let's expose those 'struct bpf_sock_addr' based helpers to BPF_CGROUP_INET{4,6}_CONNECT hooks. That way we can override CC before the connection is made. v3: * Expose custom helpers for bpf_sock_addr context instead of doing generic bpf_sock argument (as suggested by Daniel). Even with try_socket_lock that doesn't sleep we have a problem where context sk is already locked and socket lock is non-nestable. v2: * s/BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCKOPT/BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS/ Signed-off-by: NStanislav Fomichev <sdf@google.com> Signed-off-by: NAlexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Acked-by: NMartin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Acked-by: NJohn Fastabend <john.fastabend@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200430233152.199403-1-sdf@google.com

Currently, sysctl kernel.bpf_stats_enabled controls BPF runtime stats. Typical userspace tools use kernel.bpf_stats_enabled as follows: 1. Enable kernel.bpf_stats_enabled; 2. Check program run_time_ns; 3. Sleep for the monitoring period; 4. Check program run_time_ns again, calculate the difference; 5. Disable kernel.bpf_stats_enabled. The problem with this approach is that only one userspace tool can toggle this sysctl. If multiple tools toggle the sysctl at the same time, the measurement may be inaccurate. To fix this problem while keep backward compatibility, introduce a new bpf command BPF_ENABLE_STATS. On success, this command enables stats and returns a valid fd. BPF_ENABLE_STATS takes argument "type". Currently, only one type, BPF_STATS_RUN_TIME, is supported. We can extend the command to support other types of stats in the future. With BPF_ENABLE_STATS, user space tool would have the following flow: 1. Get a fd with BPF_ENABLE_STATS, and make sure it is valid; 2. Check program run_time_ns; 3. Sleep for the monitoring period; 4. Check program run_time_ns again, calculate the difference; 5. Close the fd.

Add support to look up bpf_link by ID and iterate over all existing bpf_links in the system. GET_FD_BY_ID code handles not-yet-ready bpf_link by checking that its ID hasn't been set to non-zero value yet. Setting bpf_link's ID is done as the very last step in finalizing bpf_link, together with installing FD.

They guarantee that until bpf_link is properly attached, user-space won't be able to access partially-initialized bpf_link either from FD or ID.

Add new operation (LINK_UPDATE), which allows to replace active bpf_prog from under given bpf_link. Currently this is only supported for bpf_cgroup_link, but will be extended to other kinds of bpf_links in follow-up patches. For bpf_cgroup_link, implemented functionality matches existing semantics for direct bpf_prog attachment (including BPF_F_REPLACE flag). User can either unconditionally set new bpf_prog regardless of which bpf_prog is currently active under given bpf_link, or, optionally, can specify expected active bpf_prog. If active bpf_prog doesn't match expected one, no changes are performed, old bpf_link stays intact and attached, operation returns a failure. cgroup_bpf_replace() operation is resolving race between auto-detachment and bpf_prog update in the same fashion as it's done for bpf_link detachment, except in this case update has no way of succeeding because of target cgroup marked as dying. So in this case error is returned.

Implement new sub-command to attach cgroup BPF programs and return FD-based bpf_link back on success. bpf_link, once attached to cgroup, cannot be replaced, except by owner having its FD. Cgroup bpf_link supports only BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI semantics. Both link-based and prog-based BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI attachments can be freely intermixed. To prevent bpf_cgroup_link from keeping cgroup alive past the point when no BPF program can be executed, implement auto-detachment of link. When cgroup_bpf_release() is called, all attached bpf_links are forced to release cgroup refcounts, but they leave bpf_link otherwise active and allocated, as well as still owning underlying bpf_prog. This is because user-space might still have FDs open and active, so bpf_link as a user-referenced object can't be freed yet. Once last active FD is closed, bpf_link will be freed and underlying bpf_prog refcount will be dropped. But cgroup refcount won't be touched, because cgroup is released already. The inherent race between bpf_cgroup_link release (from closing last FD) and cgroup_bpf_release() is resolved by both operations taking cgroup_mutex. So the only additional check required is when bpf_cgroup_link attempts to detach itself from cgroup. At that time we need to check whether there is still cgroup associated with that link. And if not, exit with success, because bpf_cgroup_link was already successfully detached.

Add support for TPROXY via a new bpf helper, bpf_sk_assign(). This helper requires the BPF program to discover the socket via a call to bpf_sk*_lookup_*(), then pass this socket to the new helper. The helper takes its own reference to the socket in addition to any existing reference that may or may not currently be obtained for the duration of BPF processing. For the destination socket to receive the traffic, the traffic must be routed towards that socket via local route. The simplest example route is below, but in practice you may want to route traffic more narrowly (eg by CIDR): $ ip route add local default dev lo This patch avoids trying to introduce an extra bit into the skb->sk, as that would require more invasive changes to all code interacting with the socket to ensure that the bit is handled correctly, such as all error-handling cases along the path from the helper in BPF through to the orphan path in the input. Instead, we opt to use the destructor variable to switch on the prefetch of the socket.

In Cilium we're mainly using BPF cgroup hooks today in order to implement kube-proxy free Kubernetes service translation for ClusterIP, NodePort (*), ExternalIP, and LoadBalancer as well as HostPort mapping [0] for all traffic between Cilium managed nodes. While this works in its current shape and avoids packet-level NAT for inter Cilium managed node traffic, there is one major limitation we're facing today, that is, lack of netns awareness. In Kubernetes, the concept of Pods (which hold one or multiple containers) has been built around network namespaces, so while we can use the global scope of attaching to root BPF cgroup hooks also to our advantage (e.g. for exposing NodePort ports on loopback addresses), we also have the need to differentiate between initial network namespaces and non-initial one. For example, ExternalIP services mandate that non-local service IPs are not to be translated from the host (initial) network namespace as one example. Right now, we have an ugly work-around in place where non-local service IPs for ExternalIP services are not xlated from connect() and friends BPF hooks but instead via less efficient packet-level NAT on the veth tc ingress hook for Pod traffic. On top of determining whether we're in initial or non-initial network namespace we also have a need for a socket-cookie like mechanism for network namespaces scope. Socket cookies have the nice property that they can be combined as part of the key structure e.g. for BPF LRU maps without having to worry that the cookie could be recycled. We are planning to use this for our sessionAffinity implementation for services. Therefore, add a new bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper which would resolve both use cases at once: bpf_get_netns_cookie(NULL) would provide the cookie for the initial network namespace while passing the context instead of NULL would provide the cookie from the application's network namespace. We're using a hole, so no size increase; the assignment happens only once. Therefore this allows for a comparison on initial namespace as well as regular cookie usage as we have today with socket cookies. We could later on enable this helper for other program types as well as we would see need.

When multiple programs are attached, each program receives the return value from the previous program on the stack and the last program provides the return value to the attached function. The fmod_ret bpf programs are run after the fentry programs and before the fexit programs. The original function is only called if all the fmod_ret programs return 0 to avoid any unintended side-effects. The success value, i.e. 0 is not currently configurable but can be made so where user-space can specify it at load time. For example: int func_to_be_attached(int a, int b) { <--- do_fentry do_fmod_ret: <update ret by calling fmod_ret> if (ret != 0) goto do_fexit; original_function: <side_effects_happen_here> } <--- do_fexit The fmod_ret program attached to this function can be defined as: SEC("fmod_ret/func_to_be_attached") int BPF_PROG(func_name, int a, int b, int ret) { // This will skip the original function logic. return 1; } The first fmod_ret program is passed 0 in its return argument.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Branch records are a CPU feature that can be configured to record certain branches that are taken during code execution. This data is particularly interesting for profile guided optimizations. perf has had branch record support for a while but the data collection can be a bit coarse grained. We (Facebook) have seen in experiments that associating metadata with branch records can improve results (after postprocessing). We generally use bpf_probe_read_*() to get metadata out of userspace. That's why bpf support for branch records is useful. Aside from this particular use case, having branch data available to bpf progs can be useful to get stack traces out of userspace applications that omit frame pointers.

Introduce dynamic program extensions. The users can load additional BPF functions and replace global functions in previously loaded BPF programs while these programs are executing. Global functions are verified individually by the verifier based on their types only. Hence the global function in the new program which types match older function can safely replace that corresponding function. This new function/program is called 'an extension' of old program. At load time the verifier uses (attach_prog_fd, attach_btf_id) pair to identify the function to be replaced. The BPF program type is derived from the target program into extension program. Technically bpf_verifier_ops is copied from target program. The BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT program type is a placeholder. It has empty verifier_ops. The extension program can call the same bpf helper functions as target program. Single BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT type is used to extend XDP, SKB and all other program types. The verifier allows only one level of replacement. Meaning that the extension program cannot recursively extend an extension. That also means that the maximum stack size is increasing from 512 to 1024 bytes and maximum function nesting level from 8 to 16. The programs don't always consume that much. The stack usage is determined by the number of on-stack variables used by the program. The verifier could have enforced 512 limit for combined original plus extension program, but it makes for difficult user experience. The main use case for extensions is to provide generic mechanism to plug external programs into policy program or function call chaining. BPF trampoline is used to track both fentry/fexit and program extensions because both are using the same nop slot at the beginning of every BPF function. Attaching fentry/fexit to a function that was replaced is not allowed. The opposite is true as well. Replacing a function that currently being analyzed with fentry/fexit is not allowed. The executable page allocated by BPF trampoline is not used by program extensions. This inefficiency will be optimized in future patches. Function by function verification of global function supports scalars and pointer to context only. Hence program extensions are supported for such class of global functions only. In the future the verifier will be extended with support to pointers to structures, arrays with sizes, etc. Signed-off-by: NAlexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NDaniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: NJohn Fastabend <john.fastabend@gmail.com> Acked-by: NAndrii Nakryiko <andriin@fb.com> Acked-by: NToke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200121005348.2769920-2-ast@kernel.org
