      bpf: Add mmap() support for BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY · fc970227
      Andrii Nakryiko 提交于
      Add ability to memory-map contents of BPF array map. This is extremely useful
      for working with BPF global data from userspace programs. It allows to avoid
      typical bpf_map_{lookup,update}_elem operations, improving both performance
      and usability.
      
      There had to be special considerations for map freezing, to avoid having
      writable memory view into a frozen map. To solve this issue, map freezing and
      mmap-ing is happening under mutex now:
        - if map is already frozen, no writable mapping is allowed;
        - if map has writable memory mappings active (accounted in map->writecnt),
          map freezing will keep failing with -EBUSY;
        - once number of writable memory mappings drops to zero, map freezing can be
          performed again.
      
      Only non-per-CPU plain arrays are supported right now. Maps with spinlocks
      can't be memory mapped either.
      
      For BPF_F_MMAPABLE array, memory allocation has to be done through vmalloc()
      to be mmap()'able. We also need to make sure that array data memory is
      page-sized and page-aligned, so we over-allocate memory in such a way that
      struct bpf_array is at the end of a single page of memory with array->value
      being aligned with the start of the second page. On deallocation we need to
      accomodate this memory arrangement to free vmalloc()'ed memory correctly.
      
      One important consideration regarding how memory-mapping subsystem functions.
      Memory-mapping subsystem provides few optional callbacks, among them open()
      and close().  close() is called for each memory region that is unmapped, so
      that users can decrease their reference counters and free up resources, if
      necessary. open() is *almost* symmetrical: it's called for each memory region
      that is being mapped, **except** the very first one. So bpf_map_mmap does
      initial refcnt bump, while open() will do any extra ones after that. Thus
      number of close() calls is equal to number of open() calls plus one more.
