[ Upstream commit 4294a0a7ab6282c3d92f03de84e762dda993c93d ]

kernel/bpf/verifier.c file is large and growing larger all the time. So
it's good to start splitting off more or less self-contained parts into
separate files to keep source code size (somewhat) somewhat under
control.

This patch is a one step in this direction, moving some of BPF verifier log
routines into a separate kernel/bpf/log.c. Right now it's most low-level
and isolated routines to append data to log, reset log to previous
position, etc. Eventually we could probably move verifier state
printing logic here as well, but this patch doesn't attempt to do that
yet.

Subsequent patches will add more logic to verifier log management, so
having basics in a separate file will make sure verifier.c doesn't grow
more with new changes.

Tracing BPF programs can attach to kprobe and fentry. Hence they
run in unknown context where calling plain kmalloc() might not be safe.

Front-end kmalloc() with minimal per-cpu cache of free elements.
Refill this cache asynchronously from irq_work.

BPF programs always run with migration disabled.
It's safe to allocate from cache of the current cpu with irqs disabled.
Free-ing is always done into bucket of the current cpu as well.
irq_work trims extra free elements from buckets with kfree
and refills them with kmalloc, so global kmalloc logic takes care
of freeing objects allocated by one cpu and freed on another.

struct bpf_mem_alloc supports two modes:
- When size != 0 create kmem_cache and bpf_mem_cache for each cpu.
  This is typical bpf hash map use case when all elements have equal size.
- When size == 0 allocate 11 bpf_mem_cache-s for each cpu, then rely on
  kmalloc/kfree. Max allocation size is 4096 in this case.
  This is bpf_dynptr and bpf_kptr use case.

bpf_mem_alloc/bpf_mem_free are bpf specific 'wrappers' of kmalloc/kfree.
bpf_mem_cache_alloc/bpf_mem_cache_free are 'wrappers' of kmem_cache_alloc/kmem_cache_free.

The allocators are NMI-safe from bpf programs only. They are not NMI-safe in general.

<title>bpf: Introduce cgroup iter</title>

Cgroup_iter is a type of bpf_iter. It walks over cgroups in four modes:

 - walking a cgroup's descendants in pre-order.
 - walking a cgroup's descendants in post-order.
 - walking a cgroup's ancestors.
 - process only the given cgroup.

When attaching cgroup_iter, one can set a cgroup to the iter_link
created from attaching. This cgroup is passed as a file descriptor
or cgroup id and serves as the starting point of the walk. If no
cgroup is specified, the starting point will be the root cgroup v2.

For walking descendants, one can specify the order: either pre-order or
post-order. For walking ancestors, the walk starts at the specified
cgroup and ends at the root.

One can also terminate the walk early by returning 1 from the iter
program.

Note that because walking cgroup hierarchy holds cgroup_mutex, the iter
program is called with cgroup_mutex held.

Currently only one session is supported, which means, depending on the
volume of data bpf program intends to send to user space, the number
of cgroups that can be walked is limited. For example, given the current
buffer size is 8 * PAGE_SIZE, if the program sends 64B data for each
cgroup, assuming PAGE_SIZE is 4kb, the total number of cgroups that can
be walked is 512. This is a limitation of cgroup_iter. If the output
data is larger than the kernel buffer size, after all data in the
kernel buffer is consumed by user space, the subsequent read() syscall
will signal EOPNOTSUPP. In order to work around, the user may have to
update their program to reduce the volume of data sent to output. For
example, skip some uninteresting cgroups. In future, we may extend
bpf_iter flags to allow customizing buffer size.

Make relo_core.c to be compiled for the kernel and for user space libbpf.

Note the patch is reducing BPF_CORE_SPEC_MAX_LEN from 64 to 32.
This is the maximum number of nested structs and arrays.
For example:
 struct sample {
     int a;
     struct {
         int b[10];
     };
 };

 struct sample *s = ...;
 int *y = &amp;s-&gt;b[5];
This field access is encoded as "0:1:0:5" and spec len is 4.

The follow up patch might bump it back to 64.

<title>bpf: Add bloom filter map implementation</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch adds the kernel-side changes for the implementation of
a bpf bloom filter map.

The bloom filter map supports peek (determining whether an element
is present in the map) and push (adding an element to the map)
operations.These operations are exposed to userspace applications
through the already existing syscalls in the following way:

BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM -&gt; peek
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM -&gt; push

The bloom filter map does not have keys, only values. In light of
this, the bloom filter map's API matches that of queue stack maps:
user applications use BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM/BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM
which correspond internally to bpf_map_peek_elem/bpf_map_push_elem,
and bpf programs must use the bpf_map_peek_elem and bpf_map_push_elem
APIs to query or add an element to the bloom filter map. When the
bloom filter map is created, it must be created with a key_size of 0.

For updates, the user will pass in the element to add to the map
as the value, with a NULL key. For lookups, the user will pass in the
element to query in the map as the value, with a NULL key. In the
verifier layer, this requires us to modify the argument type of
a bloom filter's BPF_FUNC_map_peek_elem call to ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE;
as well, in the syscall layer, we need to copy over the user value
so that in bpf_map_peek_elem, we know which specific value to query.

A few things to please take note of:
 * If there are any concurrent lookups + updates, the user is
responsible for synchronizing this to ensure no false negative lookups
occur.
 * The number of hashes to use for the bloom filter is configurable from
userspace. If no number is specified, the default used will be 5 hash
functions. The benchmarks later in this patchset can help compare the
performance of using different number of hashes on different entry
sizes. In general, using more hashes decreases both the false positive
rate and the speed of a lookup.
 * Deleting an element in the bloom filter map is not supported.
 * The bloom filter map may be used as an inner map.
 * The "max_entries" size that is specified at map creation time is used
to approximate a reasonable bitmap size for the bloom filter, and is not
otherwise strictly enforced. If the user wishes to insert more entries
into the bloom filter than "max_entries", they may do so but they should
be aware that this may lead to a higher false positive rate.

<title>bpf: Enable task local storage for tracing programs</title>

To access per-task data, BPF programs usually creates a hash table with
pid as the key. This is not ideal because:
 1. The user need to estimate the proper size of the hash table, which may
    be inaccurate;
 2. Big hash tables are slow;
 3. To clean up the data properly during task terminations, the user need
    to write extra logic.

Task local storage overcomes these issues and offers a better option for
these per-task data. Task local storage is only available to BPF_LSM. Now
enable it for tracing programs.

Unlike LSM programs, tracing programs can be called in IRQ contexts.
Helpers that access task local storage are updated to use
raw_spin_lock_irqsave() instead of raw_spin_lock_bh().

Tracing programs can attach to functions on the task free path, e.g.
exit_creds(). To avoid allocating task local storage after
bpf_task_storage_free(). bpf_task_storage_get() is updated to not allocate
new storage when the task is not refcounted (task-&gt;usage == 0).

 1. The user need to estimate the proper size of the hash table, which may
    be inaccurate;
 2. Big hash tables are slow;
 3. To clean up the data properly during task terminations, the user need
    to write extra logic.

Task local storage overcomes these issues and offers a better option for
these per-task data. Task local storage is only available to BPF_LSM. Now
enable it for tracing programs.

Unlike LSM programs, tracing programs can be called in IRQ contexts.
Helpers that access task local storage are updated to use
raw_spin_lock_irqsave() instead of raw_spin_lock_bh().

Tracing programs can attach to functions on the task free path, e.g.
exit_creds(). To avoid allocating task local storage after
bpf_task_storage_free(). bpf_task_storage_get() is updated to not allocate
new storage when the task is not refcounted (task-&gt;usage == 0).

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2020-11-14

1) Add BTF generation for kernel modules and extend BTF infra in kernel
   e.g. support for split BTF loading and validation, from Andrii Nakryiko.

2) Support for pointers beyond pkt_end to recognize LLVM generated patterns
   on inlined branch conditions, from Alexei Starovoitov.

3) Implements bpf_local_storage for task_struct for BPF LSM, from KP Singh.

4) Enable FENTRY/FEXIT/RAW_TP tracing program to use the bpf_sk_storage
   infra, from Martin KaFai Lau.

5) Add XDP bulk APIs that introduce a defer/flush mechanism to optimize the
   XDP_REDIRECT path, from Lorenzo Bianconi.

6) Fix a potential (although rather theoretical) deadlock of hashtab in NMI
   context, from Song Liu.

7) Fixes for cross and out-of-tree build of bpftool and runqslower allowing build
   for different target archs on same source tree, from Jean-Philippe Brucker.

8) Fix error path in htab_map_alloc() triggered from syzbot, from Eric Dumazet.

9) Move functionality from test_tcpbpf_user into the test_progs framework so it
   can run in BPF CI, from Alexander Duyck.

10) Lift hashtab key_size limit to be larger than MAX_BPF_STACK, from Florian Lehner.

Note that for the fix from Song we have seen a sparse report on context
imbalance which requires changes in sparse itself for proper annotation
detection where this is currently being discussed on linux-sparse among
developers [0]. Once we have more clarification/guidance after their fix,
Song will follow-up.

Similar to bpf_local_storage for sockets and inodes add local storage
for task_struct.

The life-cycle of storage is managed with the life-cycle of the
task_struct.  i.e. the storage is destroyed along with the owning task
with a callback to the bpf_task_storage_free from the task_free LSM
hook.

The BPF LSM allocates an __rcu pointer to the bpf_local_storage in
the security blob which are now stackable and can co-exist with other
LSMs.

The userspace map operations can be done by using a pid fd as a key
passed to the lookup, update and delete operations.

<title>bpf: Don't rely on GCC __attribute__((optimize)) to disable GCSE</title>

Commit 3193c0836 ("bpf: Disable GCC -fgcse optimization for
___bpf_prog_run()") introduced a __no_fgcse macro that expands to a
function scope __attribute__((optimize("-fno-gcse"))), to disable a
GCC specific optimization that was causing trouble on x86 builds, and
was not expected to have any positive effect in the first place.

However, as the GCC manual documents, __attribute__((optimize))
is not for production use, and results in all other optimization
options to be forgotten for the function in question. This can
cause all kinds of trouble, but in one particular reported case,
it causes -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables to be disregarded,
resulting in .eh_frame info to be emitted for the function.

This reverts commit 3193c0836, and instead, it disables the -fgcse
optimization for the entire source file, but only when building for
X86 using GCC with CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON disabled. Note that the
original commit states that CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n triggers the issue,
whereas CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y performs better without the optimization,
so it is kept disabled in both cases.
