[ Upstream commit 17d8beda277a36203585943e70c7909b60775fd5 ]

Commit 15d83c4d7cef ("bpf: Allow loading of a bpf_iter program")
cached btf_id in struct bpf_iter_target_info so later on
if it can be checked cheaply compared to checking registered names.

syzbot found a bug that uninitialized value may occur to
bpf_iter_target_info-&gt;btf_id. This is because we allocated
bpf_iter_target_info structure with kmalloc and never initialized
field btf_id afterwards. This uninitialized btf_id is typically
compared to a u32 bpf program func proto btf_id, and the chance
of being equal is extremely slim.

This patch fixed the issue by using kzalloc which will also
prevent future likely instances due to adding new fields.

BPF iter size is limited to PAGE_SIZE; if we wish to display BTF-based
representations of larger kernel data structures such as task_struct,
this will be insufficient.

pull-request: bpf-next 2020-09-01

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

There are two small conflicts when pulling, resolve as follows:

1) Merge conflict in tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c between 88a82120282b ("libbpf: Factor
   out common ELF operations and improve logging") in bpf-next and 1e891e513e16
   ("libbpf: Fix map index used in error message") in net-next. Resolve by taking
   the hunk in bpf-next:

        [...]
        scn = elf_sec_by_idx(obj, obj-&gt;efile.btf_maps_shndx);
        data = elf_sec_data(obj, scn);
        if (!scn || !data) {
                pr_warn("elf: failed to get %s map definitions for %s\n",
                        MAPS_ELF_SEC, obj-&gt;path);
                return -EINVAL;
        }
        [...]

2) Merge conflict in drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en/xsk/rx.c between
   9647c57b11e5 ("xsk: i40e: ice: ixgbe: mlx5: Test for dma_need_sync earlier for
   better performance") in bpf-next and e20f0dbf204f ("net/mlx5e: RX, Add a prefetch
   command for small L1_CACHE_BYTES") in net-next. Resolve the two locations by retaining
   net_prefetch() and taking xsk_buff_dma_sync_for_cpu() from bpf-next. Should look like:

        [...]
        xdp_set_data_meta_invalid(xdp);
        xsk_buff_dma_sync_for_cpu(xdp, rq-&gt;xsk_pool);
        net_prefetch(xdp-&gt;data);
        [...]

We've added 133 non-merge commits during the last 14 day(s) which contain
a total of 246 files changed, 13832 insertions(+), 3105 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Initial support for sleepable BPF programs along with bpf_copy_from_user() helper
   for tracing to reliably access user memory, from Alexei Starovoitov.

2) Add BPF infra for writing and parsing TCP header options, from Martin KaFai Lau.

3) bpf_d_path() helper for returning full path for given 'struct path', from Jiri Olsa.

4) AF_XDP support for shared umems between devices and queues, from Magnus Karlsson.

5) Initial prep work for full BPF-to-BPF call support in libbpf, from Andrii Nakryiko.

6) Generalize bpf_sk_storage map &amp; add local storage for inodes, from KP Singh.

7) Implement sockmap/hash updates from BPF context, from Lorenz Bauer.

8) BPF xor verification for scalar types &amp; add BPF link iterator, from Yonghong Song.

9) Use target's prog type for BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT prog verification, from Udip Pant.

10) Rework BPF tracing samples to use libbpf loader, from Daniel T. Lee.

11) Fix xdpsock sample to really cycle through all buffers, from Weqaar Janjua.

12) Improve type safety for tun/veth XDP frame handling, from Maciej Żenczykowski.

13) Various smaller cleanups and improvements all over the place.

<id>6b0a249a301e2af9adda84adbced3a2988248b95</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch implemented bpf_link callback functions
show_fdinfo and fill_link_info to support link_query
interface.

The general interface for show_fdinfo and fill_link_info
will print/fill the target_name. Each targets can
register show_fdinfo and fill_link_info callbacks
to print/fill more target specific information.

For example, the below is a fdinfo result for a bpf
task iterator.
  $ cat /proc/1749/fdinfo/7
  pos:    0
  flags:  02000000
  mnt_id: 14

Note that `bpftool prog` actually calls a task_file bpf iterator
program to establish an association between prog/map/link/btf anon
files and processes.

In the case where the above rcu stall occured, we had a process
having 1587 tasks and each task having roughly 81305 files.
This implied 129 million bpf prog invocations. Unfortunwtely none of
these files are prog/map/link/btf files so bpf iterator/prog needs
to traverse all these files and not able to return to user space
since there are no seq_file buffer overflow.

This patch fixed the issue in bpf_seq_read() to limit the number
of visited objects. If the maximum number of visited objects is
reached, no more objects will be visited in the current syscall.
If there is nothing written in the seq_file buffer, -EAGAIN will
return to the user so user can try again.

The maximum number of visited objects is set at 1 million.
In our Intel Xeon D-2191 2.3GHZ 18-core server, bpf_seq_read()
visiting 1 million files takes around 0.18 seconds.

We did not use cond_resched() since for some iterators, e.g.,
netlink iterator, where rcu read_lock critical section spans between
consecutive seq_ops-&gt;next(), which makes impossible to do cond_resched()
in the key while loop of function bpf_seq_read().

Note that `bpftool prog` actually calls a task_file bpf iterator
program to establish an association between prog/map/link/btf anon
files and processes.

In the case where the above rcu stall occured, we had a process
having 1587 tasks and each task having roughly 81305 files.
This implied 129 million bpf prog invocations. Unfortunwtely none of
these files are prog/map/link/btf files so bpf iterator/prog needs
to traverse all these files and not able to return to user space
since there are no seq_file buffer overflow.

This patch fixed the issue in bpf_seq_read() to limit the number
of visited objects. If the maximum number of visited objects is
reached, no more objects will be visited in the current syscall.
If there is nothing written in the seq_file buffer, -EAGAIN will
return to the user so user can try again.

The maximum number of visited objects is set at 1 million.
In our Intel Xeon D-2191 2.3GHZ 18-core server, bpf_seq_read()
visiting 1 million files takes around 0.18 seconds.

We did not use cond_resched() since for some iterators, e.g.,
netlink iterator, where rcu read_lock critical section spans between
consecutive seq_ops-&gt;next(), which makes impossible to do cond_resched()
in the key while loop of function bpf_seq_read().

<title>bpf: Change uapi for bpf iterator map elements</title>

Commit a5cbe05a6673 ("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-&gt;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.

<id>a5cbe05a6673b85bed2a63ffcfea6a96c6410cff</id>
<content type='text'>
The bpf iterator for map elements are implemented.
The bpf program will receive four parameters:
  bpf_iter_meta *meta: the meta data
  bpf_map *map:        the bpf_map whose elements are traversed
  void *key:           the key of one element
  void *value:         the value of the same element

Here, meta and map pointers are always valid, and
key has register type PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF_OR_NULL and
value has register type PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF_OR_NULL.
The kernel will track the access range of key and value
during verification time. Later, these values will be compared
against the values in the actual map to ensure all accesses
are within range.

A new field iter_seq_info is added to bpf_map_ops which
is used to add map type specific information, i.e., seq_ops,
init/fini seq_file func and seq_file private data size.
Subsequent patches will have actual implementation
for bpf_map_ops-&gt;iter_seq_info.

In user space, BPF_ITER_LINK_MAP_FD needs to be
specified in prog attr-&gt;link_create.flags, which indicates
that attr-&gt;link_create.target_fd is a map_fd.
The reason for such an explicit flag is for possible
future cases where one bpf iterator may allow more than
one possible customization, e.g., pid and cgroup id for
task_file.

Current kernel internal implementation only allows
the target to register at most one required bpf_iter_link_info.
To support the above case, optional bpf_iter_link_info's
are needed, the target can be extended to register such link
infos, and user provided link_info needs to match one of
target supported ones.

This patch refactored target bpf_iter_init_seq_priv_t callback
function to accept additional information. This will be needed
in later patches for map element targets since a particular
map should be passed to traverse elements for that particular
map. In the future, other information may be passed to target
as well, e.g., pid, cgroup id, etc. to customize the iterator.

There is no functionality change for this patch.
Struct bpf_iter_reg is used to register a bpf_iter target,
which includes information for both prog_load, link_create
and seq_file creation.

This patch puts fields related seq_file creation into
a different structure. This will be useful for map
elements iterator where one iterator covers different
map types and different map types may have different
seq_ops, init/fini private_data function and
private_data size.

Commit b121b341e598 ("bpf: Add PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL
support") adds a field btf_id_or_null_non0_off to
bpf_prog-&gt;aux structure to indicate that the
first ctx argument is PTR_TO_BTF_ID reg_type and
all others are PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL.
This approach does not really scale if we have
other different reg types in the future, e.g.,
a pointer to a buffer.

This patch enables bpf_iter targets registering ctx argument
reg types which may be different from the default one.
For example, for pointers to structures, the default reg_type
is PTR_TO_BTF_ID for tracing program. The target can register
a particular pointer type as PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL which can
be used by the verifier to enforce accesses.
