Turn BPF_PROG_RUN into a proper always inlined function. No functional and
performance changes are intended, but it makes it much easier to understand
what's going on with how BPF programs are actually get executed. It's more
obvious what types and callbacks are expected. Also extra () around input
parameters can be dropped, as well as `__` variable prefixes intended to avoid
naming collisions, which makes the code simpler to read and write.

This refactoring also highlighted one extra issue. BPF_PROG_RUN is both
a macro and an enum value (BPF_PROG_RUN == BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN). Turning
BPF_PROG_RUN into a function causes naming conflict compilation error. So
rename BPF_PROG_RUN into lower-case bpf_prog_run(), similar to
bpf_prog_run_xdp(), bpf_prog_run_pin_on_cpu(), etc. All existing callers of
BPF_PROG_RUN, the macro, are switched to bpf_prog_run() explicitly.

<title>bpf: tcp: Support bpf_(get|set)sockopt in bpf tcp iter</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch allows bpf tcp iter to call bpf_(get|set)sockopt.
To allow a specific bpf iter (tcp here) to call a set of helpers,
get_func_proto function pointer is added to bpf_iter_reg.
The bpf iter is a tracing prog which currently requires
CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN, so this patch does not
impose other capability checks for bpf_(get|set)sockopt.

<title>bpf: Add bpf_for_each_map_elem() helper</title>

<content type='text'>
The bpf_for_each_map_elem() helper is introduced which
iterates all map elements with a callback function. The
helper signature looks like
  long bpf_for_each_map_elem(map, callback_fn, callback_ctx, flags)
and for each map element, the callback_fn will be called. For example,
like hashmap, the callback signature may look like
  long callback_fn(map, key, val, callback_ctx)

There are two known use cases for this. One is from upstream ([1]) where
a for_each_map_elem helper may help implement a timeout mechanism
in a more generic way. Another is from our internal discussion
for a firewall use case where a map contains all the rules. The packet
data can be compared to all these rules to decide allow or deny
the packet.

For array maps, users can already use a bounded loop to traverse
elements. Using this helper can avoid using bounded loop. For other
type of maps (e.g., hash maps) where bounded loop is hard or
impossible to use, this helper provides a convenient way to
operate on all elements.

For callback_fn, besides map and map element, a callback_ctx,
allocated on caller stack, is also passed to the callback
function. This callback_ctx argument can provide additional
input and allow to write to caller stack for output.

If the callback_fn returns 0, the helper will iterate through next
element if available. If the callback_fn returns 1, the helper
will stop iterating and returns to the bpf program. Other return
values are not used for now.

Currently, this helper is only available with jit. It is possible
to make it work with interpreter with so effort but I leave it
as the future work.

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.

Commit e679654a704e ("bpf: Fix a rcu_sched stall issue with

which is caused by bpf task_file iterator when running
"bpftool prog".

      entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

The fix is to limit the number of bpf program runs to be
one million. This fixed the program in most cases. But
we also found under heavy load, which can increase the wallclock
time for bpf_seq_read(), the warning may still be possible.

For example, calling bpf_delay() in the "while" loop of
bpf_seq_read(), which will introduce artificial delay,
the warning will show up in my qemu run.

  static unsigned q;
  volatile unsigned *p = &amp;q;
  volatile unsigned long long ll;
  static void bpf_delay(void)
  {
         int i, j;

         for (i = 0; i &lt; 10000; i++)
                 for (j = 0; j &lt; 10000; j++)
                         ll += *p;
  }

There are two ways to fix this issue. One is to reduce the above
one million threshold to say 100,000 and hopefully rcu warning will
not show up any more. Another is to introduce a target feature
which enables bpf_seq_read() calling cond_resched().

This patch took second approach as the first approach may cause
more -EAGAIN failures for read() syscalls. Note that not all bpf_iter
targets can permit cond_resched() in bpf_seq_read() as some, e.g.,
netlink seq iterator, rcu read lock critical section spans through
seq_ops-&gt;next() -&gt; seq_ops-&gt;show() -&gt; seq_ops-&gt;next().

For the kernel code with the above hack, "bpftool p" roughly takes
38 seconds to finish on my VM with 184 bpf program runs.
Using the following command, I am able to collect the number of
context switches:
   perf stat -e context-switches -- ./bpftool p &gt;&amp; log
Without this patch,
   69      context-switches
With this patch,
   75      context-switches
This patch added additional 6 context switches, roughly every 6 seconds
to reschedule, to avoid lengthy no-rescheduling which may cause the
above RCU warnings.

which enables bpf_seq_read() calling cond_resched().

This patch took second approach as the first approach may cause
more -EAGAIN failures for read() syscalls. Note that not all bpf_iter
targets can permit cond_resched() in bpf_seq_read() as some, e.g.,
netlink seq iterator, rcu read lock critical section spans through
seq_ops-&gt;next() -&gt; seq_ops-&gt;show() -&gt; seq_ops-&gt;next().

For the kernel code with the above hack, "bpftool p" roughly takes
38 seconds to finish on my VM with 184 bpf program runs.
Using the following command, I am able to collect the number of
context switches:
   perf stat -e context-switches -- ./bpftool p &gt;&amp; log
Without this patch,
   69      context-switches
With this patch,
   75      context-switches
This patch added additional 6 context switches, roughly every 6 seconds
to reschedule, to avoid lengthy no-rescheduling which may cause the
above RCU warnings.

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.

<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

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().
