[ Upstream commit af66bfd3c8538ed21cf72af18426fc4a408665cf ]

When removing the inner map from the outer map, the inner map will be
freed after one RCU grace period and one RCU tasks trace grace
period, so it is certain that the bpf program, which may access the
inner map, has exited before the inner map is freed.

However there is no need to wait for one RCU tasks trace grace period if
the outer map is only accessed by non-sleepable program. So adding
sleepable_refcnt in bpf_map and increasing sleepable_refcnt when adding
the outer map into env-&gt;used_maps for sleepable program. Although the
max number of bpf program is INT_MAX - 1, the number of bpf programs
which are being loaded may be greater than INT_MAX, so using atomic64_t
instead of atomic_t for sleepable_refcnt. When removing the inner map
from the outer map, using sleepable_refcnt to decide whether or not a
RCU tasks trace grace period is needed before freeing the inner map.

[ Upstream commit 876673364161da50eed6b472d746ef88242b2368 ]

When updating or deleting an inner map in map array or map htab, the map
may still be accessed by non-sleepable program or sleepable program.
However bpf_map_fd_put_ptr() decreases the ref-counter of the inner map
directly through bpf_map_put(), if the ref-counter is the last one
(which is true for most cases), the inner map will be freed by
ops-&gt;map_free() in a kworker. But for now, most .map_free() callbacks
don't use synchronize_rcu() or its variants to wait for the elapse of a
RCU grace period, so after the invocation of ops-&gt;map_free completes,
the bpf program which is accessing the inner map may incur
use-after-free problem.

Fix the free of inner map by invoking bpf_map_free_deferred() after both
one RCU grace period and one tasks trace RCU grace period if the inner
map has been removed from the outer map before. The deferment is
accomplished by using call_rcu() or call_rcu_tasks_trace() when
releasing the last ref-counter of bpf map. The newly-added rcu_head
field in bpf_map shares the same storage space with work field to
reduce the size of bpf_map.

[ Upstream commit 20c20bd11a0702ce4dc9300c3da58acf551d9725 ]

map is the pointer of outer map, and need_defer needs some explanation.
need_defer tells the implementation to defer the reference release of
the passed element and ensure that the element is still alive before
the bpf program, which may manipulate it, exits.

The following three cases will invoke map_fd_put_ptr() and different
need_defer values will be passed to these callers:

1) release the reference of the old element in the map during map update
   or map deletion. The release must be deferred, otherwise the bpf
   program may incur use-after-free problem, so need_defer needs to be
   true.
2) release the reference of the to-be-added element in the error path of
   map update. The to-be-added element is not visible to any bpf
   program, so it is OK to pass false for need_defer parameter.
3) release the references of all elements in the map during map release.
   Any bpf program which has access to the map must have been exited and
   released, so need_defer=false will be OK.

These two parameters will be used by the following patches to fix the
potential use-after-free problem for map-in-map.

Commit d937bc3449fa ("bpf: make uniform use of array-&gt;elem_size
everywhere in arraymap.c") changed array_map_gen_lookup to use
array-&gt;elem_size instead of round_up(map-&gt;value_size, 8) as the element
size when generating code to access a value in an array map.

array-&gt;elem_size, however, is not set by bpf_map_meta_alloc when
initializing an BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS or BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS.
This results in array_map_gen_lookup incorrectly outputting code that
always accesses index 0 in the array (as the index will be calculated
via a multiplication with the element size, which is incorrectly set to
0).

Set elem_size on the bpf_array object when allocating an array or hash
of maps to fix this.

<title>bpf: Remove btf_field_offs, use btf_record's fields instead</title>

<content type='text'>
The btf_field_offs struct contains (offset, size) for btf_record fields,
sorted by offset. btf_field_offs is always used in conjunction with
btf_record, which has btf_field 'fields' array with (offset, type), the
latter of which btf_field_offs' size is derived from via
btf_field_type_size.

This patch adds a size field to struct btf_field and sorts btf_record's
fields by offset, making it possible to get rid of btf_field_offs. Less
data duplication and less code complexity results.

Since btf_field_offs' lifetime closely followed the btf_record used to
populate it, most complexity wins are from removal of initialization
code like:

  if (btf_record_successfully_initialized) {
    foffs = btf_parse_field_offs(rec);
    if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(foffs))
      // free the btf_record and return err
  }

Other changes in this patch are pretty mechanical:

  * foffs-&gt;field_off[i] -&gt; rec-&gt;fields[i].offset
  * foffs-&gt;field_sz[i] -&gt; rec-&gt;fields[i].size
  * Sort rec-&gt;fields in btf_parse_fields before returning
    * It's possible that this is necessary independently of other
      changes in this patch. btf_record_find in syscall.c expects
      btf_record's fields to be sorted by offset, yet there's no
      explicit sorting of them before this patch, record's fields are
      populated in the order they're read from BTF struct definition.
      BTF docs don't say anything about the sortedness of struct fields.
  * All functions taking struct btf_field_offs * input now instead take
    struct btf_record *. All callsites of these functions already have
    access to the correct btf_record.

<title>bpf: Add comments for map BTF matching requirement for bpf_list_head</title>

The old behavior of bpf_map_meta_equal was that it compared timer_off
to be equal (but not spin_lock_off, because that was not allowed), and
did memcmp of kptr_off_tab.

Now, we memcmp the btf_record of two bpf_map structs, which has all
fields.

We preserve backwards compat as we kzalloc the array, so if only spin
lock and timer exist in map, we only compare offset while the rest of
unused members in the btf_field struct are zeroed out.

In case of kptr, btf and everything else is of vmlinux or module, so as
long type is same it will match, since kernel btf, module, dtor pointer
will be same across maps.

Now with list_head in the mix, things are a bit complicated. We
implicitly add a requirement that both BTFs are same, because struct
btf_field_list_head has btf and value_rec members.

We obviously shouldn't force BTFs to be equal by default, as that breaks
backwards compatibility.

Currently it is only implicitly required due to list_head matching
struct btf and value_rec member. value_rec points back into a btf_record
stashed in the map BTF (btf member of btf_field_list_head). So that
pointer and btf member has to match exactly.

Document all these subtle details so that things don't break in the
future when touching this code.

There is no need to restrict users from locking bpf_spin_lock in map
values of inner maps. Each inner map lookup gets a unique reg-&gt;id
assigned to the returned PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE which will be preserved after
the NULL check. Distinct lookups into different inner map get unique
IDs, and distinct lookups into same inner map also get unique IDs.

Hence, lift the restriction by removing the check return -ENOTSUPP in
map_in_map.c. Later commits will add comprehensive test cases to ensure

There is no need to restrict users from locking bpf_spin_lock in map
values of inner maps. Each inner map lookup gets a unique reg-&gt;id
assigned to the returned PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE which will be preserved after
the NULL check. Distinct lookups into different inner map get unique
IDs, and distinct lookups into same inner map also get unique IDs.

Hence, lift the restriction by removing the check return -ENOTSUPP in
map_in_map.c. Later commits will add comprehensive test cases to ensure
that invalid cases are rejected.

Far too much code simply assumes that both btf_record and btf_field_offs
are set to valid pointers together, or both are unset. They go together
hand in hand as btf_record describes the special fields and
btf_field_offs is compact representation for runtime copying/zeroing.

It is very difficult to make this clear in the code when the only
exception to this universal invariant is inner_map_meta which is used
as reg-&gt;map_ptr in the verifier. This is simply a bug waiting to happen,
as in verifier context we cannot easily distinguish if PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE
is coming from an inner map, and if we ever end up using field_offs for
any reason in the future, we will silently ignore the special fields for
inner map case (as NULL is not an error but unset field_offs).

Hence, simply copy field_offs from inner map together with btf_record.

While at it, refactor code to unwind properly on errors with gotos.

<title>bpf: Free inner_map_meta when btf_record_dup fails</title>

Whenever btf_record_dup fails, we must free inner_map_meta that was
allocated before.

This fixes a memory leak (in case of errors) during inner map creation.

<title>bpf: Consolidate spin_lock, timer management into btf_record</title>

Now that kptr_off_tab has been refactored into btf_record, and can hold
more than one specific field type, accomodate bpf_spin_lock and
bpf_timer as well.

While they don't require any more metadata than offset, having all
special fields in one place allows us to share the same code for
allocated user defined types and handle both map values and these
allocated objects in a similar fashion.

As an optimization, we still keep spin_lock_off and timer_off offsets in
the btf_record structure, just to avoid having to find the btf_field
struct each time their offset is needed. This is mostly needed to
manipulate such objects in a map value at runtime. It's ok to hardcode
just one offset as more than one field is disallowed.
