Add $(OUTPUT) prefix to testing_helpers.o, so it can be built out of tree when necessary. At the moment, in addition to being built in-tree even when out-of-tree is required, testing_helpers.o is not built with the right recipe when cross-building. For consistency the other helpers, cgroup_helpers and trace_helpers, can also be passed as objects instead of source. Use *_HELPERS variable to keep the Makefile readable.

Alexei Starovoitov says: ==================== From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> v4->v5: . Reduce number of memory allocations in candidate cache logic . Fix couple UAF issues . Add Andrii's patch to cleanup struct bpf_core_cand . More thorough tests . Planned followups: - support -v in lskel - move struct bpf_core_spec out of bpf_core_apply_relo_insn to reduce stack usage - implement bpf_core_types_are_compat v3->v4: . complete refactor of find candidates logic. Now it has small permanent cache. . Fix a bug in gen_loader related to attach_kind. . Fix BTF log size limit. . More tests. v2->v3: . addressed Andrii's feedback in every patch. New field in union bpf_attr changed from "core_relo" to "core_relos". . added one more test and checkpatch.pl-ed the set. v1->v2: . Refactor uapi to pass 'struct bpf_core_relo' from LLVM into libbpf and further into the kernel instead of bpf_core_apply_relo() bpf helper. Because of this change the CO-RE algorithm has an ability to log error and debug events through the standard bpf verifer log mechanism which was not possible with helper approach. . #define RELO_CORE macro was removed and replaced with btf_member_bit_offset() patch. This set introduces CO-RE support in the kernel. There are several reasons to add such support: 1. It's a step toward signed BPF programs. 2. It allows golang like languages that struggle to adopt libbpf to take advantage of CO-RE powers. 3. Currently the field accessed by 'ldx [R1 + 10]' insn is recognized by the verifier purely based on +10 offset. If R1 points to a union the verifier picks one of the fields at this offset. With CO-RE the kernel can disambiguate the field access. Alexei Starovoitov (16): libbpf: Replace btf__type_by_id() with btf_type_by_id(). bpf: Rename btf_member accessors. bpf: Prepare relo_core.c for kernel duty. bpf: Define enum bpf_core_relo_kind as uapi. bpf: Pass a set of bpf_core_relo-s to prog_load command. bpf: Adjust BTF log size limit. bpf: Add bpf_core_add_cands() and wire it into bpf_core_apply_relo_insn(). libbpf: Use CO-RE in the kernel in light skeleton. libbpf: Support init of inner maps in light skeleton. libbpf: Clean gen_loader's attach kind. selftests/bpf: Add lskel version of kfunc test. selftests/bpf: Improve inner_map test coverage. selftests/bpf: Convert map_ptr_kern test to use light skeleton. selftests/bpf: Additional test for CO-RE in the kernel. selftests/bpf: Revert CO-RE removal in test_ksyms_weak. selftests/bpf: Add CO-RE relocations to verifier scale test. ==================== Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org>

Without lskel the CO-RE relocations are processed by libbpf before any other work is done. Instead, when lskel is needed, remember relocation as RELO_CORE kind. Then when loader prog is generated for a given bpf program pass CO-RE relos of that program to gen loader via bpf_gen__record_relo_core(). The gen loader will remember them as-is and pass it later as-is into the kernel. The normal libbpf flow is to process CO-RE early before call relos happen. In case of gen_loader the core relos have to be added to other relos to be copied together when bpf static function is appended in different places to other main bpf progs. During the copy the append_subprog_relos() will adjust insn_idx for normal relos and for RELO_CORE kind too. When that is done each struct reloc_desc has good relos for specific main prog.

Given BPF program's BTF root type name perform the following steps: . search in vmlinux candidate cache. . if (present in cache and candidate list >= 1) return candidate list. . do a linear search through kernel BTFs for possible candidates. . regardless of number of candidates found populate vmlinux cache. . if (candidate list >= 1) return candidate list. . search in module candidate cache. . if (present in cache) return candidate list (even if list is empty). . do a linear search through BTFs of all kernel modules collecting candidates from all of them. . regardless of number of candidates found populate module cache. . return candidate list. Then wire the result into bpf_core_apply_relo_insn(). When BPF program is trying to CO-RE relocate a type that doesn't exist in either vmlinux BTF or in modules BTFs these steps will perform 2 cache lookups when cache is hit. Note the cache doesn't prevent the abuse by the program that might have lots of relocations that cannot be resolved. Hence cond_resched(). CO-RE in the kernel requires CAP_BPF, since BTF loading requires it.

struct bpf_core_relo is generated by llvm and processed by libbpf. It's a de-facto uapi. With CO-RE in the kernel the struct bpf_core_relo becomes uapi de-jure. Add an ability to pass a set of 'struct bpf_core_relo' to prog_load command and let the kernel perform CO-RE relocations. Note the struct bpf_line_info and struct bpf_func_info have the same layout when passed from LLVM to libbpf and from libbpf to the kernel except "insn_off" fields means "byte offset" when LLVM generates it. Then libbpf converts it to "insn index" to pass to the kernel. The struct bpf_core_relo's "insn_off" field is always "byte offset".

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 = &s->b[5]; This field access is encoded as "0:1:0:5" and spec len is 4.

To prepare relo_core.c to be compiled in the kernel and the user space replace btf__type_by_id with btf_type_by_id. In libbpf btf__type_by_id and btf_type_by_id have different behavior. bpf_core_apply_relo_insn() needs behavior of uapi btf__type_by_id vs internal btf_type_by_id, but type_id range check is already done in bpf_core_apply_relo(), so it's safe to replace it everywhere. The kernel btf_type_by_id() does the check anyway. It doesn't hurt.

Instead, jump directly to success case stores in case ret >= 0, else do the default 0 value store and jump over the success case. This is better in terms of readability.

Joanne Koong says: ==================== This patchset add a new helper, bpf_loop. One of the complexities of using for loops in bpf programs is that the verifier needs to ensure that in every possibility of the loop logic, the loop will always terminate. As such, there is a limit on how many iterations the loop can do. The bpf_loop helper moves the loop logic into the kernel and can thereby guarantee that the loop will always terminate. The bpf_loop helper simplifies a lot of the complexity the verifier needs to check, as well as removes the constraint on the number of loops able to be run. From the test results, we see that using bpf_loop in place of the traditional for loop led to a decrease in verification time and number of bpf instructions by ~99%. The benchmark results show that as the number of iterations increases, the overhead per iteration decreases. The high-level overview of the patches - Patch 1 - kernel-side + API changes for adding bpf_loop Patch 2 - tests Patch 3 - use bpf_loop in strobemeta + pyperf600 and measure verifier performance Patch 4 - benchmark for throughput + latency of bpf_loop call v3 -> v4: ~ Address nits: use usleep for triggering bpf programs, fix copyright style v2 -> v3: ~ Rerun benchmarks on physical machine, update results ~ Propagate original error codes in the verifier v1 -> v2: ~ Change helper name to bpf_loop (instead of bpf_for_each) ~ Set max nr_loops (~8 million loops) for bpf_loop call ~ Split tests + strobemeta/pyperf600 changes into two patches ~ Add new ops_report_final helper for outputting throughput and latency ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

The results are as follows: ~strobemeta~ Baseline verification time 6808200 usec stack depth 496 processed 554252 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 16 total_states 15878 peak_states 13489 mark_read 3110 #192 verif_scale_strobemeta:OK (unrolled loop) Using bpf_loop verification time 31589 usec stack depth 96+400 processed 1513 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 2 total_states 106 peak_states 106 mark_read 60 #193 verif_scale_strobemeta_bpf_loop:OK ~pyperf600~ Baseline verification time 29702486 usec stack depth 368 processed 626838 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 7 total_states 30368 peak_states 30279 mark_read 748 #182 verif_scale_pyperf600:OK (unrolled loop) Using bpf_loop verification time 148488 usec stack depth 320+40 processed 10518 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 10 total_states 705 peak_states 517 mark_read 38 #183 verif_scale_pyperf600_bpf_loop:OK Using the bpf_loop helper led to approximately a 99% decrease in the verification time and in the number of instructions.

This patch adds the kernel-side and API changes for a new helper function, bpf_loop: long bpf_loop(u32 nr_loops, void *callback_fn, void *callback_ctx, u64 flags); where long (*callback_fn)(u32 index, void *ctx); bpf_loop invokes the "callback_fn" **nr_loops** times or until the callback_fn returns 1. The callback_fn can only return 0 or 1, and this is enforced by the verifier. The callback_fn index is zero-indexed. A few things to please note: ~ The "u64 flags" parameter is currently unused but is included in case a future use case for it arises. ~ In the kernel-side implementation of bpf_loop (kernel/bpf/bpf_iter.c), bpf_callback_t is used as the callback function cast. ~ A program can have nested bpf_loop calls but the program must still adhere to the verifier constraint of its stack depth (the stack depth cannot exceed MAX_BPF_STACK)) ~ Recursive callback_fns do not pass the verifier, due to the call stack for these being too deep. ~ The next patch will include the tests and benchmark Signed-off-by: Joanne Koong <joannekoong@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Acked-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20211130030622.4131246-2-joannekoong@fb.com

filter.rst starts out documenting the classic BPF and then spills into introducing and documentating eBPF. Move the eBPF documentation into rwo new files under Documentation/bpf/ for the instruction set and the verifier and link to the BPF documentation from filter.rst.

The eBPF name has completely taken over from eBPF in general usage for the actual eBPF representation, or BPF for any general in-kernel use. Prune all remaining references to "internal BPF".
