      libbpf: Add support for extracting kernel symbol addresses · 1c0c7074
      Andrii Nakryiko authored
      Add support for another (in addition to existing Kconfig) special kind of
      externs in BPF code, kernel symbol externs. Such externs allow BPF code to
      "know" kernel symbol address and either use it for comparisons with kernel
      data structures (e.g., struct file's f_op pointer, to distinguish different
      kinds of file), or, with the help of bpf_probe_user_kernel(), to follow
      pointers and read data from global variables. Kernel symbol addresses are
      found through /proc/kallsyms, which should be present in the system.
      
      Currently, such kernel symbol variables are typeless: they have to be defined
      as `extern const void <symbol>` and the only operation you can do (in C code)
      with them is to take its address. Such extern should reside in a special
      section '.ksyms'. bpf_helpers.h header provides __ksym macro for this. Strong
      vs weak semantics stays the same as with Kconfig externs. If symbol is not
      found in /proc/kallsyms, this will be a failure for strong (non-weak) extern,
      but will be defaulted to 0 for weak externs.
      
      If the same symbol is defined multiple times in /proc/kallsyms, then it will
      be error if any of the associated addresses differs. In that case, address is
      ambiguous, so libbpf falls on the side of caution, rather than confusing user
      with randomly chosen address.
      
      In the future, once kernel is extended with variables BTF information, such
      ksym externs will be supported in a typed version, which will allow BPF
      program to read variable's contents directly, similarly to how it's done for
      fentry/fexit input arguments.

      Andrii Nakryiko authored
      Switch existing Kconfig externs to be just one of few possible kinds of more
      generic externs. This refactoring is in preparation for ksymbol extern
      support, added in the follow up patch. There are no functional changes
      intended.

      libbpf: Add a bunch of attribute getters/setters for map definitions · 1bdb6c9a
      Andrii Nakryiko authored
      Add a bunch of getter for various aspects of BPF map. Some of these attribute
      (e.g., key_size, value_size, type, etc) are available right now in struct
      bpf_map_def, but this patch adds getter allowing to fetch them individually.
      bpf_map_def approach isn't very scalable, when ABI stability requirements are
      taken into account. It's much easier to extend libbpf and add support for new
      features, when each aspect of BPF map has separate getter/setter.
      
      Getters follow the common naming convention of not explicitly having "get" in
      its name: bpf_map__type() returns map type, bpf_map__key_size() returns
      key_size. Setters, though, explicitly have set in their name:
      bpf_map__set_type(), bpf_map__set_key_size().
      
      This patch ensures we now have a getter and a setter for the following
      map attributes:
        - type;
        - max_entries;
        - map_flags;
        - numa_node;
        - key_size;
        - value_size;
        - ifindex.
      
      bpf_map__resize() enforces unnecessary restriction of max_entries > 0. It is
      unnecessary, because libbpf actually supports zero max_entries for some cases
      (e.g., for PERF_EVENT_ARRAY map) and treats it specially during map creation
      time. To allow setting max_entries=0, new bpf_map__set_max_entries() setter is
      added. bpf_map__resize()'s behavior is preserved for backwards compatibility
      reasons.
      
      Map ifindex getter is added as well. There is a setter already, but no
      corresponding getter. Fix this assymetry as well. bpf_map__set_ifindex()
      itself is converted from void function into error-returning one, similar to
      other setters. The only error returned right now is -EBUSY, if BPF map is
      already loaded and has corresponding FD.
      
      One lacking attribute with no ability to get/set or even specify it
      declaratively is numa_node. This patch fixes this gap and both adds
      programmatic getter/setter, as well as adds support for numa_node field in
      BTF-defined map.

      bpf: Support access to bpf map fields · 41c48f3a
      Andrey Ignatov authored
      There are multiple use-cases when it's convenient to have access to bpf
      map fields, both `struct bpf_map` and map type specific struct-s such as
      `struct bpf_array`, `struct bpf_htab`, etc.
      
      For example while working with sock arrays it can be necessary to
      calculate the key based on map->max_entries (some_hash % max_entries).
      Currently this is solved by communicating max_entries via "out-of-band"
      channel, e.g. via additional map with known key to get info about target
      map. That works, but is not very convenient and error-prone while
      working with many maps.
      
      In other cases necessary data is dynamic (i.e. unknown at loading time)
      and it's impossible to get it at all. For example while working with a
      hash table it can be convenient to know how much capacity is already
      used (bpf_htab.count.counter for BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC case).
      
      At the same time kernel knows this info and can provide it to bpf
      program.
      
      Fill this gap by adding support to access bpf map fields from bpf
      program for both `struct bpf_map` and map type specific fields.
      
      Support is implemented via btf_struct_access() so that a user can define
      their own `struct bpf_map` or map type specific struct in their program
      with only necessary fields and preserve_access_index attribute, cast a
      map to this struct and use a field.
      
      For example:
      
      	struct bpf_map {
      		__u32 max_entries;
      	} __attribute__((preserve_access_index));
      
      	struct bpf_array {
      		struct bpf_map map;
      		__u32 elem_size;
      	} __attribute__((preserve_access_index));
      
      	struct {
      		__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY);
      		__uint(max_entries, 4);
      		__type(key, __u32);
      		__type(value, __u32);
      	} m_array SEC(".maps");
      
      	SEC("cgroup_skb/egress")
      	int cg_skb(void *ctx)
      	{
      		struct bpf_array *array = (struct bpf_array *)&m_array;
      		struct bpf_map *map = (struct bpf_map *)&m_array;
      
      		/* .. use map->max_entries or array->map.max_entries .. */
      	}
      
      Similarly to other btf_struct_access() use-cases (e.g. struct tcp_sock
      in net/ipv4/bpf_tcp_ca.c) the patch allows access to any fields of
      corresponding struct. Only reading from map fields is supported.
      
      For btf_struct_access() to work there should be a way to know btf id of
      a struct that corresponds to a map type. To get btf id there should be a
      way to get a stringified name of map-specific struct, such as
      "bpf_array", "bpf_htab", etc for a map type. Two new fields are added to
      `struct bpf_map_ops` to handle it:
      * .map_btf_name keeps a btf name of a struct returned by map_alloc();
      * .map_btf_id is used to cache btf id of that struct.
      
      To make btf ids calculation cheaper they're calculated once while
      preparing btf_vmlinux and cached same way as it's done for btf_id field
      of `struct bpf_func_proto`
      
      While calculating btf ids, struct names are NOT checked for collision.
      Collisions will be checked as a part of the work to prepare btf ids used
      in verifier in compile time that should land soon. The only known
      collision for `struct bpf_htab` (kernel/bpf/hashtab.c vs
      net/core/sock_map.c) was fixed earlier.
      
      Both new fields .map_btf_name and .map_btf_id must be set for a map type
      for the feature to work. If neither is set for a map type, verifier will
      return ENOTSUPP on a try to access map_ptr of corresponding type. If
      just one of them set, it's verifier misconfiguration.
      
      Only `struct bpf_array` for BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY and `struct bpf_htab` for
      BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH are supported by this patch. Other map types will be
      supported separately.
      
      The feature is available only for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y and gated by
      perfmon_capable() so that unpriv programs won't have access to bpf map
      fields.

      bpf: Rename bpf_htab to bpf_shtab in sock_map · 032a6b35
      Andrey Ignatov authored
      There are two different `struct bpf_htab` in bpf code in the following
      files:
      - kernel/bpf/hashtab.c
      - net/core/sock_map.c
      
      It makes it impossible to find proper btf_id by name = "bpf_htab" and
      kind = BTF_KIND_STRUCT what is needed to support access to map ptr so
      that bpf program can access `struct bpf_htab` fields.
      
      To make it possible one of the struct-s should be renamed, sock_map.c
      looks like a better candidate for rename since it's specialized version
      of hashtab.
      
      Rename it to bpf_shtab ("sh" stands for Sock Hash).

      bpf: Switch btf_parse_vmlinux to btf_find_by_name_kind · a2d0d62f

      btf_parse_vmlinux() implements manual search for struct bpf_ctx_convert
      since at the time of implementing btf_find_by_name_kind() was not

      Later btf_find_by_name_kind() was introduced in 27ae7997 ("bpf:
      Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS"). It provides similar search
      functionality and can be leveraged in btf_parse_vmlinux(). Do it.

      Pull AFS fixes from David Howells:
       "I've managed to get xfstests kind of working with afs. Here are a set
        of patches that fix most of the bugs found.
      
        There are a number of primary issues:
      
         - Incorrect handling of mtime and non-handling of ctime. It might be
           argued, that the latter isn't a bug since the AFS protocol doesn't
           support ctime, but I should probably still update it locally.
      
         - Shared-write mmap, truncate and writeback bugs. This includes not
           changing i_size under the callback lock, overwriting local i_size
           with the reply from the server after a partial writeback, not
           limiting the writeback from an mmapped page to EOF.
      
         - Checks for an abort code indicating that the primary vnode in an
           operation was deleted by a third-party are done in the wrong place.
      
         - Silly rename bugs. This includes an incomplete conversion to the
           new operation handling, duplicate nlink handling, nlink changing
           not being done inside the callback lock and insufficient handling
           of third-party conflicting directory changes.
      
        And some secondary ones:
      
         - The UAEOVERFLOW abort code should map to EOVERFLOW not EREMOTEIO.
      
         - Remove a couple of unused or incompletely used bits.
      
         - Remove a couple of redundant success checks.
      
        These seem to fix all the data-corruption bugs found by
      
      	./check -afs -g quick
      
        along with the obvious silly rename bugs and time bugs.
      
        There are still some test failures, but they seem to fall into two
        classes: firstly, the authentication/security model is different to
        the standard UNIX model and permission is arbitrated by the server and
        cached locally; and secondly, there are a number of features that AFS
        does not support (such as mknod). But in these cases, the tests
        themselves need to be adapted or skipped.
      
        Using the in-kernel afs client with xfstests also found a bug in the
        AuriStor AFS server that has been fixed for a future release"

      Merge tag 'flex-array-conversions-5.8-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gustavoars/linux
      
      Pull flexible-array member conversions from Gustavo A. R. Silva:
       "Replace zero-length arrays with flexible-array members.
      
        Notice that all of these patches have been baking in linux-next for
        two development cycles now.
      
        There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
        having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
        Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
        cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no
        longer be used[2].
      
        C99 introduced “flexible array members”, which lacks a numeric size
        for the array declaration entirely:
      
              struct something {
                      size_t count;
                      struct foo items[];
              };
      
        This is the way the kernel expects dynamically sized trailing elements
        to be declared. It allows the compiler to generate errors when the
        flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which helps to
        prevent some kind of undefined behavior[3] bugs from being
        inadvertently introduced to the codebase.
      
        It also allows the compiler to correctly analyze array sizes (via
        sizeof(), CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, and CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS). For
        instance, there is no mechanism that warns us that the following
        application of the sizeof() operator to a zero-length array always
        results in zero:
      
              struct something {
                      size_t count;
                      struct foo items[0];
              };
      
              struct something *instance;
      
              instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, items, count), GFP_KERNEL);
              instance->count = count;
      
              size = sizeof(instance->items) * instance->count;
              memcpy(instance->items, source, size);
      
        At the last line of code above, size turns out to be zero, when one
        might have thought it represents the total size in bytes of the
        dynamic memory recently allocated for the trailing array items. Here
        are a couple examples of this issue[4][5].
      
        Instead, flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the
        sizeof() operator may not be applied[6], so any misuse of such
        operators will be immediately noticed at build time.
      
        The cleanest and least error-prone way to implement this is through
        the use of a flexible array member:
      
              struct something {
                      size_t count;
                      struct foo items[];
              };
      
              struct something *instance;
      
              instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, items, count), GFP_KERNEL);
              instance->count = count;
      
              size = sizeof(instance->items[0]) * instance->count;
              memcpy(instance->items, source, size);
      
        instead"

      x86/purgatory: Add -fno-stack-protector · ff58155c
      Arvind Sankar authored
      The purgatory Makefile removes -fstack-protector options if they were
      configured in, but does not currently add -fno-stack-protector.
      
      If gcc was configured with the --enable-default-ssp configure option,
      this results in the stack protector still being enabled for the
      purgatory (absent distro-specific specs files that might disable it
      again for freestanding compilations), if the main kernel is being
      compiled with stack protection enabled (if it's disabled for the main
      kernel, the top-level Makefile will add -fno-stack-protector).
      
      This will break the build since commit
        e4160b2e ("x86/purgatory: Fail the build if purgatory.ro has missing symbols")
      and prior to that would have caused runtime failure when trying to use
      kexec.
      
      Explicitly add -fno-stack-protector to avoid this, as done in other
      Makefiles that need to disable the stack protector.
