      bpf: Introduce BPF token object · 35f96de0
      Andrii Nakryiko authored 
      Add new kind of BPF kernel object, BPF token. BPF token is meant to
allow delegating privileged BPF functionality, like loading a BPF
program or creating a BPF map, from privileged process to a *trusted*
unprivileged process, all while having a good amount of control over which
privileged operations could be performed using provided BPF token.

This is achieved through mounting BPF FS instance with extra delegation
mount options, which determine what operations are delegatable, and also
constraining it to the owning user namespace (as mentioned in the
previous patch).

BPF token itself is just a derivative from BPF FS and can be created
through a new bpf() syscall command, BPF_TOKEN_CREATE, which accepts BPF
FS FD, which can be attained through open() API by opening BPF FS mount
point. Currently, BPF token "inherits" delegated command, map types,
prog type, and attach type bit sets from BPF FS as is. In the future,
having an BPF token as a separate object with its own FD, we can allow
to further restrict BPF token's allowable set of things either at the
creation time or after the fact, allowing the process to guard itself
further from unintentionally trying to load undesired kind of BPF
programs. But for now we keep things simple and just copy bit sets as is.

When BPF token is created from BPF FS mount, we take reference to the
BPF super block's owning user namespace, and then use that namespace for
checking all the {CAP_BPF, CAP_PERFMON, CAP_NET_ADMIN, CAP_SYS_ADMIN}
capabilities that are normally only checked against init userns (using
capable()), but now we check them using ns_capable() instead (if BPF
token is provided). See bpf_token_capable() for details.

Such setup means that BPF token in itself is not sufficient to grant BPF
functionality. User namespaced process has to *also* have necessary
combination of capabilities inside that user namespace. So while
previously CAP_BPF was useless when granted within user namespace, now
it gains a meaning and allows container managers and sys admins to have
a flexible control over which processes can and need to use BPF
functionality within the user namespace (i.e., container in practice).
And BPF FS delegation mount options and derived BPF tokens serve as
a per-container "flag" to grant overall ability to use bpf() (plus further
restrict on which parts of bpf() syscalls are treated as namespaced).

Note also, BPF_TOKEN_CREATE command itself requires ns_capable(CAP_BPF)
within the BPF FS owning user namespace, rounding up the ns_capable()
story of BPF token. Also creating BPF token in init user namespace is
currently not supported, given BPF token doesn't have any effect in init
user namespace anyways.

      bpf: Add BPF token delegation mount options to BPF FS · 6fe01d3c
      Andrii Nakryiko authored 
      Add few new mount options to BPF FS that allow to specify that a given
BPF FS instance allows creation of BPF token (added in the next patch),
and what sort of operations are allowed under BPF token. As such, we get
4 new mount options, each is a bit mask
  - `delegate_cmds` allow to specify which bpf() syscall commands are
    allowed with BPF token derived from this BPF FS instance;
  - if BPF_MAP_CREATE command is allowed, `delegate_maps` specifies
    a set of allowable BPF map types that could be created with BPF token;
  - if BPF_PROG_LOAD command is allowed, `delegate_progs` specifies
    a set of allowable BPF program types that could be loaded with BPF token;
  - if BPF_PROG_LOAD command is allowed, `delegate_attachs` specifies
    a set of allowable BPF program attach types that could be loaded with
    BPF token; delegate_progs and delegate_attachs are meant to be used
    together, as full BPF program type is, in general, determined
    through both program type and program attach type.

Currently, these mount options accept the following forms of values:
  - a special value "any", that enables all possible values of a given
  bit set;
  - numeric value (decimal or hexadecimal, determined by kernel
  automatically) that specifies a bit mask value directly;
  - all the values for a given mount option are combined, if specified
  multiple times. E.g., `mount -t bpf nodev /path/to/mount -o
  delegate_maps=0x1 -o delegate_maps=0x2` will result in a combined 0x3
  mask.

Ideally, more convenient (for humans) symbolic form derived from
corresponding UAPI enums would be accepted (e.g., `-o
delegate_progs=kprobe|tracepoint`) and I intend to implement this, but
it requires a bunch of UAPI header churn, so I postponed it until this
feature lands upstream or at least there is a definite consensus that
this feature is acceptable and is going to make it, just to minimize
amount of wasted effort and not increase amount of non-essential code to
be reviewed.

Attentive reader will notice that BPF FS is now marked as
FS_USERNS_MOUNT, which theoretically makes it mountable inside non-init
user namespace as long as the process has sufficient *namespaced*
capabilities within that user namespace. But in reality we still
restrict BPF FS to be mountable only by processes with CAP_SYS_ADMIN *in
init userns* (extra check in bpf_fill_super()). FS_USERNS_MOUNT is added
to allow creating BPF FS context object (i.e., fsopen("bpf")) from
inside unprivileged process inside non-init userns, to capture that
userns as the owning userns. It will still be required to pass this
context object back to privileged process to instantiate and mount it.

This manipulation is important, because capturing non-init userns as the
owning userns of BPF FS instance (super block) allows to use that userns
to constraint BPF token to that userns later on (see next patch). So
creating BPF FS with delegation inside unprivileged userns will restrict
derived BPF token objects to only "work" inside that intended userns,
making it scoped to a intended "container". Also, setting these
delegation options requires capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN), so unprivileged
process cannot set this up without involvement of a privileged process.

There is a set of selftests at the end of the patch set that simulates
this sequence of steps and validates that everything works as intended.
But careful review is requested to make sure there are no missed gaps in
the implementation and testing.

This somewhat subtle set of aspects is the result of previous
discussions ([0]) about various user namespace implications and
interactions with BPF token functionality and is necessary to contain
BPF token inside intended user namespace.

      bpf: Align CAP_NET_ADMIN checks with bpf_capable() approach · ed1ad5a7
      Andrii Nakryiko authored 
      Within BPF syscall handling code CAP_NET_ADMIN checks stand out a bit
compared to CAP_BPF and CAP_PERFMON checks. For the latter, CAP_BPF or
CAP_PERFMON are checked first, but if they are not set, CAP_SYS_ADMIN
takes over and grants whatever part of BPF syscall is required.

Similar kind of checks that involve CAP_NET_ADMIN are not so consistent.
One out of four uses does follow CAP_BPF/CAP_PERFMON model: during
BPF_PROG_LOAD, if the type of BPF program is "network-related" either
CAP_NET_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required to proceed.

But in three other cases CAP_NET_ADMIN is required even if CAP_SYS_ADMIN
is set:
  - when creating DEVMAP/XDKMAP/CPU_MAP maps;
  - when attaching CGROUP_SKB programs;
  - when handling BPF_PROG_QUERY command.

This patch is changing the latter three cases to follow BPF_PROG_LOAD
model, that is allowing to proceed under either CAP_NET_ADMIN or
CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

This also makes it cleaner in subsequent BPF token patches to switch
wholesomely to a generic bpf_token_capable(int cap) check, that always
falls back to CAP_SYS_ADMIN if requested capability is missing.

      libbpf: Ensure undefined bpf_attr field stays 0 · c9f11556
      Martin KaFai Lau authored 
      The commit 9e926acd ("libbpf: Find correct module BTFs for struct_ops maps and progs.")
sets a newly added field (value_type_btf_obj_fd) to -1 in libbpf when
the caller of the libbpf's bpf_map_create did not define this field by
passing a NULL "opts" or passing in a "opts" that does not cover this
new field. OPT_HAS(opts, field) is used to decide if the field is
defined or not:

	((opts) && opts->sz >= offsetofend(typeof(*(opts)), field))

Once OPTS_HAS decided the field is not defined, that field should
be set to 0. For this particular new field (value_type_btf_obj_fd),
its corresponding map_flags "BPF_F_VTYPE_BTF_OBJ_FD" is not set.
Thus, the kernel does not treat it as an fd field.

      bpf: Use r constraint instead of p constraint in selftests · bbc094b3
      Jose E. Marchesi authored 
      Some of the BPF selftests use the "p" constraint in inline assembly
snippets, for input operands for MOV (rN = rM) instructions.

This is mainly done via the __imm_ptr macro defined in
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/bpf_misc.h:

  #define __imm_ptr(name) [name]"p"(&name)

Example:

  int consume_first_item_only(void *ctx)
  {
        struct bpf_iter_num iter;
        asm volatile (
                /* create iterator */
                "r1 = %[iter];"
                [...]
                :
                : __imm_ptr(iter)
                : CLOBBERS);
        [...]
  }

The "p" constraint is a tricky one.  It is documented in the GCC manual
section "Simple Constraints":

  An operand that is a valid memory address is allowed.  This is for
  ``load address'' and ``push address'' instructions.

  p in the constraint must be accompanied by address_operand as the
  predicate in the match_operand.  This predicate interprets the mode
  specified in the match_operand as the mode of the memory reference for
  which the address would be valid.

There are two problems:

1. It is questionable whether that constraint was ever intended to be
   used in inline assembly templates, because its behavior really
   depends on compiler internals.  A "memory address" is not the same
   than a "memory operand" or a "memory reference" (constraint "m"), and
   in fact its usage in the template above results in an error in both
   x86_64-linux-gnu and bpf-unkonwn-none:

     foo.c: In function ‘bar’:
     foo.c:6:3: error: invalid 'asm': invalid expression as operand
        6 |   asm volatile ("r1 = %[jorl]" : : [jorl]"p"(&jorl));
          |   ^~~

   I would assume the same happens with aarch64, riscv, and most/all
   other targets in GCC, that do not accept operands of the form A + B
   that are not wrapped either in a const or in a memory reference.

   To avoid that error, the usage of the "p" constraint in internal GCC
   instruction templates is supposed to be complemented by the 'a'
   modifier, like in:

     asm volatile ("r1 = %a[jorl]" : : [jorl]"p"(&jorl));

   Internally documented (in GCC's final.cc) as:

     %aN means expect operand N to be a memory address
        (not a memory reference!) and print a reference
        to that address.

   That works because when the modifier 'a' is found, GCC prints an
   "operand address", which is not the same than an "operand".

   But...

2. Even if we used the internal 'a' modifier (we shouldn't) the 'rN =
   rM' instruction really requires a register argument.  In cases
   involving automatics, like in the examples above, we easily end with:

     bar:
        #APP
            r1 = r10-4
        #NO_APP

   In other cases we could conceibly also end with a 64-bit label that
   may overflow the 32-bit immediate operand of `rN = imm32'
   instructions:

        r1 = foo

   All of which is clearly wrong.

clang happens to do "the right thing" in the current usage of __imm_ptr
in the BPF tests, because even with -O2 it seems to "reload" the
fp-relative address of the automatic to a register like in:

  bar:
	r1 = r10
	r1 += -4
	#APP
	r1 = r1
	#NO_APP

Which is what GCC would generate with -O0.  Whether this is by chance
or by design, the compiler shouln't be expected to do that reload
driven by the "p" constraint.

This patch changes the usage of the "p" constraint in the BPF
selftests macros to use the "r" constraint instead.  If a register is
what is required, we should let the compiler know.

      bpf: fix constraint in test_tcpbpf_kern.c · 756e34da
      Jose E. Marchesi authored 
      GCC emits a warning:

  progs/test_tcpbpf_kern.c:60:9: error: ‘op’ is used uninitialized [-Werror=uninitialized]

when an uninialized op is used with a "+r" constraint.  The + modifier
means a read-write operand, but that operand in the selftest is just
written to.

This patch changes the selftest to use a "=r" constraint.  This
pacifies GCC.

      bpf: avoid VLAs in progs/test_xdp_dynptr.c · edb79903
      Jose E. Marchesi authored 
      VLAs are not supported by either the BPF port of clang nor GCC.  The
selftest test_xdp_dynptr.c contains the following code:

  const size_t tcphdr_sz = sizeof(struct tcphdr);
  const size_t udphdr_sz = sizeof(struct udphdr);
  const size_t ethhdr_sz = sizeof(struct ethhdr);
  const size_t iphdr_sz = sizeof(struct iphdr);
  const size_t ipv6hdr_sz = sizeof(struct ipv6hdr);

  [...]

  static __always_inline int handle_ipv4(struct xdp_md *xdp, struct bpf_dynptr *xdp_ptr)
  {
	__u8 eth_buffer[ethhdr_sz + iphdr_sz + ethhdr_sz];
	__u8 iph_buffer_tcp[iphdr_sz + tcphdr_sz];
	__u8 iph_buffer_udp[iphdr_sz + udphdr_sz];
	[...]
  }

The eth_buffer, iph_buffer_tcp and other automatics are fixed size
only if the compiler optimizes away the constant global variables.
clang does this, but GCC does not, turning these automatics into
variable length arrays.

This patch removes the global variables and turns these values into
preprocessor constants.  This makes the selftest to build properly
with GCC.

Tested in bpf-next master.

      libbpf: call dup2() syscall directly · bc308d01
      Andrii Nakryiko authored 
      We've ran into issues with using dup2() API in production setting, where
libbpf is linked into large production environment and ends up calling
unintended custom implementations of dup2(). These custom implementations
don't provide atomic FD replacement guarantees of dup2() syscall,
leading to subtle and hard to debug issues.

To prevent this in the future and guarantee that no libc implementation
will do their own custom non-atomic dup2() implementation, call dup2()
syscall directly with syscall(SYS_dup2).

Note that some architectures don't seem to provide dup2 and have dup3
instead. Try to detect and pick best syscall.
