      libbpf: Support sleepable struct_ops.s section · 913b2255
      David Vernet authored
      In a prior change, the verifier was updated to support sleepable
      BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS programs. A caller could set the program as
      sleepable with bpf_program__set_flags(), but it would be more ergonomic
      and more in-line with other sleepable program types if we supported
      suffixing a struct_ops section name with .s to indicate that it's
      sleepable.

      bpf: Allow BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS programs to be sleepable · 1e12d3ef
      David Vernet authored
      BPF struct_ops programs currently cannot be marked as sleepable. This
      need not be the case -- struct_ops programs can be sleepable, and e.g.
      invoke kfuncs that export the KF_SLEEPABLE flag. So as to allow future
      struct_ops programs to invoke such kfuncs, this patch updates the
      verifier to allow struct_ops programs to be sleepable. A follow-on patch
      will add support to libbpf for specifying struct_ops.s as a sleepable
      struct_ops program, and then another patch will add testcases to the
      dummy_st_ops selftest suite which test sleepable struct_ops behavior.

      selftests/bpf: Fix vmtest static compilation error · 2514a312
      Daniel T. Lee authored
      As stated in README.rst, in order to resolve errors with linker errors,
      'LDLIBS=-static' should be used. Most problems will be solved by this
      option, but in the case of urandom_read, this won't fix the problem. So
      the Makefile is currently implemented to strip the 'static' option when
      compiling the urandom_read. However, stripping this static option isn't
      configured properly on $(LDLIBS) correctly, which is now causing errors
      on static compilation.
      
          # LDLIBS=-static ./vmtest.sh
          ld.lld: error: attempted static link of dynamic object liburandom_read.so
          clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
          make: *** [Makefile:190: /linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/urandom_read] Error 1
          make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
      
      This commit fixes this problem by configuring the strip with $(LDLIBS).

      tools/resolve_btfids: Alter how HOSTCC is forced · 13e07691
      Ian Rogers authored
      HOSTCC is always wanted when building. Setting CC to HOSTCC happens
      after tools/scripts/Makefile.include is included, meaning flags are
      set assuming say CC is gcc, but then it can be later set to HOSTCC
      which may be clang. tools/scripts/Makefile.include is needed for host
      set up and common macros in objtool's Makefile. Rather than override
      CC to HOSTCC, just pass CC as HOSTCC to Makefile.build, the libsubcmd
      builds and the linkage step. This means the Makefiles don't see things
      like CC changing and tool flag determination, and similar, work
      properly.
      
      Also, clear the passed subdir as otherwise an outer build may break by
      inadvertently passing an inappropriate value.

      This series is based off of commit b613d335 ("bpf: Allow trusted
      args to walk struct when checking BTF IDs").
      
      Changelog:
      ----------
      v2 -> v3:
      - Rebase onto master (commit described above). Only conflict that
        required resolution was updating the task_kfunc selftest suite error
        message location.
      - Put copyright onto one line in kernel/bpf/cpumask.c.
      - Remove now-unneeded pid-checking logic from
        progs/nested_trust_success.c.
      - Fix a couple of small grammatical typos in documentation.
      
      v1 -> v2:
      - Put back 'static' keyword in bpf_find_btf_id()
        (kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>)
      - Surround cpumask kfuncs in __diag() blocks to avoid no-prototype build
        warnings (kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>)
      - Enable ___init suffixes to a type definition to signal that a type is
        a nocast alias of another type. That is, that when passed to a kfunc
        that expects one of the two types, the verifier will reject the other
        even if they're equivalent according to the C standard (Kumar and
        Alexei)
      - Reject NULL for all trusted args, not just PTR_TO_MEM (Kumar)
      - Reject both NULL and PTR_MAYBE_NULL for all trusted args (Kumar and
        Alexei )
      - Improve examples given in cpumask documentation (Alexei)
      - Use __success macro for nested_trust test (Alexei)
      - Fix comment typo in struct bpf_cpumask comment header.
      - Fix another example in the bpf_cpumask doc examples.
      - Add documentation for ___init suffix change mentioned above.

      bpf/docs: Document the nocast aliasing behavior of ___init · 027bdec8
      David Vernet authored
      When comparing BTF IDs for pointers being passed to kfunc arguments, the
      verifier will allow pointer types that are equivalent according to the C
      standard. For example, for:
      
      struct bpf_cpumask {
      	cpumask_t cpumask;
      	refcount_t usage;
      };
      
      The verifier will allow a struct bpf_cpumask * to be passed to a kfunc
      that takes a const struct cpumask * (cpumask_t is a typedef of struct
      cpumask). The exception to this rule is if a type is suffixed with
      ___init, such as:
      
      struct nf_conn___init {
      	struct nf_conn ct;
      };
      
      The verifier will _not_ allow a struct nf_conn___init * to be passed to
      a kfunc that expects a struct nf_conn *. This patch documents this
      behavior in the kfuncs documentation page.

      bpf: Enable cpumasks to be queried and used as kptrs · 516f4d33
      David Vernet authored
      Certain programs may wish to be able to query cpumasks. For example, if
      a program that is tracing percpu operations wishes to track which tasks
      end up running on which CPUs, it could be useful to associate that with
      the tasks' cpumasks. Similarly, programs tracking NUMA allocations, CPU
      scheduling domains, etc, could potentially benefit from being able to
      see which CPUs a task could be migrated to.
      
      This patch enables these types of use cases by introducing a series of
      bpf_cpumask_* kfuncs. Amongst these kfuncs, there are two separate
      "classes" of operations:
      
      1. kfuncs which allow the caller to allocate and mutate their own
         cpumask kptrs in the form of a struct bpf_cpumask * object. Such
         kfuncs include e.g. bpf_cpumask_create() to allocate the cpumask, and
         bpf_cpumask_or() to mutate it. "Regular" cpumasks such as p->cpus_ptr
         may not be passed to these kfuncs, and the verifier will ensure this
         is the case by comparing BTF IDs.
      
      2. Read-only operations which operate on const struct cpumask *
         arguments. For example, bpf_cpumask_test_cpu(), which tests whether a
         CPU is set in the cpumask. Any trusted struct cpumask * or struct
         bpf_cpumask * may be passed to these kfuncs. The verifier allows
         struct bpf_cpumask * even though the kfunc is defined with struct
         cpumask * because the first element of a struct bpf_cpumask is a
         cpumask_t, so it is safe to cast.
      
      A follow-on patch will add selftests which validate these kfuncs, and
      another will document them.

      bpf: Disallow NULLable pointers for trusted kfuncs · caf713c3
      David Vernet authored
      KF_TRUSTED_ARGS kfuncs currently have a subtle and insidious bug in
      validating pointers to scalars. Say that you have a kfunc like the
      following, which takes an array as the first argument:
      
      bool bpf_cpumask_empty(const struct cpumask *cpumask)
      {
      	return cpumask_empty(cpumask);
      }
      
      ...
      BTF_ID_FLAGS(func, bpf_cpumask_empty, KF_TRUSTED_ARGS)
      ...
      
      If a BPF program were to invoke the kfunc with a NULL argument, it would
      crash the kernel. The reason is that struct cpumask is defined as a
      bitmap, which is itself defined as an array, and is accessed as a memory
      address by bitmap operations. So when the verifier analyzes the
      register, it interprets it as a pointer to a scalar struct, which is an
      array of size 8. check_mem_reg() then sees that the register is NULL and
      returns 0, and the kfunc crashes when it passes it down to the cpumask
      wrappers.
      
      To fix this, this patch adds a check for KF_ARG_PTR_TO_MEM which
      verifies that the register doesn't contain a possibly-NULL pointer if
      the kfunc is KF_TRUSTED_ARGS.

      bpf: Allow trusted args to walk struct when checking BTF IDs · b613d335
      David Vernet authored
      When validating BTF types for KF_TRUSTED_ARGS kfuncs, the verifier
      currently enforces that the top-level type must match when calling
      the kfunc. In other words, the verifier does not allow the BPF program
      to pass a bitwise equivalent struct, despite it being allowed according
      to the C standard.
      
      For example, if you have the following type:
      
      struct  nf_conn___init {
      	struct nf_conn ct;
      };
      
      The C standard stipulates that it would be safe to pass a struct
      nf_conn___init to a kfunc expecting a struct nf_conn. The verifier
      currently disallows this, however, as semantically kfuncs may want to
      enforce that structs that have equivalent types according to the C
      standard, but have different BTF IDs, are not able to be passed to
      kfuncs expecting one or the other. For example, struct nf_conn___init
      may not be queried / looked up, as it is allocated but may not yet be
      fully initialized.
      
      On the other hand, being able to pass types that are equivalent
      according to the C standard will be useful for other types of kfunc /
      kptrs enabled by BPF.  For example, in a follow-on patch, a series of
      kfuncs will be added which allow programs to do bitwise queries on
      cpumasks that are either allocated by the program (in which case they'll
      be a 'struct bpf_cpumask' type that wraps a cpumask_t as its first
      element), or a cpumask that was allocated by the main kernel (in which
      case it will just be a straight cpumask_t, as in task->cpus_ptr).
      
      Having the two types of cpumasks allows us to distinguish between the
      two for when a cpumask is read-only vs. mutatable. A struct bpf_cpumask
      can be mutated by e.g. bpf_cpumask_clear(), whereas a regular cpumask_t
      cannot be. On the other hand, a struct bpf_cpumask can of course be
      queried in the exact same manner as a cpumask_t, with e.g.
      bpf_cpumask_test_cpu().
      
      If we were to enforce that top level types match, then a user that's
      passing a struct bpf_cpumask to a read-only cpumask_t argument would
      have to cast with something like bpf_cast_to_kern_ctx() (which itself
      would need to be updated to expect the alias, and currently it only
      accommodates a single alias per prog type). Additionally, not specifying
      KF_TRUSTED_ARGS is not an option, as some kfuncs take one argument as a
      struct bpf_cpumask *, and another as a struct cpumask *
      (i.e. cpumask_t).
      
      In order to enable this, this patch relaxes the constraint that a
      KF_TRUSTED_ARGS kfunc must have strict type matching, and instead only
      enforces strict type matching if a type is observed to be a "no-cast
      alias" (i.e., that the type names are equivalent, but one is suffixed
      with ___init).
      
      Additionally, in order to try and be conservative and match existing
      behavior / expectations, this patch also enforces strict type checking
      for acquire kfuncs. We were already enforcing it for release kfuncs, so
      this should also improve the consistency of the semantics for kfuncs.

      bpf: Enable annotating trusted nested pointers · 57539b1c
      David Vernet authored
      In kfuncs, a "trusted" pointer is a pointer that the kfunc can assume is
      safe, and which the verifier will allow to be passed to a
      KF_TRUSTED_ARGS kfunc. Currently, a KF_TRUSTED_ARGS kfunc disallows any
      pointer to be passed at a nonzero offset, but sometimes this is in fact
      safe if the "nested" pointer's lifetime is inherited from its parent.
      For example, the const cpumask_t *cpus_ptr field in a struct task_struct
      will remain valid until the task itself is destroyed, and thus would
      also be safe to pass to a KF_TRUSTED_ARGS kfunc.
      
      While it would be conceptually simple to enable this by using BTF tags,
      gcc unfortunately does not yet support this. In the interim, this patch
      enables support for this by using a type-naming convention. A new
      BTF_TYPE_SAFE_NESTED macro is defined in verifier.c which allows a
      developer to specify the nested fields of a type which are considered
      trusted if its parent is also trusted. The verifier is also updated to
      account for this. A patch with selftests will be added in a follow-on
      change, along with documentation for this feature.
