      bpf: Support bpf program calling kernel function · e6ac2450
      Martin KaFai Lau authored 
      
This patch adds support to BPF verifier to allow bpf program calling
kernel function directly.

The use case included in this set is to allow bpf-tcp-cc to directly
call some tcp-cc helper functions (e.g. "tcp_cong_avoid_ai()").  Those
functions have already been used by some kernel tcp-cc implementations.

This set will also allow the bpf-tcp-cc program to directly call the
kernel tcp-cc implementation,  For example, a bpf_dctcp may only want to
implement its own dctcp_cwnd_event() and reuse other dctcp_*() directly
from the kernel tcp_dctcp.c instead of reimplementing (or
copy-and-pasting) them.

The tcp-cc kernel functions mentioned above will be white listed
for the struct_ops bpf-tcp-cc programs to use in a later patch.
The white listed functions are not bounded to a fixed ABI contract.
Those functions have already been used by the existing kernel tcp-cc.
If any of them has changed, both in-tree and out-of-tree kernel tcp-cc
implementations have to be changed.  The same goes for the struct_ops
bpf-tcp-cc programs which have to be adjusted accordingly.

This patch is to make the required changes in the bpf verifier.

First change is in btf.c, it adds a case in "btf_check_func_arg_match()".
When the passed in "btf->kernel_btf == true", it means matching the
verifier regs' states with a kernel function.  This will handle the
PTR_TO_BTF_ID reg.  It also maps PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON, PTR_TO_SOCKET,
and PTR_TO_TCP_SOCK to its kernel's btf_id.

In the later libbpf patch, the insn calling a kernel function will
look like:

insn->code == (BPF_JMP | BPF_CALL)
insn->src_reg == BPF_PSEUDO_KFUNC_CALL /* <- new in this patch */
insn->imm == func_btf_id /* btf_id of the running kernel */

[ For the future calling function-in-kernel-module support, an array
  of module btf_fds can be passed at the load time and insn->off
  can be used to index into this array. ]

At the early stage of verifier, the verifier will collect all kernel
function calls into "struct bpf_kfunc_desc".  Those
descriptors are stored in "prog->aux->kfunc_tab" and will
be available to the JIT.  Since this "add" operation is similar
to the current "add_subprog()" and looking for the same insn->code,
they are done together in the new "add_subprog_and_kfunc()".

In the "do_check()" stage, the new "check_kfunc_call()" is added
to verify the kernel function call instruction:
1. Ensure the kernel function can be used by a particular BPF_PROG_TYPE.
   A new bpf_verifier_ops "check_kfunc_call" is added to do that.
   The bpf-tcp-cc struct_ops program will implement this function in
   a later patch.
2. Call "btf_check_kfunc_args_match()" to ensure the regs can be
   used as the args of a kernel function.
3. Mark the regs' type, subreg_def, and zext_dst.

At the later do_misc_fixups() stage, the new fixup_kfunc_call()
will replace the insn->imm with the function address (relative
to __bpf_call_base).  If needed, the jit can find the btf_func_model
by calling the new bpf_jit_find_kfunc_model(prog, insn).
With the imm set to the function address, "bpftool prog dump xlated"
will be able to display the kernel function calls the same way as
it displays other bpf helper calls.

gpl_compatible program is required to call kernel function.

This feature currently requires JIT.

The verifier selftests are adjusted because of the changes in
the verbose log in add_subprog_and_kfunc().

      bpf: Simplify freeing logic in linfo and jited_linfo · e16301fb
      Martin KaFai Lau authored 
      
This patch simplifies the linfo freeing logic by combining
"bpf_prog_free_jited_linfo()" and "bpf_prog_free_unused_jited_linfo()"
into the new "bpf_prog_jit_attempt_done()".
It is a prep work for the kernel function call support.  In a later
patch, freeing the kernel function call descriptors will also
be done in the "bpf_prog_jit_attempt_done()".

"bpf_prog_free_linfo()" is removed since it is only called by
"__bpf_prog_put_noref()".  The kvfree() are directly called
instead.

It also takes this chance to s/kcalloc/kvcalloc/ for the jited_linfo
allocation.

      bpf: Introduce sleepable BPF programs · 1e6c62a8
      Alexei Starovoitov authored 
      
Introduce sleepable BPF programs that can request such property for themselves
via BPF_F_SLEEPABLE flag at program load time. In such case they will be able
to use helpers like bpf_copy_from_user() that might sleep. At present only
fentry/fexit/fmod_ret and lsm programs can request to be sleepable and only
when they are attached to kernel functions that are known to allow sleeping.

The non-sleepable programs are relying on implicit rcu_read_lock() and
migrate_disable() to protect life time of programs, maps that they use and
per-cpu kernel structures used to pass info between bpf programs and the
kernel. The sleepable programs cannot be enclosed into rcu_read_lock().
migrate_disable() maps to preempt_disable() in non-RT kernels, so the progs
should not be enclosed in migrate_disable() as well. Therefore
rcu_read_lock_trace is used to protect the life time of sleepable progs.

There are many networking and tracing program types. In many cases the
'struct bpf_prog *' pointer itself is rcu protected within some other kernel
data structure and the kernel code is using rcu_dereference() to load that
program pointer and call BPF_PROG_RUN() on it. All these cases are not touched.
Instead sleepable bpf programs are allowed with bpf trampoline only. The
program pointers are hard-coded into generated assembly of bpf trampoline and
synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace() is used to protect the life time of the program.
The same trampoline can hold both sleepable and non-sleepable progs.

When rcu_read_lock_trace is held it means that some sleepable bpf program is
running from bpf trampoline. Those programs can use bpf arrays and preallocated
hash/lru maps. These map types are waiting on programs to complete via
synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace();

Updates to trampoline now has to do synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace() and
synchronize_rcu_tasks() to wait for sleepable progs to finish and for
trampoline assembly to finish.

This is the first step of introducing sleepable progs. Eventually dynamically
allocated hash maps can be allowed and networking program types can become
sleepable too.

      bpf: Add map_meta_equal map ops · f4d05259
      Martin KaFai Lau authored 
      Some properties of the inner map is used in the verification time.
When an inner map is inserted to an outer map at runtime,
bpf_map_meta_equal() is currently used to ensure those properties
of the inserting inner map stays the same as the verification
time.

In particular, the current bpf_map_meta_equal() checks max_entries which
turns out to be too restrictive for most of the maps which do not use
max_entries during the verification time.  It limits the use case that
wants to replace a smaller inner map with a larger inner map.  There are
some maps do use max_entries during verification though.  For example,
the map_gen_lookup in array_map_ops uses the max_entries to generate
the inline lookup code.

To accommodate differences between maps, the map_meta_equal is added
to bpf_map_ops.  Each map-type can decide what to check when its
map is used as an inner map during runtime.

Also, some map types cannot be used as an inner map and they are
currently black listed in bpf_map_meta_alloc() in map_in_map.c.
It is not unusual that the new map types may not aware that such
blacklist exists.  This patch enforces an explicit opt-in
and only allows a map to be used as an inner map if it has
implemented the map_meta_equal ops.  It is based on the
discussion in [1].

All maps that support inner map has its map_meta_equal points
to bpf_map_meta_equal in this patch.  A later patch will
relax the max_entries check for most maps.  bpf_types.h
counts 28 map types.  This patch adds 23 ".map_meta_equal"
by using coccinelle.  -5 for
	BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY
	BPF_MAP_TYPE_(PERCPU)_CGROUP_STORAGE
	BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS
	BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS
	BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS

The "if (inner_map->inner_map_meta)" check in bpf_map_meta_alloc()
is moved such that the same error is returned.
