It's hard to guarantee that whole memory is marked as initialized on helper return if uninitialized stack is accessed with variable offset since specific bounds are unknown to verifier. This may cause uninitialized stack leaking. Reject such an access in check_stack_boundary to prevent possible leaking. There are no known use-cases for indirect uninitialized stack access with variable offset so it shouldn't break anything.

Currently, ksym_search located at trace_helpers won't check symbols are existing or not. In ksym_search, when symbol is not found, it will return &syms[0](_stext). But when the kernel symbols are not loaded, it will return NULL, which is not a desired action. This commit will add verification logic whether symbols are loaded prior to the symbol search.

Alexei Starovoitov says: ==================== v1->v2: - fixed typo in patch 1 - added a patch to convert kcalloc to kvcalloc - added a patch to verbose 16-bit jump offset check - added a test with 1m insns This patch set is the first step to be able to accept large programs. The verifier still suffers from its brute force algorithm and large programs can easily hit 1M insn_processed limit. A lot more work is necessary to be able to verify large programs. v1: Realize two key ideas to speed up verification speed by ~20 times 1. every 'branching' instructions records all verifier states. not all of them are useful for search pruning. add a simple heuristic to keep states that were successful in search pruning and remove those that were not 2. mark_reg_read walks parentage chain of registers to mark parents as LIVE_READ. Once the register is marked there is no need to remark it again in the future. Hence stop walking the chain once first LIVE_READ is seen. 1st optimization gives 10x speed up on large programs and 2nd optimization reduces the cost of mark_reg_read from ~40% of cpu to <1%. Combined the deliver ~20x speedup on large programs. Faster and bounded verification time allows to increase insn_processed limit to 1 million from 130k. Worst case it takes 1/10 of a second to process that many instructions and peak memory consumption is peak_states * sizeof(struct bpf_verifier_state) which is around ~5Mbyte. Increase insn_per_program limit for root to insn_processed limit. Add verification stats and stress tests for verifier scalability. ==================== Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

Add 3 basic tests that stress verifier scalability. test_verif_scale1.c calls non-inlined jhash() function 90 times on different position in the packet. This test simulates network packet parsing. jhash function is ~140 instructions and main program is ~1200 insns. test_verif_scale2.c force inlines jhash() function 90 times. This program is ~15k instructions long. test_verif_scale3.c calls non-inlined jhash() function 90 times on But this time jhash has to process 32-bytes from the packet instead of 14-bytes in tests 1 and 2. jhash function is ~230 insns and main program is ~1200 insns. $ test_progs -s can be used to see verifier stats.

Allow bpf_prog_load_xattr() to specify log_level for program loading. Teach libbpf to accept log_level with bit 2 set. Increase default BPF_LOG_BUF_SIZE from 256k to 16M. There is no downside to increase it to a maximum allowed by old kernels. Existing 256k limit caused ENOSPC errors and users were not able to see verifier error which is printed at the end of the verifier log.

Large verifier speed improvements allow to increase verifier complexity limit. Now regardless of the program composition and its size it takes little time for the verifier to hit insn_processed limit. On typical x86 machine non-debug kernel processes 1M instructions in 1/10 of a second. (before these speed improvements specially crafted programs could be hitting multi-second verification times) Full kasan kernel with debug takes ~1 second for the same 1M insns. Hence bump the BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_INSNS limit to 1M. Also increase the number of instructions per program from 4k to internal BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_INSNS limit. 4k limit was confusing to users, since small programs with hundreds of insns could be hitting BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_INSNS limit. Sometimes adding more insns and bpf_trace_printk debug statements would make the verifier accept the program while removing code would make the verifier reject it. Some user space application started to add #define MAX_FOO to their programs and do: MAX_FOO=100; again: compile with MAX_FOO; try to load; if (fails_to_load) { reduce MAX_FOO; goto again; } to be able to fit maximum amount of processing into single program. Other users artificially split their single program into a set of programs and use all 32 iterations of tail_calls to increase compute limits. And the most advanced folks used unlimited tc-bpf filter list to execute many bpf programs. Essentially the users managed to workaround 4k insn limit. This patch removes the limit for root programs from uapi. BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_INSNS is the kernel internal limit and success to load the program no longer depends on program size, but on 'smartness' of the verifier only. The verifier will continue to get smarter with every kernel release. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

With large verifier speed improvement brought by the previous patch mark_reg_read() becomes the hottest function during verification. On a typical program it consumes 40% of cpu. mark_reg_read() walks parentage chain of registers to mark parents as LIVE_READ. Once the register is marked there is no need to remark it again in the future. Hence stop walking the chain once first LIVE_READ is seen. This optimization drops mark_reg_read() time from 40% of cpu to <1% and overall 2x improvement of verification speed. For some programs the longest_mark_read_walk counter improves from ~500 to ~5 Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Reviewed-by: Edward Cree <ecree@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

Branch instructions, branch targets and calls in a bpf program are the places where the verifier remembers states that led to successful verification of the program. These states are used to prune brute force program analysis. For unprivileged programs there is a limit of 64 states per such 'branching' instructions (maximum length is tracked by max_states_per_insn counter introduced in the previous patch). Simply reducing this threshold to 32 or lower increases insn_processed metric to the point that small valid programs get rejected. For root programs there is no limit and cilium programs can have max_states_per_insn to be 100 or higher. Walking 100+ states multiplied by number of 'branching' insns during verification consumes significant amount of cpu time. Turned out simple LRU-like mechanism can be used to remove states that unlikely will be helpful in future search pruning. This patch introduces hit_cnt and miss_cnt counters: hit_cnt - this many times this state successfully pruned the search miss_cnt - this many times this state was not equivalent to other states (and that other states were added to state list) The heuristic introduced in this patch is: if (sl->miss_cnt > sl->hit_cnt * 3 + 3) /* drop this state from future considerations */ Higher numbers increase max_states_per_insn (allow more states to be considered for pruning) and slow verification speed, but do not meaningfully reduce insn_processed metric. Lower numbers drop too many states and insn_processed increases too much. Many different formulas were considered. This one is simple and works well enough in practice. (the analysis was done on selftests/progs/* and on cilium programs) The end result is this heuristic improves verification speed by 10 times. Large synthetic programs that used to take a second more now take 1/10 of a second. In cases where max_states_per_insn used to be 100 or more, now it's ~10. There is a slight increase in insn_processed for cilium progs: before after bpf_lb-DLB_L3.o 1831 1838 bpf_lb-DLB_L4.o 3029 3218 bpf_lb-DUNKNOWN.o 1064 1064 bpf_lxc-DDROP_ALL.o 26309 26935 bpf_lxc-DUNKNOWN.o 33517 34439 bpf_netdev.o 9713 9721 bpf_overlay.o 6184 6184 bpf_lcx_jit.o 37335 39389 And 2-3 times improvement in the verification speed.

In order to understand the verifier bottlenecks add various stats and extend log_level: log_level 1 and 2 are kept as-is: bit 0 - level=1 - print every insn and verifier state at branch points bit 1 - level=2 - print every insn and verifier state at every insn bit 2 - level=4 - print verifier error and stats at the end of verification When verifier rejects the program the libbpf is trying to load the program twice. Once with log_level=0 (no messages, only error code is reported to user space) and second time with log_level=1 to tell the user why the verifier rejected it. With introduction of bit 2 - level=4 the libbpf can choose to always use that level and load programs once, since the verification speed is not affected and in case of error the verbose message will be available. Note that the verifier stats are not part of uapi just like all other verbose messages. They're expected to change in the future.

This patch adds new config option to trigger generation of BTF type information from DWARF debuginfo for vmlinux and kernel modules through pahole, which in turn relies on libbpf for btf_dedup() algorithm. The intent is to record compact type information of all types used inside kernel, including all the structs/unions/typedefs/etc. This enables BPF's compile-once-run-everywhere ([0]) approach, in which tracing programs that are inspecting kernel's internal data (e.g., struct task_struct) can be compiled on a system running some kernel version, but would be possible to run on other kernel versions (and configurations) without recompilation, even if the layout of structs changed and/or some of the fields were added, removed, or renamed. This is only possible if BPF loader can get kernel type info to adjust all the offsets correctly. This patch is a first time in this direction, making sure that BTF type info is part of Linux kernel image in non-loadable ELF section. BTF deduplication ([1]) algorithm typically provides 100x savings compared to DWARF data, so resulting .BTF section is not big as is typically about 2MB in size.

For multiple dimensional arrays like below, int a[2][3] both llvm and pahole generated one BTF_KIND_ARRAY type like . element_type: int . index_type: unsigned int . number of elements: 6 Such a collapsed BTF_KIND_ARRAY type will cause the divergence in BTF vs. the user code. In the compile-once-run-everywhere project, the header file is generated from BTF and used for bpf program, and the definition in the header file will be different from what user expects. But the kernel actually supports chained multi-dimensional array types properly. The above "int a[2][3]" can be represented as Type #n: . element_type: int . index_type: unsigned int . number of elements: 3 Type #(n+1): . element_type: type #n . index_type: unsigned int . number of elements: 2 The following llvm commit https://reviews.llvm.org/rL357215 also enables llvm to generated proper chained multi-dimensional arrays. The test_btf already has a raw test ("struct test #1") for chained multi-dimensional arrays. This patch added amended bpffs test for chained multi-dimensional arrays.

Currently there is a difference in how verifier checks memory access for helper arguments for PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE and PTR_TO_STACK with regard to variable part of offset. check_map_access, that is used for PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE, can handle variable offsets just fine, so that BPF program can call a helper like this: some_helper(map_value_ptr + off, size); , where offset is unknown at load time, but is checked by program to be in a safe rage (off >= 0 && off + size < map_value_size). But it's not the case for check_stack_boundary, that is used for PTR_TO_STACK, and same code with pointer to stack is rejected by verifier: some_helper(stack_value_ptr + off, size); For example: 0: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -16) = 0 1: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -8) = 0 2: (61) r2 = *(u32 *)(r1 +0) 3: (57) r2 &= 4 4: (17) r2 -= 16 5: (0f) r2 += r10 6: (18) r1 = 0xffff888111343a80 8: (85) call bpf_map_lookup_elem#1 invalid variable stack read R2 var_off=(0xfffffffffffffff0; 0x4) Add support for variable offset access to check_stack_boundary so that if offset is checked by program to be in a safe range it's accepted by verifier.

The SOCK_QUEUE_SHRUNK flag must also be set. 3) Reuse of saved skb should have used skb_cloned() instead of simply checking if the fast clone has been freed.

This patch adds a new action - 'check_pkt_len' which checks the packet length and executes a set of actions if the packet length is greater than the specified length or executes another set of actions if the packet length is lesser or equal to. This action takes below nlattrs * OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_PKT_LEN - 'pkt_len' to check for * OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_ACTIONS_IF_GREATER - Nested actions to apply if the packet length is greater than the specified 'pkt_len' * OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_ACTIONS_IF_LESS_EQUAL - Nested actions to apply if the packet length is lesser or equal to the specified 'pkt_len'. The main use case for adding this action is to solve the packet drops because of MTU mismatch in OVN virtual networking solution. When a VM (which belongs to a logical switch of OVN) sends a packet destined to go via the gateway router and if the nic which provides external connectivity, has a lesser MTU, OVS drops the packet if the packet length is greater than this MTU. With the help of this action, OVN will check the packet length and if it is greater than the MTU size, it will generate an ICMP packet (type 3, code 4) and includes the next hop mtu in it so that the sender can fragment the packets.
