      bpf: Document BPF_F_QUERY_EFFECTIVE flag · f5bfcd95
      Andrey Ignatov authored 
      Document BPF_F_QUERY_EFFECTIVE flag, mostly to clarify how it affects
attach_flags what may not be obvious and what may lead to confision.

Specifically attach_flags is returned only for target_fd but if programs
are inherited from an ancestor cgroup then returned attach_flags for
current cgroup may be confusing. For example, two effective programs of
same attach_type can be returned but w/o BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI in
attach_flags.

Simple repro:
  # bpftool c s /sys/fs/cgroup/path/to/task
  ID       AttachType      AttachFlags     Name
  # bpftool c s /sys/fs/cgroup/path/to/task effective
  ID       AttachType      AttachFlags     Name
  95043    ingress                         tw_ipt_ingress
  95048    ingress                         tw_ingress

====================
This series introduces BPF STRUCT_OPS.  It is an infra to allow
implementing some specific kernel's function pointers in BPF.
The first use case included in this series is to implement
TCP congestion control algorithm in BPF  (i.e. implement
struct tcp_congestion_ops in BPF).

There has been attempt to move the TCP CC to the user space
(e.g. CCP in TCP).   The common arguments are faster turn around,
get away from long-tail kernel versions in production...etc,
which are legit points.

BPF has been the continuous effort to join both kernel and
userspace upsides together (e.g. XDP to gain the performance
advantage without bypassing the kernel).  The recent BPF
advancements (in particular BTF-aware verifier, BPF trampoline,
BPF CO-RE...) made implementing kernel struct ops (e.g. tcp cc)
possible in BPF.

The idea is to allow implementing tcp_congestion_ops in bpf.
It allows a faster turnaround for testing algorithm in the
production while leveraging the existing (and continue growing) BPF
feature/framework instead of building one specifically for
userspace TCP CC.

Please see individual patch for details.

The bpftool support will be posted in follow-up patches.

v4:
- Expose tcp_ca_find() to tcp.h in patch 7.
  It is used to check the same bpf-tcp-cc
  does not exist to guarantee the register()
  will succeed.
- set_memory_ro() and then set_memory_x() only after all
  trampolines are written to the image in patch 6. (Daniel)
  spinlock is replaced by mutex because set_memory_*
  requires sleepable context.

v3:
- Fix kbuild error by considering CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL (kbuild)
- Support anonymous bitfield in patch 4 (Andrii, Yonghong)
- Push boundary safety check to a specific arch's trampoline function
  (in patch 6) (Yonghong).
  Reuse the WANR_ON_ONCE check in arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline() in x86.
- Check module field is 0 in udata in patch 6 (Yonghong)
- Check zero holes in patch 6 (Andrii)
- s/_btf_vmlinux/btf/ in patch 5 and 7 (Andrii)
- s/check_xxx/is_xxx/ in patch 7 (Andrii)
- Use "struct_ops/" convention in patch 11 (Andrii)
- Use the skel instead of bpf_object in patch 11 (Andrii)
- libbpf: Decide BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS at open phase by using
          find_sec_def()
- libbpf: Avoid a debug message at open phase (Andrii)
- libbpf: Add bpf_program__(is|set)_struct_ops() for consistency (Andrii)
- libbpf: Add "struct_ops" to section_defs (Andrii)
- libbpf: Some code shuffling in init_kern_struct_ops() (Andrii)
- libbpf: A few safety checks (Andrii)

v2:
- Dropped cubic for now.  They will be reposted
  once there are more clarity in "jiffies" on both
  bpf side (about the helper) and
  tcp_cubic side (some of jiffies usages are being replaced
  by tp->tcp_mstamp)
- Remove unnecssary check on bitfield support from btf_struct_access()
  (Yonghong)
- BTF_TYPE_EMIT macro (Yonghong, Andrii)
- value_name's length check to avoid an unlikely
  type match during truncation case (Yonghong)
- BUILD_BUG_ON to ensure no trampoline-image overrun
  in the future (Yonghong)
- Simplify get_next_key() (Yonghong)
- Added comment to explain how to check mandatory
  func ptr in net/ipv4/bpf_tcp_ca.c (Yonghong)
- Rename "__bpf_" to "bpf_struct_ops_" for value prefix (Andrii)
- Add comment to highlight the bpf_dctcp.c is not necessarily
  the same as tcp_dctcp.c. (Alexei, Eric)
- libbpf: Renmae "struct_ops" to ".struct_ops" for elf sec (Andrii)
- libbpf: Expose struct_ops as a bpf_map (Andrii)
- libbpf: Support multiple struct_ops in SEC(".struct_ops") (Andrii)
- libbpf: Add bpf_map__attach_struct_ops()  (Andrii)

      bpf: libbpf: Add STRUCT_OPS support · 590a0088
      Martin KaFai Lau authored 
      This patch adds BPF STRUCT_OPS support to libbpf.

The only sec_name convention is SEC(".struct_ops") to identify the
struct_ops implemented in BPF,
e.g. To implement a tcp_congestion_ops:

SEC(".struct_ops")
struct tcp_congestion_ops dctcp = {
	.init           = (void *)dctcp_init,  /* <-- a bpf_prog */
	/* ... some more func prts ... */
	.name           = "bpf_dctcp",
};

Each struct_ops is defined as a global variable under SEC(".struct_ops")
as above.  libbpf creates a map for each variable and the variable name
is the map's name.  Multiple struct_ops is supported under
SEC(".struct_ops").

In the bpf_object__open phase, libbpf will look for the SEC(".struct_ops")
section and find out what is the btf-type the struct_ops is
implementing.  Note that the btf-type here is referring to
a type in the bpf_prog.o's btf.  A "struct bpf_map" is added
by bpf_object__add_map() as other maps do.  It will then
collect (through SHT_REL) where are the bpf progs that the
func ptrs are referring to.  No btf_vmlinux is needed in
the open phase.

In the bpf_object__load phase, the map-fields, which depend
on the btf_vmlinux, are initialized (in bpf_map__init_kern_struct_ops()).
It will also set the prog->type, prog->attach_btf_id, and
prog->expected_attach_type.  Thus, the prog's properties do
not rely on its section name.
[ Currently, the bpf_prog's btf-type ==> btf_vmlinux's btf-type matching
  process is as simple as: member-name match + btf-kind match + size match.
  If these matching conditions fail, libbpf will reject.
  The current targeting support is "struct tcp_congestion_ops" which
  most of its members are function pointers.
  The member ordering of the bpf_prog's btf-type can be different from
  the btf_vmlinux's btf-type. ]

Then, all obj->maps are created as usual (in bpf_object__create_maps()).

Once the maps are created and prog's properties are all set,
the libbpf will proceed to load all the progs.

bpf_map__attach_struct_ops() is added to register a struct_ops
map to a kernel subsystem.

      bpf: tcp: Support tcp_congestion_ops in bpf · 0baf26b0
      Martin KaFai Lau authored 
      This patch makes "struct tcp_congestion_ops" to be the first user
of BPF STRUCT_OPS.  It allows implementing a tcp_congestion_ops
in bpf.

The BPF implemented tcp_congestion_ops can be used like
regular kernel tcp-cc through sysctl and setsockopt.  e.g.
[root@arch-fb-vm1 bpf]# sysctl -a | egrep congestion
net.ipv4.tcp_allowed_congestion_control = reno cubic bpf_cubic
net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control = reno bic cubic bpf_cubic
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control = bpf_cubic

There has been attempt to move the TCP CC to the user space
(e.g. CCP in TCP).   The common arguments are faster turn around,
get away from long-tail kernel versions in production...etc,
which are legit points.

BPF has been the continuous effort to join both kernel and
userspace upsides together (e.g. XDP to gain the performance

possible in BPF.  It allows a faster turnaround for testing algorithm
in the production while leveraging the existing (and continue growing)
BPF feature/framework instead of building one specifically for
userspace TCP CC.

This patch allows write access to a few fields in tcp-sock
(in bpf_tcp_ca_btf_struct_access()).

The optional "get_info" is unsupported now.  It can be added
later.  One possible way is to output the info with a btf-id
to describe the content.

      bpf: Introduce BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS · 85d33df3
      Martin KaFai Lau authored 
      The patch introduces BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS.  The map value
is a kernel struct with its func ptr implemented in bpf prog.
This new map is the interface to register/unregister/introspect
a bpf implemented kernel struct.

The kernel struct is actually embedded inside another new struct
(or called the "value" struct in the code).  For example,
"struct tcp_congestion_ops" is embbeded in:
struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops {
	refcount_t refcnt;
	enum bpf_struct_ops_state state;
	struct tcp_congestion_ops data;  /* <-- kernel subsystem struct here */
}
The map value is "struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops".
The "bpftool map dump" will then be able to show the
state ("inuse"/"tobefree") and the number of subsystem's refcnt (e.g.
number of tcp_sock in the tcp_congestion_ops case).  This "value" struct
is created automatically by a macro.  Having a separate "value" struct
will also make extending "struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ" easier (e.g. adding
"void (*init)(void)" to "struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ" to do some
initialization works before registering the struct_ops to the kernel
subsystem).  The libbpf will take care of finding and populating the
"struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ" from "struct XYZ".

Register a struct_ops to a kernel subsystem:
1. Load all needed BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog(s)
2. Create a BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS with attr->btf_vmlinux_value_type_id
   set to the btf id "struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops" of the
   running kernel.
   Instead of reusing the attr->btf_value_type_id,
   btf_vmlinux_value_type_id s added such that attr->btf_fd can still be
   used as the "user" btf which could store other useful sysadmin/debug
   info that may be introduced in the furture,
   e.g. creation-date/compiler-details/map-creator...etc.
3. Create a "struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops" object as described
   in the running kernel btf.  Populate the value of this object.
   The function ptr should be populated with the prog fds.
4. Call BPF_MAP_UPDATE with the object created in (3) as
   the map value.  The key is always "0".

During BPF_MAP_UPDATE, the code that saves the kernel-func-ptr's
args as an array of u64 is generated.  BPF_MAP_UPDATE also allows
the specific struct_ops to do some final checks in "st_ops->init_member()"
(e.g. ensure all mandatory func ptrs are implemented).
If everything looks good, it will register this kernel struct
to the kernel subsystem.  The map will not allow further update
from this point.

Unregister a struct_ops from the kernel subsystem:
BPF_MAP_DELETE with key "0".

Introspect a struct_ops:
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM with key "0".  The map value returned will
have the prog _id_ populated as the func ptr.

The map value state (enum bpf_struct_ops_state) will transit from:
INIT (map created) =>
INUSE (map updated, i.e. reg) =>
TOBEFREE (map value deleted, i.e. unreg)

The kernel subsystem needs to call bpf_struct_ops_get() and
bpf_struct_ops_put() to manage the "refcnt" in the
"struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ".  This patch uses a separate refcnt
for the purose of tracking the subsystem usage.  Another approach
is to reuse the map->refcnt and then "show" (i.e. during map_lookup)
the subsystem's usage by doing map->refcnt - map->usercnt to filter out
the map-fd/pinned-map usage.  However, that will also tie down the
future semantics of map->refcnt and map->usercnt.

The very first subsystem's refcnt (during reg()) holds one
count to map->refcnt.  When the very last subsystem's refcnt
is gone, it will also release the map->refcnt.  All bpf_prog will be
freed when the map->refcnt reaches 0 (i.e. during map_free()).

Here is how the bpftool map command will look like:
[root@arch-fb-vm1 bpf]# bpftool map show
6: struct_ops  name dctcp  flags 0x0
	key 4B  value 256B  max_entries 1  memlock 4096B
	btf_id 6
[root@arch-fb-vm1 bpf]# bpftool map dump id 6
[{
        "value": {
            "refcnt": {
                "refs": {
                    "counter": 1
                }
            },

                },

                "owner": 0
            }
        }
    }
]

Misc Notes:
* bpf_struct_ops_map_sys_lookup_elem() is added for syscall lookup.
  It does an inplace update on "*value" instead returning a pointer
  to syscall.c.  Otherwise, it needs a separate copy of "zero" value
  for the BPF_STRUCT_OPS_STATE_INIT to avoid races.

* The bpf_struct_ops_map_delete_elem() is also called without
  preempt_disable() from map_delete_elem().  It is because
  the "->unreg()" may requires sleepable context, e.g.
  the "tcp_unregister_congestion_control()".

* "const" is added to some of the existing "struct btf_func_model *"
  function arg to avoid a compiler warning caused by this patch.

      bpf: Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS · 27ae7997
      Martin KaFai Lau authored 
      This patch allows the kernel's struct ops (i.e. func ptr) to be
implemented in BPF.  The first use case in this series is the
"struct tcp_congestion_ops" which will be introduced in a
latter patch.

This patch introduces a new prog type BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS.
The BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog is verified against a particular
func ptr of a kernel struct.  The attr->attach_btf_id is the btf id
of a kernel struct.  The attr->expected_attach_type is the member
"index" of that kernel struct.  The first member of a struct starts
with member index 0.  That will avoid ambiguity when a kernel struct
has multiple func ptrs with the same func signature.

For example, a BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog is written
to implement the "init" func ptr of the "struct tcp_congestion_ops".
The attr->attach_btf_id is the btf id of the "struct tcp_congestion_ops"
of the _running_ kernel.  The attr->expected_attach_type is 3.

The ctx of BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS is an array of u64 args saved
by arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline that will be done in the next
patch when introducing BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS.

"struct bpf_struct_ops" is introduced as a common interface for the kernel
struct that supports BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog.  The supporting kernel
struct will need to implement an instance of the "struct bpf_struct_ops".

The supporting kernel struct also needs to implement a bpf_verifier_ops.
During BPF_PROG_LOAD, bpf_struct_ops_find() will find the right
bpf_verifier_ops by searching the attr->attach_btf_id.

A new "btf_struct_access" is also added to the bpf_verifier_ops such
that the supporting kernel struct can optionally provide its own specific
check on accessing the func arg (e.g. provide limited write access).

After btf_vmlinux is parsed, the new bpf_struct_ops_init() is called
to initialize some values (e.g. the btf id of the supporting kernel
struct) and it can only be done once the btf_vmlinux is available.

The R0 checks at BPF_EXIT is excluded for the BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog
if the return type of the prog->aux->attach_func_proto is "void".

It checks "off + size > t->size" to avoid accessing bitfield

      selftests/bpf: Restore original comm in test_overhead · e4300224
      Stanislav Fomichev authored 
      test_overhead changes task comm in order to estimate BPF trampoline
overhead but never sets the comm back to the original one.
We have the tests (like core_reloc.c) that have 'test_progs'
as hard-coded expected comm, so let's try to preserve the
original comm.

Currently, everything works because the order of execution is:
first core_recloc, then test_overhead; but let's make it a bit
future-proof.

Other related changes: use 'test_overhead' as new comm instead of
'test' to make it easy to debug and drop '\n' at the end.
