eBPF programs attached to kprobes need to filter based on current->pid, uid and other fields, so introduce helper functions: u64 bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(void) Return: current->tgid << 32 | current->pid u64 bpf_get_current_uid_gid(void) Return: current_gid << 32 | current_uid bpf_get_current_comm(char *buf, int size_of_buf) stores current->comm into buf They can be used from the programs attached to TC as well to classify packets based on current task fields. Update tracex2 example to print histogram of write syscalls for each process instead of aggregated for all. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next This a bit large (and late) patchset that contains Netfilter updates for net-next. Most relevantly br_netfilter fixes, ipset RCU support, removal of x_tables percpu ruleset copy and rework of the nf_tables netdev support. More specifically, they are: 1) Warn the user when there is a better protocol conntracker available, from Marcelo Ricardo Leitner. 2) Fix forwarding of IPv6 fragmented traffic in br_netfilter, from Bernhard Thaler. This comes with several patches to prepare the change in first place. 3) Get rid of special mtu handling of PPPoE/VLAN frames for br_netfilter. This is not needed anymore since now we use the largest fragment size to refragment, from Florian Westphal. 4) Restore vlan tag when refragmenting in br_netfilter, also from Florian. 5) Get rid of the percpu ruleset copy in x_tables, from Florian. Plus another follow up patch to refine it from Eric Dumazet. 6) Several ipset cleanups, fixes and finally RCU support, from Jozsef Kadlecsik. 7) Get rid of parens in Netfilter Kconfig files. 8) Attach the net_device to the basechain as opposed to the initial per table approach in the nf_tables netdev family. 9) Subscribe to netdev events to detect the removal and registration of a device that is referenced by a basechain. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In case the net_device is gone, we have to unregister the hooks and put back the reference on the net_device object. Once it comes back, register them again. This also covers the device rename case. This patch also adds a new flag to indicate that the basechain is disabled, so their hooks are not registered. This flag is used by the netdev family to handle the case where the net_device object is gone. Currently this flag is not exposed to userspace. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

Pablo Neira Ayuso authored
The device is part of the hook configuration, so instead of a global configuration per table, set it to each of the basechain that we create. This patch reworks ebddf1a8 ("netfilter: nf_tables: allow to bind table to net_device"). Note that this adds a dev_name field in the nft_base_chain structure which is required the netdev notification subscription that follows up in a patch to handle gone net_devices.

After Florian patches, there is no need for XT_TABLE_INFO_SZ anymore : Only one copy of table is kept, instead of one copy per cpu. We also can avoid a dereference if we put table data right after xt_table_info. It reduces register pressure and helps compiler. Then, we attempt a kmalloc() if total size is under order-3 allocation, to reduce TLB pressure, as in many cases, rules fit in 32 KB.

Jozsef Kadlecsik says: ==================== ipset patches for nf-next Please consider to apply the next bunch of patches for ipset. First comes the small changes, then the bugfixes and at the end the RCU related patches. * Use MSEC_PER_SEC consistently instead of the number. * Use SET_WITH_*() helpers to test set extensions from Sergey Popovich. * Check extensions attributes before getting extensions from Sergey Popovich. * Permit CIDR equal to the host address CIDR in IPv6 from Sergey Popovich. * Make sure we always return line number on batch in the case of error from Sergey Popovich. * Check CIDR value only when attribute is given from Sergey Popovich. * Fix cidr handling for hash:*net* types, reported by Jonathan Johnson. * Fix parallel resizing and listing of the same set so that the original set is kept for the whole dumping. * Make sure listing doesn't grab a set which is just being destroyed. * Remove rbtree from ip_set_hash_netiface.c in order to introduce RCU. * Replace rwlock_t with spinlock_t in "struct ip_set", change the locking in the core and simplifications in the timeout routines. * Introduce RCU locking in bitmap:* types with a slight modification in the logic on how an element is added. * Introduce RCU locking in hash:* types. This is the most complex part of the changes. * Introduce RCU locking in list type where standard rculist is used. * Fix coding styles reported by checkpatch.pl. ==================== Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

Jozsef Kadlecsik authored
Three types of data need to be protected in the case of the hash types: a. The hash buckets: standard rcu pointer operations are used. b. The element blobs in the hash buckets are stored in an array and a bitmap is used for book-keeping to tell which elements in the array are used or free. c. Networks per cidr values and the cidr values themselves are stored in fix sized arrays and need no protection. The values are modified in such an order that in the worst case an element testing is repeated once with the same cidr value. The ipset hash approach uses arrays instead of lists and therefore is incompatible with rhashtable.

There's nothing much required because the bitmap types use atomic bit operations. However the logic of adding elements slightly changed: first the MAC address updated (which is not atomic), then the element activated (added). The extensions may call kfree_rcu() therefore we call rcu_barrier() at module removal. Signed-off-by: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@blackhole.kfki.hu>

When elements added to a hash:* type of set and resizing triggered, parallel listing could start to list the original set (before resizing) and "continue" with listing the new set.

There is no reason to check CIDR value regardless attribute specifying CIDR is given. Initialize cidr array in element structure on element structure declaration to let more freedom to the compiler to optimize initialization right before element structure is used. Remove local variables cidr and cidr2 for netnet and netportnet hashes as we do not use packed cidr value for such set types and can store value directly in e.cidr[].

Currently, we can ask to authenticate DATA chunks and we can send DATA chunks on the same packet as COOKIE_ECHO, but if you try to combine both, the DATA chunk will be sent unauthenticated and peer won't accept it, leading to a communication failure. This happens because even though the data was queued after it was requested to authenticate DATA chunks, it was also queued before we could know that remote peer can handle authenticating, so sctp_auth_send_cid() returns false. The fix is whenever we set up an active key, re-check send queue for chunks that now should be authenticated. As a result, such packet will now contain COOKIE_ECHO + AUTH + DATA chunks, in that order.

Pull VT-d hardware workarounds from David Woodhouse: "This contains a workaround for hardware issues which I *thought* were never going to be seen on production hardware. I'm glad I checked that before the 4.1 release... Firstly, PASID support is so broken on existing chips that we're just going to declare the old capability bit 28 as 'reserved' and change the VT-d spec to move PASID support to another bit. So any existing hardware doesn't support SVM; it only sets that (now) meaningless bit 28. That patch *wasn't* imperative for 4.1 because we don't have PASID support yet. But *even* the extended context tables are broken — if you just enable the wider tables and use none of the new bits in them, which is precisely what 4.1 does, you find that translations don't work. It's this problem which I thought was caught in time to be fixed before production, but wasn't. To avoid triggering this issue, we now *only* enable the extended context tables on hardware which also advertises "we have PASID support and we actually tested it this time" with the new PASID feature bit. In addition, I've added an 'intel_iommu=ecs_off' command line parameter to allow us to disable it manually if we need to" * git://git.infradead.org/intel-iommu: iommu/vt-d: Only enable extended context tables if PASID is supported iommu/vt-d: Change PASID support to bit 40 of Extended Capability Register

We store the rule blob per (possible) cpu. Unfortunately this means we can waste lot of memory on big smp machines. ipt_entry structure ('rule head') is 112 byte, so e.g. with maxcpu=64 one single rule eats close to 8k RAM. Since previous patch made counters percpu it appears there is nothing left in the rule blob that needs to be percpu. On my test system (144 possible cpus, 400k dummy rules) this change saves close to 9 Gigabyte of RAM.

The binary arp/ip/ip6tables ruleset is stored per cpu. The only reason left as to why we need percpu duplication are the rule counters embedded into ipt_entry et al -- since each cpu has its own copy of the rules, all counters can be lockless. The downside is that the more cpus are supported, the more memory is required. Rules are not just duplicated per online cpu but for each possible cpu, i.e. if maxcpu is 144, then rule is duplicated 144 times, not for the e.g. 64 cores present. To save some memory and also improve utilization of shared caches it would be preferable to only store the rule blob once. So we first need to separate counters and the rule blob. Instead of using entry->counters, allocate this percpu and store the percpu address in entry->counters.pcnt on CONFIG_SMP. This change makes no sense as-is; it is merely an intermediate step to remove the percpu duplication of the rule set in a followup patch.
