Long standing issue with JITed programs is that stack traces from
function tracing check whether a given address is kernel code
through {__,}kernel_text_address(), which checks for code in core
kernel, modules and dynamically allocated ftrace trampolines. But
what is still missing is BPF JITed programs (interpreted programs
are not an issue as __bpf_prog_run() will be attributed to them),
thus when a stack trace is triggered, the code walking the stack
won't see any of the JITed ones. The same for address correlation
done from user space via reading /proc/kallsyms. This is read by
tools like perf, but the latter is also useful for permanent live
tracing with eBPF itself in combination with stack maps when other
eBPF types are part of the callchain. See offwaketime example on
dumping stack from a map.

This work tries to tackle that issue by making the addresses and
symbols known to the kernel. The lookup from *kernel_text_address()
is implemented through a latched RB tree that can be read under
RCU in fast-path that is also shared for symbol/size/offset lookup
for a specific given address in kallsyms. The slow-path iteration
through all symbols in the seq file done via RCU list, which holds
a tiny fraction of all exported ksyms, usually below 0.1 percent.
Function symbols are exported as bpf_prog_&lt;tag&gt;, in order to aide
debugging and attribution. This facility is currently enabled for
root-only when bpf_jit_kallsyms is set to 1, and disabled if hardening
is active in any mode. The rationale behind this is that still a lot
of systems ship with world read permissions on kallsyms thus addresses
should not get suddenly exposed for them. If that situation gets
much better in future, we always have the option to change the
default on this. Likewise, unprivileged programs are not allowed
to add entries there either, but that is less of a concern as most
such programs types relevant in this context are for root-only anyway.
If enabled, call graphs and stack traces will then show a correct
attribution; one example is illustrated below, where the trace is
now visible in tooling such as perf script --kallsyms=/proc/kallsyms
and friends.

<title>bpf: don't trigger OOM killer under pressure with map alloc</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch adds two helpers, bpf_map_area_alloc() and bpf_map_area_free(),
that are to be used for map allocations. Using kmalloc() for very large
allocations can cause excessive work within the page allocator, so i) fall
back earlier to vmalloc() when the attempt is considered costly anyway,
and even more importantly ii) don't trigger OOM killer with any of the
allocators.

Since this is based on a user space request, for example, when creating
maps with element pre-allocation, we really want such requests to fail
instead of killing other user space processes.

Also, don't spam the kernel log with warnings should any of the allocations
fail under pressure. Given that, we can make backend selection in
bpf_map_area_alloc() generic, and convert all maps over to use this API
for spots with potentially large allocation requests.

Note, replacing the one kmalloc_array() is fine as overflow checks happen
earlier in htab_map_alloc(), since it must also protect the multiplication
for vmalloc() should kmalloc_array() fail.

Commit 7bd509e311f4 ("bpf: add prog_digest and expose it via
fdinfo/netlink") was recently discussed, partially due to
admittedly suboptimal name of "prog_digest" in combination
with sha1 hash usage, thus inevitably and rightfully concerns
about its security in terms of collision resistance were
raised with regards to use-cases.

The intended use cases are for debugging resp. introspection
only for providing a stable "tag" over the instruction sequence
that both kernel and user space can calculate independently.
It's not usable at all for making a security relevant decision.
So collisions where two different instruction sequences generate
the same tag can happen, but ideally at a rather low rate. The
"tag" will be dumped in hex and is short enough to introspect
in tracepoints or kallsyms output along with other data such
as stack trace, etc. Thus, this patch performs a rename into
prog_tag and truncates the tag to a short output (64 bits) to
make it obvious it's not collision-free.

Should in future a hash or facility be needed with a security
relevant focus, then we can think about requirements, constraints,
etc that would fit to that situation. For now, rework the exposed
parts for the current use cases as long as nothing has been
released yet. Tested on x86_64 and s390x.

<title>bpf: pass original insn directly to convert_ctx_access</title>

Currently, when calling convert_ctx_access() callback for the various
program types, we pass in insn-&gt;dst_reg, insn-&gt;src_reg, insn-&gt;off from
the original instruction. This information is needed to rewrite the
instruction that is based on the user ctx structure into a kernel
representation for the ctx. As we'd like to allow access size beyond
just BPF_W, we'd need also insn-&gt;code for that in order to decode the
original access size. Given that, lets just pass insn directly to the
convert_ctx_access() callback and work on that to not clutter the
callback with even more arguments we need to pass when everything is
already contained in insn. So lets go through that once, no functional
change.

Commit aaac3ba95e4c ("bpf: charge user for creation of BPF maps and
programs") made a wrong assumption of charging against prog-&gt;pages.
Unlike map-&gt;pages, prog-&gt;pages are still subject to change when we
need to expand the program through bpf_prog_realloc().

This can for example happen during verification stage when we need to
expand and rewrite parts of the program. Should the required space
cross a page boundary, then prog-&gt;pages is not the same anymore as
its original value that we used to bpf_prog_charge_memlock() on. Thus,
we'll hit a wrap-around during bpf_prog_uncharge_memlock() when prog
is freed eventually. I noticed this that despite having unlimited
memlock, programs suddenly refused to load with EPERM error due to
insufficient memlock.

There are two ways to fix this issue. One would be to add a cached
variable to struct bpf_prog that takes a snapshot of prog-&gt;pages at the
time of charging. The other approach is to also account for resizes. I
chose to go with the latter for a couple of reasons: i) We want accounting
rather to be more accurate instead of further fooling limits, ii) adding
yet another page counter on struct bpf_prog would also be a waste just
for this purpose. We also do want to charge as early as possible to
avoid going into the verifier just to find out later on that we crossed
limits. The only place that needs to be fixed is bpf_prog_realloc(),
since only here we expand the program, so we try to account for the
needed delta and should we fail, call-sites check for outcome anyway.
On cBPF to eBPF migrations, we don't grab a reference to the user as
they are charged differently. With that in place, my test case worked
fine.

<title>bpf: dynamically allocate digest scratch buffer</title>

Geert rightfully complained that 7bd509e311f4 ("bpf: add prog_digest
and expose it via fdinfo/netlink") added a too large allocation of
variable 'raw' from bss section, and should instead be done dynamically:

  # ./scripts/bloat-o-meter kernel/bpf/core.o.1 kernel/bpf/core.o.2
  add/remove: 3/0 grow/shrink: 0/0 up/down: 33291/0 (33291)
  function                                     old     new   delta
  raw                                            -   32832  +32832
  [...]

Since this is only relevant during program creation path, which can be
considered slow-path anyway, lets allocate that dynamically and be not
implicitly dependent on verifier mutex. Move bpf_prog_calc_digest() at
the beginning of replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr() and also error handling
stays straight forward.

When loading a BPF program via bpf(2), calculate the digest over
the program's instruction stream and store it in struct bpf_prog's
digest member. This is done at a point in time before any instructions
are rewritten by the verifier. Any unstable map file descriptor
number part of the imm field will be zeroed for the hash.

fdinfo example output for progs:

  # cat /proc/1590/fdinfo/5
  pos:          0
  flags:        02000002
  mnt_id:       11
  prog_type:    1
  prog_jited:   1
  prog_digest:  b27e8b06da22707513aa97363dfb11c7c3675d28
  memlock:      4096

When programs are pinned and retrieved by an ELF loader, the loader
can check the program's digest through fdinfo and compare it against
one that was generated over the ELF file's program section to see
if the program needs to be reloaded. Furthermore, this can also be
exposed through other means such as netlink in case of a tc cls/act
dump (or xdp in future), but also through tracepoints or other
facilities to identify the program. Other than that, the digest can
also serve as a base name for the work in progress kallsyms support
of programs. The digest doesn't depend/select the crypto layer, since
we need to keep dependencies to a minimum. iproute2 will get support
for this facility.
