The bpf_struct_ops tcp-cc name should be sanitized in order to
avoid problematic chars (e.g. whitespaces).

This patch reuses the bpf_obj_name_cpy() for accepting the same set
of characters in order to keep a consistent bpf programming experience.
A "size" param is added.  Also, the strlen is returned on success so
that the caller (like the bpf_tcp_ca here) can error out on empty name.
The existing callers of the bpf_obj_name_cpy() only need to change the
testing statement to "if (err &lt; 0)".  For all these existing callers,
the err will be overwritten later, so no extra change is needed
for the new strlen return value.

v3:
  - reverse xmas tree style
v2:
  - Save the orig_src to avoid "end - size" (Andrii)

Instead of using a locally defined "struct bpf_verifier_log log = {}",
btf_struct_ops_init() should reuse the "log" from its calling
function "btf_parse_vmlinux()".  It should also resolve the

When unwinding the stack we need to identify each address
to successfully continue. Adding latch tree to keep trampolines
for quick lookup during the unwind.

The patch uses first 48 bytes for latch tree node, leaving 4048
bytes from the rest of the page for trampoline or dispatcher
generated code.

It's still enough not to affect trampoline and dispatcher progs
maximum counts.

in a later patch to implement the bpf_cubic.c.

The helper is inlined for jit_requested and 64 BITS_PER_LONG
as the map_gen_lookup().  Other cases could be considered together
with map_gen_lookup() if needed.

<title>bpf: Introduce dynamic program extensions</title>

<id>be8704ff07d2374bcc5c675526f95e70c6459683</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce dynamic program extensions. The users can load additional BPF
functions and replace global functions in previously loaded BPF programs while
these programs are executing.

Global functions are verified individually by the verifier based on their types only.
Hence the global function in the new program which types match older function can
safely replace that corresponding function.

This new function/program is called 'an extension' of old program. At load time
the verifier uses (attach_prog_fd, attach_btf_id) pair to identify the function
to be replaced. The BPF program type is derived from the target program into
extension program. Technically bpf_verifier_ops is copied from target program.
The BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT program type is a placeholder. It has empty verifier_ops.
The extension program can call the same bpf helper functions as target program.
Single BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT type is used to extend XDP, SKB and all other program
types. The verifier allows only one level of replacement. Meaning that the
extension program cannot recursively extend an extension. That also means that
the maximum stack size is increasing from 512 to 1024 bytes and maximum
function nesting level from 8 to 16. The programs don't always consume that
much. The stack usage is determined by the number of on-stack variables used by
the program. The verifier could have enforced 512 limit for combined original
plus extension program, but it makes for difficult user experience. The main
use case for extensions is to provide generic mechanism to plug external
programs into policy program or function call chaining.

BPF trampoline is used to track both fentry/fexit and program extensions
because both are using the same nop slot at the beginning of every BPF
function. Attaching fentry/fexit to a function that was replaced is not
allowed. The opposite is true as well. Replacing a function that currently
being analyzed with fentry/fexit is not allowed. The executable page allocated
by BPF trampoline is not used by program extensions. This inefficiency will be
optimized in future patches.

Function by function verification of global function supports scalars and
pointer to context only. Hence program extensions are supported for such class
of global functions only. In the future the verifier will be extended with
support to pointers to structures, arrays with sizes, etc.

<title>xdp: Use bulking for non-map XDP_REDIRECT and consolidate code paths</title>
<updated>2020-01-17T04:03:34+00:00</updated>

<id>1d233886dd904edbf239eeffe435c3308ae97625</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the bulk queue used by XDP_REDIRECT now lives in struct net_device,
we can re-use the bulking for the non-map version of the bpf_redirect()
helper. This is a simple matter of having xdp_do_redirect_slow() queue the
frame on the bulk queue instead of sending it out with __bpf_tx_xdp().

Unfortunately we can't make the bpf_redirect() helper return an error if
the ifindex doesn't exit (as bpf_redirect_map() does), because we don't
have a reference to the network namespace of the ingress device at the time
the helper is called. So we have to leave it as-is and keep the device
lookup in xdp_do_redirect_slow().

Since this leaves less reason to have the non-map redirect code in a
separate function, so we get rid of the xdp_do_redirect_slow() function
entirely. This does lose us the tracepoint disambiguation, but fortunately
the xdp_redirect and xdp_redirect_map tracepoints use the same tracepoint
entry structures. This means both can contain a map index, so we can just
amend the tracepoint definitions so we always emit the xdp_redirect(_err)
tracepoints, but with the map ID only populated if a map is present. This
means we retire the xdp_redirect_map(_err) tracepoints entirely, but keep
the definitions around in case someone is still listening for them.

With this change, the performance of the xdp_redirect sample program goes
from 5Mpps to 8.4Mpps (a 68% increase).

Since the flush functions are no longer map-specific, rename the flush()
functions to drop _map from their names. One of the renamed functions is
the xdp_do_flush_map() callback used in all the xdp-enabled drivers. To
keep from having to update all drivers, use a #define to keep the old name
working, and only update the virtual drivers in this patch.

htab can't use generic batch support due some problematic behaviours
inherent to the data structre, i.e. while iterating the bpf map  a
concurrent program might delete the next entry that batch was about to
use, in that case there's no easy solution to retrieve the next entry,
the issue has been discussed multiple times (see [1] and [2]).

The only way hmap can be traversed without the problem previously
exposed is by making sure that the map is traversing entire buckets.
This commit implements those strict requirements for hmap, the
implementation follows the same interaction that generic support with
some exceptions:

 - If keys/values buffer are not big enough to traverse a bucket,
   ENOSPC will be returned.
 - out_batch contains the value of the next bucket in the iteration, not
   the next key, but this is transparent for the user since the user
   should never use out_batch for other than bpf batch syscalls.

This commits implements BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_BATCH and adds support for new
command BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_BATCH. Note that for update/delete
batch ops it is possible to use the generic implementations.

This commit adds generic support for update and delete batch ops that
can be used for almost all the bpf maps. These commands share the same
UAPI attr that lookup and lookup_and_delete batch ops use and the
syscall commands are:

  BPF_MAP_UPDATE_BATCH
  BPF_MAP_DELETE_BATCH

The main difference between update/delete and lookup batch ops is that
for update/delete keys/values must be specified for userspace and
because of that, neither in_batch nor out_batch are used.

This commit adds generic support for update and delete batch ops that
can be used for almost all the bpf maps. These commands share the same
UAPI attr that lookup and lookup_and_delete batch ops use and the
syscall commands are:

  BPF_MAP_UPDATE_BATCH
  BPF_MAP_DELETE_BATCH

This commit introduces generic support for the bpf_map_lookup_batch.
This implementation can be used by almost all the bpf maps since its core
implementation is relying on the existing map_get_next_key and
map_lookup_elem. The bpf syscall subcommand introduced is:

  BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_BATCH

The UAPI attribute is:

  struct { /* struct used by BPF_MAP_*_BATCH commands */
         __aligned_u64   in_batch;       /* start batch,
                                          * NULL to start from beginning
                                          */
         __aligned_u64   out_batch;      /* output: next start batch */
         __aligned_u64   keys;
         __aligned_u64   values;
         __u32           count;          /* input/output:
                                          * input: # of key/value
                                          * elements
                                          * output: # of filled elements
                                          */
         __u32           map_fd;
         __u64           elem_flags;
         __u64           flags;
  } batch;

in_batch/out_batch are opaque values use to communicate between
user/kernel space, in_batch/out_batch must be of key_size length.

To start iterating from the beginning in_batch must be null,
count is the # of key/value elements to retrieve. Note that the 'keys'
buffer must be a buffer of key_size * count size and the 'values' buffer
must be value_size * count, where value_size must be aligned to 8 bytes
by userspace if it's dealing with percpu maps. 'count' will contain the
number of keys/values successfully retrieved. Note that 'count' is an
input/output variable and it can contain a lower value after a call.

If there's no more entries to retrieve, ENOENT will be returned. If error
is ENOENT, count might be &gt; 0 in case it copied some values but there were
no more entries to retrieve.

Note that if the return code is an error and not -EFAULT,
count indicates the number of elements successfully processed.

<title>bpf: Introduce function-by-function verification</title>

New llvm and old llvm with libbpf help produce BTF that distinguish global and
static functions. Unlike arguments of static function the arguments of global
functions cannot be removed or optimized away by llvm. The compiler has to use
exactly the arguments specified in a function prototype. The argument type
information allows the verifier validate each global function independently.
For now only supported argument types are pointer to context and scalars. In
the future pointers to structures, sizes, pointer to packet data can be
supported as well. Consider the following example:

static int f1(int ...)
{
  ...
}

int f3(int b);

int f2(int a)
{
  f1(a) + f3(a);
}

int f3(int b)
{
  ...
}

int main(...)
{
  f1(...) + f2(...) + f3(...);
}

The verifier will start its safety checks from the first global function f2().
It will recursively descend into f1() because it's static. Then it will check
that arguments match for the f3() invocation inside f2(). It will not descend
into f3(). It will finish f2() that has to be successfully verified for all
possible values of 'a'. Then it will proceed with f3(). That function also has
to be safe for all possible values of 'b'. Then it will start subprog 0 (which
is main() function). It will recursively descend into f1() and will skip full
check of f2() and f3(), since they are global. The order of processing global
functions doesn't affect safety, since all global functions must be proven safe
based on their arguments only.

Such function by function verification can drastically improve speed of the
verification and reduce complexity.

Note that the stack limit of 512 still applies to the call chain regardless whether
functions were static or global. The nested level of 8 also still applies. The
same recursion prevention checks are in place as well.

The type information and static/global kind is preserved after the verification
hence in the above example global function f2() and f3() can be replaced later
by equivalent functions with the same types that are loaded and verified later
without affecting safety of this main() program. Such replacement (re-linking)
of global functions is a subject of future patches.
