[ Upstream commit 7c8ce4ffb684676039b1ff9ff81c126794e8d88e ]

Without kernel symbols for struct_ops trampoline, the unwinder may
produce unexpected stacktraces.

For example, the x86 ORC and FP unwinders check if an IP is in kernel
text by verifying the presence of the IP's kernel symbol. When a
struct_ops trampoline address is encountered, the unwinder stops due
to the absence of symbol, resulting in an incomplete stacktrace that
consists only of direct and indirect child functions called from the
trampoline.

The arm64 unwinder is another example. While the arm64 unwinder can
proceed across a struct_ops trampoline address, the corresponding
symbol name is displayed as "unknown", which is confusing.

Thus, add kernel symbol for struct_ops trampoline. The name is
bpf__&lt;struct_ops_name&gt;_&lt;member_name&gt;, where &lt;struct_ops_name&gt; is the
type name of the struct_ops, and &lt;member_name&gt; is the name of
the member that the trampoline is linked to.

Below is a comparison of stacktraces captured on x86 by perf record,
before and after this patch.

<title>bpf: Mark raw_tp arguments with PTR_MAYBE_NULL</title>

[ Upstream commit cb4158ce8ec8a5bb528cc1693356a5eb8058094d ]

Arguments to a raw tracepoint are tagged as trusted, which carries the
semantics that the pointer will be non-NULL.  However, in certain cases,
a raw tracepoint argument may end up being NULL. More context about this
issue is available in [0].

Thus, there is a discrepancy between the reality, that raw_tp arguments
can actually be NULL, and the verifier's knowledge, that they are never
NULL, causing explicit NULL checks to be deleted, and accesses to such
pointers potentially crashing the kernel.

To fix this, mark raw_tp arguments as PTR_MAYBE_NULL, and then special
case the dereference and pointer arithmetic to permit it, and allow
passing them into helpers/kfuncs; these exceptions are made for raw_tp
programs only. Ensure that we don't do this when ref_obj_id &gt; 0, as in
that case this is an acquired object and doesn't need such adjustment.

The reason we do mask_raw_tp_trusted_reg logic is because other will
recheck in places whether the register is a trusted_reg, and then
consider our register as untrusted when detecting the presence of the
PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag.

To allow safe dereference, we enable PROBE_MEM marking when we see loads
into trusted pointers with PTR_MAYBE_NULL.

While trusted raw_tp arguments can also be passed into helpers or kfuncs
where such broken assumption may cause issues, a future patch set will
tackle their case separately, as PTR_TO_BTF_ID (without PTR_TRUSTED) can
already be passed into helpers and causes similar problems. Thus, they
are left alone for now.

It is possible that these checks also permit passing non-raw_tp args
that are trusted PTR_TO_BTF_ID with null marking. In such a case,
allowing dereference when pointer is NULL expands allowed behavior, so
won't regress existing programs, and the case of passing these into
helpers is the same as above and will be dealt with later.

Also update the failure case in tp_btf_nullable selftest to capture the
new behavior, as the verifier will no longer cause an error when
directly dereference a raw tracepoint argument marked as __nullable.

Add a MEM_WRITE attribute for BPF helper functions which can be used in
bpf_func_proto to annotate an argument type in order to let the verifier
know that the helper writes into the memory passed as an argument. In
the past MEM_UNINIT has been (ab)used for this function, but the latter
merely tells the verifier that the passed memory can be uninitialized.

There have been bugs with overloading the latter but aside from that
there are also cases where the passed memory is read + written which
currently cannot be expressed, see also 4b3786a6c539 ("bpf: Zero former
ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} args in case of error").

Lonial found an issue that despite user- and BPF-side frozen BPF map
(like in case of .rodata), it was still possible to write into it from
a BPF program side through specific helpers having ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT}
as arguments.

In check_func_arg() when the argument is as mentioned, the meta-&gt;raw_mode
is never set. Later, check_helper_mem_access(), under the case of
PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE as register base type, it assumes BPF_READ for the
subsequent call to check_map_access_type() and given the BPF map is
read-only it succeeds.

The helpers really need to be annotated as ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} | MEM_UNINIT
when results are written into them as opposed to read out of them. The
latter indicates that it's okay to pass a pointer to uninitialized memory
as the memory is written to anyway.

However, ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} is a special case of ARG_PTR_TO_FIXED_SIZE_MEM
just with additional alignment requirement. So it is better to just get
rid of the ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} special cases altogether and reuse the
fixed size memory types. For this, add MEM_ALIGNED to additionally ensure
alignment given these helpers write directly into the args via *&lt;ptr&gt; = val.
The .arg*_size has been initialized reflecting the actual sizeof(*&lt;ptr&gt;).

MEM_ALIGNED can only be used in combination with MEM_FIXED_SIZE annotated
argument types, since in !MEM_FIXED_SIZE cases the verifier does not know
the buffer size a priori and therefore cannot blindly write *&lt;ptr&gt; = val.

need to be a separate project), only build ID fetching is sleepable and
thus more reliable, as it will wait for data to be paged in, if
necessary. For that we make use of sleepable build_id_parse()
implementation.

Now that build ID related internals in kernel/bpf/stackmap.c can be used
both in sleepable and non-sleepable contexts, we need to add additional
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() protection around fetching
perf_callchain_entry, but with the refactoring in previous commit it's
now pretty straightforward. We make sure to do rcu_read_unlock (in
sleepable mode only) right before stack_map_get_build_id_offset() call
which can sleep. By that time we don't have any more use of
perf_callchain_entry.

Note, bpf_get_task_stack() will fail for user mode if task != current.
And for kernel mode build ID are irrelevant. So in that sense adding
sleepable bpf_get_task_stack() implementation is a no-op. It feel right
to wire this up for symmetry and completeness, but I'm open to just
dropping it until we support `user &amp;&amp; crosstask` condition.

<title>bpf: Add gen_epilogue to bpf_verifier_ops</title>

<id>169c31761c8d7f606f3ee628829c27998626c4f0</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds a .gen_epilogue to the bpf_verifier_ops. It is similar
to the existing .gen_prologue. Instead of allowing a subsystem
to run code at the beginning of a bpf prog, it allows the subsystem
to run code just before the bpf prog exit.

One of the use case is to allow the upcoming bpf qdisc to ensure that
the skb-&gt;dev is the same as the qdisc-&gt;dev_queue-&gt;dev. The bpf qdisc
struct_ops implementation could either fix it up or drop the skb.
Another use case could be in bpf_tcp_ca.c to enforce snd_cwnd
has sane value (e.g. non zero).

The epilogue can do the useful thing (like checking skb-&gt;dev) if it
can access the bpf prog's ctx. Unlike prologue, r1 may not hold the
ctx pointer. This patch saves the r1 in the stack if the .gen_epilogue
has returned some instructions in the "epilogue_buf".

The existing .gen_prologue is done in convert_ctx_accesses().
The new .gen_epilogue is done in the convert_ctx_accesses() also.
When it sees the (BPF_JMP | BPF_EXIT) instruction, it will be patched
with the earlier generated "epilogue_buf". The epilogue patching is
only done for the main prog.

Only one epilogue will be patched to the main program. When the
bpf prog has multiple BPF_EXIT instructions, a BPF_JA is used
to goto the earlier patched epilogue. Majority of the archs
support (BPF_JMP32 | BPF_JA): x86, arm, s390, risv64, loongarch,
powerpc and arc. This patch keeps it simple and always
use (BPF_JMP32 | BPF_JA). A new macro BPF_JMP32_A is added to
generate the (BPF_JMP32 | BPF_JA) insn.

<title>bpf: Rename ARG_PTR_TO_KPTR -&gt; ARG_KPTR_XCHG_DEST</title>

ARG_PTR_TO_KPTR is currently only used by the bpf_kptr_xchg helper.
Although it limits reg types for that helper's first arg to
PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE, any arbitrary mapval won't do: further custom
verification logic ensures that the mapval reg being xchgd-into is
pointing to a kptr field. If this is not the case, it's not safe to xchg
into that reg's pointee.

Let's rename the bpf_arg_type to more accurately describe the fairly
specific expectations that this arg type encodes.

This is a nonfunctional change.

Attribute used by LLVM implementation of the feature had been changed
from no_caller_saved_registers to bpf_fastcall (see [1]).
This commit replaces references to nocsr by references to bpf_fastcall
to keep LLVM and Kernel parts in sync.

The helper bpf_current_task_under_cgroup() currently is only allowed for
tracing programs, allow its usage also in the BPF_CGROUP_* program types.

Move the code from kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c to kernel/bpf/helpers.c,
so it compiles also without CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS.

This will be used in systemd-networkd to monitor the sysctl writes,
and filter it's own writes from others:
