[ Upstream commit 9c395c1b99bd23f74bc628fa000480c49593d17f ]

This patch adds special BPF_RB_{ROOT,NODE} btf_field_types similar to
BPF_LIST_{HEAD,NODE}, adds the necessary plumbing to detect the new
types, and adds bpf_rb_root_free function for freeing bpf_rb_root in
map_values.

structs bpf_rb_root and bpf_rb_node are opaque types meant to
obscure structs rb_root_cached rb_node, respectively.

btf_struct_access will prevent BPF programs from touching these special
fields automatically now that they're recognized.

btf_check_and_fixup_fields now groups list_head and rb_root together as
"graph root" fields and {list,rb}_node as "graph node", and does same
ownership cycle checking as before. Note that this function does _not_
prevent ownership type mixups (e.g. rb_root owning list_node) - that's
handled by btf_parse_graph_root.

After this patch, a bpf program can have a struct bpf_rb_root in a
map_value, but not add anything to nor do anything useful with it.

<title>bpf: Migrate release_on_unlock logic to non-owning ref semantics</title>

[ Upstream commit 6a3cd3318ff65622415e34e8ee39d76331e7c869 ]

This patch introduces non-owning reference semantics to the verifier,
specifically linked_list API kfunc handling. release_on_unlock logic for
refs is refactored - with small functional changes - to implement these
semantics, and bpf_list_push_{front,back} are migrated to use them.

When a list node is pushed to a list, the program still has a pointer to
the node:

  n = bpf_obj_new(typeof(*n));

  bpf_spin_lock(&amp;l);
  bpf_list_push_back(&amp;l, n);
  /* n still points to the just-added node */
  bpf_spin_unlock(&amp;l);

What the verifier considers n to be after the push, and thus what can be
done with n, are changed by this patch.

Common properties both before/after this patch:
  * After push, n is only a valid reference to the node until end of
    critical section
  * After push, n cannot be pushed to any list
  * After push, the program can read the node's fields using n

Before:
  * After push, n retains the ref_obj_id which it received on
    bpf_obj_new, but the associated bpf_reference_state's
    release_on_unlock field is set to true
    * release_on_unlock field and associated logic is used to implement
      "n is only a valid ref until end of critical section"
  * After push, n cannot be written to, the node must be removed from
    the list before writing to its fields
  * After push, n is marked PTR_UNTRUSTED

After:
  * After push, n's ref is released and ref_obj_id set to 0. NON_OWN_REF
    type flag is added to reg's type, indicating that it's a non-owning
    reference.
    * NON_OWN_REF flag and logic is used to implement "n is only a
      valid ref until end of critical section"
  * n can be written to (except for special fields e.g. bpf_list_node,
    timer, ...)

Summary of specific implementation changes to achieve the above:

  * release_on_unlock field, ref_set_release_on_unlock helper, and logic
    to "release on unlock" based on that field are removed

  * The anonymous active_lock struct used by bpf_verifier_state is
    pulled out into a named struct bpf_active_lock.

  * NON_OWN_REF type flag is introduced along with verifier logic
    changes to handle non-owning refs

  * Helpers are added to use NON_OWN_REF flag to implement non-owning
    ref semantics as described above
    * invalidate_non_owning_refs - helper to clobber all non-owning refs
      matching a particular bpf_active_lock identity. Replaces
      release_on_unlock logic in process_spin_lock.
    * ref_set_non_owning - set NON_OWN_REF type flag after doing some
      sanity checking
    * ref_convert_owning_non_owning - convert owning reference w/
      specified ref_obj_id to non-owning references. Set NON_OWN_REF
      flag for each reg with that ref_obj_id and 0-out its ref_obj_id

  * Update linked_list selftests to account for minor semantic
    differences introduced by this patch
    * Writes to a release_on_unlock node ref are not allowed, while
      writes to non-owning reference pointees are. As a result the
      linked_list "write after push" failure tests are no longer scenarios
      that should fail.
    * The test##missing_lock##op and test##incorrect_lock##op
      macro-generated failure tests need to have a valid node argument in
      order to have the same error output as before. Otherwise
      verification will fail early and the expected error output won't be seen.

[ Upstream commit 30465003ad776a922c32b2dac58db14f120f037e ]

Many of the structs recently added to track field info for linked-list
head are useful as-is for rbtree root. So let's do a mechanical renaming
of list_head-related types and fields:

include/linux/bpf.h:
  struct btf_field_list_head -&gt; struct btf_field_graph_root
  list_head -&gt; graph_root in struct btf_field union
kernel/bpf/btf.c:
  list_head -&gt; graph_root in struct btf_field_info

This is a nonfunctional change, functionality to actually use these
fields for rbtree will be added in further patches.

[ Upstream commit d7ba4cc900bf1eea2d8c807c6b1fc6bd61f41237 ]

This patch changes the return types of bpf_map_ops functions to long, where
previously int was returned. Using long allows for bpf programs to maintain
the sign bit in the absence of sign extension during situations where
inlined bpf helper funcs make calls to the bpf_map_ops funcs and a negative
error is returned.

The definitions of the helper funcs are generated from comments in the bpf
uapi header at `include/uapi/linux/bpf.h`. The return type of these
helpers was previously changed from int to long in commit bdb7b79b4ce8. For
any case where one of the map helpers call the bpf_map_ops funcs that are
still returning 32-bit int, a compiler might not include sign extension
instructions to properly convert the 32-bit negative value a 64-bit
negative value.

For example:
bpf assembly excerpt of an inlined helper calling a kernel function and
checking for a specific error:

; err = bpf_map_update_elem(&amp;mymap, &amp;key, &amp;val, BPF_NOEXIST);
  ...
  46:	call   0xffffffffe103291c	; htab_map_update_elem
; if (err &amp;&amp; err != -EEXIST) {
  4b:	cmp    $0xffffffffffffffef,%rax ; cmp -EEXIST,%rax

kernel function assembly excerpt of return value from
`htab_map_update_elem` returning 32-bit int:

movl $0xffffffef, %r9d
...
movl %r9d, %eax

...results in the comparison:
cmp $0xffffffffffffffef, $0x00000000ffffffef

[ Upstream commit 997849c4b969034e225153f41026657def66d286 ]

Currently the freed element in bpf memory allocator may be immediately
reused, for htab map the reuse will reinitialize special fields in map
value (e.g., bpf_spin_lock), but lookup procedure may still access
these special fields, and it may lead to hard-lockup as shown below:

 NMI backtrace for cpu 16
 CPU: 16 PID: 2574 Comm: htab.bin Tainted: G             L     6.1.0+ #1
 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996),
 RIP: 0010:queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x283/0x2c0

 ......
  &lt;/TASK&gt;

For htab map, just like the preallocated case, these is no need to
initialize these special fields in map value again once these fields
have been initialized. For preallocated htab map, these fields are
initialized through __GFP_ZERO in bpf_map_area_alloc(), so do the
similar thing for non-preallocated htab in bpf memory allocator. And
there is no need to use __GFP_ZERO for per-cpu bpf memory allocator,
because __alloc_percpu_gfp() does it implicitly.

For htab map, just like the preallocated case, these is no need to
initialize these special fields in map value again once these fields
have been initialized. For preallocated htab map, these fields are
initialized through __GFP_ZERO in bpf_map_area_alloc(), so do the
similar thing for non-preallocated htab in bpf memory allocator. And
there is no need to use __GFP_ZERO for per-cpu bpf memory allocator,
because __alloc_percpu_gfp() does it implicitly.

<title>bpf: Rework process_dynptr_func</title>

<content type='text'>
Recently, user ringbuf support introduced a PTR_TO_DYNPTR register type
for use in callback state, because in case of user ringbuf helpers,
there is no dynptr on the stack that is passed into the callback. To
reflect such a state, a special register type was created.

However, some checks have been bypassed incorrectly during the addition
of this feature. First, for arg_type with MEM_UNINIT flag which
initialize a dynptr, they must be rejected for such register type.
Secondly, in the future, there are plans to add dynptr helpers that
operate on the dynptr itself and may change its offset and other
properties.

In all of these cases, PTR_TO_DYNPTR shouldn't be allowed to be passed
to such helpers, however the current code simply returns 0.

The rejection for helpers that release the dynptr is already handled.

For fixing this, we take a step back and rework existing code in a way
that will allow fitting in all classes of helpers and have a coherent
model for dealing with the variety of use cases in which dynptr is used.

First, for ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR, it can either be set alone or together
with a DYNPTR_TYPE_* constant that denotes the only type it accepts.

Next, helpers which initialize a dynptr use MEM_UNINIT to indicate this
fact. To make the distinction clear, use MEM_RDONLY flag to indicate
that the helper only operates on the memory pointed to by the dynptr,
not the dynptr itself. In C parlance, it would be equivalent to taking
the dynptr as a point to const argument.

When either of these flags are not present, the helper is allowed to
mutate both the dynptr itself and also the memory it points to.
Currently, the read only status of the memory is not tracked in the
dynptr, but it would be trivial to add this support inside dynptr state
of the register.

With these changes and renaming PTR_TO_DYNPTR to CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR to
better reflect its usage, it can no longer be passed to helpers that
initialize a dynptr, i.e. bpf_dynptr_from_mem, bpf_ringbuf_reserve_dynptr.

A note to reviewers is that in code that does mark_stack_slots_dynptr,
and unmark_stack_slots_dynptr, we implicitly rely on the fact that
PTR_TO_STACK reg is the only case that can reach that code path, as one
cannot pass CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR to helpers that don't set MEM_RDONLY. In
both cases such helpers won't be setting that flag.

The next patch will add a couple of selftest cases to make sure this
doesn't break.

The networking programs typically don't require CAP_PERFMON, but through kfuncs
like bpf_cast_to_kern_ctx() they can access memory through PTR_TO_BTF_ID. In
such case enforce CAP_PERFMON.
Also make sure that only GPL programs can access kernel data structures.
All kfuncs require GPL already.

Also remove allow_ptr_to_map_access. It's the same as allow_ptr_leaks and
different name for the same check only causes confusion.

10) Rework zero-len skb redirection checks to avoid potentially breaking
    existing BPF test infra users, from Stanislav Fomichev.

11) Two small refactorings which are independent and have been split out
    of the XDP queueing RFC series, from Toke Høiland-Jørgensen.

<title>bpf: Add kfunc bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock()</title>

Add two kfunc's bpf_rcu_read_lock() and bpf_rcu_read_unlock(). These two kfunc's
can be used for all program types. The following is an example about how
rcu pointer are used w.r.t. bpf_rcu_read_lock()/bpf_rcu_read_unlock().

  struct task_struct {
    ...
    struct task_struct              *last_wakee;
    struct task_struct __rcu        *real_parent;
    ...
  };

Let us say prog does 'task = bpf_get_current_task_btf()' to get a
'task' pointer. The basic rules are:
  - 'real_parent = task-&gt;real_parent' should be inside bpf_rcu_read_lock
    region. This is to simulate rcu_dereference() operation. The
    'real_parent' is marked as MEM_RCU only if (1). task-&gt;real_parent is
    inside bpf_rcu_read_lock region, and (2). task is a trusted ptr. So
    MEM_RCU marked ptr can be 'trusted' inside the bpf_rcu_read_lock region.
  - 'last_wakee = real_parent-&gt;last_wakee' should be inside bpf_rcu_read_lock
    region since it tries to access rcu protected memory.
  - the ptr 'last_wakee' will be marked as PTR_UNTRUSTED since in general
    it is not clear whether the object pointed by 'last_wakee' is valid or
    not even inside bpf_rcu_read_lock region.

The verifier will reset all rcu pointer register states to untrusted
at bpf_rcu_read_unlock() kfunc call site, so any such rcu pointer
won't be trusted any more outside the bpf_rcu_read_lock() region.

The current implementation does not support nested rcu read lock
region in the prog.
