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. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: John Fastabend <john.fastabend@gmail.com> Acked-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@fb.com> Acked-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200121005348.2769920-2-ast@kernel.org
The patch introduces BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS. The map value
is a kernel struct with its func ptr implemented in bpf prog.
This new map is the interface to register/unregister/introspect
a bpf implemented kernel struct.
The kernel struct is actually embedded inside another new struct
(or called the "value" struct in the code). For example,
"struct tcp_congestion_ops" is embbeded in:
struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops {
refcount_t refcnt;
enum bpf_struct_ops_state state;
struct tcp_congestion_ops data; /* <-- kernel subsystem struct here */
}
The map value is "struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops".
The "bpftool map dump" will then be able to show the
state ("inuse"/"tobefree") and the number of subsystem's refcnt (e.g.
number of tcp_sock in the tcp_congestion_ops case). This "value" struct
is created automatically by a macro. Having a separate "value" struct
will also make extending "struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ" easier (e.g. adding
"void (*init)(void)" to "struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ" to do some
initialization works before registering the struct_ops to the kernel
subsystem). The libbpf will take care of finding and populating the
"struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ" from "struct XYZ".
Register a struct_ops to a kernel subsystem:
1. Load all needed BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog(s)
2. Create a BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS with attr->btf_vmlinux_value_type_id
set to the btf id "struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops" of the
running kernel.
Instead of reusing the attr->btf_value_type_id,
btf_vmlinux_value_type_id s added such that attr->btf_fd can still be
used as the "user" btf which could store other useful sysadmin/debug
info that may be introduced in the furture,
e.g. creation-date/compiler-details/map-creator...etc.
3. Create a "struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops" object as described
in the running kernel btf. Populate the value of this object.
The function ptr should be populated with the prog fds.
4. Call BPF_MAP_UPDATE with the object created in (3) as
the map value. The key is always "0".
During BPF_MAP_UPDATE, the code that saves the kernel-func-ptr's
args as an array of u64 is generated. BPF_MAP_UPDATE also allows
the specific struct_ops to do some final checks in "st_ops->init_member()"
(e.g. ensure all mandatory func ptrs are implemented).
If everything looks good, it will register this kernel struct
to the kernel subsystem. The map will not allow further update
from this point.
Unregister a struct_ops from the kernel subsystem:
BPF_MAP_DELETE with key "0".
Introspect a struct_ops:
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM with key "0". The map value returned will
have the prog _id_ populated as the func ptr.
The map value state (enum bpf_struct_ops_state) will transit from:
INIT (map created) =>
INUSE (map updated, i.e. reg) =>
TOBEFREE (map value deleted, i.e. unreg)
The kernel subsystem needs to call bpf_struct_ops_get() and
bpf_struct_ops_put() to manage the "refcnt" in the
"struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ". This patch uses a separate refcnt
for the purose of tracking the subsystem usage. Another approach
is to reuse the map->refcnt and then "show" (i.e. during map_lookup)
the subsystem's usage by doing map->refcnt - map->usercnt to filter out
the map-fd/pinned-map usage. However, that will also tie down the
future semantics of map->refcnt and map->usercnt.
The very first subsystem's refcnt (during reg()) holds one
count to map->refcnt. When the very last subsystem's refcnt
is gone, it will also release the map->refcnt. All bpf_prog will be
freed when the map->refcnt reaches 0 (i.e. during map_free()).
Here is how the bpftool map command will look like:
[root@arch-fb-vm1 bpf]# bpftool map show
6: struct_ops name dctcp flags 0x0
key 4B value 256B max_entries 1 memlock 4096B

Misc Notes:
* bpf_struct_ops_map_sys_lookup_elem() is added for syscall lookup.
It does an inplace update on "*value" instead returning a pointer
to syscall.c. Otherwise, it needs a separate copy of "zero" value
for the BPF_STRUCT_OPS_STATE_INIT to avoid races.
* The bpf_struct_ops_map_delete_elem() is also called without
preempt_disable() from map_delete_elem(). It is because
the "->unreg()" may requires sleepable context, e.g.
the "tcp_unregister_congestion_control()".
* "const" is added to some of the existing "struct btf_func_model *"
function arg to avoid a compiler warning caused by this patch.

This patch allows the kernel's struct ops (i.e. func ptr) to be implemented in BPF. The first use case in this series is the "struct tcp_congestion_ops" which will be introduced in a latter patch. This patch introduces a new prog type BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS. The BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog is verified against a particular func ptr of a kernel struct. The attr->attach_btf_id is the btf id of a kernel struct. The attr->expected_attach_type is the member "index" of that kernel struct. The first member of a struct starts with member index 0. That will avoid ambiguity when a kernel struct has multiple func ptrs with the same func signature. For example, a BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog is written to implement the "init" func ptr of the "struct tcp_congestion_ops". The attr->attach_btf_id is the btf id of the "struct tcp_congestion_ops" of the _running_ kernel. The attr->expected_attach_type is 3. The ctx of BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS is an array of u64 args saved by arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline that will be done in the next patch when introducing BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS. "struct bpf_struct_ops" is introduced as a common interface for the kernel struct that supports BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog. The supporting kernel struct will need to implement an instance of the "struct bpf_struct_ops". The supporting kernel struct also needs to implement a bpf_verifier_ops. During BPF_PROG_LOAD, bpf_struct_ops_find() will find the right bpf_verifier_ops by searching the attr->attach_btf_id. A new "btf_struct_access" is also added to the bpf_verifier_ops such that the supporting kernel struct can optionally provide its own specific check on accessing the func arg (e.g. provide limited write access). After btf_vmlinux is parsed, the new bpf_struct_ops_init() is called to initialize some values (e.g. the btf id of the supporting kernel struct) and it can only be done once the btf_vmlinux is available. The R0 checks at BPF_EXIT is excluded for the BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog if the return type of the prog->aux->attach_func_proto is "void".

Annotate BPF program context types with program-side type and kernel-side type.
This type information is used by the verifier. btf_get_prog_ctx_type() is
used in the later patches to verify that BTF type of ctx in BPF program matches to
kernel expected ctx type. For example, the XDP program type is:
BPF_PROG_TYPE(BPF_PROG_TYPE_XDP, xdp, struct xdp_md, struct xdp_buff)
That means that XDP program should be written as:
int xdp_prog(struct xdp_md *ctx) { ... }

The bpf program type raw_tp together with 'expected_attach_type' was the most appropriate api to indicate BTF-enabled raw_tp programs. But during development it became apparent that 'expected_attach_type' cannot be used and new 'attach_btf_id' field had to be introduced. Which means that the information is duplicated in two fields where one of them is ignored. Clean it up by introducing new program type where both 'expected_attach_type' and 'attach_btf_id' fields have specific meaning. In the future 'expected_attach_type' will be extended with other attach points that have similar semantics to raw_tp. This patch is replacing BTF-enabled BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT with prog_type = BPF_RPOG_TYPE_TRACING expected_attach_type = BPF_TRACE_RAW_TP attach_btf_id = btf_id of raw tracepoint inside the kernel Future patches will add expected_attach_type = BPF_TRACE_FENTRY or BPF_TRACE_FEXIT where programs have the same input context and the same helpers, but different attach points.

A common pattern when using xdp_redirect_map() is to create a device map where the lookup key is simply ifindex. Because device maps are arrays, this leaves holes in the map, and the map has to be sized to fit the largest ifindex, regardless of how many devices actually are actually needed in the map. This patch adds a second type of device map where the key is looked up using a hashmap, instead of being used as an array index. This allows maps to be densely packed, so they can be smaller.

Implement new BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCKOPT program type and
BPF_CGROUP_{G,S}ETSOCKOPT cgroup hooks.
BPF_CGROUP_SETSOCKOPT can modify user setsockopt arguments before
passing them down to the kernel or bypass kernel completely.
BPF_CGROUP_GETSOCKOPT can can inspect/modify getsockopt arguments that
kernel returns.
Both hooks reuse existing PTR_TO_PACKET{,_END} infrastructure.
The buffer memory is pre-allocated (because I don't think there is
a precedent for working with __user memory from bpf). This might be
slow to do for each {s,g}etsockopt call, that's why I've added
__cgroup_bpf_prog_array_is_empty that exits early if there is nothing
attached to a cgroup. Note, however, that there is a race between
__cgroup_bpf_prog_array_is_empty and BPF_PROG_RUN_ARRAY where cgroup
program layout might have changed; this should not be a problem
because in general there is a race between multiple calls to
{s,g}etsocktop and user adding/removing bpf progs from a cgroup.
The return code of the BPF program is handled as follows:
* 0: EPERM
* 1: success, continue with next BPF program in the cgroup chain
v9:
* allow overwriting setsockopt arguments (Alexei Starovoitov):
* use set_fs (same as kernel_setsockopt)
* buffer is always kzalloc'd (no small on-stack buffer)
v8:
* use s32 for optlen (Andrii Nakryiko)
v7:
* return only 0 or 1 (Alexei Starovoitov)
* always run all progs (Alexei Starovoitov)
* use optval=0 as kernel bypass in setsockopt (Alexei Starovoitov)
(decided to use optval=-1 instead, optval=0 might be a valid input)
* call getsockopt hook after kernel handlers (Alexei Starovoitov)
v6:
* rework cgroup chaining; stop as soon as bpf program returns
0 or 2; see patch with the documentation for the details
* drop Andrii's and Martin's Acked-by (not sure they are comfortable
with the new state of things)
v5:
* skip copy_to_user() and put_user() when ret == 0 (Martin Lau)
v4:
* don't export bpf_sk_fullsock helper (Martin Lau)
* size != sizeof(__u64) for uapi pointers (Martin Lau)
* offsetof instead of bpf_ctx_range when checking ctx access (Martin Lau)

* reverse christmas tree in BPF_PROG_CGROUP_SOCKOPT_RUN_ARRAY (Andrii

* use __bpf_md_ptr instead of __u32 for optval{,_end} (Martin Lau)
* use BPF_FIELD_SIZEOF() for consistency (Martin Lau)
* new CG_SOCKOPT_ACCESS macro to wrap repeated parts
v2:

After allowing a bpf prog to
- directly read the skb->sk ptr
- get the fullsock bpf_sock by "bpf_sk_fullsock()"
- get the bpf_tcp_sock by "bpf_tcp_sock()"
- get the listener sock by "bpf_get_listener_sock()"
- avoid duplicating the fields of "(bpf_)sock" and "(bpf_)tcp_sock"
into different bpf running context.
this patch is another effort to make bpf's network programming
more intuitive to do (together with memory and performance benefit).
When bpf prog needs to store data for a sk, the current practice is to
define a map with the usual 4-tuples (src/dst ip/port) as the key.
If multiple bpf progs require to store different sk data, multiple maps
have to be defined. Hence, wasting memory to store the duplicated
keys (i.e. 4 tuples here) in each of the bpf map.
[ The smallest key could be the sk pointer itself which requires
some enhancement in the verifier and it is a separate topic. ]
Also, the bpf prog needs to clean up the elem when sk is freed.
Otherwise, the bpf map will become full and un-usable quickly.
The sk-free tracking currently could be done during sk state
transition (e.g. BPF_SOCK_OPS_STATE_CB).
The size of the map needs to be predefined which then usually ended-up
with an over-provisioned map in production. Even the map was re-sizable,
while the sk naturally come and go away already, this potential re-size
operation is arguably redundant if the data can be directly connected
to the sk itself instead of proxy-ing through a bpf map.
This patch introduces sk->sk_bpf_storage to provide local storage space
at sk for bpf prog to use. The space will be allocated when the first bpf
prog has created data for this particular sk.
The design optimizes the bpf prog's lookup (and then optionally followed by
an inline update). bpf_spin_lock should be used if the inline update needs
to be protected.
BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE:
-----------------------
To define a bpf "sk-local-storage", a BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE map (new in
this patch) needs to be created. Multiple BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE maps can
be created to fit different bpf progs' needs. The map enforces
BTF to allow printing the sk-local-storage during a system-wise
sk dump (e.g. "ss -ta") in the future.
The purpose of a BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE map is not for lookup/update/delete
a "sk-local-storage" data from a particular sk.
Think of the map as a meta-data (or "type") of a "sk-local-storage". This
particular "type" of "sk-local-storage" data can then be stored in any sk.
The main purposes of this map are mostly:
1. Define the size of a "sk-local-storage" type.
2. Provide a similar syscall userspace API as the map (e.g. lookup/update,
map-id, map-btf...etc.)
3. Keep track of all sk's storages of this "type" and clean them up
when the map is freed.
sk->sk_bpf_storage:
------------------
The main lookup/update/delete is done on sk->sk_bpf_storage (which
is a "struct bpf_sk_storage"). When doing a lookup,
the "map" pointer is now used as the "key" to search on the
sk_storage->list. The "map" pointer is actually serving
as the "type" of the "sk-local-storage" that is being
requested.
To allow very fast lookup, it should be as fast as looking up an
array at a stable-offset. At the same time, it is not ideal to
set a hard limit on the number of sk-local-storage "type" that the
system can have. Hence, this patch takes a cache approach.
The last search result from sk_storage->list is cached in
sk_storage->cache[] which is a stable sized array. Each
"sk-local-storage" type has a stable offset to the cache[] array.
In the future, a map's flag could be introduced to do cache
opt-out/enforcement if it became necessary.
The cache size is 16 (i.e. 16 types of "sk-local-storage").
Programs can share map. On the program side, having a few bpf_progs
running in the networking hotpath is already a lot. The bpf_prog
should have already consolidated the existing sock-key-ed map usage
to minimize the map lookup penalty. 16 has enough runway to grow.
All sk-local-storage data will be removed from sk->sk_bpf_storage
during sk destruction.
bpf_sk_storage_get() and bpf_sk_storage_delete():
------------------------------------------------
Instead of using bpf_map_(lookup|update|delete)_elem(),
the bpf prog needs to use the new helper bpf_sk_storage_get() and
bpf_sk_storage_delete(). The verifier can then enforce the
ARG_PTR_TO_SOCKET argument. The bpf_sk_storage_get() also allows to
"create" new elem if one does not exist in the sk. It is done by
the new BPF_SK_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE flag. An optional value can also be
provided as the initial value during BPF_SK_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE.
The BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE also supports bpf_spin_lock. Together,
it has eliminated the potential use cases for an equivalent
bpf_map_update_elem() API (for bpf_prog) in this patch.
Misc notes:
----------
1. map_get_next_key is not supported. From the userspace syscall
perspective, the map has the socket fd as the key while the map
can be shared by pinned-file or map-id.
Since btf is enforced, the existing "ss" could be enhanced to pretty
print the local-storage.
Supporting a kernel defined btf with 4 tuples as the return key could
be explored later also.
2. The sk->sk_lock cannot be acquired. Atomic operations is used instead.
e.g. cmpxchg is done on the sk->sk_bpf_storage ptr.
Please refer to the source code comments for the details in
synchronization cases and considerations.
3. The mem is charged to the sk->sk_omem_alloc as the sk filter does.
Benchmark:
---------
Here is the benchmark data collected by turning on
the "kernel.bpf_stats_enabled" sysctl.
Two bpf progs are tested:
One bpf prog with the usual bpf hashmap (max_entries = 8192) with the
sk ptr as the key. (verifier is modified to support sk ptr as the key
That should have shortened the key lookup time.)
Another bpf prog is with the new BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE.
Both are storing a "u32 cnt", do a lookup on "egress_skb/cgroup" for
each egress skb and then bump the cnt. netperf is used to drive
data with 4096 connected UDP sockets.

This is an opt-in interface that allows a tracepoint to provide a safe buffer that can be written from a BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT program. The size of the buffer must be a compile-time constant, and is checked before allowing a BPF program to attach to a tracepoint that uses this feature. The pointer to this buffer will be the first argument of tracepoints that opt in; the pointer is valid and can be bpf_probe_read() by both BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT and BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT_WRITABLE programs that attach to such a tracepoint, but the buffer to which it points may only be written by the latter.

Containerized applications may run as root and it may create problems
for whole host. Specifically such applications may change a sysctl and
affect applications in other containers.
Furthermore in existing infrastructure it may not be possible to just
completely disable writing to sysctl, instead such a process should be
gradual with ability to log what sysctl are being changed by a
container, investigate, limit the set of writable sysctl to currently
used ones (so that new ones can not be changed) and eventually reduce
this set to zero.
The patch introduces new program type BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL and
attach type BPF_CGROUP_SYSCTL to solve these problems on cgroup basis.
New program type has access to following minimal context:
struct bpf_sysctl {
__u32 write;
};
Where @write indicates whether sysctl is being read (= 0) or written (=
1).
Helpers to access sysctl name and value will be introduced separately.
BPF_CGROUP_SYSCTL attach point is added to sysctl code right before
passing control to ctl_table->proc_handler so that BPF program can
either allow or deny access to sysctl.
