[ Upstream commit 6c57f0458022298e4da1729c67bd33ce41c14e7a ]

In certain cases, pskb_trim_rcsum() may change skb pointers.
Reinitialize header pointers afterwards to avoid potential
use-after-frees. Add a note in the documentation of
pskb_trim_rcsum(). Found by KASAN.

<title>packet: copy user buffers before orphan or clone</title>

<content type='text'>
tpacket_snd sends packets with user pages linked into skb frags. It
notifies that pages can be reused when the skb is released by setting
skb-&gt;destructor to tpacket_destruct_skb.

This can cause data corruption if the skb is orphaned (e.g., on
transmit through veth) or cloned (e.g., on mirror to another psock).

Create a kernel-private copy of data in these cases, same as tun/tap
zerocopy transmission. Reuse that infrastructure: mark the skb as
SKBTX_ZEROCOPY_FRAG, which will trigger copy in skb_orphan_frags(_rx).

Unlike other zerocopy packets, do not set shinfo destructor_arg to
struct ubuf_info. tpacket_destruct_skb already uses that ptr to notify
when the original skb is released and a timestamp is recorded. Do not
change this timestamp behavior. The ubuf_info-&gt;callback is not needed
anyway, as no zerocopy notification is expected.

Mark destructor_arg as not-a-uarg by setting the lower bit to 1. The
resulting value is not a valid ubuf_info pointer, nor a valid
tpacket_snd frame address. Add skb_zcopy_.._nouarg helpers for this.

The fix relies on features introduced in commit 52267790ef52 ("sock:
add MSG_ZEROCOPY"), so can be backported as is only to 4.14.

Tested with from `./in_netns.sh ./txring_overwrite` from
http://github.com/wdebruij/kerneltools/tests

pull-request: bpf-next 2018-09-25

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Allow for RX stack hardening by implementing the kernel's flow
   dissector in BPF. Idea was originally presented at netconf 2017 [0].
   Quote from merge commit:

     [...] Because of the rigorous checks of the BPF verifier, this
     provides significant security guarantees. In particular, the BPF
     flow dissector cannot get inside of an infinite loop, as with
     CVE-2013-4348, because BPF programs are guaranteed to terminate.
     It cannot read outside of packet bounds, because all memory accesses
     are checked. Also, with BPF the administrator can decide which
     protocols to support, reducing potential attack surface. Rarely
     encountered protocols can be excluded from dissection and the
     program can be updated without kernel recompile or reboot if a
     bug is discovered. [...]

   Also, a sample flow dissector has been implemented in BPF as part
   of this work, from Petar and Willem.

   [0] http://vger.kernel.org/netconf2017_files/rx_hardening_and_udp_gso.pdf

2) Add support for bpftool to list currently active attachment
   points of BPF networking programs providing a quick overview
   similar to bpftool's perf subcommand, from Yonghong.

3) Fix a verifier pruning instability bug where a union member
   from the register state was not cleared properly leading to
   branches not being pruned despite them being valid candidates,
   from Alexei.

4) Various smaller fast-path optimizations in XDP's map redirect
   code, from Jesper.

5) Enable to recognize BPF_MAP_TYPE_REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY maps
   in bpftool, from Roman.

6) Remove a duplicate check in libbpf that probes for function
   storage, from Taeung.

7) Fix an issue in test_progs by avoid checking for errno since
   on success its value should not be checked, from Mauricio.

8) Fix unused variable warning in bpf_getsockopt() helper when
   CONFIG_INET is not configured, from Anders.

9) Fix a compilation failure in the BPF sample code's use of
   bpf_flow_keys, from Prashant.

10) Minor cleanups in BPF code, from Yue and Zhong.

<title>tcp: provide earliest departure time in skb-&gt;tstamp</title>

Switch internal TCP skb-&gt;skb_mstamp to skb-&gt;skb_mstamp_ns,
from usec units to nsec units.

Do not clear skb-&gt;tstamp before entering IP stacks in TX,
so that qdisc or devices can implement pacing based on the
earliest departure time instead of socket sk-&gt;sk_pacing_rate

Packets are fed with tcp_wstamp_ns, and following patch
will update tcp_wstamp_ns when both TCP and sch_fq switch to
the earliest departure time mechanism.

If boolean CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL is enabled, kernel/bpf/syscall.c will
call flow_dissector functions from net/core/flow_dissector.c.

This causes this build failure if CONFIG_NET is disabled:

    kernel/bpf/syscall.o: In function `__x64_sys_bpf':

Analogous to other optional BPF program types in syscall.c, add stubs
if the relevant functions are not compiled and move the BPF_PROG_TYPE

In the long term, in order to get proper list head debugging, we
might want to use the list poison value as the indicator that
an SKB is a singleton and not on a list.
