<content type='text'>
If BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE flag is used in BPF_PROG_ATTACH command
to the given cgroup the descendent cgroup will be able to override
effective bpf program that was inherited from this cgroup.
By default it's not passed, therefore override is disallowed.

Examples:
1.
prog X attached to /A with default
prog Y fails to attach to /A/B and /A/B/C
Everything under /A runs prog X

2.
prog X attached to /A with allow_override.
prog Y fails to attach to /A/B with default (non-override)
prog M attached to /A/B with allow_override.
Everything under /A/B runs prog M only.

3.
prog X attached to /A with allow_override.
prog Y fails to attach to /A with default.
The user has to detach first to switch the mode.

In the future this behavior may be extended with a chain of
non-overridable programs.

Also fix the bug where detach from cgroup where nothing is attached
was not throwing error. Return ENOENT in such case.

Add several testcases and adjust libbpf.

<title>bpf: allow option for setting bpf_l4_csum_replace from scratch</title>

<content type='text'>
When programs need to calculate the csum from scratch for small UDP
packets and use bpf_l4_csum_replace() to feed the result from helpers
like bpf_csum_diff(), then we need a flag besides BPF_F_MARK_MANGLED_0
that would ignore the case of current csum being 0, and which would
still allow for the helper to set the csum and transform when needed
to CSUM_MANGLED_0.

This trie implements a longest prefix match algorithm that can be used
to match IP addresses to a stored set of ranges.

Internally, data is stored in an unbalanced trie of nodes that has a
maximum height of n, where n is the prefixlen the trie was created
with.

Tries may be created with prefix lengths that are multiples of 8, in
the range from 8 to 2048. The key used for lookup and update operations
is a struct bpf_lpm_trie_key, and the value is a uint64_t.

The code carries more information about the internal implementation.

<title>bpf: add bpf_probe_read_str helper</title>

Provide a simple helper with the same semantics of strncpy_from_unsafe():

int bpf_probe_read_str(void *dst, int size, const void *unsafe_addr)

This gives more flexibility to a bpf program. A typical use case is
intercepting a file name during sys_open(). The current approach is:

SEC("kprobe/sys_open")
void bpf_sys_open(struct pt_regs *ctx)
{
	char buf[PATHLEN]; // PATHLEN is defined to 256
	bpf_probe_read(buf, sizeof(buf), ctx-&gt;di);

	/* consume buf */
}

This is suboptimal because the size of the string needs to be estimated
at compile time, causing more memory to be copied than often necessary,
and can become more problematic if further processing on buf is done,
for example by pushing it to userspace via bpf_perf_event_output(),
since the real length of the string is unknown and the entire buffer
must be copied (and defining an unrolled strnlen() inside the bpf
program is a very inefficient and unfeasible approach).

With the new helper, the code can easily operate on the actual string
length rather than the buffer size:

SEC("kprobe/sys_open")
void bpf_sys_open(struct pt_regs *ctx)
{
	char buf[PATHLEN]; // PATHLEN is defined to 256
	int res = bpf_probe_read_str(buf, sizeof(buf), ctx-&gt;di);

	/* consume buf, for example push it to userspace via
	 * bpf_perf_event_output(), but this time we can use
	 * res (the string length) as event size, after checking
	 * its boundaries.
	 */
}

Another useful use case is when parsing individual process arguments or
individual environment variables navigating current-&gt;mm-&gt;arg_start and
current-&gt;mm-&gt;env_start: using this helper and the return value, one can
quickly iterate at the right offset of the memory area.

The code changes simply leverage the already existent
strncpy_from_unsafe() kernel function, which is safe to be called from a
bpf program as it is used in bpf_trace_printk().

<title>bpf: xdp: Allow head adjustment in XDP prog</title>

<id>17bedab2723145d17b14084430743549e6943d03</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch allows XDP prog to extend/remove the packet
data at the head (like adding or removing header).  It is
done by adding a new XDP helper bpf_xdp_adjust_head().

It also renames bpf_helper_changes_skb_data() to
bpf_helper_changes_pkt_data() to better reflect
that XDP prog does not work on skb.

This patch adds one "xdp_adjust_head" bit to bpf_prog for the
XDP-capable driver to check if the XDP prog requires
bpf_xdp_adjust_head() support.  The driver can then decide
to error out during XDP_SETUP_PROG.

Add new cgroup based program type, BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK. Similar to
BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB programs can be attached to a cgroup and run
any time a process in the cgroup opens an AF_INET or AF_INET6 socket.
Currently only sk_bound_dev_if is exported to userspace for modification
by a bpf program.

This allows a cgroup to be configured such that AF_INET{6} sockets opened
by processes are automatically bound to a specific device. In turn, this
enables the running of programs that do not support SO_BINDTODEVICE in a
specific VRF context / L3 domain.

Registers new BPF program types which correspond to the LWT hooks:
  - BPF_PROG_TYPE_LWT_IN   =&gt; dst_input()
  - BPF_PROG_TYPE_LWT_OUT  =&gt; dst_output()
  - BPF_PROG_TYPE_LWT_XMIT =&gt; lwtunnel_xmit()

The separate program types are required to differentiate between the
capabilities each LWT hook allows:

 * Programs attached to dst_input() or dst_output() are restricted and
   may only read the data of an skb. This prevent modification and
   possible invalidation of already validated packet headers on receive
   and the construction of illegal headers while the IP headers are
   still being assembled.

 * Programs attached to lwtunnel_xmit() are allowed to modify packet
   content as well as prepending an L2 header via a newly introduced
   helper bpf_skb_change_head(). This is safe as lwtunnel_xmit() is
   invoked after the IP header has been assembled completely.

All BPF programs receive an skb with L3 headers attached and may return
one of the following error codes:

 BPF_OK - Continue routing as per nexthop
 BPF_DROP - Drop skb and return EPERM
 BPF_REDIRECT - Redirect skb to device as per redirect() helper.
                (Only valid in lwtunnel_xmit() context)

The return codes are binary compatible with their TC_ACT_
relatives to ease compatibility.

Extend the bpf(2) syscall by two new commands, BPF_PROG_ATTACH and
BPF_PROG_DETACH which allow attaching and detaching eBPF programs
to a target.

On the API level, the target could be anything that has an fd in
userspace, hence the name of the field in union bpf_attr is called
'target_fd'.

When called with BPF_ATTACH_TYPE_CGROUP_INET_{E,IN}GRESS, the target is
expected to be a valid file descriptor of a cgroup v2 directory which
has the bpf controller enabled. These are the only use-cases
implemented by this patch at this point, but more can be added.

If a program of the given type already exists in the given cgroup,
the program is swapped automically, so userspace does not have to drop
an existing program first before installing a new one, which would
otherwise leave a gap in which no program is attached.

For more information on the propagation logic to subcgroups, please
refer to the bpf cgroup controller implementation.

The API is guarded by CAP_NET_ADMIN.
