Introduce 'struct bpf_spin_lock' and bpf_spin_lock/unlock() helpers to let
bpf program serialize access to other variables.

Example:
struct hash_elem {
    int cnt;
    struct bpf_spin_lock lock;
};
struct hash_elem * val = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&amp;hash_map, &amp;key);
if (val) {
    bpf_spin_lock(&amp;val-&gt;lock);
    val-&gt;cnt++;
    bpf_spin_unlock(&amp;val-&gt;lock);
}

Restrictions and safety checks:
- bpf_spin_lock is only allowed inside HASH and ARRAY maps.
- BTF description of the map is mandatory for safety analysis.
- bpf program can take one bpf_spin_lock at a time, since two or more can
  cause dead locks.
- only one 'struct bpf_spin_lock' is allowed per map element.
  It drastically simplifies implementation yet allows bpf program to use
  any number of bpf_spin_locks.
- when bpf_spin_lock is taken the calls (either bpf2bpf or helpers) are not allowed.
- bpf program must bpf_spin_unlock() before return.
- bpf program can access 'struct bpf_spin_lock' only via
  bpf_spin_lock()/bpf_spin_unlock() helpers.
- load/store into 'struct bpf_spin_lock lock;' field is not allowed.
- to use bpf_spin_lock() helper the BTF description of map value must be
  a struct and have 'struct bpf_spin_lock anyname;' field at the top level.
  Nested lock inside another struct is not allowed.
- syscall map_lookup doesn't copy bpf_spin_lock field to user space.
- syscall map_update and program map_update do not update bpf_spin_lock field.
- bpf_spin_lock cannot be on the stack or inside networking packet.
  bpf_spin_lock can only be inside HASH or ARRAY map value.
- bpf_spin_lock is available to root only and to all program types.
- bpf_spin_lock is not allowed in inner maps of map-in-map.
- ld_abs is not allowed inside spin_lock-ed region.
- tracing progs and socket filter progs cannot use bpf_spin_lock due to
  insufficient preemption checks

Implementation details:
- cgroup-bpf class of programs can nest with xdp/tc programs.
  Hence bpf_spin_lock is equivalent to spin_lock_irqsave.
  Other solutions to avoid nested bpf_spin_lock are possible.
  Like making sure that all networking progs run with softirq disabled.
  spin_lock_irqsave is the simplest and doesn't add overhead to the
  programs that don't use it.
- arch_spinlock_t is used when its implemented as queued_spin_lock
- archs can force their own arch_spinlock_t
- on architectures where queued_spin_lock is not available and
  sizeof(arch_spinlock_t) != sizeof(__u32) trivial lock is used.
- presence of bpf_spin_lock inside map value could have been indicated via
  extra flag during map_create, but specifying it via BTF is cleaner.
  It provides introspection for map key/value and reduces user mistakes.

Next steps:
- allow bpf_spin_lock in other map types (like cgroup local storage)
- introduce BPF_F_LOCK flag for bpf_map_update() syscall and helper
  to request kernel to grab bpf_spin_lock before rewriting the value.
  That will serialize access to map elements.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2019-01-29

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

The main changes are:

1) Teach verifier dead code removal, this also allows for optimizing /
   removing conditional branches around dead code and to shrink the
   resulting image. Code store constrained architectures like nfp would
   have hard time doing this at JIT level, from Jakub.

2) Add JMP32 instructions to BPF ISA in order to allow for optimizing
   code generation for 32-bit sub-registers. Evaluation shows that this
   can result in code reduction of ~5-20% compared to 64 bit-only code
   generation. Also add implementation for most JITs, from Jiong.

3) Add support for __int128 types in BTF which is also needed for
   vmlinux's BTF conversion to work, from Yonghong.

4) Add a new command to bpftool in order to dump a list of BPF-related
   parameters from the system or for a specific network device e.g. in
   terms of available prog/map types or helper functions, from Quentin.

5) Add AF_XDP sock_diag interface for querying sockets from user
   space which provides information about the RX/TX/fill/completion
   rings, umem, memory usage etc, from Björn.

6) Add skb context access for skb_shared_info-&gt;gso_segs field, from Eric.

7) Add support for testing flow dissector BPF programs by extending
   existing BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN infrastructure, from Stanislav.

8) Split BPF kselftest's test_verifier into various subgroups of tests
   in order better deal with merge conflicts in this area, from Jakub.

9) Add support for queue/stack manipulations in bpftool, from Stanislav.

10) Document BTF, from Yonghong.

11) Dump supported ELF section names in libbpf on program load
    failure, from Taeung.

12) Silence a false positive compiler warning in verifier's BTF
    handling, from Peter.

13) Fix help string in bpftool's feature probing, from Prashant.

14) Remove duplicate includes in BPF kselftests, from Yue.

Currently, btf only supports up to 64-bit integer.
On the other hand, 128bit support for gcc and clang
has existed for a long time. For example, both gcc 4.8
and llvm 3.7 supports types "__int128" and
"unsigned __int128" for virtually all 64bit architectures
including bpf.

The requirement for __int128 support comes from two areas:
  . bpf program may use __int128. For example, some bcc tools
    (https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/tree/master/tools),
    mostly tcp v6 related, tcpstates.py, tcpaccept.py, etc.,
    are using __int128 to represent the ipv6 addresses.
  . linux itself is using __int128 types. Hence supporting
    __int128 type in BTF is required for vmlinux BTF,
    which will be used by "compile once and run everywhere"
    and other projects.

For 128bit integer, instead of base-10, hex numbers are pretty
printed out as large decimal number is hard to decipher, e.g.,
for ipv6 addresses.

Commit 9d5f9f701b18 ("bpf: btf: fix struct/union/fwd types
with kind_flag") introduced kind_flag and used bitfield_size
in the btf_member to directly pretty print member values.

The commit contained a bug where the incorrect parameters could be
passed to function btf_bitfield_seq_show(). The bits_offset
parameter in the function expects a value less than 8.
Instead, the member offset in the structure is passed.

The below is btf_bitfield_seq_show() func signature:
  void btf_bitfield_seq_show(void *data, u8 bits_offset,
                             u8 nr_bits, struct seq_file *m)
both bits_offset and nr_bits are u8 type. If the bitfield
member offset is greater than 256, incorrect value will
be printed.

This patch fixed the issue by calculating correct proper
data offset and bits_offset similar to non kind_flag case.

Instead, the member offset in the structure is passed.

The below is btf_bitfield_seq_show() func signature:
  void btf_bitfield_seq_show(void *data, u8 bits_offset,
                             u8 nr_bits, struct seq_file *m)
both bits_offset and nr_bits are u8 type. If the bitfield
member offset is greater than 256, incorrect value will
be printed.

This patch fixed the issue by calculating correct proper
data offset and bits_offset similar to non kind_flag case.

Current btf internal verbose logger logs fwd type as
  [2] FWD A type_id=0
where A is the type name.

Commit 9d5f9f701b18 ("bpf: btf: fix struct/union/fwd types
with kind_flag") introduced kind_flag which can be used
to distinguish whether a forward type is a struct or
union.

Also, "type_id=0" does not carry any meaningful
information for fwd type as btf_type.type = 0 is simply
enforced during btf verification and is not used
anywhere else.

This commit changed the log to
  [2] FWD A struct
if kind_flag = 0, or
  [2] FWD A union
if kind_flag = 1.

Commit 970289fc0a83 ("bpf: add bpffs pretty print for cgroup
local storage maps") added bpffs pretty print for cgroup
local storage maps. The commit worked for struct without kind_flag
set.

This patch refactored and made pretty print also work
with kind_flag set for the struct.

<id>9d5f9f701b1891466fb3dbb1806ad97716f95cc3</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch fixed two issues with BTF. One is related to
struct/union bitfield encoding and the other is related to
forward type.

Issue #1 and solution:

======================

Current btf encoding of bitfield follows what pahole generates.
For each bitfield, pahole will duplicate the type chain and
put the bitfield size at the final int or enum type.
Since the BTF enum type cannot encode bit size,
pahole workarounds the issue by generating
an int type whenever the enum bit size is not 32.

For example,
  -bash-4.4$ cat t.c
  typedef int ___int;
  enum A { A1, A2, A3 };
  struct t {
    int a[5];
    ___int b:4;
    volatile enum A c:4;
  } g;
  -bash-4.4$ gcc -c -O2 -g t.c
The current kernel supports the following BTF encoding:
  $ pahole -JV t.o
  [1] TYPEDEF ___int type_id=2
  [2] INT int size=4 bit_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED
  [3] ENUM A size=4 vlen=3
        A1 val=0
        A2 val=1
        A3 val=2
  [4] STRUCT t size=24 vlen=3
        a type_id=5 bits_offset=0
        b type_id=9 bits_offset=160
        c type_id=11 bits_offset=164
  [5] ARRAY (anon) type_id=2 index_type_id=2 nr_elems=5
  [6] INT sizetype size=8 bit_offset=0 nr_bits=64 encoding=(none)
  [7] VOLATILE (anon) type_id=3
  [8] INT int size=1 bit_offset=0 nr_bits=4 encoding=(none)
  [9] TYPEDEF ___int type_id=8
  [10] INT (anon) size=1 bit_offset=0 nr_bits=4 encoding=SIGNED
  [11] VOLATILE (anon) type_id=10

Two issues are in the above:
  . by changing enum type to int, we lost the original
    type information and this will not be ideal later
    when we try to convert BTF to a header file.
  . the type duplication for bitfields will cause
    BTF bloat. Duplicated types cannot be deduplicated
    later if the bitfield size is different.

To fix this issue, this patch implemented a compatible
change for BTF struct type encoding:
  . the bit 31 of struct_type-&gt;info, previously reserved,
    now is used to indicate whether bitfield_size is
    encoded in btf_member or not.
  . if bit 31 of struct_type-&gt;info is set,
    btf_member-&gt;offset will encode like:
      bit 0 - 23: bit offset
      bit 24 - 31: bitfield size
    if bit 31 is not set, the old behavior is preserved:
      bit 0 - 31: bit offset

So if the struct contains a bit field, the maximum bit offset
will be reduced to (2^24 - 1) instead of MAX_UINT. The maximum
bitfield size will be 256 which is enough for today as maximum
bitfield in compiler can be 128 where int128 type is supported.

This kernel patch intends to support the new BTF encoding:
  $ pahole -JV t.o
  [1] TYPEDEF ___int type_id=2
  [2] INT int size=4 bit_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED
  [3] ENUM A size=4 vlen=3
        A1 val=0
        A2 val=1
        A3 val=2
  [4] STRUCT t kind_flag=1 size=24 vlen=3
        a type_id=5 bitfield_size=0 bits_offset=0
        b type_id=1 bitfield_size=4 bits_offset=160
        c type_id=7 bitfield_size=4 bits_offset=164
  [5] ARRAY (anon) type_id=2 index_type_id=2 nr_elems=5
  [6] INT sizetype size=8 bit_offset=0 nr_bits=64 encoding=(none)
  [7] VOLATILE (anon) type_id=3

Issue #2 and solution:
======================

Current forward type in BTF does not specify whether the original
type is struct or union. This will not work for type pretty print
and BTF-to-header-file conversion as struct/union must be specified.
  $ cat tt.c
  struct t;
  union u;
  int foo(struct t *t, union u *u) { return 0; }
  $ gcc -c -g -O2 tt.c
  $ pahole -JV tt.o
  [1] INT int size=4 bit_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED
  [2] FWD t type_id=0
  [3] PTR (anon) type_id=2
  [4] FWD u type_id=0
  [5] PTR (anon) type_id=4

To fix this issue, similar to issue #1, type-&gt;info bit 31
is used. If the bit is set, it is union type. Otherwise, it is
a struct type.

  $ pahole -JV tt.o
  [1] INT int size=4 bit_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED
  [2] FWD t kind_flag=0 type_id=0
  [3] PTR (anon) kind_flag=0 type_id=2
  [4] FWD u kind_flag=1 type_id=0
  [5] PTR (anon) kind_flag=0 type_id=4

Pahole/LLVM change:
===================

The new kind_flag functionality has been implemented in pahole
and llvm:
  https://github.com/yonghong-song/pahole/tree/bitfield
  https://github.com/yonghong-song/llvm/tree/bitfield

Note that pahole hasn't implemented func/func_proto kind
and .BTF.ext. So to print function signature with bpftool,
the llvm compiler should be used.
