[ Upstream commit 20c20bd11a0702ce4dc9300c3da58acf551d9725 ]

map is the pointer of outer map, and need_defer needs some explanation.
need_defer tells the implementation to defer the reference release of
the passed element and ensure that the element is still alive before
the bpf program, which may manipulate it, exits.

The following three cases will invoke map_fd_put_ptr() and different
need_defer values will be passed to these callers:

1) release the reference of the old element in the map during map update
   or map deletion. The release must be deferred, otherwise the bpf
   program may incur use-after-free problem, so need_defer needs to be
   true.
2) release the reference of the to-be-added element in the error path of
   map update. The to-be-added element is not visible to any bpf
   program, so it is OK to pass false for need_defer parameter.
3) release the references of all elements in the map during map release.
   Any bpf program which has access to the map must have been exited and
   released, so need_defer=false will be OK.

These two parameters will be used by the following patches to fix the
potential use-after-free problem for map-in-map.

[ Upstream commit d3bec0138bfbe58606fc1d6f57a4cdc1a20218db ]

Zero-fill element values for all other cpus than current, just as
when not using prealloc. This is the only way the bpf program can
ensure known initial values for all cpus ('onallcpus' cannot be
set when coming from the bpf program).

The scenario is: bpf program inserts some elements in a per-cpu
map, then deletes some (or userspace does). When later adding
new elements using bpf_map_update_elem(), the bpf program can
only set the value of the new elements for the current cpu.
When prealloc is enabled, previously deleted elements are re-used.
Without the fix, values for other cpus remain whatever they were
when the re-used entry was previously freed.

A selftest is added to validate correct operation in above
scenario as well as in case of LRU per-cpu map element re-use.

If an element is freed via RCU then recursion into BPF instrumentation
functions is not a concern. The element is already detached from the map
and the RCU callback does not hold any locks on which a kprobe, perf event
or tracepoint attached BPF program could deadlock.

Fix HASH_OF_MAPS bug of not putting inner map pointer on bpf_map_elem_update()
operation. This is due to per-cpu extra_elems optimization, which bypassed
free_htab_elem() logic doing proper clean ups. Make sure that inner map is put
properly in optimized case as well.

<title>bpf: rework memlock-based memory accounting for maps</title>

<id>b936ca643ade11f265fa10e5fb71c20d9c5243f1</id>
<content type='text'>
In order to unify the existing memlock charging code with the
memcg-based memory accounting, which will be added later, let's
rework the current scheme.

Currently the following design is used:
  1) .alloc() callback optionally checks if the allocation will likely
     succeed using bpf_map_precharge_memlock()
  2) .alloc() performs actual allocations
  3) .alloc() callback calculates map cost and sets map.memory.pages
  4) map_create() calls bpf_map_init_memlock() which sets map.memory.user
     and performs actual charging; in case of failure the map is
     destroyed
  &lt;map is in use&gt;
  1) bpf_map_free_deferred() calls bpf_map_release_memlock(), which
     performs uncharge and releases the user
  2) .map_free() callback releases the memory

The scheme can be simplified and made more robust:
  1) .alloc() calculates map cost and calls bpf_map_charge_init()
  2) bpf_map_charge_init() sets map.memory.user and performs actual
    charge
  3) .alloc() performs actual allocations
  &lt;map is in use&gt;
  1) .map_free() callback releases the memory
  2) bpf_map_charge_finish() performs uncharge and releases the user

The new scheme also allows to reuse bpf_map_charge_init()/finish()
functions for memcg-based accounting. Because charges are performed
before actual allocations and uncharges after freeing the memory,
no bogus memory pressure can be created.

In cases when the map structure is not available (e.g. it's not
created yet, or is already destroyed), on-stack bpf_map_memory
structure is used. The charge can be transferred with the
bpf_map_charge_move() function.

Group "user" and "pages" fields of bpf_map into the bpf_map_memory
structure. Later it can be extended with "memcg" and other related
information.

The main reason for a such change (beside cosmetics) is to pass
bpf_map_memory structure to charging functions before the actual
allocation of bpf_map.

One of the biggest issues we face right now with picking LRU map over
regular hash table is that a map walk out of user space, for example,
to just dump the existing entries or to remove certain ones, will
completely mess up LRU eviction heuristics and wrong entries such
as just created ones will get evicted instead. The reason for this
is that we mark an entry as "in use" via bpf_lru_node_set_ref() from
system call lookup side as well. Thus upon walk, all entries are
being marked, so information of actual least recently used ones
are "lost".

In case of Cilium where it can be used (besides others) as a BPF
based connection tracker, this current behavior causes disruption
upon control plane changes that need to walk the map from user space
to evict certain entries. Discussion result from bpfconf [0] was that
we should simply just remove marking from system call side as no
good use case could be found where it's actually needed there.
Therefore this patch removes marking for regular LRU and per-CPU
flavor. If there ever should be a need in future, the behavior could
be selected via map creation flag, but due to mentioned reason we
avoid this here.
