commit b34ffb0c6d23583830f9327864b9c1f486003305 upstream.

The LRU and LRU_PERCPU maps allocate a new element on update before locking the
target hash table bucket. Right after that the maps try to lock the bucket.
If this fails, then maps return -EBUSY to the caller without releasing the
allocated element. This makes the element untracked: it doesn't belong to
either of free lists, and it doesn't belong to the hash table, so can't be
re-used; this eventually leads to the permanent -ENOMEM on LRU map updates,
which is unexpected. Fix this by returning the element to the local free list
if bucket locking fails.

[ Upstream commit 997849c4b969034e225153f41026657def66d286 ]

Currently the freed element in bpf memory allocator may be immediately
reused, for htab map the reuse will reinitialize special fields in map
value (e.g., bpf_spin_lock), but lookup procedure may still access
these special fields, and it may lead to hard-lockup as shown below:

 NMI backtrace for cpu 16
 CPU: 16 PID: 2574 Comm: htab.bin Tainted: G             L     6.1.0+ #1
 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996),
 RIP: 0010:queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x283/0x2c0
 ......
 Call Trace:
  &lt;TASK&gt;
  copy_map_value_locked+0xb7/0x170

  do_syscall_64+0x30/0x60
  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0
 ......
  &lt;/TASK&gt;

For htab map, just like the preallocated case, these is no need to
initialize these special fields in map value again once these fields
have been initialized. For preallocated htab map, these fields are
initialized through __GFP_ZERO in bpf_map_area_alloc(), so do the
similar thing for non-preallocated htab in bpf memory allocator. And
there is no need to use __GFP_ZERO for per-cpu bpf memory allocator,
because __alloc_percpu_gfp() does it implicitly.

[ Upstream commit 9f907439dc80e4a2fcfb949927b36c036468dbb3 ]

The deadlock still may occur while accessed in NMI and non-NMI
context. Because in NMI, we still may access the same bucket but with
different map_locked index.

For example, on the same CPU, .max_entries = 2, we update the hash map,
with key = 4, while running bpf prog in NMI nmi_handle(), to update
hash map with key = 20, so it will have the same bucket index but have
different map_locked index.

To fix this issue, using min mask to hash again.

The prandom_u32() function has been a deprecated inline wrapper around
get_random_u32() for several releases now, and compiles down to the
exact same code. Replace the deprecated wrapper with a direct call to
the real function. The same also applies to get_random_int(), which is
just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). This was done as a basic find
and replace.

<title>bpf: Always use raw spinlock for hash bucket lock</title>

For a non-preallocated hash map on RT kernel, regular spinlock instead
of raw spinlock is used for bucket lock. The reason is that on RT kernel
memory allocation is forbidden under atomic context and regular spinlock
is sleepable under RT.

Now hash map has been fully converted to use bpf_map_alloc, and there
will be no synchronous memory allocation for non-preallocated hash map,
so it is safe to always use raw spinlock for bucket lock on RT. So
removing the usage of htab_use_raw_lock() and updating the comments
accordingly.

User space might be creating and destroying a lot of hash maps. Synchronous
rcu_barrier-s in a destruction path of hash map delay freeing of hash buckets
and other map memory and may cause artificial OOM situation under stress.
Optimize rcu_barrier usage between bpf hash map and bpf_mem_alloc:
- remove rcu_barrier from hash map, since htab doesn't use call_rcu
  directly and there are no callback to wait for.
- bpf_mem_alloc has call_rcu_in_progress flag that indicates pending callbacks.
  Use it to avoid barriers in fast path.
- When barriers are needed copy bpf_mem_alloc into temp structure
  and wait for rcu barrier-s in the worker to let the rest of
  hash map freeing to proceed.

Convert dynamic allocations in percpu hash map from alloc_percpu() to
bpf_mem_cache_alloc() from per-cpu bpf_mem_alloc. Since bpf_mem_alloc frees
objects after RCU gp the call_rcu() is removed. pcpu_init_value() now needs to
zero-fill per-cpu allocations, since dynamically allocated map elements are now
similar to full prealloc, since alloc_percpu() is not called inline and the
elements are reused in the freelist.

Extend bpf_mem_alloc to cache free list of fixed size per-cpu allocations.
Once such cache is created bpf_mem_cache_alloc() will return per-cpu objects.
bpf_mem_cache_free() will free them back into global per-cpu pool after
observing RCU grace period.
per-cpu flavor of bpf_mem_alloc is going to be used by per-cpu hash maps.

The free list cache consists of tuples { llist_node, per-cpu pointer }
Unlike alloc_percpu() that returns per-cpu pointer
the bpf_mem_cache_alloc() returns a pointer to per-cpu pointer and
bpf_mem_cache_free() expects to receive it back.

Doing call_rcu() million times a second becomes a bottle neck.
Convert non-preallocated hash map from call_rcu to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU.
The rcu critical section is no longer observed for one htab element
which makes non-preallocated hash map behave just like preallocated hash map.
The map elements are released back to kernel memory after observing
rcu critical section.
This improves 'map_perf_test 4' performance from 100k events per second
to 250k events per second.

bpf_mem_alloc + percpu_counter + typesafe_by_rcu provide 10x performance
boost to non-preallocated hash map and make it within few % of preallocated map
while consuming fraction of memory.
