<title>bpf: Introduce bpf_strtol and bpf_strtoul helpers</title>

<id>d7a4cb9b6705a89937d12c8158a35a3145dc967a</id>
<content type='text'>
Add bpf_strtol and bpf_strtoul to convert a string to long and unsigned
long correspondingly. It's similar to user space strtol(3) and
strtoul(3) with a few changes to the API:

* instead of NUL-terminated C string the helpers expect buffer and
  buffer length;

* resulting long or unsigned long is returned in a separate
  result-argument;

* return value is used to indicate success or failure, on success number
  of consumed bytes is returned that can be used to identify position to
  read next if the buffer is expected to contain multiple integers;

* instead of *base* argument, *flags* is used that provides base in 5
  LSB, other bits are reserved for future use;

* number of supported bases is limited.

Documentation for the new helpers is provided in bpf.h UAPI.

The helpers are made available to BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL programs to
be able to convert string input to e.g. "ulongvec" output.

E.g. "net/ipv4/tcp_mem" consists of three ulong integers. They can be
parsed by calling to bpf_strtoul three times.

Implementation notes:

Implementation includes "../../lib/kstrtox.h" to reuse integer parsing
functions. It's done exactly same way as fs/proc/base.c already does.

Unfortunately existing kstrtoX function can't be used directly since
they fail if any invalid character is present right after integer in the
string. Existing simple_strtoX functions can't be used either since
they're obsolete and don't handle overflow properly.

Introduce BPF_F_LOCK flag for map_lookup and map_update syscall commands
and for map_update() helper function.
In all these cases take a lock of existing element (which was provided
in BTF description) before copying (in or out) the rest of map value.

Implementation details that are part of uapi:

Array:
The array map takes the element lock for lookup/update.

Hash:
hash map also takes the lock for lookup/update and tries to avoid the bucket lock.
If old element exists it takes the element lock and updates the element in place.
If element doesn't exist it allocates new one and inserts into hash table
while holding the bucket lock.
In rare case the hashmap has to take both the bucket lock and the element lock
to update old value in place.

Cgroup local storage:
It is similar to array. update in place and lookup are done with lock taken.

<id>d83525ca62cf8ebe3271d14c36fb900c294274a2</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

Commit f1a2e44a3aec ("bpf: add queue and stack maps") probably just
copy-pasted .pkt_access for bpf_map_{pop,peek}_elem() helpers, but
this is buggy in this context since it would allow writes into cloned
skbs which is invalid. Therefore, disable .pkt_access for the two.

Queue/stack maps implement a FIFO/LIFO data storage for ebpf programs.
These maps support peek, pop and push operations that are exposed to eBPF
programs through the new bpf_map[peek/pop/push] helpers.  Those operations
are exposed to userspace applications through the already existing
syscalls in the following way:

BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM            -&gt; peek
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_ELEM -&gt; pop
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM            -&gt; push

Queue/stack maps are implemented using a buffer, tail and head indexes,
hence BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC is not supported.

As opposite to other maps, queue and stack do not use RCU for protecting
maps values, the bpf_map[peek/pop] have a ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MAP_VALUE
argument that is a pointer to a memory zone where to save the value of a
map.  Basically the same as ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM, but the size has not
be passed as an extra argument.

Our main motivation for implementing queue/stack maps was to keep track
of a pool of elements, like network ports in a SNAT, however we forsee
other use cases, like for exampling saving last N kernel events in a map
and then analysing from userspace.

This commit introduced per-cpu cgroup local storage.

Per-cpu cgroup local storage is very similar to simple cgroup storage
(let's call it shared), except all the data is per-cpu.

The main goal of per-cpu variant is to implement super fast
counters (e.g. packet counters), which don't require neither
lookups, neither atomic operations.

&gt;From userspace's point of view, accessing a per-cpu cgroup storage
is similar to other per-cpu map types (e.g. per-cpu hashmaps and
arrays).

Writing to a per-cpu cgroup storage is not atomic, but is performed
by copying longs, so some minimal atomicity is here, exactly
as with other per-cpu maps.

To simplify the following introduction of per-cpu cgroup storage,
let's rework a bit a mechanism of passing a pointer to a cgroup
storage into the bpf_get_local_storage(). Let's save a pointer
to the corresponding bpf_cgroup_storage structure, instead of
a pointer to the actual buffer.

It will help us to handle per-cpu storage later, which has
a different way of accessing to the actual data.

In order to introduce per-cpu cgroup storage, let's generalize
bpf cgroup core to support multiple cgroup storage types.
Potentially, per-node cgroup storage can be added later.

This commit is mostly a formal change that replaces
cgroup_storage pointer with a array of cgroup_storage pointers.
It doesn't actually introduce a new storage type,
it will be done later.

Each bpf program is now able to have one cgroup storage of each type.

The bpf_get_local_storage() helper function is used
to get a pointer to the bpf local storage from a bpf program.

It takes a pointer to a storage map and flags as arguments.
Right now it accepts only cgroup storage maps, and flags
argument has to be 0. Further it can be extended to support
other types of local storage: e.g. thread local storage etc.
