[ Upstream commit a6fcd19d7eac1335eb76bc16b6a66b7f574d1d69 ]

Currently, the same case as previous patch (two timer callbacks trying
to cancel each other) can be invoked through bpf_map_update_elem as
well, or more precisely, freeing map elements containing timers. Since
this relies on hrtimer_cancel as well, it is prone to the same deadlock
situation as the previous patch.

It would be sufficient to use hrtimer_try_to_cancel to fix this problem,
as the timer cannot be enqueued after async_cancel_and_free. Once
async_cancel_and_free has been done, the timer must be reinitialized
before it can be armed again. The callback running in parallel trying to
arm the timer will fail, and freeing bpf_hrtimer without waiting is
sufficient (given kfree_rcu), and bpf_timer_cb will return
HRTIMER_NORESTART, preventing the timer from being rearmed again.

However, there exists a UAF scenario where the callback arms the timer
before entering this function, such that if cancellation fails (due to
timer callback invoking this routine, or the target timer callback
running concurrently). In such a case, if the timer expiration is
significantly far in the future, the RCU grace period expiration
happening before it will free the bpf_hrtimer state and along with it
the struct hrtimer, that is enqueued.

Hence, it is clear cancellation needs to occur after
async_cancel_and_free, and yet it cannot be done inline due to deadlock
issues. We thus modify bpf_timer_cancel_and_free to defer work to the
global workqueue, adding a work_struct alongside rcu_head (both used at
_different_ points of time, so can share space).

Update existing code comments to reflect the new state of affairs.

<title>bpf: Fail bpf_timer_cancel when callback is being cancelled</title>

[ Upstream commit d4523831f07a267a943f0dde844bf8ead7495f13 ]

Given a schedule:

timer1 cb			timer2 cb

bpf_timer_cancel(timer2);	bpf_timer_cancel(timer1);

Both bpf_timer_cancel calls would wait for the other callback to finish
executing, introducing a lockup.

Add an atomic_t count named 'cancelling' in bpf_hrtimer. This keeps
track of all in-flight cancellation requests for a given BPF timer.
Whenever cancelling a BPF timer, we must check if we have outstanding
cancellation requests, and if so, we must fail the operation with an
error (-EDEADLK) since cancellation is synchronous and waits for the
callback to finish executing. This implies that we can enter a deadlock
situation involving two or more timer callbacks executing in parallel
and attempting to cancel one another.

Note that we avoid incrementing the cancelling counter for the target
timer (the one being cancelled) if bpf_timer_cancel is not invoked from
a callback, to avoid spurious errors. The whole point of detecting
cur-&gt;cancelling and returning -EDEADLK is to not enter a busy wait loop
(which may or may not lead to a lockup). This does not apply in case the
caller is in a non-callback context, the other side can continue to
cancel as it sees fit without running into errors.

Background on prior attempts:

Earlier versions of this patch used a bool 'cancelling' bit and used the
following pattern under timer-&gt;lock to publish cancellation status.

lock(t-&gt;lock);
t-&gt;cancelling = true;
mb();
if (cur-&gt;cancelling)
	return -EDEADLK;
unlock(t-&gt;lock);
hrtimer_cancel(t-&gt;timer);
t-&gt;cancelling = false;

The store outside the critical section could overwrite a parallel
requests t-&gt;cancelling assignment to true, to ensure the parallely
executing callback observes its cancellation status.

It would be necessary to clear this cancelling bit once hrtimer_cancel
is done, but lack of serialization introduced races. Another option was
explored where bpf_timer_start would clear the bit when (re)starting the
timer under timer-&gt;lock. This would ensure serialized access to the
cancelling bit, but may allow it to be cleared before in-flight
hrtimer_cancel has finished executing, such that lockups can occur
again.

Thus, we choose an atomic counter to keep track of all outstanding
cancellation requests and use it to prevent lockups in case callbacks
attempt to cancel each other while executing in parallel.

[ Upstream commit be2749beff62e0d63cf97fe63cabc79a68443139 ]

To be able to add workqueues and reuse most of the timer code, we need
to make bpf_hrtimer more generic.

There is no code change except that the new struct gets a new u64 flags
attribute. We are still below 2 cache lines, so this shouldn't impact
the current running codes.

The ordering is also changed. Everything related to async callback
is now on top of bpf_hrtimer.

and placed under CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP, where it is more appropriate.
And since CONFIG_KEXEC &amp; !CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP build option is supported
with that, it led to the below warning:

  "WARN: resolve_btfids: unresolved symbol crash_kexec"

Fix it by using the appropriate #ifdef.

<title>bpf: Fix racing between bpf_timer_cancel_and_free and bpf_timer_cancel</title>

<content type='text'>
The following race is possible between bpf_timer_cancel_and_free
and bpf_timer_cancel. It will lead a UAF on the timer-&gt;timer.

bpf_timer_cancel();
	spin_lock();
	t = timer-&gt;time;
	spin_unlock();

					bpf_timer_cancel_and_free();
						spin_lock();
						t = timer-&gt;timer;
						timer-&gt;timer = NULL;
						spin_unlock();
						hrtimer_cancel(&amp;t-&gt;timer);
						kfree(t);

	/* UAF on t */
	hrtimer_cancel(&amp;t-&gt;timer);

In bpf_timer_cancel_and_free, this patch frees the timer-&gt;timer
after a rcu grace period. This requires a rcu_head addition
to the "struct bpf_hrtimer". Another kfree(t) happens in bpf_timer_init,
this does not need a kfree_rcu because it is still under the
spin_lock and timer-&gt;timer has not been visible by others yet.

In bpf_timer_cancel, rcu_read_lock() is added because this helper
can be used in a non rcu critical section context (e.g. from
a sleepable bpf prog). Other timer-&gt;timer usages in helpers.c
have been audited, bpf_timer_cancel() is the only place where
timer-&gt;timer is used outside of the spin_lock.

Another solution considered is to mark a t-&gt;flag in bpf_timer_cancel
and clear it after hrtimer_cancel() is done.  In bpf_timer_cancel_and_free,
it busy waits for the flag to be cleared before kfree(t). This patch
goes with a straight forward solution and frees timer-&gt;timer after
a rcu grace period.

<title>bpf: Mark bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}() helpers with notrace correctly</title>

Currently tracing is supposed not to allow for bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}()
helper calls. This is to prevent deadlock for the following cases:
  - there is a prog (prog-A) calling bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}().
  - there is a tracing program (prog-B), e.g., fentry, attached
    to bpf_spin_lock() and/or bpf_spin_unlock().
  - prog-B calls bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}().
For such a case, when prog-A calls bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}(),
a deadlock will happen.

The related source codes are below in kernel/bpf/helpers.c:
  notrace BPF_CALL_1(bpf_spin_lock, struct bpf_spin_lock *, lock)
  notrace BPF_CALL_1(bpf_spin_unlock, struct bpf_spin_lock *, lock)
notrace is supposed to prevent fentry prog from attaching to
bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}().

But actually this is not the case and fentry prog can successfully
attached to bpf_spin_lock(). Siddharth Chintamaneni reported
the issue in [1]. The following is the macro definition for
above BPF_CALL_1:
  #define BPF_CALL_x(x, name, ...)                                               \
        static __always_inline                                                 \
        u64 ____##name(__BPF_MAP(x, __BPF_DECL_ARGS, __BPF_V, __VA_ARGS__));   \
        typedef u64 (*btf_##name)(__BPF_MAP(x, __BPF_DECL_ARGS, __BPF_V, __VA_ARGS__)); \
        u64 name(__BPF_REG(x, __BPF_DECL_REGS, __BPF_N, __VA_ARGS__));         \
        u64 name(__BPF_REG(x, __BPF_DECL_REGS, __BPF_N, __VA_ARGS__))          \
        {                                                                      \
                return ((btf_##name)____##name)(__BPF_MAP(x,__BPF_CAST,__BPF_N,__VA_ARGS__));\
        }                                                                      \
        static __always_inline                                                 \
        u64 ____##name(__BPF_MAP(x, __BPF_DECL_ARGS, __BPF_V, __VA_ARGS__))

  #define BPF_CALL_1(name, ...)   BPF_CALL_x(1, name, __VA_ARGS__)

The notrace attribute is actually applied to the static always_inline function
____bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}(). The actual callback function
bpf_spin_{lock,unlock}() is not marked with notrace, hence
allowing fentry prog to attach to two helpers, and this
may cause the above mentioned deadlock. Siddharth Chintamaneni
actually has a reproducer in [2].

To fix the issue, a new macro NOTRACE_BPF_CALL_1 is introduced which
will add notrace attribute to the original function instead of
the hidden always_inline function and this fixed the problem.

<title>bpf: Have bpf_rdonly_cast() take a const pointer</title>

<content type='text'>
Since 20d59ee55172 ("libbpf: add bpf_core_cast() macro"), libbpf is now
exporting a const arg version of bpf_rdonly_cast(). This causes the
following conflicting type error when generating kfunc prototypes from
BTF:

In file included from skeleton/pid_iter.bpf.c:5:
/home/dxu/dev/linux/tools/bpf/bpftool/bootstrap/libbpf/include/bpf/bpf_core_read.h:297:14: error: conflicting types for 'bpf_rdonly_cast'
extern void *bpf_rdonly_cast(const void *obj__ign, __u32 btf_id__k) __ksym __weak;

./vmlinux.h:135625:14: note: previous declaration is here
extern void *bpf_rdonly_cast(void *obj__ign, u32 btf_id__k) __weak __ksym;

This is b/c the kernel defines bpf_rdonly_cast() with non-const arg.
Since const arg is more permissive and thus backwards compatible, we
change the kernel definition as well to avoid conflicting type errors.
