<title>bpf: Add bpf_task_pt_regs() helper</title>

The motivation behind this helper is to access userspace pt_regs in a
kprobe handler.

uprobe's ctx is the userspace pt_regs. kprobe's ctx is the kernelspace
pt_regs. bpf_task_pt_regs() allows accessing userspace pt_regs in a
kprobe handler. The final case (kernelspace pt_regs in uprobe) is
pretty rare (usermode helper) so I think that can be solved later if
necessary.

More concretely, this helper is useful in doing BPF-based DWARF stack
unwinding. Currently the kernel can only do framepointer based stack
unwinds for userspace code. This is because the DWARF state machines are
too fragile to be computed in kernelspace [0]. The idea behind
DWARF-based stack unwinds w/ BPF is to copy a chunk of the userspace
stack (while in prog context) and send it up to userspace for unwinding
(probably with libunwind) [1]. This would effectively enable profiling
applications with -fomit-frame-pointer using kprobes and uprobes.

bpf_get_current_task() is already supported so it's natural to also
include the _btf() variant for btf-powered helpers.

This is required for non-tracing progs to use bpf_task_pt_regs() in the
next commit.

/proc/net/unix uses "%c" to print a single-byte character to escape '\0' in
the name of the abstract UNIX domain socket.  The following selftest uses
it, so this patch adds support for "%c".  Note that it does not support
wide character ("%lc" and "%llc") for simplicity.

<title>bpf: Add rcu_read_lock in bpf_get_current_[ancestor_]cgroup_id() helpers</title>

<id>2d3a1e3615c5449a4583010f41a6f824a4ffa03e</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, if bpf_get_current_cgroup_id() or
bpf_get_current_ancestor_cgroup_id() helper is
called with sleepable programs e.g., sleepable
fentry/fmod_ret/fexit/lsm programs, a rcu warning
may appear. For example, if I added the following
hack to test_progs/test_lsm sleepable fentry program
test_sys_setdomainname:

  --- a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/lsm.c
  +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/lsm.c
  @@ -168,6 +168,10 @@ int BPF_PROG(test_sys_setdomainname, struct pt_regs *regs)
          int buf = 0;
          long ret;

  +       __u64 cg_id = bpf_get_current_cgroup_id();
  +       if (cg_id == 1000)
  +               copy_test++;
  +
          ret = bpf_copy_from_user(&amp;buf, sizeof(buf), ptr);
          if (len == -2 &amp;&amp; ret == 0 &amp;&amp; buf == 1234)
                  copy_test++;

I will hit the following rcu warning:

  include/linux/cgroup.h:481 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
  other info that might help us debug this:
    rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
    1 lock held by test_progs/260:

      entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae

I can get similar warning using bpf_get_current_ancestor_cgroup_id() helper.
syzbot reported a similar issue in [1] for syscall program. Helper
bpf_get_current_cgroup_id() or bpf_get_current_ancestor_cgroup_id()
has the following callchain:
   task_dfl_cgroup
     task_css_set
       task_css_set_check
and we have
   #define task_css_set_check(task, __c)                                   \
           rcu_dereference_check((task)-&gt;cgroups,                          \
                   lockdep_is_held(&amp;cgroup_mutex) ||                       \
                   lockdep_is_held(&amp;css_set_lock) ||                       \
                   ((task)-&gt;flags &amp; PF_EXITING) || (__c))
Since cgroup_mutex/css_set_lock is not held and the task
is not existing and rcu read_lock is not held, a warning
will be issued. Note that bpf sleepable program is protected by
rcu_read_lock_trace().

The above sleepable bpf programs are already protected
by migrate_disable(). Adding rcu_read_lock() in these
two helpers will silence the above warning.
I marked the patch fixing 95b861a7935b
("bpf: Allow bpf_get_current_ancestor_cgroup_id for tracing")
which added bpf_get_current_ancestor_cgroup_id() to tracing programs
in 5.14. I think backporting 5.14 is probably good enough as sleepable
progrems are not widely used.

This patch should fix [1] as well since syscall program is a sleepable
program protected with migrate_disable().

Currently, if bpf_get_current_cgroup_id() or
bpf_get_current_ancestor_cgroup_id() helper is
called with sleepable programs e.g., sleepable
fentry/fmod_ret/fexit/lsm programs, a rcu warning
may appear. For example, if I added the following
hack to test_progs/test_lsm sleepable fentry program
test_sys_setdomainname:

  --- a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/lsm.c
  +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/lsm.c

  +       __u64 cg_id = bpf_get_current_cgroup_id();
  +       if (cg_id == 1000)
  +               copy_test++;

          ret = bpf_copy_from_user(&amp;buf, sizeof(buf), ptr);
          if (len == -2 &amp;&amp; ret == 0 &amp;&amp; buf == 1234)
                  copy_test++;

I will hit the following rcu warning:

I can get similar warning using bpf_get_current_ancestor_cgroup_id() helper.
syzbot reported a similar issue in [1] for syscall program. Helper
bpf_get_current_cgroup_id() or bpf_get_current_ancestor_cgroup_id()
has the following callchain:
   task_dfl_cgroup
     task_css_set
       task_css_set_check
and we have
   #define task_css_set_check(task, __c)                                   \
           rcu_dereference_check((task)-&gt;cgroups,                          \
                   lockdep_is_held(&amp;cgroup_mutex) ||                       \
                   lockdep_is_held(&amp;css_set_lock) ||                       \
                   ((task)-&gt;flags &amp; PF_EXITING) || (__c))
Since cgroup_mutex/css_set_lock is not held and the task
is not existing and rcu read_lock is not held, a warning
will be issued. Note that bpf sleepable program is protected by
rcu_read_lock_trace().

The above sleepable bpf programs are already protected
by migrate_disable(). Adding rcu_read_lock() in these
two helpers will silence the above warning.
I marked the patch fixing 95b861a7935b
("bpf: Allow bpf_get_current_ancestor_cgroup_id for tracing")
which added bpf_get_current_ancestor_cgroup_id() to tracing programs
in 5.14. I think backporting 5.14 is probably good enough as sleepable

Commit b910eaaaa4b8 ("bpf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bpf_get_local_storage()
helper") fixed a bug for bpf_get_local_storage() helper so different tasks
won't mess up with each other's percpu local storage.

The percpu data contains 8 slots so it can hold up to 8 contexts (same or
different tasks), for 8 different program runs, at the same time. This in
general is sufficient. But our internal testing showed the following warning
multiple times:

  [...]

Using drgn [0] to dump the percpu buffer contents showed that on this CPU
slot 0 is still available, but slots 1-7 are occupied and those tasks in
slots 1-7 mostly don't exist any more. So we might have issues in
bpf_cgroup_storage_unset().

Further debugging confirmed that there is a bug in bpf_cgroup_storage_unset().
Currently, it tries to unset "current" slot with searching from the start.
So the following sequence is possible:

  1. A task is running and claims slot 0
  2. Running BPF program is done, and it checked slot 0 has the "task"
     and ready to reset it to NULL (not yet).
  3. An interrupt happens, another BPF program runs and it claims slot 1
     with the *same* task.
  4. The unset() in interrupt context releases slot 0 since it matches "task".
  5. Interrupt is done, the task in process context reset slot 0.

At the end, slot 1 is not reset and the same process can continue to occupy
slots 2-7 and finally, when the above step 1-5 is repeated again, step 3 BPF
program won't be able to claim an empty slot and a warning will be issued.

To fix the issue, for unset() function, we should traverse from the last slot
to the first. This way, the above issue can be avoided.

The same reverse traversal should also be done in bpf_get_local_storage() helper
itself. Otherwise, incorrect local storage may be returned to BPF program.

b910eaaaa4b8 ("bpf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bpf_get_local_storage()
helper") fixed the problem with cgroup-local storage use in BPF by
pre-allocating per-CPU array of 8 cgroup storage pointers to accommodate
possible BPF program preemptions and nested executions.

While this seems to work good in practice, it introduces new and unnecessary
failure mode in which not all BPF programs might be executed if we fail to
find an unused slot for cgroup storage, however unlikely it is. It might also
not be so unlikely when/if we allow sleepable cgroup BPF programs in the
future.

Further, the way that cgroup storage is implemented as ambiently-available
property during entire BPF program execution is a convenient way to pass extra
information to BPF program and helpers without requiring user code to pass
around extra arguments explicitly. So it would be good to have a generic
solution that can allow implementing this without arbitrary restrictions.
Ideally, such solution would work for both preemptable and sleepable BPF
programs in exactly the same way.

This patch introduces such solution, bpf_run_ctx. It adds one pointer field
(bpf_ctx) to task_struct. This field is maintained by BPF_PROG_RUN family of
macros in such a way that it always stays valid throughout BPF program
execution. BPF program preemption is handled by remembering previous
current-&gt;bpf_ctx value locally while executing nested BPF program and
restoring old value after nested BPF program finishes. This is handled by two
helper functions, bpf_set_run_ctx() and bpf_reset_run_ctx(), which are
supposed to be used before and after BPF program runs, respectively.

Restoring old value of the pointer handles preemption, while bpf_run_ctx
pointer being a property of current task_struct naturally solves this problem
for sleepable BPF programs by "following" BPF program execution as it is
scheduled in and out of CPU. It would even allow CPU migration of BPF
programs, even though it's not currently allowed by BPF infra.

This patch cleans up cgroup local storage handling as a first application. The
design itself is generic, though, with bpf_run_ctx being an empty struct that
is supposed to be embedded into a specific struct for a given BPF program type
(bpf_cg_run_ctx in this case). Follow up patches are planned that will expand
this mechanism for other uses within tracing BPF programs.

To verify that this change doesn't revert the fix to the original cgroup
storage issue, I ran the same repro as in the original report ([0]) and didn't
get any problems. Replacing bpf_reset_run_ctx(old_run_ctx) with
bpf_reset_run_ctx(NULL) triggers the issue pretty quickly (so repro does work).
