<title>bpf: Emit bpf_timer in vmlinux BTF</title>

Currently the following code in check_and_init_map_value()
  *(struct bpf_timer *)(dst + map-&gt;timer_off) =
      (struct bpf_timer){};
can help generate bpf_timer definition in vmlinuxBTF.
But the code above may not zero the whole structure
due to anonymour members and that code will be replaced
by memset in the subsequent patch and
bpf_timer definition will disappear from vmlinuxBTF.
Let us emit the type explicitly so bpf program can continue
to use it from vmlinux.h.

<title>bpf: Add MEM_RDONLY for helper args that are pointers to rdonly mem.</title>

Some helper functions may modify its arguments, for example,
bpf_d_path, bpf_get_stack etc. Previously, their argument types
were marked as ARG_PTR_TO_MEM, which is compatible with read-only
mem types, such as PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF. Therefore it's legitimate,
but technically incorrect, to modify a read-only memory by passing
it into one of such helper functions.

This patch tags the bpf_args compatible with immutable memory with
MEM_RDONLY flag. The arguments that don't have this flag will be
only compatible with mutable memory types, preventing the helper
from modifying a read-only memory. The bpf_args that have
MEM_RDONLY are compatible with both mutable memory and immutable
memory.

Tag the return type of {per, this}_cpu_ptr with RDONLY_MEM. The
returned value of this pair of helpers is kernel object, which
can not be updated by bpf programs. Previously these two helpers
return PTR_OT_MEM for kernel objects of scalar type, which allows
one to directly modify the memory. Now with RDONLY_MEM tagging,
the verifier will reject programs that write into RDONLY_MEM.

<title>bpf: Replace RET_XXX_OR_NULL with RET_XXX | PTR_MAYBE_NULL</title>

<id>3c4807322660d4290ac9062c034aed6b87243861</id>
<content type='text'>
We have introduced a new type to make bpf_ret composable, by
reserving high bits to represent flags.

One of the flag is PTR_MAYBE_NULL, which indicates a pointer
may be NULL. When applying this flag to ret_types, it means
the returned value could be a NULL pointer. This patch
switches the qualified arg_types to use this flag.
The ret_types changed in this patch include:

1. RET_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL
2. RET_PTR_TO_SOCKET_OR_NULL
3. RET_PTR_TO_TCP_SOCK_OR_NULL
4. RET_PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON_OR_NULL
5. RET_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM_OR_NULL
6. RET_PTR_TO_MEM_OR_BTF_ID_OR_NULL
7. RET_PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL

This patch doesn't eliminate the use of these names, instead
it makes them aliases to 'RET_PTR_TO_XXX | PTR_MAYBE_NULL'.

The helper compares two strings: one string is a null-terminated
read-only string, and another string has const max storage size
but doesn't need to be null-terminated. It can be used to compare
file name in tracing or LSM program.

This patch adds the kernel-side and API changes for a new helper
function, bpf_loop:

long bpf_loop(u32 nr_loops, void *callback_fn, void *callback_ctx,
u64 flags);

where long (*callback_fn)(u32 index, void *ctx);

bpf_loop invokes the "callback_fn" **nr_loops** times or until the
callback_fn returns 1. The callback_fn can only return 0 or 1, and
this is enforced by the verifier. The callback_fn index is zero-indexed.

A few things to please note:
~ The "u64 flags" parameter is currently unused but is included in
case a future use case for it arises.
~ In the kernel-side implementation of bpf_loop (kernel/bpf/bpf_iter.c),
bpf_callback_t is used as the callback function cast.
~ A program can have nested bpf_loop calls but the program must
still adhere to the verifier constraint of its stack depth (the stack depth
cannot exceed MAX_BPF_STACK))
~ Recursive callback_fns do not pass the verifier, due to the call stack
for these being too deep.
~ The next patch will include the tests and benchmark

this is enforced by the verifier. The callback_fn index is zero-indexed.

A few things to please note:
~ The "u64 flags" parameter is currently unused but is included in
case a future use case for it arises.
~ In the kernel-side implementation of bpf_loop (kernel/bpf/bpf_iter.c),
bpf_callback_t is used as the callback function cast.
~ A program can have nested bpf_loop calls but the program must
still adhere to the verifier constraint of its stack depth (the stack depth
cannot exceed MAX_BPF_STACK))
~ Recursive callback_fns do not pass the verifier, due to the call stack
for these being too deep.
~ The next patch will include the tests and benchmark

Use of bpf_ktime_get_coarse_ns() and bpf_timer_* helpers in tracing
progs may result in locking issues.

bpf_ktime_get_coarse_ns() uses ktime_get_coarse_ns() time accessor that
isn't safe for any context:

<title>bpf: Replace callers of BPF_CAST_CALL with proper function typedef</title>

In order to keep ahead of cases in the kernel where Control Flow
Integrity (CFI) may trip over function call casts, enabling
-Wcast-function-type is helpful. To that end, BPF_CAST_CALL causes
various warnings and is one of the last places in the kernel
triggering this warning.

For actual function calls, replace BPF_CAST_CALL() with a typedef, which
captures the same details about the given function pointers.

This change results in no object code difference.
