[ Upstream commit fd381ce60a2d79cc967506208085336d3d268ae0 ]

When there are concurrent uref release and bpf timer init operations,
the following sequence diagram is possible. It will break the guarantee
provided by bpf_timer: bpf_timer will still be alive after userspace
application releases or unpins the map. It also will lead to kmemleak
for old kernel version which doesn't release bpf_timer when map is
released.

bpf program X:

bpf_timer_init()
  lock timer-&gt;lock
    read timer-&gt;timer as NULL
    read map-&gt;usercnt != 0

                process Y:

                close(map_fd)
                  // put last uref
                  bpf_map_put_uref()
                    atomic_dec_and_test(map-&gt;usercnt)
                      array_map_free_timers()
                        bpf_timer_cancel_and_free()
                          // just return
                          read timer-&gt;timer is NULL

    t = bpf_map_kmalloc_node()
    timer-&gt;timer = t
  unlock timer-&gt;lock

Fix the problem by checking map-&gt;usercnt after timer-&gt;timer is assigned,
so when there are concurrent uref release and bpf timer init, either
bpf_timer_cancel_and_free() from uref release reads a no-NULL timer
or the newly-added atomic64_read() returns a zero usercnt.

Because atomic_dec_and_test(map-&gt;usercnt) and READ_ONCE(timer-&gt;timer)
in bpf_timer_cancel_and_free() are not protected by a lock, so add
a memory barrier to guarantee the order between map-&gt;usercnt and
timer-&gt;timer. Also use WRITE_ONCE(timer-&gt;timer, x) to match the lockless
read of timer-&gt;timer in bpf_timer_cancel_and_free().

eBPF dynamic pointers is a new feature recently added to upstream. It binds
together a pointer to a memory area and its size. The internal kernel
structure bpf_dynptr_kern is not accessible by eBPF programs in user space.
They instead see bpf_dynptr, which is then translated to the internal
kernel structure by the eBPF verifier.

The problem is that it is not possible to include at the same time the uapi
include linux/bpf.h and the vmlinux BTF vmlinux.h, as they both contain the
definition of some structures/enums. The compiler complains saying that the
structures/enums are redefined.

As bpf_dynptr is defined in the uapi include linux/bpf.h, this makes it
impossible to include vmlinux.h. However, in some cases, e.g. when using
kfuncs, vmlinux.h has to be included. The only option until now was to
include vmlinux.h and add the definition of bpf_dynptr directly in the eBPF
program source code from linux/bpf.h.

Solve the problem by using the same approach as for bpf_timer (which also
follows the same scheme with the _kern suffix for the internal kernel
structure).

Add the following line in one of the dynamic pointer helpers,
bpf_dynptr_from_mem():

BTF_TYPE_EMIT(struct bpf_dynptr);

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

<id>20571567384428dfc9fe5cf9f2e942e1df13c2dd</id>
<content type='text'>
In a prior change, we added a new BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF map type which
will allow user-space applications to publish messages to a ring buffer
that is consumed by a BPF program in kernel-space. In order for this
map-type to be useful, it will require a BPF helper function that BPF
programs can invoke to drain samples from the ring buffer, and invoke
callbacks on those samples. This change adds that capability via a new BPF
helper function:

bpf_user_ringbuf_drain(struct bpf_map *map, void *callback_fn, void *ctx,
                       u64 flags)

BPF programs may invoke this function to run callback_fn() on a series of
samples in the ring buffer. callback_fn() has the following signature:

long callback_fn(struct bpf_dynptr *dynptr, void *context);

Samples are provided to the callback in the form of struct bpf_dynptr *'s,
which the program can read using BPF helper functions for querying
struct bpf_dynptr's.

In order to support bpf_ringbuf_drain(), a new PTR_TO_DYNPTR register
type is added to the verifier to reflect a dynptr that was allocated by
a helper function and passed to a BPF program. Unlike PTR_TO_STACK
dynptrs which are allocated on the stack by a BPF program, PTR_TO_DYNPTR
dynptrs need not use reference tracking, as the BPF helper is trusted to
properly free the dynptr before returning. The verifier currently only
supports PTR_TO_DYNPTR registers that are also DYNPTR_TYPE_LOCAL.

Note that while the corresponding user-space libbpf logic will be added
in a subsequent patch, this patch does contain an implementation of the
.map_poll() callback for BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF maps. This
.map_poll() callback guarantees that an epoll-waiting user-space
producer will receive at least one event notification whenever at least
one sample is drained in an invocation of bpf_user_ringbuf_drain(),
provided that the function is not invoked with the BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP
flag. If the BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP flag is provided, a wakeup
notification is sent even if no sample was drained.

In a prior change, we added a new BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF map type which
will allow user-space applications to publish messages to a ring buffer
that is consumed by a BPF program in kernel-space. In order for this
map-type to be useful, it will require a BPF helper function that BPF
programs can invoke to drain samples from the ring buffer, and invoke
callbacks on those samples. This change adds that capability via a new BPF
helper function:

bpf_user_ringbuf_drain(struct bpf_map *map, void *callback_fn, void *ctx,
                       u64 flags)

BPF programs may invoke this function to run callback_fn() on a series of
samples in the ring buffer. callback_fn() has the following signature:

long callback_fn(struct bpf_dynptr *dynptr, void *context);

Samples are provided to the callback in the form of struct bpf_dynptr *'s,
which the program can read using BPF helper functions for querying
struct bpf_dynptr's.

In order to support bpf_ringbuf_drain(), a new PTR_TO_DYNPTR register
type is added to the verifier to reflect a dynptr that was allocated by
a helper function and passed to a BPF program. Unlike PTR_TO_STACK
dynptrs which are allocated on the stack by a BPF program, PTR_TO_DYNPTR
dynptrs need not use reference tracking, as the BPF helper is trusted to
properly free the dynptr before returning. The verifier currently only
supports PTR_TO_DYNPTR registers that are also DYNPTR_TYPE_LOCAL.

Note that while the corresponding user-space libbpf logic will be added
in a subsequent patch, this patch does contain an implementation of the
.map_poll() callback for BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF maps. This
.map_poll() callback guarantees that an epoll-waiting user-space
producer will receive at least one event notification whenever at least
one sample is drained in an invocation of bpf_user_ringbuf_drain(),
provided that the function is not invoked with the BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP
flag. If the BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP flag is provided, a wakeup
notification is sent even if no sample was drained.

<title>bpf: Gate dynptr API behind CAP_BPF</title>

This has been enabled for unprivileged programs for only one kernel
release, hence the expected annoyances due to this move are low. Users
using ringbuf can stick to non-dynptr APIs. The actual use cases dynptr
is meant to serve may not make sense in unprivileged BPF programs.

Hence, gate these helpers behind CAP_BPF and limit use to privileged
BPF programs.

<title>bpf: Add verifier check for BPF_PTR_POISON retval and arg</title>

BPF_PTR_POISON was added in commit c0a5a21c25f37 ("bpf: Allow storing
referenced kptr in map") to denote a bpf_func_proto btf_id which the
verifier will replace with a dynamically-determined btf_id at verification
time.

This patch adds verifier 'poison' functionality to BPF_PTR_POISON in
order to prepare for expanded use of the value to poison ret- and
arg-btf_id in ongoing work, namely rbtree and linked list patchsets
[0, 1]. Specifically, when the verifier checks helper calls, it assumes
that BPF_PTR_POISON'ed ret type will be replaced with a valid type before
- or in lieu of - the default ret_btf_id logic. Similarly for arg btf_id.

If poisoned btf_id reaches default handling block for either, consider
this a verifier internal error and fail verification. Otherwise a helper
w/ poisoned btf_id but no verifier logic replacing the type will cause a
crash as the invalid pointer is dereferenced.

Also move BPF_PTR_POISON to existing include/linux/posion.h header and
remove unnecessary shift.

They would require func_info which needs prog BTF anyway. Loading BTF
and setting the prog btf_fd while loading the prog indirectly requires
CAP_BPF, so just to reduce confusion, move both these helpers taking
callback under bpf_capable() protection as well, since they cannot be
used without CAP_BPF.

bpf_strncmp is already exposed everywhere. The motivation is to keep
those helpers in kernel/bpf/helpers.c. Otherwise it's tempting to move
them under kernel/bpf/cgroup.c because they are currently only used
by sysctl prog types.
