In this scenario path lookup under RCU is racing with the final
unlink in case of symlinks. As Linus puts it in his analysis:

  [...] We actually RCU-delay the inode freeing itself, but
  when we do the final iput(), the "evict()" function is called
  synchronously. Now, the simple fix would seem to just RCU-delay
  the kfree() of the symlink data in bpf_evict_inode(). Maybe
  that's the right thing to do. [...]

Al suggested to piggy-back on the -&gt;destroy_inode() callback in
order to implement RCU deferral there which can then kfree() the
inode-&gt;i_link eventually right before putting inode back into
inode cache. By reusing free_inode_nonrcu() from there we can
avoid the need for our own inode cache and just reuse generic
one as we currently do.

And in-fact on top of all this we should just get rid of the
bpf_evict_inode() entirely. This means truncate_inode_pages_final()
and clear_inode() will then simply be called by the fs core via
evict(). Dropping the reference should really only be done when
inode is unhashed and nothing reachable anymore, so it's better
also moved into the final -&gt;destroy_inode() callback.

<title>netfilter: xt_bpf: Fix XT_BPF_MODE_FD_PINNED mode of 'xt_bpf_info_v1'</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 2c16d6033264 ("netfilter: xt_bpf: support ebpf") introduced
support for attaching an eBPF object by an fd, with the
'bpf_mt_check_v1' ABI expecting the '.fd' to be specified upon each
IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE call.

However this breaks subsequent iptables calls:

 # iptables -A INPUT -m bpf --object-pinned /sys/fs/bpf/xxx -j ACCEPT
 # iptables -A INPUT -s 5.6.7.8 -j ACCEPT
 iptables: Invalid argument. Run `dmesg' for more information.

That's because iptables works by loading existing rules using
IPT_SO_GET_ENTRIES to userspace, then issuing IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE with
the replacement set.

However, the loaded 'xt_bpf_info_v1' has an arbitrary '.fd' number
(from the initial "iptables -m bpf" invocation) - so when 2nd invocation
occurs, userspace passes a bogus fd number, which leads to
'bpf_mt_check_v1' to fail.

One suggested solution [1] was to hack iptables userspace, to perform a
"entries fixup" immediatley after IPT_SO_GET_ENTRIES, by opening a new,
process-local fd per every 'xt_bpf_info_v1' entry seen.

However, in [2] both Pablo Neira Ayuso and Willem de Bruijn suggested to
depricate the xt_bpf_info_v1 ABI dealing with pinned ebpf objects.

This fix changes the XT_BPF_MODE_FD_PINNED behavior to ignore the given
'.fd' and instead perform an in-kernel lookup for the bpf object given
the provided '.path'.

It also defines an alias for the XT_BPF_MODE_FD_PINNED mode, named
XT_BPF_MODE_PATH_PINNED, to better reflect the fact that the user is
expected to provide the path of the pinned object.

Existing XT_BPF_MODE_FD_ELF behavior (non-pinned fd mode) is preserved.

Implement the show_options superblock op for bpf as part of a bid to get
rid of s_options and generic_show_options() to make it easier to implement
a context-based mount where the mount options can be passed individually
over a file descriptor.

<title>fs: constify tree_descr arrays passed to simple_fill_super()</title>

simple_fill_super() is passed an array of tree_descr structures which
describe the files to create in the filesystem's root directory.  Since
these arrays are never modified intentionally, they should be 'const' so
that they are placed in .rodata and benefit from memory protection.
This patch updates the function signature and all users, and also
constifies tree_descr.name.

<title>bpf: add initial bpf tracepoints</title>

<content type='text'>
This work adds a number of tracepoints to paths that are either
considered slow-path or exception-like states, where monitoring or
inspecting them would be desirable.

For bpf(2) syscall, tracepoints have been placed for main commands
when they succeed. In XDP case, tracepoint is for exceptions, that
is, f.e. on abnormal BPF program exit such as unknown or XDP_ABORTED
return code, or when error occurs during XDP_TX action and the packet
could not be forwarded.

Both have been split into separate event headers, and can be further
extended. Worst case, if they unexpectedly should get into our way in
future, they can also removed [1]. Of course, these tracepoints (like
any other) can be analyzed by eBPF itself, etc. Example output:

  # ./perf record -a -e bpf:* sleep 10
  # ./perf script
  sock_example  6197 [005]   283.980322:      bpf:bpf_map_create: map type=ARRAY ufd=4 key=4 val=8 max=256 flags=0

Since we recently converted the BPF filesystem over to use mount_nodev(),
we now have the possibility to also hold mount options in sb's s_fs_info.
This work implements mount options support for specifying permissions on
the sb's inode, which will be used by tc when it manually needs to mount
the fs.

<title>bpf, inode: add support for symlinks and fix mtime/ctime</title>

While commit bb35a6ef7da4 ("bpf, inode: allow for rename and link ops")
added support for hard links that can be used for prog and map nodes,
this work adds simple symlink support, which can be used f.e. for
directories also when unpriviledged and works with cmdline tooling that
understands S_IFLNK anyway. Since the switch in e27f4a942a0e ("bpf: Use
mount_nodev not mount_ns to mount the bpf filesystem"), there can be
various mount instances with mount_nodev() and thus hierarchy can be
flattened to facilitate object sharing. Thus, we can keep bpf tooling
also working by repointing paths.

Most of the functionality can be used from vfs library operations. The
symlink is stored in the inode itself, that is in i_link, which is
sufficient in our case as opposed to storing it in the page cache.
While at it, I noticed that bpf_mkdir() and bpf_mkobj() don't update
the directories mtime and ctime, so add a common helper for it called
bpf_dentry_finalize() that takes care of it for all cases now.

<title>fs: Replace CURRENT_TIME with current_time() for inode timestamps</title>

<content type='text'>
CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it
doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps.
Use current_time() instead.

CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe.

This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions
vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them
y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be
extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all
file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also,
current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be
y2038 safe.

Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used
to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they
share the same time granularity.

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

init/Kconfig:config BPF_SYSCALL
init/Kconfig:   bool "Enable bpf() system call"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the couple traces of modular infrastructure use, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Note that MODULE_ALIAS is a no-op for non-modular code.

We replace module.h with init.h since the file does use __init.

Follow-up to commit e27f4a942a0e ("bpf: Use mount_nodev not mount_ns
to mount the bpf filesystem"), which removes the FS_USERNS_MOUNT flag.

The original idea was to have a per mountns instance instead of a
single global fs instance, but that didn't work out and we had to
switch to mount_nodev() model. The intent of that middle ground was
that we avoid users who don't play nice to create endless instances
of bpf fs which are difficult to control and discover from an admin
point of view, but at the same time it would have allowed us to be
more flexible with regard to namespaces.

Therefore, since we now did the switch to mount_nodev() as a fix
where individual instances are created, we also need to remove userns
mount flag along with it to avoid running into mentioned situation.
I don't expect any breakage at this early point in time with removing
the flag and we can revisit this later should the requirement for
this come up with future users. This and commit e27f4a942a0e have
been split to facilitate tracking should any of them run into the
unlikely case of causing a regression.
