commit 5c6f25887963f15492b604dd25cb149c501bbabf upstream.

Trying to initialize a structure with "= {};" will not always clean out
all padding locations in a structure. So be explicit and call memset to
initialize everything for a number of bpf information structures that
are then copied from userspace, sometimes from smaller memory locations
than the size of the structure.

commit 8096f229421f7b22433775e928d506f0342e5907 upstream.

For the bpf syscall, we are relying on the compiler to properly zero out
the bpf_attr union that we copy userspace data into. Unfortunately that
doesn't always work properly, padding and other oddities might not be
correctly zeroed, and in some tests odd things have been found when the
stack is pre-initialized to other values.

Fix this by explicitly memsetting the structure to 0 before using it.

<title>bpf: Add poke dependency tracking for prog array maps</title>

<id>da765a2f599304a81a25e77908d1790414ecdbb6</id>
<content type='text'>
This work adds program tracking to prog array maps. This is needed such
that upon prog array updates/deletions we can fix up all programs which
make use of this tail call map. We add ops-&gt;map_poke_{un,}track()
helpers to maps to maintain the list of programs and ops-&gt;map_poke_run()
for triggering the actual update.

bpf_array_aux is extended to contain the list head and poke_mutex in
order to serialize program patching during updates/deletions.
bpf_free_used_maps() will untrack the program shortly before dropping
the reference to the map. For clearing out the prog array once all urefs
are dropped we need to use schedule_work() to have a sleepable context.

The prog_array_map_poke_run() is triggered during updates/deletions and
walks the maintained prog list. It checks in their poke_tabs whether the
map and key is matching and runs the actual bpf_arch_text_poke() for
patching in the nop or new jmp location. Depending on the type of update,
we use one of BPF_MOD_{NOP_TO_JUMP,JUMP_TO_NOP,JUMP_TO_JUMP}.

Given we recently extended the original bpf_map_area_alloc() helper in
commit fc9702273e2e ("bpf: Add mmap() support for BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY"),
we need to apply the same logic as in ff1c08e1f74b ("bpf: Change size

extend it for bpf-next.

Allow for audit messages to be emitted upon BPF program load and
unload for having a timeline of events. The load itself is in
syscall context, so additional info about the process initiating
the BPF prog creation can be logged and later directly correlated
to the unload event.

The only info really needed from BPF side is the globally unique
prog ID where then audit user space tooling can query / dump all
info needed about the specific BPF program right upon load event
and enrich the record, thus these changes needed here can be kept
small and non-intrusive to the core.

Raw example output:

  # auditctl -D
  # auditctl -a always,exit -F arch=x86_64 -S bpf
  # ausearch --start recent -m 1334

<id>fc9702273e2edb90400a34b3be76f7b08fa3344b</id>
<content type='text'>
Add ability to memory-map contents of BPF array map. This is extremely useful
for working with BPF global data from userspace programs. It allows to avoid
typical bpf_map_{lookup,update}_elem operations, improving both performance
and usability.

There had to be special considerations for map freezing, to avoid having
writable memory view into a frozen map. To solve this issue, map freezing and
mmap-ing is happening under mutex now:
  - if map is already frozen, no writable mapping is allowed;
  - if map has writable memory mappings active (accounted in map-&gt;writecnt),
    map freezing will keep failing with -EBUSY;
  - once number of writable memory mappings drops to zero, map freezing can be
    performed again.

Only non-per-CPU plain arrays are supported right now. Maps with spinlocks
can't be memory mapped either.

For BPF_F_MMAPABLE array, memory allocation has to be done through vmalloc()
to be mmap()'able. We also need to make sure that array data memory is
page-sized and page-aligned, so we over-allocate memory in such a way that
struct bpf_array is at the end of a single page of memory with array-&gt;value
being aligned with the start of the second page. On deallocation we need to
accomodate this memory arrangement to free vmalloc()'ed memory correctly.

One important consideration regarding how memory-mapping subsystem functions.
Memory-mapping subsystem provides few optional callbacks, among them open()
and close().  close() is called for each memory region that is unmapped, so
that users can decrease their reference counters and free up resources, if
necessary. open() is *almost* symmetrical: it's called for each memory region
that is being mapped, **except** the very first one. So bpf_map_mmap does
initial refcnt bump, while open() will do any extra ones after that. Thus
number of close() calls is equal to number of open() calls plus one more.

Add ability to memory-map contents of BPF array map. This is extremely useful
for working with BPF global data from userspace programs. It allows to avoid
typical bpf_map_{lookup,update}_elem operations, improving both performance
and usability.

There had to be special considerations for map freezing, to avoid having
writable memory view into a frozen map. To solve this issue, map freezing and
mmap-ing is happening under mutex now:
  - if map is already frozen, no writable mapping is allowed;
  - if map has writable memory mappings active (accounted in map-&gt;writecnt),
    map freezing will keep failing with -EBUSY;
  - once number of writable memory mappings drops to zero, map freezing can be
    performed again.

can't be memory mapped either.

Similarly to bpf_map's refcnt/usercnt, convert bpf_prog's refcnt to atomic64
and remove artificial 32k limit. This allows to make bpf_prog's refcounting
non-failing, simplifying logic of users of bpf_prog_add/bpf_prog_inc.

Validated compilation by running allyesconfig kernel build.
