[ Upstream commit f44ec8733a8469143fde1984b5e6931b2e2f6f3f ]

In general, BPF link's underlying BPF program should be considered to be
reachable through attach hook -&gt; link -&gt; prog chain, and, pessimistically,
we have to assume that as long as link's memory is not safe to free,
attach hook's code might hold a pointer to BPF program and use it.

As such, it's not (generally) correct to put link's program early before
waiting for RCU GPs to go through. More eager bpf_prog_put() that we
currently do is mostly correct due to BPF program's release code doing
similar RCU GP waiting, but as will be shown in the following patches,
BPF program can be non-sleepable (and, thus, reliant on only "classic"
RCU GP), while BPF link's attach hook can have sleepable semantics and
needs to be protected by RCU Tasks Trace, and for such cases BPF link
has to go through RCU Tasks Trace + "classic" RCU GPs before being
deallocated. And so, if we put BPF program early, we might free BPF
program before we free BPF link, leading to use-after-free situation.

So, this patch defers bpf_prog_put() until we are ready to perform
bpf_link's deallocation. At worst, this delays BPF program freeing by
one extra RCU GP, but that seems completely acceptable. Alternatively,
we'd need more elaborate ways to determine BPF hook, BPF link, and BPF
program lifetimes, and how they relate to each other, which seems like
an unnecessary complication.

Note, for most BPF links we still will perform eager bpf_prog_put() and
link dealloc, so for those BPF links there are no observable changes
whatsoever. Only BPF links that use deferred dealloc might notice
slightly delayed freeing of BPF programs.

Also, to reduce code and logic duplication, extract program put + link
dealloc logic into bpf_link_dealloc() helper.

<title>bpf: Prevent tailcall infinite loop caused by freplace</title>

[ Upstream commit d6083f040d5d8f8d748462c77e90547097df936e ]

There is a potential infinite loop issue that can occur when using a
combination of tail calls and freplace.

In an upcoming selftest, the attach target for entry_freplace of
tailcall_freplace.c is subprog_tc of tc_bpf2bpf.c, while the tail call in
entry_freplace leads to entry_tc. This results in an infinite loop:

entry_tc -&gt; subprog_tc -&gt; entry_freplace --tailcall-&gt; entry_tc.

The problem arises because the tail_call_cnt in entry_freplace resets to
zero each time entry_freplace is executed, causing the tail call mechanism
to never terminate, eventually leading to a kernel panic.

To fix this issue, the solution is twofold:

1. Prevent updating a program extended by an freplace program to a
   prog_array map.
2. Prevent extending a program that is already part of a prog_array map
   with an freplace program.

This ensures that:

* If a program or its subprogram has been extended by an freplace program,
  it can no longer be updated to a prog_array map.
* If a program has been added to a prog_array map, neither it nor its
  subprograms can be extended by an freplace program.

Moreover, an extension program should not be tailcalled. As such, return
-EINVAL if the program has a type of BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT when adding it to a
prog_array map.

Additionally, fix a minor code style issue by replacing eight spaces with a
tab for proper formatting.

Add a MEM_WRITE attribute for BPF helper functions which can be used in
bpf_func_proto to annotate an argument type in order to let the verifier
know that the helper writes into the memory passed as an argument. In
the past MEM_UNINIT has been (ab)used for this function, but the latter
merely tells the verifier that the passed memory can be uninitialized.

There have been bugs with overloading the latter but aside from that
there are also cases where the passed memory is read + written which
currently cannot be expressed, see also 4b3786a6c539 ("bpf: Zero former
ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} args in case of error").

Previously when retrieving `bpf_link_info.perf_event` for
kprobe/uprobe/tracepoint, the `name_len` field was not populated by the
kernel, leaving it to reflect the value initially set by the user. This
behavior was inconsistent with how other input/output string buffer
fields function (e.g. `raw_tracepoint.tp_name_len`).

This patch fills `name_len` with the actual size of the string name.

When security_bpf_map_create() in map_create() fails, map_create() will
call btf_put() and -&gt;map_free() callback to free the map. It doesn't
free the btf_record of map value, so add the missed btf_record_free()
when map creation fails.

However btf_record_free() needs to be called after -&gt;map_free() just
like bpf_map_free_deferred() did, because -&gt;map_free() may use the
btf_record to free the special fields in preallocated map value. So
factor out bpf_map_free() helper to free the map, btf_record, and btf
orderly and use the helper in both map_create() and
bpf_map_free_deferred().

For all non-tracing helpers which formerly had ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} as input
arguments, zero the value for the case of an error as otherwise it could leak
memory. For tracing, it is not needed given CAP_PERFMON can already read all
kernel memory anyway hence bpf_get_func_arg() and bpf_get_func_ret() is skipped
in here.

Also, the MTU helpers mtu_len pointer value is being written but also read.
Technically, the MEM_UNINIT should not be there in order to always force init.
Removing MEM_UNINIT needs more verifier rework though: MEM_UNINIT right now
implies two things actually: i) write into memory, ii) memory does not have
to be initialized. If we lift MEM_UNINIT, it then becomes: i) read into memory,
ii) memory must be initialized. This means that for bpf_*_check_mtu() we're
readding the issue we're trying to fix, that is, it would then be able to
write back into things like .rodata BPF maps. Follow-up work will rework the
MEM_UNINIT semantics such that the intent can be better expressed. For now
just clear the *mtu_len on error path which can be lifted later again.

Lonial found an issue that despite user- and BPF-side frozen BPF map
(like in case of .rodata), it was still possible to write into it from
a BPF program side through specific helpers having ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT}
as arguments.

In check_func_arg() when the argument is as mentioned, the meta-&gt;raw_mode
is never set. Later, check_helper_mem_access(), under the case of
PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE as register base type, it assumes BPF_READ for the
subsequent call to check_map_access_type() and given the BPF map is
read-only it succeeds.

The helpers really need to be annotated as ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} | MEM_UNINIT
when results are written into them as opposed to read out of them. The
latter indicates that it's okay to pass a pointer to uninitialized memory
as the memory is written to anyway.

However, ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} is a special case of ARG_PTR_TO_FIXED_SIZE_MEM
just with additional alignment requirement. So it is better to just get
rid of the ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} special cases altogether and reuse the
fixed size memory types. For this, add MEM_ALIGNED to additionally ensure
alignment given these helpers write directly into the args via *&lt;ptr&gt; = val.
The .arg*_size has been initialized reflecting the actual sizeof(*&lt;ptr&gt;).

MEM_ALIGNED can only be used in combination with MEM_FIXED_SIZE annotated
argument types, since in !MEM_FIXED_SIZE cases the verifier does not know
the buffer size a priori and therefore cannot blindly write *&lt;ptr&gt; = val.
