While reviewing the verifier code, I recently noticed that the
following two program variants in relation to tail calls can be
loaded.

Variant 1:

  # bpftool p d x i 15
    0: (15) if r1 == 0x0 goto pc+3
    1: (18) r2 = map[id:5]
    3: (05) goto pc+2
    4: (18) r2 = map[id:6]
    6: (b7) r3 = 7
    7: (35) if r3 &gt;= 0xa0 goto pc+2
    8: (54) (u32) r3 &amp;= (u32) 255
    9: (85) call bpf_tail_call#12
   10: (b7) r0 = 1
   11: (95) exit

  # bpftool m s i 5
    5: prog_array  flags 0x0
        key 4B  value 4B  max_entries 4  memlock 4096B
  # bpftool m s i 6
    6: prog_array  flags 0x0
        key 4B  value 4B  max_entries 160  memlock 4096B

Variant 2:

  # bpftool p d x i 20
    0: (15) if r1 == 0x0 goto pc+3
    1: (18) r2 = map[id:8]
    3: (05) goto pc+2
    4: (18) r2 = map[id:7]
    6: (b7) r3 = 7
    7: (35) if r3 &gt;= 0x4 goto pc+2
    8: (54) (u32) r3 &amp;= (u32) 3
    9: (85) call bpf_tail_call#12
   10: (b7) r0 = 1
   11: (95) exit

  # bpftool m s i 8
    8: prog_array  flags 0x0
        key 4B  value 4B  max_entries 160  memlock 4096B
  # bpftool m s i 7
    7: prog_array  flags 0x0
        key 4B  value 4B  max_entries 4  memlock 4096B

In both cases the index masking inserted by the verifier in order
to control out of bounds speculation from a CPU via b2157399cc98
("bpf: prevent out-of-bounds speculation") seems to be incorrect
in what it is enforcing. In the 1st variant, the mask is applied
from the map with the significantly larger number of entries where
we would allow to a certain degree out of bounds speculation for
the smaller map, and in the 2nd variant where the mask is applied
from the map with the smaller number of entries, we get buggy
behavior since we truncate the index of the larger map.

The original intent from commit b2157399cc98 is to reject such
occasions where two or more different tail call maps are used
in the same tail call helper invocation. However, the check on
the BPF_MAP_PTR_POISON is never hit since we never poisoned the
saved pointer in the first place! We do this explicitly for map
lookups but in case of tail calls we basically used the tail
call map in insn_aux_data that was processed in the most recent
path which the verifier walked. Thus any prior path that stored
a pointer in insn_aux_data at the helper location was always
overridden.

Fix it by moving the map pointer poison logic into a small helper
that covers both BPF helpers with the same logic. After that in
fixup_bpf_calls() the poison check is then hit for tail calls
and the program rejected. Latter only happens in unprivileged
case since this is the *only* occasion where a rewrite needs to
happen, and where such rewrite is specific to the map (max_entries,
index_mask). In the privileged case the rewrite is generic for
the insn-&gt;imm / insn-&gt;code update so multiple maps from different
paths can be handled just fine since all the remaining logic
happens in the instruction processing itself. This is similar
to the case of map lookups: in case there is a collision of
maps in fixup_bpf_calls() we must skip the inlined rewrite since
this will turn the generic instruction sequence into a non-
generic one. Thus the patch_call_imm will simply update the
insn-&gt;imm location where the bpf_map_lookup_elem() will later
take care of the dispatch. Given we need this 'poison' state
as a check, the information of whether a map is an unpriv_array
gets lost, so enforcing it prior to that needs an additional
state. In general this check is needed since there are some
complex and tail call intensive BPF programs out there where
LLVM tends to generate such code occasionally. We therefore
convert the map_ptr rather into map_state to store all this
w/o extra memory overhead, and the bit whether one of the maps
involved in the collision was from an unpriv_array thus needs
to be retained as well there.

<title>bpf: Hooks for sys_bind</title>

== The problem ==

There is a use-case when all processes inside a cgroup should use one
single IP address on a host that has multiple IP configured.  Those
processes should use the IP for both ingress and egress, for TCP and UDP
traffic. So TCP/UDP servers should be bound to that IP to accept
incoming connections on it, and TCP/UDP clients should make outgoing
connections from that IP. It should not require changing application
code since it's often not possible.

Currently it's solved by intercepting glibc wrappers around syscalls
such as `bind(2)` and `connect(2)`. It's done by a shared library that
is preloaded for every process in a cgroup so that whenever TCP/UDP
server calls `bind(2)`, the library replaces IP in sockaddr before
passing arguments to syscall. When application calls `connect(2)` the
library transparently binds the local end of connection to that IP
(`bind(2)` with `IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT` to avoid performance penalty).

Shared library approach is fragile though, e.g.:
* some applications clear env vars (incl. `LD_PRELOAD`);
* `/etc/ld.so.preload` doesn't help since some applications are linked
  with option `-z nodefaultlib`;
* other applications don't use glibc and there is nothing to intercept.

== The solution ==

The patch provides much more reliable in-kernel solution for the 1st
part of the problem: binding TCP/UDP servers on desired IP. It does not
depend on application environment and implementation details (whether
glibc is used or not).

It adds new eBPF program type `BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR` and
attach types `BPF_CGROUP_INET4_BIND` and `BPF_CGROUP_INET6_BIND`
(similar to already existing `BPF_CGROUP_INET_SOCK_CREATE`).

The new program type is intended to be used with sockets (`struct sock`)
in a cgroup and provided by user `struct sockaddr`. Pointers to both of
them are parts of the context passed to programs of newly added types.

The new attach types provides hooks in `bind(2)` system call for both
IPv4 and IPv6 so that one can write a program to override IP addresses
and ports user program tries to bind to and apply such a program for
whole cgroup.

== Implementation notes ==

[1]
Separate attach types for `AF_INET` and `AF_INET6` are added
intentionally to prevent reading/writing to offsets that don't make
sense for corresponding socket family. E.g. if user passes `sockaddr_in`
it doesn't make sense to read from / write to `user_ip6[]` context
fields.

[2]
The write access to `struct bpf_sock_addr_kern` is implemented using
special field as an additional "register".

There are just two registers in `sock_addr_convert_ctx_access`: `src`
with value to write and `dst` with pointer to context that can't be
changed not to break later instructions. But the fields, allowed to
write to, are not available directly and to access them address of
corresponding pointer has to be loaded first. To get additional register
the 1st not used by `src` and `dst` one is taken, its content is saved
to `bpf_sock_addr_kern.tmp_reg`, then the register is used to load
address of pointer field, and finally the register's content is restored
from the temporary field after writing `src` value.

== Implementation notes ==

[1]
Separate attach types for `AF_INET` and `AF_INET6` are added
intentionally to prevent reading/writing to offsets that don't make
sense for corresponding socket family. E.g. if user passes `sockaddr_in`
it doesn't make sense to read from / write to `user_ip6[]` context
fields.

[2]
The write access to `struct bpf_sock_addr_kern` is implemented using
special field as an additional "register".

There are just two registers in `sock_addr_convert_ctx_access`: `src`
with value to write and `dst` with pointer to context that can't be
changed not to break later instructions. But the fields, allowed to
write to, are not available directly and to access them address of
corresponding pointer has to be loaded first. To get additional register
the 1st not used by `src` and `dst` one is taken, its content is saved
to `bpf_sock_addr_kern.tmp_reg`, then the register is used to load
address of pointer field, and finally the register's content is restored
from the temporary field after writing `src` value.

== The problem ==

There are use-cases when a program of some type can be attached to
multiple attach points and those attach points must have different
permissions to access context or to call helpers.

E.g. context structure may have fields for both IPv4 and IPv6 but it
doesn't make sense to read from / write to IPv6 field when attach point
is somewhere in IPv4 stack.

Same applies to BPF-helpers: it may make sense to call some helper from
some attach point, but not from other for same prog type.

== The solution ==

Introduce `expected_attach_type` field in in `struct bpf_attr` for
`BPF_PROG_LOAD` command. If scenario described in "The problem" section
is the case for some prog type, the field will be checked twice:

1) At load time prog type is checked to see if attach type for it must
   be known to validate program permissions correctly. Prog will be
   rejected with EINVAL if it's the case and `expected_attach_type` is
   not specified or has invalid value.

2) At attach time `attach_type` is compared with `expected_attach_type`,
   if prog type requires to have one, and, if they differ, attach will
   be rejected with EINVAL.

The `expected_attach_type` is now available as part of `struct bpf_prog`
in both `bpf_verifier_ops-&gt;is_valid_access()` and
`bpf_verifier_ops-&gt;get_func_proto()` () and can be used to check context
accesses and calls to helpers correspondingly.

Initially the idea was discussed by Alexei Starovoitov &lt;ast@fb.com&gt; and
Daniel Borkmann &lt;daniel@iogearbox.net&gt; here:

The BTF (BPF Type Format) verifier needs to reuse the current
BPF verifier log.  Hence, it requires the following changes:

(1) Expose log_write() in verifier.c for other users.
    Its name is renamed to bpf_verifier_vlog().

(2) The BTF verifier also needs to check
'log-&gt;level &amp;&amp; log-&gt;ubuf &amp;&amp; !bpf_verifier_log_full(log);'
independently outside of the current log_write().  It is
because the BTF verifier will do one-check before
making multiple calls to btf_verifier_vlog to log
the details of a type.

Hence, this check is also re-factored to a new function
bpf_verifier_log_needed().  Since it is re-factored,
we can check it before va_start() in the current
bpf_verifier_log_write() and verbose().

<title>bpf: Remove struct bpf_verifier_env argument from print_bpf_insn</title>

We use print_bpf_insn in user space (bpftool and soon perf),
so it'd be nice to keep it generic and strip it off the kernel
struct bpf_verifier_env argument.

This argument can be safely removed, because its users can
use the struct bpf_insn_cbs::private_data to pass it.

By changing the argument type  we can no longer have clean
'verbose' alias to 'bpf_verifier_log_write' in verifier.c.
Instead  we're adding the  'verbose' cb_print callback and
removing the alias.

This way we have new cb_print callback in place, and all
the 'verbose(env, ...) calls in verifier.c will cleanly
cast to 'verbose(void *, ...)' so no other change is
needed.

<title>bpf: create tcp_bpf_ulp allowing BPF to monitor socket TX/RX data</title>

This implements a BPF ULP layer to allow policy enforcement and
monitoring at the socket layer. In order to support this a new
program type BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG is used to run the policy at
the sendmsg/sendpage hook. To attach the policy to sockets a
sockmap is used with a new program attach type BPF_SK_MSG_VERDICT.

Similar to previous sockmap usages when a sock is added to a
sockmap, via a map update, if the map contains a BPF_SK_MSG_VERDICT
program type attached then the BPF ULP layer is created on the
socket and the attached BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG program is run for
every msg in sendmsg case and page/offset in sendpage case.

BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG Semantics/API:

BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG supports only two return codes SK_PASS and
SK_DROP. Returning SK_DROP free's the copied data in the sendmsg
case and in the sendpage case leaves the data untouched. Both cases
return -EACESS to the user. Returning SK_PASS will allow the msg to
be sent.

In the sendmsg case data is copied into kernel space buffers before
running the BPF program. The kernel space buffers are stored in a
scatterlist object where each element is a kernel memory buffer.
Some effort is made to coalesce data from the sendmsg call here.
For example a sendmsg call with many one byte iov entries will
likely be pushed into a single entry. The BPF program is run with
data pointers (start/end) pointing to the first sg element.

In the sendpage case data is not copied. We opt not to copy the
data by default here, because the BPF infrastructure does not
know what bytes will be needed nor when they will be needed. So
copying all bytes may be wasteful. Because of this the initial
start/end data pointers are (0,0). Meaning no data can be read or
written. This avoids reading data that may be modified by the
user. A new helper is added later in this series if reading and
writing the data is needed. The helper call will do a copy by
default so that the page is exclusively owned by the BPF call.

The verdict from the BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG applies to the entire msg
in the sendmsg() case and the entire page/offset in the sendpage case.
This avoids ambiguity on how to handle mixed return codes in the
sendmsg case. Again a helper is added later in the series if
a verdict needs to apply to multiple system calls and/or only
a subpart of the currently being processed message.

The helper msg_redirect_map() can be used to select the socket to
send the data on. This is used similar to existing redirect use
cases. This allows policy to redirect msgs.

Pseudo code simple example:

The basic logic to attach a program to a socket is as follows,

  // load the programs
  bpf_prog_load(SOCKMAP_TCP_MSG_PROG, BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG,
		&amp;obj, &amp;msg_prog);

  // lookup the sockmap
  bpf_map_msg = bpf_object__find_map_by_name(obj, "my_sock_map");

  // get fd for sockmap
  map_fd_msg = bpf_map__fd(bpf_map_msg);

  // attach program to sockmap
  bpf_prog_attach(msg_prog, map_fd_msg, BPF_SK_MSG_VERDICT, 0);

Adding sockets to the map is done in the normal way,

  // Add a socket 'fd' to sockmap at location 'i'
  bpf_map_update_elem(map_fd_msg, &amp;i, fd, BPF_ANY);

After the above any socket attached to "my_sock_map", in this case
'fd', will run the BPF msg verdict program (msg_prog) on every
sendmsg and sendpage system call.

For a complete example see BPF selftests or sockmap samples.

Implementation notes:

It seemed the simplest, to me at least, to use a refcnt to ensure
psock is not lost across the sendmsg copy into the sg, the bpf program
running on the data in sg_data, and the final pass to the TCP stack.
Some performance testing may show a better method to do this and avoid
the refcnt cost, but for now use the simpler method.

Another item that will come after basic support is in place is
supporting MSG_MORE flag. At the moment we call sendpages even if
the MSG_MORE flag is set. An enhancement would be to collect the
pages into a larger scatterlist and pass down the stack. Notice that
bpf_tcp_sendmsg() could support this with some additional state saved
across sendmsg calls. I built the code to support this without having
to do refactoring work. Other features TBD include ZEROCOPY and the
TCP_RECV_QUEUE/TCP_NO_QUEUE support. This will follow initial series
shortly.

Future work could improve size limits on the scatterlist rings used
here. Currently, we use MAX_SKB_FRAGS simply because this was being
used already in the TLS case. Future work could extend the kernel sk
APIs to tune this depending on workload. This is a trade-off
between memory usage and throughput performance.
