Commit 4bebdc7a85aa ("bpf: add helper bpf_perf_prog_read_value")
added helper bpf_perf_prog_read_value so that perf_event type program
can read event counter and enabled/running time.
This commit, however, introduced a bug which allows this helper
for tracepoint type programs. This is incorrect as bpf_perf_prog_read_value
needs to access perf_event through its bpf_perf_event_data_kern type context,
which is not available for tracepoint type program.

This patch fixed the issue by separating bpf_func_proto between tracepoint
and perf_event type programs and removed bpf_perf_prog_read_value
from tracepoint func prototype.

<title>bpf: fix bpf_prog_array_copy_to_user warning from perf event prog query</title>

syzkaller tried to perform a prog query in perf_event_query_prog_array()
where struct perf_event_query_bpf had an ids_len of 1,073,741,353 and
thus causing a warning due to failed kcalloc() allocation out of the
bpf_prog_array_copy_to_user() helper. Given we cannot attach more than
64 programs to a perf event, there's no point in allowing huge ids_len.
Therefore, allow a buffer that would fix the maximum number of ids and
also add a __GFP_NOWARN to the temporary ids buffer.

<title>bpf: change fake_ip for bpf_trace_printk helper</title>

<id>eefa864a81501161c05b35f14197677c937e5b9a</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, for bpf_trace_printk helper, fake ip address 0x1
is used with comments saying that fake ip will not be printed.
This is indeed true for 4.12 and earlier version, but for
4.13 and later version, the ip address will be printed if
it cannot be resolved with kallsym. Running samples/bpf/tracex5
program and you will have the following in the debugfs
trace_pipe output:
  ...
  &lt;...&gt;-1819  [003] ....   443.497877: 0x00000001: mmap
  &lt;...&gt;-1819  [003] ....   443.498289: 0x00000001: syscall=102 (one of get/set uid/pid/gid)
  ...

The kernel commit changed this behavior is:

      tracing: Show address when function names are not found
  ...

This patch changed the comment and also altered the fake ip
address to 0x0 as users may think 0x1 has some special meaning
while it doesn't. The new output:
  ...
  &lt;...&gt;-1799  [002] ....    25.953576: 0: mmap
  &lt;...&gt;-1799  [002] ....    25.953865: 0: read(fd=0, buf=00000000053936b5, size=512)

<title>error-injection: Separate error-injection from kprobe</title>

<content type='text'>
Since error-injection framework is not limited to be used
by kprobes, nor bpf. Other kernel subsystems can use it
freely for checking safeness of error-injection, e.g.
livepatch, ftrace etc.
So this separate error-injection framework from kprobes.

Some differences has been made:

- "kprobe" word is removed from any APIs/structures.
- BPF_ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() is renamed to
  ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() since it is not limited for BPF too.
- CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is the config item of this
  feature. It is automatically enabled if the arch supports
  error injection feature for kprobe or ftrace etc.

Compare instruction pointer with original one on the
stack instead using per-cpu bpf_kprobe_override flag.

This patch also consolidates reset_current_kprobe() and
preempt_enable_no_resched() blocks. Those can be done
in one place.

Check whether error injectable event is on function entry or not.
Currently it checks the event is ftrace-based kprobes or not,
but that is wrong. It should check if the event is on the entry
of target function. Since error injection will override a function
to just return with modified return value, that operation must
be done before the target function starts making stackframe.

As a side effect, bpf error injection is no need to depend on
function-tracer. It can work with sw-breakpoint based kprobe
events too.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2017-12-18

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Allow arbitrary function calls from one BPF function to another BPF function.
   As of today when writing BPF programs, __always_inline had to be used in
   the BPF C programs for all functions, unnecessarily causing LLVM to inflate
   code size. Handle this more naturally with support for BPF to BPF calls
   such that this __always_inline restriction can be overcome. As a result,
   it allows for better optimized code and finally enables to introduce core
   BPF libraries in the future that can be reused out of different projects.
   x86 and arm64 JIT support was added as well, from Alexei.

2) Add infrastructure for tagging functions as error injectable and allow for
   BPF to return arbitrary error values when BPF is attached via kprobes on
   those. This way of injecting errors generically eases testing and debugging
   without having to recompile or restart the kernel. Tags for opting-in for
   this facility are added with BPF_ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION(), from Josef.

3) For BPF offload via nfp JIT, add support for bpf_xdp_adjust_head() helper
   call for XDP programs. First part of this work adds handling of BPF
   capabilities included in the firmware, and the later patches add support
   to the nfp verifier part and JIT as well as some small optimizations,
   from Jakub.

4) The bpftool now also gets support for basic cgroup BPF operations such
   as attaching, detaching and listing current BPF programs. As a requirement
   for the attach part, bpftool can now also load object files through
   'bpftool prog load'. This reuses libbpf which we have in the kernel tree
   as well. bpftool-cgroup man page is added along with it, from Roman.

5) Back then commit e87c6bc3852b ("bpf: permit multiple bpf attachments for
   a single perf event") added support for attaching multiple BPF programs
   to a single perf event. Given they are configured through perf's ioctl()
   interface, the interface has been extended with a PERF_EVENT_IOC_QUERY_BPF
   command in this work in order to return an array of one or multiple BPF
   prog ids that are currently attached, from Yonghong.

6) Various minor fixes and cleanups to the bpftool's Makefile as well
   as a new 'uninstall' and 'doc-uninstall' target for removing bpftool
   itself or prior installed documentation related to it, from Quentin.

7) Add CONFIG_CGROUP_BPF=y to the BPF kernel selftest config file which is
   required for the test_dev_cgroup test case to run, from Naresh.

8) Fix reporting of XDP prog_flags for nfp driver, from Jakub.

9) Fix libbpf's exit code from the Makefile when libelf was not found in
   the system, also from Jakub.

Commit f371b304f12e ("bpf/tracing: allow user space to
query prog array on the same tp") introduced a perf
ioctl command to query prog array attached to the
same perf tracepoint. The commit introduced a
compilation error under certain config conditions, e.g.,
  (1). CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL is not defined, or
  (2). CONFIG_TRACING is defined but neither CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS
       nor CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS is defined.

Error message:
  kernel/events/core.o: In function `perf_ioctl':
  core.c:(.text+0x98c4): undefined reference to `bpf_event_query_prog_array'

This patch fixed this error by guarding the real definition under
CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS and provided static inline dummy function
if CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS was not defined.
It renamed the function from bpf_event_query_prog_array to
perf_event_query_prog_array and moved the definition from linux/bpf.h
to linux/trace_events.h so the definition is in proximity to
other prog_array related functions.

  (1). CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL is not defined, or
  (2). CONFIG_TRACING is defined but neither CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS
       nor CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS is defined.

Error message:
  kernel/events/core.o: In function `perf_ioctl':
  core.c:(.text+0x98c4): undefined reference to `bpf_event_query_prog_array'

This patch fixed this error by guarding the real definition under
CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS and provided static inline dummy function
if CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS was not defined.
It renamed the function from bpf_event_query_prog_array to
perf_event_query_prog_array and moved the definition from linux/bpf.h
to linux/trace_events.h so the definition is in proximity to
other prog_array related functions.

When tracing and networking programs are both attached in the
system and both use event-output helpers that eventually call
into perf_event_output(), then we could end up in a situation
where the tracing attached program runs in user context while
a cls_bpf program is triggered on that same CPU out of softirq
context.

Since both rely on the same per-cpu perf_sample_data, we could
potentially corrupt it. This can only ever happen in a combination
of the two types; all tracing programs use a bpf_prog_active
counter to bail out in case a program is already running on
that CPU out of a different context. XDP and cls_bpf programs
by themselves don't have this issue as they run in the same
context only. Therefore, split both perf_sample_data so they
cannot be accessed from each other.

Error injection is sloppy and very ad-hoc.  BPF could fill this niche
perfectly with it's kprobe functionality.  We could make sure errors are
only triggered in specific call chains that we care about with very
specific situations.  Accomplish this with the bpf_override_funciton
helper.  This will modify the probe'd callers return value to the
specified value and set the PC to an override function that simply
returns, bypassing the originally probed function.  This gives us a nice
clean way to implement systematic error injection for all of our code
paths.
