Attach_type will be set when a link is created by user. It is better to
record attach_type in bpf_link generically and have it available
universally for all link types. So add the attach_type field in bpf_link
and move the sleepable field to avoid unnecessary gap padding.

<title>bpf: Fix an issue in bpf_prog_test_run_xdp when page size greater than 4K</title>

The bpf selftest xdp_adjust_tail/xdp_adjust_frags_tail_grow failed on
arm64 with 64KB page:
   xdp_adjust_tail/xdp_adjust_frags_tail_grow:FAIL

In bpf_prog_test_run_xdp(), the xdp-&gt;frame_sz is set to 4K, but later on
when constructing frags, with 64K page size, the frag data_len could
be more than 4K. This will cause problems in bpf_xdp_frags_increase_tail().

To fix the failure, the xdp-&gt;frame_sz is set to be PAGE_SIZE so kernel
can test different page size properly. With the kernel change, the user
space and bpf prog needs adjustment. Currently, the MAX_SKB_FRAGS default
value is 17, so for 4K page, the maximum packet size will be less than 68K.
To test 64K page, a bigger maximum packet size than 68K is desired. So two
different functions are implemented for subtest xdp_adjust_frags_tail_grow.
Depending on different page size, different data input/output sizes are used
to adapt with different page size.

Adding verifier test for accessing const void pointer argument in
tracing programs.

The test program loads 1st argument of bpf_fentry_test10 function
which is const void pointer and checks that verifier allows that.

<title>bpf, test_run: Fix use-after-free issue in eth_skb_pkt_type()</title>

KMSAN reported a use-after-free issue in eth_skb_pkt_type()[1]. The
cause of the issue was that eth_skb_pkt_type() accessed skb's data
that didn't contain an Ethernet header. This occurs when
bpf_prog_test_run_xdp() passes an invalid value as the user_data
argument to bpf_test_init().

Fix this by returning an error when user_data is less than ETH_HLEN in
bpf_test_init(). Additionally, remove the check for "if (user_size &gt;
size)" as it is unnecessary.

Initially, xdp_frame::mem.id was used to search for the corresponding
&amp;page_pool to return the page correctly.
However, after that struct page was extended to have a direct pointer
to its PP (netmem has it as well), further keeping of this field makes
no sense. xdp_return_frame_bulk() still used it to do a lookup, and
this leftover is now removed.
Remove xdp_frame::mem and replace it with ::mem_type, as only memory
type still matters and we need to know it to be able to free the frame
correctly.
As a cute side effect, we can now make every scalar field in &amp;xdp_frame
of 4 byte width, speeding up accesses to them.

<title>bpf: fix cgroup_skb prog test run direct packet access</title>

This is needed in the context of Tetragon to test cgroup_skb programs
using BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN with direct packet access.

Commit b39b5f411dcf ("bpf: add cg_skb_is_valid_access for
BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB") added direct packet access for cgroup_skb
programs and following commit 2cb494a36c98 ("bpf: add tests for direct
packet access from CGROUP_SKB") added tests to the verifier to ensure
that access to skb fields was possible and also fixed
bpf_prog_test_run_skb. However, is_direct_pkt_access was never set to
true for this program type, so data pointers were not computed when
using prog_test_run, making data_end always equal to zero (data_meta is
not accessible for cgroup_skb).

<title>bpf, test_run: Fix LIVE_FRAME frame update after a page has been recycled</title>

<id>c40dd8c4732551605712985bc5b7045094c6458d</id>
<content type='text'>
The test_run code detects whether a page has been modified and
re-initialises the xdp_frame structure if it has, using
xdp_update_frame_from_buff(). However, xdp_update_frame_from_buff()
doesn't touch frame-&gt;mem, so that wasn't correctly re-initialised, which
led to the pages from page_pool not being returned correctly. Syzbot
noticed this as a memory leak.

Fix this by also copying the frame-&gt;mem structure when re-initialising
the frame, like we do on initialisation of a new page from page_pool.

Fixes: e5995bc7e2ba ("bpf, test_run: fix crashes due to XDP frame overwriting/corruption")
Fixes: b530e9e1063e ("bpf: Add "live packet" mode for XDP in BPF_PROG_RUN")

Commit 980ca8ceeae6 ("bpf: check bpf_dummy_struct_ops program params for
test runs") does bitwise AND between reg_type and PTR_MAYBE_NULL, which
is correct, but due to type difference the compiler complains:

  net/bpf/bpf_dummy_struct_ops.c:118:31: warning: bitwise operation between different enumeration types ('const enum bpf_reg_type' and 'enum bpf_type_flag') [-Wenum-enum-conversion]
    118 |                 if (info &amp;&amp; (info-&gt;reg_type &amp; PTR_MAYBE_NULL))
        |                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Workaround the warning by moving the type_may_be_null() helper from
verifier.c into bpf_verifier.h, and reuse it here to check whether param
is nullable.

pull-request: bpf-next 2024-07-08

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

We've added 102 non-merge commits during the last 28 day(s) which contain
a total of 127 files changed, 4606 insertions(+), 980 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Support resilient split BTF which cuts down on duplication and makes BTF
   as compact as possible wrt BTF from modules, from Alan Maguire &amp; Eduard Zingerman.

2) Add support for dumping kfunc prototypes from BTF which enables both detecting
   as well as dumping compilable prototypes for kfuncs, from Daniel Xu.

3) Batch of s390x BPF JIT improvements to add support for BPF arena and to implement
   support for BPF exceptions, from Ilya Leoshkevich.

4) Batch of riscv64 BPF JIT improvements in particular to add 12-argument support
   for BPF trampolines and to utilize bpf_prog_pack for the latter, from Pu Lehui.

5) Extend BPF test infrastructure to add a CHECKSUM_COMPLETE validation option
   for skbs and add coverage along with it, from Vadim Fedorenko.

6) Inline bpf_get_current_task/_btf() helpers in the arm64 BPF JIT which gives
   a small 1% performance improvement in micro-benchmarks, from Puranjay Mohan.

7) Extend the BPF verifier to track the delta between linked registers in order
   to better deal with recent LLVM code optimizations, from Alexei Starovoitov.

8) Fix bpf_wq_set_callback_impl() kfunc signature where the third argument should
   have been a pointer to the map value, from Benjamin Tissoires.

9) Extend BPF selftests to add regular expression support for test output matching
   and adjust some of the selftest when compiled under gcc, from Cupertino Miranda.

10) Simplify task_file_seq_get_next() and remove an unnecessary loop which always
    iterates exactly once anyway, from Dan Carpenter.

11) Add the capability to offload the netfilter flowtable in XDP layer through
    kfuncs, from Florian Westphal &amp; Lorenzo Bianconi.

12) Various cleanups in networking helpers in BPF selftests to shave off a few
    lines of open-coded functions on client/server handling, from Geliang Tang.

13) Properly propagate prog-&gt;aux-&gt;tail_call_reachable out of BPF verifier, so
    that x86 JIT does not need to implement detection, from Leon Hwang.

14) Fix BPF verifier to add a missing check_func_arg_reg_off() to prevent an
    out-of-bounds memory access for dynpointers, from Matt Bobrowski.

15) Fix bpf_session_cookie() kfunc to return __u64 instead of long pointer as
    it might lead to problems on 32-bit archs, from Jiri Olsa.

16) Enhance traffic validation and dynamic batch size support in xsk selftests,
    from Tushar Vyavahare.
