pull-request: bpf-next 2024-03-11

We've added 59 non-merge commits during the last 9 day(s) which contain
a total of 88 files changed, 4181 insertions(+), 590 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and introduce
   VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages to be used in bpf_arena,
   from Alexei.

2) Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between bpf
   program and user space where structures inside the arena can have
   pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work seamlessly for
   both user-space programs and bpf programs, from Alexei and Andrii.

3) Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the verifier
   and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop assuming it's
   behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate it, from Alexei.

4) Use IETF format for field definitions in the BPF standard
   document, from Dave.

5) Extend struct_ops libbpf APIs to allow specify version suffixes for
   stuct_ops map types, share the same BPF program between several map
   definitions, and other improvements, from Eduard.

6) Enable struct_ops support for more than one page in trampolines,
   from Kui-Feng.

7) Support kCFI + BPF on riscv64, from Puranjay.

8) Use bpf_prog_pack for arm64 bpf trampoline, from Puranjay.

9) Fix roundup_pow_of_two undefined behavior on 32-bit archs, from Toke.

prog-&gt;aux-&gt;sleepable is checked very frequently as part of (some) BPF
program run hot paths. So this extra aux indirection seems wasteful and
on busy systems might cause unnecessary memory cache misses.

Let's move sleepable flag into prog itself to eliminate unnecessary
pointer dereference.

<title>bpf: struct_ops supports more than one page for trampolines.</title>

The BPF struct_ops previously only allowed one page of trampolines.
Each function pointer of a struct_ops is implemented by a struct_ops
bpf program. Each struct_ops bpf program requires a trampoline.
The following selftest patch shows each page can hold a little more
than 20 trampolines.

While one page is more than enough for the tcp-cc usecase,
the sched_ext use case shows that one page is not always enough and hits
the one page limit. This patch overcomes the one page limit by allocating
another page when needed and it is limited to a total of
MAX_IMAGE_PAGES (8) pages which is more than enough for
reasonable usages.

The variable st_map-&gt;image has been changed to st_map-&gt;image_pages, and
its type has been changed to an array of pointers to pages.

<title>bpf: treewide: Annotate BPF kfuncs in BTF</title>

This commit marks kfuncs as such inside the .BTF_ids section. The upshot
of these annotations is that we'll be able to automatically generate
kfunc prototypes for downstream users. The process is as follows:

1. In source, use BTF_KFUNCS_START/END macro pair to mark kfuncs
2. During build, pahole injects into BTF a "bpf_kfunc" BTF_DECL_TAG for
   each function inside BTF_KFUNCS sets
3. At runtime, vmlinux or module BTF is made available in sysfs
4. At runtime, bpftool (or similar) can look at provided BTF and
   generate appropriate prototypes for functions with "bpf_kfunc" tag

To ensure future kfunc are similarly tagged, we now also return error
inside kfunc registration for untagged kfuncs. For vmlinux kfuncs,
we also WARN(), as initcall machinery does not handle errors.

BPF struct_ops uses __arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline() to write
trampolines for indirect function calls. These tramplines much have
matching CFI.

In order to obtain the correct CFI hash for the various methods, add a
matching structure that contains stub functions, the compiler will
generate correct CFI which we can pilfer for the trampolines.

<title>bpf: Add helpers for trampoline image management</title>

<id>82583daa2efc2e336962b231a46bad03a280b3e0</id>
<content type='text'>
As BPF trampoline of different archs moves from bpf_jit_[alloc|free]_exec()
to bpf_prog_pack_[alloc|free](), we need to use different _alloc, _free for
different archs during the transition. Add the following helpers for this
transition:

void *arch_alloc_bpf_trampoline(unsigned int size);
void arch_free_bpf_trampoline(void *image, unsigned int size);
void arch_protect_bpf_trampoline(void *image, unsigned int size);
void arch_unprotect_bpf_trampoline(void *image, unsigned int size);

The fallback version of these helpers require size &lt;= PAGE_SIZE, but they
are only called with size == PAGE_SIZE. They will be called with size &lt;
PAGE_SIZE when arch_bpf_trampoline_size() helper is introduced later.

As BPF trampoline of different archs moves from bpf_jit_[alloc|free]_exec()
to bpf_prog_pack_[alloc|free](), we need to use different _alloc, _free for
different archs during the transition. Add the following helpers for this
transition:

void *arch_alloc_bpf_trampoline(unsigned int size);
void arch_free_bpf_trampoline(void *image, unsigned int size);
void arch_protect_bpf_trampoline(void *image, unsigned int size);
void arch_unprotect_bpf_trampoline(void *image, unsigned int size);

The fallback version of these helpers require size &lt;= PAGE_SIZE, but they
are only called with size == PAGE_SIZE. They will be called with size &lt;
PAGE_SIZE when arch_bpf_trampoline_size() helper is introduced later.
