pull-request: bpf-next 2019-04-12

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

The main changes are:

1) Improve BPF verifier scalability for large programs through two
   optimizations: i) remove verifier states that are not useful in pruning,
   ii) stop walking parentage chain once first LIVE_READ is seen. Combined
   gives approx 20x speedup. Increase limits for accepting large programs
   under root, and add various stress tests, from Alexei.

2) Implement global data support in BPF. This enables static global variables
   for .data, .rodata and .bss sections to be properly handled which allows
   for more natural program development. This also opens up the possibility
   to optimize program workflow by compiling ELFs only once and later only
   rewriting section data before reload, from Daniel and with test cases and
   libbpf refactoring from Joe.

3) Add config option to generate BTF type info for vmlinux as part of the
   kernel build process. DWARF debug info is converted via pahole to BTF.
   Latter relies on libbpf and makes use of BTF deduplication algorithm which
   results in 100x savings compared to DWARF data. Resulting .BTF section is
   typically about 2MB in size, from Andrii.

4) Add BPF verifier support for stack access with variable offset from
   helpers and add various test cases along with it, from Andrey.

5) Extend bpf_skb_adjust_room() growth BPF helper to mark inner MAC header
   so that L2 encapsulation can be used for tc tunnels, from Alan.

6) Add support for input __sk_buff context in BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN so that
   users can define a subset of allowed __sk_buff fields that get fed into
   the test program, from Stanislav.

7) Add bpf fs multi-dimensional array tests for BTF test suite and fix up
   various UBSAN warnings in bpftool, from Yonghong.

8) Generate a pkg-config file for libbpf, from Luca.

9) Dump program's BTF id in bpftool, from Prashant.

10) libbpf fix to use smaller BPF log buffer size for AF_XDP's XDP
    program, from Magnus.

11) kallsyms related fixes for the case when symbols are not present in
    BPF selftests and samples, from Daniel

<title>bpf, libbpf: support global data/bss/rodata sections</title>

This work adds BPF loader support for global data sections
to libbpf. This allows to write BPF programs in more natural
C-like way by being able to define global variables and const
data.

Back at LPC 2018 [0] we presented a first prototype which
implemented support for global data sections by extending BPF
syscall where union bpf_attr would get additional memory/size
pair for each section passed during prog load in order to later
add this base address into the ldimm64 instruction along with
the user provided offset when accessing a variable. Consensus
from LPC was that for proper upstream support, it would be
more desirable to use maps instead of bpf_attr extension as
this would allow for introspection of these sections as well
as potential live updates of their content. This work follows
this path by taking the following steps from loader side:

 1) In bpf_object__elf_collect() step we pick up ".data",
    ".rodata", and ".bss" section information.

 2) If present, in bpf_object__init_internal_map() we add
    maps to the obj's map array that corresponds to each
    of the present sections. Given section size and access
    properties can differ, a single entry array map is
    created with value size that is corresponding to the
    ELF section size of .data, .bss or .rodata. These
    internal maps are integrated into the normal map
    handling of libbpf such that when user traverses all
    obj maps, they can be differentiated from user-created
    ones via bpf_map__is_internal(). In later steps when
    we actually create these maps in the kernel via
    bpf_object__create_maps(), then for .data and .rodata
    sections their content is copied into the map through
    bpf_map_update_elem(). For .bss this is not necessary
    since array map is already zero-initialized by default.
    Additionally, for .rodata the map is frozen as read-only
    after setup, such that neither from program nor syscall
    side writes would be possible.

 3) In bpf_program__collect_reloc() step, we record the
    corresponding map, insn index, and relocation type for
    the global data.

 4) And last but not least in the actual relocation step in
    bpf_program__relocate(), we mark the ldimm64 instruction
    with src_reg = BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_VALUE where in the first
    imm field the map's file descriptor is stored as similarly
    done as in BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD, and in the second imm field
    (as ldimm64 is 2-insn wide) we store the access offset
    into the section. Given these maps have only single element
    ldimm64's off remains zero in both parts.

 5) On kernel side, this special marked BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_VALUE
    load will then store the actual target address in order
    to have a 'map-lookup'-free access. That is, the actual
    map value base address + offset. The destination register
    in the verifier will then be marked as PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE,
    containing the fixed offset as reg-&gt;off and backing BPF
    map as reg-&gt;map_ptr. Meaning, it's treated as any other
    normal map value from verification side, only with
    efficient, direct value access instead of actual call to
    map lookup helper as in the typical case.

Currently, only support for static global variables has been
added, and libbpf rejects non-static global variables from
loading. This can be lifted until we have proper semantics
for how BPF will treat multi-object BPF loads. From BTF side,
libbpf will set the value type id of the types corresponding
to the ".bss", ".data" and ".rodata" names which LLVM will
emit without the object name prefix. The key type will be
left as zero, thus making use of the key-less BTF option in
array maps.

Simple example dump of program using globals vars in each
section:

For Cilium use-case in particular, this enables migrating configuration
constants from Cilium daemon's generated header defines into global
data sections such that expensive runtime recompilations with LLVM can
be avoided altogether. Instead, the ELF file becomes effectively a
"template", meaning, it is compiled only once (!) and the Cilium daemon
will then rewrite relevant configuration data from the ELF's .data or
.rodata sections directly instead of recompiling the program. The
updated ELF is then loaded into the kernel and atomically replaces
the existing program in the networking datapath. More info in [0].

Based upon recent fix in LLVM, commit c0db6b6bd444 ("[BPF] Don't fail
for static variables").

Both btf.h and xsk.h headers are not installed quietly due to
missing '\' for the call to QUIET_INSTALL. Lets fix it.

Before:

  # make install_headers
    INSTALL  headers
  if [ ! -d '''/usr/local/include/bpf' ]; then install -d -m 755 '''/usr/local/include/bpf'; fi; install btf.h -m 644 '''/usr/local/include/bpf';
  if [ ! -d '''/usr/local/include/bpf' ]; then install -d -m 755 '''/usr/local/include/bpf'; fi; install xsk.h -m 644 '''/usr/local/include/bpf';
  # ls /usr/local/include/bpf/
  bpf.h  btf.h  libbpf.h  xsk.h

After:

  # make install_headers
    INSTALL  headers
  # ls /usr/local/include/bpf/
  bpf.h  btf.h  libbpf.h  xsk.h

<title>libbpf: add libelf dependency to shared library build</title>

The DPDK project is moving forward with its AF_XDP PMD, and during
that process some libbpf issues surfaced [1]: When libbpf was built
as a shared library, libelf was not included in the linking phase.
Since libelf is an internal depedency to libbpf, libelf should be
included. This patch adds '-lelf' to resolve that.

<title>bpf, libbpf: fix version info and add it to shared object</title>

<id>1d382264d911d91a8be5dbed1f0e053eb3245d81</id>
<content type='text'>
Even though libbpf's versioning script for the linker (libbpf.map)
is pointing to 0.0.2, the BPF_EXTRAVERSION in the Makefile has
not been updated along with it and is therefore still on 0.0.1.

While fixing up, I also noticed that the generated shared object
versioning information is missing, typical convention is to have
a linker name (libbpf.so), soname (libbpf.so.0) and real name
(libbpf.so.0.0.2) for library management. This is based upon the
LIBBPF_VERSION as well.

The build will then produce the following bpf libraries:

  # ll libbpf*
  libbpf.a
  libbpf.so -&gt; libbpf.so.0.0.2
  libbpf.so.0 -&gt; libbpf.so.0.0.2
  libbpf.so.0.0.2

  # readelf -d libbpf.so.0.0.2 | grep SONAME
  0x000000000000000e (SONAME)             Library soname: [libbpf.so.0]

And install them accordingly:

  # rm -rf /tmp/bld; mkdir /tmp/bld; make -j$(nproc) O=/tmp/bld install

  ...                        libelf: [ on  ]

libbpf targets don't explicitly depend on fixdep target, so when
we do 'make -j$(nproc)', there is a high probability, that some
objects will be built before fixdep binary is available.

Fix this by running sub-make; this makes sure that fixdep dependency
is properly accounted for.

For the same issue in perf, see commit abb26210a395 ("perf tools: Force
fixdep compilation at the start of the build").

readelf truncates its output by default to attempt to make it more
readable.  This can lead to function names getting aliased if they

truncation.
