pull-request: bpf-next 2018-09-25

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

The main changes are:

1) Allow for RX stack hardening by implementing the kernel's flow
   dissector in BPF. Idea was originally presented at netconf 2017 [0].
   Quote from merge commit:

     [...] Because of the rigorous checks of the BPF verifier, this
     provides significant security guarantees. In particular, the BPF
     flow dissector cannot get inside of an infinite loop, as with
     CVE-2013-4348, because BPF programs are guaranteed to terminate.
     It cannot read outside of packet bounds, because all memory accesses
     are checked. Also, with BPF the administrator can decide which
     protocols to support, reducing potential attack surface. Rarely
     encountered protocols can be excluded from dissection and the
     program can be updated without kernel recompile or reboot if a
     bug is discovered. [...]

   Also, a sample flow dissector has been implemented in BPF as part
   of this work, from Petar and Willem.

   [0] http://vger.kernel.org/netconf2017_files/rx_hardening_and_udp_gso.pdf

2) Add support for bpftool to list currently active attachment
   points of BPF networking programs providing a quick overview
   similar to bpftool's perf subcommand, from Yonghong.

3) Fix a verifier pruning instability bug where a union member
   from the register state was not cleared properly leading to
   branches not being pruned despite them being valid candidates,
   from Alexei.

4) Various smaller fast-path optimizations in XDP's map redirect
   code, from Jesper.

5) Enable to recognize BPF_MAP_TYPE_REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY maps
   in bpftool, from Roman.

6) Remove a duplicate check in libbpf that probes for function
   storage, from Taeung.

7) Fix an issue in test_progs by avoid checking for errno since
   on success its value should not be checked, from Mauricio.

8) Fix unused variable warning in bpf_getsockopt() helper when
   CONFIG_INET is not configured, from Anders.

9) Fix a compilation failure in the BPF sample code's use of
   bpf_flow_keys, from Prashant.

10) Minor cleanups in BPF code, from Yue and Zhong.

<title>tcp: provide earliest departure time in skb-&gt;tstamp</title>

Switch internal TCP skb-&gt;skb_mstamp to skb-&gt;skb_mstamp_ns,
from usec units to nsec units.

Do not clear skb-&gt;tstamp before entering IP stacks in TX,
so that qdisc or devices can implement pacing based on the
earliest departure time instead of socket sk-&gt;sk_pacing_rate

Packets are fed with tcp_wstamp_ns, and following patch
will update tcp_wstamp_ns when both TCP and sch_fq switch to
the earliest departure time mechanism.

If boolean CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL is enabled, kernel/bpf/syscall.c will
call flow_dissector functions from net/core/flow_dissector.c.

This causes this build failure if CONFIG_NET is disabled:

    kernel/bpf/syscall.o: In function `__x64_sys_bpf':
    syscall.c:(.text+0x3278): undefined reference to
    `skb_flow_dissector_bpf_prog_attach'

    `flow_dissector_prog_ops'
    kernel/bpf/verifier.o:(.rodata+0x250): undefined reference to
    `flow_dissector_verifier_ops'

Analogous to other optional BPF program types in syscall.c, add stubs
if the relevant functions are not compiled and move the BPF_PROG_TYPE
definition in the #ifdef CONFIG_NET block.

It documents what is happening, and eliminates the spurious list
pointer poisoning.

In the long term, in order to get proper list head debugging, we
might want to use the list poison value as the indicator that
an SKB is a singleton and not on a list.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2018-08-13

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

The main changes are:

1) Add driver XDP support for veth. This can be used in conjunction with
   redirect of another XDP program e.g. sitting on NIC so the xdp_frame
   can be forwarded to the peer veth directly without modification,
   from Toshiaki.

2) Add a new BPF map type REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY and prog type SK_REUSEPORT
   in order to provide more control and visibility on where a SO_REUSEPORT
   sk should be located, and the latter enables to directly select a sk
   from the bpf map. This also enables map-in-map for application migration
   use cases, from Martin.

3) Add a new BPF helper bpf_skb_ancestor_cgroup_id() that returns the id
   of cgroup v2 that is the ancestor of the cgroup associated with the
   skb at the ancestor_level, from Andrey.

4) Implement BPF fs map pretty-print support based on BTF data for regular
   hash table and LRU map, from Yonghong.

5) Decouple the ability to attach BTF for a map from the key and value
   pretty-printer in BPF fs, and enable further support of BTF for maps for
   percpu and LPM trie, from Daniel.

6) Implement a better BPF sample of using XDP's CPU redirect feature for
   load balancing SKB processing to remote CPU. The sample implements the
   same XDP load balancing as Suricata does which is symmetric hash based
   on IP and L4 protocol, from Jesper.

7) Revert adding NULL pointer check with WARN_ON_ONCE() in __xdp_return()'s
   critical path as it is ensured that the allocator is present, from Björn.
