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.

On some architectures like ARM64, PMD_SIZE can be really large in some
configurations. Like with CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES=y the PMD_SIZE is
512MB.

Use 2MB * num_possible_nodes() as the size for allocations done through
the prog pack allocator. On most architectures, PMD_SIZE will be equal
to 2MB in case of 4KB pages and will be greater than 2MB for bigger page
sizes.

LLVM generates bpf_addr_space_cast instruction while translating
pointers between native (zero) address space and
__attribute__((address_space(N))).
The addr_space=1 is reserved as bpf_arena address space.

rY = addr_space_cast(rX, 0, 1) is processed by the verifier and
converted to normal 32-bit move: wX = wY

rY = addr_space_cast(rX, 1, 0) has to be converted by JIT:

aux_reg = upper_32_bits of arena-&gt;user_vm_start
aux_reg &lt;&lt;= 32
wX = wY // clear upper 32 bits of dst register
if (wX) // if not zero add upper bits of user_vm_start
  wX |= aux_reg

JIT can do it more efficiently:

mov dst_reg32, src_reg32  // 32-bit move
shl dst_reg, 32
or dst_reg, user_vm_start
rol dst_reg, 32
xor r11, r11
test dst_reg32, dst_reg32 // check if lower 32-bit are zero
cmove r11, dst_reg	  // if so, set dst_reg to zero
			  // Intel swapped src/dst register encoding in CMOVcc

<title>bpf: Introduce bpf_arena.</title>

<content type='text'>
Introduce bpf_arena, which is a sparse shared memory region between the bpf
program and user space.

Use cases:
1. User space mmap-s bpf_arena and uses it as a traditional mmap-ed
   anonymous region, like memcached or any key/value storage. The bpf
   program implements an in-kernel accelerator. XDP prog can search for
   a key in bpf_arena and return a value without going to user space.
2. The bpf program builds arbitrary data structures in bpf_arena (hash
   tables, rb-trees, sparse arrays), while user space consumes it.
3. bpf_arena is a "heap" of memory from the bpf program's point of view.
   The user space may mmap it, but bpf program will not convert pointers
   to user base at run-time to improve bpf program speed.

Initially, the kernel vm_area and user vma are not populated. User space
can fault in pages within the range. While servicing a page fault,
bpf_arena logic will insert a new page into the kernel and user vmas. The
bpf program can allocate pages from that region via
bpf_arena_alloc_pages(). This kernel function will insert pages into the
kernel vm_area. The subsequent fault-in from user space will populate that
page into the user vma. The BPF_F_SEGV_ON_FAULT flag at arena creation time
can be used to prevent fault-in from user space. In such a case, if a page
is not allocated by the bpf program and not present in the kernel vm_area,
the user process will segfault. This is useful for use cases 2 and 3 above.

bpf_arena_alloc_pages() is similar to user space mmap(). It allocates pages
either at a specific address within the arena or allocates a range with the
maple tree. bpf_arena_free_pages() is analogous to munmap(), which frees
pages and removes the range from the kernel vm_area and from user process
vmas.

bpf_arena can be used as a bpf program "heap" of up to 4GB. The speed of
bpf program is more important than ease of sharing with user space. This is
use case 3. In such a case, the BPF_F_NO_USER_CONV flag is recommended.
It will tell the verifier to treat the rX = bpf_arena_cast_user(rY)
instruction as a 32-bit move wX = wY, which will improve bpf prog
performance. Otherwise, bpf_arena_cast_user is translated by JIT to
conditionally add the upper 32 bits of user vm_start (if the pointer is not
NULL) to arena pointers before they are stored into memory. This way, user
space sees them as valid 64-bit pointers.

Diff https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/84410 enables LLVM BPF
backend generate the bpf_addr_space_cast() instruction to cast pointers
between address_space(1) which is reserved for bpf_arena pointers and
default address space zero. All arena pointers in a bpf program written in
C language are tagged as __attribute__((address_space(1))). Hence, clang
provides helpful diagnostics when pointers cross address space. Libbpf and
the kernel support only address_space == 1. All other address space
identifiers are reserved.

rX = bpf_addr_space_cast(rY, /* dst_as */ 1, /* src_as */ 0) tells the
verifier that rX-&gt;type = PTR_TO_ARENA. Any further operations on
PTR_TO_ARENA register have to be in the 32-bit domain. The verifier will
mark load/store through PTR_TO_ARENA with PROBE_MEM32. JIT will generate
them as kern_vm_start + 32bit_addr memory accesses. The behavior is similar
to copy_from_kernel_nofault() except that no address checks are necessary.
The address is guaranteed to be in the 4GB range. If the page is not
present, the destination register is zeroed on read, and the operation is
ignored on write.

rX = bpf_addr_space_cast(rY, 0, 1) tells the verifier that rX-&gt;type =
unknown scalar. If arena-&gt;map_flags has BPF_F_NO_USER_CONV set, then the
verifier converts such cast instructions to mov32. Otherwise, JIT will emit
native code equivalent to:
rX = (u32)rY;
if (rY)
  rX |= clear_lo32_bits(arena-&gt;user_vm_start); /* replace hi32 bits in rX */

After such conversion, the pointer becomes a valid user pointer within
bpf_arena range. The user process can access data structures created in
bpf_arena without any additional computations. For example, a linked list
built by a bpf program can be walked natively by user space.

<title>bpf: Introduce may_goto instruction</title>

<content type='text'>
Introduce may_goto instruction that from the verifier pov is similar to
open coded iterators bpf_for()/bpf_repeat() and bpf_loop() helper, but it
doesn't iterate any objects.
In assembly 'may_goto' is a nop most of the time until bpf runtime has to
terminate the program for whatever reason. In the current implementation
may_goto has a hidden counter, but other mechanisms can be used.
For programs written in C the later patch introduces 'cond_break' macro
that combines 'may_goto' with 'break' statement and has similar semantics:
cond_break is a nop until bpf runtime has to break out of this loop.
It can be used in any normal "for" or "while" loop, like

  for (i = zero; i &lt; cnt; cond_break, i++) {

The verifier recognizes that may_goto is used in the program, reserves
additional 8 bytes of stack, initializes them in subprog prologue, and
replaces may_goto instruction with:
aux_reg = *(u64 *)(fp - 40)
if aux_reg == 0 goto pc+off
aux_reg -= 1
*(u64 *)(fp - 40) = aux_reg

may_goto instruction can be used by LLVM to implement __builtin_memcpy,
__builtin_strcmp.

may_goto is not a full substitute for bpf_for() macro.
bpf_for() doesn't have induction variable that verifiers sees,
so 'i' in bpf_for(i, 0, 100) is seen as imprecise and bounded.

But when the code is written as:
for (i = 0; i &lt; 100; cond_break, i++)
the verifier see 'i' as precise constant zero,
hence cond_break (aka may_goto) doesn't help to converge the loop.
A static or global variable can be used as a workaround:
static int zero = 0;
for (i = zero; i &lt; 100; cond_break, i++) // works!

may_goto works well with arena pointers that don't need to be bounds
checked on access. Load/store from arena returns imprecise unbounded
scalar and loops with may_goto pass the verifier.

Reserve new opcode BPF_JMP | BPF_JCOND for may_goto insn.
JCOND stands for conditional pseudo jump.
Since goto_or_nop insn was proposed, it may use the same opcode.
may_goto vs goto_or_nop can be distinguished by src_reg:
code = BPF_JMP | BPF_JCOND
src_reg = 0 - may_goto
src_reg = 1 - goto_or_nop

additional 8 bytes of stack, initializes them in subprog prologue, and
replaces may_goto instruction with:
aux_reg = *(u64 *)(fp - 40)
if aux_reg == 0 goto pc+off
aux_reg -= 1
*(u64 *)(fp - 40) = aux_reg

may_goto instruction can be used by LLVM to implement __builtin_memcpy,
__builtin_strcmp.

may_goto is not a full substitute for bpf_for() macro.
bpf_for() doesn't have induction variable that verifiers sees,
so 'i' in bpf_for(i, 0, 100) is seen as imprecise and bounded.

But when the code is written as:
for (i = 0; i &lt; 100; cond_break, i++)
the verifier see 'i' as precise constant zero,
hence cond_break (aka may_goto) doesn't help to converge the loop.
A static or global variable can be used as a workaround:
static int zero = 0;
for (i = zero; i &lt; 100; cond_break, i++) // works!

may_goto works well with arena pointers that don't need to be bounds
checked on access. Load/store from arena returns imprecise unbounded
scalar and loops with may_goto pass the verifier.

Reserve new opcode BPF_JMP | BPF_JCOND for may_goto insn.
JCOND stands for conditional pseudo jump.
Since goto_or_nop insn was proposed, it may use the same opcode.
may_goto vs goto_or_nop can be distinguished by src_reg:
code = BPF_JMP | BPF_JCOND
src_reg = 0 - may_goto
src_reg = 1 - goto_or_nop

Add basic support of BPF token to BPF_PROG_LOAD. BPF_F_TOKEN_FD flag
should be set in prog_flags field when providing prog_token_fd.

Wire through a set of allowed BPF program types and attach types,
derived from BPF FS at BPF token creation time. Then make sure we
perform bpf_token_capable() checks everywhere where it's relevant.

<title>bpf: Support inlining bpf_kptr_xchg() helper</title>

<id>7c05e7f3e74e7e550534d524e04d7e6f78d6fa24</id>
<content type='text'>
The motivation of inlining bpf_kptr_xchg() comes from the performance
profiling of bpf memory allocator benchmark. The benchmark uses
bpf_kptr_xchg() to stash the allocated objects and to pop the stashed
objects for free. After inling bpf_kptr_xchg(), the performance for
object free on 8-CPUs VM increases about 2%~10%. The inline also has
downside: both the kasan and kcsan checks on the pointer will be
unavailable.

bpf_kptr_xchg() can be inlined by converting the calling of
bpf_kptr_xchg() into an atomic_xchg() instruction. But the conversion
depends on two conditions:
1) JIT backend supports atomic_xchg() on pointer-sized word
2) For the specific arch, the implementation of xchg is the same as
   atomic_xchg() on pointer-sized words.

It seems most 64-bit JIT backends satisfies these two conditions. But
as a precaution, defining a weak function bpf_jit_supports_ptr_xchg()
to state whether such conversion is safe and only supporting inline for
64-bit host.

For x86-64, it supports BPF_XCHG atomic operation and both xchg() and
atomic_xchg() use arch_xchg() to implement the exchange, so enabling the
inline of bpf_kptr_xchg() on x86-64 first.
