We've added 73 non-merge commits during the last 9 day(s) which contain
a total of 135 files changed, 4603 insertions(+), 1013 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Implement bpf_link support for XDP. Also add LINK_DETACH operation for the BPF
   syscall allowing processes with BPF link FD to force-detach, from Andrii Nakryiko.

2) Add BPF iterator for map elements and to iterate all BPF programs for efficient
   in-kernel inspection, from Yonghong Song and Alexei Starovoitov.

3) Separate bpf_get_{stack,stackid}() helpers for perf events in BPF to avoid
   unwinder errors, from Song Liu.

4) Allow cgroup local storage map to be shared between programs on the same
   cgroup. Also extend BPF selftests with coverage, from YiFei Zhu.

5) Add BPF exception tables to ARM64 JIT in order to be able to JIT BPF_PROBE_MEM
   load instructions, from Jean-Philippe Brucker.

6) Follow-up fixes on BPF socket lookup in combination with reuseport group
   handling. Also add related BPF selftests, from Jakub Sitnicki.

7) Allow to use socket storage in BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK-typed programs for
   socket create/release as well as bind functions, from Stanislav Fomichev.

8) Fix an info leak in xsk_getsockopt() when retrieving XDP stats via old struct
   xdp_statistics, from Peilin Ye.

9) Fix PT_REGS_RC{,_CORE}() macros in libbpf for MIPS arch, from Jerry Crunchtime.

10) Extend BPF kernel test infra with skb-&gt;family and skb-&gt;{local,remote}_ip{4,6}
    fields and allow user space to specify skb-&gt;dev via ifindex, from Dmitry Yakunin.

Fix HASH_OF_MAPS bug of not putting inner map pointer on bpf_map_elem_update()
operation. This is due to per-cpu extra_elems optimization, which bypassed
free_htab_elem() logic doing proper clean ups. Make sure that inner map is put
properly in optimized case as well.

The bpf iterators for hash, percpu hash, lru hash
and lru percpu hash are implemented. During link time,
bpf_iter_reg-&gt;check_target() will check map type
and ensure the program access key/value region is
within the map defined key/value size limit.

For percpu hash and lru hash maps, the bpf program
will receive values for all cpus. The map element
bpf iterator infrastructure will prepare value
properly before passing the value pointer to the
bpf program.

This patch set supports readonly map keys and
read/write map values. It does not support deleting
map elements, e.g., from hash tables. If there is
a user case for this, the following mechanism can
be used to support map deletion for hashtab, etc.
  - permit a new bpf program return value, e.g., 2,
    to let bpf iterator know the map element should
    be removed.
  - since bucket lock is taken, the map element will be
    queued.
  - once bucket lock is released after all elements under
    this bucket are traversed, all to-be-deleted map
    elements can be deleted.

bpf_free_used_maps() or close(map_fd) will trigger map_free callback.
bpf_free_used_maps() is called after bpf prog is no longer executing:
bpf_prog_put-&gt;call_rcu-&gt;bpf_prog_free-&gt;bpf_free_used_maps.
Hence there is no need to call synchronize_rcu() to protect map elements.

Note that hash_of_maps and array_of_maps update/delete inner maps via
sys_bpf() that calls maybe_wait_bpf_programs() and synchronize_rcu().

<title>bpf: Support access to bpf map fields</title>

<id>41c48f3a98231738c5ce79f6f2aa6e40ba924d18</id>
<content type='text'>
There are multiple use-cases when it's convenient to have access to bpf
map fields, both `struct bpf_map` and map type specific struct-s such as
`struct bpf_array`, `struct bpf_htab`, etc.

For example while working with sock arrays it can be necessary to
calculate the key based on map-&gt;max_entries (some_hash % max_entries).
Currently this is solved by communicating max_entries via "out-of-band"
channel, e.g. via additional map with known key to get info about target
map. That works, but is not very convenient and error-prone while
working with many maps.

In other cases necessary data is dynamic (i.e. unknown at loading time)
and it's impossible to get it at all. For example while working with a
hash table it can be convenient to know how much capacity is already
used (bpf_htab.count.counter for BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC case).

At the same time kernel knows this info and can provide it to bpf
program.

Fill this gap by adding support to access bpf map fields from bpf
program for both `struct bpf_map` and map type specific fields.

Support is implemented via btf_struct_access() so that a user can define
their own `struct bpf_map` or map type specific struct in their program
with only necessary fields and preserve_access_index attribute, cast a
map to this struct and use a field.

For example:

	struct bpf_map {
		__u32 max_entries;
	} __attribute__((preserve_access_index));

	struct bpf_array {
		struct bpf_map map;
		__u32 elem_size;
	} __attribute__((preserve_access_index));

	struct {
		__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY);
		__uint(max_entries, 4);
		__type(key, __u32);
		__type(value, __u32);
	} m_array SEC(".maps");

	SEC("cgroup_skb/egress")
	int cg_skb(void *ctx)
	{
		struct bpf_array *array = (struct bpf_array *)&amp;m_array;
		struct bpf_map *map = (struct bpf_map *)&amp;m_array;

		/* .. use map-&gt;max_entries or array-&gt;map.max_entries .. */
	}

Similarly to other btf_struct_access() use-cases (e.g. struct tcp_sock
in net/ipv4/bpf_tcp_ca.c) the patch allows access to any fields of
corresponding struct. Only reading from map fields is supported.

For btf_struct_access() to work there should be a way to know btf id of
a struct that corresponds to a map type. To get btf id there should be a
way to get a stringified name of map-specific struct, such as
"bpf_array", "bpf_htab", etc for a map type. Two new fields are added to
`struct bpf_map_ops` to handle it:
* .map_btf_name keeps a btf name of a struct returned by map_alloc();
* .map_btf_id is used to cache btf id of that struct.

To make btf ids calculation cheaper they're calculated once while
preparing btf_vmlinux and cached same way as it's done for btf_id field
of `struct bpf_func_proto`

While calculating btf ids, struct names are NOT checked for collision.
Collisions will be checked as a part of the work to prepare btf ids used
in verifier in compile time that should land soon. The only known
collision for `struct bpf_htab` (kernel/bpf/hashtab.c vs
net/core/sock_map.c) was fixed earlier.

Both new fields .map_btf_name and .map_btf_id must be set for a map type
for the feature to work. If neither is set for a map type, verifier will
return ENOTSUPP on a try to access map_ptr of corresponding type. If
just one of them set, it's verifier misconfiguration.

Only `struct bpf_array` for BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY and `struct bpf_htab` for
BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH are supported by this patch. Other map types will be
supported separately.

The feature is available only for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y and gated by
perfmon_capable() so that unpriv programs won't have access to bpf map
fields.

for the feature to work. If neither is set for a map type, verifier will
return ENOTSUPP on a try to access map_ptr of corresponding type. If
just one of them set, it's verifier misconfiguration.

Only `struct bpf_array` for BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY and `struct bpf_htab` for
BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH are supported by this patch. Other map types will be
supported separately.

The feature is available only for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y and gated by
perfmon_capable() so that unpriv programs won't have access to bpf map
fields.

<title>bpf: Implement CAP_BPF</title>

Implement permissions as stated in uapi/linux/capability.h
In order to do that the verifier allow_ptr_leaks flag is split
into four flags and they are set as:
  env-&gt;allow_ptr_leaks = bpf_allow_ptr_leaks();
  env-&gt;bypass_spec_v1 = bpf_bypass_spec_v1();
  env-&gt;bypass_spec_v4 = bpf_bypass_spec_v4();
  env-&gt;bpf_capable = bpf_capable();

The first three currently equivalent to perfmon_capable(), since leaking kernel
pointers and reading kernel memory via side channel attacks is roughly
equivalent to reading kernel memory with cap_perfmon.

'bpf_capable' enables bounded loops, precision tracking, bpf to bpf calls and
other verifier features. 'allow_ptr_leaks' enable ptr leaks, ptr conversions,
subtraction of pointers. 'bypass_spec_v1' disables speculative analysis in the
verifier, run time mitigations in bpf array, and enables indirect variable
access in bpf programs. 'bypass_spec_v4' disables emission of sanitation code
by the verifier.

That means that the networking BPF program loaded with CAP_BPF + CAP_NET_ADMIN
will have speculative checks done by the verifier and other spectre mitigation
applied. Such networking BPF program will not be able to leak kernel pointers
and will not be able to access arbitrary kernel memory.

<title>bpf: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member</title>

<content type='text'>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

<title>bpf: Prepare hashtab locking for PREEMPT_RT</title>

<id>7f805d17f1523c7b2c0da319ddb427d6c5d94ff1</id>
<content type='text'>
PREEMPT_RT forbids certain operations like memory allocations (even with
GFP_ATOMIC) from atomic contexts. This is required because even with
GFP_ATOMIC the memory allocator calls into code pathes which acquire locks
with long held lock sections. To ensure the deterministic behaviour these
locks are regular spinlocks, which are converted to 'sleepable' spinlocks
on RT. The only true atomic contexts on an RT kernel are the low level
hardware handling, scheduling, low level interrupt handling, NMIs etc. None
of these contexts should ever do memory allocations.

As regular device interrupt handlers and soft interrupts are forced into
thread context, the existing code which does
  spin_lock*(); alloc(GPF_ATOMIC); spin_unlock*();
just works.

In theory the BPF locks could be converted to regular spinlocks as well,
but the bucket locks and percpu_freelist locks can be taken from arbitrary
contexts (perf, kprobes, tracepoints) which are required to be atomic
contexts even on RT. These mechanisms require preallocated maps, so there
is no need to invoke memory allocations within the lock held sections.

BPF maps which need dynamic allocation are only used from (forced) thread
context on RT and can therefore use regular spinlocks which in turn allows
to invoke memory allocations from the lock held section.

To achieve this make the hash bucket lock a union of a raw and a regular
spinlock and initialize and lock/unlock either the raw spinlock for
preallocated maps or the regular variant for maps which require memory
allocations.

On a non RT kernel this distinction is neither possible nor required.
spinlock maps to raw_spinlock and the extra code and conditional is
optimized out by the compiler. No functional change.
