bpf: Fix syscall's stackmap lookup potential deadlock

2019-01-31T22:18:21+00:00

The map_lookup_elem used to not acquiring spinlock
in order to optimize the reader.

It was true until commit 557c0c6e7df8 ("bpf: convert stackmap to pre-allocation")
The syscall's map_lookup_elem(stackmap) calls bpf_stackmap_copy().
bpf_stackmap_copy() may find the elem no longer needed after the copy is done.
If that is the case, pcpu_freelist_push() saves this elem for reuse later.
This push requires a spinlock.

If a tracing bpf_prog got run in the middle of the syscall's
map_lookup_elem(stackmap) and this tracing bpf_prog is calling
bpf_get_stackid(stackmap) which also requires the same pcpu_freelist's
spinlock, it may end up with a dead lock situation as reported by
Eric Dumazet in https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1030266/

The situation is the same as the syscall's map_update_elem() which
needs to acquire the pcpu_freelist's spinlock and could race
with tracing bpf_prog.  Hence, this patch fixes it by protecting
bpf_stackmap_copy() with this_cpu_inc(bpf_prog_active)
to prevent tracing bpf_prog from running.

A later syscall's map_lookup_elem commit f1a2e44a3aec ("bpf: add queue and stack maps")
also acquires a spinlock and races with tracing bpf_prog similarly.
Hence, this patch is forward looking and protects the majority
of the map lookups.  bpf_map_offload_lookup_elem() is the exception
since it is for network bpf_prog only (i.e. never called by tracing
bpf_prog).

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

2019-01-04T02:57:57+00:00

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

bpf: support raw tracepoints in modules

2018-12-18T22:08:12+00:00

Distributions build drivers as modules, including network and filesystem
drivers which export numerous tracepoints.  This enables
bpf(BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN) to attach to those tracepoints.

bpf: remove useless version check for prog load

2018-12-17T21:41:35+00:00

Existing libraries and tracing frameworks work around this kernel
version check by automatically deriving the kernel version from
uname(3) or similar such that the user does not need to do it
manually; these workarounds also make the version check useless
at the same time.

Moreover, most other BPF tracing types enabling bpf_probe_read()-like
functionality have /not/ adapted this check, and in general these
days it is well understood anyway that all the tracing programs are
not stable with regards to future kernels as kernel internal data
structures are subject to change from release to release.

Back at last netconf we discussed [0] and agreed to remove this
check from bpf_prog_load() and instead document it here in the uapi
header that there is no such guarantee for stable API for these
programs.

bpf: include sub program tags in bpf_prog_info

2018-12-13T11:22:28+00:00

Changes v2 -> v3:
1. remove check for bpf_dump_raw_ok().

Changes v1 -> v2:
1. Fix error path as Martin suggested.

This patch adds nr_prog_tags and prog_tags to bpf_prog_info. This is a
reliable way for user space to get tags of all sub programs. Before this
patch, user space need to find sub program tags via kallsyms.

This feature will be used in BPF introspection, where user space queries
information about BPF programs via sys_bpf.

bpf: Remove bpf_dump_raw_ok() check for func_info and line_info

2018-12-13T11:16:30+00:00

The func_info and line_info have the bpf insn offset but
they do not contain kernel address.  They will still be useful
for the userspace tool to annotate the xlated insn.

This patch removes the bpf_dump_raw_ok() guard for the
func_info and line_info during bpf_prog_get_info_by_fd().

The guard stays for jited_line_info which contains the kernel
address.

Although this bpf_dump_raw_ok() guard behavior has started since
the earlier func_info patch series, I marked the Fixes tag to the
latest line_info patch series which contains both func_info and
line_info and this patch is fixing for both of them.

bpf: pass struct btf pointer to the map_check_btf() callback

2018-12-12T23:33:33+00:00

If key_type or value_type are of non-trivial data types
(e.g. structure or typedef), it's not possible to check them without
the additional information, which can't be obtained without a pointer
to the btf structure.

So, let's pass btf pointer to the map_check_btf() callbacks.

bpf: rename _info_cnt to nr__info in bpf_prog_info

2018-12-10T22:51:45+00:00

In uapi bpf.h, currently we have the following fields in
the struct bpf_prog_info:
	__u32 func_info_cnt;
	__u32 line_info_cnt;
	__u32 jited_line_info_cnt;
The above field names "func_info_cnt" and "line_info_cnt"
also appear in union bpf_attr for program loading.

The original intention is to keep the names the same
between bpf_prog_info and bpf_attr
so it will imply what we returned to user space will be
the same as what the user space passed to the kernel.

Such a naming convention in bpf_prog_info is not consistent
with other fields like:
        __u32 nr_jited_ksyms;
        __u32 nr_jited_func_lens;

This patch made this adjustment so in bpf_prog_info
newly introduced *_info_cnt becomes nr_*_info.
