bpf: Assign bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx before recursion check.

2023-09-06T08:44:28+00:00

__bpf_prog_enter_recur() assigns bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx before
performing the recursion check which means in case of a recursion
__bpf_prog_exit_recur() uses the previously set bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx
value.

__bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() assigns bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx
after the recursion check which means in case of a recursion
__bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur() uses an uninitialized value. This does not
look right. If I read the entry trampoline code right, then bpf_tramp_run_ctx
isn't initialized upfront.

Align __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() with __bpf_prog_enter_recur() and
set bpf_tramp_run_ctx::saved_run_ctx before the recursion check is made.
Remove the assignment of saved_run_ctx in kern_sys_bpf() since it happens
a few cycles later.

bpf: Invoke __bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur() on recursion in kern_sys_bpf().

2023-09-06T08:39:31+00:00

If __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable_recur() detects recursion then it returns
0 without undoing rcu_read_lock_trace(), migrate_disable() or
decrementing the recursion counter. This is fine in the JIT case because
the JIT code will jump in the 0 case to the end and invoke the matching
exit trampoline (__bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur()).

This is not the case in kern_sys_bpf() which returns directly to the
caller with an error code.

Add __bpf_prog_exit_sleepable_recur() as clean up in the recursion case.

bpf: Remove a WARN_ON_ONCE warning related to local kptr

2023-08-24T15:15:16+00:00

Currently, in function bpf_obj_free_fields(), for local kptr,
a warning will be issued if the struct does not contain any
special fields. But actually the kernel seems totally okay
with a local kptr without any special fields. Permitting
no special fields also aligns with future percpu kptr which
also allows no special fields.

bpf: Add pid filter support for uprobe_multi link

2023-08-21T22:51:25+00:00

Adding support to specify pid for uprobe_multi link and the uprobes
are created only for task with given pid value.

Using the consumer.filter filter callback for that, so the task gets
filtered during the uprobe installation.

We still need to check the task during runtime in the uprobe handler,
because the handler could get executed if there's another system
wide consumer on the same uprobe (thanks Oleg for the insight).

bpf: Add cookies support for uprobe_multi link

2023-08-21T22:51:25+00:00

Adding support to specify cookies array for uprobe_multi link.

The cookies array share indexes and length with other uprobe_multi
arrays (offsets/ref_ctr_offsets).

The cookies[i] value defines cookie for i-the uprobe and will be
returned by bpf_get_attach_cookie helper when called from ebpf
program hooked to that specific uprobe.

bpf: Add multi uprobe link

2023-08-21T22:51:25+00:00

Adding new multi uprobe link that allows to attach bpf program
to multiple uprobes.

Uprobes to attach are specified via new link_create uprobe_multi
union:

  struct {
    __aligned_u64   path;
    __aligned_u64   offsets;
    __aligned_u64   ref_ctr_offsets;
    __u32           cnt;
    __u32           flags;
  } uprobe_multi;

Uprobes are defined for single binary specified in path and multiple
calling sites specified in offsets array with optional reference
counters specified in ref_ctr_offsets array. All specified arrays
have length of 'cnt'.

The 'flags' supports single bit for now that marks the uprobe as
return probe.

bpf: Add fd-based tcx multi-prog infra with link support

2023-07-19T17:07:27+00:00

This work refactors and adds a lightweight extension ("tcx") to the tc BPF
ingress and egress data path side for allowing BPF program management based
on fds via bpf() syscall through the newly added generic multi-prog API.
The main goal behind this work which we also presented at LPC [0] last year
and a recent update at LSF/MM/BPF this year [3] is to support long-awaited
BPF link functionality for tc BPF programs, which allows for a model of safe
ownership and program detachment.

Given the rise in tc BPF users in cloud native environments, this becomes
necessary to avoid hard to debug incidents either through stale leftover
programs or 3rd party applications accidentally stepping on each others toes.
As a recap, a BPF link represents the attachment of a BPF program to a BPF
hook point. The BPF link holds a single reference to keep BPF program alive.
Moreover, hook points do not reference a BPF link, only the application's
fd or pinning does. A BPF link holds meta-data specific to attachment and
implements operations for link creation, (atomic) BPF program update,
detachment and introspection. The motivation for BPF links for tc BPF programs
is multi-fold, for example:

- From Meta: "It's especially important for applications that are deployed
fleet-wide and that don't "control" hosts they are deployed to. If such
application crashes and no one notices and does anything about that, BPF
program will keep running draining resources or even just, say, dropping
packets. We at FB had outages due to such permanent BPF attachment
semantics. With fd-based BPF link we are getting a framework, which allows
safe, auto-detachable behavior by default, unless application explicitly
opts in by pinning the BPF link." [1]

- From Cilium-side the tc BPF programs we attach to host-facing veth devices
and phys devices build the core datapath for Kubernetes Pods, and they
implement forwarding, load-balancing, policy, EDT-management, etc, within
BPF. Currently there is no concept of 'safe' ownership, e.g. we've recently
experienced hard-to-debug issues in a user's staging environment where
another Kubernetes application using tc BPF attached to the same prio/handle
of cls_bpf, accidentally wiping all Cilium-based BPF programs from underneath
it. The goal is to establish a clear/safe ownership model via links which
cannot accidentally be overridden. [0,2]

BPF links for tc can co-exist with non-link attachments, and the semantics are
in line also with XDP links: BPF links cannot replace other BPF links, BPF
links cannot replace non-BPF links, non-BPF links cannot replace BPF links and
lastly only non-BPF links can replace non-BPF links. In case of Cilium, this
would solve mentioned issue of safe ownership model as 3rd party applications
would not be able to accidentally wipe Cilium programs, even if they are not
BPF link aware.

Earlier attempts [4] have tried to integrate BPF links into core tc machinery
to solve cls_bpf, which has been intrusive to the generic tc kernel API with
extensions only specific to cls_bpf and suboptimal/complex since cls_bpf could
be wiped from the qdisc also. Locking a tc BPF program in place this way, is
getting into layering hacks given the two object models are vastly different.

We instead implemented the tcx (tc 'express') layer which is an fd-based tc BPF
attach API, so that the BPF link implementation blends in naturally similar to
other link types which are fd-based and without the need for changing core tc
internal APIs. BPF programs for tc can then be successively migrated from classic
cls_bpf to the new tc BPF link without needing to change the program's source
code, just the BPF loader mechanics for attaching is sufficient.

For the current tc framework, there is no change in behavior with this change
and neither does this change touch on tc core kernel APIs. The gist of this
patch is that the ingress and egress hook have a lightweight, qdisc-less
extension for BPF to attach its tc BPF programs, in other words, a minimal
entry point for tc BPF. The name tcx has been suggested from discussion of
earlier revisions of this work as a good fit, and to more easily differ between
the classic cls_bpf attachment and the fd-based one.

For the ingress and egress tcx points, the device holds a cache-friendly array
with program pointers which is separated from control plane (slow-path) data.
Earlier versions of this work used priority to determine ordering and expression
of dependencies similar as with classic tc, but it was challenged that for
something more future-proof a better user experience is required. Hence this
resulted in the design and development of the generic attach/detach/query API
for multi-progs. See prior patch with its discussion on the API design. tcx is
the first user and later we plan to integrate also others, for example, one
candidate is multi-prog support for XDP which would benefit and have the same
'look and feel' from API perspective.

The goal with tcx is to have maximum compatibility to existing tc BPF programs,
so they don't need to be rewritten specifically. Compatibility to call into
classic tcf_classify() is also provided in order to allow successive migration
or both to cleanly co-exist where needed given its all one logical tc layer and
the tcx plus classic tc cls/act build one logical overall processing pipeline.

tcx supports the simplified return codes TCX_NEXT which is non-terminating (go
to next program) and terminating ones with TCX_PASS, TCX_DROP, TCX_REDIRECT.
The fd-based API is behind a static key, so that when unused the code is also
not entered. The struct tcx_entry's program array is currently static, but
could be made dynamic if necessary at a point in future. The a/b pair swap
design has been chosen so that for detachment there are no allocations which
otherwise could fail.

The work has been tested with tc-testing selftest suite which all passes, as
well as the tc BPF tests from the BPF CI, and also with Cilium's L4LB.

Thanks also to Nikolay Aleksandrov and Martin Lau for in-depth early reviews
of this work.

bpf: Support ->fill_link_info for perf_event

2023-07-12T03:07:51+00:00

By introducing support for ->fill_link_info to the perf_event link, users
gain the ability to inspect it using `bpftool link show`. While the current
approach involves accessing this information via `bpftool perf show`,
consolidating link information for all link types in one place offers
greater convenience. Additionally, this patch extends support to the
generic perf event, which is not currently accommodated by
`bpftool perf show`. While only the perf type and config are exposed to
userspace, other attributes such as sample_period and sample_freq are
ignored. It's important to note that if kptr_restrict is not permitted, the
probed address will not be exposed, maintaining security measures.

A new enum bpf_perf_event_type is introduced to help the user understand
which struct is relevant.
