Commit 31fd85816dbe ("bpf: permits narrower load from bpf program
context fields") made the verifier add AND instructions to clear the
unwanted bits with a mask when doing a narrow load. The mask is
computed with

  (1 &lt;&lt; size * 8) - 1

where "size" is the size of the narrow load. When doing a 4 byte load
of a an 8 byte field the verifier shifts the literal 1 by 32 places to
the left. This results in an overflow of a signed integer, which is an
undefined behavior. Typically, the computed mask was zero, so the
result of the narrow load ended up being zero too.

Cast the literal to long long to avoid overflows. Note that narrow
load of the 4 byte fields does not have the undefined behavior,
because the load size can only be either 1 or 2 bytes, so shifting 1
by 8 or 16 places will not overflow it. And reading 4 bytes would not
be a narrow load of a 4 bytes field.

Fixes: 31fd85816dbe ("bpf: permits narrower load from bpf program context fields")

<title>bpf: Introduce bpf sk local storage</title>

After allowing a bpf prog to
- directly read the skb-&gt;sk ptr
- get the fullsock bpf_sock by "bpf_sk_fullsock()"
- get the bpf_tcp_sock by "bpf_tcp_sock()"
- get the listener sock by "bpf_get_listener_sock()"
- avoid duplicating the fields of "(bpf_)sock" and "(bpf_)tcp_sock"
  into different bpf running context.

this patch is another effort to make bpf's network programming
more intuitive to do (together with memory and performance benefit).

When bpf prog needs to store data for a sk, the current practice is to
define a map with the usual 4-tuples (src/dst ip/port) as the key.
If multiple bpf progs require to store different sk data, multiple maps
have to be defined.  Hence, wasting memory to store the duplicated
keys (i.e. 4 tuples here) in each of the bpf map.
[ The smallest key could be the sk pointer itself which requires
  some enhancement in the verifier and it is a separate topic. ]

Also, the bpf prog needs to clean up the elem when sk is freed.
Otherwise, the bpf map will become full and un-usable quickly.
The sk-free tracking currently could be done during sk state
transition (e.g. BPF_SOCK_OPS_STATE_CB).

The size of the map needs to be predefined which then usually ended-up
with an over-provisioned map in production.  Even the map was re-sizable,
while the sk naturally come and go away already, this potential re-size
operation is arguably redundant if the data can be directly connected
to the sk itself instead of proxy-ing through a bpf map.

This patch introduces sk-&gt;sk_bpf_storage to provide local storage space
at sk for bpf prog to use.  The space will be allocated when the first bpf
prog has created data for this particular sk.

The design optimizes the bpf prog's lookup (and then optionally followed by
an inline update).  bpf_spin_lock should be used if the inline update needs
to be protected.

BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE:
-----------------------
To define a bpf "sk-local-storage", a BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE map (new in
this patch) needs to be created.  Multiple BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE maps can
be created to fit different bpf progs' needs.  The map enforces
BTF to allow printing the sk-local-storage during a system-wise
sk dump (e.g. "ss -ta") in the future.

The purpose of a BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE map is not for lookup/update/delete
a "sk-local-storage" data from a particular sk.
Think of the map as a meta-data (or "type") of a "sk-local-storage".  This
particular "type" of "sk-local-storage" data can then be stored in any sk.

The main purposes of this map are mostly:
1. Define the size of a "sk-local-storage" type.
2. Provide a similar syscall userspace API as the map (e.g. lookup/update,
   map-id, map-btf...etc.)
3. Keep track of all sk's storages of this "type" and clean them up
   when the map is freed.

sk-&gt;sk_bpf_storage:
------------------
The main lookup/update/delete is done on sk-&gt;sk_bpf_storage (which
is a "struct bpf_sk_storage").  When doing a lookup,
the "map" pointer is now used as the "key" to search on the
sk_storage-&gt;list.  The "map" pointer is actually serving
as the "type" of the "sk-local-storage" that is being
requested.

To allow very fast lookup, it should be as fast as looking up an
array at a stable-offset.  At the same time, it is not ideal to
set a hard limit on the number of sk-local-storage "type" that the
system can have.  Hence, this patch takes a cache approach.
The last search result from sk_storage-&gt;list is cached in
sk_storage-&gt;cache[] which is a stable sized array.  Each
"sk-local-storage" type has a stable offset to the cache[] array.
In the future, a map's flag could be introduced to do cache
opt-out/enforcement if it became necessary.

The cache size is 16 (i.e. 16 types of "sk-local-storage").
Programs can share map.  On the program side, having a few bpf_progs
running in the networking hotpath is already a lot.  The bpf_prog
should have already consolidated the existing sock-key-ed map usage
to minimize the map lookup penalty.  16 has enough runway to grow.

All sk-local-storage data will be removed from sk-&gt;sk_bpf_storage
during sk destruction.

bpf_sk_storage_get() and bpf_sk_storage_delete():
------------------------------------------------
Instead of using bpf_map_(lookup|update|delete)_elem(),
the bpf prog needs to use the new helper bpf_sk_storage_get() and
bpf_sk_storage_delete().  The verifier can then enforce the
ARG_PTR_TO_SOCKET argument.  The bpf_sk_storage_get() also allows to
"create" new elem if one does not exist in the sk.  It is done by
the new BPF_SK_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE flag.  An optional value can also be
provided as the initial value during BPF_SK_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE.
The BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE also supports bpf_spin_lock.  Together,
it has eliminated the potential use cases for an equivalent
bpf_map_update_elem() API (for bpf_prog) in this patch.

Misc notes:
----------
1. map_get_next_key is not supported.  From the userspace syscall
   perspective,  the map has the socket fd as the key while the map
   can be shared by pinned-file or map-id.

   Since btf is enforced, the existing "ss" could be enhanced to pretty
   print the local-storage.

   Supporting a kernel defined btf with 4 tuples as the return key could
   be explored later also.

2. The sk-&gt;sk_lock cannot be acquired.  Atomic operations is used instead.
   e.g. cmpxchg is done on the sk-&gt;sk_bpf_storage ptr.
   Please refer to the source code comments for the details in
   synchronization cases and considerations.

3. The mem is charged to the sk-&gt;sk_omem_alloc as the sk filter does.

Benchmark:
---------
Here is the benchmark data collected by turning on
the "kernel.bpf_stats_enabled" sysctl.
Two bpf progs are tested:

One bpf prog with the usual bpf hashmap (max_entries = 8192) with the
sk ptr as the key. (verifier is modified to support sk ptr as the key
That should have shortened the key lookup time.)

Another bpf prog is with the new BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE.

Both are storing a "u32 cnt", do a lookup on "egress_skb/cgroup" for
each egress skb and then bump the cnt.  netperf is used to drive
data with 4096 connected UDP sockets.

<title>bpf: add writable context for raw tracepoints</title>

This is an opt-in interface that allows a tracepoint to provide a safe
buffer that can be written from a BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT program.
The size of the buffer must be a compile-time constant, and is checked
before allowing a BPF program to attach to a tracepoint that uses this
feature.

The pointer to this buffer will be the first argument of tracepoints
that opt in; the pointer is valid and can be bpf_probe_read() by both
BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT and BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT_WRITABLE
programs that attach to such a tracepoint, but the buffer to which it
points may only be written by the latter.

<title>bpf: mark registers in all frames after pkt/null checks</title>

<id>c6a9efa1d8353d8960d152e7d469d952b01495c0</id>
<content type='text'>
In case of a null check on a pointer inside a subprog, we should mark all
registers with this pointer as either safe or unknown, in both the current
and previous frames.  Currently, only spilled registers and registers in
the current frame are marked.  Packet bound checks in subprogs have the
same issue.  This patch fixes it to mark registers in previous frames as
well.

A good reproducer for null checks looks as follow:

1: ptr = bpf_map_lookup_elem(map, &amp;key);
2: ret = subprog(ptr) {
3:   return ptr != NULL;
4: }
5: if (ret)
6:   value = *ptr;

With the above, the verifier will complain on line 6 because it sees ptr
as map_value_or_null despite the null check in subprog 1.

Note that this patch fixes another resulting bug when using
bpf_sk_release():

1: sk = bpf_sk_lookup_tcp(...);
2: subprog(sk) {
3:   if (sk)
4:     bpf_sk_release(sk);
5: }
6: if (!sk)
7:   return 0;
8: return 1;

In the above, mark_ptr_or_null_regs will warn on line 6 because it will
try to free the reference state, even though it was already freed on
line 3.

Drop bpf_verifier_lock for root to avoid being DoS-ed by unprivileged.
The BPF verifier is now fully parallel.
All unpriv users are still serialized by bpf_verifier_lock to avoid
exhausting kernel memory by running N parallel verifications.

verifier.c uses BPF_CAST_CALL for casting bpf call except at one
place in jit_subprogs(). Let's use the macro for consistency.

There are a few "regs[regno]" here are there across "check_reg_arg", this
patch factor it out into a simple "reg" pointer. The intention is to
simplify code indentation and make the later patches in this set look
cleaner.

After code refactor in previous patches, the propagation logic inside the
for loop in "propagate_liveness" becomes clear that they are good enough to
be factored out into a common function "propagate_liveness_reg".
