In preparation to enabling -Wimplicit-fallthrough, this patch silences
the following warning:

kernel/bpf/verifier.c: In function ‘check_return_code’:
kernel/bpf/verifier.c:6106:6: warning: this statement may fall through [-Wimplicit-fallthrough=]
   if (env-&gt;prog-&gt;expected_attach_type == BPF_CGROUP_UDP4_RECVMSG ||
      ^
kernel/bpf/verifier.c:6109:2: note: here
  case BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB:
  ^~~~

Warning level 3 was used: -Wimplicit-fallthrough=3

Notice that is much clearer to explicitly add breaks in each case
statement (that actually contains some code), rather than letting
the code to fall through.

This patch is part of the ongoing efforts to enable
-Wimplicit-fallthrough.

<title>bpf: fix precision bit propagation for BPF_ST instructions</title>

<content type='text'>
When backtracking instructions to propagate precision bit for registers
and stack slots, one class of instructions (BPF_ST) weren't handled
causing extra stack slots to be propagated into parent state. Parent
state might not have that much stack allocated, though, which causes
warning on invalid stack slot usage.

This patch adds handling of BPF_ST instructions:

BPF_MEM | &lt;size&gt; | BPF_ST:   *(size *) (dst_reg + off) = imm32

<title>devmap: Allow map lookups from eBPF</title>

We don't currently allow lookups into a devmap from eBPF, because the map
lookup returns a pointer directly to the dev-&gt;ifindex, which shouldn't be
modifiable from eBPF.

However, being able to do lookups in devmaps is useful to know (e.g.)
whether forwarding to a specific interface is enabled. Currently, programs
work around this by keeping a shadow map of another type which indicates
whether a map index is valid.

Since we now have a flag to make maps read-only from the eBPF side, we can
simply lift the lookup restriction if we make sure this flag is always set.

<title>bpf: implement getsockopt and setsockopt hooks</title>

<id>0d01da6afc5402f60325c5da31b22f7d56689b49</id>
<content type='text'>
Implement new BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCKOPT program type and
BPF_CGROUP_{G,S}ETSOCKOPT cgroup hooks.

BPF_CGROUP_SETSOCKOPT can modify user setsockopt arguments before
passing them down to the kernel or bypass kernel completely.
BPF_CGROUP_GETSOCKOPT can can inspect/modify getsockopt arguments that
kernel returns.
Both hooks reuse existing PTR_TO_PACKET{,_END} infrastructure.

The buffer memory is pre-allocated (because I don't think there is
a precedent for working with __user memory from bpf). This might be
slow to do for each {s,g}etsockopt call, that's why I've added
__cgroup_bpf_prog_array_is_empty that exits early if there is nothing
attached to a cgroup. Note, however, that there is a race between
__cgroup_bpf_prog_array_is_empty and BPF_PROG_RUN_ARRAY where cgroup
program layout might have changed; this should not be a problem
because in general there is a race between multiple calls to
{s,g}etsocktop and user adding/removing bpf progs from a cgroup.

The return code of the BPF program is handled as follows:
* 0: EPERM
* 1: success, continue with next BPF program in the cgroup chain

v9:
* allow overwriting setsockopt arguments (Alexei Starovoitov):
  * use set_fs (same as kernel_setsockopt)
  * buffer is always kzalloc'd (no small on-stack buffer)

v8:
* use s32 for optlen (Andrii Nakryiko)

v7:
* return only 0 or 1 (Alexei Starovoitov)
* always run all progs (Alexei Starovoitov)
* use optval=0 as kernel bypass in setsockopt (Alexei Starovoitov)
  (decided to use optval=-1 instead, optval=0 might be a valid input)
* call getsockopt hook after kernel handlers (Alexei Starovoitov)

v6:
* rework cgroup chaining; stop as soon as bpf program returns
  0 or 2; see patch with the documentation for the details
* drop Andrii's and Martin's Acked-by (not sure they are comfortable
  with the new state of things)

v5:
* skip copy_to_user() and put_user() when ret == 0 (Martin Lau)

v4:
* don't export bpf_sk_fullsock helper (Martin Lau)
* size != sizeof(__u64) for uapi pointers (Martin Lau)
* offsetof instead of bpf_ctx_range when checking ctx access (Martin Lau)

v3:
* typos in BPF_PROG_CGROUP_SOCKOPT_RUN_ARRAY comments (Andrii Nakryiko)
* reverse christmas tree in BPF_PROG_CGROUP_SOCKOPT_RUN_ARRAY (Andrii
  Nakryiko)
* use __bpf_md_ptr instead of __u32 for optval{,_end} (Martin Lau)
* use BPF_FIELD_SIZEOF() for consistency (Martin Lau)
* new CG_SOCKOPT_ACCESS macro to wrap repeated parts

v2:
* moved bpf_sockopt_kern fields around to remove a hole (Martin Lau)
* aligned bpf_sockopt_kern-&gt;buf to 8 bytes (Martin Lau)
* bpf_prog_array_is_empty instead of bpf_prog_array_length (Martin Lau)
* added [0,2] return code check to verifier (Martin Lau)
* dropped unused buf[64] from the stack (Martin Lau)
* use PTR_TO_SOCKET for bpf_sockopt-&gt;sk (Martin Lau)
* dropped bpf_target_off from ctx rewrites (Martin Lau)
* use return code for kernel bypass (Martin Lau &amp; Andrii Nakryiko)

Consider code:
654: (85) call bpf_get_hash_recalc#34
655: (bf) r7 = r0
656: (15) if r8 == 0x0 goto pc+29
657: (bf) r2 = r10
658: (07) r2 += -48
659: (18) r1 = 0xffff8881e41e1b00
661: (85) call bpf_map_lookup_elem#1
662: (15) if r0 == 0x0 goto pc+23
663: (69) r1 = *(u16 *)(r0 +0)
664: (15) if r1 == 0x0 goto pc+21
665: (bf) r8 = r7
666: (57) r8 &amp;= 65535
667: (bf) r2 = r8
668: (3f) r2 /= r1
669: (2f) r2 *= r1
670: (bf) r1 = r8
671: (1f) r1 -= r2
672: (57) r1 &amp;= 255
673: (25) if r1 &gt; 0x1e goto pc+12
 R0=map_value(id=0,off=0,ks=20,vs=64,imm=0) R1_w=inv(id=0,umax_value=30,var_off=(0x0; 0x1f))
674: (67) r1 &lt;&lt;= 1
675: (0f) r0 += r1

At this point the verifier will notice that scalar R1 is used in map pointer adjustment.
R1 has to be precise for later operations on R0 to be validated properly.

The verifier will backtrack the above code in the following way:
last_idx 675 first_idx 664
regs=2 stack=0 before 675: (0f) r0 += r1         // started backtracking R1 regs=2 is a bitmask
regs=2 stack=0 before 674: (67) r1 &lt;&lt;= 1
regs=2 stack=0 before 673: (25) if r1 &gt; 0x1e goto pc+12
regs=2 stack=0 before 672: (57) r1 &amp;= 255
regs=2 stack=0 before 671: (1f) r1 -= r2         // now both R1 and R2 has to be precise -&gt; regs=6 mask
regs=6 stack=0 before 670: (bf) r1 = r8          // after this insn R8 and R2 has to be precise
regs=104 stack=0 before 669: (2f) r2 *= r1       // after this one R8, R2, and R1
regs=106 stack=0 before 668: (3f) r2 /= r1
regs=106 stack=0 before 667: (bf) r2 = r8
regs=102 stack=0 before 666: (57) r8 &amp;= 65535
regs=102 stack=0 before 665: (bf) r8 = r7
regs=82 stack=0 before 664: (15) if r1 == 0x0 goto pc+21
 // this is the end of verifier state. The following regs will be marked precised:
 R1_rw=invP(id=0,umax_value=65535,var_off=(0x0; 0xffff)) R7_rw=invP(id=0)
parent didn't have regs=82 stack=0 marks         // so backtracking continues into parent state
last_idx 663 first_idx 655
regs=82 stack=0 before 663: (69) r1 = *(u16 *)(r0 +0)   // R1 was assigned no need to track it further
regs=80 stack=0 before 662: (15) if r0 == 0x0 goto pc+23    // keep tracking R7
regs=80 stack=0 before 661: (85) call bpf_map_lookup_elem#1  // keep tracking R7

<title>bpf: fix callees pruning callers</title>

<content type='text'>
The commit 7640ead93924 partially resolved the issue of callees
incorrectly pruning the callers.
With introduction of bounded loops and jmps_processed heuristic
single verifier state may contain multiple branches and calls.
It's possible that new verifier state (for future pruning) will be
allocated inside callee. Then callee will exit (still within the same
verifier state). It will go back to the caller and there R6-R9 registers
will be read and will trigger mark_reg_read. But the reg-&gt;live for all frames
but the top frame is not set to LIVE_NONE. Hence mark_reg_read will fail
to propagate liveness into parent and future walking will incorrectly
conclude that the states are equivalent because LIVE_READ is not set.
In other words the rule for parent/live should be:
whenever register parentage chain is set the reg-&gt;live should be set to LIVE_NONE.
is_state_visited logic already follows this rule for spilled registers.

Fixes: 7640ead93924 ("bpf: verifier: make sure callees don't prune with caller differences")
Fixes: f4d7e40a5b71 ("bpf: introduce function calls (verification)")

Allow the verifier to validate the loops by simulating their execution.
Exisiting programs have used '#pragma unroll' to unroll the loops
by the compiler. Instead let the verifier simulate all iterations
of the loop.
In order to do that introduce parentage chain of bpf_verifier_state and
'branches' counter for the number of branches left to explore.
See more detailed algorithm description in bpf_verifier.h

This algorithm borrows the key idea from Edward Cree approach:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/877222/
Additional state pruning heuristics make such brute force loop walk
practical even for large loops.

<content type='text'>
This patch extends is_branch_taken() logic from JMP+K instructions
to JMP+X instructions.
Conditional branches are often done when src and dst registers
contain known scalars. In such case the verifier can follow
the branch that is going to be taken when program executes.
That speeds up the verification and is essential feature to support
bounded loops.
