For jited bpf program, if the subprogram count is 1, i.e.,
there is no callees in the program, prog-&gt;aux-&gt;func will be NULL
and prog-&gt;bpf_func points to image address of the program.

If there is more than one subprogram, prog-&gt;aux-&gt;func is populated,
and subprogram 0 can be accessed through either prog-&gt;bpf_func or
prog-&gt;aux-&gt;func[0]. Other subprograms should be accessed through
prog-&gt;aux-&gt;func[subprog_id].

This patch fixed a bug in check_attach_btf_id(), where
prog-&gt;aux-&gt;func[subprog_id] is used to access any subprogram which
caused a segfault like below:

<title>bpf: Constant map key tracking for prog array pokes</title>

<id>d2e4c1e6c2947269346054ac8937ccfe9e0bcc6b</id>
<content type='text'>
Add tracking of constant keys into tail call maps. The signature of
bpf_tail_call_proto is that arg1 is ctx, arg2 map pointer and arg3
is a index key. The direct call approach for tail calls can be enabled
if the verifier asserted that for all branches leading to the tail call
helper invocation, the map pointer and index key were both constant
and the same.

Tracking of map pointers we already do from prior work via c93552c443eb
("bpf: properly enforce index mask to prevent out-of-bounds speculation")
and 09772d92cd5a ("bpf: avoid retpoline for lookup/update/ delete calls
on maps").

Given the tail call map index key is not on stack but directly in the
register, we can add similar tracking approach and later in fixup_bpf_calls()
add a poke descriptor to the progs poke_tab with the relevant information
for the JITing phase.

We internally reuse insn-&gt;imm for the rewritten BPF_JMP | BPF_TAIL_CALL
instruction in order to point into the prog's poke_tab, and keep insn-&gt;imm
as 0 as indicator that current indirect tail call emission must be used.
Note that publishing to the tracker must happen at the end of fixup_bpf_calls()
since adding elements to the poke_tab reallocates its memory, so we need
to wait until its in final state.

Future work can generalize and add similar approach to optimize plain
array map lookups. Difference there is that we need to look into the key
value that sits on stack. For clarity in bpf_insn_aux_data, map_state
has been renamed into map_ptr_state, so we get map_{ptr,key}_state as
trackers.

The value range for register r6 at insn 198 should be really just 0/1.
The umax_value=0xffffffff caused later verification failure.

After jmp instructions, the current verifier already tried to use just
obtained information to get better register range. The current mechanism is
for 64bit register only. This patch implemented to tighten the range
for 32bit sub-registers after jmp32 instructions.
With the patch, we have the below range ranges for the
above code sequence:
 193: (85) call bpf_probe_read_user_str#114
   R0=inv(id=0)
 194: (26) if w0 &gt; 0x1 goto pc+4

 195: (6b) *(u16 *)(r7 +80) = r0
 196: (bc) w6 = w0

 197: (67) r6 &lt;&lt;= 32
   R6_w=inv(id=0,umax_value=0x100000000,var_off=(0x0; 0x100000000))
 198: (77) r6 &gt;&gt;= 32
   R6=inv(id=0,umax_value=1,var_off=(0x0; 0x1))
 ...
 201: (79) r8 = *(u64 *)(r10 -416)
   R8_w=map_value(id=0,off=40,ks=4,vs=13872,imm=0)
 202: (0f) r8 += r6
   R8_w=map_value(id=0,off=40,ks=4,vs=13872,umax_value=1,var_off=(0x0; 0x1))
 203: (07) r8 += 9696
   R8_w=map_value(id=0,off=9736,ks=4,vs=13872,umax_value=1,var_off=(0x0; 0x1))

 255: (bf) r1 = r8
   R1_w=map_value(id=0,off=9736,ks=4,vs=13872,umax_value=1,var_off=(0x0; 0x1))
 ...
 257: (85) call bpf_probe_read_user_str#114
 ...

At insn 194, the register R0 has better var_off.mask and smax_value.
Especially, the var_off.mask ensures later lshift and rshift
maintains proper value range.

<title>bpf: Switch bpf_map ref counter to atomic64_t so bpf_map_inc() never fails</title>

<content type='text'>
92117d8443bc ("bpf: fix refcnt overflow") turned refcounting of bpf_map into
potentially failing operation, when refcount reaches BPF_MAX_REFCNT limit
(32k). Due to using 32-bit counter, it's possible in practice to overflow
refcounter and make it wrap around to 0, causing erroneous map free, while
there are still references to it, causing use-after-free problems.

But having a failing refcounting operations are problematic in some cases. One
example is mmap() interface. After establishing initial memory-mapping, user
is allowed to arbitrarily map/remap/unmap parts of mapped memory, arbitrarily
splitting it into multiple non-contiguous regions. All this happening without
any control from the users of mmap subsystem. Rather mmap subsystem sends
notifications to original creator of memory mapping through open/close
callbacks, which are optionally specified during initial memory mapping
creation. These callbacks are used to maintain accurate refcount for bpf_map
(see next patch in this series). The problem is that open() callback is not
supposed to fail, because memory-mapped resource is set up and properly
referenced. This is posing a problem for using memory-mapping with BPF maps.

One solution to this is to maintain separate refcount for just memory-mappings
and do single bpf_map_inc/bpf_map_put when it goes from/to zero, respectively.
There are similar use cases in current work on tcp-bpf, necessitating extra
counter as well. This seems like a rather unfortunate and ugly solution that
doesn't scale well to various new use cases.

Another approach to solve this is to use non-failing refcount_t type, which
uses 32-bit counter internally, but, once reaching overflow state at UINT_MAX,
stays there. This utlimately causes memory leak, but prevents use after free.

But given refcounting is not the most performance-critical operation with BPF
maps (it's not used from running BPF program code), we can also just switch to
64-bit counter that can't overflow in practice, potentially disadvantaging
32-bit platforms a tiny bit. This simplifies semantics and allows above
described scenarios to not worry about failing refcount increment operation.

In terms of struct bpf_map size, we are still good and use the same amount of
space:

BEFORE (3 cache lines, 8 bytes of padding at the end):
struct bpf_map {
	const struct bpf_map_ops  * ops __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); /*     0     8 */

	void *                     security;             /*    16     8 */
	enum bpf_map_type  map_type;                     /*    24     4 */

This patch, while modifying all users of bpf_map_inc, also cleans up its
interface to match bpf_map_put with separate operations for bpf_map_inc and
bpf_map_inc_with_uref (to match bpf_map_put and bpf_map_put_with_uref,
respectively). Also, given there are no users of bpf_map_inc_not_zero
specifying uref=true, remove uref flag and default to uref=false internally.

92117d8443bc ("bpf: fix refcnt overflow") turned refcounting of bpf_map into
potentially failing operation, when refcount reaches BPF_MAX_REFCNT limit
(32k). Due to using 32-bit counter, it's possible in practice to overflow
refcounter and make it wrap around to 0, causing erroneous map free, while
there are still references to it, causing use-after-free problems.

But having a failing refcounting operations are problematic in some cases. One
example is mmap() interface. After establishing initial memory-mapping, user
is allowed to arbitrarily map/remap/unmap parts of mapped memory, arbitrarily
splitting it into multiple non-contiguous regions. All this happening without
any control from the users of mmap subsystem. Rather mmap subsystem sends
notifications to original creator of memory mapping through open/close
callbacks, which are optionally specified during initial memory mapping
creation. These callbacks are used to maintain accurate refcount for bpf_map
(see next patch in this series). The problem is that open() callback is not
supposed to fail, because memory-mapped resource is set up and properly
referenced. This is posing a problem for using memory-mapping with BPF maps.

One solution to this is to maintain separate refcount for just memory-mappings
and do single bpf_map_inc/bpf_map_put when it goes from/to zero, respectively.
There are similar use cases in current work on tcp-bpf, necessitating extra
counter as well. This seems like a rather unfortunate and ugly solution that
doesn't scale well to various new use cases.

Another approach to solve this is to use non-failing refcount_t type, which
uses 32-bit counter internally, but, once reaching overflow state at UINT_MAX,
stays there. This utlimately causes memory leak, but prevents use after free.

But given refcounting is not the most performance-critical operation with BPF
maps (it's not used from running BPF program code), we can also just switch to
64-bit counter that can't overflow in practice, potentially disadvantaging
32-bit platforms a tiny bit. This simplifies semantics and allows above
described scenarios to not worry about failing refcount increment operation.

In terms of struct bpf_map size, we are still good and use the same amount of
space:

<title>bpf: Support attaching tracing BPF program to other BPF programs</title>

Allow FENTRY/FEXIT BPF programs to attach to other BPF programs of any type
including their subprograms. This feature allows snooping on input and output
packets in XDP, TC programs including their return values. In order to do that
the verifier needs to track types not only of vmlinux, but types of other BPF
programs as well. The verifier also needs to translate uapi/linux/bpf.h types
used by networking programs into kernel internal BTF types used by FENTRY/FEXIT
BPF programs. In some cases LLVM optimizations can remove arguments from BPF
subprograms without adjusting BTF info that LLVM backend knows. When BTF info
disagrees with actual types that the verifiers sees the BPF trampoline has to
fallback to conservative and treat all arguments as u64. The FENTRY/FEXIT
program can still attach to such subprograms, but it won't be able to recognize
pointer types like 'struct sk_buff *' and it won't be able to pass them to
bpf_skb_output() for dumping packets to user space. The FENTRY/FEXIT program
would need to use bpf_probe_read_kernel() instead.

The BPF_PROG_LOAD command is extended with attach_prog_fd field. When it's set
to zero the attach_btf_id is one vmlinux BTF type ids. When attach_prog_fd
points to previously loaded BPF program the attach_btf_id is BTF type id of
main function or one of its subprograms.

Make the verifier check that BTF types of function arguments match actual types
passed into top-level BPF program and into BPF-to-BPF calls. If types match
such BPF programs and sub-programs will have full support of BPF trampoline. If
types mismatch the trampoline has to be conservative. It has to save/restore
five program arguments and assume 64-bit scalars.

Annotate BPF program context types with program-side type and kernel-side type.
This type information is used by the verifier. btf_get_prog_ctx_type() is
used in the later patches to verify that BTF type of ctx in BPF program matches to
kernel expected ctx type. For example, the XDP program type is:
BPF_PROG_TYPE(BPF_PROG_TYPE_XDP, xdp, struct xdp_md, struct xdp_buff)
That means that XDP program should be written as:
int xdp_prog(struct xdp_md *ctx) { ... }

btf_resolve_helper_id() caching logic is a bit racy, since under root the
verifier can verify several programs in parallel. Fix it with READ/WRITE_ONCE.
Fix the type as well, since error is also recorded.

<title>bpf: Introduce BPF trampoline</title>

<content type='text'>
Introduce BPF trampoline concept to allow kernel code to call into BPF programs
with practically zero overhead.  The trampoline generation logic is
architecture dependent.  It's converting native calling convention into BPF
calling convention.  BPF ISA is 64-bit (even on 32-bit architectures). The
registers R1 to R5 are used to pass arguments into BPF functions. The main BPF
program accepts only single argument "ctx" in R1. Whereas CPU native calling
convention is different. x86-64 is passing first 6 arguments in registers
and the rest on the stack. x86-32 is passing first 3 arguments in registers.
sparc64 is passing first 6 in registers. And so on.

The trampolines between BPF and kernel already exist.  BPF_CALL_x macros in
include/linux/filter.h statically compile trampolines from BPF into kernel
helpers. They convert up to five u64 arguments into kernel C pointers and
integers. On 64-bit architectures this BPF_to_kernel trampolines are nops. On
32-bit architecture they're meaningful.

The opposite job kernel_to_BPF trampolines is done by CAST_TO_U64 macros and
__bpf_trace_##call() shim functions in include/trace/bpf_probe.h. They convert
kernel function arguments into array of u64s that BPF program consumes via
R1=ctx pointer.

This patch set is doing the same job as __bpf_trace_##call() static
trampolines, but dynamically for any kernel function. There are ~22k global
kernel functions that are attachable via nop at function entry. The function
arguments and types are described in BTF.  The job of btf_distill_func_proto()
function is to extract useful information from BTF into "function model" that
architecture dependent trampoline generators will use to generate assembly code
to cast kernel function arguments into array of u64s.  For example the kernel
function eth_type_trans has two pointers. They will be casted to u64 and stored
into stack of generated trampoline. The pointer to that stack space will be
passed into BPF program in R1. On x86-64 such generated trampoline will consume
16 bytes of stack and two stores of %rdi and %rsi into stack. The verifier will
make sure that only two u64 are accessed read-only by BPF program. The verifier
will also recognize the precise type of the pointers being accessed and will
not allow typecasting of the pointer to a different type within BPF program.

The tracing use case in the datacenter demonstrated that certain key kernel
functions have (like tcp_retransmit_skb) have 2 or more kprobes that are always
active.  Other functions have both kprobe and kretprobe.  So it is essential to
keep both kernel code and BPF programs executing at maximum speed. Hence
generated BPF trampoline is re-generated every time new program is attached or
detached to maintain maximum performance.

To avoid the high cost of retpoline the attached BPF programs are called
directly. __bpf_prog_enter/exit() are used to support per-program execution
stats.  In the future this logic will be optimized further by adding support
for bpf_stats_enabled_key inside generated assembly code. Introduction of
preemptible and sleepable BPF programs will completely remove the need to call
to __bpf_prog_enter/exit().

Detach of a BPF program from the trampoline should not fail. To avoid memory
allocation in detach path the half of the page is used as a reserve and flipped
after each attach/detach. 2k bytes is enough to call 40+ BPF programs directly
which is enough for BPF tracing use cases. This limit can be increased in the
future.

BPF_TRACE_FENTRY programs have access to raw kernel function arguments while
BPF_TRACE_FEXIT programs have access to kernel return value as well. Often
kprobe BPF program remembers function arguments in a map while kretprobe
fetches arguments from a map and analyzes them together with return value.
BPF_TRACE_FEXIT accelerates this typical use case.

Recursion prevention for kprobe BPF programs is done via per-cpu
bpf_prog_active counter. In practice that turned out to be a mistake. It
caused programs to randomly skip execution. The tracing tools missed results
they were looking for. Hence BPF trampoline doesn't provide builtin recursion
prevention. It's a job of BPF program itself and will be addressed in the
follow up patches.

BPF trampoline is intended to be used beyond tracing and fentry/fexit use cases
in the future. For example to remove retpoline cost from XDP programs.

<title>bpf: Replace prog_raw_tp+btf_id with prog_tracing</title>

<id>f1b9509c2fb0ef4db8d22dac9aef8e856a5d81f6</id>
<content type='text'>
The bpf program type raw_tp together with 'expected_attach_type'
was the most appropriate api to indicate BTF-enabled raw_tp programs.
But during development it became apparent that 'expected_attach_type'
cannot be used and new 'attach_btf_id' field had to be introduced.
Which means that the information is duplicated in two fields where
one of them is ignored.
Clean it up by introducing new program type where both
'expected_attach_type' and 'attach_btf_id' fields have
specific meaning.
In the future 'expected_attach_type' will be extended
with other attach points that have similar semantics to raw_tp.
This patch is replacing BTF-enabled BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT with
prog_type = BPF_RPOG_TYPE_TRACING
expected_attach_type = BPF_TRACE_RAW_TP
attach_btf_id = btf_id of raw tracepoint inside the kernel
Future patches will add
expected_attach_type = BPF_TRACE_FENTRY or BPF_TRACE_FEXIT
where programs have the same input context and the same helpers,
but different attach points.
