Readonly and readwrite buffer register states
are introduced. Totally four states,
PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF[_OR_NULL] and PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF[_OR_NULL]
are supported. As suggested by their respective
names, PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF[_OR_NULL] are for
readonly buffers and PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF[_OR_NULL]
for read/write buffers.

These new register states will be used
by later bpf map element iterator.

New register states share some similarity to
PTR_TO_TP_BUFFER as it will calculate accessed buffer
size during verification time. The accessed buffer
size will be later compared to other metrics during
later attach/link_create time.

Similar to reg_state PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL in bpf
iterator programs, PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF_OR_NULL or
PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF_OR_NULL reg_types can be set at
prog-&gt;aux-&gt;bpf_ctx_arg_aux, and bpf verifier will
retrieve the values during btf_ctx_access().
Later bpf map element iterator implementation
will show how such information will be assigned
during target registeration time.

The verifier is also enhanced such that PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF
can be passed to ARG_PTR_TO_MEM[_OR_NULL] helper argument, and
PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF can be passed to ARG_PTR_TO_MEM[_OR_NULL] or
ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM.

<title>bpf: Introduce SK_LOOKUP program type with a dedicated attach point</title>

<id>e9ddbb7707ff5891616240026062b8c1e29864ca</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new program type BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_LOOKUP with a dedicated attach type
BPF_SK_LOOKUP. The new program kind is to be invoked by the transport layer
when looking up a listening socket for a new connection request for
connection oriented protocols, or when looking up an unconnected socket for
a packet for connection-less protocols.

When called, SK_LOOKUP BPF program can select a socket that will receive
the packet. This serves as a mechanism to overcome the limits of what
bind() API allows to express. Two use-cases driving this work are:

 (1) steer packets destined to an IP range, on fixed port to a socket

     192.0.2.0/24, port 80 -&gt; NGINX socket

 (2) steer packets destined to an IP address, on any port to a socket

     198.51.100.1, any port -&gt; L7 proxy socket

In its run-time context program receives information about the packet that
triggered the socket lookup. Namely IP version, L4 protocol identifier, and
address 4-tuple. Context can be further extended to include ingress
interface identifier.

To select a socket BPF program fetches it from a map holding socket
references, like SOCKMAP or SOCKHASH, and calls bpf_sk_assign(ctx, sk, ...)
helper to record the selection. Transport layer then uses the selected
socket as a result of socket lookup.

In its basic form, SK_LOOKUP acts as a filter and hence must return either
SK_PASS or SK_DROP. If the program returns with SK_PASS, transport should
look for a socket to receive the packet, or use the one selected by the
program if available, while SK_DROP informs the transport layer that the
lookup should fail.

This patch only enables the user to attach an SK_LOOKUP program to a
network namespace. Subsequent patches hook it up to run on local delivery
path in ipv4 and ipv6 stacks.

Introduce helper bpf_get_task_stack(), which dumps stack trace of given
task. This is different to bpf_get_stack(), which gets stack track of
current task. One potential use case of bpf_get_task_stack() is to call
it from bpf_iter__task and dump all /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/stack to a seq_file.

bpf_get_task_stack() uses stack_trace_save_tsk() instead of
get_perf_callchain() for kernel stack. The benefit of this choice is that
stack_trace_save_tsk() doesn't require changes in arch/. The downside of
using stack_trace_save_tsk() is that stack_trace_save_tsk() dumps the
stack trace to unsigned long array. For 32-bit systems, we need to
translate it to u64 array.

<title>bpf: Fix an incorrect branch elimination by verifier</title>

<id>01c66c48d4f0825a202d4163800b706a1d2ec7ad</id>
<content type='text'>
Wenbo reported an issue in [1] where a checking of null
pointer is evaluated as always false. In this particular
case, the program type is tp_btf and the pointer to
compare is a PTR_TO_BTF_ID.

The current verifier considers PTR_TO_BTF_ID always
reprents a non-null pointer, hence all PTR_TO_BTF_ID compares
to 0 will be evaluated as always not-equal, which resulted
in the branch elimination.

For example,
 struct bpf_fentry_test_t {
     struct bpf_fentry_test_t *a;
 };
 int BPF_PROG(test7, struct bpf_fentry_test_t *arg)
 {
     if (arg == 0)
         test7_result = 1;
     return 0;
 }
 int BPF_PROG(test8, struct bpf_fentry_test_t *arg)
 {
     if (arg-&gt;a == 0)
         test8_result = 1;
     return 0;
 }

In above bpf programs, both branch arg == 0 and arg-&gt;a == 0
are removed. This may not be what developer expected.

The bug is introduced by Commit cac616db39c2 ("bpf: Verifier
track null pointer branch_taken with JNE and JEQ"),
where PTR_TO_BTF_ID is considered to be non-null when evaluting
pointer vs. scalar comparison. This may be added
considering we have PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL in the verifier
as well.

PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL is added to explicitly requires
a non-NULL testing in selective cases. The current generic
pointer tracing framework in verifier always
assigns PTR_TO_BTF_ID so users does not need to
check NULL pointer at every pointer level like a-&gt;b-&gt;c-&gt;d.

We may not want to assign every PTR_TO_BTF_ID as
PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL as this will require a null test
before pointer dereference which may cause inconvenience
for developers. But we could avoid branch elimination
to preserve original code intention.

This patch simply removed PTR_TO_BTD_ID from reg_type_not_null()
in verifier, which prevented the above branches from being eliminated.

 {
     if (arg == 0)
         test7_result = 1;
     return 0;
 }
 int BPF_PROG(test8, struct bpf_fentry_test_t *arg)
 {
     if (arg-&gt;a == 0)
         test8_result = 1;
     return 0;
 }

In above bpf programs, both branch arg == 0 and arg-&gt;a == 0
are removed. This may not be what developer expected.

The bug is introduced by Commit cac616db39c2 ("bpf: Verifier
track null pointer branch_taken with JNE and JEQ"),
where PTR_TO_BTF_ID is considered to be non-null when evaluting
pointer vs. scalar comparison. This may be added
considering we have PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL in the verifier
as well.

PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL is added to explicitly requires
a non-NULL testing in selective cases. The current generic
pointer tracing framework in verifier always
assigns PTR_TO_BTF_ID so users does not need to
check NULL pointer at every pointer level like a-&gt;b-&gt;c-&gt;d.

We may not want to assign every PTR_TO_BTF_ID as
PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL as this will require a null test
before pointer dereference which may cause inconvenience
for developers. But we could avoid branch elimination
to preserve original code intention.

This patch simply removed PTR_TO_BTD_ID from reg_type_not_null()
in verifier, which prevented the above branches from being eliminated.

<title>bpf: Add bpf_skc_to_tcp6_sock() helper</title>

The helper is used in tracing programs to cast a socket
pointer to a tcp6_sock pointer.
The return value could be NULL if the casting is illegal.

A new helper return type RET_PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL is added
so the verifier is able to deduce proper return types for the helper.

Different from the previous BTF_ID based helpers,
the bpf_skc_to_tcp6_sock() argument can be several possible
btf_ids. More specifically, all possible socket data structures
with sock_common appearing in the first in the memory layout.
This patch only added socket types related to tcp and udp.

All possible argument btf_id and return value btf_id
for helper bpf_skc_to_tcp6_sock() are pre-calculcated and
cached. In the future, it is even possible to precompute
these btf_id's at kernel build time.
