When a program is attached to a map we increment the program refcnt
to ensure that the program is not removed while it is potentially
being referenced from sockmap side. However, if this same program
also references the map (this is a reasonably common pattern in
my programs) then the verifier will also increment the maps refcnt
from the verifier. This is to ensure the map doesn't get garbage
collected while the program has a reference to it.

So we are left in a state where the map holds the refcnt on the
program stopping it from being removed and releasing the map refcnt.
And vice versa the program holds a refcnt on the map stopping it
from releasing the refcnt on the prog.

All this is fine as long as users detach the program while the
map fd is still around. But, if the user omits this detach command
we are left with a dangling map we can no longer release.

To resolve this when the map fd is released decrement the program
references and remove any reference from the map to the program.
This fixes the issue with possibly dangling map and creates a
user side API constraint. That is, the map fd must be held open
for programs to be attached to a map.

<title>bpf: sockmap, add sock close() hook to remove socks</title>

The selftests test_maps program was leaving dangling BPF sockmap
programs around because not all psock elements were removed from
the map. The elements in turn hold a reference on the BPF program
they are attached to causing BPF programs to stay open even after
test_maps has completed.

The original intent was that sk_state_change() would be called
when TCP socks went through TCP_CLOSE state. However, because
socks may be in SOCK_DEAD state or the sock may be a listening
socket the event is not always triggered.

To resolve this use the ULP infrastructure and register our own
proto close() handler. This fixes the above case.

2. move *prog under rcu, since it's not ok to dereference it afterwards

3. in a rare case of prog array being swapped between bpf_prog_array_length()
   and bpf_prog_array_copy_to_user() calls make sure to copy zeros to user space,
   so the user doesn't walk over uninited prog_ids while kernel reported
   uattr-&gt;query.prog_cnt &gt; 0

Commit b471f2f1de8b ("bpf: implement MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY command

    if (!rcu_dereference(trie-&gt;root))
        return -ENOENT;
    if (!key || key-&gt;prefixlen &gt; trie-&gt;max_prefixlen) {
        root = &amp;trie-&gt;root;
        goto find_leftmost;
    }
    ......
  find_leftmost:
    for (node = rcu_dereference(*root); node;) {

In the code after label find_leftmost, it is assumed
that *root should not be NULL, but it is not true as
it is possbile trie-&gt;root is changed to NULL by an
asynchronous delete operation.

The issue is reported by syzbot and Eric Dumazet with the
below error log:
  ......
  kasan: CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE enabled
  kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access
  general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN

  RIP: 0010:trie_get_next_key+0x3c2/0xf10 kernel/bpf/lpm_trie.c:682
  ......

This patch fixed the issue by use local rcu_dereferenced

One of the ugly leftovers from the early eBPF days is that div/mod
operations based on registers have a hard-coded src_reg == 0 test
in the interpreter as well as in JIT code generators that would
return from the BPF program with exit code 0. This was basically
adopted from cBPF interpreter for historical reasons.

There are multiple reasons why this is very suboptimal and prone
to bugs. To name one: the return code mapping for such abnormal
program exit of 0 does not always match with a suitable program
type's exit code mapping. For example, '0' in tc means action 'ok'
where the packet gets passed further up the stack, which is just
undesirable for such cases (e.g. when implementing policy) and
also does not match with other program types.

While trying to work out an exception handling scheme, I also
noticed that programs crafted like the following will currently
pass the verifier:

  0: (bf) r6 = r1
  1: (85) call pc+8
  caller:
   R6=ctx(id=0,off=0,imm=0) R10=fp0,call_-1
  callee:
   frame1: R1=ctx(id=0,off=0,imm=0) R10=fp0,call_1
  10: (b4) (u32) r2 = (u32) 0
  11: (b4) (u32) r3 = (u32) 1
  12: (3c) (u32) r3 /= (u32) r2
  13: (61) r0 = *(u32 *)(r1 +76)
  14: (95) exit
  returning from callee:
   frame1: R0_w=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=0,imm=0)
           R1=ctx(id=0,off=0,imm=0) R2_w=inv0
           R3_w=inv(id=0,umax_value=4294967295,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff))
           R10=fp0,call_1
  to caller at 2:
   R0_w=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=0,imm=0) R6=ctx(id=0,off=0,imm=0)
   R10=fp0,call_-1

  from 14 to 2: R0=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=0,imm=0)
                R6=ctx(id=0,off=0,imm=0) R10=fp0,call_-1
  2: (bf) r1 = r6
  3: (61) r1 = *(u32 *)(r1 +80)
  4: (bf) r2 = r0
  5: (07) r2 += 8
  6: (2d) if r2 &gt; r1 goto pc+1
   R0=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=8,imm=0) R1=pkt_end(id=0,off=0,imm=0)
   R2=pkt(id=0,off=8,r=8,imm=0) R6=ctx(id=0,off=0,imm=0)
   R10=fp0,call_-1
  7: (71) r0 = *(u8 *)(r0 +0)
  8: (b7) r0 = 1
  9: (95) exit

  from 6 to 8: safe
  processed 16 insns (limit 131072), stack depth 0+0

Basically what happens is that in the subprog we make use of a
div/mod by 0 exception and in the 'normal' subprog's exit path
we just return skb-&gt;data back to the main prog. This has the
implication that the verifier thinks we always get a pkt pointer
in R0 while we still have the implicit 'return 0' from the div
as an alternative unconditional return path earlier. Thus, R0
then contains 0, meaning back in the parent prog we get the
address range of [0x0, skb-&gt;data_end] as read and writeable.
Similar can be crafted with other pointer register types.

Since i) BPF_ABS/IND is not allowed in programs that contain
BPF to BPF calls (and generally it's also disadvised to use in
native eBPF context), ii) unknown opcodes don't return zero
anymore, iii) we don't return an exception code in dead branches,
the only last missing case affected and to fix is the div/mod
handling.

What we would really need is some infrastructure to propagate
exceptions all the way to the original prog unwinding the
current stack and returning that code to the caller of the
BPF program. In user space such exception handling for similar
runtimes is typically implemented with setjmp(3) and longjmp(3)
as one possibility which is not available in the kernel,
though (kgdb used to implement it in kernel long time ago). I
implemented a PoC exception handling mechanism into the BPF
interpreter with porting setjmp()/longjmp() into x86_64 and
adding a new internal BPF_ABRT opcode that can use a program
specific exception code for all exception cases we have (e.g.
div/mod by 0, unknown opcodes, etc). While this seems to work
in the constrained BPF environment (meaning, here, we don't
need to deal with state e.g. from memory allocations that we
would need to undo before going into exception state), it still
has various drawbacks: i) we would need to implement the
setjmp()/longjmp() for every arch supported in the kernel and
for x86_64, arm64, sparc64 JITs currently supporting calls,
ii) it has unconditional additional cost on main program
entry to store CPU register state in initial setjmp() call,
and we would need some way to pass the jmp_buf down into
___bpf_prog_run() for main prog and all subprogs, but also
storing on stack is not really nice (other option would be
per-cpu storage for this, but it also has the drawback that
we need to disable preemption for every BPF program types).
All in all this approach would add a lot of complexity.

Another poor-man's solution would be to have some sort of
additional shared register or scratch buffer to hold state
for exceptions, and test that after every call return to
chain returns and pass R0 all the way down to BPF prog caller.
This is also problematic in various ways: i) an additional
register doesn't map well into JITs, and some other scratch
space could only be on per-cpu storage, which, again has the
side-effect that this only works when we disable preemption,
or somewhere in the input context which is not available
everywhere either, and ii) this adds significant runtime
overhead by putting conditionals after each and every call,
as well as implementation complexity.

Yet another option is to teach verifier that div/mod can
return an integer, which however is also complex to implement
as verifier would need to walk such fake 'mov r0,&lt;code&gt;; exit;'
sequeuence and there would still be no guarantee for having
propagation of this further down to the BPF caller as proper
exception code. For parent prog, it is also is not distinguishable
from a normal return of a constant scalar value.

The approach taken here is a completely different one with
little complexity and no additional overhead involved in
that we make use of the fact that a div/mod by 0 is undefined
behavior. Instead of bailing out, we adapt the same behavior
as on some major archs like ARMv8 [0] into eBPF as well:
X div 0 results in 0, and X mod 0 results in X. aarch64 and
aarch32 ISA do not generate any traps or otherwise aborts
of program execution for unsigned divides. I verified this
also with a test program compiled by gcc and clang, and the
behavior matches with the spec. Going forward we adapt the
eBPF verifier to emit such rewrites once div/mod by register
was seen. cBPF is not touched and will keep existing 'return 0'
semantics. Given the options, it seems the most suitable from
all of them, also since major archs have similar schemes in
place. Given this is all in the realm of undefined behavior,
we still have the option to adapt if deemed necessary and
this way we would also have the option of more flexibility
from LLVM code generation side (which is then fully visible
to verifier). Thus, this patch i) fixes the panic seen in
above program and ii) doesn't bypass the verifier observations.

Recent findings by syzcaller fixed in 7891a87efc71 ("bpf: arsh is
not supported in 32 bit alu thus reject it") triggered a warning
in the interpreter due to unknown opcode not being rejected by
the verifier. The 'return 0' for an unknown opcode is really not
optimal, since with BPF to BPF calls, this would go untracked by
the verifier.

Do two things here to improve the situation: i) perform basic insn
sanity check early on in the verification phase and reject every
non-uapi insn right there. The bpf_opcode_in_insntable() table
reuses the same mapping as the jumptable in ___bpf_prog_run() sans
the non-public mappings. And ii) in ___bpf_prog_run() we do need
to BUG in the case where the verifier would ever create an unknown
opcode due to some rewrites.

Note that JITs do not have such issues since they would punt to
interpreter in these situations. Moreover, the BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON
would also help to avoid such unknown opcodes in the first place.

Given we recently had c131187db2d3 ("bpf: fix branch pruning
logic") and 95a762e2c8c9 ("bpf: fix incorrect sign extension in
check_alu_op()") in particular where before verifier skipped
verification of the wrongly assumed dead branch, we should not
just replace the dead code parts with nops (mov r0,r0). If there
is a bug such as fixed in 95a762e2c8c9 in future again, where
runtime could execute those insns, then one of the potential
issues with the current setting would be that given the nops
would be at the end of the program, we could execute out of
bounds at some point.

The best in such case would be to just exit the BPF program
altogether and return an exception code. However, given this
would require two instructions, and such a dead code gap could
just be a single insn long, we would need to place 'r0 = X; ret'
snippet at the very end after the user program or at the start
before the program (where we'd skip that region on prog entry),
and then place unconditional ja's into the dead code gap.

While more complex but possible, there's still another block
in the road that currently prevents from this, namely BPF to
BPF calls. The issue here is that such exception could be
returned from a callee, but the caller would not know that
it's an exception that needs to be propagated further down.
Alternative that has little complexity is to just use a ja-1
code for now which will trap the execution here instead of
silently doing bad things if we ever get there due to bugs.
