<title>selftests/bpf: Add a test for using a cpumap from an freplace-to-XDP program</title>

<id>f506439ec3dee11e0e77b0a1f3fb3eec22c97873</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds a simple test for inserting an XDP program into a cpumap that is
"owned" by an XDP program that was loaded as PROG_TYPE_EXT (as libxdp
does). Prior to the kernel fix this would fail because the map type
ownership would be set to PROG_TYPE_EXT instead of being resolved to
PROG_TYPE_XDP.

v5:
- Fix a few nits from Andrii, add his ACK
v4:
- Use skeletons for selftest
v3:
- Update comment to better explain the cause
- Add Yonghong's ACK

BPF selftests require CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION to work. However,
CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is no longer 'y' by default after recent
changes. As a result, we are seeing errors like the following from BPF CI:

   bpf_testmod_test_read() is not modifiable
   __x64_sys_setdomainname is not sleepable
   __x64_sys_getpgid is not sleepable

Fix this by explicitly selecting CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION in the
selftest config.

Kernel test robot reported bpf selftest build failure when CONFIG_SMP
is not set. The error message looks below:

  &gt;&gt; progs/rcu_read_lock.c:256:34: error: no member named 'last_wakee' in 'struct task_struct'
             last_wakee = task-&gt;real_parent-&gt;last_wakee;
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ^
     1 error generated.

When CONFIG_SMP is not set, the field 'last_wakee' is not available in struct
'task_struct'. Hence the above compilation failure. To fix the issue, let us
choose another field 'group_leader' which is available regardless of
CONFIG_SMP set or not.

Check that verifier.c:states_equal() uses check_ids() to match
consistent active_lock/map_value configurations. This allows to prune
states with active spin locks even if numerical values of

<title>selftests/bpf: Add test for dynptr reinit in user_ringbuf callback</title>

The original support for bpf_user_ringbuf_drain callbacks simply
short-circuited checks for the dynptr state, allowing users to pass
PTR_TO_DYNPTR (now CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR) to helpers that initialize a
dynptr. This bug would have also surfaced with other dynptr helpers in
the future that changed dynptr view or modified it in some way.

Include test cases for all cases, i.e. both bpf_dynptr_from_mem and
bpf_ringbuf_reserve_dynptr, and ensure verifier rejects both of them.
Without the fix, both of these programs load and pass verification.

While at it, remove sys_nanosleep target from failure cases' SEC
definition, as there is no such tracepoint.

<title>bpf: Rework check_func_arg_reg_off</title>

<id>184c9bdb8f65d9f909b3a089a83bc0b0f1e1ea4c</id>
<content type='text'>
While check_func_arg_reg_off is the place which performs generic checks
needed by various candidates of reg-&gt;type, there is some handling for
special cases, like ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR, OBJ_RELEASE, and
ARG_PTR_TO_RINGBUF_MEM.

This commit aims to streamline these special cases and instead leave
other things up to argument type specific code to handle. The function
will be restrictive by default, and cover all possible cases when
OBJ_RELEASE is set, without having to update the function again (and
missing to do that being a bug).

This is done primarily for two reasons: associating back reg-&gt;type to
its argument leaves room for the list getting out of sync when a new
reg-&gt;type is supported by an arg_type.

The other case is ARG_PTR_TO_RINGBUF_MEM. The problem there is something
we already handle, whenever a release argument is expected, it should
be passed as the pointer that was received from the acquire function.
Hence zero fixed and variable offset.

There is nothing special about ARG_PTR_TO_RINGBUF_MEM, where technically
its target register type PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RINGBUF can already be passed
with non-zero offset to other helper functions, which makes sense.

Hence, lift the arg_type_is_release check for reg-&gt;off and cover all
possible register types, instead of duplicating the same kind of check
twice for current OBJ_RELEASE arg_types (alloc_mem and ptr_to_btf_id).

For the release argument, arg_type_is_dynptr is the special case, where
we go to actual object being freed through the dynptr, so the offset of
the pointer still needs to allow fixed and variable offset and
process_dynptr_func will verify them later for the release argument case
as well.

This is not specific to ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR though, we will need to make
this exception for any future object on the stack that needs to be
released. In this sense, PTR_TO_STACK as a candidate for object on stack
argument is a special case for release offset checks, and they need to
be done by the helper releasing the object on stack.

Since the check has been lifted above all register type checks, remove
the duplicated check that is being done for PTR_TO_BTF_ID.

released. In this sense, PTR_TO_STACK as a candidate for object on stack
argument is a special case for release offset checks, and they need to
be done by the helper releasing the object on stack.

Since the check has been lifted above all register type checks, remove
the duplicated check that is being done for PTR_TO_BTF_ID.

Recently, user ringbuf support introduced a PTR_TO_DYNPTR register type
for use in callback state, because in case of user ringbuf helpers,
there is no dynptr on the stack that is passed into the callback. To
reflect such a state, a special register type was created.

However, some checks have been bypassed incorrectly during the addition
of this feature. First, for arg_type with MEM_UNINIT flag which
initialize a dynptr, they must be rejected for such register type.
Secondly, in the future, there are plans to add dynptr helpers that
operate on the dynptr itself and may change its offset and other
properties.

In all of these cases, PTR_TO_DYNPTR shouldn't be allowed to be passed
to such helpers, however the current code simply returns 0.

The rejection for helpers that release the dynptr is already handled.

For fixing this, we take a step back and rework existing code in a way
that will allow fitting in all classes of helpers and have a coherent
model for dealing with the variety of use cases in which dynptr is used.

First, for ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR, it can either be set alone or together
with a DYNPTR_TYPE_* constant that denotes the only type it accepts.

Next, helpers which initialize a dynptr use MEM_UNINIT to indicate this
fact. To make the distinction clear, use MEM_RDONLY flag to indicate
that the helper only operates on the memory pointed to by the dynptr,
not the dynptr itself. In C parlance, it would be equivalent to taking
the dynptr as a point to const argument.

When either of these flags are not present, the helper is allowed to
mutate both the dynptr itself and also the memory it points to.
Currently, the read only status of the memory is not tracked in the
dynptr, but it would be trivial to add this support inside dynptr state
of the register.

With these changes and renaming PTR_TO_DYNPTR to CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR to
better reflect its usage, it can no longer be passed to helpers that
initialize a dynptr, i.e. bpf_dynptr_from_mem, bpf_ringbuf_reserve_dynptr.

A note to reviewers is that in code that does mark_stack_slots_dynptr,
and unmark_stack_slots_dynptr, we implicitly rely on the fact that
PTR_TO_STACK reg is the only case that can reach that code path, as one
cannot pass CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR to helpers that don't set MEM_RDONLY. In
both cases such helpers won't be setting that flag.

The next patch will add a couple of selftest cases to make sure this
doesn't break.
