    bpf: add program side {rd, wr}only support for maps · 591fe988
    Daniel Borkmann authored
    This work adds two new map creation flags BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG
    and BPF_F_WRONLY_PROG in order to allow for read-only or
    write-only BPF maps from a BPF program side.
    
    Today we have BPF_F_RDONLY and BPF_F_WRONLY, but this only
    applies to system call side, meaning the BPF program has full
    read/write access to the map as usual while bpf(2) calls with
    map fd can either only read or write into the map depending
    on the flags. BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG and BPF_F_WRONLY_PROG allows
    for the exact opposite such that verifier is going to reject
    program loads if write into a read-only map or a read into a
    write-only map is detected. For read-only map case also some
    helpers are forbidden for programs that would alter the map
    state such as map deletion, update, etc. As opposed to the two
    BPF_F_RDONLY / BPF_F_WRONLY flags, BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG as well
    as BPF_F_WRONLY_PROG really do correspond to the map lifetime.
    
    We've enabled this generic map extension to various non-special
    maps holding normal user data: array, hash, lru, lpm, local
    storage, queue and stack. Further generic map types could be
    followed up in future depending on use-case. Main use case
    here is to forbid writes into .rodata map values from verifier
    side.
