selftests/bpf: tests for using dynptrs to parse skb and xdp buffers
Test skb and xdp dynptr functionality in the following ways:
1) progs/test_cls_redirect_dynptr.c
* Rewrite "progs/test_cls_redirect.c" test to use dynptrs to parse
skb data
* This is a great example of how dynptrs can be used to simplify a
lot of the parsing logic for non-statically known values.
When measuring the user + system time between the original version
vs. using dynptrs, and averaging the time for 10 runs (using
"time ./test_progs -t cls_redirect"):
original version: 0.092 sec
with dynptrs: 0.078 sec
2) progs/test_xdp_dynptr.c
* Rewrite "progs/test_xdp.c" test to use dynptrs to parse xdp data
When measuring the user + system time between the original version
vs. using dynptrs, and averaging the time for 10 runs (using
"time ./test_progs -t xdp_attach"):
original version: 0.118 sec
with dynptrs: 0.094 sec
3) progs/test_l4lb_noinline_dynptr.c
* Rewrite "progs/test_l4lb_noinline.c" test to use dynptrs to parse
skb data
When measuring the user + system time between the original version
vs. using dynptrs, and averaging the time for 10 runs (using
"time ./test_progs -t l4lb_all"):
original version: 0.062 sec
with dynptrs: 0.081 sec
For number of processed verifier instructions:
original version: 6268 insns
with dynptrs: 2588 insns
4) progs/test_parse_tcp_hdr_opt_dynptr.c
* Add sample code for parsing tcp hdr opt lookup using dynptrs.
This logic is lifted from a real-world use case of packet parsing
in katran [0], a layer 4 load balancer. The original version
"progs/test_parse_tcp_hdr_opt.c" (not using dynptrs) is included
here as well, for comparison.
When measuring the user + system time between the original version
vs. using dynptrs, and averaging the time for 10 runs (using
"time ./test_progs -t parse_tcp_hdr_opt"):
original version: 0.031 sec
with dynptrs: 0.045 sec
5) progs/dynptr_success.c
* Add test case "test_skb_readonly" for testing attempts at writes
on a prog type with read-only skb ctx.
* Add "test_dynptr_skb_data" for testing that bpf_dynptr_data isn't
supported for skb progs.
6) progs/dynptr_fail.c
* Add test cases "skb_invalid_data_slice{1,2,3,4}" and
"xdp_invalid_data_slice{1,2}" for testing that helpers that modify the
underlying packet buffer automatically invalidate the associated
data slice.
* Add test cases "skb_invalid_ctx" and "xdp_invalid_ctx" for testing
that prog types that do not support bpf_dynptr_from_skb/xdp don't
have access to the API.
* Add test case "dynptr_slice_var_len{1,2}" for testing that
variable-sized len can't be passed in to bpf_dynptr_slice
* Add test case "skb_invalid_slice_write" for testing that writes to a
read-only data slice are rejected by the verifier.
* Add test case "data_slice_out_of_bounds_skb" for testing that
writes to an area outside the slice are rejected.
* Add test case "invalid_slice_rdwr_rdonly" for testing that prog
types that don't allow writes to packet data don't accept any calls
to bpf_dynptr_slice_rdwr.
