eBPF programs passed from userspace are using pseudo BPF_LD_IMM64 instructions to refer to process-local map_fd. Scan the program for such instructions and if FDs are valid, convert them to 'struct bpf_map' pointers which will be used by verifier to check access to maps in bpf_map_lookup/update() calls. If program passes verifier, convert pseudo BPF_LD_IMM64 into generic by dropping BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD flag. Note that eBPF interpreter is generic and knows nothing about pseudo insns.

add optional attributes for BPF_PROG_LOAD syscall: union bpf_attr { struct { ... __u32 log_level; /* verbosity level of eBPF verifier */ __u32 log_size; /* size of user buffer */ __aligned_u64 log_buf; /* user supplied 'char *buffer' */ }; }; when log_level > 0 the verifier will return its verification log in the user supplied buffer 'log_buf' which can be used by program author to analyze why verifier rejected given program. 'Understanding eBPF verifier messages' section of Documentation/networking/filter.txt provides several examples of these messages, like the program: BPF_ST_MEM(BPF_DW, BPF_REG_10, -8, 0), BPF_MOV64_REG(BPF_REG_2, BPF_REG_10), BPF_ALU64_IMM(BPF_ADD, BPF_REG_2, -8), BPF_LD_MAP_FD(BPF_REG_1, 0), BPF_CALL_FUNC(BPF_FUNC_map_lookup_elem), BPF_JMP_IMM(BPF_JEQ, BPF_REG_0, 0, 1), BPF_ST_MEM(BPF_DW, BPF_REG_0, 4, 0), BPF_EXIT_INSN(), will be rejected with the following multi-line message in log_buf: 0: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -8) = 0 1: (bf) r2 = r10 2: (07) r2 += -8 3: (b7) r1 = 0 4: (85) call 1 5: (15) if r0 == 0x0 goto pc+1 R0=map_ptr R10=fp 6: (7a) *(u64 *)(r0 +4) = 0 misaligned access off 4 size 8 The format of the output can change at any time as verifier evolves.

this patch adds all of eBPF verfier documentation and empty bpf_check() The end goal for the verifier is to statically check safety of the program. Verifier will catch: - loops - out of range jumps - unreachable instructions - invalid instructions - uninitialized register access - uninitialized stack access - misaligned stack access - out of range stack access - invalid calling convention More details in Documentation/networking/filter.txt Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

in native eBPF programs userspace is using pseudo BPF_CALL instructions which encode one of 'enum bpf_func_id' inside insn->imm field. Verifier checks that program using correct function arguments to given func_id. If all checks passed, kernel needs to fixup BPF_CALL->imm fields by replacing func_id with in-kernel function pointer. eBPF interpreter just calls the function. In-kernel eBPF users continue to use generic BPF_CALL. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

eBPF programs are similar to kernel modules. They are loaded by the user process and automatically unloaded when process exits. Each eBPF program is a safe run-to-completion set of instructions. eBPF verifier statically determines that the program terminates and is safe to execute. The following syscall wrapper can be used to load the program: int bpf_prog_load(enum bpf_prog_type prog_type, const struct bpf_insn *insns, int insn_cnt, const char *license) { union bpf_attr attr = { .prog_type = prog_type, .insns = ptr_to_u64(insns), .insn_cnt = insn_cnt, .license = ptr_to_u64(license), }; return bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, &attr, sizeof(attr)); } where 'insns' is an array of eBPF instructions and 'license' is a string that must be GPL compatible to call helper functions marked gpl_only Upon succesful load the syscall returns prog_fd. Use close(prog_fd) to unload the program. User space tests and examples follow in the later patches Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

'maps' is a generic storage of different types for sharing data between kernel and userspace. The maps are accessed from user space via BPF syscall, which has commands: - create a map with given type and attributes fd = bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size) returns fd or negative error - lookup key in a given map referenced by fd err = bpf(BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size) using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->value returns zero and stores found elem into value or negative error - create or update key/value pair in a given map err = bpf(BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size) using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->value returns zero or negative error - find and delete element by key in a given map err = bpf(BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size) using attr->map_fd, attr->key - iterate map elements (based on input key return next_key) err = bpf(BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size) using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->next_key - close(fd) deletes the map Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

BPF syscall is a multiplexor for a range of different operations on eBPF. This patch introduces syscall with single command to create a map. Next patch adds commands to access maps. 'maps' is a generic storage of different types for sharing data between kernel and userspace. Userspace example: /* this syscall wrapper creates a map with given type and attributes * and returns map_fd on success. * use close(map_fd) to delete the map */ int bpf_create_map(enum bpf_map_type map_type, int key_size, int value_size, int max_entries) { union bpf_attr attr = { .map_type = map_type, .key_size = key_size, .value_size = value_size, .max_entries = max_entries }; return bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, &attr, sizeof(attr)); } 'union bpf_attr' is backwards compatible with future extensions.

While using a MQ + NETEM setup, I had confirmation that the default timer migration ( /proc/sys/kernel/timer_migration ) is killing us. Installing this on a receiver side of a TCP_STREAM test, (NIC has 8 TX queues) : EST="est 1sec 4sec" for ETH in eth1 do tc qd del dev $ETH root 2>/dev/null tc qd add dev $ETH root handle 1: mq tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:1 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 6ms tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:2 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 8ms tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:3 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 10ms tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:4 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 12ms tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:5 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 14ms tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:6 $EST netem limit 70000 delay 16ms tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:7 $EST netem limit 80000 delay 18ms tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:8 $EST netem limit 90000 delay 20ms done We can see that timers get migrated into a single cpu, presumably idle at the time timers are set up. Then all qdisc dequeues run from this cpu and huge lock contention happens.

Tom Herbert says: ==================== net: Eliminate gso_send_check gso_send_check presents a lot of complexity for what it is being used for. It seems that there are only two cases where it might be effective: TCP and UFO paths. In these cases, the gso_send_check function initializes the TCP or UDP checksum respectively to the pseudo header checksum so that the checksum computation is appropriately offloaded or computed in the gso_segment functions. The gso_send_check functions are only called from dev.c in skb_mac_gso_segment when ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (which seems very unlikely in TCP case). We can move the logic of this into the respective gso_segment functions where the checksum is initialized if ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. With the above cases handled, gso_send_check is no longer needed, so we can remove all uses of it and the fields in the offload callbacks. With this change, ip_summed in the skb should be preserved though all the layers of gso_segment calls. In follow-on patches, we may be able to remove the check setup code in tcp_gso_segment if we can guarantee that ip_summed will always be CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (verify all paths and probably add an assert in tcp_gro_segment). Tested these patches by: - netperf TCP_STREAM test with GSO enabled - Forced ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL with above - Ran UDP_RR with 10000 request size over GRE tunnel. This exercised UFO path. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The send_check logic was only interesting in cases of TCP offload and UDP UFO where the checksum needed to be initialized to the pseudo header checksum. Now we've moved that logic into the related gso_segment functions so gso_send_check is no longer needed. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In tcp_v[46]_gso_send_check the TCP checksum is initialized to the pseudo header checksum using __tcp_v[46]_send_check. We can move this logic into new tcp[46]_gso_segment functions to be done when ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL should be the common case, possibly always true when taking GSO path).

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: "Here is a quick pull request primarily meant to address the deconfig fallout from changing SCSI_NETLINK from being used via 'select' to being used via 'depends'. I applied a set of 5 patches written by Michal Marek, and then I carefully audited all of the remaining config files, basically: 1) I scanned every arch config file, and if it mentioned CONFIG_INET or CONFIG_UNIX, I made sure it had CONFIG_NET=y 2) After that, I scanned every arch config file, and if it did not have CONFIG_NET=y I made sure it did not reference any networking config options.

- fix BPF_LD|ABS|IND from negative offsets: make sure to sign extend lower 32 bits in 64-bit register before calling C helpers from JITed code, otherwise 'int k' argument of bpf_internal_load_pointer_neg_helper() function will be added as large unsigned integer, causing packet size check to trigger and abort the program. It's worth noting that JITed code for 'A = A op K' will affect upper 32 bits differently depending whether K is simm13 or not. Since small constants are sign extended, whereas large constants are stored in temp register and zero extended. That is ok and we don't have to pay a penalty of sign extension for every sethi, since all classic BPF instructions have 32-bit semantics and we only need to set correct upper bits when transitioning from JITed code into C. - though instructions 'A &= 0' and 'A *= 0' are odd, JIT compiler should not optimize them out Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

blk-mq uses percpu_ref for its usage counter which tracks the number of in-flight commands and used to synchronously drain the queue on freeze. percpu_ref shutdown takes measureable wallclock time as it involves a sched RCU grace period. This means that draining a blk-mq takes measureable wallclock time. One would think that this shouldn't matter as queue shutdown should be a rare event which takes place asynchronously w.r.t. userland. Unfortunately, SCSI probing involves synchronously setting up and then tearing down a lot of request_queues back-to-back for non-existent LUNs. This means that SCSI probing may take more than ten seconds when scsi-mq is used. This will be properly fixed by implementing a mechanism to keep q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode till genhd registration; however, that involves rather big updates to percpu_ref which is difficult to apply late in the devel cycle (v3.17-rc6 at the moment). As a stop-gap measure till the proper fix can be implemented in the next cycle, this patch introduces __percpu_ref_kill_expedited() and makes blk_mq_freeze_queue() use it. This is heavy-handed but should work for testing the experimental SCSI blk-mq implementation.

The "by8" implementation introduced in commit 22cddcc7 ("crypto: aes - AES CTR x86_64 "by8" AVX optimization") is failing crypto tests as it handles counter block overflows differently. It only accounts the right most 32 bit as a counter -- not the whole block as all other implementations do. This makes it fail the cryptomgr test #4 that specifically tests this corner case.

If the ccp is built as a built-in module, then ccp-crypto (whether built as a module or a built-in module) will be able to load and it will register its crypto algorithms. If the system does not have a CCP this will result in -ENODEV being returned whenever a command is attempted to be queued by the registered crypto algorithms. Add an API, ccp_present(), that checks for the presence of a CCP on the system. The ccp-crypto module can use this to determine if it should register it's crypto alogorithms.

Pull sound fixes from Takashi Iwai: "One fix is about a buggy computation in PCM API function Clemens spotted out, but the impact must be really small as no one really uses it in user-space side. The rest are a trivial fix for a HD-audio model and a USB-audio device-specific regression fix, so all look fairly safe to apply" * tag 'sound-3.17-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound: ALSA: snd-usb-caiaq: Fix LED commands for Kore controller ALSA: pcm: fix fifo_size frame calculation ALSA: hda - Add fixup model name lookup for Lemote A1205

Pull final block fixes from Jens Axboe: "This week and last we've been fixing some corner cases related to blk-mq, mostly. I ended up pulling most of that out of for-linus yesterday, which is why the branch looks fresh. The rest were postponed for 3.18. This pull request contains: - Fix from Christoph, avoiding a stack overflow when FUA insertion would recursive infinitely. - Fix from David Hildenbrand on races between the timeout handler and uninitialized requests. Fixes a real issue that virtio_blk has run into. - A few fixes from me: - Ensure that request deadline/timeout is ordered before the request is marked as started. - A potential oops on out-of-memory, when we scale the queue depth of the device and retry. - A hang fix on requeue from SCSI, where the hardware queue would be stopped when we attempt to re-run it (and hence nothing would happen, stalling progress). - A fix for commit 2da78092, where the cleanup path was moved to RCU, but a debug might_sleep() was inadvertently left in the code. This causes warnings for people" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: genhd: fix leftover might_sleep() in blk_free_devt() blk-mq: use blk_mq_start_hw_queues() when running requeue work blk-mq: fix potential oops on out-of-memory in __blk_mq_alloc_rq_maps() blk-mq: avoid infinite recursion with the FUA flag blk-mq: Avoid race condition with uninitialized requests blk-mq: request deadline must be visible before marking rq as started
