      bpf: Use separate RCU callbacks for freeing selem · e768e3c5
      Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi authored 
      Martin suggested that instead of using a byte in the hole (which he has
a use for in his future patch) in bpf_local_storage_elem, we can
dispatch a different call_rcu callback based on whether we need to free
special fields in bpf_local_storage_elem data. The free path, described
in commit 9db44fdd ("bpf: Support kptrs in local storage maps"),
only waits for call_rcu callbacks when there are special (kptrs, etc.)
fields in the map value, hence it is necessary that we only access
smap in this case.

Therefore, dispatch different RCU callbacks based on the BPF map has a
valid btf_record, which dereference and use smap's btf_record only when
it is valid.

      Alexei Starovoitov says:

====================
v4->v5:
fix typos, add acks.

v3->v4:
- patch 3 got much cleaner after BPF_KPTR_RCU was removed as suggested by David.

- make KF_RCU stronger and require that bpf program checks for NULL
before passing such pointers into kfunc. The prog has to do that anyway
to access fields and it aligns with BTF_TYPE_SAFE_RCU allowlist.

- New patch 6: refactor RCU enforcement in the verifier.
The patches 2,3,6 are part of one feature.
The 2 and 3 alone are incomplete, since RCU pointers are barely useful
without bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock in GCC compiled kernel.
Even if GCC lands support for btf_type_tag today it will take time
to mandate that version for kernel builds. Hence go with allow list
approach. See patch 6 for details.
This allows to start strict enforcement of TRUSTED | UNTRUSTED
in one part of PTR_TO_BTF_ID accesses.
One step closer to KF_TRUSTED_ARGS by default.

v2->v3:
- Instead of requiring bpf progs to tag fields with __kptr_rcu
teach the verifier to infer RCU properties based on the type.
BPF_KPTR_RCU becomes kernel internal type of struct btf_field.
- Add patch 2 to tag cgroups and dfl_cgrp as trusted.
That bug was spotted by BPF CI on clang compiler kernels,
since patch 3 is doing:
static bool in_rcu_cs(struct bpf_verifier_env *env)
{
        return env->cur_state->active_rcu_lock || !env->prog->aux->sleepable;
}
which makes all non-sleepable programs behave like they have implicit
rcu_read_lock around them. Which is the case in practice.
It was fine on gcc compiled kernels where task->cgroup deference was producing
PTR_TO_BTF_ID, but on clang compiled kernels task->cgroup deference was
producing PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_RCU | MAYBE_NULL, which is more correct,
but selftests were failing. Patch 2 fixes this discrepancy.
With few more patches like patch 2 we can make KF_TRUSTED_ARGS default
for kfuncs and helpers.
- Add comment in selftest patch 5 that it's verifier only check.

v1->v2:
Instead of agressively allow dereferenced kptr_rcu pointers into KF_TRUSTED_ARGS
kfuncs only allow them into KF_RCU funcs.
The KF_RCU flag is a weaker version of KF_TRUSTED_ARGS. The kfuncs marked with
KF_RCU expect either PTR_TRUSTED or MEM_RCU arguments. The verifier guarantees
that the objects are valid and there is no use-after-free, but the pointers
maybe NULL and pointee object's reference count could have reached zero, hence
kfuncs must do != NULL check and consider refcnt==0 case when accessing such
arguments.
No changes in patch 1.
Patches 2,3,4 adjusted with above behavior.

v1:
The __kptr_ref turned out to be too limited, since any "trusted" pointer access
requires bpf_kptr_xchg() which is impractical when the same pointer needs
to be dereferenced by multiple cpus.
The __kptr "untrusted" only access isn't very useful in practice.
Rename __kptr to __kptr_untrusted with eventual goal to deprecate it,
and rename __kptr_ref to __kptr, since that looks to be more common use of kptrs.
Introduce __kptr_rcu that can be directly dereferenced and used similar
to native kernel C code.
Once bpf_cpumask and task_struct kfuncs are converted to observe RCU GP
when refcnt goes to zero, both __kptr and __kptr_untrusted can be deprecated
and __kptr_rcu can become the only __kptr tag.

      bpf: Refactor RCU enforcement in the verifier. · 6fcd486b
      Alexei Starovoitov authored 
      bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock() are only available in clang compiled kernels. Lack
of such key mechanism makes it impossible for sleepable bpf programs to use RCU
pointers.

Allow bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock() in GCC compiled kernels (though GCC doesn't
support btf_type_tag yet) and allowlist certain field dereferences in important
data structures like tast_struct, cgroup, socket that are used by sleepable
programs either as RCU pointer or full trusted pointer (which is valid outside
of RCU CS). Use BTF_TYPE_SAFE_RCU and BTF_TYPE_SAFE_TRUSTED macros for such
tagging. They will be removed once GCC supports btf_type_tag.

With that refactor check_ptr_to_btf_access(). Make it strict in enforcing
PTR_TRUSTED and PTR_UNTRUSTED while deprecating old PTR_TO_BTF_ID without
modifier flags. There is a chance that this strict enforcement might break
existing programs (especially on GCC compiled kernels), but this cleanup has to
start sooner than later. Note PTR_TO_CTX access still yields old deprecated
PTR_TO_BTF_ID. Once it's converted to strict PTR_TRUSTED or PTR_UNTRUSTED the
kfuncs and helpers will be able to default to KF_TRUSTED_ARGS. KF_RCU will
remain as a weaker version of KF_TRUSTED_ARGS where obj refcnt could be 0.

Adjust rcu_read_lock selftest to run on gcc and clang compiled kernels.

      bpf: Introduce kptr_rcu. · 20c09d92
      Alexei Starovoitov authored 
      The life time of certain kernel structures like 'struct cgroup' is protected by RCU.
Hence it's safe to dereference them directly from __kptr tagged pointers in bpf maps.
The resulting pointer is MEM_RCU and can be passed to kfuncs that expect KF_RCU.
Derefrence of other kptr-s returns PTR_UNTRUSTED.

For example:
struct map_value {
   struct cgroup __kptr *cgrp;
};

SEC("tp_btf/cgroup_mkdir")
int BPF_PROG(test_cgrp_get_ancestors, struct cgroup *cgrp_arg, const char *path)
{
  struct cgroup *cg, *cg2;

  cg = bpf_cgroup_acquire(cgrp_arg); // cg is PTR_TRUSTED and ref_obj_id > 0
  bpf_kptr_xchg(&v->cgrp, cg);

  cg2 = v->cgrp; // This is new feature introduced by this patch.
  // cg2 is PTR_MAYBE_NULL | MEM_RCU.
  // When cg2 != NULL, it's a valid cgroup, but its percpu_ref could be zero

  if (cg2)
    bpf_cgroup_ancestor(cg2, level); // safe to do.
}

      bpf: Mark cgroups and dfl_cgrp fields as trusted. · 8d093b4e
      Alexei Starovoitov authored 
      bpf programs sometimes do:
bpf_cgrp_storage_get(&map, task->cgroups->dfl_cgrp, ...);
It is safe to do, because cgroups->dfl_cgrp pointer is set diring init and
never changes. The task->cgroups is also never NULL. It is also set during init
and will change when task switches cgroups. For any trusted task pointer
dereference of cgroups and dfl_cgrp should yield trusted pointers. The verifier
wasn't aware of this. Hence in gcc compiled kernels task->cgroups dereference
was producing PTR_TO_BTF_ID without modifiers while in clang compiled kernels
the verifier recognizes __rcu tag in cgroups field and produces
PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_RCU | MAYBE_NULL.
Tag cgroups and dfl_cgrp as trusted to equalize clang and gcc behavior.
When GCC supports btf_type_tag such tagging will done directly in the type.

      bpf: Rename __kptr_ref -> __kptr and __kptr -> __kptr_untrusted. · 03b77e17
      Alexei Starovoitov authored 
      __kptr meant to store PTR_UNTRUSTED kernel pointers inside bpf maps.
The concept felt useful, but didn't get much traction,
since bpf_rdonly_cast() was added soon after and bpf programs received
a simpler way to access PTR_UNTRUSTED kernel pointers
without going through restrictive __kptr usage.

Rename __kptr_ref -> __kptr and __kptr -> __kptr_untrusted to indicate
its intended usage.
The main goal of __kptr_untrusted was to read/write such pointers
directly while bpf_kptr_xchg was a mechanism to access refcnted
kernel pointers. The next patch will allow RCU protected __kptr access
with direct read. At that point __kptr_untrusted will be deprecated.

      selftests/bpf: Add -Wuninitialized flag to bpf prog flags · ec97a76f
      Dave Marchevsky authored 
      Per C99 standard [0], Section 6.7.8, Paragraph 10:

  If an object that has automatic storage duration is not initialized
  explicitly, its value is indeterminate.

And in the same document, in appendix "J.2 Undefined behavior":

  The behavior is undefined in the following circumstances:
  [...]
  The value of an object with automatic storage duration is used while
  it is indeterminate (6.2.4, 6.7.8, 6.8).

This means that use of an uninitialized stack variable is undefined
behavior, and therefore that clang can choose to do a variety of scary
things, such as not generating bytecode for "bunch of useful code" in
the below example:

  void some_func()
  {
    int i;
    if (!i)
      return;
    // bunch of useful code
  }

To add insult to injury, if some_func above is a helper function for
some BPF program, clang can choose to not generate an "exit" insn,
causing verifier to fail with "last insn is not an exit or jmp". Going
from that verification failure to the root cause of uninitialized use
is certain to be frustrating.

This patch adds -Wuninitialized to the cflags for selftest BPF progs and
fixes up existing instances of uninitialized use.
