      libbpf: Make global data internal arrays mmap()-able, if possible · 7fe74b43
      Andrii Nakryiko authored
      Add detection of BPF_F_MMAPABLE flag support for arrays and add it as an extra
      flag to internal global data maps, if supported by kernel. This allows users
      to memory-map global data and use it without BPF map operations, greatly
      simplifying user experience.

      bpf: Add mmap() support for BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY · fc970227
      Andrii Nakryiko authored
      Add ability to memory-map contents of BPF array map. This is extremely useful
      for working with BPF global data from userspace programs. It allows to avoid
      typical bpf_map_{lookup,update}_elem operations, improving both performance
      and usability.
      
      There had to be special considerations for map freezing, to avoid having
      writable memory view into a frozen map. To solve this issue, map freezing and
      mmap-ing is happening under mutex now:
        - if map is already frozen, no writable mapping is allowed;
        - if map has writable memory mappings active (accounted in map->writecnt),
          map freezing will keep failing with -EBUSY;
        - once number of writable memory mappings drops to zero, map freezing can be
          performed again.
      
      Only non-per-CPU plain arrays are supported right now. Maps with spinlocks
      can't be memory mapped either.
      
      For BPF_F_MMAPABLE array, memory allocation has to be done through vmalloc()
      to be mmap()'able. We also need to make sure that array data memory is
      page-sized and page-aligned, so we over-allocate memory in such a way that
      struct bpf_array is at the end of a single page of memory with array->value
      being aligned with the start of the second page. On deallocation we need to
      accomodate this memory arrangement to free vmalloc()'ed memory correctly.
      
      One important consideration regarding how memory-mapping subsystem functions.
      Memory-mapping subsystem provides few optional callbacks, among them open()
      and close().  close() is called for each memory region that is unmapped, so
      that users can decrease their reference counters and free up resources, if
      necessary. open() is *almost* symmetrical: it's called for each memory region
      that is being mapped, **except** the very first one. So bpf_map_mmap does
      initial refcnt bump, while open() will do any extra ones after that. Thus
      number of close() calls is equal to number of open() calls plus one more.

      bpf: Convert bpf_prog refcnt to atomic64_t · 85192dbf
      Andrii Nakryiko authored
      Similarly to bpf_map's refcnt/usercnt, convert bpf_prog's refcnt to atomic64
      and remove artificial 32k limit. This allows to make bpf_prog's refcounting
      non-failing, simplifying logic of users of bpf_prog_add/bpf_prog_inc.
      
      Validated compilation by running allyesconfig kernel build.

      bpf: Switch bpf_map ref counter to atomic64_t so bpf_map_inc() never fails · 1e0bd5a0
      Andrii Nakryiko authored
      92117d84 ("bpf: fix refcnt overflow") turned refcounting of bpf_map into
      potentially failing operation, when refcount reaches BPF_MAX_REFCNT limit
      (32k). Due to using 32-bit counter, it's possible in practice to overflow
      refcounter and make it wrap around to 0, causing erroneous map free, while
      there are still references to it, causing use-after-free problems.
      
      But having a failing refcounting operations are problematic in some cases. One
      example is mmap() interface. After establishing initial memory-mapping, user
      is allowed to arbitrarily map/remap/unmap parts of mapped memory, arbitrarily
      splitting it into multiple non-contiguous regions. All this happening without
      any control from the users of mmap subsystem. Rather mmap subsystem sends
      notifications to original creator of memory mapping through open/close
      callbacks, which are optionally specified during initial memory mapping
      creation. These callbacks are used to maintain accurate refcount for bpf_map
      (see next patch in this series). The problem is that open() callback is not
      supposed to fail, because memory-mapped resource is set up and properly
      referenced. This is posing a problem for using memory-mapping with BPF maps.
      
      One solution to this is to maintain separate refcount for just memory-mappings
      and do single bpf_map_inc/bpf_map_put when it goes from/to zero, respectively.
      There are similar use cases in current work on tcp-bpf, necessitating extra
      counter as well. This seems like a rather unfortunate and ugly solution that
      doesn't scale well to various new use cases.
      
      Another approach to solve this is to use non-failing refcount_t type, which
      uses 32-bit counter internally, but, once reaching overflow state at UINT_MAX,
      stays there. This utlimately causes memory leak, but prevents use after free.
      
      But given refcounting is not the most performance-critical operation with BPF
      maps (it's not used from running BPF program code), we can also just switch to
      64-bit counter that can't overflow in practice, potentially disadvantaging
      32-bit platforms a tiny bit. This simplifies semantics and allows above
      described scenarios to not worry about failing refcount increment operation.
      
      In terms of struct bpf_map size, we are still good and use the same amount of
      space:
      
      BEFORE (3 cache lines, 8 bytes of padding at the end):

      This patch, while modifying all users of bpf_map_inc, also cleans up its
      interface to match bpf_map_put with separate operations for bpf_map_inc and
      bpf_map_inc_with_uref (to match bpf_map_put and bpf_map_put_with_uref,
      respectively). Also, given there are no users of bpf_map_inc_not_zero
      specifying uref=true, remove uref flag and default to uref=false internally.
