Given libbpf is a generic library and not restricted to x86-64 only, the compiler barrier in bpf_perf_event_read_simple() after fetching the head needs to be replaced with smp_rmb() at minimum. Also, writing out the tail we should use WRITE_ONCE() to avoid store tearing. Now that we have the logic in place in ring_buffer_read_head() and ring_buffer_write_tail() helper also used by perf tool which would select the correct and best variant for a given architecture (e.g. x86-64 can avoid CPU barriers entirely), make use of these in order to fix bpf_perf_event_read_simple().

Currently, on x86-64, perf uses LFENCE and MFENCE (rmb() and mb(), respectively) when processing events from the perf ring buffer which is unnecessarily expensive as we can do more lightweight in particular given this is critical fast-path in perf. According to Peter rmb()/mb() were added back then via a94d342b ("tools/perf: Add required memory barriers") at a time where kernel still supported chips that needed it, but nowadays support for these has been ditched completely, therefore we can fix them up as well. While for x86-64, replacing rmb() and mb() with smp_*() variants would result in just a compiler barrier for the former and LOCK + ADD for the latter (__sync_synchronize() uses slower MFENCE by the way), Peter suggested we can use smp_{load_acquire,store_release}() instead for architectures where its implementation doesn't resolve in slower smp_mb(). Thus, e.g. in x86-64 we would be able to avoid CPU barrier entirely due to TSO. For architectures where the latter needs to use smp_mb() e.g. on arm, we stick to cheaper smp_rmb() variant for fetching the head. This work adds helpers ring_buffer_read_head() and ring_buffer_write_tail() for tools infrastructure that either switches to smp_load_acquire() for architectures where it is cheaper or uses READ_ONCE() + smp_rmb() barrier for those where it's not in order to fetch the data_head from the perf control page, and it uses smp_store_release() to write the data_tail. Latter is smp_mb() + WRITE_ONCE() combination or a cheaper variant if architecture allows for it. Those that rely on smp_rmb() and smp_mb() can further improve performance in a follow up step by implementing the two under tools/arch/*/include/asm/barrier.h such that they don't have to fallback to rmb() and mb() in tools/include/asm/barrier.h. Switch perf to use ring_buffer_read_head() and ring_buffer_write_tail() so it can make use of the optimizations. Later, we convert libbpf as well to use the same helpers. Side note [0]: the topic has been raised of whether one could simply use the C11 gcc builtins [1] for the smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() instead: __atomic_load_n(ptr, __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE); __atomic_store_n(ptr, val, __ATOMIC_RELEASE); Kernel and (presumably) tooling shipped along with the kernel has a minimum requirement of being able to build with gcc-4.6 and the latter does not have C11 builtins. While generally the C11 memory models don't align with the kernel's, the C11 load-acquire and store-release alone /could/ suffice, however. Issue is that this is implementation dependent on how the load-acquire and store-release is done by the compiler and the mapping of supported compilers must align to be compatible with the kernel's implementation, and thus needs to be verified/tracked on a case by case basis whether they match (unless an architecture uses them also from kernel side). The implementations for smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() in this patch have been adapted from the kernel side ones to have a concrete and compatible mapping in place.

The previous patch implemented a bpf queue/stack maps that provided the peek/pop/push functions. There is not a direct relationship between those functions and the current maps syscalls, hence a new MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_ELEM syscall is added, this is mapped to the pop operation in the queue/stack maps and it is still to implement in other kind of maps.

Queue/stack maps implement a FIFO/LIFO data storage for ebpf programs. These maps support peek, pop and push operations that are exposed to eBPF programs through the new bpf_map[peek/pop/push] helpers. Those operations are exposed to userspace applications through the already existing syscalls in the following way: BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM -> peek BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_ELEM -> pop BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM -> push Queue/stack maps are implemented using a buffer, tail and head indexes, hence BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC is not supported. As opposite to other maps, queue and stack do not use RCU for protecting maps values, the bpf_map[peek/pop] have a ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MAP_VALUE argument that is a pointer to a memory zone where to save the value of a map. Basically the same as ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM, but the size has not be passed as an extra argument. Our main motivation for implementing queue/stack maps was to keep track of a pool of elements, like network ports in a SNAT, however we forsee other use cases, like for exampling saving last N kernel events in a map and then analysing from userspace.

Currently sk_msg_used_element is only called in zerocopy context where cork is not possible and if this case happens we fallback to copy mode. However the helper is more useful if it works in all contexts. This patch resolved the case where if end == head indicating a full or empty ring the helper always reports an empty ring. To fix this add a test for the full ring case to avoid reporting a full ring has 0 elements. This additional functionality will be used in the next patches from recvmsg context where end = head with a full ring is a valid case.

When converting sockmap to new skmsg generic data structures we missed that the recvmsg handler did not correctly use sg.size and instead was using individual elements length. The result is if a sock is closed with outstanding data we omit the call to sk_mem_uncharge() and can get the warning below. [ 66.728282] WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 5783 at net/core/stream.c:206 sk_stream_kill_queues+0x1fa/0x210 To fix this correct the redirect handler to xfer the size along with the scatterlist and also decrement the size from the recvmsg handler. Now when a sock is closed the remaining 'size' will be decremented with sk_mem_uncharge().

Program translation stage checks that program can be offloaded to the netdev which was passed during the load (bpf_attr->prog_ifindex). After program sharing was introduced, however, the netdev on which program is loaded can theoretically be different, and therefore we should recheck the program size and max stack size at load time. This was found by code inspection, AFAIK today all vNICs have identical caps.

Atomic operations on the NFP are currently always in big endian. The driver keeps track of regions of memory storing atomic values and byte swaps them accordingly. There are corner cases where the map values may be initialized before the driver knows they are used as atomic counters. This can happen either when the datapath is performing the update and the stack contents are unknown or when map is updated before the program which will use it for atomic values is loaded. To avoid situation where user initializes the value to 0 1 2 3 and then after loading a program which uses the word as an atomic counter starts reading 3 2 1 0 - only allow atomic counters to be initialized to endian-neutral values. For updates from the datapath the stack information may not be as precise, so just allow initializing such values to 0. Example code which would break: struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") rxcnt = { .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH, .key_size = sizeof(__u32), .value_size = sizeof(__u64), .max_entries = 1, }; int xdp_prog1() { __u64 nonzeroval = 3; __u32 key = 0; __u64 *value; value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&rxcnt, &key); if (!value) bpf_map_update_elem(&rxcnt, &key, &nonzeroval, BPF_ANY); else __sync_fetch_and_add(value, 1); return XDP_PASS; } $ offload bpftool map dump key: 00 00 00 00 value: 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 should be: $ offload bpftool map dump key: 00 00 00 00 value: 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Reported-by: David Beckett <david.beckett@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Reviewed-by: Quentin Monnet <quentin.monnet@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

Make global symbols in libbpf DSO hidden by default with -fvisibility=hidden and export symbols that are part of ABI explicitly with __attribute__((visibility("default"))). This is common practice that should prevent from accidentally exporting a symbol, that is not supposed to be a part of ABI what, in turn, improves both libbpf developer- and user-experiences. See [1] for more details. Export control becomes more important since more and more projects use libbpf. The patch doesn't export a bunch of netlink related functions since as agreed in [2] they'll be reworked. That doesn't break bpftool since bpftool links libbpf statically.

David Ahern says: ==================== net: Kernel side filtering for route dumps Implement kernel side filtering of route dumps by protocol (e.g., which routing daemon installed the route), route type (e.g., unicast), table id and nexthop device. iproute2 has been doing this filtering in userspace for years; pushing the filters to the kernel side reduces the amount of data the kernel sends and reduces wasted cycles on both sides processing unwanted data. These initial options provide a huge improvement for efficiently examining routes on large scale systems. v2 - better handling of requests for a specific table. Rather than walking the hash of all tables, lookup the specific table and dump it - refactor mr_rtm_dumproute moving the loop over the table into a helper that can be invoked directly - add hook to return NLM_F_DUMP_FILTERED in DONE message to ensure it is returned even when the dump returns nothing ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

These amount to the low hanging fruit, yet a huge improvement, for dumping routes. ip_valid_fib_dump_req is called with RTNL held, so __dev_get_by_index can be used to look up the device index without taking a reference.

With dump filtering we need a way to ensure the NLM_F_DUMP_FILTERED flag is set on a message back to the user if the data returned is influenced by some input attributes. Normally this can be done as messages are added to the skb, but if the filter results in no data being returned, the user could be confused as to why. This patch adds answer_flags to the netlink_callback allowing dump handlers to set the NLM_F_DUMP_FILTERED at a minimum in the NLMSG_DONE message ensuring the flag gets back to the user. The netlink_callback space is initialized to 0 via a memset in __netlink_dump_start, so init of the new answer_flags is covered. Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
