When multiple programs are attached, each program receives the return value from the previous program on the stack and the last program provides the return value to the attached function. The fmod_ret bpf programs are run after the fentry programs and before the fexit programs. The original function is only called if all the fmod_ret programs return 0 to avoid any unintended side-effects. The success value, i.e. 0 is not currently configurable but can be made so where user-space can specify it at load time. For example: int func_to_be_attached(int a, int b) { <--- do_fentry do_fmod_ret: <update ret by calling fmod_ret> if (ret != 0) goto do_fexit; original_function: <side_effects_happen_here> } <--- do_fexit The fmod_ret program attached to this function can be defined as: SEC("fmod_ret/func_to_be_attached") int BPF_PROG(func_name, int a, int b, int ret) { // This will skip the original function logic. return 1; } The first fmod_ret program is passed 0 in its return argument.

As we need to introduce a third type of attachment for trampolines, the flattened signature of arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline gets even more complicated. Refactor the prog and count argument to arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline to use bpf_tramp_progs to simplify the addition and accounting for new attachment types.

Add detection of out-of-tree built vmlinux image for the purpose of VMLINUX_BTF detection. According to Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.rst, O takes precedence over KBUILD_OUTPUT.

When CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is enabled, the two kallsyms linking steps spend time collecting and writing the dwarf sections to the temporary output files. kallsyms does not need this information, and leaving it off halves their linking time. This is especially noticeable without CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED. The BTF linking stage, however, does still need those details. Refactor the BTF and kallsyms generation stages slightly for more regularized temporary names. Skip debug during kallsyms links. Additionally move "info BTF" to the correct place since commit 8959e392 ("kbuild: Parameterize kallsyms generation and correct reporting"), which added "info LD ..." to vmlinux_link calls. For a full debug info build with BTF, my link time goes from 1m06s to 0m54s, saving about 12 seconds, or 18%.

Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== Convert BPF-related UAPI constants, currently defined as #define macro, into anonymous enums. This has no difference in terms of usage of such constants in C code (they are still could be used in all the compile-time contexts that `#define`s can), but they are recorded as part of DWARF type info, and subsequently get recorded as part of kernel's BTF type info. This allows those constants to be emitted as part of vmlinux.h auto-generated header file and be used from BPF programs. Which is especially convenient for all kinds of BPF helper flags and makes CO-RE BPF programs nicer to write. libbpf's btf_dump logic currently assumes enum values are signed 32-bit values, but that doesn't match a typical case, so switch it to emit unsigned values. Once BTF encoding of BTF_KIND_ENUM is extended to capture signedness properly, this will be made more flexible. As an immediate validation of the approach, runqslower's copy of BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU #define is dropped in favor of its enum variant from vmlinux.h. v2->v3: - convert only constants usable from BPF programs (BPF helper flags, map create flags, etc) (Alexei); v1->v2: - fix up btf_dump test to use max 32-bit unsigned value instead of negative one. ==================== Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

Currently, BTF_KIND_ENUM type doesn't record whether enum values should be interpreted as signed or unsigned. In Linux, most enums are unsigned, though, so interpreting them as unsigned matches real world better. Change btf_dump test case to test maximum 32-bit value, instead of negative value.

Switch BPF UAPI constants, previously defined as #define macro, to anonymous enum values. This preserves constants values and behavior in expressions, but has added advantaged of being captured as part of DWARF and, subsequently, BTF type info. Which, in turn, greatly improves usefulness of generated vmlinux.h for BPF applications, as it will not require BPF users to copy/paste various flags and constants, which are frequently used with BPF helpers. Only those constants that are used/useful from BPF program side are converted.

BPF programs may want to know whether an skb is gso. The canonical answer is skb_is_gso(skb), which tests that gso_size != 0. Expose this field in the same manner as gso_segs. That field itself is not a sufficient signal, as the comment in skb_shared_info makes clear: gso_segs may be zero, e.g., from dodgy sources. Also prepare net/bpf/test_run for upcoming BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN tests of the feature.

Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== This patch series adds bpf_link abstraction, analogous to libbpf's already existing bpf_link abstraction. This formalizes and makes more uniform existing bpf_link-like BPF program link (attachment) types (raw tracepoint and tracing links), which are FD-based objects that are automatically detached when last file reference is closed. These types of BPF program links are switched to using bpf_link framework. FD-based bpf_link approach provides great safety guarantees, by ensuring there is not going to be an abandoned BPF program attached, if user process suddenly exits or forgets to clean up after itself. This is especially important in production environment and is what all the recent new BPF link types followed. One of the previously existing inconveniences of FD-based approach, though, was the scenario in which user process wants to install BPF link and exit, but let attached BPF program run. Now, with bpf_link abstraction in place, it's easy to support pinning links in BPF FS, which is done as part of the same patch #1. This allows FD-based BPF program links to survive exit of a user process and original file descriptor being closed, by creating an file entry in BPF FS. This provides great safety by default, with simple way to opt out for cases where it's needed. Corresponding libbpf APIs are added in the same patch set, as well as selftests for this functionality. Other types of BPF program attachments (XDP, cgroup, perf_event, etc) are going to be converted in subsequent patches to follow similar approach. v1->v2: - use bpf_link_new_fd() uniformly (Alexei). ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

With bpf_link abstraction supported by kernel explicitly, add pinning/unpinning API for links. Also allow to create (open) bpf_link from BPF FS file. This API allows to have an "ephemeral" FD-based BPF links (like raw tracepoint or fexit/freplace attachments) surviving user process exit, by pinning them in a BPF FS, which is an important use case for long-running BPF programs. As part of this, expose underlying FD for bpf_link. While legacy bpf_link's might not have a FD associated with them (which will be expressed as a bpf_link with fd=-1), kernel's abstraction is based around FD-based usage, so match it closely. This, subsequently, allows to have a generic pinning/unpinning API for generalized bpf_link. For some types of bpf_links kernel might not support pinning, in which case bpf_link__pin() will return error. With FD being part of generic bpf_link, also get rid of bpf_link_fd in favor of using vanialla bpf_link.

Introduce bpf_link abstraction, representing an attachment of BPF program to a BPF hook point (e.g., tracepoint, perf event, etc). bpf_link encapsulates ownership of attached BPF program, reference counting of a link itself, when reference from multiple anonymous inodes, as well as ensures that release callback will be called from a process context, so that users can safely take mutex locks and sleep. Additionally, with a new abstraction it's now possible to generalize pinning of a link object in BPF FS, allowing to explicitly prevent BPF program detachment on process exit by pinning it in a BPF FS and let it open from independent other process to keep working with it. Convert two existing bpf_link-like objects (raw tracepoint and tracing BPF program attachments) into utilizing bpf_link framework, making them pinnable in BPF FS. More FD-based bpf_links will be added in follow up patches.

btf_trace_xxx types, crucial for tp_btf BPF programs (raw tracepoint with verifier-checked direct memory access), have to be preserved in kernel BTF to allow verifier do its job and enforce type/memory safety. It was reported ([0]) that for kernels built with Clang current type-casting approach doesn't preserve these types. This patch fixes it by declaring an anonymous union for each registered tracepoint, capturing both struct bpf_raw_event_map information, as well as recording btf_trace_##call type reliably. Structurally, it's still the same content as for a plain struct bpf_raw_event_map, so no other changes are necessary.

Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== Move BPF_PROG, BPF_KPROBE, and BPF_KRETPROBE helper macros from private selftests helpers to public libbpf ones. These helpers are extremely helpful for writing tracing BPF applications and have been requested to be exposed for easy use (e.g., [0]). As part of this move, fix up BPF_KRETPROBE to not allow for capturing input arguments (as it's unreliable and they will be often clobbered). Also, add vmlinux.h header guard to allow multi-time inclusion, if necessary; but also to let PT_REGS_PARM do proper detection of struct pt_regs field names on x86 arch.

Adding ethtool stats for when XDP transmitted packets overrun the TX queue. This is recorded separately for XDP_TX and ndo_xdp_xmit. This is an important aid for troubleshooting XDP based setups. It is currently a known weakness and property of XDP that there isn't any push-back or congestion feedback when transmitting frames via XDP. It's easy to realise when redirecting from a higher speed link into a slower speed link, or simply two ingress links into a single egress. The situation can also happen when Ethernet flow control is active. For testing the patch and provoking the situation to occur on my Espressobin board, I configured the TX-queue to be smaller (434) than RX-queue (512) and overload network with large MTU size frames (as a larger frame takes longer to transmit). Hopefully the upcoming XDP TX hook can be extended to provide insight into these TX queue overflows, to allow programmable adaptation strategies.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Across Cavium's ThunderX and Marvell's OcteonTx2 silicons the PTP timestamping block's PCI device ID and vendor ID have remained same but the HW architecture has changed. Hence added PCI subsystem IDs to the device table to avoid this driver from being probed on OcteonTx2 silicons.

Replace msleep() with usleep_range() as internally it uses hrtimers. This will put a cap on maximum wait time. Signed-off-by: Geetha sowjanya <gakula@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Sunil Goutham <sgoutham@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
