- recognize relocation emitted by llvm - since all regular function will be kept in .text section and llvm takes care of pc-relative offsets in bpf_call instruction simply copy all of .text to relevant program section while adjusting bpf_call instructions in program section to point to newly copied body of instructions from .text - do so for all programs in the elf file - set all programs types to the one passed to bpf_prog_load() Note for elf files with multiple programs that use different functions in .text section we need to do 'linker' style logic.

adjust two tests, since verifier got smarter and add new one to test stack_zero logic Signed-off-by:
-
Alexei Starovoitov authored
programs with function calls are often passing various pointers via stack. When all calls are inlined llvm flattens stack accesses and optimizes away extra branches. When functions are not inlined it becomes the job of the verifier to recognize zero initialized stack to avoid exploring paths that program will not take. The following program would fail otherwise: ptr = &buffer_on_stack; *ptr = 0; ... func_call(.., ptr, ...) { if (..) *ptr = bpf_map_lookup(); } ... if (*ptr != 0) { // Access (*ptr)->field is valid. // Without stack_zero tracking such (*ptr)->field access // will be rejected } since stack slots are no longer uniform invalid | spill | misc add liveness marking to all slots, but do it in 8 byte chunks. So if nothing was read or written in [fp-16, fp-9] range it will be marked as LIVE_NONE. If any byte in that range was read, it will be marked LIVE_READ and stacksafe() check will perform byte-by-byte verification. If all bytes in the range were written the slot will be marked as LIVE_WRITTEN. This significantly speeds up state equality comparison and reduces total number of states processed. before after bpf_lb-DLB_L3.o 2051 2003 bpf_lb-DLB_L4.o 3287 3164 bpf_lb-DUNKNOWN.o 1080 1080 bpf_lxc-DDROP_ALL.o 24980 12361 bpf_lxc-DUNKNOWN.o 34308 16605 bpf_netdev.o 15404 10962 bpf_overlay.o 7191 6679 Signed-off-by: -

Allow arbitrary function calls from bpf function to another bpf function. To recognize such set of bpf functions the verifier does: 1. runs control flow analysis to detect function boundaries 2. proceeds with verification of all functions starting from main(root) function It recognizes that the stack of the caller can be accessed by the callee (if the caller passed a pointer to its stack to the callee) and the callee can store map_value and other pointers into the stack of the caller. 3. keeps track of the stack_depth of each function to make sure that total stack depth is still less than 512 bytes 4. disallows pointers to the callee stack to be stored into the caller stack, since they will be invalid as soon as the callee returns 5. to reuse all of the existing state_pruning logic each function call is considered to be independent call from the verifier point of view. The verifier pretends to inline all function calls it sees are being called. It stores the callsite instruction index as part of the state to make sure that two calls to the same callee from two different places in the caller will be different from state pruning point of view 6. more safety checks are added to liveness analysis Implementation details: . struct bpf_verifier_state is now consists of all stack frames that led to this function . struct bpf_func_state represent one stack frame. It consists of registers in the given frame and its stack . propagate_liveness() logic had a premature optimization where mark_reg_read() and mark_stack_slot_read() were manually inlined with loop iterating over parents for each register or stack slot. Undo this optimization to reuse more complex mark_*_read() logic . skip_callee() logic is not necessary from safety point of view, but without it mark_*_read() markings become too conservative, since after returning from the funciton call a read of r6-r9 will incorrectly propagate the read marks into callee causing inefficient pruning later . mark_*_read() logic is now aware of control flow which makes it more complex. In the future the plan is to rewrite liveness to be hierarchical. So that liveness can be done within basic block only and control flow will be responsible for propagation of liveness information along cfg and between calls. . tail_calls and ld_abs insns are not allowed in the programs with bpf-to-bpf calls . returning stack pointers to the caller or storing them into stack frame of the caller is not allowed Testing: . no difference in cilium processed_insn numbers . large number of tests follows in next patches Signed-off-by:

Allow arbitrary function calls from bpf function to another bpf function. Since the beginning of bpf all bpf programs were represented as a single function and program authors were forced to use always_inline for all functions in their C code. That was causing llvm to unnecessary inflate the code size and forcing developers to move code to header files with little code reuse. With a bit of additional complexity teach verifier to recognize arbitrary function calls from one bpf function to another as long as all of functions are presented to the verifier as a single bpf program. New program layout: r6 = r1 // some code .. r1 = .. // arg1 r2 = .. // arg2 call pc+1 // function call pc-relative exit .. = r1 // access arg1 .. = r2 // access arg2 .. call pc+20 // second level of function call ... It allows for better optimized code and finally allows to introduce the core bpf libraries that can be reused in different projects, since programs are no longer limited by single elf file. With function calls bpf can be compiled into multiple .o files. This patch is the first step. It detects programs that contain multiple functions and checks that calls between them are valid. It splits the sequence of bpf instructions (one program) into a set of bpf functions that call each other. Calls to only known functions are allowed. In the future the verifier may allow calls to unresolved functions and will do dynamic linking. This logic supports statically linked bpf functions only. Such function boundary detection could have been done as part of control flow graph building in check_cfg(), but it's cleaner to separate function boundary detection vs control flow checks within a subprogram (function) into logically indepedent steps. Follow up patches may split check_cfg() further, but not check_subprogs(). Only allow bpf-to-bpf calls for root only and for non-hw-offloaded programs. These restrictions can be relaxed in the future. Signed-off-by:

If the program is simple and has only one adjust head call with constant parameters, we can check that the call will always succeed at translation time. We need to track the location of the call and make sure parameters are always the same. We also have to check the parameters against datapath constraints and ETH_HLEN. Signed-off-by:

Roman Gushchin says: ==================== This patchset adds basic cgroup bpf operations to bpftool. Right now there is no convenient way to perform these operations. The /samples/bpf/load_sock_ops.c implements attach/detacg operations, but only for BPF_CGROUP_SOCK_OPS programs. Bps (part of bcc) implements bpf introspection, but lacks any cgroup-related specific. I find having a tool to perform these basic operations in the kernel tree very useful, as it can be used in the corresponding bpf documentation without creating additional dependencies. And bpftool seems to be a right tool to extend with such functionality. v4: - ATTACH_FLAGS and ATTACH_TYPE are listed and described in docs and usage - ATTACH_FLAG names converted to "multi" and "override" - do_attach() recognizes ATTACH_FLAG abbreviations, e.g "mul" - Local variables sorted ("reverse Christmas tree") - unknown attach flags value will be never truncated v3: - SRC replaced with OBJ in prog load docs - Output unknown attach type in hex - License header in SPDX format - Minor style fixes (e.g. variable reordering) v2: - Added prog load operations - All cgroup operations are looking like bpftool cgroup <command> - All cgroup-related stuff is moved to a separate file - Added support for attach flags - Added support for attaching/detaching programs by id, pinned name, etc - Changed cgroup detach arguments order - Added empty json output for succesful programs - Style fixed: includes order, strncmp and macroses, error handling - Added man pages v1: https://lwn.net/Articles/740366/ ==================== Reviewed-by:Quentin Monnet <quentin.monnet@netronome.com> Signed-off-by:

Libbpf picks the name of the first symbol in the corresponding elf section to use as a program name. But without taking symbol's scope into account it may end's up with some local label as a program name.

Commit f371b304 ("bpf/tracing: allow user space to query prog array on the same tp") introduced a perf ioctl command to query prog array attached to the same perf tracepoint. The commit introduced a compilation error under certain config conditions, e.g., (1). CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL is not defined, or (2). CONFIG_TRACING is defined but neither CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS nor CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS is defined. Error message: kernel/events/core.o: In function `perf_ioctl': core.c:(.text+0x98c4): undefined reference to `bpf_event_query_prog_array' This patch fixed this error by guarding the real definition under CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS and provided static inline dummy function if CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS was not defined. It renamed the function from bpf_event_query_prog_array to perf_event_query_prog_array and moved the definition from linux/bpf.h to linux/trace_events.h so the definition is in proximity to other prog_array related functions.

Josef Bacik says: ==================== This is the same as v8, just rebased onto the bpf tree. v8->v9: - rebased onto the bpf tree. v7->v8: - removed the _ASM_KPROBE_ERROR_INJECT since it was not needed. v6->v7: - moved the opt-in macro to bpf.h out of kprobes.h. v5->v6: - add BPF_ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() tagging for functions that will support this feature. This way only functions that opt-in will be allowed to be overridden. - added a btrfs patch to allow error injection for open_ctree() so that the bpf sample actually works. v4->v5: - disallow kprobe_override programs from being put in the prog map array so we don't tail call into something we didn't check. This allows us to make the normal path still fast without a bunch of percpu operations. v3->v4: - fix a build error found by kbuild test bot (I didn't wait long enough apparently.) - Added a warning message as per Daniels suggestion. v2->v3: - added a ->kprobe_override flag to bpf_prog. - added some sanity checks to disallow attaching bpf progs that have ->kprobe_override set that aren't for ftrace kprobes. - added the trace_kprobe_ftrace helper to check if the trace_event_call is a ftrace kprobe. - renamed bpf_kprobe_state to bpf_kprobe_override, fixed it so we only read this value in the kprobe path, and thus only write to it if we're overriding or clearing the override. v1->v2: - moved things around to make sure that bpf_override_return could really only be used for an ftrace kprobe. - killed the special return values from trace_call_bpf. - renamed pc_modified to bpf_kprobe_state so bpf_override_return could tell if it was being called from an ftrace kprobe context. - reworked the logic in kprobe_perf_func to take advantage of bpf_kprobe_state. - updated the test as per Alexei's review. - Original message - A lot of our error paths are not well tested because we have no good way of injecting errors generically. Some subystems (block, memory) have ways to inject errors, but they are random so it's hard to get reproduceable results. With BPF we can add determinism to our error injection. We can use kprobes and other things to verify we are injecting errors at the exact case we are trying to test. This patch gives us the tool to actual do the error injection part. It is very simple, we just set the return value of the pt_regs we're given to whatever we provide, and then override the PC with a dummy function that simply returns. Right now this only works on x86, but it would be simple enough to expand to other architectures. Thanks, Josef ==================== In patch "bpf: add a bpf_override_function helper" Alexei moved "ifdef CONFIG_BPF_KPROBE_OVERRIDE" few lines to fail program loading when kprobe_override is not available instead of failing at run-time.

Error injection is sloppy and very ad-hoc. BPF could fill this niche perfectly with it's kprobe functionality. We could make sure errors are only triggered in specific call chains that we care about with very specific situations. Accomplish this with the bpf_override_funciton helper. This will modify the probe'd callers return value to the specified value and set the PC to an override function that simply returns, bypassing the originally probed function. This gives us a nice clean way to implement systematic error injection for all of our code paths. Acked-by:

Using BPF we can override kprob'ed functions and return arbitrary values. Obviously this can be a bit unsafe, so make this feature opt-in for functions. Simply tag a function with KPROBE_ERROR_INJECT_SYMBOL in order to give BPF access to that function for error injection purposes. Signed-off-by:

Yonghong Song says: ==================== Commit e87c6bc3 ("bpf: permit multiple bpf attachments for a single perf event") added support to attach multiple bpf programs to a single perf event. Given a perf event (kprobe, uprobe, or kernel tracepoint), the perf ioctl interface is used to query bpf programs attached to the same trace event. There already exists a BPF_PROG_QUERY command for introspection currently used by cgroup+bpf. We did have an implementation for querying tracepoint+bpf through the same interface. However, it looks cleaner to use ioctl() style of api here, since attaching bpf prog to tracepoint/kuprobe is also done via ioctl. Patch #1 had the core implementation and patch #2 added a test case in tools bpf selftests suite. Changelogs: v3 -> v4: - Fix a compilation error with newer gcc like 6.3.1 while old gcc 4.8.5 is okay. I was using &uquery->ids to represent the address to the ids array to make it explicit that the address is passed, and this syntax is rightly rejected by gcc 6.3.1. v2 -> v3: - Change uapi structure perf_event_query_bpf to be more clearer based on Peter's suggestion, and adjust other codes accordingly. v1 -> v2: - Rebase on top of net-next. - Use existing bpf_prog_array_length function instead of implementing the same functionality in function bpf_prog_array_copy_info. ==================== Signed-off-by:

Commit e87c6bc3 ("bpf: permit multiple bpf attachments for a single perf event") added support to attach multiple bpf programs to a single perf event. Although this provides flexibility, users may want to know what other bpf programs attached to the same tp interface. Besides getting visibility for the underlying bpf system, such information may also help consolidate multiple bpf programs, understand potential performance issues due to a large array, and debug (e.g., one bpf program which overwrites return code may impact subsequent program results). Commit 2541517c ("tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to kprobes") utilized the existing perf ioctl interface and added the command PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF to attach a bpf program to a tracepoint. This patch adds a new ioctl command, given a perf event fd, to query the bpf program array attached to the same perf tracepoint event. The new uapi ioctl command: PERF_EVENT_IOC_QUERY_BPF The new uapi/linux/perf_event.h structure: struct perf_event_query_bpf { __u32 ids_len; __u32 prog_cnt; __u32 ids[0]; }; User space provides buffer "ids" for kernel to copy to. When returning from the kernel, the number of available programs in the array is set in "prog_cnt". The usage: struct perf_event_query_bpf *query = malloc(sizeof(*query) + sizeof(u32) * ids_len); query.ids_len = ids_len; err = ioctl(pmu_efd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_QUERY_BPF, query); if (err == 0) { /* query.prog_cnt is the number of available progs, * number of progs in ids: (ids_len == 0) ? 0 : query.prog_cnt */ } else if (errno == ENOSPC) { /* query.ids_len number of progs copied, * query.prog_cnt is the number of available progs */ } else { /* other errors */ } Signed-off-by:

The SMC protocol requires to send a separate consumer cursor update, if it cannot be piggybacked to updates of the producer cursor. When receiving a blocked signal from the sender, this update is sent already in tasklet context. In addition consumer cursor updates are sent after data receival. Sending of cursor updates is controlled by sequence numbers. Assuming receiving stray messages the receiver drops updates with older sequence numbers than an already received cursor update with a higher sequence number. Sending consumer cursor updates in tasklet context may result in wrong order sends and its corresponding drops at the receiver. Since it is sufficient to send consumer cursor updates once the data is received, this patch gets rid of the consumer cursor update in tasklet context to guarantee in-sequence arrival of cursor updates.
