Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== Add support for using kernel module global variables (__ksym externs in BPF program). BPF verifier will now support ldimm64 with src_reg=BPF_PSEUDO_BTF_ID and non-zero insn[1].imm field, specifying module BTF's FD. In such case, module BTF object, similarly to BPF maps referenced from ldimm64 with src_reg=BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD, will be recorded in bpf_progran's auxiliary data and refcnt will be increased for both BTF object itself and its kernel module. This makes sure kernel module won't be unloaded from under active attached BPF program. These refcounts will be dropped when BPF program is unloaded. New selftest validates all this is working as intended. bpf_testmod.ko is extended with per-CPU variable. Selftests expects the latest pahole changes (soon to be released as v1.20) to generate per-CPU variable BTF info for kernel module. v2->v3: - added comments, addressed feedack (Yonghong, Hao); v1->v2: - fixed few compiler warnings, posted as separate pre-patches; rfc->v1: - use sys_membarrier(MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL) (Alexei).

Add support for searching for ksym externs not just in vmlinux BTF, but across all module BTFs, similarly to how it's done for CO-RE relocations. Kernels that expose module BTFs through sysfs are assumed to support new ldimm64 instruction extension with BTF FD provided in insn[1].imm field, so no extra feature detection is performed.

Add support for directly accessing kernel module variables from BPF programs using special ldimm64 instructions. This functionality builds upon vmlinux ksym support, but extends ldimm64 with src_reg=BPF_PSEUDO_BTF_ID to allow specifying kernel module BTF's FD in insn[1].imm field. During BPF program load time, verifier will resolve FD to BTF object and will take reference on BTF object itself and, for module BTFs, corresponding module as well, to make sure it won't be unloaded from under running BPF program. The mechanism used is similar to how bpf_prog keeps track of used bpf_maps. One interesting change is also in how per-CPU variable is determined. The logic is to find .data..percpu data section in provided BTF, but both vmlinux and module each have their own .data..percpu entries in BTF. So for module's case, the search for DATASEC record needs to look at only module's added BTF types. This is implemented with custom search function.

If some of the subtests use module BTFs through ksyms, they will cause bpf_prog to take a refcount on bpf_testmod module, which will prevent it from successfully unloading. Module's refcnt is decremented when bpf_prog is freed, which generally happens in RCU callback. So we need to trigger syncronize_rcu() in the kernel, which can be achieved nicely with membarrier(MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED) or membarrier(MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL) syscall. So do that in kernel_sync_rcu() and make it available to other test inside the test_progs. This synchronize_rcu() is called before attempting to unload bpf_testmod.

The _bpf_setsockopt() is able to set some of the SOL_SOCKET level options, however, _bpf_getsockopt() has little support to actually retrieve them. This small patch adds few misc options such as SO_MARK, SO_PRIORITY and SO_BINDTOIFINDEX. For the latter getter and setter are added. The mark and priority in particular allow to retrieve the options from BPF cgroup hooks to then implement custom behavior / settings on the syscall hooks compared to other sockets that stick to the defaults, for example.

The function sockfd_lookup uses fget on the value that is stored in the file field of the returned structure, so fput should ultimately be applied to this value.

BPF_CORE_READ(), in addition to handling CO-RE relocations, also allows much nicer way to read data structures with nested pointers. Instead of writing a sequence of bpf_probe_read() calls to follow links, one can just write BPF_CORE_READ(a, b, c, d) to effectively do a->b->c->d read. This is a welcome ability when porting BCC code, which (in most cases) allows exactly the intuitive a->b->c->d variant. This patch adds non-CO-RE variants of BPF_CORE_READ() family of macros for cases where CO-RE is not supported (e.g., old kernels). In such cases, the property of shortening a sequence of bpf_probe_read()s to a simple BPF_PROBE_READ(a, b, c, d) invocation is still desirable, especially when porting BCC code to libbpf. Yet, no CO-RE relocation is going to be emitted.

The kernel test robot reported a -5.8% performance regression on the "poll2" test of will-it-scale, and bisected it to commit d55564cf ("x86: Make __put_user() generate an out-of-line call"). I didn't expect an out-of-line __put_user() to matter, because no normal core code should use that non-checking legacy version of user access any more. But I had overlooked the very odd poll() usage, which does a __put_user() to update the 'revents' values of the poll array. Now, Al Viro correctly points out that instead of updating just the 'revents' field, it would be much simpler to just copy the _whole_ pollfd entry, and then we could just use "copy_to_user()" on the whole array of entries, the same way we use "copy_from_user()" a few lines earlier to get the original values. But that is not what we've traditionally done, and I worry that threaded applications might be concurrently modifying the other fields of the pollfd array. So while Al's suggestion is simpler - and perhaps worth trying in the future - this instead keeps the "just update revents" model. To fix the performance regression, use the modern "unsafe_put_user()" instead of __put_user(), with the proper "user_write_access_begin()" guarding in place. This improves code generation enormously.

This reverts commit 757055ae. The commit caused that ttynull was used as the default console on several systems[1][2][3]. As a result, the console was blank even when a better alternative existed. It happened when there was no console configured on the command line and ttynull_init() was the first initcall calling register_console(). Or it happened when /dev/ did not exist when console_on_rootfs() was called. It was not able to open /dev/console even though a console driver was registered. It tried to add ttynull console but it obviously did not help. But ttynull became the preferred console and was used by /dev/console when it was available later. The commit tried to fix a historical problem that have been there for ages. The primary motivation was the commit 3cffa06a ("printk/console: Allow to disable console output by using console="" or console=null"). It provided a clean solution for a workaround that was widely used and worked only by chance. This revert causes that the console="" or console=null command line options will again work only by chance. These options will cause that a particular console will be preferred and the default (tty) ones will not get enabled. There will be no console registered at all. As a result there won't be stdin, stdout, and stderr for the init process. But it worked exactly this way even before. The proper solution has to fulfill many conditions: + Register ttynull only when explicitly required or as the ultimate fallback. + ttynull should get associated with /dev/console but it must not become preferred console when used as a fallback. Especially, it must still be possible to replace it by a better console later. Such a change requires clean up of the register_console() code. Otherwise, it would be even harder to follow. Especially, the use of has_preferred_console and CON_CONSDEV flag is tricky. The clean up is risky. The ordering of consoles is not well defined. And any changes tend to break existing user settings. Do the revert at the least risky solution for now.

ip_finish_output_gso() may call .ndo_features_check() even before the skb has a L2 header. This conflicts with qeth_get_ip_version()'s attempt to inspect the L2 header via vlan_eth_hdr(). Switch to vlan_get_protocol(), as already used further down in the common qeth_features_check() path.

Due to insufficient locking, qeth_core_set_online() and qeth_dev_layer2_store() can run in parallel, both attempting to load & setup the discipline (and stepping on each other toes along the way). A similar race can also occur between qeth_core_remove_device() and qeth_dev_layer2_store(). Access to .discipline is meant to be protected by the discipline_mutex, so add/expand the locking in qeth_core_remove_device() and qeth_core_set_online(). Adjust the locking in qeth_l*_remove_device() accordingly, as it's now handled by the callers in a consistent manner. Based on an initial patch by Ursula Braun.

When qeth_dev_layer2_store() - holding the discipline_mutex - waits inside qeth_l*_remove_device() for a qeth_do_reset() thread to complete, we can hit a deadlock if qeth_do_reset() concurrently calls qeth_set_online() and thus tries to aquire the discipline_mutex. Move the discipline_mutex locking outside of qeth_set_online() and qeth_set_offline(), and turn the discipline into a parameter so that callers understand the dependency. To fix the deadlock, we can now relax the locking: As already established, qeth_l*_remove_device() waits for qeth_do_reset() to complete. So qeth_do_reset() itself is under no risk of having card->discipline ripped out while it's running, and thus doesn't need to take the discipline_mutex.

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== nexthop: Various fixes This series contains various fixes for the nexthop code. The bugs were uncovered during the development of resilient nexthop groups. Patches #1-#2 fix the error path of nexthop_create_group(). I was not able to trigger these bugs with current code, but it is possible with the upcoming resilient nexthop groups code which adds a user controllable memory allocation further in the function. Patch #3 fixes wrong validation of netlink attributes. Patch #4 fixes wrong invocation of mausezahn in a selftest. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210107144824.1135691-1-idosch@idosch.orgSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
