We have introduced a new type to make bpf_reg composable, by
allocating bits in the type to represent flags.
One of the flags is PTR_MAYBE_NULL which indicates a pointer
may be NULL. This patch switches the qualified reg_types to
use this flag. The reg_types changed in this patch include:
1. PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL
2. PTR_TO_SOCKET_OR_NULL
3. PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON_OR_NULL
4. PTR_TO_TCP_SOCK_OR_NULL
5. PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL
6. PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL
7. PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF_OR_NULL
8. PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF_OR_NULL

There are some common properties shared between bpf reg, ret and arg
values. For instance, a value may be a NULL pointer, or a pointer to
a read-only memory. Previously, to express these properties, enumeration
was used. For example, in order to test whether a reg value can be NULL,
reg_type_may_be_null() simply enumerates all types that are possibly
NULL. The problem of this approach is that it's not scalable and causes
a lot of duplication. These properties can be combined, for example, a
type could be either MAYBE_NULL or RDONLY, or both.
This patch series rewrites the layout of reg_type, arg_type and
ret_type, so that common properties can be extracted and represented as
composable flag. For example, one can write
ARG_PTR_TO_MEM | PTR_MAYBE_NULL
which is equivalent to the previous
ARG_PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL
The type ARG_PTR_TO_MEM are called "base type" in this patch. Base
types can be extended with flags. A flag occupies the higher bits while
base types sits in the lower bits.
This patch in particular sets up a set of macro for this purpose. The
following patches will rewrite arg_types, ret_types and reg_types
respectively.

BPF_LOG_KERNEL is only used internally, so disallow bpf_btf_load()
to set log level as BPF_LOG_KERNEL. The same checking has already
been done in bpf_check(), so factor out a helper to check the
validity of log attributes and use it in both places.

This change adds support on the kernel side to allow for BPF programs to
call kernel module functions. Userspace will prepare an array of module
BTF fds that is passed in during BPF_PROG_LOAD using fd_array parameter.
In the kernel, the module BTFs are placed in the auxilliary struct for
bpf_prog, and loaded as needed.
The verifier then uses insn->off to index into the fd_array. insn->off
0 is reserved for vmlinux BTF (for backwards compat), so userspace must
use an fd_array index > 0 for module kfunc support. kfunc_btf_tab is
sorted based on offset in an array, and each offset corresponds to one
descriptor, with a max limit up to 256 such module BTFs.
We also change existing kfunc_tab to distinguish each element based on
imm, off pair as each such call will now be distinct.
Another change is to check_kfunc_call callback, which now include a
struct module * pointer, this is to be used in later patch such that the
kfunc_id and module pointer are matched for dynamically registered BTF
sets from loadable modules, so that same kfunc_id in two modules doesn't
lead to check_kfunc_call succeeding. For the duration of the
check_kfunc_call, the reference to struct module exists, as it returns
the pointer stored in kfunc_btf_tab.

Spectre v4 gadgets make use of memory disambiguation, which is a set of
techniques that execute memory access instructions, that is, loads and
stores, out of program order; Intel's optimization manual, section 2.4.4.5:
A load instruction micro-op may depend on a preceding store. Many
microarchitectures block loads until all preceding store addresses are
known. The memory disambiguator predicts which loads will not depend on
any previous stores. When the disambiguator predicts that a load does
not have such a dependency, the load takes its data from the L1 data
cache. Eventually, the prediction is verified. If an actual conflict is
detected, the load and all succeeding instructions are re-executed.
af86ca4e30 ("bpf: Prevent memory disambiguation attack") tried to mitigate
this attack by sanitizing the memory locations through preemptive "fast"
(low latency) stores of zero prior to the actual "slow" (high latency) store
of a pointer value such that upon dependency misprediction the CPU then
speculatively executes the load of the pointer value and retrieves the zero
value instead of the attacker controlled scalar value previously stored at
that location, meaning, subsequent access in the speculative domain is then
redirected to the "zero page".
The sanitized preemptive store of zero prior to the actual "slow" store is
done through a simple ST instruction based on r10 (frame pointer) with
relative offset to the stack location that the verifier has been tracking
on the original used register for STX, which does not have to be r10. Thus,
there are no memory dependencies for this store, since it's only using r10
and immediate constant of zero; hence af86ca4e30 /assumed/ a low latency
operation.
However, a recent attack demonstrated that this mitigation is not sufficient
since the preemptive store of zero could also be turned into a "slow" store
and is thus bypassed as well:
[...]
// r2 = oob address (e.g. scalar)
// r7 = pointer to map value
31: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -16) = r2
// r9 will remain "fast" register, r10 will become "slow" register below
32: (bf) r9 = r10
// JIT maps BPF reg to x86 reg:
// r9 -> r15 (callee saved)
// r10 -> rbp
// train store forward prediction to break dependency link between both r9
// and r10 by evicting them from the predictor's LRU table.

// in speculative domain contains attacker controlled r2. in non-speculative
// domain this contains r7, and thus accesses r7 +0 below.
554: (71) r3 = *(u8 *)(r2 +0)
// leak r3
As can be seen, the current speculative store bypass mitigation which the
verifier inserts at line 551 is insufficient since /both/, the write of
the zero sanitation as well as the map value pointer are a high latency
instruction due to prior memory access via push/pop of r10 (rbp) in contrast
to the low latency read in line 553 as r9 (r15) which stays in hardware
registers. Thus, architecturally, fp-16 is r7, however, microarchitecturally,
fp-16 can still be r2.
Initial thoughts to address this issue was to track spilled pointer loads
from stack and enforce their load via LDX through r10 as well so that /both/
the preemptive store of zero /as well as/ the load use the /same/ register
such that a dependency is created between the store and load. However, this
option is not sufficient either since it can be bypassed as well under
speculation. An updated attack with pointer spill/fills now _all_ based on
r10 would look as follows:
[...]
// r2 = oob address (e.g. scalar)
// r7 = pointer to map value
[...]
// longer store forward prediction training sequence than before.

2102: (71) r3 = *(u8 *)(r2 +0)

[...]
Looking at the CPU microarchitecture, the scheduler might issue loads (such
as seen in line 2101) before stores (line 2099,2100) because the load execution
units become available while the store execution unit is still busy with the
sequence of dummy stores (line 2069-2098). And so the load may use the prior
stored scalar from r2 at address r10 -16 for speculation. The updated attack
may work less reliable on CPU microarchitectures where loads and stores share
execution resources.
This concludes that the sanitizing with zero stores from af86ca4e30 ("bpf:
Prevent memory disambiguation attack") is insufficient. Moreover, the detection
of stack reuse from af86ca4e30 where previously data (STACK_MISC) has been
written to a given stack slot where a pointer value is now to be stored does
not have sufficient coverage as precondition for the mitigation either; for
several reasons outlined as follows:
1) Stack content from prior program runs could still be preserved and is
therefore not "random", best example is to split a speculative store
bypass attack between tail calls, program A would prepare and store the
oob address at a given stack slot and then tail call into program B which
does the "slow" store of a pointer to the stack with subsequent "fast"
read. From program B PoV such stack slot type is STACK_INVALID, and
therefore also must be subject to mitigation.
2) The STACK_SPILL must not be coupled to register_is_const(&stack->spilled_ptr)
condition, for example, the previous content of that memory location could
also be a pointer to map or map value. Without the fix, a speculative
store bypass is not mitigated in such precondition and can then lead to
a type confusion in the speculative domain leaking kernel memory near
these pointer types.
While brainstorming on various alternative mitigation possibilities, we also
stumbled upon a retrospective from Chrome developers [0]:
[...] For variant 4, we implemented a mitigation to zero the unused memory
of the heap prior to allocation, which cost about 1% when done concurrently
and 4% for scavenging. Variant 4 defeats everything we could think of. We
explored more mitigations for variant 4 but the threat proved to be more
pervasive and dangerous than we anticipated. For example, stack slots used
by the register allocator in the optimizing compiler could be subject to
type confusion, leading to pointer crafting. Mitigating type confusion for
stack slots alone would have required a complete redesign of the backend of
the optimizing compiler, perhaps man years of work, without a guarantee of
completeness. [...]
From BPF side, the problem space is reduced, however, options are rather
limited. One idea that has been explored was to xor-obfuscate pointer spills
to the BPF stack:
[...]
// preoccupy the CPU store port by running sequence of dummy stores.
[...]
2106: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29796) = r0
2107: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29800) = r0
2108: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29804) = r0
2109: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29808) = r0
2110: (63) *(u32 *)(r7 +29812) = r0
// overwrite scalar with dummy pointer; xored with random 'secret' value
// of 943576462 before store ...
2111: (b4) w11 = 943576462
2112: (af) r11 ^= r7
2113: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -16) = r11
2114: (79) r11 = *(u64 *)(r10 -16)
2115: (b4) w2 = 943576462
2116: (af) r2 ^= r11
// ... and restored with the same 'secret' value with the help of AX reg.
2117: (71) r3 = *(u8 *)(r2 +0)
[...]
While the above would not prevent speculation, it would make data leakage
infeasible by directing it to random locations. In order to be effective
and prevent type confusion under speculation, such random secret would have
to be regenerated for each store. The additional complexity involved for a
tracking mechanism that prevents jumps such that restoring spilled pointers
would not get corrupted is not worth the gain for unprivileged. Hence, the
fix in here eventually opted for emitting a non-public BPF_ST | BPF_NOSPEC
instruction which the x86 JIT translates into a lfence opcode. Inserting the
latter in between the store and load instruction is one of the mitigations
options [1]. The x86 instruction manual notes:
[...] An LFENCE that follows an instruction that stores to memory might
complete before the data being stored have become globally visible. [...]
The latter meaning that the preceding store instruction finished execution
and the store is at minimum guaranteed to be in the CPU's store queue, but
it's not guaranteed to be in that CPU's L1 cache at that point (globally
visible). The latter would only be guaranteed via sfence. So the load which
is guaranteed to execute after the lfence for that local CPU would have to
rely on store-to-load forwarding. [2], in section 2.3 on store buffers says:
[...] For every store operation that is added to the ROB, an entry is
allocated in the store buffer. This entry requires both the virtual and
physical address of the target. Only if there is no free entry in the store
buffer, the frontend stalls until there is an empty slot available in the
store buffer again. Otherwise, the CPU can immediately continue adding
subsequent instructions to the ROB and execute them out of order. On Intel
CPUs, the store buffer has up to 56 entries. [...]
One small upside on the fix is that it lifts constraints from af86ca4e30
where the sanitize_stack_off relative to r10 must be the same when coming
from different paths. The BPF_ST | BPF_NOSPEC gets emitted after a BPF_STX
or BPF_ST instruction. This happens either when we store a pointer or data
value to the BPF stack for the first time, or upon later pointer spills.
The former needs to be enforced since otherwise stale stack data could be
leaked under speculation as outlined earlier. For non-x86 JITs the BPF_ST |
BPF_NOSPEC mapping is currently optimized away, but others could emit a
speculation barrier as well if necessary. For real-world unprivileged
programs e.g. generated by LLVM, pointer spill/fill is only generated upon
register pressure and LLVM only tries to do that for pointers which are not
used often. The program main impact will be the initial BPF_ST | BPF_NOSPEC
sanitation for the STACK_INVALID case when the first write to a stack slot
occurs e.g. upon map lookup. In future we might refine ways to mitigate
the latter cost.

In 7fedb63a83 ("bpf: Tighten speculative pointer arithmetic mask") we
narrowed the offset mask for unprivileged pointer arithmetic in order to
mitigate a corner case where in the speculative domain it is possible to
advance, for example, the map value pointer by up to value_size-1 out-of-
bounds in order to leak kernel memory via side-channel to user space.
The verifier's state pruning for scalars leaves one corner case open
where in the first verification path R_x holds an unknown scalar with an
aux->alu_limit of e.g. 7, and in a second verification path that same
register R_x, here denoted as R_x', holds an unknown scalar which has
tighter bounds and would thus satisfy range_within(R_x, R_x') as well as
tnum_in(R_x, R_x') for state pruning, yielding an aux->alu_limit of 3:
Given the second path fits the register constraints for pruning, the final
generated mask from aux->alu_limit will remain at 7. While technically
not wrong for the non-speculative domain, it would however be possible
to craft similar cases where the mask would be too wide as in 7fedb63a83.
One way to fix it is to detect the presence of unknown scalar map pointer
arithmetic and force a deeper search on unknown scalars to ensure that
we do not run into a masking mismatch.

bpf_for_each_map_elem() and bpf_timer_set_callback() helpers are relying on
PTR_TO_FUNC infra in the verifier to validate addresses to subprograms
and pass them into the helpers as function callbacks.
In case of bpf_for_each_map_elem() the callback is invoked synchronously
and the verifier treats it as a normal subprogram call by adding another
bpf_func_state and new frame in __check_func_call().
bpf_timer_set_callback() doesn't invoke the callback directly.
The subprogram will be called asynchronously from bpf_timer_cb().
Teach the verifier to validate such async callbacks as special kind
of jump by pushing verifier state into stack and let pop_stack() process it.
Special care needs to be taken during state pruning.
The call insn doing bpf_timer_set_callback has to be a prune_point.
Otherwise short timer callbacks might not have prune points in front of
bpf_timer_set_callback() which means is_state_visited() will be called
after this call insn is processed in __check_func_call(). Which means that
another async_cb state will be pushed to be walked later and the verifier
will eventually hit BPF_COMPLEXITY_LIMIT_JMP_SEQ limit.
Since push_async_cb() looks like another push_stack() branch the
infinite loop detection will trigger false positive. To recognize
this case mark such states as in_async_callback_fn.
To distinguish infinite loop in async callback vs the same callback called
with different arguments for different map and timer add async_entry_cnt
to bpf_func_state.
Enforce return zero from async callbacks.

Typical program loading sequence involves creating bpf maps and applying
map FDs into bpf instructions in various places in the bpf program.
This job is done by libbpf that is using compiler generated ELF relocations
to patch certain instruction after maps are created and BTFs are loaded.
The goal of fd_idx is to allow bpf instructions to stay immutable
after compilation. At load time the libbpf would still create maps as usual,
but it wouldn't need to patch instructions. It would store map_fds into
__u32 fd_array[] and would pass that pointer to sys_bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD).

func_states_equal makes a very short lived allocation for idmap,
probably because it's too large to fit on the stack. However the
function is called quite often, leading to a lot of alloc / free
churn. Replace the temporary allocation with dedicated scratch
space in struct bpf_verifier_env.

The current implemented mechanisms to mitigate data disclosure under
speculation mainly address stack and map value oob access from the
speculative domain. However, Piotr discovered that uninitialized BPF
stack is not protected yet, and thus old data from the kernel stack,
potentially including addresses of kernel structures, could still be
extracted from that 512 bytes large window. The BPF stack is special
compared to map values since it's not zero initialized for every
program invocation, whereas map values /are/ zero initialized upon
their initial allocation and thus cannot leak any prior data in either
domain. In the non-speculative domain, the verifier ensures that every
stack slot read must have a prior stack slot write by the BPF program
to avoid such data leaking issue.
However, this is not enough: for example, when the pointer arithmetic
operation moves the stack pointer from the last valid stack offset to
the first valid offset, the sanitation logic allows for any intermediate
offsets during speculative execution, which could then be used to
extract any restricted stack content via side-channel.
Given for unprivileged stack pointer arithmetic the use of unknown
but bounded scalars is generally forbidden, we can simply turn the
register-based arithmetic operation into an immediate-based arithmetic
operation without the need for masking. This also gives the benefit
of reducing the needed instructions for the operation. Given after
the work in 7fedb63a83 ("bpf: Tighten speculative pointer arithmetic
mask"), the aux->alu_limit already holds the final immediate value for
the offset register with the known scalar. Thus, a simple mov of the
immediate to AX register with using AX as the source for the original
instruction is sufficient and possible now in this case.

The bpf_for_each_map_elem() helper is introduced which
iterates all map elements with a callback function. The
helper signature looks like
long bpf_for_each_map_elem(map, callback_fn, callback_ctx, flags)
and for each map element, the callback_fn will be called. For example,
like hashmap, the callback signature may look like
long callback_fn(map, key, val, callback_ctx)
There are two known use cases for this. One is from upstream ([1]) where
a for_each_map_elem helper may help implement a timeout mechanism
in a more generic way. Another is from our internal discussion
for a firewall use case where a map contains all the rules. The packet
data can be compared to all these rules to decide allow or deny
the packet.
For array maps, users can already use a bounded loop to traverse
elements. Using this helper can avoid using bounded loop. For other
type of maps (e.g., hash maps) where bounded loop is hard or
impossible to use, this helper provides a convenient way to
operate on all elements.
For callback_fn, besides map and map element, a callback_ctx,
allocated on caller stack, is also passed to the callback
function. This callback_ctx argument can provide additional
input and allow to write to caller stack for output.
If the callback_fn returns 0, the helper will iterate through next
element if available. If the callback_fn returns 1, the helper
will stop iterating and returns to the bpf program. Other return
values are not used for now.
Currently, this helper is only available with jit. It is possible
to make it work with interpreter with so effort but I leave it
as the future work.

Add an ability to pass a pointer to a type with known size in arguments
of a global function. Such pointers may be used to overcome the limit on
the maximum number of arguments, avoid expensive and tricky workarounds
and to have multiple output arguments.
A referenced type may contain pointers but indirect access through them
isn't supported.
The implementation consists of two parts. If a global function has an
argument that is a pointer to a type with known size then:
1) In btf_check_func_arg_match(): check that the corresponding
register points to NULL or to a valid memory region that is large enough
to contain the expected argument's type.
2) In btf_prepare_func_args(): set the corresponding register type to
PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL and its size to the size of the expected type.
Only global functions are supported because allowance of pointers for
static functions might break validation. Consider the following
scenario. A static function has a pointer argument. A caller passes
pointer to its stack memory. Because the callee can change referenced
memory verifier cannot longer assume any particular slot type of the
caller's stack memory hence the slot type is changed to SLOT_MISC. If
there is an operation that relies on slot type other than SLOT_MISC then
verifier won't be able to infer safety of the operation.
When verifier sees a static function that has a pointer argument
different from PTR_TO_CTX then it skips arguments check and continues
with "inline" validation with more information available. The operation
that relies on the particular slot type now succeeds.
Because global functions were not allowed to have pointer arguments
different from PTR_TO_CTX it's not possible to break existing and valid
code.

Before this patch, variable offset access to the stack was dissalowed
for regular instructions, but was allowed for "indirect" accesses (i.e.
helpers). This patch removes the restriction, allowing reading and
writing to the stack through stack pointers with variable offsets. This
makes stack-allocated buffers more usable in programs, and brings stack
pointers closer to other types of pointers.
The motivation is being able to use stack-allocated buffers for data
manipulation. When the stack size limit is sufficient, allocating
buffers on the stack is simpler than per-cpu arrays, or other
alternatives.
In unpriviledged programs, variable-offset reads and writes are
disallowed (they were already disallowed for the indirect access case)
because the speculative execution checking code doesn't support them.
Additionally, when writing through a variable-offset stack pointer, if
any pointers are in the accessible range, there's possilibities of later
leaking pointers because the write cannot be tracked precisely.
Writes with variable offset mark the whole range as initialized, even
though we don't know which stack slots are actually written. This is in
order to not reject future reads to these slots. Note that this doesn't
affect writes done through helpers; like before, helpers need the whole
stack range to be initialized to begin with.
All the stack slots are in range are considered scalars after the write;
variable-offset register spills are not tracked.
For reads, all the stack slots in the variable range needs to be
initialized (but see above about what writes do), otherwise the read is
rejected. All register spilled in stack slots that might be read are
marked as having been read, however reads through such pointers don't do
register filling; the target register will always be either a scalar or
a constant zero.

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.

Remove a permeating assumption thoughout BPF verifier of vmlinux BTF. Instead,
wherever BTF type IDs are involved, also track the instance of struct btf that
goes along with the type ID. This allows to gradually add support for kernel
module BTFs and using/tracking module types across BPF helper calls and
registers.
This patch also renames btf_id() function to btf_obj_id() to minimize naming
clash with using btf_id to denote BTF *type* ID, rather than BTF *object*'s ID.
Also, altough btf_vmlinux can't get destructed and thus doesn't need
refcounting, module BTFs need that, so apply BTF refcounting universally when
BPF program is using BTF-powered attachment (tp_btf, fentry/fexit, etc). This
makes for simpler clean up code.
Now that BTF type ID is not enough to uniquely identify a BTF type, extend BPF
trampoline key to include BTF object ID. To differentiate that from target
program BPF ID, set 31st bit of type ID. BTF type IDs (at least currently) are
not allowed to take full 32 bits, so there is no danger of confusing that bit
with a valid BTF type ID.

This patch adds the verifier support to recognize inlined branch conditions.
The LLVM knows that the branch evaluates to the same value, but the verifier
couldn't track it. Hence causing valid programs to be rejected.
The potential LLVM workaround: https://reviews.llvm.org/D87428
can have undesired side effects, since LLVM doesn't know that
skb->data/data_end are being compared. LLVM has to introduce extra boolean
variable and use inline_asm trick to force easier for the verifier assembly.
Instead teach the verifier to recognize that
r1 = skb->data;
r1 += 10;
r2 = skb->data_end;
if (r1 > r2) {
here r1 points beyond packet_end and
subsequent
if (r1 > r2) // always evaluates to "true".

Pseudo_btf_id is a type of ld_imm insn that associates a btf_id to a
ksym so that further dereferences on the ksym can use the BTF info
to validate accesses. Internally, when seeing a pseudo_btf_id ld insn,
the verifier reads the btf_id stored in the insn[0]'s imm field and
marks the dst_reg as PTR_TO_BTF_ID. The btf_id points to a VAR_KIND,
which is encoded in btf_vminux by pahole. If the VAR is not of a struct
type, the dst reg will be marked as PTR_TO_MEM instead of PTR_TO_BTF_ID
and the mem_size is resolved to the size of the VAR's type.
>From the VAR btf_id, the verifier can also read the address of the
ksym's corresponding kernel var from kallsyms and use that to fill
dst_reg.
Therefore, the proper functionality of pseudo_btf_id depends on (1)
kallsyms and (2) the encoding of kernel global VARs in pahole, which
should be available since pahole v1.18.

The check_attach_btf_id() function really does three things:
1. It performs a bunch of checks on the program to ensure that the
attachment is valid.
2. It stores a bunch of state about the attachment being requested in
the verifier environment and struct bpf_prog objects.
3. It allocates a trampoline for the attachment.
This patch splits out (1.) and (3.) into separate functions which will
perform the checks, but return the computed values instead of directly
modifying the environment. This is done in preparation for reusing the
checks when the actual attachment is happening, which will allow tracing
programs to have multiple (compatible) attachments.
This also fixes a bug where a bunch of checks were skipped if a trampoline
already existed for the tracing target.

LD_[ABS|IND] instructions may return from the function early. bpf_tail_call
pseudo instruction is either fallthrough or return. Allow them in the

types. Allow ld_abs and tail_call in the main program even if it calls into
subprograms. In the past that was not ok to do for ld_abs, since it was JITed

This commit serves two things:
1) it optimizes BPF prologue/epilogue generation
2) it makes possible to have tailcalls within BPF subprogram
Both points are related to each other since without 1), 2) could not be
achieved.
In [1], Alexei says:
"The prologue will look like:
nop5
xor eax,eax // two new bytes if bpf_tail_call() is used in this
// function
push rbp
mov rbp, rsp
sub rsp, rounded_stack_depth
push rax // zero init tail_call counter
variable number of push rbx,r13,r14,r15
Then bpf_tail_call will pop variable number rbx,..
and final 'pop rax'
Then 'add rsp, size_of_current_stack_frame'
jmp to next function and skip over 'nop5; xor eax,eax; push rpb; mov
rbp, rsp'
This way new function will set its own stack size and will init tail
call
counter with whatever value the parent had.
If next function doesn't use bpf_tail_call it won't have 'xor eax,eax'.
Instead it would need to have 'nop2' in there."
Implement that suggestion.
Since the layout of stack is changed, tail call counter handling can not
rely anymore on popping it to rbx just like it have been handled for
constant prologue case and later overwrite of rbx with actual value of
rbx pushed to stack. Therefore, let's use one of the register (%rcx) that
is considered to be volatile/caller-saved and pop the value of tail call
counter in there in the epilogue.
Drop the BUILD_BUG_ON in emit_prologue and in
emit_bpf_tail_call_indirect where instruction layout is not constant
anymore.
Introduce new poke target, 'tailcall_bypass' to poke descriptor that is
dedicated for skipping the register pops and stack unwind that are
generated right before the actual jump to target program.
For case when the target program is not present, BPF program will skip
the pop instructions and nop5 dedicated for jmpq $target. An example of
such state when only R6 of callee saved registers is used by program:
ffffffffc0513aa1: e9 0e 00 00 00 jmpq 0xffffffffc0513ab4
ffffffffc0513aa6: 5b pop %rbx
ffffffffc0513aa7: 58 pop %rax
ffffffffc0513aa8: 48 81 c4 00 00 00 00 add $0x0,%rsp
ffffffffc0513aaf: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
ffffffffc0513ab4: 48 89 df mov %rbx,%rdi
When target program is inserted, the jump that was there to skip
pops/nop5 will become the nop5, so CPU will go over pops and do the
actual tailcall.
One might ask why there simply can not be pushes after the nop5?
In the following example snippet:
ffffffffc037030c: 48 89 fb mov %rdi,%rbx
(...)
ffffffffc0370332: 5b pop %rbx
ffffffffc0370333: 58 pop %rax
ffffffffc0370334: 48 81 c4 00 00 00 00 add $0x0,%rsp
ffffffffc037033b: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
ffffffffc0370340: 48 81 ec 00 00 00 00 sub $0x0,%rsp
ffffffffc0370347: 50 push %rax
ffffffffc0370348: 53 push %rbx
ffffffffc0370349: 48 89 df mov %rbx,%rdi
ffffffffc037034c: e8 f7 21 00 00 callq 0xffffffffc0372548
There is the bpf2bpf call (at ffffffffc037034c) right after the tailcall
and jump target is not present. ctx is in %rbx register and BPF
subprogram that we will call into on ffffffffc037034c is relying on it,
e.g. it will pick ctx from there. Such code layout is therefore broken
as we would overwrite the content of %rbx with the value that was pushed
on the prologue. That is the reason for the 'bypass' approach.
Special care needs to be taken during the install/update/remove of
tailcall target. In case when target program is not present, the CPU
must not execute the pop instructions that precede the tailcall.
To address that, the following states can be defined:
A nop, unwind, nop
B nop, unwind, tail
C skip, unwind, nop
D skip, unwind, tail
A is forbidden (lead to incorrectness). The state transitions between
tailcall install/update/remove will work as follows:
First install tail call f: C->D->B(f)
* poke the tailcall, after that get rid of the skip
Update tail call f to f': B(f)->B(f')
* poke the tailcall (poke->tailcall_target) and do NOT touch the
poke->tailcall_bypass
Remove tail call: B(f')->C(f')
* poke->tailcall_bypass is poked back to jump, then we wait the RCU
grace period so that other programs will finish its execution and
after that we are safe to remove the poke->tailcall_target
Install new tail call (f''): C(f')->D(f'')->B(f'').
* same as first step
This way CPU can never be exposed to "unwind, tail" state.
Last but not least, when tailcalls get mixed with bpf2bpf calls, it
would be possible to encounter the endless loop due to clearing the
tailcall counter if for example we would use the tailcall3-like from BPF
selftests program that would be subprogram-based, meaning the tailcall
would be present within the BPF subprogram.
This test, broken down to particular steps, would do:
entry -> set tailcall counter to 0, bump it by 1, tailcall to func0
func0 -> call subprog_tail
(we are NOT skipping the first 11 bytes of prologue and this subprogram
has a tailcall, therefore we clear the counter...)
subprog -> do the same thing as entry
and then loop forever.
To address this, the idea is to go through the call chain of bpf2bpf progs
and look for a tailcall presence throughout whole chain. If we saw a single
tail call then each node in this call chain needs to be marked as a subprog
that can reach the tailcall. We would later feed the JIT with this info
and:
- set eax to 0 only when tailcall is reachable and this is the entry prog
- if tailcall is reachable but there's no tailcall in insns of currently
JITed prog then push rax anyway, so that it will be possible to
propagate further down the call chain
- finally if tailcall is reachable, then we need to precede the 'call'
insn with mov rax, [rbp - (stack_depth + 8)]
Tail call related cases from test_verifier kselftest are also working
fine. Sample BPF programs that utilize tail calls (sockex3, tracex5)
work properly as well.

There are multiple use-cases when it's convenient to have access to bpf
map fields, both `struct bpf_map` and map type specific struct-s such as
`struct bpf_array`, `struct bpf_htab`, etc.
For example while working with sock arrays it can be necessary to
calculate the key based on map->max_entries (some_hash % max_entries).
Currently this is solved by communicating max_entries via "out-of-band"
channel, e.g. via additional map with known key to get info about target
map. That works, but is not very convenient and error-prone while
working with many maps.
In other cases necessary data is dynamic (i.e. unknown at loading time)
and it's impossible to get it at all. For example while working with a
hash table it can be convenient to know how much capacity is already
used (bpf_htab.count.counter for BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC case).
At the same time kernel knows this info and can provide it to bpf
program.
Fill this gap by adding support to access bpf map fields from bpf
program for both `struct bpf_map` and map type specific fields.
Support is implemented via btf_struct_access() so that a user can define
their own `struct bpf_map` or map type specific struct in their program
with only necessary fields and preserve_access_index attribute, cast a
map to this struct and use a field.
For example:
struct bpf_map {
__u32 max_entries;
} __attribute__((preserve_access_index));
struct bpf_array {
struct bpf_map map;
__u32 elem_size;
} __attribute__((preserve_access_index));
struct {
__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY);
__uint(max_entries, 4);
__type(key, __u32);
__type(value, __u32);
} m_array SEC(".maps");
SEC("cgroup_skb/egress")
int cg_skb(void *ctx)
{
struct bpf_array *array = (struct bpf_array *)&m_array;
struct bpf_map *map = (struct bpf_map *)&m_array;
/* .. use map->max_entries or array->map.max_entries .. */
}
Similarly to other btf_struct_access() use-cases (e.g. struct tcp_sock
in net/ipv4/bpf_tcp_ca.c) the patch allows access to any fields of
corresponding struct. Only reading from map fields is supported.
For btf_struct_access() to work there should be a way to know btf id of
a struct that corresponds to a map type. To get btf id there should be a
way to get a stringified name of map-specific struct, such as
"bpf_array", "bpf_htab", etc for a map type. Two new fields are added to
`struct bpf_map_ops` to handle it:
* .map_btf_name keeps a btf name of a struct returned by map_alloc();
* .map_btf_id is used to cache btf id of that struct.
To make btf ids calculation cheaper they're calculated once while
preparing btf_vmlinux and cached same way as it's done for btf_id field
of `struct bpf_func_proto`
While calculating btf ids, struct names are NOT checked for collision.
Collisions will be checked as a part of the work to prepare btf ids used
in verifier in compile time that should land soon. The only known
collision for `struct bpf_htab` (kernel/bpf/hashtab.c vs
net/core/sock_map.c) was fixed earlier.
Both new fields .map_btf_name and .map_btf_id must be set for a map type
for the feature to work. If neither is set for a map type, verifier will
return ENOTSUPP on a try to access map_ptr of corresponding type. If
just one of them set, it's verifier misconfiguration.
Only `struct bpf_array` for BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY and `struct bpf_htab` for
BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH are supported by this patch. Other map types will be
supported separately.
The feature is available only for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y and gated by
perfmon_capable() so that unpriv programs won't have access to bpf map
fields.

----------
There are two distinctive motivators for this work, which are not satisfied by
existing perf buffer, which prompted creation of a new ring buffer
implementation.
- more efficient memory utilization by sharing ring buffer across CPUs;
- preserving ordering of events that happen sequentially in time, even
across multiple CPUs (e.g., fork/exec/exit events for a task).
These two problems are independent, but perf buffer fails to satisfy both.
Both are a result of a choice to have per-CPU perf ring buffer. Both can be
also solved by having an MPSC implementation of ring buffer. The ordering
problem could technically be solved for perf buffer with some in-kernel
counting, but given the first one requires an MPSC buffer, the same solution
would solve the second problem automatically.
Semantics and APIs
------------------
Single ring buffer is presented to BPF programs as an instance of BPF map of
type BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF. Two other alternatives considered, but ultimately
rejected.
One way would be to, similar to BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY, make
BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF could represent an array of ring buffers, but not enforce
"same CPU only" rule. This would be more familiar interface compatible with
existing perf buffer use in BPF, but would fail if application needed more
advanced logic to lookup ring buffer by arbitrary key. HASH_OF_MAPS addresses
this with current approach. Additionally, given the performance of BPF
ringbuf, many use cases would just opt into a simple single ring buffer shared
among all CPUs, for which current approach would be an overkill.
Another approach could introduce a new concept, alongside BPF map, to
represent generic "container" object, which doesn't necessarily have key/value
interface with lookup/update/delete operations. This approach would add a lot
of extra infrastructure that has to be built for observability and verifier
support. It would also add another concept that BPF developers would have to
familiarize themselves with, new syntax in libbpf, etc. But then would really
provide no additional benefits over the approach of using a map.
BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF doesn't support lookup/update/delete operations, but so
doesn't few other map types (e.g., queue and stack; array doesn't support
delete, etc).
The approach chosen has an advantage of re-using existing BPF map
infrastructure (introspection APIs in kernel, libbpf support, etc), being
familiar concept (no need to teach users a new type of object in BPF program),
and utilizing existing tooling (bpftool). For common scenario of using
a single ring buffer for all CPUs, it's as simple and straightforward, as
would be with a dedicated "container" object. On the other hand, by being
a map, it can be combined with ARRAY_OF_MAPS and HASH_OF_MAPS map-in-maps to
implement a wide variety of topologies, from one ring buffer for each CPU
(e.g., as a replacement for perf buffer use cases), to a complicated
application hashing/sharding of ring buffers (e.g., having a small pool of
ring buffers with hashed task's tgid being a look up key to preserve order,
but reduce contention).
Key and value sizes are enforced to be zero. max_entries is used to specify
the size of ring buffer and has to be a power of 2 value.
There are a bunch of similarities between perf buffer
(BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY) and new BPF ring buffer semantics:
- variable-length records;
- if there is no more space left in ring buffer, reservation fails, no
blocking;
- memory-mappable data area for user-space applications for ease of
consumption and high performance;
- epoll notifications for new incoming data;
- but still the ability to do busy polling for new data to achieve the
lowest latency, if necessary.
BPF ringbuf provides two sets of APIs to BPF programs:
- bpf_ringbuf_output() allows to *copy* data from one place to a ring
buffer, similarly to bpf_perf_event_output();
- bpf_ringbuf_reserve()/bpf_ringbuf_commit()/bpf_ringbuf_discard() APIs
split the whole process into two steps. First, a fixed amount of space is
reserved. If successful, a pointer to a data inside ring buffer data area
is returned, which BPF programs can use similarly to a data inside
array/hash maps. Once ready, this piece of memory is either committed or
discarded. Discard is similar to commit, but makes consumer ignore the
record.
bpf_ringbuf_output() has disadvantage of incurring extra memory copy, because
record has to be prepared in some other place first. But it allows to submit
records of the length that's not known to verifier beforehand. It also closely
matches bpf_perf_event_output(), so will simplify migration significantly.
bpf_ringbuf_reserve() avoids the extra copy of memory by providing a memory
pointer directly to ring buffer memory. In a lot of cases records are larger
than BPF stack space allows, so many programs have use extra per-CPU array as
a temporary heap for preparing sample. bpf_ringbuf_reserve() avoid this needs
completely. But in exchange, it only allows a known constant size of memory to
be reserved, such that verifier can verify that BPF program can't access
memory outside its reserved record space. bpf_ringbuf_output(), while slightly
slower due to extra memory copy, covers some use cases that are not suitable
for bpf_ringbuf_reserve().
The difference between commit and discard is very small. Discard just marks
a record as discarded, and such records are supposed to be ignored by consumer
code. Discard is useful for some advanced use-cases, such as ensuring
all-or-nothing multi-record submission, or emulating temporary malloc()/free()
within single BPF program invocation.
Each reserved record is tracked by verifier through existing
reference-tracking logic, similar to socket ref-tracking. It is thus
impossible to reserve a record, but forget to submit (or discard) it.
bpf_ringbuf_query() helper allows to query various properties of ring buffer.
Currently 4 are supported:
- BPF_RB_AVAIL_DATA returns amount of unconsumed data in ring buffer;
- BPF_RB_RING_SIZE returns the size of ring buffer;
- BPF_RB_CONS_POS/BPF_RB_PROD_POS returns current logical possition of
consumer/producer, respectively.
Returned values are momentarily snapshots of ring buffer state and could be
off by the time helper returns, so this should be used only for
debugging/reporting reasons or for implementing various heuristics, that take
into account highly-changeable nature of some of those characteristics.
One such heuristic might involve more fine-grained control over poll/epoll
notifications about new data availability in ring buffer. Together with
BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP/BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP flags for output/commit/discard helpers,
it allows BPF program a high degree of control and, e.g., more efficient
batched notifications. Default self-balancing strategy, though, should be
adequate for most applications and will work reliable and efficiently already.
Design and implementation
-------------------------
This reserve/commit schema allows a natural way for multiple producers, either
on different CPUs or even on the same CPU/in the same BPF program, to reserve
independent records and work with them without blocking other producers. This
means that if BPF program was interruped by another BPF program sharing the
same ring buffer, they will both get a record reserved (provided there is
enough space left) and can work with it and submit it independently. This
applies to NMI context as well, except that due to using a spinlock during
reservation, in NMI context, bpf_ringbuf_reserve() might fail to get a lock,
in which case reservation will fail even if ring buffer is not full.
The ring buffer itself internally is implemented as a power-of-2 sized
circular buffer, with two logical and ever-increasing counters (which might
wrap around on 32-bit architectures, that's not a problem):
- consumer counter shows up to which logical position consumer consumed the
data;
- producer counter denotes amount of data reserved by all producers.
Each time a record is reserved, producer that "owns" the record will
successfully advance producer counter. At that point, data is still not yet
ready to be consumed, though. Each record has 8 byte header, which contains
the length of reserved record, as well as two extra bits: busy bit to denote
that record is still being worked on, and discard bit, which might be set at
commit time if record is discarded. In the latter case, consumer is supposed
to skip the record and move on to the next one. Record header also encodes
record's relative offset from the beginning of ring buffer data area (in
pages). This allows bpf_ringbuf_commit()/bpf_ringbuf_discard() to accept only
the pointer to the record itself, without requiring also the pointer to ring
buffer itself. Ring buffer memory location will be restored from record
metadata header. This significantly simplifies verifier, as well as improving
API usability.
Producer counter increments are serialized under spinlock, so there is
a strict ordering between reservations. Commits, on the other hand, are
completely lockless and independent. All records become available to consumer
in the order of reservations, but only after all previous records where
already committed. It is thus possible for slow producers to temporarily hold
off submitted records, that were reserved later.
Reservation/commit/consumer protocol is verified by litmus tests in
Documentation/litmus-test/bpf-rb.
One interesting implementation bit, that significantly simplifies (and thus
speeds up as well) implementation of both producers and consumers is how data
area is mapped twice contiguously back-to-back in the virtual memory. This
allows to not take any special measures for samples that have to wrap around
at the end of the circular buffer data area, because the next page after the
last data page would be first data page again, and thus the sample will still
appear completely contiguous in virtual memory. See comment and a simple ASCII
diagram showing this visually in bpf_ringbuf_area_alloc().
Another feature that distinguishes BPF ringbuf from perf ring buffer is
a self-pacing notifications of new data being availability.
bpf_ringbuf_commit() implementation will send a notification of new record
being available after commit only if consumer has already caught up right up
to the record being committed. If not, consumer still has to catch up and thus
will see new data anyways without needing an extra poll notification.
Benchmarks (see tools/testing/selftests/bpf/benchs/bench_ringbuf.c) show that
this allows to achieve a very high throughput without having to resort to
tricks like "notify only every Nth sample", which are necessary with perf
buffer. For extreme cases, when BPF program wants more manual control of
notifications, commit/discard/output helpers accept BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP and
BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP flags, which give full control over notifications of data
availability, but require extra caution and diligence in using this API.
Comparison to alternatives
--------------------------
Before considering implementing BPF ring buffer from scratch existing
alternatives in kernel were evaluated, but didn't seem to meet the needs. They
largely fell into few categores:
- per-CPU buffers (perf, ftrace, etc), which don't satisfy two motivations
outlined above (ordering and memory consumption);
- linked list-based implementations; while some were multi-producer designs,
consuming these from user-space would be very complicated and most
probably not performant; memory-mapping contiguous piece of memory is
simpler and more performant for user-space consumers;
- io_uring is SPSC, but also requires fixed-sized elements. Naively turning
SPSC queue into MPSC w/ lock would have subpar performance compared to
locked reserve + lockless commit, as with BPF ring buffer. Fixed sized
elements would be too limiting for BPF programs, given existing BPF
programs heavily rely on variable-sized perf buffer already;
- specialized implementations (like a new printk ring buffer, [0]) with lots
of printk-specific limitations and implications, that didn't seem to fit
well for intended use with BPF programs.

Implement permissions as stated in uapi/linux/capability.h
In order to do that the verifier allow_ptr_leaks flag is split
into four flags and they are set as:
env->allow_ptr_leaks = bpf_allow_ptr_leaks();
env->bypass_spec_v1 = bpf_bypass_spec_v1();
env->bypass_spec_v4 = bpf_bypass_spec_v4();
env->bpf_capable = bpf_capable();
The first three currently equivalent to perfmon_capable(), since leaking kernel
pointers and reading kernel memory via side channel attacks is roughly
equivalent to reading kernel memory with cap_perfmon.
'bpf_capable' enables bounded loops, precision tracking, bpf to bpf calls and
other verifier features. 'allow_ptr_leaks' enable ptr leaks, ptr conversions,
subtraction of pointers. 'bypass_spec_v1' disables speculative analysis in the
verifier, run time mitigations in bpf array, and enables indirect variable
access in bpf programs. 'bypass_spec_v4' disables emission of sanitation code
by the verifier.
That means that the networking BPF program loaded with CAP_BPF + CAP_NET_ADMIN
will have speculative checks done by the verifier and other spectre mitigation
applied. Such networking BPF program will not be able to leak kernel pointers
and will not be able to access arbitrary kernel memory.

It is not possible for the current verifier to track ALU32 and JMP ops
correctly. This can result in the verifier aborting with errors even though
the program should be verifiable. BPF codes that hit this can work around
it by changin int variables to 64-bit types, marking variables volatile,
etc. But this is all very ugly so it would be better to avoid these tricks.
But, the main reason to address this now is do_refine_retval_range() was
assuming return values could not be negative. Once we fixed this code that
was previously working will no longer work. See do_refine_retval_range()
patch for details. And we don't want to suddenly cause programs that used
to work to fail.
The simplest example code snippet that illustrates the problem is likely
this,
53: w8 = w0 // r8 <- [0, S32_MAX],
// w8 <- [-S32_MIN, X]
54: w8 <s 0 // r8 <- [0, U32_MAX]
// w8 <- [0, X]
The expected 64-bit and 32-bit bounds after each line are shown on the
right. The current issue is without the w* bounds we are forced to use
the worst case bound of [0, U32_MAX]. To resolve this type of case,
jmp32 creating divergent 32-bit bounds from 64-bit bounds, we add explicit
32-bit register bounds s32_{min|max}_value and u32_{min|max}_value. Then
from branch_taken logic creating new bounds we can track 32-bit bounds
explicitly.
The next case we observed is ALU ops after the jmp32,
53: w8 = w0 // r8 <- [0, S32_MAX],
// w8 <- [-S32_MIN, X]
54: w8 <s 0 // r8 <- [0, U32_MAX]
// w8 <- [0, X]
55: w8 += 1 // r8 <- [0, U32_MAX+1]
// w8 <- [0, X+1]
In order to keep the bounds accurate at this point we also need to track
ALU32 ops. To do this we add explicit ALU32 logic for each of the ALU
ops, mov, add, sub, etc.
Finally there is a question of how and when to merge bounds. The cases
enumerate here,
1. MOV ALU32 - zext 32-bit -> 64-bit
2. MOV ALU64 - copy 64-bit -> 32-bit
3. op ALU32 - zext 32-bit -> 64-bit
4. op ALU64 - n/a
5. jmp ALU32 - 64-bit: var32_off | upper_32_bits(var64_off)
6. jmp ALU64 - 32-bit: (>> (<< var64_off))
Details for each case,
For "MOV ALU32" BPF arch zero extends so we simply copy the bounds
from 32-bit into 64-bit ensuring we truncate var_off and 64-bit
bounds correctly. See zext_32_to_64.
For "MOV ALU64" copy all bounds including 32-bit into new register. If
the src register had 32-bit bounds the dst register will as well.
For "op ALU32" zero extend 32-bit into 64-bit the same as move,
see zext_32_to_64.
For "op ALU64" calculate both 32-bit and 64-bit bounds no merging
is done here. Except we have a special case. When RSH or ARSH is
done we can't simply ignore shifting bits from 64-bit reg into the
32-bit subreg. So currently just push bounds from 64-bit into 32-bit.
This will be correct in the sense that they will represent a valid
state of the register. However we could lose some accuracy if an
ARSH is following a jmp32 operation. We can handle this special
case in a follow up series.
For "jmp ALU32" mark 64-bit reg unknown and recalculate 64-bit bounds
from tnum by setting var_off to ((<<(>>var_off)) | var32_off). We
special case if 64-bit bounds has zero'd upper 32bits at which point
we can simply copy 32-bit bounds into 64-bit register. This catches
a common compiler trick where upper 32-bits are zeroed and then
32-bit ops are used followed by a 64-bit compare or 64-bit op on
a pointer. See __reg_combine_64_into_32().
For "jmp ALU64" cast the bounds of the 64bit to their 32-bit
counterpart. For example s32_min_value = (s32)reg->smin_value. For
tnum use only the lower 32bits via, (>>(<<var_off)). See
__reg_combine_64_into_32().

New llvm and old llvm with libbpf help produce BTF that distinguish global and
static functions. Unlike arguments of static function the arguments of global
functions cannot be removed or optimized away by llvm. The compiler has to use
exactly the arguments specified in a function prototype. The argument type
information allows the verifier validate each global function independently.
For now only supported argument types are pointer to context and scalars. In
the future pointers to structures, sizes, pointer to packet data can be
supported as well. Consider the following example:
static int f1(int ...)
{
...
}
int f3(int b);
int f2(int a)
{
f1(a) + f3(a);
}
int f3(int b)
{
...
}
int main(...)
{
f1(...) + f2(...) + f3(...);
}
The verifier will start its safety checks from the first global function f2().
It will recursively descend into f1() because it's static. Then it will check
that arguments match for the f3() invocation inside f2(). It will not descend
into f3(). It will finish f2() that has to be successfully verified for all
possible values of 'a'. Then it will proceed with f3(). That function also has
to be safe for all possible values of 'b'. Then it will start subprog 0 (which
is main() function). It will recursively descend into f1() and will skip full
check of f2() and f3(), since they are global. The order of processing global
functions doesn't affect safety, since all global functions must be proven safe
based on their arguments only.
Such function by function verification can drastically improve speed of the
verification and reduce complexity.
Note that the stack limit of 512 still applies to the call chain regardless whether
functions were static or global. The nested level of 8 also still applies. The
same recursion prevention checks are in place as well.
The type information and static/global kind is preserved after the verification
hence in the above example global function f2() and f3() can be replaced later
by equivalent functions with the same types that are loaded and verified later
without affecting safety of this main() program. Such replacement (re-linking)
of global functions is a subject of future patches.

Add tracking of constant keys into tail call maps. The signature of
bpf_tail_call_proto is that arg1 is ctx, arg2 map pointer and arg3
is a index key. The direct call approach for tail calls can be enabled
if the verifier asserted that for all branches leading to the tail call
helper invocation, the map pointer and index key were both constant
and the same.
Tracking of map pointers we already do from prior work via c93552c443
("bpf: properly enforce index mask to prevent out-of-bounds speculation")
and 09772d92cd ("bpf: avoid retpoline for lookup/update/ delete calls
on maps").
Given the tail call map index key is not on stack but directly in the
register, we can add similar tracking approach and later in fixup_bpf_calls()
add a poke descriptor to the progs poke_tab with the relevant information
for the JITing phase.
We internally reuse insn->imm for the rewritten BPF_JMP | BPF_TAIL_CALL
instruction in order to point into the prog's poke_tab, and keep insn->imm
as 0 as indicator that current indirect tail call emission must be used.
Note that publishing to the tracker must happen at the end of fixup_bpf_calls()
since adding elements to the poke_tab reallocates its memory, so we need
to wait until its in final state.
Future work can generalize and add similar approach to optimize plain
array map lookups. Difference there is that we need to look into the key
value that sits on stack. For clarity in bpf_insn_aux_data, map_state
has been renamed into map_ptr_state, so we get map_{ptr,key}_state as
trackers.

libbpf analyzes bpf C program, searches in-kernel BTF for given type name
and stores it into expected_attach_type.
The kernel verifier expects this btf_id to point to something like:
typedef void (*btf_trace_kfree_skb)(void *, struct sk_buff *skb, void *loc);
which represents signature of raw_tracepoint "kfree_skb".
Then btf_ctx_access() matches ctx+0 access in bpf program with 'skb'
and 'ctx+8' access with 'loc' arguments of "kfree_skb" tracepoint.
In first case it passes btf_id of 'struct sk_buff *' back to the verifier core
and 'void *' in second case.
Then the verifier tracks PTR_TO_BTF_ID as any other pointer type.
Like PTR_TO_SOCKET points to 'struct bpf_sock',
PTR_TO_TCP_SOCK points to 'struct bpf_tcp_sock', and so on.
PTR_TO_BTF_ID points to in-kernel structs.
If 1234 is btf_id of 'struct sk_buff' in vmlinux's BTF
then PTR_TO_BTF_ID#1234 points to one of in kernel skbs.
When PTR_TO_BTF_ID#1234 is dereferenced (like r2 = *(u64 *)r1 + 32)
the btf_struct_access() checks which field of 'struct sk_buff' is
at offset 32. Checks that size of access matches type definition
of the field and continues to track the dereferenced type.
If that field was a pointer to 'struct net_device' the r2's type
will be PTR_TO_BTF_ID#456. Where 456 is btf_id of 'struct net_device'
in vmlinux's BTF.
Such verifier analysis prevents "cheating" in BPF C program.
The program cannot cast arbitrary pointer to 'struct sk_buff *'
and access it. C compiler would allow type cast, of course,
but the verifier will notice type mismatch based on BPF assembly
and in-kernel BTF.

In-kernel BTF is trusted just like kallsyms and other build artifacts

Yet run this BTF image through BTF verifier to make sure

If in-kernel BTF is incorrect it means either gcc or pahole or kernel

At this point the verifier will notice that scalar R1 is used in map pointer adjustment.
R1 has to be precise for later operations on R0 to be validated properly.
The verifier will backtrack the above code in the following way:

regs=6 stack=0 before 670: (bf) r1 = r8 // after this insn R8 and R2 has to be precise
regs=104 stack=0 before 669: (2f) r2 *= r1 // after this one R8, R2, and R1
regs=106 stack=0 before 668: (3f) r2 /= r1
regs=106 stack=0 before 667: (bf) r2 = r8
regs=102 stack=0 before 666: (57) r8 &= 65535
regs=102 stack=0 before 665: (bf) r8 = r7
regs=82 stack=0 before 664: (15) if r1 == 0x0 goto pc+21
// this is the end of verifier state. The following regs will be marked precised:
R1_rw=invP(id=0,umax_value=65535,var_off=(0x0; 0xffff)) R7_rw=invP(id=0)
parent didn't have regs=82 stack=0 marks // so backtracking continues into parent state
last_idx 663 first_idx 655
regs=82 stack=0 before 663: (69) r1 = *(u16 *)(r0 +0) // R1 was assigned no need to track it further
regs=80 stack=0 before 662: (15) if r0 == 0x0 goto pc+23 // keep tracking R7
regs=80 stack=0 before 661: (85) call bpf_map_lookup_elem#1 // keep tracking R7

regs=1 stack=0 before 654: (85) call bpf_get_hash_recalc#34 // and in the parent frame it was a return value
// nothing further to backtrack
Two scalar registers not marked precise are equivalent from state pruning point of view.

Allow the verifier to validate the loops by simulating their execution.
Exisiting programs have used '#pragma unroll' to unroll the loops
by the compiler. Instead let the verifier simulate all iterations
of the loop.
In order to do that introduce parentage chain of bpf_verifier_state and
'branches' counter for the number of branches left to explore.
See more detailed algorithm description in bpf_verifier.h
This algorithm borrows the key idea from Edward Cree approach:

eBPF ISA specification requires high 32-bit cleared when low 32-bit
sub-register is written. This applies to destination register of ALU32 etc.
JIT back-ends must guarantee this semantic when doing code-gen. x86_64 and
AArch64 ISA has the same semantics, so the corresponding JIT back-end
doesn't need to do extra work.
However, 32-bit arches (arm, x86, nfp etc.) and some other 64-bit arches
(PowerPC, SPARC etc) need to do explicit zero extension to meet this
requirement, otherwise code like the following will fail.
u64_value = (u64) u32_value
... other uses of u64_value
This is because compiler could exploit the semantic described above and
save those zero extensions for extending u32_value to u64_value, these JIT
back-ends are expected to guarantee this through inserting extra zero
extensions which however could be a significant increase on the code size.
Some benchmarks show there could be ~40% sub-register writes out of total
insns, meaning at least ~40% extra code-gen.
One observation is these extra zero extensions are not always necessary.
Take above code snippet for example, it is possible u32_value will never be
casted into a u64, the value of high 32-bit of u32_value then could be
ignored and extra zero extension could be eliminated.
This patch implements this idea, insns defining sub-registers will be
marked when the high 32-bit of the defined sub-register matters. For
those unmarked insns, it is safe to eliminate high 32-bit clearnace for
them.
Algo:
- Split read flags into READ32 and READ64.
- Record index of insn that does sub-register write. Keep the index inside
reg state and update it during verifier insn walking.
- A full register read on a sub-register marks its definition insn as
needing zero extension on dst register.
A new sub-register write overrides the old one.
- When propagating read64 during path pruning, also mark any insn defining
a sub-register that is read in the pruned path as full-register.

All prune points inside a callee bpf function most likely will have
different callsites. For example, if function foo() is called from
two callsites the half of explored states in all prune points in foo()
will be useless for subsequent walking of one of those callsites.
Fortunately explored_states pruning heuristics keeps the number of states
per prune point small, but walking these states is still a waste of cpu
time when the callsite of the current state is different from the callsite
of the explored state.
To improve pruning logic convert explored_states into hash table and
use simple insn_idx ^ callsite hash to select hash bucket.
This optimization has no effect on programs without bpf2bpf calls
and drastically improves programs with calls.
In the later case it reduces total memory consumption in 1M scale tests
by almost 3 times (peak_states drops from 5752 to 2016).
Care should be taken when comparing the states for equivalency.
Since the same hash bucket can now contain states with different indices
the insn_idx has to be part of verifier_state and compared.
Different hash table sizes and different hash functions were explored,
but the results were not significantly better vs this patch.
They can be improved in the future.
Hit/miss heuristic is not counting index miscompare as a miss.
Otherwise verifier stats become unstable when experimenting
with different hash functions.

This generic extension to BPF maps allows for directly loading
an address residing inside a BPF map value as a single BPF
ldimm64 instruction!
The idea is similar to what BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD does today, which
is a special src_reg flag for ldimm64 instruction that indicates
that inside the first part of the double insns's imm field is a
file descriptor which the verifier then replaces as a full 64bit
address of the map into both imm parts. For the newly added
BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_VALUE src_reg flag, the idea is the following:
the first part of the double insns's imm field is again a file
descriptor corresponding to the map, and the second part of the
imm field is an offset into the value. The verifier will then
replace both imm parts with an address that points into the BPF
map value at the given value offset for maps that support this
operation. Currently supported is array map with single entry.
It is possible to support more than just single map element by
reusing both 16bit off fields of the insns as a map index, so
full array map lookup could be expressed that way. It hasn't
been implemented here due to lack of concrete use case, but
could easily be done so in future in a compatible way, since
both off fields right now have to be 0 and would correctly
denote a map index 0.
The BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_VALUE is a distinct flag as otherwise with
BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD we could not differ offset 0 between load of
map pointer versus load of map's value at offset 0, and changing
BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD's encoding into off by one to differ between
regular map pointer and map value pointer would add unnecessary
complexity and increases barrier for debugability thus less
suitable. Using the second part of the imm field as an offset
into the value does /not/ come with limitations since maximum
possible value size is in u32 universe anyway.
This optimization allows for efficiently retrieving an address
to a map value memory area without having to issue a helper call
which needs to prepare registers according to calling convention,
etc, without needing the extra NULL test, and without having to
add the offset in an additional instruction to the value base
pointer. The verifier then treats the destination register as
PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE with constant reg->off from the user passed
offset from the second imm field, and guarantees that this is
within bounds of the map value. Any subsequent operations are
normally treated as typical map value handling without anything
extra needed from verification side.
The two map operations for direct value access have been added to
array map for now. In future other types could be supported as
well depending on the use case. The main use case for this commit
is to allow for BPF loader support for global variables that
reside in .data/.rodata/.bss sections such that we can directly
load the address of them with minimal additional infrastructure
required. Loader support has been added in subsequent commits for
libbpf library.

Branch instructions, branch targets and calls in a bpf program are
the places where the verifier remembers states that led to successful
verification of the program.
These states are used to prune brute force program analysis.
For unprivileged programs there is a limit of 64 states per such
'branching' instructions (maximum length is tracked by max_states_per_insn
counter introduced in the previous patch).
Simply reducing this threshold to 32 or lower increases insn_processed
metric to the point that small valid programs get rejected.
For root programs there is no limit and cilium programs can have
max_states_per_insn to be 100 or higher.
Walking 100+ states multiplied by number of 'branching' insns during
verification consumes significant amount of cpu time.
Turned out simple LRU-like mechanism can be used to remove states
that unlikely will be helpful in future search pruning.
This patch introduces hit_cnt and miss_cnt counters:
hit_cnt - this many times this state successfully pruned the search
miss_cnt - this many times this state was not equivalent to other states
(and that other states were added to state list)
The heuristic introduced in this patch is:
if (sl->miss_cnt > sl->hit_cnt * 3 + 3)
/* drop this state from future considerations */
Higher numbers increase max_states_per_insn (allow more states to be
considered for pruning) and slow verification speed, but do not meaningfully
reduce insn_processed metric.
Lower numbers drop too many states and insn_processed increases too much.
Many different formulas were considered.
This one is simple and works well enough in practice.
(the analysis was done on selftests/progs/* and on cilium programs)
The end result is this heuristic improves verification speed by 10 times.
Large synthetic programs that used to take a second more now take
1/10 of a second.
In cases where max_states_per_insn used to be 100 or more, now it's ~10.
There is a slight increase in insn_processed for cilium progs:
before after
bpf_lb-DLB_L3.o 1831 1838
bpf_lb-DLB_L4.o 3029 3218
bpf_lb-DUNKNOWN.o 1064 1064
bpf_lxc-DDROP_ALL.o 26309 26935
bpf_lxc-DUNKNOWN.o 33517 34439
bpf_netdev.o 9713 9721
bpf_overlay.o 6184 6184
bpf_lcx_jit.o 37335 39389
And 2-3 times improvement in the verification speed.

In order to understand the verifier bottlenecks add various stats
and extend log_level:
log_level 1 and 2 are kept as-is:
bit 0 - level=1 - print every insn and verifier state at branch points
bit 1 - level=2 - print every insn and verifier state at every insn
bit 2 - level=4 - print verifier error and stats at the end of verification
When verifier rejects the program the libbpf is trying to load the program twice.
Once with log_level=0 (no messages, only error code is reported to user space)
and second time with log_level=1 to tell the user why the verifier rejected it.
With introduction of bit 2 - level=4 the libbpf can choose to always use that
level and load programs once, since the verification speed is not affected and
in case of error the verbose message will be available.
Note that the verifier stats are not part of uapi just like all other
verbose messages. They're expected to change in the future.
