This commit introduces a new pointer type 'kptr' which can be embedded
in a map value to hold a PTR_TO_BTF_ID stored by a BPF program during
its invocation. When storing such a kptr, BPF program's PTR_TO_BTF_ID
register must have the same type as in the map value's BTF, and loading
a kptr marks the destination register as PTR_TO_BTF_ID with the correct
kernel BTF and BTF ID.
Such kptr are unreferenced, i.e. by the time another invocation of the
BPF program loads this pointer, the object which the pointer points to
may not longer exist. Since PTR_TO_BTF_ID loads (using BPF_LDX) are
patched to PROBE_MEM loads by the verifier, it would safe to allow user
to still access such invalid pointer, but passing such pointers into
BPF helpers and kfuncs should not be permitted. A future patch in this
series will close this gap.
The flexibility offered by allowing programs to dereference such invalid
pointers while being safe at runtime frees the verifier from doing
complex lifetime tracking. As long as the user may ensure that the
object remains valid, it can ensure data read by it from the kernel
object is valid.
The user indicates that a certain pointer must be treated as kptr
capable of accepting stores of PTR_TO_BTF_ID of a certain type, by using
a BTF type tag 'kptr' on the pointed to type of the pointer. Then, this
information is recorded in the object BTF which will be passed into the
kernel by way of map's BTF information. The name and kind from the map
value BTF is used to look up the in-kernel type, and the actual BTF and
BTF ID is recorded in the map struct in a new kptr_off_tab member. For
now, only storing pointers to structs is permitted.
An example of this specification is shown below:
#define __kptr __attribute__((btf_type_tag("kptr")))
struct map_value {
...
struct task_struct __kptr *task;
...
};
Then, in a BPF program, user may store PTR_TO_BTF_ID with the type
task_struct into the map, and then load it later.
Note that the destination register is marked PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL, as
the verifier cannot know whether the value is NULL or not statically, it
must treat all potential loads at that map value offset as loading a
possibly NULL pointer.
Only BPF_LDX, BPF_STX, and BPF_ST (with insn->imm = 0 to denote NULL)
are allowed instructions that can access such a pointer. On BPF_LDX, the
destination register is updated to be a PTR_TO_BTF_ID, and on BPF_STX,
it is checked whether the source register type is a PTR_TO_BTF_ID with
same BTF type as specified in the map BTF. The access size must always
be BPF_DW.
For the map in map support, the kptr_off_tab for outer map is copied
from the inner map's kptr_off_tab. It was chosen to do a deep copy
instead of introducing a refcount to kptr_off_tab, because the copy only
needs to be done when paramterizing using inner_map_fd in the map in map
case, hence would be unnecessary for all other users.
It is not permitted to use MAP_FREEZE command and mmap for BPF map
having kptrs, similar to the bpf_timer case. A kptr also requires that
BPF program has both read and write access to the map (hence both
BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG and BPF_F_WRONLY_PROG are disallowed).
Note that check_map_access must be called from both
check_helper_mem_access and for the BPF instructions, hence the kptr
check must distinguish between ACCESS_DIRECT and ACCESS_HELPER, and
reject ACCESS_HELPER cases. We rename stack_access_src to bpf_access_src
and reuse it for this purpose.

BTF is required for 'struct bpf_timer' to be recognized inside map value.
The bpf timers are supported inside inner maps.
Remember 'struct btf *' in inner_map_meta to make it available
to the verifier in the sequence:
struct bpf_map *inner_map = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&outer_map, ...);
if (inner_map)
timer = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&inner_map, ...);

Restrict bpf timers to array, hash (both preallocated and kmalloced), and
lru map types. The per-cpu maps with timers don't make sense, since 'struct
bpf_timer' is a part of map value. bpf timers in per-cpu maps would mean that
the number of timers depends on number of possible cpus and timers would not be
accessible from all cpus. lpm map support can be added in the future.
The timers in inner maps are supported.
The bpf_map_update/delete_elem() helpers and sys_bpf commands cancel and free
bpf_timer in a given map element.
Similar to 'struct bpf_spin_lock' BTF is required and it is used to validate
that map element indeed contains 'struct bpf_timer'.
Make check_and_init_map_value() init both bpf_spin_lock and bpf_timer when
map element data is reused in preallocated htab and lru maps.
Teach copy_map_value() to support both bpf_spin_lock and bpf_timer in a single
map element. There could be one of each, but not more than one. Due to 'one
bpf_timer in one element' restriction do not support timers in global data,
since global data is a map of single element, but from bpf program side it's
seen as many global variables and restriction of single global timer would be
odd. The sys_bpf map_freeze and sys_mmap syscalls are not allowed on maps with
timers, since user space could have corrupted mmap element and crashed the
kernel. The maps with timers cannot be readonly. Due to these restrictions
search for bpf_timer in datasec BTF in case it was placed in the global data to
report clear error.
The previous patch allowed 'struct bpf_timer' as a first field in a map
element only. Relax this restriction.
Refactor lru map to s/bpf_lru_push_free/htab_lru_push_free/ to cancel and free
the timer when lru map deletes an element as a part of it eviction algorithm.
Make sure that bpf program cannot access 'struct bpf_timer' via direct load/store.
The timer operation are done through helpers only.
This is similar to 'struct bpf_spin_lock'.

Most of the maps do not use max_entries during verification time.
Thus, those map_meta_equal() do not need to enforce max_entries
when it is inserted as an inner map during runtime. The max_entries
check is removed from the default implementation bpf_map_meta_equal().
The prog_array_map and xsk_map are exception. Its map_gen_lookup
uses max_entries to generate inline lookup code. Thus, they will
implement its own map_meta_equal() to enforce max_entries.
Since there are only two cases now, the max_entries check
is not refactored and stays in its own .c file.

Some properties of the inner map is used in the verification time.
When an inner map is inserted to an outer map at runtime,
bpf_map_meta_equal() is currently used to ensure those properties
of the inserting inner map stays the same as the verification
time.
In particular, the current bpf_map_meta_equal() checks max_entries which
turns out to be too restrictive for most of the maps which do not use
max_entries during the verification time. It limits the use case that
wants to replace a smaller inner map with a larger inner map. There are
some maps do use max_entries during verification though. For example,
the map_gen_lookup in array_map_ops uses the max_entries to generate
the inline lookup code.
To accommodate differences between maps, the map_meta_equal is added
to bpf_map_ops. Each map-type can decide what to check when its
map is used as an inner map during runtime.
Also, some map types cannot be used as an inner map and they are
currently black listed in bpf_map_meta_alloc() in map_in_map.c.
It is not unusual that the new map types may not aware that such
blacklist exists. This patch enforces an explicit opt-in
and only allows a map to be used as an inner map if it has
implemented the map_meta_equal ops. It is based on the
discussion in [1].
All maps that support inner map has its map_meta_equal points
to bpf_map_meta_equal in this patch. A later patch will
relax the max_entries check for most maps. bpf_types.h
counts 28 map types. This patch adds 23 ".map_meta_equal"
by using coccinelle. -5 for
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY
BPF_MAP_TYPE_(PERCPU)_CGROUP_STORAGE
BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS
BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS
BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS
The "if (inner_map->inner_map_meta)" check in bpf_map_meta_alloc()
is moved such that the same error is returned.

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.

The patch introduces BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS. The map value
is a kernel struct with its func ptr implemented in bpf prog.
This new map is the interface to register/unregister/introspect
a bpf implemented kernel struct.
The kernel struct is actually embedded inside another new struct
(or called the "value" struct in the code). For example,
"struct tcp_congestion_ops" is embbeded in:
struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops {
refcount_t refcnt;
enum bpf_struct_ops_state state;
struct tcp_congestion_ops data; /* <-- kernel subsystem struct here */
}
The map value is "struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops".
The "bpftool map dump" will then be able to show the
state ("inuse"/"tobefree") and the number of subsystem's refcnt (e.g.
number of tcp_sock in the tcp_congestion_ops case). This "value" struct
is created automatically by a macro. Having a separate "value" struct
will also make extending "struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ" easier (e.g. adding
"void (*init)(void)" to "struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ" to do some
initialization works before registering the struct_ops to the kernel
subsystem). The libbpf will take care of finding and populating the
"struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ" from "struct XYZ".
Register a struct_ops to a kernel subsystem:
1. Load all needed BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog(s)
2. Create a BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS with attr->btf_vmlinux_value_type_id
set to the btf id "struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops" of the
running kernel.
Instead of reusing the attr->btf_value_type_id,
btf_vmlinux_value_type_id s added such that attr->btf_fd can still be
used as the "user" btf which could store other useful sysadmin/debug
info that may be introduced in the furture,
e.g. creation-date/compiler-details/map-creator...etc.
3. Create a "struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops" object as described
in the running kernel btf. Populate the value of this object.
The function ptr should be populated with the prog fds.
4. Call BPF_MAP_UPDATE with the object created in (3) as
the map value. The key is always "0".
During BPF_MAP_UPDATE, the code that saves the kernel-func-ptr's
args as an array of u64 is generated. BPF_MAP_UPDATE also allows
the specific struct_ops to do some final checks in "st_ops->init_member()"
(e.g. ensure all mandatory func ptrs are implemented).
If everything looks good, it will register this kernel struct
to the kernel subsystem. The map will not allow further update
from this point.
Unregister a struct_ops from the kernel subsystem:
BPF_MAP_DELETE with key "0".
Introspect a struct_ops:
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM with key "0". The map value returned will
have the prog _id_ populated as the func ptr.
The map value state (enum bpf_struct_ops_state) will transit from:
INIT (map created) =>
INUSE (map updated, i.e. reg) =>
TOBEFREE (map value deleted, i.e. unreg)
The kernel subsystem needs to call bpf_struct_ops_get() and
bpf_struct_ops_put() to manage the "refcnt" in the
"struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ". This patch uses a separate refcnt
for the purose of tracking the subsystem usage. Another approach
is to reuse the map->refcnt and then "show" (i.e. during map_lookup)
the subsystem's usage by doing map->refcnt - map->usercnt to filter out
the map-fd/pinned-map usage. However, that will also tie down the
future semantics of map->refcnt and map->usercnt.
The very first subsystem's refcnt (during reg()) holds one
count to map->refcnt. When the very last subsystem's refcnt
is gone, it will also release the map->refcnt. All bpf_prog will be
freed when the map->refcnt reaches 0 (i.e. during map_free()).
Here is how the bpftool map command will look like:
[root@arch-fb-vm1 bpf]# bpftool map show
6: struct_ops name dctcp flags 0x0
key 4B value 256B max_entries 1 memlock 4096B
btf_id 6
[root@arch-fb-vm1 bpf]# bpftool map dump id 6

}
}
}
]
Misc Notes:
* bpf_struct_ops_map_sys_lookup_elem() is added for syscall lookup.
It does an inplace update on "*value" instead returning a pointer
to syscall.c. Otherwise, it needs a separate copy of "zero" value
for the BPF_STRUCT_OPS_STATE_INIT to avoid races.
* The bpf_struct_ops_map_delete_elem() is also called without
preempt_disable() from map_delete_elem(). It is because
the "->unreg()" may requires sleepable context, e.g.
the "tcp_unregister_congestion_control()".
* "const" is added to some of the existing "struct btf_func_model *"
function arg to avoid a compiler warning caused by this patch.

92117d8443 ("bpf: fix refcnt overflow") turned refcounting of bpf_map into
potentially failing operation, when refcount reaches BPF_MAX_REFCNT limit
(32k). Due to using 32-bit counter, it's possible in practice to overflow
refcounter and make it wrap around to 0, causing erroneous map free, while
there are still references to it, causing use-after-free problems.
But having a failing refcounting operations are problematic in some cases. One
example is mmap() interface. After establishing initial memory-mapping, user
is allowed to arbitrarily map/remap/unmap parts of mapped memory, arbitrarily
splitting it into multiple non-contiguous regions. All this happening without
any control from the users of mmap subsystem. Rather mmap subsystem sends
notifications to original creator of memory mapping through open/close
callbacks, which are optionally specified during initial memory mapping
creation. These callbacks are used to maintain accurate refcount for bpf_map
(see next patch in this series). The problem is that open() callback is not
supposed to fail, because memory-mapped resource is set up and properly
referenced. This is posing a problem for using memory-mapping with BPF maps.
One solution to this is to maintain separate refcount for just memory-mappings
and do single bpf_map_inc/bpf_map_put when it goes from/to zero, respectively.
There are similar use cases in current work on tcp-bpf, necessitating extra
counter as well. This seems like a rather unfortunate and ugly solution that
doesn't scale well to various new use cases.
Another approach to solve this is to use non-failing refcount_t type, which
uses 32-bit counter internally, but, once reaching overflow state at UINT_MAX,
stays there. This utlimately causes memory leak, but prevents use after free.
But given refcounting is not the most performance-critical operation with BPF
maps (it's not used from running BPF program code), we can also just switch to
64-bit counter that can't overflow in practice, potentially disadvantaging
32-bit platforms a tiny bit. This simplifies semantics and allows above
described scenarios to not worry about failing refcount increment operation.

Commit d83525ca62 ("bpf: introduce bpf_spin_lock")
introduced bpf_spin_lock and the field spin_lock_off
in kernel internal structure bpf_map has the following
meaning:
>=0 valid offset, <0 error
For every map created, the kernel will ensure
spin_lock_off has correct value.
Currently, bpf_map->spin_lock_off is not copied
from the inner map to the map_in_map inner_map_meta
during a map_in_map type map creation, so
inner_map_meta->spin_lock_off = 0.
This will give verifier wrong information that
inner_map has bpf_spin_lock and the bpf_spin_lock
is defined at offset 0. An access to offset 0
of a value pointer will trigger the following error:
bpf_spin_lock cannot be accessed directly by load/store
This patch fixed the issue by copy inner map's spin_lock_off
value to inner_map_meta->spin_lock_off.

Introduce 'struct bpf_spin_lock' and bpf_spin_lock/unlock() helpers to let
bpf program serialize access to other variables.
Example:
struct hash_elem {
int cnt;
struct bpf_spin_lock lock;
};
struct hash_elem * val = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&hash_map, &key);
if (val) {
bpf_spin_lock(&val->lock);
val->cnt++;
bpf_spin_unlock(&val->lock);
}
Restrictions and safety checks:
- bpf_spin_lock is only allowed inside HASH and ARRAY maps.
- BTF description of the map is mandatory for safety analysis.
- bpf program can take one bpf_spin_lock at a time, since two or more can
cause dead locks.
- only one 'struct bpf_spin_lock' is allowed per map element.
It drastically simplifies implementation yet allows bpf program to use
any number of bpf_spin_locks.
- when bpf_spin_lock is taken the calls (either bpf2bpf or helpers) are not allowed.
- bpf program must bpf_spin_unlock() before return.
- bpf program can access 'struct bpf_spin_lock' only via
bpf_spin_lock()/bpf_spin_unlock() helpers.
- load/store into 'struct bpf_spin_lock lock;' field is not allowed.
- to use bpf_spin_lock() helper the BTF description of map value must be
a struct and have 'struct bpf_spin_lock anyname;' field at the top level.
Nested lock inside another struct is not allowed.
- syscall map_lookup doesn't copy bpf_spin_lock field to user space.
- syscall map_update and program map_update do not update bpf_spin_lock field.
- bpf_spin_lock cannot be on the stack or inside networking packet.
bpf_spin_lock can only be inside HASH or ARRAY map value.
- bpf_spin_lock is available to root only and to all program types.
- bpf_spin_lock is not allowed in inner maps of map-in-map.
- ld_abs is not allowed inside spin_lock-ed region.
- tracing progs and socket filter progs cannot use bpf_spin_lock due to
insufficient preemption checks
Implementation details:
- cgroup-bpf class of programs can nest with xdp/tc programs.
Hence bpf_spin_lock is equivalent to spin_lock_irqsave.
Other solutions to avoid nested bpf_spin_lock are possible.
Like making sure that all networking progs run with softirq disabled.
spin_lock_irqsave is the simplest and doesn't add overhead to the
programs that don't use it.
- arch_spinlock_t is used when its implemented as queued_spin_lock
- archs can force their own arch_spinlock_t
- on architectures where queued_spin_lock is not available and
sizeof(arch_spinlock_t) != sizeof(__u32) trivial lock is used.
- presence of bpf_spin_lock inside map value could have been indicated via
extra flag during map_create, but specifying it via BTF is cleaner.
It provides introspection for map key/value and reduces user mistakes.
Next steps:
- allow bpf_spin_lock in other map types (like cgroup local storage)
- introduce BPF_F_LOCK flag for bpf_map_update() syscall and helper
to request kernel to grab bpf_spin_lock before rewriting the value.
That will serialize access to map elements.

Explicitly forbid creating map of per-cpu cgroup local storages.
This behavior matches the behavior of shared cgroup storages.

As there is one-to-one relation between a bpf program
and cgroup local storage map, there is no sense in
creating a map of cgroup local storage maps.
Forbid it explicitly to avoid possible side effects.

This patch allows userspace to do BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM on
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY,
BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS and
BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS.
The lookup returns a prog-id or map-id to the userspace.
The userspace can then use the BPF_PROG_GET_FD_BY_ID
or BPF_MAP_GET_FD_BY_ID to get a fd.

This patch adds a few helper funcs to enable map-in-map
support (i.e. outer_map->inner_map). The first outer_map type
BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS is also added in this patch.
The next patch will introduce a hash of maps type.
Any bpf map type can be acted as an inner_map. The exception
is BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY because the extra level of
indirection makes it harder to verify the owner_prog_type
and owner_jited.
Multi-level map-in-map is not supported (i.e. map->map is ok
but not map->map->map).
When adding an inner_map to an outer_map, it currently checks the
map_type, key_size, value_size, map_flags, max_entries and ops.
The verifier also uses those map's properties to do static analysis.
map_flags is needed because we need to ensure BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
is using a preallocated hashtab for the inner_hash also. ops and
max_entries are needed to generate inlined map-lookup instructions.
For simplicity reason, a simple '==' test is used for both map_flags
and max_entries. The equality of ops is implied by the equality of
map_type.
During outer_map creation time, an inner_map_fd is needed to create an
outer_map. However, the inner_map_fd's life time does not depend on the
outer_map. The inner_map_fd is merely used to initialize
the inner_map_meta of the outer_map.
Also, for the outer_map:
* It allows element update and delete from syscall
* It allows element lookup from bpf_prog
The above is similar to the current fd_array pattern.
