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.

Commit 15d83c4d7c ("bpf: Allow loading of a bpf_iter program")
cached btf_id in struct bpf_iter_target_info so later on
if it can be checked cheaply compared to checking registered names.
syzbot found a bug that uninitialized value may occur to
bpf_iter_target_info->btf_id. This is because we allocated
bpf_iter_target_info structure with kmalloc and never initialized
field btf_id afterwards. This uninitialized btf_id is typically
compared to a u32 bpf program func proto btf_id, and the chance
of being equal is extremely slim.
This patch fixed the issue by using kzalloc which will also
prevent future likely instances due to adding new fields.

The fix is to limit the number of bpf program runs to be
one million. This fixed the program in most cases. But
we also found under heavy load, which can increase the wallclock
time for bpf_seq_read(), the warning may still be possible.
For example, calling bpf_delay() in the "while" loop of
bpf_seq_read(), which will introduce artificial delay,
the warning will show up in my qemu run.
static unsigned q;
volatile unsigned *p = &q;
volatile unsigned long long ll;
static void bpf_delay(void)
{
int i, j;
for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
for (j = 0; j < 10000; j++)
ll += *p;
}
There are two ways to fix this issue. One is to reduce the above
one million threshold to say 100,000 and hopefully rcu warning will
not show up any more. Another is to introduce a target feature
which enables bpf_seq_read() calling cond_resched().
This patch took second approach as the first approach may cause
more -EAGAIN failures for read() syscalls. Note that not all bpf_iter
targets can permit cond_resched() in bpf_seq_read() as some, e.g.,
netlink seq iterator, rcu read lock critical section spans through
seq_ops->next() -> seq_ops->show() -> seq_ops->next().
For the kernel code with the above hack, "bpftool p" roughly takes
38 seconds to finish on my VM with 184 bpf program runs.
Using the following command, I am able to collect the number of
context switches:
perf stat -e context-switches -- ./bpftool p >& log
Without this patch,
69 context-switches
With this patch,
75 context-switches
This patch added additional 6 context switches, roughly every 6 seconds
to reschedule, to avoid lengthy no-rescheduling which may cause the
above RCU warnings.

The general interface for show_fdinfo and fill_link_info
will print/fill the target_name. Each targets can

Note that `bpftool prog` actually calls a task_file bpf iterator
program to establish an association between prog/map/link/btf anon
files and processes.
In the case where the above rcu stall occured, we had a process
having 1587 tasks and each task having roughly 81305 files.
This implied 129 million bpf prog invocations. Unfortunwtely none of
these files are prog/map/link/btf files so bpf iterator/prog needs
to traverse all these files and not able to return to user space
since there are no seq_file buffer overflow.
This patch fixed the issue in bpf_seq_read() to limit the number
of visited objects. If the maximum number of visited objects is
reached, no more objects will be visited in the current syscall.
If there is nothing written in the seq_file buffer, -EAGAIN will
return to the user so user can try again.
The maximum number of visited objects is set at 1 million.
In our Intel Xeon D-2191 2.3GHZ 18-core server, bpf_seq_read()
visiting 1 million files takes around 0.18 seconds.
We did not use cond_resched() since for some iterators, e.g.,
netlink iterator, where rcu read_lock critical section spans between
consecutive seq_ops->next(), which makes impossible to do cond_resched()
in the key while loop of function bpf_seq_read().

Commit a5cbe05a66 ("bpf: Implement bpf iterator for
map elements") added bpf iterator support for
map elements. The map element bpf iterator requires
info to identify a particular map. In the above
commit, the attr->link_create.target_fd is used
to carry map_fd and an enum bpf_iter_link_info
is added to uapi to specify the target_fd actually
representing a map_fd:
enum bpf_iter_link_info {
BPF_ITER_LINK_UNSPEC = 0,
BPF_ITER_LINK_MAP_FD = 1,
MAX_BPF_ITER_LINK_INFO,
};
This is an extensible approach as we can grow
enumerator for pid, cgroup_id, etc. and we can
unionize target_fd for pid, cgroup_id, etc.
But in the future, there are chances that
more complex customization may happen, e.g.,
for tasks, it could be filtered based on
both cgroup_id and user_id.
This patch changed the uapi to have fields
__aligned_u64 iter_info;
__u32 iter_info_len;
for additional iter_info for link_create.
The iter_info is defined as
union bpf_iter_link_info {
struct {
__u32 map_fd;
} map;
};
So future extension for additional customization
will be easier. The bpf_iter_link_info will be
passed to target callback to validate and generic
bpf_iter framework does not need to deal it any
more.
Note that map_fd = 0 will be considered invalid
and -EBADF will be returned to user space.

The bpf iterator for map elements are implemented.
The bpf program will receive four parameters:
bpf_iter_meta *meta: the meta data
bpf_map *map: the bpf_map whose elements are traversed
void *key: the key of one element
void *value: the value of the same element
Here, meta and map pointers are always valid, and
key has register type PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF_OR_NULL and
value has register type PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF_OR_NULL.
The kernel will track the access range of key and value
during verification time. Later, these values will be compared
against the values in the actual map to ensure all accesses
are within range.
A new field iter_seq_info is added to bpf_map_ops which
is used to add map type specific information, i.e., seq_ops,
init/fini seq_file func and seq_file private data size.
Subsequent patches will have actual implementation
for bpf_map_ops->iter_seq_info.
In user space, BPF_ITER_LINK_MAP_FD needs to be
specified in prog attr->link_create.flags, which indicates
that attr->link_create.target_fd is a map_fd.
The reason for such an explicit flag is for possible
future cases where one bpf iterator may allow more than
one possible customization, e.g., pid and cgroup id for
task_file.
Current kernel internal implementation only allows
the target to register at most one required bpf_iter_link_info.
To support the above case, optional bpf_iter_link_info's
are needed, the target can be extended to register such link
infos, and user provided link_info needs to match one of
target supported ones.

There is no functionality change for this patch.
Struct bpf_iter_reg is used to register a bpf_iter target,
which includes information for both prog_load, link_create
and seq_file creation.
This patch puts fields related seq_file creation into
a different structure. This will be useful for map
elements iterator where one iterator covers different
map types and different map types may have different
seq_ops, init/fini private_data function and

Commit b121b341e5 ("bpf: Add PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL
support") adds a field btf_id_or_null_non0_off to
bpf_prog->aux structure to indicate that the
first ctx argument is PTR_TO_BTF_ID reg_type and
all others are PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL.
This approach does not really scale if we have
other different reg types in the future, e.g.,
a pointer to a buffer.
This patch enables bpf_iter targets registering ctx argument
reg types which may be different from the default one.
For example, for pointers to structures, the default reg_type
is PTR_TO_BTF_ID for tracing program. The target can register
a particular pointer type as PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL which can
be used by the verifier to enforce accesses.

Add a short comment in bpf_iter_run_prog() function to
explain how bpf_prog return value is converted to
seq_ops->show() return value:
bpf_prog return seq_ops()->show() return
0 0
1 -EAGAIN
When show() return value is -EAGAIN, the current
bpf_seq_read() will end. If the current seq_file buffer
is empty, -EAGAIN will return to user space. Otherwise,
the buffer will be copied to user space.
In both cases, the next bpf_seq_read() call will

Macro DEFINE_BPF_ITER_FUNC is implemented so target
can define an init function to capture the BTF type
which represents the target.
The bpf_iter_meta is a structure holding meta data, common
to all targets in the bpf program.
Additional marker functions are called before or after
bpf_seq_read() show()/next()/stop() callback functions
to help calculate precise seq_num and whether call bpf_prog
inside stop().
Two functions, bpf_iter_get_info() and bpf_iter_run_prog(),
are implemented so target can get needed information from
bpf_iter infrastructure and can run the program.

To produce a file bpf iterator, the fd must be
corresponding to a link_fd assocciated with a
trace/iter program. When the pinned file is
opened, a seq_file will be generated.

A new bpf command BPF_ITER_CREATE is added.
The anonymous bpf iterator is seq_file based.
The seq_file private data are referenced by targets.
The bpf_iter infrastructure allocated additional space
at seq_file->private before the space used by targets
to store some meta data, e.g.,
prog: prog to run
session_id: an unique id for each opened seq_file
seq_num: how many times bpf programs are queried in this session
done_stop: an internal state to decide whether bpf program
should be called in seq_ops->stop() or not
The seq_num will start from 0 for valid objects.
The bpf program may see the same seq_num more than once if
- seq_file buffer overflow happens and the same object
is retried by bpf_seq_read(), or
- the bpf program explicitly requests a retry of the
same object
Since module is not supported for bpf_iter, all target
registeration happens at __init time, so there is no
need to change bpf_iter_unreg_target() as it is used
mostly in error path of the init function at which time
no bpf iterators have been created yet.

bpf iterator uses seq_file to provide a lossless
way to transfer data to user space. But we want to call
bpf program after all objects have been traversed, and
bpf program may write additional data to the
seq_file buffer. The current seq_read() does not work
for this use case.
Besides allowing stop() function to write to the buffer,
the bpf_seq_read() also fixed the buffer size to one page.
If any single call of show() or stop() will emit data
more than one page to cause overflow, -E2BIG error code
will be returned to user space.

Added BPF_LINK_UPDATE support for tracing/iter programs.
This way, a file based bpf iterator, which holds a reference
to the link, can have its bpf program updated without
creating new files.

Given a bpf program, the step to create an anonymous bpf iterator is:
- create a bpf_iter_link, which combines bpf program and the target.
In the future, there could be more information recorded in the link.
A link_fd will be returned to the user space.
- create an anonymous bpf iterator with the given link_fd.
The bpf_iter_link can be pinned to bpffs mount file system to
create a file based bpf iterator as well.
The benefit to use of bpf_iter_link:
- using bpf link simplifies design and implementation as bpf link
is used for other tracing bpf programs.
- for file based bpf iterator, bpf_iter_link provides a standard
way to replace underlying bpf programs.
- for both anonymous and free based iterators, bpf link query
capability can be leveraged.
The patch added support of tracing/iter programs for BPF_LINK_CREATE.
A new link type BPF_LINK_TYPE_ITER is added to facilitate link
querying. Currently, only prog_id is needed, so there is no
additional in-kernel show_fdinfo() and fill_link_info() hook
is needed for BPF_LINK_TYPE_ITER link.

A bpf_iter program is a tracing program with attach type
BPF_TRACE_ITER. The load attribute
attach_btf_id
is used by the verifier against a particular kernel function,
which represents a target, e.g., __bpf_iter__bpf_map
for target bpf_map which is implemented later.
The program return value must be 0 or 1 for now.
0 : successful, except potential seq_file buffer overflow
which is handled by seq_file reader.
1 : request to restart the same object
In the future, other return values may be used for filtering or
teminating the iterator.

The target can call bpf_iter_reg_target() to register itself.
The needed information:
target: target name
seq_ops: the seq_file operations for the target
init_seq_private target callback to initialize seq_priv during file open
fini_seq_private target callback to clean up seq_priv during file release
seq_priv_size: the private_data size needed by the seq_file
operations
The target name represents a target which provides a seq_ops
for iterating objects.
The target can provide two callback functions, init_seq_private
and fini_seq_private, called during file open/release time.
For example, /proc/net/{tcp6, ipv6_route, netlink, ...}, net
name space needs to be setup properly during file open and
released properly during file release.
Function bpf_iter_unreg_target() is also implemented to unregister
a particular target.
