bpf: add script and prepare bpf.h for new helpers documentation Remove previous "overview" of eBPF helpers from user bpf.h header. Replace it by a comment explaining how to process the new documentation (to come in following patches) with a Python script to produce RST, then man page documentation. Also add the aforementioned Python script under scripts/. It is used to process include/uapi/linux/bpf.h and to extract helper descriptions, to turn it into a RST document that can further be processed with rst2man to produce a man page. The script takes one "--filename <path/to/file>" option. If the script is launched from scripts/ in the kernel root directory, it should be able to find the location of the header to parse, and "--filename <path/to/file>" is then optional. If it cannot find the file, then the option becomes mandatory. RST-formatted documentation is printed to standard output. Typical workflow for producing the final man page would be: $ ./scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py \ --filename include/uapi/linux/bpf.h > /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst $ rst2man /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst > /tmp/bpf-helpers.7 $ man /tmp/bpf-helpers.7 Note that the tool kernel-doc cannot be used to document eBPF helpers, whose signatures are not available directly in the header files (pre-processor directives are used to produce them at the beginning of the compilation process). v4: - Also remove overviews for newly added bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() and bpf_skb_get_xfrm_state(). - Remove vague statement about what helpers are restricted to GPL programs in "LICENSE" section for man page footer. - Replace license boilerplate with SPDX tag for Python script. v3: - Change license for man page. - Remove "for safety reasons" from man page header text. - Change "packets metadata" to "packets" in man page header text. - Move and fix comment on helpers introducing no overhead. - Remove "NOTES" section from man page footer. - Add "LICENSE" section to man page footer. - Edit description of file include/uapi/linux/bpf.h in man page footer.

bpf: fix script for generating man page on BPF helpers The script broke on parsing function prototype for bpf_strtoul(). This is because the last argument for the function is a pointer to an "unsigned long". The current version of the script only accepts "const" and "struct", but not "unsigned", at the beginning of argument types made of several words. One solution could be to add "unsigned" to the list, but the issue could come up again in the future (what about "long int"?). It turns out we do not need to have such restrictions on the words: so let's simply accept any series of words instead.

scripts/bpf: Set version attribute for bpf-helpers(7) man page The bpf-helpers(7) manual page shipped in the man-pages project is generated from the documentation contained in the BPF UAPI header, in the Linux repository, parsed by script/bpf_doc.py and then fed to rst2man. After a recent update of that page [0], Alejandro reported that the linter used to validate the man pages complains about the generated document [1]. The header for the page is supposed to contain some attributes that we do not set correctly with the script. This commit updates the "project and version" field. We discussed the format of those fields in [1] and [2]. Before: $ ./scripts/bpf_doc.py helpers | rst2man | grep '\.TH' .TH BPF-HELPERS 7 "" "" "" After: $ ./scripts/bpf_doc.py helpers | rst2man | grep '\.TH' .TH BPF-HELPERS 7 "" "Linux v5.19-14022-g30d2a4d74e11" "" We get the version from "git describe", but if unavailable, we fall back on "make kernelversion". If none works, for example because neither git nore make are installed, we just set the field to "Linux" and keep generating the page.

bpf/scripts: Assert helper enum value is aligned with comment order The helper value is ABI as defined by enum bpf_func_id. As bpf_helper_defs.h is used for the userpace part, it must be consistent with this enum. Before this change the comments order was used by the bpf_doc script in order to set the helper values defined in the helpers file. When adding new helpers it is very puzzling when the userspace application breaks in weird places if the comment is inserted instead of appended - because the generated helper ABI is incorrect and shifted. This commit sets the helper value to the enum value. In addition it is currently the practice to have the comments appended and kept in the same order as the enum. As such, add an assertion validating the comment order is consistent with enum value. In case a different comments ordering is desired, this assertion can be lifted.

bpf: relax constraints on formatting for eBPF helper documentation The Python script used to parse and extract eBPF helpers documentation from include/uapi/linux/bpf.h expects a very specific formatting for the descriptions (single dot represents a space, '>' stands for a tab): /* ... *.int bpf_helper(list of arguments) *.> Description *.> > Start of description *.> > Another line of description *.> > And yet another line of description *.> Return *.> > 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure ... */ This is too strict, and painful for developers who wants to add documentation for new helpers. Worse, it is extremely difficult to check that the formatting is correct during reviews. Change the format expected by the script and make it more flexible. The script now works whether or not the initial space (right after the star) is present, and accepts both tabs and white spaces (or a combination of both) for indenting description sections and contents.

bpf: fix script for generating man page on BPF helpers The script broke on parsing function prototype for bpf_strtoul(). This is because the last argument for the function is a pointer to an "unsigned long". The current version of the script only accepts "const" and "struct", but not "unsigned", at the beginning of argument types made of several words. One solution could be to add "unsigned" to the list, but the issue could come up again in the future (what about "long int"?). It turns out we do not need to have such restrictions on the words: so let's simply accept any series of words instead.

bpf/scripts: Raise an exception if the correct number of helpers are not generated Currently bpf_helper_defs.h and the bpf helpers man page are auto-generated using function documentation present in bpf.h. If the documentation for the helper is missing or doesn't follow a specific format for e.g. if a function is documented as: * long bpf_kallsyms_lookup_name( const char *name, int name_sz, int flags, u64 *res ) instead of * long bpf_kallsyms_lookup_name(const char *name, int name_sz, int flags, u64 *res) (notice the extra space at the start and end of function arguments) then that helper is not dumped in the auto-generated header and results in an invalid call during eBPF runtime, even if all the code specific to the helper is correct. This patch checks the number of functions documented within the header file with those present as part of #define __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER and raises an Exception if they don't match. It is not needed with the currently documented upstream functions, but can help in debugging when developing new helpers when there might be missing or misformatted documentation.

bpf/scripts: Assert helper enum value is aligned with comment order The helper value is ABI as defined by enum bpf_func_id. As bpf_helper_defs.h is used for the userpace part, it must be consistent with this enum. Before this change the comments order was used by the bpf_doc script in order to set the helper values defined in the helpers file. When adding new helpers it is very puzzling when the userspace application breaks in weird places if the comment is inserted instead of appended - because the generated helper ABI is incorrect and shifted. This commit sets the helper value to the enum value. In addition it is currently the practice to have the comments appended and kept in the same order as the enum. As such, add an assertion validating the comment order is consistent with enum value. In case a different comments ordering is desired, this assertion can be lifted.

bpf: relax constraints on formatting for eBPF helper documentation The Python script used to parse and extract eBPF helpers documentation from include/uapi/linux/bpf.h expects a very specific formatting for the descriptions (single dot represents a space, '>' stands for a tab): /* ... *.int bpf_helper(list of arguments) *.> Description *.> > Start of description *.> > Another line of description *.> > And yet another line of description *.> Return *.> > 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure ... */ This is too strict, and painful for developers who wants to add documentation for new helpers. Worse, it is extremely difficult to check that the formatting is correct during reviews. Change the format expected by the script and make it more flexible. The script now works whether or not the initial space (right after the star) is present, and accepts both tabs and white spaces (or a combination of both) for indenting description sections and contents. Concretely, something like the following would now be supported: /* ... *int bpf_helper(list of arguments) *......Description *.> > Start of description... *> > Another line of description *..............And yet another line of description *> Return *.> ........0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure ... */ While at it, remove unnecessary carets from each regex used with match() in the script.

bpf: change eBPF helper doc parsing script to allow for smaller indent Documentation for eBPF helpers can be parsed from bpf.h and eventually turned into a man page. Commit 6f96674dbd8c ("bpf: relax constraints on formatting for eBPF helper documentation") changed the script used to parse it, in order to allow for different indent style and to ease the work for writing documentation for future helpers. The script currently considers that the first tab can be replaced by 6 to 8 spaces. But the documentation for bpf_fib_lookup() uses a mix of tabs (for the "Description" part) and of spaces ("Return" part), and only has 5 space long indent for the latter. We probably do not want to change the values accepted by the script each time a new helper gets a new indent style. However, it is worth noting that with those 5 spaces, the "Description" and "Return" part *look* aligned in the generated patch and in `git show`, so it is likely other helper authors will use the same length. Therefore, allow for helper documentation to use 5 spaces only for the first indent level.

bpf: add script and prepare bpf.h for new helpers documentation Remove previous "overview" of eBPF helpers from user bpf.h header. Replace it by a comment explaining how to process the new documentation (to come in following patches) with a Python script to produce RST, then man page documentation. Also add the aforementioned Python script under scripts/. It is used to process include/uapi/linux/bpf.h and to extract helper descriptions, to turn it into a RST document that can further be processed with rst2man to produce a man page. The script takes one "--filename <path/to/file>" option. If the script is launched from scripts/ in the kernel root directory, it should be able to find the location of the header to parse, and "--filename <path/to/file>" is then optional. If it cannot find the file, then the option becomes mandatory. RST-formatted documentation is printed to standard output. Typical workflow for producing the final man page would be: $ ./scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py \ --filename include/uapi/linux/bpf.h > /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst $ rst2man /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst > /tmp/bpf-helpers.7 $ man /tmp/bpf-helpers.7 Note that the tool kernel-doc cannot be used to document eBPF helpers, whose signatures are not available directly in the header files (pre-processor directives are used to produce them at the beginning of the compilation process). v4: - Also remove overviews for newly added bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() and bpf_skb_get_xfrm_state(). - Remove vague statement about what helpers are restricted to GPL programs in "LICENSE" section for man page footer. - Replace license boilerplate with SPDX tag for Python script. v3: - Change license for man page. - Remove "for safety reasons" from man page header text. - Change "packets metadata" to "packets" in man page header text. - Move and fix comment on helpers introducing no overhead. - Remove "NOTES" section from man page footer. - Add "LICENSE" section to man page footer. - Edit description of file include/uapi/linux/bpf.h in man page footer.

bpf: add script and prepare bpf.h for new helpers documentation Remove previous "overview" of eBPF helpers from user bpf.h header. Replace it by a comment explaining how to process the new documentation (to come in following patches) with a Python script to produce RST, then man page documentation. Also add the aforementioned Python script under scripts/. It is used to process include/uapi/linux/bpf.h and to extract helper descriptions, to turn it into a RST document that can further be processed with rst2man to produce a man page. The script takes one "--filename <path/to/file>" option.

If the documentation for the syscall is missing or doesn't follow a specific format, then that syscall is not dumped in the auto-generated rst. This patch checks the number of syscalls documented within the header file with those present as part of the enum bpf_cmd and raises an Exception if they don't match. It is not needed with the currently documented upstream syscalls, but can help in debugging when developing new syscalls when there might be missing or misformatted documentation.

bpf/scripts: Raise an exception if the correct number of helpers are not generated Currently bpf_helper_defs.h and the bpf helpers man page are auto-generated using function documentation present in bpf.h. If the documentation for the helper is missing or doesn't follow a specific format for e.g. if a function is documented as: * long bpf_kallsyms_lookup_name( const char *name, int name_sz, int flags, u64 *res ) instead of * long bpf_kallsyms_lookup_name(const char *name, int name_sz, int flags, u64 *res) (notice the extra space at the start and end of function arguments) then that helper is not dumped in the auto-generated header and results in an invalid call during eBPF runtime, even if all the code specific to the helper is correct. This patch checks the number of functions documented within the header file with those present as part of #define __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER and raises an Exception if they don't match. It is not needed with the currently documented upstream functions, but can help in debugging when developing new helpers when there might be missing or misformatted documentation.

bpf/scripts: Assert helper enum value is aligned with comment order The helper value is ABI as defined by enum bpf_func_id. As bpf_helper_defs.h is used for the userpace part, it must be consistent with this enum. Before this change the comments order was used by the bpf_doc script in order to set the helper values defined in the helpers file. When adding new helpers it is very puzzling when the userspace application breaks in weird places if the comment is inserted instead of appended - because the generated helper ABI is incorrect and shifted. This commit sets the helper value to the enum value. In addition it is currently the practice to have the comments appended and kept in the same order as the enum. As such, add an assertion validating the comment order is consistent with enum value. In case a different comments ordering is desired, this assertion can be lifted.

bpf/scripts: Raise an exception if the correct number of sycalls are not generated Currently the syscalls rst and subsequently man page are auto-generated using function documentation present in bpf.h. If the documentation for the syscall is missing or doesn't follow a specific format, then that syscall is not dumped in the auto-generated rst. This patch checks the number of syscalls documented within the header file with those present as part of the enum bpf_cmd and raises an Exception if they don't match. It is not needed with the currently documented upstream syscalls, but can help in debugging when developing new syscalls when there might be missing or misformatted documentation. The function helper_number_check is moved to the Printer parent class and renamed to elem_number_check as all the most derived children classes are using this function now.

bpf/scripts: Raise an exception if the correct number of sycalls are not generated Currently the syscalls rst and subsequently man page are auto-generated using function documentation present in bpf.h. If the documentation for the syscall is missing or doesn't follow a specific format, then that syscall is not dumped in the auto-generated rst. This patch checks the number of syscalls documented within the header file with those present as part of the enum bpf_cmd and raises an Exception if they don't match. It is not needed with the currently documented upstream syscalls, but can help in debugging when developing new syscalls when there might be missing or misformatted documentation. The function helper_number_check is moved to the Printer parent class and renamed to elem_number_check as all the most derived children classes are using this function now.

Typical workflow for producing the final man page would be: $ ./scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py \ --filename include/uapi/linux/bpf.h > /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst $ rst2man /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst > /tmp/bpf-helpers.7 $ man /tmp/bpf-helpers.7 Note that the tool kernel-doc cannot be used to document eBPF helpers, whose signatures are not available directly in the header files (pre-processor directives are used to produce them at the beginning of the compilation process). v4: - Also remove overviews for newly added bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() and bpf_skb_get_xfrm_state(). - Remove vague statement about what helpers are restricted to GPL programs in "LICENSE" section for man page footer. - Replace license boilerplate with SPDX tag for Python script. v3: - Change license for man page. - Remove "for safety reasons" from man page header text. - Change "packets metadata" to "packets" in man page header text. - Move and fix comment on helpers introducing no overhead. - Remove "NOTES" section from man page footer. - Add "LICENSE" section to man page footer. - Edit description of file include/uapi/linux/bpf.h in man page footer.

bpf/scripts: Raise an exception if the correct number of sycalls are not generated Currently the syscalls rst and subsequently man page are auto-generated using function documentation present in bpf.h. If the documentation for the syscall is missing or doesn't follow a specific format, then that syscall is not dumped in the auto-generated rst. This patch checks the number of syscalls documented within the header file with those present as part of the enum bpf_cmd and raises an Exception if they don't match. It is not needed with the currently documented upstream syscalls, but can help in debugging when developing new syscalls when there might be missing or misformatted documentation. The function helper_number_check is moved to the Printer parent class and renamed to elem_number_check as all the most derived children classes are using this function now.

bpf: Introduce SK_LOOKUP program type with a dedicated attach point Add a new program type BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_LOOKUP with a dedicated attach type BPF_SK_LOOKUP. The new program kind is to be invoked by the transport layer when looking up a listening socket for a new connection request for connection oriented protocols, or when looking up an unconnected socket for a packet for connection-less protocols. When called, SK_LOOKUP BPF program can select a socket that will receive the packet. This serves as a mechanism to overcome the limits of what bind() API allows to express. Two use-cases driving this work are: (1) steer packets destined to an IP range, on fixed port to a socket 192.0.2.0/24, port 80 -> NGINX socket (2) steer packets destined to an IP address, on any port to a socket 198.51.100.1, any port -> L7 proxy socket In its run-time context program receives information about the packet that triggered the socket lookup. Namely IP version, L4 protocol identifier, and address 4-tuple. Context can be further extended to include ingress interface identifier. To select a socket BPF program fetches it from a map holding socket references, like SOCKMAP or SOCKHASH, and calls bpf_sk_assign(ctx, sk, ...) helper to record the selection. Transport layer then uses the selected socket as a result of socket lookup. In its basic form, SK_LOOKUP acts as a filter and hence must return either SK_PASS or SK_DROP. If the program returns with SK_PASS, transport should look for a socket to receive the packet, or use the one selected by the program if available, while SK_DROP informs the transport layer that the lookup should fail. This patch only enables the user to attach an SK_LOOKUP program to a network namespace. Subsequent patches hook it up to run on local delivery path in ipv4 and ipv6 stacks.

bpf: Add bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write helpers Two helpers bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write, are added for writing data to the seq_file buffer. bpf_seq_printf supports common format string flag/width/type fields so at least I can get identical results for netlink and ipv6_route targets. For bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write, return value -EOVERFLOW specifically indicates a write failure due to overflow, which means the object will be repeated in the next bpf invocation if object collection stays the same. Note that if the object collection is changed, depending how collection traversal is done, even if the object still in the collection, it may not be visited. For bpf_seq_printf, format %s, %p{i,I}{4,6} needs to read kernel memory. Reading kernel memory may fail in the following two cases: - invalid kernel address, or - valid kernel address but requiring a major fault If reading kernel memory failed, the %s string will be an empty string and %p{i,I}{4,6} will be all 0. Not returning error to bpf program is consistent with what bpf_trace_printk() does for now. bpf_seq_printf may return -EBUSY meaning that internal percpu buffer for memory copy of strings or other pointees is not available. Bpf program can return 1 to indicate it wants the same object to be repeated. Right now, this should not happen on no-RT kernels since migrate_disable(), which guards bpf prog call, calls preempt_disable().

More specifically, all possible socket data structures with sock_common appearing in the first in the memory layout. This patch only added socket types related to tcp and udp.

bpf: Introduce helper bpf_get_task_stack() Introduce helper bpf_get_task_stack(), which dumps stack trace of given task. This is different to bpf_get_stack(), which gets stack track of current task. One potential use case of bpf_get_task_stack() is to call it from bpf_iter__task and dump all /proc/<pid>/stack to a seq_file. bpf_get_task_stack() uses stack_trace_save_tsk() instead of get_perf_callchain() for kernel stack. The benefit of this choice is that stack_trace_save_tsk() doesn't require changes in arch/. The downside of using stack_trace_save_tsk() is that stack_trace_save_tsk() dumps the stack trace to unsigned long array. For 32-bit systems, we need to translate it to u64 array.

bpf: Add bpf_snprintf_btf helper A helper is added to support tracing kernel type information in BPF using the BPF Type Format (BTF). Its signature is long bpf_snprintf_btf(char *str, u32 str_size, struct btf_ptr *ptr, u32 btf_ptr_size, u64 flags); struct btf_ptr * specifies - a pointer to the data to be traced - the BTF id of the type of data pointed to - a flags field is provided for future use; these flags are not to be confused with the BTF_F_* flags below that control how the btf_ptr is displayed; the flags member of the struct btf_ptr may be used to disambiguate types in kernel versus module BTF, etc; the main distinction is the flags relate to the type and information needed in identifying it; not how it is displayed. For example a BPF program with a struct sk_buff *skb could do the following: static struct btf_ptr b = { }; b.ptr = skb; b.type_id = __builtin_btf_type_id(struct sk_buff, 1); bpf_snprintf_btf(str, sizeof(str), &b, sizeof(b), 0, 0); Default output looks like this: (struct sk_buff){ .transport_header = (__u16)65535, .mac_header = (__u16)65535, .end = (sk_buff_data_t)192, .head = (unsigned char *)0x000000007524fd8b, .data = (unsigned char *)0x000000007524fd8b, .truesize = (unsigned int)768, .users = (refcount_t){ .refs = (atomic_t){ .counter = (int)1, }, }, } Flags modifying display are as follows: - BTF_F_COMPACT: no formatting around type information - BTF_F_NONAME: no struct/union member names/types - BTF_F_PTR_RAW: show raw (unobfuscated) pointer values; equivalent to %px. - BTF_F_ZERO: show zero-valued struct/union members; they are not displayed by default Signed-off-by: Alan Maguire <alan.maguire@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/1601292670-1616-4-git-send-email-alan.maguire@oracle.com

The following patches add necessary safety checks. Only programs with CAP_BPF are allowed to use bpf_timer. The amount of timers used by the program is constrained by the memcg recorded at map creation time. The bpf_timer_init() helper needs explicit 'map' argument because inner maps are dynamic and not known at load time. While the bpf_timer_set_callback() is receiving hidden 'aux->prog' argument supplied by the verifier. The prog pointer is needed to do refcnting of bpf program to make sure that program doesn't get freed while the timer is armed. This approach relies on "user refcnt" scheme used in prog_array that stores bpf programs for bpf_tail_call. The bpf_timer_set_callback() will increment the prog refcnt which is paired with bpf_timer_cancel() that will drop the prog refcnt. The ops->map_release_uref is responsible for cancelling the timers and dropping prog refcnt when user space reference to a map reaches zero. This uref approach is done to make sure that Ctrl-C of user space process will not leave timers running forever unless the user space explicitly pinned a map that contained timers in bpffs. bpf_timer_init() and bpf_timer_set_callback() will return -EPERM if map doesn't have user references (is not held by open file descriptor from user space and not pinned in bpffs). The bpf_map_delete_elem() and bpf_map_update_elem() operations cancel and free the timer if given map element had it allocated. "bpftool map update" command can be used to cancel timers. The 'struct bpf_timer' is explicitly __attribute__((aligned(8))) because '__u64 :64' has 1 byte alignment of 8 byte padding.

It is a 16-byte structure defined internally as: struct bpf_dynptr_kern { void *data; u32 size; u32 offset; } __aligned(8); The upper 8 bits of *size* is reserved (it contains extra metadata about read-only status and dynptr type). Consequently, a dynptr only supports memory less than 16 MB. There are different types of dynptrs (eg malloc, ringbuf, ...). In this patchset, the most basic one, dynptrs to a bpf program's local memory, is added. For now only local memory that is of reg type PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE is supported. In the verifier, dynptr state information will be tracked in stack slots. When the program passes in an uninitialized dynptr (ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR | MEM_UNINIT), the stack slots corresponding to the frame pointer where the dynptr resides at are marked STACK_DYNPTR. For helper functions that take in initialized dynptrs (eg bpf_dynptr_read + bpf_dynptr_write which are added later in this patchset), the verifier enforces that the dynptr has been initialized properly by checking that their corresponding stack slots have been marked as STACK_DYNPTR. The 6th patch in this patchset adds test cases that the verifier should successfully reject, such as for example attempting to use a dynptr after doing a direct write into it inside the bpf program.

bpf: Add helpers to issue and check SYN cookies in XDP The new helpers bpf_tcp_raw_{gen,check}_syncookie_ipv{4,6} allow an XDP program to generate SYN cookies in response to TCP SYN packets and to check those cookies upon receiving the first ACK packet (the final packet of the TCP handshake). Unlike bpf_tcp_{gen,check}_syncookie these new helpers don't need a listening socket on the local machine, which allows to use them together with synproxy to accelerate SYN cookie generation.

bpf: Fix bpf_redirect_neigh helper api to support supplying nexthop Based on the discussion in [0], update the bpf_redirect_neigh() helper to accept an optional parameter specifying the nexthop information. This makes it possible to combine bpf_fib_lookup() and bpf_redirect_neigh() without incurring a duplicate FIB lookup - since the FIB lookup helper will return the nexthop information even if no neighbour is present, this can simply be passed on to bpf_redirect_neigh() if bpf_fib_lookup() returns BPF_FIB_LKUP_RET_NO_NEIGH. Thus fix & extend it before helper API is frozen.

bpf: Introduce SK_LOOKUP program type with a dedicated attach point Add a new program type BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_LOOKUP with a dedicated attach type BPF_SK_LOOKUP. The new program kind is to be invoked by the transport layer when looking up a listening socket for a new connection request for connection oriented protocols, or when looking up an unconnected socket for a packet for connection-less protocols. When called, SK_LOOKUP BPF program can select a socket that will receive the packet. This serves as a mechanism to overcome the limits of what bind() API allows to express. Two use-cases driving this work are: (1) steer packets destined to an IP range, on fixed port to a socket 192.0.2.0/24, port 80 -> NGINX socket (2) steer packets destined to an IP address, on any port to a socket 198.51.100.1, any port -> L7 proxy socket In its run-time context program receives information about the packet that triggered the socket lookup. Namely IP version, L4 protocol identifier, and address 4-tuple. Context can be further extended to include ingress interface identifier. To select a socket BPF program fetches it from a map holding socket references, like SOCKMAP or SOCKHASH, and calls bpf_sk_assign(ctx, sk, ...) helper to record the selection. Transport layer then uses the selected socket as a result of socket lookup. In its basic form, SK_LOOKUP acts as a filter and hence must return either SK_PASS or SK_DROP. If the program returns with SK_PASS, transport should look for a socket to receive the packet, or use the one selected by the program if available, while SK_DROP informs the transport layer that the lookup should fail. This patch only enables the user to attach an SK_LOOKUP program to a network namespace. Subsequent patches hook it up to run on local delivery path in ipv4 and ipv6 stacks.

bpf: Add bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write helpers Two helpers bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write, are added for writing data to the seq_file buffer. bpf_seq_printf supports common format string flag/width/type fields so at least I can get identical results for netlink and ipv6_route targets. For bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write, return value -EOVERFLOW specifically indicates a write failure due to overflow, which means the object will be repeated in the next bpf invocation if object collection stays the same. Note that if the object collection is changed, depending how collection traversal is done, even if the object still in the collection, it may not be visited. For bpf_seq_printf, format %s, %p{i,I}{4,6} needs to read kernel memory. Reading kernel memory may fail in the following two cases: - invalid kernel address, or - valid kernel address but requiring a major fault If reading kernel memory failed, the %s string will be an empty string and %p{i,I}{4,6} will be all 0. Not returning error to bpf program is consistent with what bpf_trace_printk() does for now. bpf_seq_printf may return -EBUSY meaning that internal percpu buffer for memory copy of strings or other pointees is not available. Bpf program can return 1 to indicate it wants the same object to be repeated. Right now, this should not happen on no-RT kernels since migrate_disable(), which guards bpf prog call, calls preempt_disable().

Different from the previous BTF_ID based helpers, the bpf_skc_to_tcp6_sock() argument can be several possible btf_ids. More specifically, all possible socket data structures with sock_common appearing in the first in the memory layout. This patch only added socket types related to tcp and udp. All possible argument btf_id and return value btf_id for helper bpf_skc_to_tcp6_sock() are pre-calculcated and cached.

bpf: Introduce helper bpf_get_task_stack() Introduce helper bpf_get_task_stack(), which dumps stack trace of given task. This is different to bpf_get_stack(), which gets stack track of current task. One potential use case of bpf_get_task_stack() is to call it from bpf_iter__task and dump all /proc/<pid>/stack to a seq_file. bpf_get_task_stack() uses stack_trace_save_tsk() instead of get_perf_callchain() for kernel stack. The benefit of this choice is that stack_trace_save_tsk() doesn't require changes in arch/. The downside of using stack_trace_save_tsk() is that stack_trace_save_tsk() dumps the stack trace to unsigned long array. For 32-bit systems, we need to translate it to u64 array.

bpf: Add bpf_snprintf_btf helper A helper is added to support tracing kernel type information in BPF using the BPF Type Format (BTF). Its signature is long bpf_snprintf_btf(char *str, u32 str_size, struct btf_ptr *ptr, u32 btf_ptr_size, u64 flags); struct btf_ptr * specifies - a pointer to the data to be traced - the BTF id of the type of data pointed to - a flags field is provided for future use; these flags are not to be confused with the BTF_F_* flags below that control how the btf_ptr is displayed; the flags member of the struct btf_ptr may be used to disambiguate types in kernel versus module BTF, etc; the main distinction is the flags relate to the type and information needed in identifying it; not how it is displayed. For example a BPF program with a struct sk_buff *skb could do the following: static struct btf_ptr b = { }; b.ptr = skb; b.type_id = __builtin_btf_type_id(struct sk_buff, 1); bpf_snprintf_btf(str, sizeof(str), &b, sizeof(b), 0, 0); Default output looks like this: (struct sk_buff){ .transport_header = (__u16)65535, .mac_header = (__u16)65535, .end = (sk_buff_data_t)192, .head = (unsigned char *)0x000000007524fd8b, .data = (unsigned char *)0x000000007524fd8b, .truesize = (unsigned int)768, .users = (refcount_t){ .refs = (atomic_t){ .counter = (int)1, }, }, } Flags modifying display are as follows: - BTF_F_COMPACT: no formatting around type information - BTF_F_NONAME: no struct/union member names/types - BTF_F_PTR_RAW: show raw (unobfuscated) pointer values; equivalent to %px. - BTF_F_ZERO: show zero-valued struct/union members; they are not displayed by default Signed-off-by: Alan Maguire <alan.maguire@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/1601292670-1616-4-git-send-email-alan.maguire@oracle.com

bpf: Introduce bpf timers. Introduce 'struct bpf_timer { __u64 :64; __u64 :64; };' that can be embedded in hash/array/lru maps as a regular field and helpers to operate on it: // Initialize the timer. // First 4 bits of 'flags' specify clockid. // Only CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_BOOTTIME are allowed. long bpf_timer_init(struct bpf_timer *timer, struct bpf_map *map, int flags); // Configure the timer to call 'callback_fn' static function. long bpf_timer_set_callback(struct bpf_timer *timer, void *callback_fn); // Arm the timer to expire 'nsec' nanoseconds from the current time. long bpf_timer_start(struct bpf_timer *timer, u64 nsec, u64 flags); // Cancel the timer and wait for callback_fn to finish if it was running. long bpf_timer_cancel(struct bpf_timer *timer); Here is how BPF program might look like: struct map_elem { int counter; struct bpf_timer timer; }; struct { __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH); __uint(max_entries, 1000); __type(key, int); __type(value, struct map_elem); } hmap SEC(".maps"); static int timer_cb(void *map, int *key, struct map_elem *val); /* val points to particular map element that contains bpf_timer. */ SEC("fentry/bpf_fentry_test1") int BPF_PROG(test1, int a) { struct map_elem *val; int key = 0; val = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&hmap, &key); if (val) { bpf_timer_init(&val->timer, &hmap, CLOCK_REALTIME); bpf_timer_set_callback(&val->timer, timer_cb); bpf_timer_start(&val->timer, 1000 /* call timer_cb2 in 1 usec */, 0); } } This patch adds helper implementations that rely on hrtimers to call bpf functions as timers expire. The following patches add necessary safety checks. Only programs with CAP_BPF are allowed to use bpf_timer. The amount of timers used by the program is constrained by the memcg recorded at map creation time. The bpf_timer_init() helper needs explicit 'map' argument because inner maps are dynamic and not known at load time. While the bpf_timer_set_callback() is receiving hidden 'aux->prog' argument supplied by the verifier. The prog pointer is needed to do refcnting of bpf program to make sure that program doesn't get freed while the timer is armed. This approach relies on "user refcnt" scheme used in prog_array that stores bpf programs for bpf_tail_call. The bpf_timer_set_callback() will increment the prog refcnt which is paired with bpf_timer_cancel() that will drop the prog refcnt. The ops->map_release_uref is responsible for cancelling the timers and dropping prog refcnt when user space reference to a map reaches zero. This uref approach is done to make sure that Ctrl-C of user space process will not leave timers running forever unless the user space explicitly pinned a map that contained timers in bpffs. bpf_timer_init() and bpf_timer_set_callback() will return -EPERM if map doesn't have user references (is not held by open file descriptor from user space and not pinned in bpffs). The bpf_map_delete_elem() and bpf_map_update_elem() operations cancel and free the timer if given map element had it allocated. "bpftool map update" command can be used to cancel timers. The 'struct bpf_timer' is explicitly __attribute__((aligned(8))) because '__u64 :64' has 1 byte alignment of 8 byte padding.

Two use-cases driving this work are: (1) steer packets destined to an IP range, on fixed port to a socket 192.0.2.0/24, port 80 -> NGINX socket (2) steer packets destined to an IP address, on any port to a socket 198.51.100.1, any port -> L7 proxy socket In its run-time context program receives information about the packet that triggered the socket lookup. Namely IP version, L4 protocol identifier, and address 4-tuple. Context can be further extended to include ingress interface identifier. To select a socket BPF program fetches it from a map holding socket references, like SOCKMAP or SOCKHASH, and calls bpf_sk_assign(ctx, sk, ...) helper to record the selection. Transport layer then uses the selected socket as a result of socket lookup. In its basic form, SK_LOOKUP acts as a filter and hence must return either SK_PASS or SK_DROP. If the program returns with SK_PASS, transport should look for a socket to receive the packet, or use the one selected by the program if available, while SK_DROP informs the transport layer that the lookup should fail. This patch only enables the user to attach an SK_LOOKUP program to a network namespace. Subsequent patches hook it up to run on local delivery path in ipv4 and ipv6 stacks.

bpf/scripts: Assert helper enum value is aligned with comment order The helper value is ABI as defined by enum bpf_func_id. As bpf_helper_defs.h is used for the userpace part, it must be consistent with this enum. Before this change the comments order was used by the bpf_doc script in order to set the helper values defined in the helpers file. When adding new helpers it is very puzzling when the userspace application breaks in weird places if the comment is inserted instead of appended - because the generated helper ABI is incorrect and shifted. This commit sets the helper value to the enum value. In addition it is currently the practice to have the comments appended and kept in the same order as the enum. As such, add an assertion validating the comment order is consistent with enum value. In case a different comments ordering is desired, this assertion can be lifted.

Also add the aforementioned Python script under scripts/. It is used to process include/uapi/linux/bpf.h and to extract helper descriptions, to turn it into a RST document that can further be processed with rst2man to produce a man page. The script takes one "--filename <path/to/file>" option.
