BPF verifier supports direct memory access for BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING type
of bpf programs, e.g., a->b. If "a" is a pointer
pointing to kernel memory, bpf verifier will allow user to write
code in C like a->b and the verifier will translate it to a kernel
load properly. If "a" is a pointer to user memory, it is expected
that bpf developer should be bpf_probe_read_user() helper to
get the value a->b. Without utilizing BTF __user tagging information,
current verifier will assume that a->b is a kernel memory access
and this may generate incorrect result.
Now BTF contains __user information, it can check whether the
pointer points to a user memory or not. If it is, the verifier
can reject the program and force users to use bpf_probe_read_user()
helper explicitly.
In the future, we can easily extend btf_add_space for other
address space tagging, for example, rcu/percpu etc.

The __user attribute is currently mainly used by sparse for type checking.
The attribute indicates whether a memory access is in user memory address
space or not. Such information is important during tracing kernel
internal functions or data structures as accessing user memory often
has different mechanisms compared to accessing kernel memory. For example,
the perf-probe needs explicit command line specification to indicate a
particular argument or string in user-space memory ([1], [2], [3]).
Currently, vmlinux BTF is available in kernel with many distributions.
If __user attribute information is available in vmlinux BTF, the explicit
user memory access information from users will not be necessary as
the kernel can figure it out by itself with vmlinux BTF.
Besides the above possible use for perf/probe, another use case is
for bpf verifier. Currently, for bpf BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING type of bpf
programs, users can write direct code like
p->m1->m2
and "p" could be a function parameter. Without __user information in BTF,
the verifier will assume p->m1 accessing kernel memory and will generate
normal loads. Let us say "p" actually tagged with __user in the source
code. In such cases, p->m1 is actually accessing user memory and direct
load is not right and may produce incorrect result. For such cases,
bpf_probe_read_user() will be the correct way to read p->m1.
To support encoding __user information in BTF, a new attribute
__attribute__((btf_type_tag("<arbitrary_string>")))
is implemented in clang ([4]). For example, if we have
#define __user __attribute__((btf_type_tag("user")))
during kernel compilation, the attribute "user" information will
be preserved in dwarf. After pahole converting dwarf to BTF, __user
information will be available in vmlinux BTF.
The following is an example with latest upstream clang (clang14) and
pahole 1.23:
[$ ~] cat test.c
#define __user __attribute__((btf_type_tag("user")))
int foo(int __user *arg) {
return *arg;
}
[$ ~] clang -O2 -g -c test.c
[$ ~] pahole -JV test.o
...
[1] INT int size=4 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED
[2] TYPE_TAG user type_id=1
[3] PTR (anon) type_id=2
[4] FUNC_PROTO (anon) return=1 args=(3 arg)
[5] FUNC foo type_id=4
[$ ~]
You can see for the function argument "int __user *arg", its type is
described as
PTR -> TYPE_TAG(user) -> INT
The kernel can use this information for bpf verification or other
use cases.
Current btf_type_tag is only supported in clang (>= clang14) and
pahole (>= 1.23). gcc support is also proposed and under development ([5]).

TRBE implementations affected by Arm erratum #1902691 might corrupt trace
data or deadlock, when it's being written into the memory. So effectively
TRBE is broken and hence cannot be used to capture trace data. This adds
a new errata ARM64_ERRATUM_1902691 in arm64 errata framework.

TRBE implementations affected by Arm erratum #2038923 might get TRBE into
an inconsistent view on whether trace is prohibited within the CPU. As a
result, the trace buffer or trace buffer state might be corrupted. This
happens after TRBE buffer has been enabled by setting TRBLIMITR_EL1.E,
followed by just a single context synchronization event before execution
changes from a context, in which trace is prohibited to one where it isn't,
or vice versa. In these mentioned conditions, the view of whether trace is
prohibited is inconsistent between parts of the CPU, and the trace buffer
or the trace buffer state might be corrupted. This adds a new errata
ARM64_ERRATUM_2038923 in arm64 errata framework.
