Adding struct bpf_tramp_node to decouple the link out of the trampoline
attachment info.

At the moment the object for attaching bpf program to the trampoline is
'struct bpf_tramp_link':

  struct bpf_tramp_link {
       struct bpf_link link;
       struct hlist_node tramp_hlist;
       u64 cookie;
  }

The link holds the bpf_prog pointer and forces one link - one program
binding logic. In following changes we want to attach program to multiple
trampolines but we want to keep just one bpf_link object.

Splitting struct bpf_tramp_link into:

  struct bpf_tramp_link {
       struct bpf_link link;
       struct bpf_tramp_node node;
  };

  struct bpf_tramp_node {
       struct bpf_link *link;
       struct hlist_node tramp_hlist;
       u64 cookie;
  };

The 'struct bpf_tramp_link' defines standard single trampoline link
and 'struct bpf_tramp_node' is the attachment trampoline object with
pointer to the bpf_link object.

This will allow us to define link for multiple trampolines, like:

  struct bpf_tracing_multi_link {
       struct bpf_link link;
       ...
       int nodes_cnt;
       struct bpf_tracing_multi_node nodes[] __counted_by(nodes_cnt);
  };

<title>bpf,x86: Fix exception unwinding with outgoing stack arguments</title>

<id>18a37465b0ab5237a1d0ebf93a2a3b6a2da540b3</id>
<content type='text'>
When a main program with exception_boundary has outgoing stack
arguments (e.g. from calling subprogs with &gt;5 args), bpf_throw() fails
to correctly restore callee-saved registers, causing a kernel crash.

The x86 JIT allocates the outgoing stack arg area below the
callee-saved registers via 'sub rsp, outgoing_rsp' in the prologue.
When bpf_throw() unwinds, it captures the main program's sp (which
includes this outgoing area) and passes it to the exception callback.
The callback gets rsp and rbp, followed by pop_callee_regs, but rsp
points into the outgoing arg area rather than the callee-saved
registers, so the pops restore garbage values. Returning to the
kernel with corrupted callee-saved registers causes a crash.

Fix this by adjusting the sp (adding stack_arg_sp_adjust) passed to
the exception callback, so it points to the bottom of the callee-saved
registers instead of the outgoing arg area. When stack_arg_sp_adjust
is 0 (the common case), this is a no-op.

<content type='text'>
Add x86_64 JIT support for BPF functions and kfuncs with more than
5 arguments. The extra arguments are passed through a stack area
addressed by register r11 (BPF_REG_PARAMS) in BPF bytecode,
which the JIT translates to native code.

The JIT follows the x86-64 calling convention for both BPF-to-BPF
and kfunc calls:
  - Arg 6 is passed in the R9 register
  - Args 7+ are passed on the stack

Incoming arg 6 (BPF r11+8) is translated to a MOV from R9 rather
than a memory load. Incoming args 7+ (BPF r11+16, r11+24, ...) map
directly to [rbp + 16], [rbp + 24], ..., matching the x86-64 stack
layout after CALL + PUSH RBP, so no offset adjustment is needed.

tail_call_reachable is rejected by the verifier and priv_stack is
disabled by the JIT when stack args exist, so R9 is always
available. When BPF bytecode writes to the arg-6 stack slot
(offset -8), the JIT emits a MOV into R9 instead of a memory store.
Outgoing args 7+ are placed at [rsp] in a pre-allocated area below
callee-saved registers, using:
  native_off = outgoing_arg_base - outgoing_rsp - bpf_off - 16

The native x86_64 stack layout with stack arguments:

  high address
  +-------------------------+
  | incoming stack arg N    |  [rbp + 16 + (N-7)*8]  (from caller)
  | ...                     |
  | incoming stack arg 7    |  [rbp + 16]
  +-------------------------+
  | return address          |  [rbp + 8]
  | saved rbp               |  [rbp]
  +-------------------------+
  | BPF program stack       |  (round_up(stack_depth, 8) bytes)
  +-------------------------+
  | callee-saved regs       |  (r12, rbx, r13, r14, r15 as needed)
  +-------------------------+
  | outgoing arg M          |  [rsp + (M-7)*8]
  | ...                     |
  | outgoing arg 7          |  [rsp]

To fix it, emit an ENDBR instruction to each indirect jump target. Since
the ENDBR instruction shifts the position of original jited instructions,
fix the instruction address calculation wherever the addresses are used.

Pass bpf_verifier_env to bpf_int_jit_compile(). The follow-up patch will
use env-&gt;insn_aux_data in the JIT stage to detect indirect jump targets.

Since bpf_prog_select_runtime() can be called by cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c
code without verifier, introduce helper __bpf_prog_select_runtime()
to accept the env parameter.

Remove the call to bpf_prog_select_runtime() in bpf_prog_load(), and
switch to call __bpf_prog_select_runtime() in the verifier, with env
variable passed. The original bpf_prog_select_runtime() is preserved for
cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c, where env is NULL.

Now all constants blinding calls are moved into the verifier, except
the cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c cases. The instructions arrays are adjusted
by bpf_patch_insn_data() function for normal cases, so there is no need
to call adjust_insn_arrays() in bpf_jit_blind_constants(). Remove it.

<title>bpf: Move constants blinding out of arch-specific JITs</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=d3e945223e0158c85dbde23de4f89493a2a817f6'/>
<id>d3e945223e0158c85dbde23de4f89493a2a817f6</id>
<content type='text'>
During the JIT stage, constants blinding rewrites instructions but only
rewrites the private instruction copy of the JITed subprog, leaving the
global env-&gt;prog-&gt;insnsi and env-&gt;insn_aux_data untouched. This causes a
mismatch between subprog instructions and the global state, making it
difficult to use the global data in the JIT.

To avoid this mismatch, and given that all arch-specific JITs already
support constants blinding, move it to the generic verifier code, and
switch to rewrite the global env-&gt;prog-&gt;insnsi with the global states
adjusted, as other rewrites in the verifier do.

This removes the constants blinding calls in each JIT, which are largely
duplicated code across architectures.

Since constants blinding is only required for JIT, and there are two
JIT entry functions, jit_subprogs() for BPF programs with multiple
subprogs and bpf_prog_select_runtime() for programs with no subprogs,
move the constants blinding invocation into these two functions.

In the verifier path, bpf_patch_insn_data() is used to keep global
verifier auxiliary data in sync with patched instructions. A key
question is whether this global auxiliary data should be restored
on the failure path.

Besides instructions, bpf_patch_insn_data() adjusts:
  - prog-&gt;aux-&gt;poke_tab
  - env-&gt;insn_array_maps
  - env-&gt;subprog_info
  - env-&gt;insn_aux_data

For prog-&gt;aux-&gt;poke_tab, it is only used by JIT or only meaningful after
JIT succeeds, so it does not need to be restored on the failure path.

For env-&gt;insn_array_maps, when JIT fails, programs using insn arrays
are rejected by bpf_insn_array_ready() due to missing JIT addresses.
Hence, env-&gt;insn_array_maps is only meaningful for JIT and does not need
to be restored.

For subprog_info, if jit_subprogs fails and CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON
is not enabled, kernel falls back to interpreter. In this case,
env-&gt;subprog_info is used to determine subprogram stack depth. So it
must be restored on failure.

For env-&gt;insn_aux_data, it is freed by clear_insn_aux_data() at the
end of bpf_check(). Before freeing, clear_insn_aux_data() loops over
env-&gt;insn_aux_data to release jump targets recorded in it. The loop
uses env-&gt;prog-&gt;len as the array length, but this length no longer
matches the actual size of the adjusted env-&gt;insn_aux_data array after
constants blinding.

To address it, a simple approach is to keep insn_aux_data as adjusted
after failure, since it will be freed shortly, and record its actual size
for the loop in clear_insn_aux_data(). But since clear_insn_aux_data()
uses the same index to loop over both env-&gt;prog-&gt;insnsi and env-&gt;insn_aux_data,
this approach results in incorrect index for the insnsi array. So an
alternative approach is adopted: clone the original env-&gt;insn_aux_data
before blinding and restore it after failure, similar to env-&gt;prog.

For classic BPF programs, constants blinding works as before since it
is still invoked from bpf_prog_select_runtime().

During the JIT stage, constants blinding rewrites instructions but only
rewrites the private instruction copy of the JITed subprog, leaving the
global env-&gt;prog-&gt;insnsi and env-&gt;insn_aux_data untouched. This causes a
mismatch between subprog instructions and the global state, making it
difficult to use the global data in the JIT.

To avoid this mismatch, and given that all arch-specific JITs already
support constants blinding, move it to the generic verifier code, and
switch to rewrite the global env-&gt;prog-&gt;insnsi with the global states
adjusted, as other rewrites in the verifier do.

This removes the constants blinding calls in each JIT, which are largely
duplicated code across architectures.

Since constants blinding is only required for JIT, and there are two
JIT entry functions, jit_subprogs() for BPF programs with multiple
subprogs and bpf_prog_select_runtime() for programs with no subprogs,
move the constants blinding invocation into these two functions.

In the verifier path, bpf_patch_insn_data() is used to keep global
verifier auxiliary data in sync with patched instructions. A key
question is whether this global auxiliary data should be restored
on the failure path.

Besides instructions, bpf_patch_insn_data() adjusts:
  - prog-&gt;aux-&gt;poke_tab
  - env-&gt;insn_array_maps
  - env-&gt;subprog_info
  - env-&gt;insn_aux_data

For prog-&gt;aux-&gt;poke_tab, it is only used by JIT or only meaningful after
JIT succeeds, so it does not need to be restored on the failure path.

For env-&gt;insn_array_maps, when JIT fails, programs using insn arrays
are rejected by bpf_insn_array_ready() due to missing JIT addresses.
Hence, env-&gt;insn_array_maps is only meaningful for JIT and does not need
to be restored.

For subprog_info, if jit_subprogs fails and CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON
is not enabled, kernel falls back to interpreter. In this case,
env-&gt;subprog_info is used to determine subprogram stack depth. So it
must be restored on failure.

For env-&gt;insn_aux_data, it is freed by clear_insn_aux_data() at the
end of bpf_check(). Before freeing, clear_insn_aux_data() loops over
env-&gt;insn_aux_data to release jump targets recorded in it. The loop
uses env-&gt;prog-&gt;len as the array length, but this length no longer
matches the actual size of the adjusted env-&gt;insn_aux_data array after
constants blinding.

To address it, a simple approach is to keep insn_aux_data as adjusted
after failure, since it will be freed shortly, and record its actual size
for the loop in clear_insn_aux_data(). But since clear_insn_aux_data()
uses the same index to loop over both env-&gt;prog-&gt;insnsi and env-&gt;insn_aux_data,
this approach results in incorrect index for the insnsi array. So an
alternative approach is adopted: clone the original env-&gt;insn_aux_data
before blinding and restore it after failure, similar to env-&gt;prog.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

The added fsession does not prevent running on those architectures, that
haven't added fsession support.

For example, try to run fsession tests on arm64:

test_fsession_basic:PASS:fsession_test__open_and_load 0 nsec
test_fsession_basic:PASS:fsession_attach 0 nsec
check_result:FAIL:test_run_opts err unexpected error: -14 (errno 14)

In order to prevent such errors, add bpf_jit_supports_fsession() to guard
those architectures.
