Add a callback map_lookup_elem_sys_only() that map implementations
could use over map_lookup_elem() from system call side in case the
map implementation needs to handle the latter differently than from
the BPF data path. If map_lookup_elem_sys_only() is set, this will
be preferred pick for map lookups out of user space. This hook is
used in a follow-up fix for LRU map, but once development window
opens, we can convert other map types from map_lookup_elem() (here,
the one called upon BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM cmd is meant) over to use
the callback to simplify and clean up the latter.

<title>bpf: Introduce bpf sk local storage</title>

After allowing a bpf prog to
- directly read the skb-&gt;sk ptr
- get the fullsock bpf_sock by "bpf_sk_fullsock()"
- get the bpf_tcp_sock by "bpf_tcp_sock()"
- get the listener sock by "bpf_get_listener_sock()"
- avoid duplicating the fields of "(bpf_)sock" and "(bpf_)tcp_sock"
  into different bpf running context.

this patch is another effort to make bpf's network programming
more intuitive to do (together with memory and performance benefit).

When bpf prog needs to store data for a sk, the current practice is to
define a map with the usual 4-tuples (src/dst ip/port) as the key.
If multiple bpf progs require to store different sk data, multiple maps
have to be defined.  Hence, wasting memory to store the duplicated
keys (i.e. 4 tuples here) in each of the bpf map.
[ The smallest key could be the sk pointer itself which requires
  some enhancement in the verifier and it is a separate topic. ]

Also, the bpf prog needs to clean up the elem when sk is freed.
Otherwise, the bpf map will become full and un-usable quickly.
The sk-free tracking currently could be done during sk state
transition (e.g. BPF_SOCK_OPS_STATE_CB).

The size of the map needs to be predefined which then usually ended-up
with an over-provisioned map in production.  Even the map was re-sizable,
while the sk naturally come and go away already, this potential re-size
operation is arguably redundant if the data can be directly connected
to the sk itself instead of proxy-ing through a bpf map.

This patch introduces sk-&gt;sk_bpf_storage to provide local storage space
at sk for bpf prog to use.  The space will be allocated when the first bpf
prog has created data for this particular sk.

The design optimizes the bpf prog's lookup (and then optionally followed by
an inline update).  bpf_spin_lock should be used if the inline update needs
to be protected.

BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE:
-----------------------
To define a bpf "sk-local-storage", a BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE map (new in
this patch) needs to be created.  Multiple BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE maps can
be created to fit different bpf progs' needs.  The map enforces
BTF to allow printing the sk-local-storage during a system-wise
sk dump (e.g. "ss -ta") in the future.

The purpose of a BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE map is not for lookup/update/delete
a "sk-local-storage" data from a particular sk.
Think of the map as a meta-data (or "type") of a "sk-local-storage".  This
particular "type" of "sk-local-storage" data can then be stored in any sk.

The main purposes of this map are mostly:
1. Define the size of a "sk-local-storage" type.
2. Provide a similar syscall userspace API as the map (e.g. lookup/update,
   map-id, map-btf...etc.)
3. Keep track of all sk's storages of this "type" and clean them up
   when the map is freed.

sk-&gt;sk_bpf_storage:
------------------
The main lookup/update/delete is done on sk-&gt;sk_bpf_storage (which
is a "struct bpf_sk_storage").  When doing a lookup,
the "map" pointer is now used as the "key" to search on the
sk_storage-&gt;list.  The "map" pointer is actually serving
as the "type" of the "sk-local-storage" that is being
requested.

To allow very fast lookup, it should be as fast as looking up an
array at a stable-offset.  At the same time, it is not ideal to
set a hard limit on the number of sk-local-storage "type" that the
system can have.  Hence, this patch takes a cache approach.
The last search result from sk_storage-&gt;list is cached in
sk_storage-&gt;cache[] which is a stable sized array.  Each
"sk-local-storage" type has a stable offset to the cache[] array.
In the future, a map's flag could be introduced to do cache
opt-out/enforcement if it became necessary.

The cache size is 16 (i.e. 16 types of "sk-local-storage").
Programs can share map.  On the program side, having a few bpf_progs
running in the networking hotpath is already a lot.  The bpf_prog
should have already consolidated the existing sock-key-ed map usage
to minimize the map lookup penalty.  16 has enough runway to grow.

All sk-local-storage data will be removed from sk-&gt;sk_bpf_storage
during sk destruction.

bpf_sk_storage_get() and bpf_sk_storage_delete():
------------------------------------------------
Instead of using bpf_map_(lookup|update|delete)_elem(),
the bpf prog needs to use the new helper bpf_sk_storage_get() and
bpf_sk_storage_delete().  The verifier can then enforce the
ARG_PTR_TO_SOCKET argument.  The bpf_sk_storage_get() also allows to
"create" new elem if one does not exist in the sk.  It is done by
the new BPF_SK_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE flag.  An optional value can also be
provided as the initial value during BPF_SK_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE.
The BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE also supports bpf_spin_lock.  Together,
it has eliminated the potential use cases for an equivalent
bpf_map_update_elem() API (for bpf_prog) in this patch.

Misc notes:
----------
1. map_get_next_key is not supported.  From the userspace syscall
   perspective,  the map has the socket fd as the key while the map
   can be shared by pinned-file or map-id.

   Since btf is enforced, the existing "ss" could be enhanced to pretty
   print the local-storage.

   Supporting a kernel defined btf with 4 tuples as the return key could
   be explored later also.

2. The sk-&gt;sk_lock cannot be acquired.  Atomic operations is used instead.
   e.g. cmpxchg is done on the sk-&gt;sk_bpf_storage ptr.
   Please refer to the source code comments for the details in
   synchronization cases and considerations.

3. The mem is charged to the sk-&gt;sk_omem_alloc as the sk filter does.

Benchmark:
---------
Here is the benchmark data collected by turning on
the "kernel.bpf_stats_enabled" sysctl.
Two bpf progs are tested:

One bpf prog with the usual bpf hashmap (max_entries = 8192) with the
sk ptr as the key. (verifier is modified to support sk ptr as the key
That should have shortened the key lookup time.)

Another bpf prog is with the new BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE.

Both are storing a "u32 cnt", do a lookup on "egress_skb/cgroup" for
each egress skb and then bump the cnt.  netperf is used to drive
data with 4096 connected UDP sockets.

This is an opt-in interface that allows a tracepoint to provide a safe
buffer that can be written from a BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT program.
The size of the buffer must be a compile-time constant, and is checked
before allowing a BPF program to attach to a tracepoint that uses this
feature.

The pointer to this buffer will be the first argument of tracepoints
that opt in; the pointer is valid and can be bpf_probe_read() by both
BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT and BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT_WRITABLE
programs that attach to such a tracepoint, but the buffer to which it
points may only be written by the latter.

Unless the very next line is schedule(), or implies it, one must not use
preempt_enable_no_resched(). It can cause a preemption to go missing and
thereby cause arbitrary delays, breaking the PREEMPT=y invariant.

<title>bpf: Introduce bpf_strtol and bpf_strtoul helpers</title>

<id>d7a4cb9b6705a89937d12c8158a35a3145dc967a</id>
<content type='text'>
Add bpf_strtol and bpf_strtoul to convert a string to long and unsigned
long correspondingly. It's similar to user space strtol(3) and
strtoul(3) with a few changes to the API:

* instead of NUL-terminated C string the helpers expect buffer and
  buffer length;

* resulting long or unsigned long is returned in a separate
  result-argument;

* return value is used to indicate success or failure, on success number
  of consumed bytes is returned that can be used to identify position to
  read next if the buffer is expected to contain multiple integers;

* instead of *base* argument, *flags* is used that provides base in 5
  LSB, other bits are reserved for future use;

* number of supported bases is limited.

Documentation for the new helpers is provided in bpf.h UAPI.

The helpers are made available to BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL programs to
be able to convert string input to e.g. "ulongvec" output.

E.g. "net/ipv4/tcp_mem" consists of three ulong integers. They can be
parsed by calling to bpf_strtoul three times.

Implementation notes:

Implementation includes "../../lib/kstrtox.h" to reuse integer parsing
functions. It's done exactly same way as fs/proc/base.c already does.

Unfortunately existing kstrtoX function can't be used directly since
they fail if any invalid character is present right after integer in the
string. Existing simple_strtoX functions can't be used either since
they're obsolete and don't handle overflow properly.

<title>bpf: Introduce ARG_PTR_TO_{INT,LONG} arg types</title>

Currently the way to pass result from BPF helper to BPF program is to
provide memory area defined by pointer and size: func(void *, size_t).

It works great for generic use-case, but for simple types, such as int,
it's overkill and consumes two arguments when it could use just one.

Introduce new argument types ARG_PTR_TO_INT and ARG_PTR_TO_LONG to be
able to pass result from helper to program via pointer to int and long
correspondingly: func(int *) or func(long *).

New argument types are similar to ARG_PTR_TO_MEM with the following
differences:
* they don't require corresponding ARG_CONST_SIZE argument, predefined
  access sizes are used instead (32bit for int, 64bit for long);
* it's possible to use more than one such an argument in a helper;
* provided pointers have to be aligned.

It's easy to introduce similar ARG_PTR_TO_CHAR and ARG_PTR_TO_SHORT
argument types. It's not done due to lack of use-case though.

This patch adds a new BPF_MAP_FREEZE command which allows to
"freeze" the map globally as read-only / immutable from syscall
side.

Map permission handling has been refactored into map_get_sys_perms()
and drops FMODE_CAN_WRITE in case of locked map. Main use case is
to allow for setting up .rodata sections from the BPF ELF which
are loaded into the kernel, meaning BPF loader first allocates
map, sets up map value by copying .rodata section into it and once
complete, it calls BPF_MAP_FREEZE on the map fd to prevent further
modifications.

Right now BPF_MAP_FREEZE only takes map fd as argument while remaining
bpf_attr members are required to be zero. I didn't add write-only
locking here as counterpart since I don't have a concrete use-case
for it on my side, and I think it makes probably more sense to wait
once there is actually one. In that case bpf_attr can be extended
as usual with a flag field and/or others where flag 0 means that
we lock the map read-only hence this doesn't prevent to add further
extensions to BPF_MAP_FREEZE upon need.

A map creation flag like BPF_F_WRONCE was not considered for couple
of reasons: i) in case of a generic implementation, a map can consist
of more than just one element, thus there could be multiple map
updates needed to set the map into a state where it can then be
made immutable, ii) WRONCE indicates exact one-time write before
it is then set immutable. A generic implementation would set a bit
atomically on map update entry (if unset), indicating that every
subsequent update from then onwards will need to bail out there.
However, map updates can fail, so upon failure that flag would need
to be unset again and the update attempt would need to be repeated
for it to be eventually made immutable. While this can be made
race-free, this approach feels less clean and in combination with
reason i), it's not generic enough. A dedicated BPF_MAP_FREEZE
command directly sets the flag and caller has the guarantee that
map is immutable from syscall side upon successful return for any
future syscall invocations that would alter the map state, which
is also more intuitive from an API point of view. A command name
such as BPF_MAP_LOCK has been avoided as it's too close with BPF
map spin locks (which already has BPF_F_LOCK flag). BPF_MAP_FREEZE
is so far only enabled for privileged users.

This work adds two new map creation flags BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG
and BPF_F_WRONLY_PROG in order to allow for read-only or
write-only BPF maps from a BPF program side.

Today we have BPF_F_RDONLY and BPF_F_WRONLY, but this only
applies to system call side, meaning the BPF program has full
read/write access to the map as usual while bpf(2) calls with
map fd can either only read or write into the map depending
on the flags. BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG and BPF_F_WRONLY_PROG allows
for the exact opposite such that verifier is going to reject
program loads if write into a read-only map or a read into a
write-only map is detected. For read-only map case also some
helpers are forbidden for programs that would alter the map
state such as map deletion, update, etc. As opposed to the two
BPF_F_RDONLY / BPF_F_WRONLY flags, BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG as well
as BPF_F_WRONLY_PROG really do correspond to the map lifetime.

We've enabled this generic map extension to various non-special
maps holding normal user data: array, hash, lru, lpm, local
storage, queue and stack. Further generic map types could be
followed up in future depending on use-case. Main use case
here is to forbid writes into .rodata map values from verifier
side.
