pull-request: bpf-next 2023-04-13

We've added 260 non-merge commits during the last 36 day(s) which contain
a total of 356 files changed, 21786 insertions(+), 11275 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Rework BPF verifier log behavior and implement it as a rotating log
   by default with the option to retain old-style fixed log behavior,
   from Andrii Nakryiko.

2) Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device operating
   in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for controlling encap
   params, from Christian Ehrig.

3) Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular kfunc
   exists or not, and also add support for this in light skeleton,
   from Alexei Starovoitov.

4) Optimize hashmap lookups when key size is multiple of 4,
   from Anton Protopopov.

5) Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
   tasks to be stored in BPF maps, from David Vernet.

6) Add support for stashing local BPF kptr into a map value via
   bpf_kptr_xchg(). This is useful e.g. for rbtree node creation
   for new cgroups, from Dave Marchevsky.

7) Fix BTF handling of is_int_ptr to skip modifiers to work around
   tracing issues where a program cannot be attached, from Feng Zhou.

8) Migrate a big portion of test_verifier unit tests over to
   test_progs -a verifier_* via inline asm to ease {read,debug}ability,
   from Eduard Zingerman.

9) Several updates to the instruction-set.rst documentation
   which is subject to future IETF standardization
   (https://lwn.net/Articles/926882/), from Dave Thaler.

10) Fix BPF verifier in the __reg_bound_offset's 64-&gt;32 tnum sub-register
    known bits information propagation, from Daniel Borkmann.

11) Add skb bitfield compaction work related to BPF with the overall goal
    to make more of the sk_buff bits optional, from Jakub Kicinski.

12) BPF selftest cleanups for build id extraction which stand on its own
    from the upcoming integration work of build id into struct file object,
    from Jiri Olsa.

13) Add fixes and optimizations for xsk descriptor validation and several
    selftest improvements for xsk sockets, from Kal Conley.

14) Add BPF links for struct_ops and enable switching implementations
    of BPF TCP cong-ctls under a given name by replacing backing
    struct_ops map, from Kui-Feng Lee.

15) Remove a misleading BPF verifier env-&gt;bypass_spec_v1 check on variable
    offset stack read as earlier Spectre checks cover this,
    from Luis Gerhorst.

16) Fix issues in copy_from_user_nofault() for BPF and other tracers
    to resemble copy_from_user_nmi() from safety PoV, from Florian Lehner
    and Alexei Starovoitov.

17) Add --json-summary option to test_progs in order for CI tooling to
    ease parsing of test results, from Manu Bretelle.

18) Batch of improvements and refactoring to prep for upcoming
    bpf_local_storage conversion to bpf_mem_cache_{alloc,free} allocator,
    from Martin KaFai Lau.

19) Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
    flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations,
    from Quentin Monnet.

20) Fix attaching fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm to modules by extracting
    the module name from BTF of the target and searching kallsyms of
    the correct module, from Viktor Malik.

21) Improve BPF verifier handling of '&lt;const&gt; &lt;cond&gt; &lt;non_const&gt;'
    to better detect whether in particular jmp32 branches are taken,
    from Yonghong Song.

22) Allow BPF TCP cong-ctls to write app_limited of struct tcp_sock.
    A built-in cc or one from a kernel module is already able to write
    to app_limited, from Yixin Shen.

Today ipip devices in collect-metadata mode don't allow for sending FOU
or GUE encapsulated packets. This patch lifts the restriction by adding
a struct ip_tunnel_encap to the tunnel metadata.

On the egress path, the members of this struct can be set by the
bpf_skb_set_fou_encap kfunc via a BPF tc-hook. Instead of dropping packets
wishing to use additional UDP encapsulation, ip_md_tunnel_xmit now
evaluates the contents of this struct and adds the corresponding FOU or
GUE header. Furthermore, it is making sure that additional header bytes
are taken into account for PMTU discovery.

On the ingress path, an ipip device in collect-metadata mode will fill this
struct and a BPF tc-hook can obtain the information via a call to the
bpf_skb_get_fou_encap kfunc.

The minor change to ip_tunnel_encap, which now takes a pointer to
struct ip_tunnel_encap instead of struct ip_tunnel, allows us to control
FOU encap type and parameters on a per packet-level.

Commit 451ef36bd229 ("ip_tunnels: Add new flow flags field to ip_tunnel_key")
added a "flow_flags" member to struct ip_tunnel_key which was later used by
the commit in the fixes tag to avoid dropping packets with sources that
aren't locally configured when set in bpf_set_tunnel_key().

VXLAN and GENEVE were made to respect this flag, ip tunnels like IPIP and GRE
were not.

This commit fixes this omission by making ip_tunnel_init_flow() receive
the flow flags from the tunnel key in the relevant collect_md paths.

The current code allows for VXLAN and GENEVE to inherit the TOS
respective the TTL when skb-protocol is ETH_P_IP or ETH_P_IPV6.
However when the payload is VLAN encapsulated, then this inheriting
does not work, because the visible skb-protocol is of type
ETH_P_8021Q or ETH_P_8021AD.

Instead of skb-&gt;protocol use skb_protocol().

As explained in commit 316580b69d0a ("u64_stats: provide u64_stats_t type")
we should use u64_stats_t and related accessors to avoid load/store tearing.

<title>ip_gre, ip6_gre: Fix race condition on o_seqno in collect_md mode</title>

As pointed out by Jakub Kicinski, currently using TUNNEL_SEQ in
collect_md mode is racy for [IP6]GRE[TAP] devices.  Consider the
following sequence of events:

1. An [IP6]GRE[TAP] device is created in collect_md mode using "ip link
   add ... external".  "ip" ignores "[o]seq" if "external" is specified,
   so TUNNEL_SEQ is off, and the device is marked as NETIF_F_LLTX (i.e.
   it uses lockless TX);
2. Someone sets TUNNEL_SEQ on outgoing skb's, using e.g.
   bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key() in an eBPF program attached to this device;
3. gre_fb_xmit() or __gre6_xmit() processes these skb's:

	gre_build_header(skb, tun_hlen,
			 flags, protocol,
			 tunnel_id_to_key32(tun_info-&gt;key.tun_id),
			 (flags &amp; TUNNEL_SEQ) ? htonl(tunnel-&gt;o_seqno++)
					      : 0);   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Since we are not using the TX lock (&amp;txq-&gt;_xmit_lock), multiple CPUs may
try to do this tunnel-&gt;o_seqno++ in parallel, which is racy.  Fix it by
making o_seqno atomic_t.

As mentioned by Eric Dumazet in commit b790e01aee74 ("ip_gre: lockless
xmit"), making o_seqno atomic_t increases "chance for packets being out
of order at receiver" when NETIF_F_LLTX is on.

Maybe a better fix would be:

1. Do not ignore "oseq" in external mode.  Users MUST specify "oseq" if
   they want the kernel to allow sequencing of outgoing packets;
2. Reject all outgoing TUNNEL_SEQ packets if the device was not created
   with "oseq".

Unfortunately, that would break userspace.

We could now make [IP6]GRE[TAP] devices always NETIF_F_LLTX, but let us
do it in separate patches to keep this fix minimal.
