Recent additions to support multiple programs in cgroups impose
a strict requirement, "all yes is yes, any no is no". To enforce
this the infrastructure requires the 'no' return code, SK_DROP in
this case, to be 0.

To apply these rules to SK_SKB program types the sk_actions return
codes need to be adjusted.

This fix adds SK_PASS and makes 'SK_DROP = 0'. Finally, remove
SK_ABORTED to remove any chance that the API may allow aborted
program flows to be passed up the stack. This would be incorrect
behavior and allow programs to break existing policies.

- bpf prog_array just like all other types of bpf array accepts 32-bit index.
  Clarify that in the comment.
- fix x64 JIT of bpf_tail_call which was incorrectly loading 8 instead of 4 bytes
- tighten corresponding check in the interpreter to stay consistent

The JIT bug can be triggered after introduction of BPF_F_NUMA_NODE flag
in commit 96eabe7a40aa in 4.14. Before that the map_flags would stay zero and
though JIT code is wrong it will check bounds correctly.
Hence two fixes tags. All other JITs don't have this problem.

Differ between illegal XDP action code and just driver
unsupported one to provide better feedback when we throw
a one-time warning here. Reason is that with 814abfabef3c
("xdp: add bpf_redirect helper function") not all drivers
support the new XDP return code yet and thus they will
fall into their 'default' case when checking for return
codes after program return, which then triggers a
bpf_warn_invalid_xdp_action() stating that the return
code is illegal, but from XDP perspective it's not.

I decided not to place something like a XDP_ACT_MAX define
into uapi i) given we don't have this either for all other
program types, ii) future action codes could have further
encoding there, which would render such define unsuitable
and we wouldn't be able to rip it out again, and iii) we
rarely add new action codes.

<title>bpf: sockmap, remove STRPARSER map_flags and add multi-map support</title>

<id>2f857d04601a1bb56958b95a9f180bce0e91e5e6</id>
<content type='text'>
The addition of map_flags BPF_SOCKMAP_STRPARSER flags was to handle a
specific use case where we want to have BPF parse program disabled on
an entry in a sockmap.

However, Alexei found the API a bit cumbersome and I agreed. Lets
remove the STRPARSER flag and support the use case by allowing socks
to be in multiple maps. This allows users to create two maps one with
programs attached and one without. When socks are added to maps they
now inherit any programs attached to the map. This is a nice
generalization and IMO improves the API.

The API rules are less ambiguous and do not need a flag:

  - When a sock is added to a sockmap we have two cases,

     i. The sock map does not have any attached programs so
        we can add sock to map without inheriting bpf programs.
        The sock may exist in 0 or more other maps.

    ii. The sock map has an attached BPF program. To avoid duplicate
        bpf programs we only add the sock entry if it does not have
        an existing strparser/verdict attached, returning -EBUSY if
        a program is already attached. Otherwise attach the program
        and inherit strparser/verdict programs from the sock map.

This allows for socks to be in a multiple maps for redirects and
inherit a BPF program from a single map.

Also this patch simplifies the logic around BPF_{EXIST|NOEXIST|ANY}
flags. In the original patch I tried to be extra clever and only
update map entries when necessary. Now I've decided the complexity
is not worth it. If users constantly update an entry with the same
sock for no reason (i.e. update an entry without actually changing
any parameters on map or sock) we still do an alloc/release. Using
this and allowing multiple entries of a sock to exist in a map the
logic becomes much simpler.

Note: Now that multiple maps are supported the "maps" pointer called
when a socket is closed becomes a list of maps to remove the sock from.
To keep the map up to date when a sock is added to the sockmap we must
add the map/elem in the list. Likewise when it is removed we must
remove it from the list. This results in searching the per psock list
on delete operation. On TCP_CLOSE events we walk the list and remove
the psock from all map/entry locations. I don't see any perf
implications in this because at most I have a psock in two maps. If
a psock were to be in many maps its possibly this might be noticeable
on delete but I can't think of a reason to dup a psock in many maps.
The sk_callback_lock is used to protect read/writes to the list. This
was convenient because in all locations we were taking the lock
anyways just after working on the list. Also the lock is per sock so
in normal cases we shouldn't see any contention.

<title>bpf: convert sockmap field attach_bpf_fd2 to type</title>

In the initial sockmap API we provided strparser and verdict programs
using a single attach command by extending the attach API with a the
attach_bpf_fd2 field.

However, if we add other programs in the future we will be adding a
field for every new possible type, attach_bpf_fd(3,4,..). This
seems a bit clumsy for an API. So lets push the programs using two
new type fields.

   BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_PARSER
   BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_VERDICT

This has the advantage of having a readable name and can easily be
extended in the future.

Updates to samples and sockmap included here also generalize tests
slightly to support upcoming patch for multiple map support.

<title>bpf: Allow selecting numa node during map creation</title>

The current map creation API does not allow to provide the numa-node
preference.  The memory usually comes from where the map-creation-process
is running.  The performance is not ideal if the bpf_prog is known to
always run in a numa node different from the map-creation-process.

One of the use case is sharding on CPU to different LRU maps (i.e.
an array of LRU maps).  Here is the test result of map_perf_test on
the INNER_LRU_HASH_PREALLOC test if we force the lru map used by
CPU0 to be allocated from a remote numa node:

[ The machine has 20 cores. CPU0-9 at node 0. CPU10-19 at node 1 ]

&gt;# taskset -c 10 ./map_perf_test 512 8 1260000 8000000
5:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1628380 events per sec
4:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1626396 events per sec
3:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1626144 events per sec

7:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1613305 events per sec
0:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1239150 events per sec  #&lt;&lt;&lt;

After specifying numa node:
&gt;# taskset -c 10 ./map_perf_test 512 8 1260000 8000000
5:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1629627 events per sec

7:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1609337 events per sec
0:inner_lru_hash_map_perf pre-alloc 1619340 events per sec #&lt;&lt;&lt;

This patch adds one field, numa_node, to the bpf_attr.  Since numa node 0
is a valid node, a new flag BPF_F_NUMA_NODE is also added.  The numa_node
field is honored if and only if the BPF_F_NUMA_NODE flag is set.

Numa node selection is not supported for percpu map.

This patch does not change all the kmalloc.  F.e.
'htab = kzalloc()' is not changed since the object
is small enough to stay in the cache.

This patch adds one field, numa_node, to the bpf_attr.  Since numa node 0
is a valid node, a new flag BPF_F_NUMA_NODE is also added.  The numa_node
field is honored if and only if the BPF_F_NUMA_NODE flag is set.

Numa node selection is not supported for percpu map.

This patch does not change all the kmalloc.  F.e.
'htab = kzalloc()' is not changed since the object
is small enough to stay in the cache.

Recently we added a new map type called dev map used to forward XDP
packets between ports (6093ec2dc313). This patches introduces a
similar notion for sockets.

A sockmap allows users to add participating sockets to a map. When
sockets are added to the map enough context is stored with the
map entry to use the entry with a new helper

  bpf_sk_redirect_map(map, key, flags)

This helper (analogous to bpf_redirect_map in XDP) is given the map
and an entry in the map. When called from a sockmap program, discussed
below, the skb will be sent on the socket using skb_send_sock().

With the above we need a bpf program to call the helper from that will
then implement the send logic. The initial site implemented in this
series is the recv_sock hook. For this to work we implemented a map
attach command to add attributes to a map. In sockmap we add two
programs a parse program and a verdict program. The parse program
uses strparser to build messages and pass them to the verdict program.
The parse programs use the normal strparser semantics. The verdict
program is of type SK_SKB.

The verdict program returns a verdict SK_DROP, or  SK_REDIRECT for
now. Additional actions may be added later. When SK_REDIRECT is
returned, expected when bpf program uses bpf_sk_redirect_map(), the
sockmap logic will consult per cpu variables set by the helper routine
and pull the sock entry out of the sock map. This pattern follows the
existing redirect logic in cls and xdp programs.

This gives the flow,

 recv_sock -&gt; str_parser (parse_prog) -&gt; verdict_prog -&gt; skb_send_sock
                                                     \
                                                      -&gt; kfree_skb

As an example use case a message based load balancer may use specific
logic in the verdict program to select the sock to send on.

Sample programs are provided in future patches that hopefully illustrate
the user interfaces. Also selftests are in follow-on patches.

A class of programs, run from strparser and soon from a new map type
called sock map, are used with skb as the context but on established
sockets. By creating a specific program type for these we can use
bpf helpers that expect full sockets and get the verifier to ensure
these helpers are not used out of context.

The new type is BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_SKB. This patch introduces the
infrastructure and type.
