<content type='text'>
Make the 2 byte padding in struct bpf_tunnel_key between tunnel_ttl
and tunnel_label members explicit. No issue has been observed, and
gcc/llvm does padding for the old struct already, where tunnel_label
was not yet present, so the current code works, but since it's part
of uapi, make sure we don't introduce holes in structs.

Therefore, add tunnel_ext that we can use generically in future
(f.e. to flag OAM messages for backends, etc). Also add the offset
to the compat tests to be sure should some compilers not padd the
tail of the old version of bpf_tunnel_key.

This patch extends bpf_tunnel_key with a tunnel_label member, that maps
to ip_tunnel_key's label so underlying backends like vxlan and geneve
can propagate the label to udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb(), where it's being set
in the IPv6 header. It allows for having 20 more bits to encode/decode
flow related meta information programmatically. Tested with vxlan and
geneve.

If kprobe is placed on spin_unlock then calling kmalloc/kfree from
bpf programs is not safe, since the following dead lock is possible:
kfree-&gt;spin_lock(kmem_cache_node-&gt;lock)...spin_unlock-&gt;kprobe-&gt;
bpf_prog-&gt;map_update-&gt;kmalloc-&gt;spin_lock(of the same kmem_cache_node-&gt;lock)
and deadlocks.

The following solutions were considered and some implemented, but
eventually discarded
- kmem_cache_create for every map
- add recursion check to slow-path of slub
- use reserved memory in bpf_map_update for in_irq or in preempt_disabled
- kmalloc via irq_work

At the end pre-allocation of all map elements turned out to be the simplest
solution and since the user is charged upfront for all the memory, such
pre-allocation doesn't affect the user space visible behavior.

Since it's impossible to tell whether kprobe is triggered in a safe
location from kmalloc point of view, use pre-allocation by default
and introduce new BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC flag.

While testing of per-cpu hash maps it was discovered
that alloc_percpu(GFP_ATOMIC) has odd corner cases and often
fails to allocate memory even when 90% of it is free.
The pre-allocation of per-cpu hash elements solves this problem as well.

Turned out that bpf_map_update() quickly followed by
bpf_map_lookup()+bpf_map_delete() is very common pattern used
in many of iovisor/bcc/tools, so there is additional benefit of
pre-allocation, since such use cases are must faster.

Since all hash map elements are now pre-allocated we can remove
atomic increment of htab-&gt;count and save few more cycles.

Also add bpf_map_precharge_memlock() to check rlimit_memlock early to avoid
large malloc/free done by users who don't have sufficient limits.

Pre-allocation is done with vmalloc and alloc/free is done
via percpu_freelist. Here are performance numbers for different
pre-allocation algorithms that were implemented, but discarded
in favor of percpu_freelist:

1 cpu:
pcpu_ida	2.1M
pcpu_ida nolock	2.3M
bt		2.4M
kmalloc		1.8M
hlist+spinlock	2.3M
pcpu_freelist	2.6M

4 cpu:
pcpu_ida	1.5M
pcpu_ida nolock	1.8M
bt w/smp_align	1.7M
bt no/smp_align	1.1M
kmalloc		0.7M
hlist+spinlock	0.2M
pcpu_freelist	2.0M

8 cpu:
pcpu_ida	0.7M
bt w/smp_align	0.8M
kmalloc		0.4M
pcpu_freelist	1.5M

32 cpu:
kmalloc		0.13M
pcpu_freelist	0.49M

pcpu_ida nolock is a modified percpu_ida algorithm without
percpu_ida_cpu locks and without cross-cpu tag stealing.
It's faster than existing percpu_ida, but not as fast as pcpu_freelist.

bt is a variant of block/blk-mq-tag.c simlified and customized
for bpf use case. bt w/smp_align is using cache line for every 'long'
(similar to blk-mq-tag). bt no/smp_align allocates 'long'
bitmasks continuously to save memory. It's comparable to percpu_ida
and in some cases faster, but slower than percpu_freelist

hlist+spinlock is the simplest free list with single spinlock.
As expeceted it has very bad scaling in SMP.

kmalloc is existing implementation which is still available via
BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC flag. It's significantly slower in single cpu and
in 8 cpu setup it's 3 times slower than pre-allocation with pcpu_freelist,
but saves memory, so in cases where map-&gt;max_entries can be large
and number of map update/delete per second is low, it may make
sense to use it.

<title>bpf: support for access to tunnel options</title>

<id>14ca0751c96f8d3d0f52e8ed3b3236f8b34d3460</id>
<content type='text'>
After eBPF being able to programmatically access/manage tunnel key meta
data via commit d3aa45ce6b94 ("bpf: add helpers to access tunnel metadata")
and more recently also for IPv6 through c6c33454072f ("bpf: support ipv6
for bpf_skb_{set,get}_tunnel_key"), this work adds two complementary
helpers to generically access their auxiliary tunnel options.

Geneve and vxlan support this facility. For geneve, TLVs can be pushed,
and for the vxlan case its GBP extension. I.e. setting tunnel key for geneve
case only makes sense, if we can also read/write TLVs into it. In the GBP
case, it provides the flexibility to easily map the group policy ID in
combination with other helpers or maps.

I chose to model this as two separate helpers, bpf_skb_{set,get}_tunnel_opt(),
for a couple of reasons. bpf_skb_{set,get}_tunnel_key() is already rather
complex by itself, and there may be cases for tunnel key backends where
tunnel options are not always needed. If we would have integrated this
into bpf_skb_{set,get}_tunnel_key() nevertheless, we are very limited with
remaining helper arguments, so keeping compatibility on structs in case of
passing in a flat buffer gets more cumbersome. Separating both also allows
for more flexibility and future extensibility, f.e. options could be fed
directly from a map, etc.

Moreover, change geneve's xmit path to test only for info-&gt;options_len
instead of TUNNEL_GENEVE_OPT flag. This makes it more consistent with vxlan's
xmit path and allows for avoiding to specify a protocol flag in the API on
xmit, so it can be protocol agnostic. Having info-&gt;options_len is enough
information that is needed. Tested with vxlan and geneve.

The fix in 35e2d1152b22 ("tunnels: Allow IPv6 UDP checksums to be correctly
controlled.") changed behavior for bpf_set_tunnel_key() when in use with
IPv6 and thus uncovered a bug that TUNNEL_CSUM needed to be set but wasn't.
As a result, the stack dropped ingress vxlan IPv6 packets, that have been
sent via eBPF through collect meta data mode due to checksum now being zero.

Since after LCO, we enable IPv4 checksum by default, so make that analogous
and only provide a flag BPF_F_ZERO_CSUM_TX for the user to turn it off in
IPv4 case.

When using this helper for updating UDP checksums, we need to extend
this in order to write CSUM_MANGLED_0 for csum computations that result
into 0 as sum. Reason we need this is because packets with a checksum
could otherwise become incorrectly marked as a packet without a checksum.
Likewise, if the user indicates BPF_F_MARK_MANGLED_0, then we should
not turn packets without a checksum into ones with a checksum.

<title>bpf: add generic bpf_csum_diff helper</title>

For L4 checksums, we currently have bpf_l4_csum_replace() helper. It's
currently limited to handle 2 and 4 byte changes in a header and feeds the
from/to into inet_proto_csum_replace{2,4}() helpers of the kernel. When
working with IPv6, for example, this makes it rather cumbersome to deal
with, similarly when editing larger parts of a header.

Instead, extend the API in a more generic way: For bpf_l4_csum_replace(),
add a case for header field mask of 0 to change the checksum at a given
offset through inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff(), and provide a helper
bpf_csum_diff() that can generically calculate a from/to diff for arbitrary
amounts of data.

This can be used in multiple ways: for the bpf_l4_csum_replace() only
part, this even provides us with the option to insert precalculated diffs
from user space f.e. from a map, or from bpf_csum_diff() during runtime.

bpf_csum_diff() has a optional from/to stack buffer input, so we can
calculate a diff by using a scratchbuffer for scenarios where we're
inserting (from is NULL), removing (to is NULL) or diffing (from/to buffers
don't need to be of equal size) data. Also, bpf_csum_diff() allows to
feed a previous csum into csum_partial(), so the function can also be
cascaded.
