<id>84601d6ee68ae820dec97450934797046d62db4b</id>
<content type='text'>
Add bpf_link support skeleton.  To keep this reviewable, no bpf program
can be invoked yet, if a program is attached only a c-stub is called and
not the actual bpf program.

Defaults to 'y' if both netfilter and bpf syscall are enabled in kconfig.

Uapi example usage:
	union bpf_attr attr = { };

	attr.link_create.prog_fd = progfd;
	attr.link_create.attach_type = 0; /* unused */
	attr.link_create.netfilter.pf = PF_INET;
	attr.link_create.netfilter.hooknum = NF_INET_LOCAL_IN;
	attr.link_create.netfilter.priority = -128;

	err = bpf(BPF_LINK_CREATE, &amp;attr, sizeof(attr));

... this would attach progfd to ipv4:input hook.

Such hook gets removed automatically if the calling program exits.

BPF_NETFILTER program invocation is added in followup change.

NF_HOOK_OP_BPF enum will eventually be read from nfnetlink_hook, it
allows to tell userspace which program is attached at the given hook
when user runs 'nft hook list' command rather than just the priority
and not-very-helpful 'this hook runs a bpf prog but I can't tell which
one'.

Will also be used to disallow registration of two bpf programs with
same priority in a followup patch.

v4: arm32 cmpxchg only supports 32bit operand
    s/prio/priority/
v3: restrict prog attachment to ip/ip6 for now, lets lift restrictions if
    more use cases pop up (arptables, ebtables, netdev ingress/egress etc).

<title>bpf: Introduce opaque bpf_refcount struct and add btf_record plumbing</title>

<id>d54730b50bae1f3119bd686d551d66f0fcc387ca</id>
<content type='text'>
A 'struct bpf_refcount' is added to the set of opaque uapi/bpf.h types
meant for use in BPF programs. Similarly to other opaque types like
bpf_spin_lock and bpf_rbtree_node, the verifier needs to know where in
user-defined struct types a bpf_refcount can be located, so necessary
btf_record plumbing is added to enable this. bpf_refcount is sized to
hold a refcount_t.

Similarly to bpf_spin_lock, the offset of a bpf_refcount is cached in
btf_record as refcount_off in addition to being in the field array.
Caching refcount_off makes sense for this field because further patches
in the series will modify functions that take local kptrs (e.g.
bpf_obj_drop) to change their behavior if the type they're operating on
is refcounted. So enabling fast "is this type refcounted?" checks is
desirable.

No such verifier behavior changes are introduced in this patch, just
logic to recognize 'struct bpf_refcount' in btf_record.

<title>bpf: Add log_true_size output field to return necessary log buffer size</title>

Add output-only log_true_size and btf_log_true_size field to
BPF_PROG_LOAD and BPF_BTF_LOAD commands, respectively. It will return
the size of log buffer necessary to fit in all the log contents at
specified log_level. This is very useful for BPF loader libraries like
libbpf to be able to size log buffer correctly, but could be used by
users directly, if necessary, as well.

This patch plumbs all this through the code, taking into account actual
bpf_attr size provided by user to determine if these new fields are
expected by users. And if they are, set them from kernel on return.

We refactory btf_parse() function to accommodate this, moving attr and
uattr handling inside it. The rest is very straightforward code, which
is split from the logging accounting changes in the previous patch to
make it simpler to review logic vs UAPI changes.

By improving the BPF_LINK_UPDATE command of bpf(), it should allow you
to conveniently switch between different struct_ops on a single
bpf_link. This would enable smoother transitions from one struct_ops
to another.

The struct_ops maps passing along with BPF_LINK_UPDATE should have the
BPF_F_LINK flag.

<title>bpf: Create links for BPF struct_ops maps.</title>

Make bpf_link support struct_ops.  Previously, struct_ops were always
used alone without any associated links. Upon updating its value, a
struct_ops would be activated automatically. Yet other BPF program
types required to make a bpf_link with their instances before they
could become active. Now, however, you can create an inactive
struct_ops, and create a link to activate it later.

With bpf_links, struct_ops has a behavior similar to other BPF program
types. You can pin/unpin them from their links and the struct_ops will
be deactivated when its link is removed while previously need someone
to delete the value for it to be deactivated.

bpf_links are responsible for registering their associated
struct_ops. You can only use a struct_ops that has the BPF_F_LINK flag
set to create a bpf_link, while a structs without this flag behaves in
the same manner as before and is registered upon updating its value.

The BPF_LINK_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS serves a dual purpose. Not only is it
used to craft the links for BPF struct_ops programs, but also to
create links for BPF struct_ops them-self.  Since the links of BPF
struct_ops programs are only used to create trampolines internally,
they are never seen in other contexts. Thus, they can be reused for
struct_ops themself.

To maintain a reference to the map supporting this link, we add
bpf_struct_ops_link as an additional type. The pointer of the map is
RCU and won't be necessary until later in the patchset.

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.

But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:

  Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
  file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
  For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
  the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:

  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing

Many comments and samples in the bpf code still refer to this older
debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.  There are a few
spots where the bpf code explicitly checks both tracefs and debugfs
(tools/bpf/bpftool/tracelog.c and tools/lib/api/fs/fs.c) and I've left
those alone so that the tools can continue to work with both paths.

<content type='text'>
Implement the first open-coded iterator type over a range of integers.

It's public API consists of:
  - bpf_iter_num_new() constructor, which accepts [start, end) range
    (that is, start is inclusive, end is exclusive).
  - bpf_iter_num_next() which will keep returning read-only pointer to int
    until the range is exhausted, at which point NULL will be returned.
    If bpf_iter_num_next() is kept calling after this, NULL will be
    persistently returned.
  - bpf_iter_num_destroy() destructor, which needs to be called at some
    point to clean up iterator state. BPF verifier enforces that iterator
    destructor is called at some point before BPF program exits.

Note that `start = end = X` is a valid combination to setup an empty
iterator. bpf_iter_num_new() will return 0 (success) for any such
combination.

If bpf_iter_num_new() detects invalid combination of input arguments, it
returns error, resets iterator state to, effectively, empty iterator, so
any subsequent call to bpf_iter_num_next() will keep returning NULL.

BPF verifier has no knowledge that returned integers are in the
[start, end) value range, as both `start` and `end` are not statically
known and enforced: they are runtime values.

While the implementation is pretty trivial, some care needs to be taken
to avoid overflows and underflows. Subsequent selftests will validate
correctness of [start, end) semantics, especially around extremes
(INT_MIN and INT_MAX).

Similarly to bpf_loop(), we enforce that no more than BPF_MAX_LOOPS can
be specified.

bpf_iter_num_{new,next,destroy}() is a logical evolution from bounded
BPF loops and bpf_loop() helper and is the basis for implementing
ergonomic BPF loops with no statically known or verified bounds.
Subsequent patches implement bpf_for() macro, demonstrating how this can
be wrapped into something that works and feels like a normal for() loop
in C language.

  - bpf_iter_num_destroy() destructor, which needs to be called at some
    point to clean up iterator state. BPF verifier enforces that iterator
    destructor is called at some point before BPF program exits.

Note that `start = end = X` is a valid combination to setup an empty
iterator. bpf_iter_num_new() will return 0 (success) for any such
combination.

If bpf_iter_num_new() detects invalid combination of input arguments, it
returns error, resets iterator state to, effectively, empty iterator, so
any subsequent call to bpf_iter_num_next() will keep returning NULL.

BPF verifier has no knowledge that returned integers are in the
[start, end) value range, as both `start` and `end` are not statically
known and enforced: they are runtime values.

While the implementation is pretty trivial, some care needs to be taken
to avoid overflows and underflows. Subsequent selftests will validate
correctness of [start, end) semantics, especially around extremes
(INT_MIN and INT_MAX).

Similarly to bpf_loop(), we enforce that no more than BPF_MAX_LOOPS can
be specified.

bpf_iter_num_{new,next,destroy}() is a logical evolution from bounded
BPF loops and bpf_loop() helper and is the basis for implementing
ergonomic BPF loops with no statically known or verified bounds.
Subsequent patches implement bpf_for() macro, demonstrating how this can
be wrapped into something that works and feels like a normal for() loop
in C language.

<title>bpf: Add support for absolute value BPF timers</title>

<id>f71f8530494bb5ab43d3369ef0ce8373eb1ee077</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new flag BPF_F_TIMER_ABS that can be passed to bpf_timer_start()
to start an absolute value timer instead of the default relative value.
This makes the timer expire at an exact point in time, instead of a time
with latencies induced by both the BPF and timer subsystems.

<title>bpf: Add bpf_dynptr_slice and bpf_dynptr_slice_rdwr</title>

<id>66e3a13e7c2c44d0c9dd6bb244680ca7529a8845</id>
<content type='text'>
Two new kfuncs are added, bpf_dynptr_slice and bpf_dynptr_slice_rdwr.
The user must pass in a buffer to store the contents of the data slice
if a direct pointer to the data cannot be obtained.

For skb and xdp type dynptrs, these two APIs are the only way to obtain
a data slice. However, for other types of dynptrs, there is no
difference between bpf_dynptr_slice(_rdwr) and bpf_dynptr_data.

For skb type dynptrs, the data is copied into the user provided buffer
if any of the data is not in the linear portion of the skb. For xdp type
dynptrs, the data is copied into the user provided buffer if the data is
between xdp frags.

If the skb is cloned and a call to bpf_dynptr_data_rdwr is made, then
the skb will be uncloned (see bpf_unclone_prologue()).

Please note that any bpf_dynptr_write() automatically invalidates any prior
data slices of the skb dynptr. This is because the skb may be cloned or
may need to pull its paged buffer into the head. As such, any
bpf_dynptr_write() will automatically have its prior data slices
invalidated, even if the write is to data in the skb head of an uncloned
skb. Please note as well that any other helper calls that change the
underlying packet buffer (eg bpf_skb_pull_data()) invalidates any data
slices of the skb dynptr as well, for the same reasons.
