<title>bpf: Specify access type of bpf_sysctl_get_name args</title>

The second argument of bpf_sysctl_get_name() helper is a pointer to a
buffer that is being written to. However that isn't specify in the
prototype.

Until commit 37cce22dbd51a ("bpf: verifier: Refactor helper access
type tracking"), all helper accesses were considered as a possible
write access by the verifier, so no big harm was done. However, since
then, the verifier might make wrong asssumption about the content of
that address which might lead it to make faulty optimizations (such as
removing code that was wrongly labeled dead). This is what happens in
test_sysctl selftest to the tests related to sysctl_get_name.

Add MEM_WRITE flag the second argument of bpf_sysctl_get_name().

<title>bpf: Allow pre-ordering for bpf cgroup progs</title>

<id>4b82b181a26cff8bf7adc3a85a88d121d92edeaf</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently for bpf progs in a cgroup hierarchy, the effective prog array
is computed from bottom cgroup to upper cgroups (post-ordering). For
example, the following cgroup hierarchy
    root cgroup: p1, p2
        subcgroup: p3, p4
have BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI for both cgroup levels.
The effective cgroup array ordering looks like
    p3 p4 p1 p2
and at run time, progs will execute based on that order.

But in some cases, it is desirable to have root prog executes earlier than
children progs (pre-ordering). For example,
  - prog p1 intends to collect original pkt dest addresses.
  - prog p3 will modify original pkt dest addresses to a proxy address for
    security reason.
The end result is that prog p1 gets proxy address which is not what it
wants. Putting p1 to every child cgroup is not desirable either as it
will duplicate itself in many child cgroups. And this is exactly a use case
we are encountering in Meta.

To fix this issue, let us introduce a flag BPF_F_PREORDER. If the flag
is specified at attachment time, the prog has higher priority and the
ordering with that flag will be from top to bottom (pre-ordering).
For example, in the above example,
    root cgroup: p1, p2
        subcgroup: p3, p4
Let us say p2 and p4 are marked with BPF_F_PREORDER. The final
effective array ordering will be
    p2 p4 p3 p1

Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:
 "sysctl ctl_table constification:

   - Constifying ctl_table structs prevents the modification of
     proc_handler function pointers. All ctl_table struct arguments are
     const qualified in the sysctl API in such a way that the ctl_table
     arrays being defined elsewhere and passed through sysctl can be
     constified one-by-one.

     We kick the constification off by qualifying user_table in
     kernel/ucount.c and expect all the ctl_tables to be constified in
     the coming releases.

  Misc fixes:

   - Adjust comments in two places to better reflect the code

   - Remove superfluous dput calls

   - Remove Luis from sysctl maintainership

   - Replace comments about holding a lock with calls to
     lockdep_assert_held"

The sysctl core is moving to allow "struct ctl_table" in read-only memory.
As a preparation for that all functions handling "struct ctl_table" need
to be able to work with "const struct ctl_table".
As __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_sysctl() does not modify its table, it can be
adapted trivially.

This issue can be reproduced by the following pressuse test:
1. A large number of cpuset cgroups are deleted.
2. Set cpu on and off repeatly.
3. Set watchdog_thresh repeatly.
The scripts can be obtained at LINK mentioned above the signature.

The reason for this issue is cgroup_mutex and cpu_hotplug_lock are
acquired in different tasks, which may lead to deadlock.
It can lead to a deadlock through the following steps:
1. A large number of cpusets are deleted asynchronously, which puts a
   large number of cgroup_bpf_release works into system_wq. The max_active
   of system_wq is WQ_DFL_ACTIVE(256). Consequently, all active works are
   cgroup_bpf_release works, and many cgroup_bpf_release works will be put
   into inactive queue. As illustrated in the diagram, there are 256 (in
   the acvtive queue) + n (in the inactive queue) works.
2. Setting watchdog_thresh will hold cpu_hotplug_lock.read and put
   smp_call_on_cpu work into system_wq. However step 1 has already filled
   system_wq, 'sscs.work' is put into inactive queue. 'sscs.work' has
   to wait until the works that were put into the inacvtive queue earlier
   have executed (n cgroup_bpf_release), so it will be blocked for a while.
3. Cpu offline requires cpu_hotplug_lock.write, which is blocked by step 2.
4. Cpusets that were deleted at step 1 put cgroup_release works into
   cgroup_destroy_wq. They are competing to get cgroup_mutex all the time.
   When cgroup_metux is acqured by work at css_killed_work_fn, it will
   call cpuset_css_offline, which needs to acqure cpu_hotplug_lock.read.
   However, cpuset_css_offline will be blocked for step 3.
5. At this moment, there are 256 works in active queue that are
   cgroup_bpf_release, they are attempting to acquire cgroup_mutex, and as
   a result, all of them are blocked. Consequently, sscs.work can not be
   executed. Ultimately, this situation leads to four processes being
   blocked, forming a deadlock.

system_wq(step1)		WatchDog(step2)			cpu offline(step3)	cgroup_destroy_wq(step4)
...
2000+ cgroups deleted asyn
256 actives + n inactives

				P(cpu_hotplug_lock.read)
				put sscs.work into system_wq

											cpuset_css_offline
											P(cpu_hotplug_lock.read)
											...blocking...
256 cgroup_bpf_release
mutex_lock(&amp;cgroup_mutex);
..blocking...

To fix the problem, place cgroup_bpf_release works on a dedicated
workqueue which can break the loop and solve the problem. System wqs are
for misc things which shouldn't create a large number of concurrent work
items. If something is going to generate &gt;WQ_DFL_ACTIVE(256) concurrent
work items, it should use its own dedicated workqueue.

This issue can be reproduced by the following pressuse test:
1. A large number of cpuset cgroups are deleted.
2. Set cpu on and off repeatly.
3. Set watchdog_thresh repeatly.

<title>bpf: Allow bpf_current_task_under_cgroup() with BPF_CGROUP_*</title>

The helper bpf_current_task_under_cgroup() currently is only allowed for
tracing programs, allow its usage also in the BPF_CGROUP_* program types.

Move the code from kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c to kernel/bpf/helpers.c,
so it compiles also without CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS.

This will be used in systemd-networkd to monitor the sysctl writes,
and filter it's own writes from others:

<title>bpf: Allow helper bpf_get_[ns_]current_pid_tgid() for all prog types</title>

Currently bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() is allowed in tracing, cgroup
and sk_msg progs while bpf_get_ns_current_pid_tgid() is only allowed
in tracing progs.

We have an internal use case where for an application running
in a container (with pid namespace), user wants to get
the pid associated with the pid namespace in a cgroup bpf
program. Currently, cgroup bpf progs already allow
bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(). Let us allow bpf_get_ns_current_pid_tgid()
as well.

With auditing the code, bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() is also used
by sk_msg prog. But there are no side effect to expose these two
helpers to all prog types since they do not reveal any kernel specific
data. The detailed discussion is in [1].

So with this patch, both bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() and bpf_get_ns_current_pid_tgid()
are put in bpf_base_func_proto(), making them available to all
program types.
