[ upstream commit c366287ebd698ef5e3de300d90cd62ee9ee7373e ]

Divides by zero are not nice, lets avoid them if possible.

Also do_div() seems not needed when dealing with 32bit operands,
but this seems a minor detail.

[ upstream commit 290af86629b25ffd1ed6232c4e9107da031705cb ]

The BPF interpreter has been used as part of the spectre 2 attack CVE-2017-5715.

A quote from goolge project zero blog:
"At this point, it would normally be necessary to locate gadgets in
the host kernel code that can be used to actually leak data by reading
from an attacker-controlled location, shifting and masking the result
appropriately and then using the result of that as offset to an
attacker-controlled address for a load. But piecing gadgets together
and figuring out which ones work in a speculation context seems annoying.
So instead, we decided to use the eBPF interpreter, which is built into
the host kernel - while there is no legitimate way to invoke it from inside
a VM, the presence of the code in the host kernel's text section is sufficient
to make it usable for the attack, just like with ordinary ROP gadgets."

To make attacker job harder introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON config
option that removes interpreter from the kernel in favor of JIT-only mode.
So far eBPF JIT is supported by:
x64, arm64, arm32, sparc64, s390, powerpc64, mips64

The start of JITed program is randomized and code page is marked as read-only.
In addition "constant blinding" can be turned on with net.core.bpf_jit_harden

v2-&gt;v3:
- move __bpf_prog_ret0 under ifdef (Daniel)

v1-&gt;v2:
- fix init order, test_bpf and cBPF (Daniel's feedback)
- fix offloaded bpf (Jakub's feedback)
- add 'return 0' dummy in case something can invoke prog-&gt;bpf_func
- retarget bpf tree. For bpf-next the patch would need one extra hunk.
  It will be sent when the trees are merged back to net-next

Considered doing:
  int bpf_jit_enable __read_mostly = BPF_EBPF_JIT_DEFAULT;
but it seems better to land the patch as-is and in bpf-next remove
bpf_jit_enable global variable from all JITs, consolidate in one place
and remove this jit_init() function.

[ upstream commit 90caccdd8cc0215705f18b92771b449b01e2474a ]

- 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.

commit c237ee5eb33bf19fe0591c04ff8db19da7323a83 upstream.

Move the functionality to patch instructions out of the verifier
code and into the core as the new bpf_patch_insn_single() helper
will be needed later on for blinding as well. No changes in
functionality.

We currently have duplicated cleanup code in bpf_prog_put() and
bpf_prog_put_rcu() cleanup paths. Back then we decided that it was
not worth it to make it a common helper called by both, but with
the recent addition of resource charging, we could have avoided
the fix in commit ac00737f4e81 ("bpf: Need to call bpf_prog_uncharge_memlock
from bpf_prog_put") if we would have had only a single, common path.
We can simplify it further by assigning aux-&gt;prog only once during
allocation time.

<title>bpf: split state from prandom_u32() and consolidate {c, e}BPF prngs</title>

<id>3ad0040573b0c00f88488bc31958acd07a55ee2e</id>
<content type='text'>
While recently arguing on a seccomp discussion that raw prandom_u32()
access shouldn't be exposed to unpriviledged user space, I forgot the
fact that SKF_AD_RANDOM extension actually already does it for some time
in cBPF via commit 4cd3675ebf74 ("filter: added BPF random opcode").

Since prandom_u32() is being used in a lot of critical networking code,
lets be more conservative and split their states. Furthermore, consolidate
eBPF and cBPF prandom handlers to use the new internal PRNG. For eBPF,
bpf_get_prandom_u32() was only accessible for priviledged users, but
should that change one day, we also don't want to leak raw sequences
through things like eBPF maps.

One thought was also to have own per bpf_prog states, but due to ABI
reasons this is not easily possible, i.e. the program code currently
cannot access bpf_prog itself, and copying the rnd_state to/from the
stack scratch space whenever a program uses the prng seems not really
worth the trouble and seems too hacky. If needed, taus113 could in such
cases be implemented within eBPF using a map entry to keep the state
space, or get_random_bytes() could become a second helper in cases where
performance would not be critical.

Both sides can trigger a one-time late init via prandom_init_once() on
the shared state. Performance-wise, there should even be a tiny gain
as bpf_user_rnd_u32() saves one function call. The PRNG needs to live
inside the BPF core since kernels could have a NET-less config as well.

As we need to add further flags to the bpf_prog structure, lets migrate
both bools to a bitfield representation. The size of the base structure
(excluding insns) remains unchanged at 40 bytes.

Add also tags for the kmemchecker, so that it doesn't throw false
positives. Even in case gcc would generate suboptimal code, it's not
being accessed in performance critical paths.

All the map backends are of generic nature. In order to avoid
adding much special code into the eBPF core, rewrite part of
the bpf_prog_array map code and make it more generic. So the
new perf_event_array map type can reuse most of code with
bpf_prog_array map and add fewer lines of special code.

improve accuracy of timing in test_bpf and add two stress tests:
- {skb-&gt;data[0], get_smp_processor_id} repeated 2k times
- {skb-&gt;data[0], vlan_push} x 68 followed by {skb-&gt;data[0], vlan_pop} x 68

1st test is useful to test performance of JIT implementation of BPF_LD_ABS
together with BPF_CALL instructions.
2nd test is stressing skb_vlan_push/pop logic together with skb-&gt;data access
via BPF_LD_ABS insn which checks that re-caching of skb-&gt;data is done correctly.

In order to call bpf_skb_vlan_push() from test_bpf.ko have to add
three export_symbol_gpl.

improve accuracy of timing in test_bpf and add two stress tests:
- {skb-&gt;data[0], get_smp_processor_id} repeated 2k times
- {skb-&gt;data[0], vlan_push} x 68 followed by {skb-&gt;data[0], vlan_pop} x 68

1st test is useful to test performance of JIT implementation of BPF_LD_ABS
together with BPF_CALL instructions.
2nd test is stressing skb_vlan_push/pop logic together with skb-&gt;data access
via BPF_LD_ABS insn which checks that re-caching of skb-&gt;data is done correctly.

In order to call bpf_skb_vlan_push() from test_bpf.ko have to add
three export_symbol_gpl.

ARG1 = BPF_R1 as it stands, evaluates to regs[BPF_REG_1] = regs[BPF_REG_1]
and thus has no effect. Add a comment instead, explaining what happens and
why it's okay to just remove it. Since from user space side, a tail call is
invoked as a pseudo helper function via bpf_tail_call_proto, the verifier
checks the arguments just like with any other helper function and makes
sure that the first argument (regs[BPF_REG_1])'s type is ARG_PTR_TO_CTX.
