BTF is required for 'struct bpf_timer' to be recognized inside map value.
The bpf timers are supported inside inner maps.
Remember 'struct btf *' in inner_map_meta to make it available
to the verifier in the sequence:

struct bpf_map *inner_map = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&amp;outer_map, ...);
if (inner_map)
    timer = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&amp;inner_map, ...);

Restrict bpf timers to array, hash (both preallocated and kmalloced), and
lru map types. The per-cpu maps with timers don't make sense, since 'struct
bpf_timer' is a part of map value. bpf timers in per-cpu maps would mean that
the number of timers depends on number of possible cpus and timers would not be
accessible from all cpus. lpm map support can be added in the future.
The timers in inner maps are supported.

The bpf_map_update/delete_elem() helpers and sys_bpf commands cancel and free
bpf_timer in a given map element.

Similar to 'struct bpf_spin_lock' BTF is required and it is used to validate
that map element indeed contains 'struct bpf_timer'.

Make check_and_init_map_value() init both bpf_spin_lock and bpf_timer when
map element data is reused in preallocated htab and lru maps.

Teach copy_map_value() to support both bpf_spin_lock and bpf_timer in a single
map element. There could be one of each, but not more than one. Due to 'one
bpf_timer in one element' restriction do not support timers in global data,
since global data is a map of single element, but from bpf program side it's
seen as many global variables and restriction of single global timer would be
odd. The sys_bpf map_freeze and sys_mmap syscalls are not allowed on maps with
timers, since user space could have corrupted mmap element and crashed the
kernel. The maps with timers cannot be readonly. Due to these restrictions
search for bpf_timer in datasec BTF in case it was placed in the global data to
report clear error.

The previous patch allowed 'struct bpf_timer' as a first field in a map
element only. Relax this restriction.

Refactor lru map to s/bpf_lru_push_free/htab_lru_push_free/ to cancel and free
the timer when lru map deletes an element as a part of it eviction algorithm.

Make sure that bpf program cannot access 'struct bpf_timer' via direct load/store.
The timer operation are done through helpers only.
This is similar to 'struct bpf_spin_lock'.

Most of the maps do not use max_entries during verification time.
Thus, those map_meta_equal() do not need to enforce max_entries
when it is inserted as an inner map during runtime.  The max_entries
check is removed from the default implementation bpf_map_meta_equal().

The prog_array_map and xsk_map are exception.  Its map_gen_lookup
uses max_entries to generate inline lookup code.  Thus, they will

is not refactored and stays in its own .c file.

<title>bpf: Add map_meta_equal map ops</title>

Some properties of the inner map is used in the verification time.
When an inner map is inserted to an outer map at runtime,
bpf_map_meta_equal() is currently used to ensure those properties
of the inserting inner map stays the same as the verification
time.

In particular, the current bpf_map_meta_equal() checks max_entries which
turns out to be too restrictive for most of the maps which do not use
max_entries during the verification time.  It limits the use case that
wants to replace a smaller inner map with a larger inner map.  There are
some maps do use max_entries during verification though.  For example,
the map_gen_lookup in array_map_ops uses the max_entries to generate
the inline lookup code.

To accommodate differences between maps, the map_meta_equal is added
to bpf_map_ops.  Each map-type can decide what to check when its
map is used as an inner map during runtime.

Also, some map types cannot be used as an inner map and they are
currently black listed in bpf_map_meta_alloc() in map_in_map.c.
It is not unusual that the new map types may not aware that such
blacklist exists.  This patch enforces an explicit opt-in
and only allows a map to be used as an inner map if it has
implemented the map_meta_equal ops.  It is based on the
discussion in [1].

All maps that support inner map has its map_meta_equal points
to bpf_map_meta_equal in this patch.  A later patch will
relax the max_entries check for most maps.  bpf_types.h
counts 28 map types.  This patch adds 23 ".map_meta_equal"
by using coccinelle.  -5 for
	BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY
	BPF_MAP_TYPE_(PERCPU)_CGROUP_STORAGE
	BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS
	BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS
	BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS

The "if (inner_map-&gt;inner_map_meta)" check in bpf_map_meta_alloc()
is moved such that the same error is returned.

Implement permissions as stated in uapi/linux/capability.h
In order to do that the verifier allow_ptr_leaks flag is split
into four flags and they are set as:
  env-&gt;allow_ptr_leaks = bpf_allow_ptr_leaks();
  env-&gt;bypass_spec_v1 = bpf_bypass_spec_v1();
  env-&gt;bypass_spec_v4 = bpf_bypass_spec_v4();
  env-&gt;bpf_capable = bpf_capable();

The first three currently equivalent to perfmon_capable(), since leaking kernel
pointers and reading kernel memory via side channel attacks is roughly
equivalent to reading kernel memory with cap_perfmon.

'bpf_capable' enables bounded loops, precision tracking, bpf to bpf calls and
other verifier features. 'allow_ptr_leaks' enable ptr leaks, ptr conversions,
subtraction of pointers. 'bypass_spec_v1' disables speculative analysis in the
verifier, run time mitigations in bpf array, and enables indirect variable
access in bpf programs. 'bypass_spec_v4' disables emission of sanitation code
by the verifier.

That means that the networking BPF program loaded with CAP_BPF + CAP_NET_ADMIN
will have speculative checks done by the verifier and other spectre mitigation
applied. Such networking BPF program will not be able to leak kernel pointers
and will not be able to access arbitrary kernel memory.

<title>bpf: Introduce BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS</title>

<id>85d33df357b634649ddbe0a20fd2d0fc5732c3cb</id>
<content type='text'>
The patch introduces BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS.  The map value
is a kernel struct with its func ptr implemented in bpf prog.
This new map is the interface to register/unregister/introspect
a bpf implemented kernel struct.

The kernel struct is actually embedded inside another new struct
(or called the "value" struct in the code).  For example,
"struct tcp_congestion_ops" is embbeded in:
struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops {
	refcount_t refcnt;
	enum bpf_struct_ops_state state;
	struct tcp_congestion_ops data;  /* &lt;-- kernel subsystem struct here */
}
The map value is "struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops".
The "bpftool map dump" will then be able to show the
state ("inuse"/"tobefree") and the number of subsystem's refcnt (e.g.
number of tcp_sock in the tcp_congestion_ops case).  This "value" struct
is created automatically by a macro.  Having a separate "value" struct
will also make extending "struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ" easier (e.g. adding
"void (*init)(void)" to "struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ" to do some
initialization works before registering the struct_ops to the kernel
subsystem).  The libbpf will take care of finding and populating the
"struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ" from "struct XYZ".

Register a struct_ops to a kernel subsystem:
1. Load all needed BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog(s)
2. Create a BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS with attr-&gt;btf_vmlinux_value_type_id
   set to the btf id "struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops" of the
   running kernel.
   Instead of reusing the attr-&gt;btf_value_type_id,
   btf_vmlinux_value_type_id s added such that attr-&gt;btf_fd can still be
   used as the "user" btf which could store other useful sysadmin/debug
   info that may be introduced in the furture,
   e.g. creation-date/compiler-details/map-creator...etc.
3. Create a "struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops" object as described
   in the running kernel btf.  Populate the value of this object.
   The function ptr should be populated with the prog fds.
4. Call BPF_MAP_UPDATE with the object created in (3) as
   the map value.  The key is always "0".

During BPF_MAP_UPDATE, the code that saves the kernel-func-ptr's
args as an array of u64 is generated.  BPF_MAP_UPDATE also allows
the specific struct_ops to do some final checks in "st_ops-&gt;init_member()"
(e.g. ensure all mandatory func ptrs are implemented).
If everything looks good, it will register this kernel struct
to the kernel subsystem.  The map will not allow further update
from this point.

Unregister a struct_ops from the kernel subsystem:
BPF_MAP_DELETE with key "0".

Introspect a struct_ops:
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM with key "0".  The map value returned will
have the prog _id_ populated as the func ptr.

The map value state (enum bpf_struct_ops_state) will transit from:
INIT (map created) =&gt;
INUSE (map updated, i.e. reg) =&gt;
TOBEFREE (map value deleted, i.e. unreg)

The kernel subsystem needs to call bpf_struct_ops_get() and
bpf_struct_ops_put() to manage the "refcnt" in the
"struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ".  This patch uses a separate refcnt
for the purose of tracking the subsystem usage.  Another approach
is to reuse the map-&gt;refcnt and then "show" (i.e. during map_lookup)
the subsystem's usage by doing map-&gt;refcnt - map-&gt;usercnt to filter out
the map-fd/pinned-map usage.  However, that will also tie down the
future semantics of map-&gt;refcnt and map-&gt;usercnt.

The very first subsystem's refcnt (during reg()) holds one
count to map-&gt;refcnt.  When the very last subsystem's refcnt
is gone, it will also release the map-&gt;refcnt.  All bpf_prog will be
freed when the map-&gt;refcnt reaches 0 (i.e. during map_free()).

Here is how the bpftool map command will look like:
[root@arch-fb-vm1 bpf]# bpftool map show
6: struct_ops  name dctcp  flags 0x0
	key 4B  value 256B  max_entries 1  memlock 4096B
	btf_id 6
[root@arch-fb-vm1 bpf]# bpftool map dump id 6
[{
        "value": {

Misc Notes:
* bpf_struct_ops_map_sys_lookup_elem() is added for syscall lookup.
  It does an inplace update on "*value" instead returning a pointer
  to syscall.c.  Otherwise, it needs a separate copy of "zero" value
  for the BPF_STRUCT_OPS_STATE_INIT to avoid races.

* The bpf_struct_ops_map_delete_elem() is also called without
  preempt_disable() from map_delete_elem().  It is because
  the "-&gt;unreg()" may requires sleepable context, e.g.
  the "tcp_unregister_congestion_control()".

* "const" is added to some of the existing "struct btf_func_model *"
  function arg to avoid a compiler warning caused by this patch.

<pre>
The patch introduces BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS.  The map value
is a kernel struct with its func ptr implemented in bpf prog.
This new map is the interface to register/unregister/introspect
a bpf implemented kernel struct.

The kernel struct is actually embedded inside another new struct
(or called the "value" struct in the code).  For example,
"struct tcp_congestion_ops" is embbeded in:
struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops {
	refcount_t refcnt;
	enum bpf_struct_ops_state state;
	struct tcp_congestion_ops data;  /* &lt;-- kernel subsystem struct here */
}
The map value is "struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops".
The "bpftool map dump" will then be able to show the
state ("inuse"/"tobefree") and the number of subsystem's refcnt (e.g.
number of tcp_sock in the tcp_congestion_ops case).  This "value" struct
is created automatically by a macro.  Having a separate "value" struct
will also make extending "struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ" easier (e.g. adding
"void (*init)(void)" to "struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ" to do some
initialization works before registering the struct_ops to the kernel
subsystem).  The libbpf will take care of finding and populating the
"struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ" from "struct XYZ".

Register a struct_ops to a kernel subsystem:
1. Load all needed BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog(s)
2. Create a BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS with attr-&gt;btf_vmlinux_value_type_id
   set to the btf id "struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops" of the
   running kernel.
   Instead of reusing the attr-&gt;btf_value_type_id,
   btf_vmlinux_value_type_id s added such that attr-&gt;btf_fd can still be
   used as the "user" btf which could store other useful sysadmin/debug
   info that may be introduced in the furture,
   e.g. creation-date/compiler-details/map-creator...etc.
3. Create a "struct bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops" object as described
   in the running kernel btf.  Populate the value of this object.
   The function ptr should be populated with the prog fds.
4. Call BPF_MAP_UPDATE with the object created in (3) as
   the map value.  The key is always "0".

During BPF_MAP_UPDATE, the code that saves the kernel-func-ptr's
args as an array of u64 is generated.  BPF_MAP_UPDATE also allows
the specific struct_ops to do some final checks in "st_ops-&gt;init_member()"
(e.g. ensure all mandatory func ptrs are implemented).
If everything looks good, it will register this kernel struct
to the kernel subsystem.  The map will not allow further update
from this point.

Unregister a struct_ops from the kernel subsystem:
BPF_MAP_DELETE with key "0".

Introspect a struct_ops:
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM with key "0".  The map value returned will
have the prog _id_ populated as the func ptr.

The map value state (enum bpf_struct_ops_state) will transit from:
INIT (map created) =&gt;
INUSE (map updated, i.e. reg) =&gt;
TOBEFREE (map value deleted, i.e. unreg)

The kernel subsystem needs to call bpf_struct_ops_get() and
bpf_struct_ops_put() to manage the "refcnt" in the
"struct bpf_struct_ops_XYZ".  This patch uses a separate refcnt
for the purose of tracking the subsystem usage.  Another approach
is to reuse the map-&gt;refcnt and then "show" (i.e. during map_lookup)
the subsystem's usage by doing map-&gt;refcnt - map-&gt;usercnt to filter out
the map-fd/pinned-map usage.  However, that will also tie down the
future semantics of map-&gt;refcnt and map-&gt;usercnt.

The very first subsystem's refcnt (during reg()) holds one
count to map-&gt;refcnt.  When the very last subsystem's refcnt
is gone, it will also release the map-&gt;refcnt.  All bpf_prog will be
freed when the map-&gt;refcnt reaches 0 (i.e. during map_free()).

Here is how the bpftool map command will look like:
[root@arch-fb-vm1 bpf]# bpftool map show
6: struct_ops  name dctcp  flags 0x0
	key 4B  value 256B  max_entries 1  memlock 4096B
	btf_id 6
[root@arch-fb-vm1 bpf]# bpftool map dump id 6

                "refs": {
                    "counter": 1
                }
            },
            "state": 1,
            "data": {

92117d8443bc ("bpf: fix refcnt overflow") turned refcounting of bpf_map into
potentially failing operation, when refcount reaches BPF_MAX_REFCNT limit
(32k). Due to using 32-bit counter, it's possible in practice to overflow
refcounter and make it wrap around to 0, causing erroneous map free, while
there are still references to it, causing use-after-free problems.

But having a failing refcounting operations are problematic in some cases. One
example is mmap() interface. After establishing initial memory-mapping, user
is allowed to arbitrarily map/remap/unmap parts of mapped memory, arbitrarily
splitting it into multiple non-contiguous regions. All this happening without
any control from the users of mmap subsystem. Rather mmap subsystem sends
notifications to original creator of memory mapping through open/close
callbacks, which are optionally specified during initial memory mapping
creation. These callbacks are used to maintain accurate refcount for bpf_map
(see next patch in this series). The problem is that open() callback is not
supposed to fail, because memory-mapped resource is set up and properly
referenced. This is posing a problem for using memory-mapping with BPF maps.

One solution to this is to maintain separate refcount for just memory-mappings
and do single bpf_map_inc/bpf_map_put when it goes from/to zero, respectively.
There are similar use cases in current work on tcp-bpf, necessitating extra
counter as well. This seems like a rather unfortunate and ugly solution that
doesn't scale well to various new use cases.

Another approach to solve this is to use non-failing refcount_t type, which
uses 32-bit counter internally, but, once reaching overflow state at UINT_MAX,
stays there. This utlimately causes memory leak, but prevents use after free.

But given refcounting is not the most performance-critical operation with BPF
maps (it's not used from running BPF program code), we can also just switch to
64-bit counter that can't overflow in practice, potentially disadvantaging
32-bit platforms a tiny bit. This simplifies semantics and allows above
described scenarios to not worry about failing refcount increment operation.

In terms of struct bpf_map size, we are still good and use the same amount of
space:

This patch, while modifying all users of bpf_map_inc, also cleans up its
interface to match bpf_map_put with separate operations for bpf_map_inc and
bpf_map_inc_with_uref (to match bpf_map_put and bpf_map_put_with_uref,
respectively). Also, given there are no users of bpf_map_inc_not_zero
specifying uref=true, remove uref flag and default to uref=false internally.

92117d8443bc ("bpf: fix refcnt overflow") turned refcounting of bpf_map into
potentially failing operation, when refcount reaches BPF_MAX_REFCNT limit
(32k). Due to using 32-bit counter, it's possible in practice to overflow
refcounter and make it wrap around to 0, causing erroneous map free, while
there are still references to it, causing use-after-free problems.

But having a failing refcounting operations are problematic in some cases. One
example is mmap() interface. After establishing initial memory-mapping, user
is allowed to arbitrarily map/remap/unmap parts of mapped memory, arbitrarily
splitting it into multiple non-contiguous regions. All this happening without
any control from the users of mmap subsystem. Rather mmap subsystem sends
notifications to original creator of memory mapping through open/close
callbacks, which are optionally specified during initial memory mapping
creation. These callbacks are used to maintain accurate refcount for bpf_map
(see next patch in this series). The problem is that open() callback is not
supposed to fail, because memory-mapped resource is set up and properly
referenced. This is posing a problem for using memory-mapping with BPF maps.

One solution to this is to maintain separate refcount for just memory-mappings
and do single bpf_map_inc/bpf_map_put when it goes from/to zero, respectively.
There are similar use cases in current work on tcp-bpf, necessitating extra
counter as well. This seems like a rather unfortunate and ugly solution that
doesn't scale well to various new use cases.

Another approach to solve this is to use non-failing refcount_t type, which
uses 32-bit counter internally, but, once reaching overflow state at UINT_MAX,
stays there. This utlimately causes memory leak, but prevents use after free.

But given refcounting is not the most performance-critical operation with BPF
maps (it's not used from running BPF program code), we can also just switch to
64-bit counter that can't overflow in practice, potentially disadvantaging
32-bit platforms a tiny bit. This simplifies semantics and allows above
described scenarios to not worry about failing refcount increment operation.

In terms of struct bpf_map size, we are still good and use the same amount of
space:

This patch, while modifying all users of bpf_map_inc, also cleans up its
interface to match bpf_map_put with separate operations for bpf_map_inc and
bpf_map_inc_with_uref (to match bpf_map_put and bpf_map_put_with_uref,
respectively). Also, given there are no users of bpf_map_inc_not_zero
specifying uref=true, remove uref flag and default to uref=false internally.

<title>bpf: set inner_map_meta-&gt;spin_lock_off correctly</title>

Commit d83525ca62cf ("bpf: introduce bpf_spin_lock")
introduced bpf_spin_lock and the field spin_lock_off
in kernel internal structure bpf_map has the following
meaning:
  &gt;=0 valid offset, &lt;0 error

For every map created, the kernel will ensure
spin_lock_off has correct value.

Currently, bpf_map-&gt;spin_lock_off is not copied
from the inner map to the map_in_map inner_map_meta
during a map_in_map type map creation, so
inner_map_meta-&gt;spin_lock_off = 0.
This will give verifier wrong information that
inner_map has bpf_spin_lock and the bpf_spin_lock
is defined at offset 0. An access to offset 0
of a value pointer will trigger the following error:
   bpf_spin_lock cannot be accessed directly by load/store

This patch fixed the issue by copy inner map's spin_lock_off
value to inner_map_meta-&gt;spin_lock_off.
