The old behavior of bpf_map_meta_equal was that it compared timer_off
to be equal (but not spin_lock_off, because that was not allowed), and
did memcmp of kptr_off_tab.

Now, we memcmp the btf_record of two bpf_map structs, which has all
fields.

We preserve backwards compat as we kzalloc the array, so if only spin
lock and timer exist in map, we only compare offset while the rest of
unused members in the btf_field struct are zeroed out.

In case of kptr, btf and everything else is of vmlinux or module, so as
long type is same it will match, since kernel btf, module, dtor pointer
will be same across maps.

Now with list_head in the mix, things are a bit complicated. We
implicitly add a requirement that both BTFs are same, because struct
btf_field_list_head has btf and value_rec members.

We obviously shouldn't force BTFs to be equal by default, as that breaks
backwards compatibility.

Currently it is only implicitly required due to list_head matching
struct btf and value_rec member. value_rec points back into a btf_record
stashed in the map BTF (btf member of btf_field_list_head). So that
pointer and btf member has to match exactly.

Document all these subtle details so that things don't break in the
future when touching this code.

There is no need to restrict users from locking bpf_spin_lock in map
values of inner maps. Each inner map lookup gets a unique reg-&gt;id
assigned to the returned PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE which will be preserved after
the NULL check. Distinct lookups into different inner map get unique
IDs, and distinct lookups into same inner map also get unique IDs.

Hence, lift the restriction by removing the check return -ENOTSUPP in
map_in_map.c. Later commits will add comprehensive test cases to ensure
that invalid cases are rejected.

Far too much code simply assumes that both btf_record and btf_field_offs
are set to valid pointers together, or both are unset. They go together
hand in hand as btf_record describes the special fields and
btf_field_offs is compact representation for runtime copying/zeroing.

It is very difficult to make this clear in the code when the only
exception to this universal invariant is inner_map_meta which is used
as reg-&gt;map_ptr in the verifier. This is simply a bug waiting to happen,
as in verifier context we cannot easily distinguish if PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE
is coming from an inner map, and if we ever end up using field_offs for
any reason in the future, we will silently ignore the special fields for
inner map case (as NULL is not an error but unset field_offs).

Hence, simply copy field_offs from inner map together with btf_record.

While at it, refactor code to unwind properly on errors with gotos.

Now that kptr_off_tab has been refactored into btf_record, and can hold
more than one specific field type, accomodate bpf_spin_lock and
bpf_timer as well.

While they don't require any more metadata than offset, having all
special fields in one place allows us to share the same code for
allocated user defined types and handle both map values and these
allocated objects in a similar fashion.

As an optimization, we still keep spin_lock_off and timer_off offsets in
the btf_record structure, just to avoid having to find the btf_field
struct each time their offset is needed. This is mostly needed to
manipulate such objects in a map value at runtime. It's ok to hardcode
just one offset as more than one field is disallowed.

To prepare the BPF verifier to handle special fields in both map values
and program allocated types coming from program BTF, we need to refactor
the kptr_off_tab handling code into something more generic and reusable
across both cases to avoid code duplication.

Later patches also require passing this data to helpers at runtime, so
that they can work on user defined types, initialize them, destruct
them, etc.

The main observation is that both map values and such allocated types
point to a type in program BTF, hence they can be handled similarly. We
can prepare a field metadata table for both cases and store them in
struct bpf_map or struct btf depending on the use case.

Hence, refactor the code into generic btf_record and btf_field member
structs. The btf_record represents the fields of a specific btf_type in
user BTF. The cnt indicates the number of special fields we successfully
recognized, and field_mask is a bitmask of fields that were found, to
enable quick determination of availability of a certain field.

Subsequently, refactor the rest of the code to work with these generic
types, remove assumptions about kptr and kptr_off_tab, rename variables
to more meaningful names, etc.

<id>61df10c7799e27807ad5e459eec9d77cddf8bf45</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit introduces a new pointer type 'kptr' which can be embedded
in a map value to hold a PTR_TO_BTF_ID stored by a BPF program during
its invocation. When storing such a kptr, BPF program's PTR_TO_BTF_ID
register must have the same type as in the map value's BTF, and loading
a kptr marks the destination register as PTR_TO_BTF_ID with the correct
kernel BTF and BTF ID.

Such kptr are unreferenced, i.e. by the time another invocation of the
BPF program loads this pointer, the object which the pointer points to
may not longer exist. Since PTR_TO_BTF_ID loads (using BPF_LDX) are
patched to PROBE_MEM loads by the verifier, it would safe to allow user
to still access such invalid pointer, but passing such pointers into
BPF helpers and kfuncs should not be permitted. A future patch in this
series will close this gap.

The flexibility offered by allowing programs to dereference such invalid
pointers while being safe at runtime frees the verifier from doing
complex lifetime tracking. As long as the user may ensure that the
object remains valid, it can ensure data read by it from the kernel
object is valid.

The user indicates that a certain pointer must be treated as kptr
capable of accepting stores of PTR_TO_BTF_ID of a certain type, by using
a BTF type tag 'kptr' on the pointed to type of the pointer. Then, this
information is recorded in the object BTF which will be passed into the
kernel by way of map's BTF information. The name and kind from the map
value BTF is used to look up the in-kernel type, and the actual BTF and
BTF ID is recorded in the map struct in a new kptr_off_tab member. For
now, only storing pointers to structs is permitted.

An example of this specification is shown below:

	#define __kptr __attribute__((btf_type_tag("kptr")))

	struct map_value {
		...
		struct task_struct __kptr *task;
		...
	};

Then, in a BPF program, user may store PTR_TO_BTF_ID with the type
task_struct into the map, and then load it later.

Note that the destination register is marked PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL, as
the verifier cannot know whether the value is NULL or not statically, it
must treat all potential loads at that map value offset as loading a
possibly NULL pointer.

Only BPF_LDX, BPF_STX, and BPF_ST (with insn-&gt;imm = 0 to denote NULL)
are allowed instructions that can access such a pointer. On BPF_LDX, the
destination register is updated to be a PTR_TO_BTF_ID, and on BPF_STX,
it is checked whether the source register type is a PTR_TO_BTF_ID with
same BTF type as specified in the map BTF. The access size must always
be BPF_DW.

For the map in map support, the kptr_off_tab for outer map is copied
from the inner map's kptr_off_tab. It was chosen to do a deep copy
instead of introducing a refcount to kptr_off_tab, because the copy only
needs to be done when paramterizing using inner_map_fd in the map in map
case, hence would be unnecessary for all other users.

It is not permitted to use MAP_FREEZE command and mmap for BPF map
having kptrs, similar to the bpf_timer case. A kptr also requires that
BPF program has both read and write access to the map (hence both
BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG and BPF_F_WRONLY_PROG are disallowed).

Note that check_map_access must be called from both
check_helper_mem_access and for the BPF instructions, hence the kptr
check must distinguish between ACCESS_DIRECT and ACCESS_HELPER, and
reject ACCESS_HELPER cases. We rename stack_access_src to bpf_access_src
and reuse it for this purpose.

and reuse it for this purpose.

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, ...);

<title>bpf: Add map side support for bpf timers.</title>

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'.

<title>bpf: Relax max_entries check for most of the inner map types</title>

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
implement its own map_meta_equal() to enforce max_entries.
Since there are only two cases now, the max_entries check
is not refactored and stays in its own .c file.
