Introduce task_vma bpf_iter to print memory information of a process. It
can be used to print customized information similar to /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps.

Current /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps and /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/smaps provide information of
vma's of a process. However, these information are not flexible enough to
cover all use cases. For example, if a vma cover mixed 2MB pages and 4kB
pages (x86_64), there is no easy way to tell which address ranges are
backed by 2MB pages. task_vma solves the problem by enabling the user to
generate customize information based on the vma (and vma-&gt;vm_mm,
vma-&gt;vm_file, etc.).

To access the vma safely in the BPF program, task_vma iterator holds
target mmap_lock while calling the BPF program. If the mmap_lock is
contended, task_vma unlocks mmap_lock between iterations to unblock the
writer(s). This lock contention avoidance mechanism is similar to the one
used in show_smaps_rollup().

Latest bpf tree has a bug for bpf_iter selftest:

  $ ./test_progs -n 4/25
  test_bpf_sk_storage_get:PASS:bpf_iter_bpf_sk_storage_helpers__open_and_load 0 nsec
  test_bpf_sk_storage_get:PASS:socket 0 nsec
  ...
  do_dummy_read:PASS:read 0 nsec
  test_bpf_sk_storage_get:FAIL:bpf_map_lookup_elem map value wasn't set correctly
                          (expected 1792, got -1, err=0)
  #4/25 bpf_sk_storage_get:FAIL
  #4 bpf_iter:FAIL
  Summary: 0/0 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 2 FAILED

When doing merge conflict resolution, Commit 4bfc4714849d missed to
save curr_task to seq_file private data. The task pointer in seq_file
private data is passed to bpf program. This caused NULL-pointer task
passed to bpf program which will immediately return upon checking
whether task pointer is NULL.

This patch added back the assignment of curr_task to seq_file private
data and fixed the issue.

====================
pull-request: bpf 2020-12-28

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.

There is a small merge conflict between bpf tree commit 69ca310f3416
("bpf: Save correct stopping point in file seq iteration") and net tree
commit 66ed594409a1 ("bpf/task_iter: In task_file_seq_get_next use
task_lookup_next_fd_rcu"). The get_files_struct() does not exist anymore
in net, so take the hunk in HEAD and add the `info-&gt;tid = curr_tid` to
the error path:

  [...]
                curr_task = task_seq_get_next(ns, &amp;curr_tid, true);
                if (!curr_task) {
                        info-&gt;task = NULL;
                        info-&gt;tid = curr_tid;
                        return NULL;
                }

                /* set info-&gt;task and info-&gt;tid */
  [...]

We've added 10 non-merge commits during the last 9 day(s) which contain
a total of 11 files changed, 75 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Various AF_XDP fixes such as fill/completion ring leak on failed bind and
   fixing a race in skb mode's backpressure mechanism, from Magnus Karlsson.

2) Fix latency spikes on lockdep enabled kernels by adding a rescheduling
   point to BPF hashtab initialization, from Eric Dumazet.

3) Fix a splat in task iterator by saving the correct stopping point in the
   seq file iteration, from Jonathan Lemon.

4) Fix BPF maps selftest by adding retries in case hashtab returns EBUSY
   errors on update/deletes, from Andrii Nakryiko.

5) Fix BPF selftest error reporting to something more user friendly if the
   vmlinux BTF cannot be found, from Kamal Mostafa.

Instead of directly comparing task-&gt;tgid and task-&gt;pid, use the
thread_group_leader() helper.  This helps with readability, and
there should be no functional change.

If unable to obtain the file structure for the current task,
proceed to the next task number after the one returned from
task_seq_get_next(), instead of the next task number from the
original iterator.

Also, save the stopping task number from task_seq_get_next()
on failure in case of restarts.

If unable to obtain the file structure for the current task,
proceed to the next task number after the one returned from
task_seq_get_next(), instead of the next task number from the
original iterator.

Also, save the stopping task number from task_seq_get_next()
on failure in case of restarts.

When discussing[1] exec and posix file locks it was realized that none
of the callers of get_files_struct fundamentally needed to call
get_files_struct, and that by switching them to helper functions
instead it will both simplify their code and remove unnecessary
increments of files_struct.count.  Those unnecessary increments can
result in exec unnecessarily unsharing files_struct which breaking
posix locks, and it can result in fget_light having to fallback to
fget reducing system performance.

Using task_lookup_next_fd_rcu simplifies task_file_seq_get_next, by
moving the checking for the maximum file descritor into the generic
code, and by remvoing the need for capturing and releasing a reference
on files_struct.  As the reference count of files_struct no longer
needs to be maintained bpf_iter_seq_task_file_info can have it's files
member removed and task_file_seq_get_next no longer needs it's fstruct
argument.

The curr_fd local variable does need to become unsigned to be used
with fnext_task.  As curr_fd is assigned from and assigned a u32
making curr_fd an unsigned int won't cause problems and might prevent
them.

This change renames fcheck_files to files_lookup_fd_rcu.  All of the
remaining callers take the rcu_read_lock before calling this function
so the _rcu suffix is appropriate.  This change also tightens up the
debug check to verify that all callers hold the rcu_read_lock.

All callers that used to call files_check with the files-&gt;file_lock
held have now been changed to call files_lookup_fd_locked.

This change of name has helped remind me of which locks and which
guarantees are in place helping me to catch bugs later in the
patchset.

The need for better names became apparent in the last round of
discussion of this set of changes[1].

The fix is to limit the number of bpf program runs to be
one million. This fixed the program in most cases. But
we also found under heavy load, which can increase the wallclock
time for bpf_seq_read(), the warning may still be possible.

For example, calling bpf_delay() in the "while" loop of
bpf_seq_read(), which will introduce artificial delay,
the warning will show up in my qemu run.

  static unsigned q;
  volatile unsigned *p = &amp;q;
  volatile unsigned long long ll;
  static void bpf_delay(void)
  {
         int i, j;

         for (i = 0; i &lt; 10000; i++)
                 for (j = 0; j &lt; 10000; j++)
                         ll += *p;
  }

There are two ways to fix this issue. One is to reduce the above
one million threshold to say 100,000 and hopefully rcu warning will
not show up any more. Another is to introduce a target feature
which enables bpf_seq_read() calling cond_resched().

This patch took second approach as the first approach may cause
more -EAGAIN failures for read() syscalls. Note that not all bpf_iter
targets can permit cond_resched() in bpf_seq_read() as some, e.g.,
netlink seq iterator, rcu read lock critical section spans through
seq_ops-&gt;next() -&gt; seq_ops-&gt;show() -&gt; seq_ops-&gt;next().

For the kernel code with the above hack, "bpftool p" roughly takes
38 seconds to finish on my VM with 184 bpf program runs.
Using the following command, I am able to collect the number of
context switches:
   perf stat -e context-switches -- ./bpftool p &gt;&amp; log
Without this patch,
   69      context-switches
With this patch,
   75      context-switches
This patch added additional 6 context switches, roughly every 6 seconds
to reschedule, to avoid lengthy no-rescheduling which may cause the
above RCU warnings.

The fix is to limit the number of bpf program runs to be
one million. This fixed the program in most cases. But
we also found under heavy load, which can increase the wallclock
time for bpf_seq_read(), the warning may still be possible.

For example, calling bpf_delay() in the "while" loop of
bpf_seq_read(), which will introduce artificial delay,
the warning will show up in my qemu run.

  static unsigned q;
  volatile unsigned *p = &amp;q;
  volatile unsigned long long ll;
  static void bpf_delay(void)
  {
         int i, j;

         for (i = 0; i &lt; 10000; i++)
                 for (j = 0; j &lt; 10000; j++)
                         ll += *p;
  }

There are two ways to fix this issue. One is to reduce the above
one million threshold to say 100,000 and hopefully rcu warning will
not show up any more. Another is to introduce a target feature
which enables bpf_seq_read() calling cond_resched().

This patch took second approach as the first approach may cause
more -EAGAIN failures for read() syscalls. Note that not all bpf_iter
targets can permit cond_resched() in bpf_seq_read() as some, e.g.,
netlink seq iterator, rcu read lock critical section spans through
seq_ops-&gt;next() -&gt; seq_ops-&gt;show() -&gt; seq_ops-&gt;next().

For the kernel code with the above hack, "bpftool p" roughly takes
38 seconds to finish on my VM with 184 bpf program runs.
Using the following command, I am able to collect the number of
context switches:
   perf stat -e context-switches -- ./bpftool p &gt;&amp; log
Without this patch,
   69      context-switches
With this patch,
   75      context-switches
This patch added additional 6 context switches, roughly every 6 seconds
to reschedule, to avoid lengthy no-rescheduling which may cause the
above RCU warnings.
