The prandom_u32() function has been a deprecated inline wrapper around
get_random_u32() for several releases now, and compiles down to the
exact same code. Replace the deprecated wrapper with a direct call to
the real function. The same also applies to get_random_int(), which is
just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). This was done as a basic find
and replace.

Allow dynamic pointers (struct bpf_dynptr_kern *) to be specified as
parameters in kfuncs. Also, ensure that dynamic pointers passed as argument
are valid and initialized, are a pointer to the stack, and of the type
local. More dynamic pointer types can be supported in the future.

To properly detect whether a parameter is of the desired type, introduce
the stringify_struct() macro to compare the returned structure name with
the desired name. In addition, protect against structure renames, by
halting the build with BUILD_BUG_ON(), so that developers have to revisit
the code.

To check if a dynamic pointer passed to the kfunc is valid and initialized,
and if its type is local, export the existing functions
is_dynptr_reg_valid_init() and is_dynptr_type_expected().

Move dynptr type check to is_dynptr_type_expected() from
is_dynptr_reg_valid_init(), so that callers can better determine the cause
of a negative result (dynamic pointer not valid/initialized, dynamic
pointer of the wrong type). It will be useful for example for BTF, to
restrict which dynamic pointer types can be passed to kfuncs, as initially
only the local type will be supported.

Also, splitting makes the code more readable, since checking the dynamic
pointer type is not necessarily related to validity and initialization.

Split the validity/initialization and dynamic pointer type check also in
the verifier, and adjust the expected error message in the test (a test for
an unexpected dynptr type passed to a helper cannot be added due to missing
suitable helpers, but this case has been tested manually).

<title>bpf: Add bpf_user_ringbuf_drain() helper</title>

<id>20571567384428dfc9fe5cf9f2e942e1df13c2dd</id>
<content type='text'>
In a prior change, we added a new BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF map type which
will allow user-space applications to publish messages to a ring buffer
that is consumed by a BPF program in kernel-space. In order for this
map-type to be useful, it will require a BPF helper function that BPF
programs can invoke to drain samples from the ring buffer, and invoke
callbacks on those samples. This change adds that capability via a new BPF
helper function:

bpf_user_ringbuf_drain(struct bpf_map *map, void *callback_fn, void *ctx,
                       u64 flags)

BPF programs may invoke this function to run callback_fn() on a series of
samples in the ring buffer. callback_fn() has the following signature:

long callback_fn(struct bpf_dynptr *dynptr, void *context);

Samples are provided to the callback in the form of struct bpf_dynptr *'s,
which the program can read using BPF helper functions for querying
struct bpf_dynptr's.

In order to support bpf_ringbuf_drain(), a new PTR_TO_DYNPTR register
type is added to the verifier to reflect a dynptr that was allocated by
a helper function and passed to a BPF program. Unlike PTR_TO_STACK
dynptrs which are allocated on the stack by a BPF program, PTR_TO_DYNPTR
dynptrs need not use reference tracking, as the BPF helper is trusted to
properly free the dynptr before returning. The verifier currently only
supports PTR_TO_DYNPTR registers that are also DYNPTR_TYPE_LOCAL.

Note that while the corresponding user-space libbpf logic will be added
in a subsequent patch, this patch does contain an implementation of the
.map_poll() callback for BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF maps. This
.map_poll() callback guarantees that an epoll-waiting user-space
producer will receive at least one event notification whenever at least
one sample is drained in an invocation of bpf_user_ringbuf_drain(),
provided that the function is not invoked with the BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP
flag. If the BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP flag is provided, a wakeup
notification is sent even if no sample was drained.

We want to support a ringbuf map type where samples are published from
user-space, to be consumed by BPF programs. BPF currently supports a
kernel -&gt; user-space circular ring buffer via the BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF
map type.  We'll need to define a new map type for user-space -&gt; kernel,
as none of the helpers exported for BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF will apply
to a user-space producer ring buffer, and we'll want to add one or
more helper functions that would not apply for a kernel-producer
ring buffer.

This patch therefore adds a new BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF map type
definition. The map type is useless in its current form, as there is no
way to access or use it for anything until we one or more BPF helpers. A
follow-on patch will therefore add a new helper function that allows BPF
programs to run callbacks on samples that are published to the ring
buffer.

<title>bpf: Add verifier check for BPF_PTR_POISON retval and arg</title>

<id>47e34cb74d376ddfeaef94abb1d6dfb3c905ee51</id>
<content type='text'>
BPF_PTR_POISON was added in commit c0a5a21c25f37 ("bpf: Allow storing
referenced kptr in map") to denote a bpf_func_proto btf_id which the
verifier will replace with a dynamically-determined btf_id at verification
time.

This patch adds verifier 'poison' functionality to BPF_PTR_POISON in
order to prepare for expanded use of the value to poison ret- and
arg-btf_id in ongoing work, namely rbtree and linked list patchsets
[0, 1]. Specifically, when the verifier checks helper calls, it assumes
that BPF_PTR_POISON'ed ret type will be replaced with a valid type before
- or in lieu of - the default ret_btf_id logic. Similarly for arg btf_id.

If poisoned btf_id reaches default handling block for either, consider
this a verifier internal error and fail verification. Otherwise a helper
w/ poisoned btf_id but no verifier logic replacing the type will cause a
crash as the invalid pointer is dereferenced.

Also move BPF_PTR_POISON to existing include/linux/posion.h header and
remove unnecessary shift.

<title>bpf: Add verifier support for custom callback return range</title>

<id>1bfe26fb082724be453e4d7fd9bb358e3ba669b2</id>
<content type='text'>
Verifier logic to confirm that a callback function returns 0 or 1 was
added in commit 69c087ba6225b ("bpf: Add bpf_for_each_map_elem() helper").
At the time, callback return value was only used to continue or stop
iteration.

In order to support callbacks with a broader return value range, such as
those added in rbtree series[0] and others, add a callback_ret_range to
bpf_func_state. Verifier's helpers which set in_callback_fn will also
set the new field, which the verifier will later use to check return
value bounds.

Default to tnum_range(0, 0) instead of using tnum_unknown as a sentinel
value as the latter would prevent the valid range (0, U64_MAX) being
used. Previous global default tnum_range(0, 1) is explicitly set for
extant callback helpers. The change to global default was made after
discussion around this patch in rbtree series [1], goal here is to make
it more obvious that callback_ret_range should be explicitly set.

iteration.

In order to support callbacks with a broader return value range, such as
those added in rbtree series[0] and others, add a callback_ret_range to
bpf_func_state. Verifier's helpers which set in_callback_fn will also
set the new field, which the verifier will later use to check return
value bounds.

Default to tnum_range(0, 0) instead of using tnum_unknown as a sentinel
value as the latter would prevent the valid range (0, U64_MAX) being
used. Previous global default tnum_range(0, 1) is explicitly set for
extant callback helpers. The change to global default was made after
discussion around this patch in rbtree series [1], goal here is to make
it more obvious that callback_ret_range should be explicitly set.

<title>bpf: Remove duplicate PTR_TO_BTF_ID RO check</title>

Since commit 27ae7997a661 ("bpf: Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS")
there has existed bpf_verifier_ops:btf_struct_access. When
btf_struct_access is _unset_ for a prog type, the verifier runs the
default implementation, which is to enforce read only:

        if (env-&gt;ops-&gt;btf_struct_access) {
                [...]
        } else {
                if (atype != BPF_READ) {
                        verbose(env, "only read is supported\n");
                        return -EACCES;
                }

                [...]
        }

When btf_struct_access is _set_, the expectation is that
btf_struct_access has full control over accesses, including if writes
are allowed.

Rather than carve out an exception for each prog type that may write to
BTF ptrs, delete the redundant check and give full control to
btf_struct_access.

<title>bpf: Add helper macro bpf_for_each_reg_in_vstate</title>

For a lot of use cases in future patches, we will want to modify the
state of registers part of some same 'group' (e.g. same ref_obj_id). It
won't just be limited to releasing reference state, but setting a type
flag dynamically based on certain actions, etc.

Hence, we need a way to easily pass a callback to the function that
iterates over all registers in current bpf_verifier_state in all frames
upto (and including) the curframe.

While in C++ we would be able to easily use a lambda to pass state and
the callback together, sadly we aren't using C++ in the kernel. The next
best thing to avoid defining a function for each case seems like
statement expressions in GNU C. The kernel already uses them heavily,
hence they can passed to the macro in the style of a lambda. The
statement expression will then be substituted in the for loop bodies.

Variables __state and __reg are set to current bpf_func_state and reg
for each invocation of the expression inside the passed in verifier
state.

Then, convert mark_ptr_or_null_regs, clear_all_pkt_pointers,
release_reference, find_good_pkt_pointers, find_equal_scalars to
use bpf_for_each_reg_in_vstate.
