<content type='text'>
Add enforcement of expected types for context arguments tagged with
arg:ctx (__arg_ctx) tag.

First, any program type will accept generic `void *` context type when
combined with __arg_ctx tag.

Besides accepting "canonical" struct names and `void *`, for a bunch of
program types for which program context is actually a named struct, we
allows a bunch of pragmatic exceptions to match real-world and expected
usage:

  - for both kprobes and perf_event we allow `bpf_user_pt_regs_t *` as
    canonical context argument type, where `bpf_user_pt_regs_t` is a
    *typedef*, not a struct;
  - for kprobes, we also always accept `struct pt_regs *`, as that's what
    actually is passed as a context to any kprobe program;
  - for perf_event, we resolve typedefs (unless it's `bpf_user_pt_regs_t`)
    down to actual struct type and accept `struct pt_regs *`, or
    `struct user_pt_regs *`, or `struct user_regs_struct *`, depending
    on the actual struct type kernel architecture points `bpf_user_pt_regs_t`
    typedef to; otherwise, canonical `struct bpf_perf_event_data *` is
    expected;
  - for raw_tp/raw_tp.w programs, `u64/long *` are accepted, as that's
    what's expected with BPF_PROG() usage; otherwise, canonical
    `struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args *` is expected;
  - tp_btf supports both `struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args *` and `u64 *`
    formats, both are coded as expections as tp_btf is actually a TRACING
    program type, which has no canonical context type;
  - iterator programs accept `struct bpf_iter__xxx *` structs, currently
    with no further iterator-type specific enforcement;
  - fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm/struct_ops all accept `u64 *`;
  - classic tracepoint programs, as well as syscall and freplace
    programs allow any user-provided type.

In all other cases kernel will enforce exact match of struct name to
expected canonical type. And if user-provided type doesn't match that
expectation, verifier will emit helpful message with expected type name.

Note a bit unnatural way the check is done after processing all the
arguments. This is done to avoid conflict between bpf and bpf-next
trees. Once trees converge, a small follow up patch will place a simple
btf_validate_prog_ctx_type() check into a proper ARG_PTR_TO_CTX branch
(which bpf-next tree patch refactored already), removing duplicated
arg:ctx detection logic.

<title>bpf: extract bpf_ctx_convert_map logic and make it more reusable</title>

<content type='text'>
Refactor btf_get_prog_ctx_type() a bit to allow reuse of
bpf_ctx_convert_map logic in more than one places. Simplify interface by
returning btf_type instead of btf_member (field reference in BTF).

To do the above we need to touch and start untangling
btf_translate_to_vmlinux() implementation. We do the bare minimum to
not regress anything for btf_translate_to_vmlinux(), but its
implementation is very questionable for what it claims to be doing.
Mapping kfunc argument types to kernel corresponding types conceptually
is quite different from recognizing program context types. Fixing this
is out of scope for this change though.

<content type='text'>
For PTR_TO_FLOW_KEYS, check_flow_keys_access() only uses fixed off
for validation. However, variable offset ptr alu is not prohibited
for this ptr kind. So the variable offset is not checked.

The following prog is accepted:

  func#0 @0
  0: R1=ctx() R10=fp0
  0: (bf) r6 = r1                       ; R1=ctx() R6_w=ctx()
  1: (79) r7 = *(u64 *)(r6 +144)        ; R6_w=ctx() R7_w=flow_keys()
  2: (b7) r8 = 1024                     ; R8_w=1024
  3: (37) r8 /= 1                       ; R8_w=scalar()
  4: (57) r8 &amp;= 1024                    ; R8_w=scalar(smin=smin32=0,
  smax=umax=smax32=umax32=1024,var_off=(0x0; 0x400))
  5: (0f) r7 += r8
  mark_precise: frame0: last_idx 5 first_idx 0 subseq_idx -1
  mark_precise: frame0: regs=r8 stack= before 4: (57) r8 &amp;= 1024
  mark_precise: frame0: regs=r8 stack= before 3: (37) r8 /= 1
  mark_precise: frame0: regs=r8 stack= before 2: (b7) r8 = 1024
  6: R7_w=flow_keys(smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=1024,var_off
  =(0x0; 0x400)) R8_w=scalar(smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=1024,
  var_off=(0x0; 0x400))
  6: (79) r0 = *(u64 *)(r7 +0)          ; R0_w=scalar()
  7: (95) exit

This prog loads flow_keys to r7, and adds the variable offset r8
to r7, and finally causes out-of-bounds access:

Fix this by rejecting ptr alu with variable offset on flow_keys.
Applying the patch rejects the program with "R7 pointer arithmetic

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs
  reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around
  self-tests.

  Core &amp; protocols:

   - Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
     netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build
     time warnings to safeguard against future header changes

     This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up
     to 40%

   - Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory
     usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and
     possible leaks

   - Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
     source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This
     lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active
     connections to the same destination

   - Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
     structs

   - Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow
     arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF

   - Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to
     128KB and namespecifying it

   - Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
     RX performances with some common configurations

   - Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time

   - Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
     request the deletion of matching entries

   - Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
     datapath first

   - Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
     multicast-like behavior at the TC layer

   - Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
     classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)

   - More data-race annotations

   - Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets

   - Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions

   - Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
     a sub-network using a specific PAN ID

   - Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support

   - Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type

  BPF:

   - Tons of verifier improvements:
       - BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
         test suite
       - log improvements
       - complete precision tracking support for register spills
       - track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
         This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from
         single digit to 50-60% for some programs
       - support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
         commonly requested annotations for a better developer
         experience
       - support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
         transforms (unsigned) "a &gt; 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
         like
       - several fixes

   - Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
     mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
     now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload

   - Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
     kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
     BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y

   - Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
     instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
     guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques

   - Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs

   - Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
     within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is
     identified by its id

   - Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value
     field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in
     sched_ext

   - Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
     integration for the latter

   - Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints

   - Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is
     developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)

  Misc:

   - Support for parellel TC self-tests execution

   - Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage

   - Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
     undocumented features

   - Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid
     random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs

   - Add TCP-AO self-tests

   - Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211

   - Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec

   - Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool
     can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for
     which we have specs

   - A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes

   - Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool

  Driver API:

   - Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
     full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
     in rust

   - Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
     allowing complete access to the device &lt;&gt; NAPIs &lt;&gt; queues
     relationship

   - Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
     application scale to thousands of instances

   - Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
     each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host

   - Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash

   - ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
     platform

   - Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic
     netlink attribute

   - Convert older drivers to platform remove callback returning void

   - Add support for PHY package MMD read/write

  New hardware / drivers:

   - Ethernet:
       - Octeon CN10K devices
       - Broadcom 5760X P7
       - Qualcomm SM8550 SoC
       - Texas Instrument DP83TG720S PHY

   - Bluetooth:
       - IMC Networks Bluetooth radio

  Removed:

   - WiFi:
       - libertas 16-bit PCMCIA support
       - Atmel at76c50x drivers

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs
  reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around
  self-tests.

  Core &amp; protocols:

   - Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
     netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build
     time warnings to safeguard against future header changes

     This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up
     to 40%

   - Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory
     usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and
     possible leaks

   - Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
     source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This
     lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active
     connections to the same destination

   - Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
     structs

   - Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow
     arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF

   - Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to
     128KB and namespecifying it

   - Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
     RX performances with some common configurations

   - Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time

   - Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
     request the deletion of matching entries

   - Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
     datapath first

   - Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
     multicast-like behavior at the TC layer

   - Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
     classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)

   - More data-race annotations

   - Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets

   - Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions

   - Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
     a sub-network using a specific PAN ID

   - Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support

   - Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type

  BPF:

   - Tons of verifier improvements:
       - BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
         test suite
       - log improvements
       - complete precision tracking support for register spills
       - track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
         This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from
         single digit to 50-60% for some programs
       - support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
         commonly requested annotations for a better developer
         experience
       - support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
         transforms (unsigned) "a &gt; 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
         like
       - several fixes

   - Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
     mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
     now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload

   - Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
     kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
     BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y

   - Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
     instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
     guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques

   - Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs

   - Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
     within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is
     identified by its id

   - Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value
     field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in
     sched_ext

   - Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
     integration for the latter

   - Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints

   - Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is
     developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)

  Misc:

   - Support for parellel TC self-tests execution

   - Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage

   - Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
     undocumented features

   - Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid
     random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs

   - Add TCP-AO self-tests

   - Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211

   - Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec

   - Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool
     can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for
     which we have specs

   - A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes

   - Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool

  Driver API:

   - Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
     full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
     in rust

   - Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
     allowing complete access to the device &lt;&gt; NAPIs &lt;&gt; queues
     relationship

   - Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
     application scale to thousands of instances

   - Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
     each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host

   - Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash

   - ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
     platform

   - Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic
     netlink attribute

   - Convert older drivers to platform remove callback returning void

   - Add support for PHY package MMD read/write

   - Ethernet:
       - Octeon CN10K devices
       - Broadcom 5760X P7
       - Qualcomm SM8550 SoC

<title>bpf: Relax tracing prog recursive attach rules</title>

<id>19bfcdf9498aa968ea293417fbbc39e523527ca8</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, it's not allowed to attach an fentry/fexit prog to another
one fentry/fexit. At the same time it's not uncommon to see a tracing
program with lots of logic in use, and the attachment limitation
prevents usage of fentry/fexit for performance analysis (e.g. with
"bpftool prog profile" command) in this case. An example could be
falcosecurity libs project that uses tp_btf tracing programs.

Following the corresponding discussion [1], the reason for that is to
avoid tracing progs call cycles without introducing more complex
solutions. But currently it seems impossible to load and attach tracing
programs in a way that will form such a cycle. The limitation is coming
from the fact that attach_prog_fd is specified at the prog load (thus
making it impossible to attach to a program loaded after it in this
way), as well as tracing progs not implementing link_detach.

Replace "no same type" requirement with verification that no more than
one level of attachment nesting is allowed. In this way only one
fentry/fexit program could be attached to another fentry/fexit to cover
profiling use case, and still no cycle could be formed. To implement,
add a new field into bpf_prog_aux to track nested attachment for tracing
programs.

Currently, it's not allowed to attach an fentry/fexit prog to another
one fentry/fexit. At the same time it's not uncommon to see a tracing
program with lots of logic in use, and the attachment limitation
prevents usage of fentry/fexit for performance analysis (e.g. with
"bpftool prog profile" command) in this case. An example could be
falcosecurity libs project that uses tp_btf tracing programs.

Following the corresponding discussion [1], the reason for that is to
avoid tracing progs call cycles without introducing more complex
solutions. But currently it seems impossible to load and attach tracing
programs in a way that will form such a cycle. The limitation is coming
from the fact that attach_prog_fd is specified at the prog load (thus
making it impossible to attach to a program loaded after it in this
way), as well as tracing progs not implementing link_detach.

Replace "no same type" requirement with verification that no more than
one level of attachment nesting is allowed. In this way only one
fentry/fexit program could be attached to another fentry/fexit to cover
profiling use case, and still no cycle could be formed. To implement,
add a new field into bpf_prog_aux to track nested attachment for tracing
programs.

<title>bpf: Remove unnecessary cpu == 0 check in memalloc</title>

After merging the patch set [1] to reduce memory usage
for bpf_global_percpu_ma, Alexei found a redundant check (cpu == 0)
in function bpf_mem_alloc_percpu_unit_init() ([2]).
Indeed, the check is unnecessary since c-&gt;unit_size will
be all NULL or all non-NULL for all cpus before
for_each_possible_cpu() loop.
Removing the check makes code less confusing.

<title>bpf: Limit up to 512 bytes for bpf_global_percpu_ma allocation</title>

For percpu data structure allocation with bpf_global_percpu_ma,
the maximum data size is 4K. But for a system with large
number of cpus, bigger data size (e.g., 2K, 4K) might consume
a lot of memory. For example, the percpu memory consumption
with unit size 2K and 1024 cpus will be 2K * 1K * 1k = 2GB
memory.

We should discourage such usage. Let us limit the maximum data
size to be 512 for bpf_global_percpu_ma allocation.

<title>bpf: Use smaller low/high marks for percpu allocation</title>

Currently, refill low/high marks are set with the assumption
of normal non-percpu memory allocation. For example, for
an allocation size 256, for non-percpu memory allocation,
low mark is 32 and high mark is 96, resulting in the
batch allocation of 48 elements and the allocated memory
will be 48 * 256 = 12KB for this particular cpu.
Assuming an 128-cpu system, the total memory consumption
across all cpus will be 12K * 128 = 1.5MB memory.

This might be okay for non-percpu allocation, but may not be
good for percpu allocation, which will consume 1.5MB * 128 = 192MB
memory in the worst case if every cpu has a chance of memory
allocation.

In practice, percpu allocation is very rare compared to
non-percpu allocation. So let us have smaller low/high marks
which can avoid unnecessary memory consumption.

Typically for percpu map element or data structure, once allocated,
most operations are lookup or in-place update. Deletion are really
rare. Currently, for percpu data strcture, 4 elements will be
refilled if the size is &lt;= 256. Let us just do with one element
for percpu data. For example, for size 256 and 128 cpus, the
potential saving will be 3 * 256 * 128 * 128 = 12MB.
