<id>urn:sha1:353050be4c19e102178ccc05988101887c25ae53</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit a23740ec43ba ("bpf: Track contents of read-only maps as scalars") is
checking whether maps are read-only both from BPF program side and user space
side, and then, given their content is constant, reading out their data via
map-&gt;ops-&gt;map_direct_value_addr() which is then subsequently used as known
scalar value for the register, that is, it is marked as __mark_reg_known()
with the read value at verification time. Before a23740ec43ba, the register
content was marked as an unknown scalar so the verifier could not make any
assumptions about the map content.

The current implementation however is prone to a TOCTOU race, meaning, the
value read as known scalar for the register is not guaranteed to be exactly
the same at a later point when the program is executed, and as such, the
prior made assumptions of the verifier with regards to the program will be
invalid which can cause issues such as OOB access, etc.

While the BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG map flag is always fixed and required to be
specified at map creation time, the map-&gt;frozen property is initially set to
false for the map given the map value needs to be populated, e.g. for global
data sections. Once complete, the loader "freezes" the map from user space
such that no subsequent updates/deletes are possible anymore. For the rest
of the lifetime of the map, this freeze one-time trigger cannot be undone
anymore after a successful BPF_MAP_FREEZE cmd return. Meaning, any new BPF_*
cmd calls which would update/delete map entries will be rejected with -EPERM
since map_get_sys_perms() removes the FMODE_CAN_WRITE permission. This also
means that pending update/delete map entries must still complete before this
guarantee is given. This corner case is not an issue for loaders since they
create and prepare such program private map in successive steps.

However, a malicious user is able to trigger this TOCTOU race in two different
ways: i) via userfaultfd, and ii) via batched updates. For i) userfaultfd is
used to expand the competition interval, so that map_update_elem() can modify
the contents of the map after map_freeze() and bpf_prog_load() were executed.
This works, because userfaultfd halts the parallel thread which triggered a
map_update_elem() at the time where we copy key/value from the user buffer and
this already passed the FMODE_CAN_WRITE capability test given at that time the
map was not "frozen". Then, the main thread performs the map_freeze() and
bpf_prog_load(), and once that had completed successfully, the other thread
is woken up to complete the pending map_update_elem() which then changes the
map content. For ii) the idea of the batched update is similar, meaning, when
there are a large number of updates to be processed, it can increase the
competition interval between the two. It is therefore possible in practice to
modify the contents of the map after executing map_freeze() and bpf_prog_load().

One way to fix both i) and ii) at the same time is to expand the use of the
map's map-&gt;writecnt. The latter was introduced in fc9702273e2e ("bpf: Add mmap()
support for BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY") and further refined in 1f6cb19be2e2 ("bpf:
Prevent re-mmap()'ing BPF map as writable for initially r/o mapping") with
the rationale to make a writable mmap()'ing of a map mutually exclusive with
read-only freezing. The counter indicates writable mmap() mappings and then
prevents/fails the freeze operation. Its semantics can be expanded beyond
just mmap() by generally indicating ongoing write phases. This would essentially
span any parallel regular and batched flavor of update/delete operation and
then also have map_freeze() fail with -EBUSY. For the check_mem_access() in
the verifier we expand upon the bpf_map_is_rdonly() check ensuring that all
last pending writes have completed via bpf_map_write_active() test. Once the
map-&gt;frozen is set and bpf_map_write_active() indicates a map-&gt;writecnt of 0
only then we are really guaranteed to use the map's data as known constants.
For map-&gt;frozen being set and pending writes in process of still being completed
we fall back to marking that register as unknown scalar so we don't end up
making assumptions about it. With this, both TOCTOU reproducers from i) and
ii) are fixed.

Note that the map-&gt;writecnt has been converted into a atomic64 in the fix in
order to avoid a double freeze_mutex mutex_{un,}lock() pair when updating
map-&gt;writecnt in the various map update/delete BPF_* cmd flavors. Spanning
the freeze_mutex over entire map update/delete operations in syscall side
would not be possible due to then causing everything to be serialized.
Similarly, something like synchronize_rcu() after setting map-&gt;frozen to wait
for update/deletes to complete is not possible either since it would also
have to span the user copy which can sleep. On the libbpf side, this won't
break d66562fba1ce ("libbpf: Add BPF object skeleton support") as the
anonymous mmap()-ed "map initialization image" is remapped as a BPF map-backed
mmap()-ed memory where for .rodata it's non-writable.

<id>urn:sha1:9330986c03006ab1d33d243b7cfe598a7a3c1baa</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds the kernel-side changes for the implementation of
a bpf bloom filter map.

The bloom filter map supports peek (determining whether an element
is present in the map) and push (adding an element to the map)
operations.These operations are exposed to userspace applications
through the already existing syscalls in the following way:

BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM -&gt; peek
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM -&gt; push

The bloom filter map does not have keys, only values. In light of
this, the bloom filter map's API matches that of queue stack maps:
user applications use BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM/BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM
which correspond internally to bpf_map_peek_elem/bpf_map_push_elem,
and bpf programs must use the bpf_map_peek_elem and bpf_map_push_elem
APIs to query or add an element to the bloom filter map. When the
bloom filter map is created, it must be created with a key_size of 0.

For updates, the user will pass in the element to add to the map
as the value, with a NULL key. For lookups, the user will pass in the
element to query in the map as the value, with a NULL key. In the
verifier layer, this requires us to modify the argument type of
a bloom filter's BPF_FUNC_map_peek_elem call to ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE;
as well, in the syscall layer, we need to copy over the user value
so that in bpf_map_peek_elem, we know which specific value to query.

A few things to please take note of:
 * If there are any concurrent lookups + updates, the user is
responsible for synchronizing this to ensure no false negative lookups
occur.
 * The number of hashes to use for the bloom filter is configurable from
userspace. If no number is specified, the default used will be 5 hash
functions. The benchmarks later in this patchset can help compare the
performance of using different number of hashes on different entry
sizes. In general, using more hashes decreases both the false positive
rate and the speed of a lookup.
 * Deleting an element in the bloom filter map is not supported.
 * The bloom filter map may be used as an inner map.
 * The "max_entries" size that is specified at map creation time is used
to approximate a reasonable bitmap size for the bloom filter, and is not
otherwise strictly enforced. If the user wishes to insert more entries
into the bloom filter than "max_entries", they may do so but they should
be aware that this may lead to a higher false positive rate.

Commit 316580b69d0a ("u64_stats: provide u64_stats_t type")
fixed possible load/store tearing on 64bit arches.

For instance the following C code

stats-&gt;nsecs += sched_clock() - start;

Could be rightfully implemented like this by a compiler,
confusing concurrent readers a lot:

stats-&gt;nsecs += sched_clock();
// arbitrary delay
stats-&gt;nsecs -= start;

<title>bpf: Fix potential race in tail call compatibility check</title>

<id>urn:sha1:54713c85f536048e685258f880bf298a74c3620d</id>
<content type='text'>
Lorenzo noticed that the code testing for program type compatibility of
tail call maps is potentially racy in that two threads could encounter a
map with an unset type simultaneously and both return true even though they
are inserting incompatible programs.

The race window is quite small, but artificially enlarging it by adding a
usleep_range() inside the check in bpf_prog_array_compatible() makes it
trivial to trigger from userspace with a program that does, essentially:

        map_fd = bpf_create_map(BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY, 4, 4, 2, 0);
        pid = fork();
        if (pid) {
                key = 0;
                value = xdp_fd;
        } else {
                key = 1;
                value = tc_fd;
        }
        err = bpf_map_update_elem(map_fd, &amp;key, &amp;value, 0);

While the race window is small, it has potentially serious ramifications in
that triggering it would allow a BPF program to tail call to a program of a
different type. So let's get rid of it by protecting the update with a
spinlock. The commit in the Fixes tag is the last commit that touches the
code in question.

v2:
- Use a spinlock instead of an atomic variable and cmpxchg() (Alexei)
v3:
- Put lock and the members it protects into an embedded 'owner' struct (Daniel)

Use kvmalloc/kvfree for temporary value when manipulating a map via
syscall. kmalloc might not be sufficient for percpu maps where the value
is big (and further multiplied by hundreds of CPUs).
