<title>bpf: restore the ebpf program ID for BPF_AUDIT_UNLOAD and PERF_BPF_EVENT_PROG_UNLOAD</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ef01f4e25c1760920e2c94f1c232350277ace69b</id>
<content type='text'>
When changing the ebpf program put() routines to support being called
from within IRQ context the program ID was reset to zero prior to
calling the perf event and audit UNLOAD record generators, which
resulted in problems as the ebpf program ID was bogus (always zero).
This patch addresses this problem by removing an unnecessary call to
bpf_prog_free_id() in __bpf_prog_offload_destroy() and adjusting
__bpf_prog_put() to only call bpf_prog_free_id() after audit and perf
have finished their bpf program unload tasks in
bpf_prog_put_deferred().  For the record, no one can determine, or
remember, why it was necessary to free the program ID, and remove it
from the IDR, prior to executing bpf_prog_put_deferred();
regardless, both Stanislav and Alexei agree that the approach in this
patch should be safe.

It is worth noting that when moving the bpf_prog_free_id() call, the
do_idr_lock parameter was forced to true as the ebpf devs determined
this was the correct as the do_idr_lock should always be true.  The
do_idr_lock parameter will be removed in a follow-up patch, but it
was kept here to keep the patch small in an effort to ease any stable
backports.

I also modified the bpf_audit_prog() logic used to associate the
AUDIT_BPF record with other associated records, e.g. @ctx != NULL.
Instead of keying off the operation, it now keys off the execution
context, e.g. '!in_irg &amp;&amp; !irqs_disabled()', which is much more
appropriate and should help better connect the UNLOAD operations with
the associated audit state (other audit records).

In [0], we added the ability to bpf_prog_attach LSM programs to cgroups,
but in our validation to make sure the prog is meant to be attached to
BPF_LSM_CGROUP, we return too early if the check fails. This results in
lack of decrementing prog's refcnt (through bpf_prog_put)
leaving the LSM program alive past the point of the expected lifecycle.
This fix allows for the decrement to take place.

<title>bpf: Add comments for map BTF matching requirement for bpf_list_head</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

<title>bpf: Verify ownership relationships for user BTF types</title>

Ensure that there can be no ownership cycles among different types by
way of having owning objects that can hold some other type as their
element. For instance, a map value can only hold allocated objects, but
these are allowed to have another bpf_list_head. To prevent unbounded
recursion while freeing resources, elements of bpf_list_head in local
kptrs can never have a bpf_list_head which are part of list in a map
value. Later patches will verify this by having dedicated BTF selftests.

Also, to make runtime destruction easier, once btf_struct_metas is fully
populated, we can stash the metadata of the value type directly in the
metadata of the list_head fields, as that allows easier access to the
value type's layout to destruct it at runtime from the btf_field entry
of the list head itself.

<title>bpf: Recognize lock and list fields in allocated objects</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8ffa5cc142137a59d6a10eb5273fa2ba5dcd4947</id>
<content type='text'>
Allow specifying bpf_spin_lock, bpf_list_head, bpf_list_node fields in a
allocated object.

Also update btf_struct_access to reject direct access to these special
fields.

A bpf_list_head allows implementing map-in-map style use cases, where an
allocated object with bpf_list_head is linked into a list in a map
value. This would require embedding a bpf_list_node, support for which
is also included. The bpf_spin_lock is used to protect the bpf_list_head
and other data.

While we strictly don't require to hold a bpf_spin_lock while touching
the bpf_list_head in such objects, as when have access to it, we have
complete ownership of the object, the locking constraint is still kept
and may be conditionally lifted in the future.

Note that the specification of such types can be done just like map
values, e.g.:

struct bar {
	struct bpf_list_node node;
};

struct foo {
	struct bpf_spin_lock lock;
	struct bpf_list_head head __contains(bar, node);
	struct bpf_list_node node;
};

struct map_value {
	struct bpf_spin_lock lock;
	struct bpf_list_head head __contains(foo, node);
};

To recognize such types in user BTF, we build a btf_struct_metas array
of metadata items corresponding to each BTF ID. This is done once during
the btf_parse stage to avoid having to do it each time during the
verification process's requirement to inspect the metadata.

Moreover, the computed metadata needs to be passed to some helpers in
future patches which requires allocating them and storing them in the
BTF that is pinned by the program itself, so that valid access can be
assumed to such data during program runtime.

A key thing to note is that once a btf_struct_meta is available for a
type, both the btf_record and btf_field_offs should be available. It is
critical that btf_field_offs is available in case special fields are
present, as we extensively rely on special fields being zeroed out in
map values and allocated objects in later patches. The code ensures that
by bailing out in case of errors and ensuring both are available
together. If the record is not available, the special fields won't be
recognized, so not having both is also fine (in terms of being a
verification error and not a runtime bug).

<title>bpf: Do btf_record_free outside map_free callback</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d7f5ef653c3dd0c0d649cae6ef2708053bb1fb2b</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the commit being fixed, we now miss freeing btf_record for local
storage maps which will have a btf_record populated in case they have
bpf_spin_lock element.

This was missed because I made the choice of offloading the job to free
kptr_off_tab (now btf_record) to the map_free callback when adding
support for kptrs.

Revisiting the reason for this decision, there is the possibility that
the btf_record gets used inside map_free callback (e.g. in case of maps
embedding kptrs) to iterate over them and free them, hence doing it
before the map_free callback would be leaking special field memory, and
do invalid memory access. The btf_record keeps module references which
is critical to ensure the dtor call made for referenced kptr is safe to
do.

If doing it after map_free callback, the map area is already freed, so
we cannot access bpf_map structure anymore.

To fix this and prevent such lapses in future, move bpf_map_free_record
out of the map_free callback, and do it after map_free by remembering
the btf_record pointer. There is no need to access bpf_map structure in
that case, and we can avoid missing this case when support for new map
types is added for other special fields.

Since a btf_record and its btf_field_offs are used together, for
consistency delay freeing of field_offs as well. While not a problem
right now, a lot of code assumes that either both record and field_offs
are set or none at once.

Note that in case of map of maps (outer maps), inner_map_meta-&gt;record is
only used during verification, not to free fields in map value, hence we
simply keep the bpf_map_free_record call as is in bpf_map_meta_free and
never touch map-&gt;inner_map_meta in bpf_map_free_deferred.

Add a comment making note of these details.

<id>urn:sha1:3af43ba4c6019b29c048921eb8147eb010165329</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently bpf_map_do_batch() first invokes fdget(batch.map_fd) to get
the target map file, then it invokes generic_map_update_batch() to do
batch update. generic_map_update_batch() will get the target map file
by using fdget(batch.map_fd) again and pass it to bpf_map_update_value().

The problem is map file returned by the second fdget() may be NULL or a
totally different file compared by map file in bpf_map_do_batch(). The
reason is that the first fdget() only guarantees the liveness of struct
file instead of file descriptor and the file description may be released
by concurrent close() through pick_file().

It doesn't incur any problem as for now, because maps with batch update
support don't use map file in .map_fd_get_ptr() ops. But it is better to
fix the potential access of an invalid map file.

Using __bpf_map_get() again in generic_map_update_batch() can not fix
the problem, because batch.map_fd may be closed and reopened, and the
returned map file may be different with map file got in
bpf_map_do_batch(), so just passing the map file directly to
.map_update_batch() in bpf_map_do_batch().

<id>urn:sha1:f0c5941ff5b255413d31425bb327c2aec3625673</id>
<content type='text'>
Add the support on the map side to parse, recognize, verify, and build
metadata table for a new special field of the type struct bpf_list_head.
To parameterize the bpf_list_head for a certain value type and the
list_node member it will accept in that value type, we use BTF
declaration tags.

The definition of bpf_list_head in a map value will be done as follows:

struct foo {
	struct bpf_list_node node;
	int data;
};

struct map_value {
	struct bpf_list_head head __contains(foo, node);
};

Then, the bpf_list_head only allows adding to the list 'head' using the
bpf_list_node 'node' for the type struct foo.

The 'contains' annotation is a BTF declaration tag composed of four
parts, "contains:name:node" where the name is then used to look up the
type in the map BTF, with its kind hardcoded to BTF_KIND_STRUCT during
the lookup. The node defines name of the member in this type that has
the type struct bpf_list_node, which is actually used for linking into
the linked list. For now, 'kind' part is hardcoded as struct.

This allows building intrusive linked lists in BPF, using container_of
to obtain pointer to entry, while being completely type safe from the
perspective of the verifier. The verifier knows exactly the type of the
nodes, and knows that list helpers return that type at some fixed offset
where the bpf_list_node member used for this list exists. The verifier
also uses this information to disallow adding types that are not
accepted by a certain list.

For now, no elements can be added to such lists. Support for that is
coming in future patches, hence draining and freeing items is done with
a TODO that will be resolved in a future patch.

Note that the bpf_list_head_free function moves the list out to a local
variable under the lock and releases it, doing the actual draining of
the list items outside the lock. While this helps with not holding the
lock for too long pessimizing other concurrent list operations, it is
also necessary for deadlock prevention: unless every function called in
the critical section would be notrace, a fentry/fexit program could
attach and call bpf_map_update_elem again on the map, leading to the
same lock being acquired if the key matches and lead to a deadlock.
While this requires some special effort on part of the BPF programmer to
trigger and is highly unlikely to occur in practice, it is always better
if we can avoid such a condition.

While notrace would prevent this, doing the draining outside the lock
has advantages of its own, hence it is used to also fix the deadlock
related problem.
