<title>selftests/bpf: Define string const as global for test_sysctl_prog.c</title>

[ Upstream commit 6e057fc15a2da4ee03eb1fa6889cf687e690106e ]

When tweaking llvm optimizations, I found that selftest build failed
with the following error:
  libbpf: elf: skipping unrecognized data section(6) .rodata.str1.1
  libbpf: prog 'sysctl_tcp_mem': bad map relo against '.L__const.is_tcp_mem.tcp_mem_name'
          in section '.rodata.str1.1'
  Error: failed to open BPF object file: Relocation failed
  make: *** [/work/net-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sysctl_prog.skel.h] Error 255
  make: *** Deleting file `/work/net-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sysctl_prog.skel.h'

The local string constant "tcp_mem_name" is put into '.rodata.str1.1' section
which libbpf cannot handle. Using untweaked upstream llvm, "tcp_mem_name"
is completely inlined after loop unrolling.

Commit 7fb5eefd7639 ("selftests/bpf: Fix test_sysctl_loop{1, 2}
failure due to clang change") solved a similar problem by defining
the string const as a global. Let us do the same here
for test_sysctl_prog.c so it can weather future potential llvm changes.

commit ec6347bb43395cb92126788a1a5b25302543f815 upstream.

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.

Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

  &gt; And it won't work that way on other architectures. On x86, we have a

  &gt; In fact, it's probably wrong even on x86 - because it can hide bugs -

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().

Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.

One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

<title>selftests/bpf: Fix test_sysctl_loop{1, 2} failure due to clang change</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c91282cb79d819a2589d0c692bc715afcc810ed7</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 7fb5eefd76394cfefb380724a87ca40b47d44405 ]

Andrii reported that with latest clang, when building selftests, we have
error likes:
  error: progs/test_sysctl_loop1.c:23:16: in function sysctl_tcp_mem i32 (%struct.bpf_sysctl*):
  Looks like the BPF stack limit of 512 bytes is exceeded.
  Please move large on stack variables into BPF per-cpu array map.

The error is triggered by the following LLVM patch:
  https://reviews.llvm.org/D87134

For example, the following code is from test_sysctl_loop1.c:
  static __always_inline int is_tcp_mem(struct bpf_sysctl *ctx)
  {
    volatile char tcp_mem_name[] = "net/ipv4/tcp_mem/very_very_very_very_long_pointless_string";
    ...
  }
Without the above LLVM patch, the compiler did optimization to load the string
(59 bytes long) with 7 64bit loads, 1 8bit load and 1 16bit load,
occupying 64 byte stack size.

With the above LLVM patch, the compiler only uses 8bit loads, but subregister is 32bit.
So stack requirements become 4 * 59 = 236 bytes. Together with other stuff on
the stack, total stack size exceeds 512 bytes, hence compiler complains and quits.

To fix the issue, removing "volatile" key word or changing "volatile" to
"const"/"static const" does not work, the string is put in .rodata.str1.1 section,
which libbpf did not process it and errors out with
  libbpf: elf: skipping unrecognized data section(6) .rodata.str1.1
  libbpf: prog 'sysctl_tcp_mem': bad map relo against '.L__const.is_tcp_mem.tcp_mem_name'
          in section '.rodata.str1.1'

Defining the string const as global variable can fix the issue as it puts the string constant
in '.rodata' section which is recognized by libbpf. In the future, when libbpf can process
'.rodata.str*.*' properly, the global definition can be changed back to local definition.

Defining tcp_mem_name as a global, however, triggered a verifier failure.
   ./test_progs -n 7/21
  libbpf: load bpf program failed: Permission denied
  libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG ---
  libbpf:
  invalid stack off=0 size=1
  verification time 6975 usec
  stack depth 160+64
  processed 889 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 4 total_states
  14 peak_states 14 mark_read 10

  libbpf: -- END LOG --
  libbpf: failed to load program 'sysctl_tcp_mem'
  libbpf: failed to load object 'test_sysctl_loop2.o'
  test_bpf_verif_scale:FAIL:114
  #7/21 test_sysctl_loop2.o:FAIL
This actually exposed a bpf program bug. In test_sysctl_loop{1,2}, we have code
like
  const char tcp_mem_name[] = "&lt;...long string...&gt;";
  ...
  char name[64];
  ...
  for (i = 0; i &lt; sizeof(tcp_mem_name); ++i)
      if (name[i] != tcp_mem_name[i])
          return 0;
In the above code, if sizeof(tcp_mem_name) &gt; 64, name[i] access may be
out of bound. The sizeof(tcp_mem_name) is 59 for test_sysctl_loop1.c and
79 for test_sysctl_loop2.c.

Without promotion-to-global change, old compiler generates code where
the overflowed stack access is actually filled with valid value, so hiding
the bpf program bug. With promotion-to-global change, the code is different,
more specifically, the previous loading constants to stack is gone, and
"name" occupies stack[-64:0] and overflow access triggers a verifier error.
To fix the issue, adjust "name" buffer size properly.

[ Upstream commit 996f9e0f93f16211945c8d5f18f296a88cb32f91 ]

The kselftests test running infrastructure expects tests to finish with an
exit code of 4 if the test decided it should be skipped. Currently
eeh-basic.sh exits with the number of devices that failed to recover, so if
four devices didn't recover we'll report a skip instead of a fail.

Fix this by checking if the return code is non-zero and report success
and failure by returning 0 or 1 respectively. For the cases where should
actually skip return 4.

If a bitmap needs to be allocated, and then by the time the thread
is scheduled to be run again all the indices which would satisfy the
allocation have been allocated then we would leak the allocation.  Almost
impossible to hit in practice, but a trivial fix.  Found by Coverity.
