bpf: add script and prepare bpf.h for new helpers documentation Remove previous "overview" of eBPF helpers from user bpf.h header. Replace it by a comment explaining how to process the new documentation (to come in following patches) with a Python script to produce RST, then man page documentation. Also add the aforementioned Python script under scripts/. It is used to process include/uapi/linux/bpf.h and to extract helper descriptions, to turn it into a RST document that can further be processed with rst2man to produce a man page. The script takes one "--filename <path/to/file>" option. If the script is launched from scripts/ in the kernel root directory, it should be able to find the location of the header to parse, and "--filename <path/to/file>" is then optional. If it cannot find the file, then the option becomes mandatory. RST-formatted documentation is printed to standard output. Typical workflow for producing the final man page would be: $ ./scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py \ --filename include/uapi/linux/bpf.h > /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst $ rst2man /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst > /tmp/bpf-helpers.7 $ man /tmp/bpf-helpers.7 Note that the tool kernel-doc cannot be used to document eBPF helpers, whose signatures are not available directly in the header files (pre-processor directives are used to produce them at the beginning of the compilation process). v4: - Also remove overviews for newly added bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() and bpf_skb_get_xfrm_state(). - Remove vague statement about what helpers are restricted to GPL programs in "LICENSE" section for man page footer. - Replace license boilerplate with SPDX tag for Python script. v3: - Change license for man page. - Remove "for safety reasons" from man page header text. - Change "packets metadata" to "packets" in man page header text. - Move and fix comment on helpers introducing no overhead. - Remove "NOTES" section from man page footer. - Add "LICENSE" section to man page footer. - Edit description of file include/uapi/linux/bpf.h in man page footer.

scripts/bpf: Set version attribute for bpf-helpers(7) man page The bpf-helpers(7) manual page shipped in the man-pages project is generated from the documentation contained in the BPF UAPI header, in the Linux repository, parsed by script/bpf_doc.py and then fed to rst2man. After a recent update of that page [0], Alejandro reported that the linter used to validate the man pages complains about the generated document [1]. The header for the page is supposed to contain some attributes that we do not set correctly with the script. This commit updates the "project and version" field. We discussed the format of those fields in [1] and [2]. Before: $ ./scripts/bpf_doc.py helpers | rst2man | grep '\.TH' .TH BPF-HELPERS 7 "" "" "" After: $ ./scripts/bpf_doc.py helpers | rst2man | grep '\.TH' .TH BPF-HELPERS 7 "" "Linux v5.19-14022-g30d2a4d74e11" "" We get the version from "git describe", but if unavailable, we fall back on "make kernelversion". If none works, for example because neither git nore make are installed, we just set the field to "Linux" and keep generating the page.

bpf: relax constraints on formatting for eBPF helper documentation The Python script used to parse and extract eBPF helpers documentation from include/uapi/linux/bpf.h expects a very specific formatting for the descriptions (single dot represents a space, '>' stands for a tab): /* ... *.int bpf_helper(list of arguments) *.> Description *.> > Start of description *.> > Another line of description *.> > And yet another line of description *.> Return *.> > 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure ... */ This is too strict, and painful for developers who wants to add documentation for new helpers. Worse, it is extremely difficult to check that the formatting is correct during reviews. Change the format expected by the script and make it more flexible. The script now works whether or not the initial space (right after the star) is present, and accepts both tabs and white spaces (or a combination of both) for indenting description sections and contents. Concretely, something like the following would now be supported: /* ... *int bpf_helper(list of arguments) *......Description *.> > Start of description... *> > Another line of description *..............And yet another line of description *> Return *.> ........0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure ... */ While at it, remove unnecessary carets from each regex used with match() in the script. They are redundant, as match() tries to match from the beginning of the string by default. v2: Remove unnecessary caret when a regex is used with match().

bpf: relax constraints on formatting for eBPF helper documentation The Python script used to parse and extract eBPF helpers documentation from include/uapi/linux/bpf.h expects a very specific formatting for the descriptions (single dot represents a space, '>' stands for a tab): /* ... *.int bpf_helper(list of arguments) *.> Description *.> > Start of description *.> > Another line of description *.> > And yet another line of description *.> Return *.> > 0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure ... */ This is too strict, and painful for developers who wants to add documentation for new helpers. Worse, it is extremely difficult to check that the formatting is correct during reviews. Change the format expected by the script and make it more flexible. The script now works whether or not the initial space (right after the star) is present, and accepts both tabs and white spaces (or a combination of both) for indenting description sections and contents. Concretely, something like the following would now be supported: /* ... *int bpf_helper(list of arguments) *......Description *.> > Start of description... *> > Another line of description *..............And yet another line of description *> Return *.> ........0 on success, or a negative error in case of failure ... */ While at it, remove unnecessary carets from each regex used with match() in the script. They are redundant, as match() tries to match from the beginning of the string by default. v2: Remove unnecessary caret when a regex is used with match().

bpf: explicitly define BPF_FUNC_xxx integer values Historically enum bpf_func_id's BPF_FUNC_xxx enumerators relied on implicit sequential values being assigned by compiler. This is convenient, as new BPF helpers are always added at the very end, but it also has its downsides, some of them being: - with over 200 helpers now it's very hard to know what's each helper's ID, which is often important to know when working with BPF assembly (e.g., by dumping raw bpf assembly instructions with llvm-objdump -d command). it's possible to work around this by looking into vmlinux.h, dumping /sys/btf/kernel/vmlinux, looking at libbpf-provided bpf_helper_defs.h, etc. But it always feels like an unnecessary step and one should be able to quickly figure this out from UAPI header. - when backporting and cherry-picking only some BPF helpers onto older kernels it's important to be able to skip some enum values for helpers that weren't backported, but preserve absolute integer IDs to keep BPF helper IDs stable so that BPF programs stay portable across upstream and backported kernels. While neither problem is insurmountable, they come up frequently enough and are annoying enough to warrant improving the situation. And for the backporting the problem can easily go unnoticed for a while, especially if backport is done with people not very familiar with BPF subsystem overall. Anyways, it's easy to fix this by making sure that __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER macro provides explicit helper IDs. Unfortunately that would potentially break existing users that use UAPI-exposed __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER and are expected to pass macro that accepts only symbolic helper identifier (e.g., map_lookup_elem for bpf_map_lookup_elem() helper). As such, we need to introduce a new macro (___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER) which would specify both identifier and integer ID, but in such a way as to allow existing __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER be expressed in terms of new ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER macro. And that's what this patch is doing. To avoid duplication and allow __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER stay *exactly* the same, ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER accepts arbitrary "context" arguments, which can be used to pass any extra macros, arguments, and whatnot. In our case we use this to pass original user-provided macro that expects single argument and __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER is using it's own three-argument __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER_APPLY intermediate macro to impedance-match new and old "callback" macros. Once we resolve this, we use new ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER to define enum bpf_func_id with explicit values. The other users of __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER in kernel (namely in kernel/bpf/disasm.c) are kept exactly the same both as demonstration that backwards compat works, but also to avoid unnecessary code churn. Note that new ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER() doesn't forcefully insert comma between values, as that might not be appropriate in all possible cases where ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER might be used by users. This doesn't reduce usability, as it's trivial to insert that comma inside "callback" macro. To validate all the manually specified IDs are exactly right, we used BTF to compare before and after values: $ bpftool btf dump file ~/linux-build/default/vmlinux | rg bpf_func_id -A 211 > after.txt $ git stash # stach UAPI changes $ make -j90 ... re-building kernel without UAPI changes ... $ bpftool btf dump file ~/linux-build/default/vmlinux | rg bpf_func_id -A 211 > before.txt $ diff -u before.txt after.txt --- before.txt 2022-10-05 10:48:18.119195916 -0700 +++ after.txt 2022-10-05 10:46:49.446615025 -0700 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -[14576] ENUM 'bpf_func_id' encoding=UNSIGNED size=4 vlen=211 +[9560] ENUM 'bpf_func_id' encoding=UNSIGNED size=4 vlen=211 'BPF_FUNC_unspec' val=0 'BPF_FUNC_map_lookup_elem' val=1 'BPF_FUNC_map_update_elem' val=2 As can be seen from diff above, the only thing that changed was resulting BTF type ID of ENUM bpf_func_id, not any of the enumerators, their names or integer values. The only other place that needed fixing was scripts/bpf_doc.py used to generate man pages and bpf_helper_defs.h header for libbpf and selftests. That script is tightly-coupled to exact shape of ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER macro definition, so had to be trivially adapted.

bpf: explicitly define BPF_FUNC_xxx integer values Historically enum bpf_func_id's BPF_FUNC_xxx enumerators relied on implicit sequential values being assigned by compiler. This is convenient, as new BPF helpers are always added at the very end, but it also has its downsides, some of them being: - with over 200 helpers now it's very hard to know what's each helper's ID, which is often important to know when working with BPF assembly (e.g., by dumping raw bpf assembly instructions with llvm-objdump -d command). it's possible to work around this by looking into vmlinux.h, dumping /sys/btf/kernel/vmlinux, looking at libbpf-provided bpf_helper_defs.h, etc. But it always feels like an unnecessary step and one should be able to quickly figure this out from UAPI header. - when backporting and cherry-picking only some BPF helpers onto older kernels it's important to be able to skip some enum values for helpers that weren't backported, but preserve absolute integer IDs to keep BPF helper IDs stable so that BPF programs stay portable across upstream and backported kernels. While neither problem is insurmountable, they come up frequently enough and are annoying enough to warrant improving the situation. And for the backporting the problem can easily go unnoticed for a while, especially if backport is done with people not very familiar with BPF subsystem overall. Anyways, it's easy to fix this by making sure that __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER macro provides explicit helper IDs. Unfortunately that would potentially break existing users that use UAPI-exposed __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER and are expected to pass macro that accepts only symbolic helper identifier (e.g., map_lookup_elem for bpf_map_lookup_elem() helper). As such, we need to introduce a new macro (___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER) which would specify both identifier and integer ID, but in such a way as to allow existing __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER be expressed in terms of new ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER macro. And that's what this patch is doing. To avoid duplication and allow __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER stay *exactly* the same, ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER accepts arbitrary "context" arguments, which can be used to pass any extra macros, arguments, and whatnot. In our case we use this to pass original user-provided macro that expects single argument and __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER is using it's own three-argument __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER_APPLY intermediate macro to impedance-match new and old "callback" macros. Once we resolve this, we use new ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER to define enum bpf_func_id with explicit values. The other users of __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER in kernel (namely in kernel/bpf/disasm.c) are kept exactly the same both as demonstration that backwards compat works, but also to avoid unnecessary code churn. Note that new ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER() doesn't forcefully insert comma between values, as that might not be appropriate in all possible cases where ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER might be used by users.

bpf: explicitly define BPF_FUNC_xxx integer values Historically enum bpf_func_id's BPF_FUNC_xxx enumerators relied on implicit sequential values being assigned by compiler. This is convenient, as new BPF helpers are always added at the very end, but it also has its downsides, some of them being: - with over 200 helpers now it's very hard to know what's each helper's ID, which is often important to know when working with BPF assembly (e.g., by dumping raw bpf assembly instructions with llvm-objdump -d command). it's possible to work around this by looking into vmlinux.h, dumping /sys/btf/kernel/vmlinux, looking at libbpf-provided bpf_helper_defs.h, etc. But it always feels like an unnecessary step and one should be able to quickly figure this out from UAPI header. - when backporting and cherry-picking only some BPF helpers onto older kernels it's important to be able to skip some enum values for helpers that weren't backported, but preserve absolute integer IDs to keep BPF helper IDs stable so that BPF programs stay portable across upstream and backported kernels. While neither problem is insurmountable, they come up frequently enough and are annoying enough to warrant improving the situation. And for the backporting the problem can easily go unnoticed for a while, especially if backport is done with people not very familiar with BPF subsystem overall. Anyways, it's easy to fix this by making sure that __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER macro provides explicit helper IDs. Unfortunately that would potentially break existing users that use UAPI-exposed __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER and are expected to pass macro that accepts only symbolic helper identifier (e.g., map_lookup_elem for bpf_map_lookup_elem() helper). As such, we need to introduce a new macro (___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER) which would specify both identifier and integer ID, but in such a way as to allow existing __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER be expressed in terms of new ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER macro. And that's what this patch is doing. To avoid duplication and allow __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER stay *exactly* the same, ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER accepts arbitrary "context" arguments, which can be used to pass any extra macros, arguments, and whatnot. In our case we use this to pass original user-provided macro that expects single argument and __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER is using it's own three-argument __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER_APPLY intermediate macro to impedance-match new and old "callback" macros. Once we resolve this, we use new ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER to define enum bpf_func_id with explicit values. The other users of __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER in kernel (namely in kernel/bpf/disasm.c) are kept exactly the same both as demonstration that backwards compat works, but also to avoid unnecessary code churn. Note that new ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER() doesn't forcefully insert comma between values, as that might not be appropriate in all possible cases where ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER might be used by users. This doesn't reduce usability, as it's trivial to insert that comma inside "callback" macro. To validate all the manually specified IDs are exactly right, we used BTF to compare before and after values: $ bpftool btf dump file ~/linux-build/default/vmlinux | rg bpf_func_id -A 211 > after.txt $ git stash # stach UAPI changes $ make -j90 ... re-building kernel without UAPI changes ... $ bpftool btf dump file ~/linux-build/default/vmlinux | rg bpf_func_id -A 211 > before.txt $ diff -u before.txt after.txt --- before.txt 2022-10-05 10:48:18.119195916 -0700 +++ after.txt 2022-10-05 10:46:49.446615025 -0700 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -[14576] ENUM 'bpf_func_id' encoding=UNSIGNED size=4 vlen=211 +[9560] ENUM 'bpf_func_id' encoding=UNSIGNED size=4 vlen=211 'BPF_FUNC_unspec' val=0 'BPF_FUNC_map_lookup_elem' val=1 'BPF_FUNC_map_update_elem' val=2 As can be seen from diff above, the only thing that changed was resulting BTF type ID of ENUM bpf_func_id, not any of the enumerators, their names or integer values. The only other place that needed fixing was scripts/bpf_doc.py used to generate man pages and bpf_helper_defs.h header for libbpf and selftests. That script is tightly-coupled to exact shape of ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER macro definition, so had to be trivially adapted.

DESCRIPTION
===========
The extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) subsystem consists in programs
written in a pseudo-assembly language, then attached to one of the several
kernel hooks and run in reaction of specific events. This framework differs
from the older, "classic" BPF (or "cBPF") in several aspects, one of them being
the ability to call special functions (or "helpers") from within a program.
These functions are restricted to a white-list of helpers defined in the
kernel.
These helpers are used by eBPF programs to interact with the system, or with
the context in which they work. For instance, they can be used to print
debugging messages, to get the time since the system was booted, to interact
with eBPF maps, or to manipulate network packets. Since there are several eBPF
program types, and that they do not run in the same context, each program type
can only call a subset of those helpers.
Due to eBPF conventions, a helper can not have more than five arguments.
Internally, eBPF programs call directly into the compiled helper functions
without requiring any foreign-function interface. As a result, calling helpers
introduces no overhead, thus offering excellent performance.
This document is an attempt to list and document the helpers available to eBPF
developers. They are sorted by chronological order (the oldest helpers in the
kernel at the top).

EXAMPLES
========
Example usage for most of the eBPF helpers listed in this manual page are
available within the Linux kernel sources, at the following locations:
* *samples/bpf/*
* *tools/testing/selftests/bpf/*
LICENSE
=======
eBPF programs can have an associated license, passed along with the bytecode
instructions to the kernel when the programs are loaded. The format for that
string is identical to the one in use for kernel modules (Dual licenses, such
as "Dual BSD/GPL", may be used). Some helper functions are only accessible to
programs that are compatible with the GNU Privacy License (GPL).
In order to use such helpers, the eBPF program must be loaded with the correct
license string passed (via **attr**) to the **bpf**\ () system call, and this
generally translates into the C source code of the program containing a line
similar to the following:
::
char ____license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
IMPLEMENTATION
==============
This manual page is an effort to document the existing eBPF helper functions.
But as of this writing, the BPF sub-system is under heavy development. New eBPF
program or map types are added, along with new helper functions. Some helpers
are occasionally made available for additional program types. So in spite of
the efforts of the community, this page might not be up-to-date. If you want to
check by yourself what helper functions exist in your kernel, or what types of
programs they can support, here are some files among the kernel tree that you
may be interested in:
* *include/uapi/linux/bpf.h* is the main BPF header. It contains the full list
of all helper functions, as well as many other BPF definitions including most
of the flags, structs or constants used by the helpers.
* *net/core/filter.c* contains the definition of most network-related helper
functions, and the list of program types from which they can be used.
* *kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c* is the equivalent for most tracing program-related
helpers.
* *kernel/bpf/verifier.c* contains the functions used to check that valid types
of eBPF maps are used with a given helper function.
* *kernel/bpf/* directory contains other files in which additional helpers are
defined (for cgroups, sockmaps, etc.).
* The bpftool utility can be used to probe the availability of helper functions
on the system (as well as supported program and map types, and a number of
other parameters). To do so, run **bpftool feature probe** (see
**bpftool-feature**\ (8) for details). Add the **unprivileged** keyword to
list features available to unprivileged users.

Compatibility between helper functions and program types can generally be found
in the files where helper functions are defined. Look for the **struct
bpf_func_proto** objects and for functions returning them: these functions
contain a list of helpers that a given program type can call. Note that the
**default:** label of the **switch ... case** used to filter helpers can call
other functions, themselves allowing access to additional helpers. The
requirement for GPL license is also in those **struct bpf_func_proto**.
Compatibility between helper functions and map types can be found in the
**check_map_func_compatibility**\ () function in file *kernel/bpf/verifier.c*.
Helper functions that invalidate the checks on **data** and **data_end**
pointers for network processing are listed in function
**bpf_helper_changes_pkt_data**\ () in file *net/core/filter.c*.

bpf: explicitly define BPF_FUNC_xxx integer values Historically enum bpf_func_id's BPF_FUNC_xxx enumerators relied on implicit sequential values being assigned by compiler. This is convenient, as new BPF helpers are always added at the very end, but it also has its downsides, some of them being: - with over 200 helpers now it's very hard to know what's each helper's ID, which is often important to know when working with BPF assembly (e.g., by dumping raw bpf assembly instructions with llvm-objdump -d command). it's possible to work around this by looking into vmlinux.h, dumping /sys/btf/kernel/vmlinux, looking at libbpf-provided bpf_helper_defs.h, etc. But it always feels like an unnecessary step and one should be able to quickly figure this out from UAPI header. - when backporting and cherry-picking only some BPF helpers onto older kernels it's important to be able to skip some enum values for helpers that weren't backported, but preserve absolute integer IDs to keep BPF helper IDs stable so that BPF programs stay portable across upstream and backported kernels. While neither problem is insurmountable, they come up frequently enough and are annoying enough to warrant improving the situation. And for the backporting the problem can easily go unnoticed for a while, especially if backport is done with people not very familiar with BPF subsystem overall. Anyways, it's easy to fix this by making sure that __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER macro provides explicit helper IDs. Unfortunately that would potentially break existing users that use UAPI-exposed __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER and are expected to pass macro that accepts only symbolic helper identifier (e.g., map_lookup_elem for bpf_map_lookup_elem() helper). As such, we need to introduce a new macro (___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER) which would specify both identifier and integer ID, but in such a way as to allow existing __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER be expressed in terms of new ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER macro. And that's what this patch is doing. To avoid duplication and allow __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER stay *exactly* the same, ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER accepts arbitrary "context" arguments, which can be used to pass any extra macros, arguments, and whatnot. In our case we use this to pass original user-provided macro that expects single argument and __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER is using it's own three-argument __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER_APPLY intermediate macro to impedance-match new and old "callback" macros. Once we resolve this, we use new ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER to define enum bpf_func_id with explicit values. The other users of __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER in kernel (namely in kernel/bpf/disasm.c) are kept exactly the same both as demonstration that backwards compat works, but also to avoid unnecessary code churn. Note that new ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER() doesn't forcefully insert comma between values, as that might not be appropriate in all possible cases where ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER might be used by users. This doesn't reduce usability, as it's trivial to insert that comma inside "callback" macro. To validate all the manually specified IDs are exactly right, we used BTF to compare before and after values: $ bpftool btf dump file ~/linux-build/default/vmlinux | rg bpf_func_id -A 211 > after.txt $ git stash # stach UAPI changes $ make -j90 ... re-building kernel without UAPI changes ... $ bpftool btf dump file ~/linux-build/default/vmlinux | rg bpf_func_id -A 211 > before.txt $ diff -u before.txt after.txt --- before.txt 2022-10-05 10:48:18.119195916 -0700 +++ after.txt 2022-10-05 10:46:49.446615025 -0700 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -[14576] ENUM 'bpf_func_id' encoding=UNSIGNED size=4 vlen=211 +[9560] ENUM 'bpf_func_id' encoding=UNSIGNED size=4 vlen=211 'BPF_FUNC_unspec' val=0 'BPF_FUNC_map_lookup_elem' val=1 'BPF_FUNC_map_update_elem' val=2 As can be seen from diff above, the only thing that changed was resulting BTF type ID of ENUM bpf_func_id, not any of the enumerators, their names or integer values. The only other place that needed fixing was scripts/bpf_doc.py used to generate man pages and bpf_helper_defs.h header for libbpf and selftests. That script is tightly-coupled to exact shape of ___BPF_FUNC_MAPPER macro definition, so had to be trivially adapted.

bpf: Introduce SK_LOOKUP program type with a dedicated attach point Add a new program type BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_LOOKUP with a dedicated attach type BPF_SK_LOOKUP. The new program kind is to be invoked by the transport layer when looking up a listening socket for a new connection request for connection oriented protocols, or when looking up an unconnected socket for a packet for connection-less protocols. When called, SK_LOOKUP BPF program can select a socket that will receive the packet. This serves as a mechanism to overcome the limits of what bind() API allows to express. Two use-cases driving this work are: (1) steer packets destined to an IP range, on fixed port to a socket 192.0.2.0/24, port 80 -> NGINX socket (2) steer packets destined to an IP address, on any port to a socket 198.51.100.1, any port -> L7 proxy socket In its run-time context program receives information about the packet that triggered the socket lookup. Namely IP version, L4 protocol identifier, and address 4-tuple. Context can be further extended to include ingress interface identifier. To select a socket BPF program fetches it from a map holding socket references, like SOCKMAP or SOCKHASH, and calls bpf_sk_assign(ctx, sk, ...) helper to record the selection. Transport layer then uses the selected socket as a result of socket lookup. In its basic form, SK_LOOKUP acts as a filter and hence must return either SK_PASS or SK_DROP. If the program returns with SK_PASS, transport should look for a socket to receive the packet, or use the one selected by the program if available, while SK_DROP informs the transport layer that the lookup should fail. This patch only enables the user to attach an SK_LOOKUP program to a network namespace. Subsequent patches hook it up to run on local delivery path in ipv4 and ipv6 stacks.

bpf: Add bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write helpers Two helpers bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write, are added for writing data to the seq_file buffer. bpf_seq_printf supports common format string flag/width/type fields so at least I can get identical results for netlink and ipv6_route targets. For bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write, return value -EOVERFLOW specifically indicates a write failure due to overflow, which means the object will be repeated in the next bpf invocation if object collection stays the same. Note that if the object collection is changed, depending how collection traversal is done, even if the object still in the collection, it may not be visited. For bpf_seq_printf, format %s, %p{i,I}{4,6} needs to read kernel memory. Reading kernel memory may fail in the following two cases: - invalid kernel address, or - valid kernel address but requiring a major fault If reading kernel memory failed, the %s string will be an empty string and %p{i,I}{4,6} will be all 0. Not returning error to bpf program is consistent with what bpf_trace_printk() does for now. bpf_seq_printf may return -EBUSY meaning that internal percpu buffer for memory copy of strings or other pointees is not available. Bpf program can return 1 to indicate it wants the same object to be repeated. Right now, this should not happen on no-RT kernels since migrate_disable(), which guards bpf prog call, calls preempt_disable().

bpf: Implement cgroup storage available to non-cgroup-attached bpf progs Similar to sk/inode/task storage, implement similar cgroup local storage. There already exists a local storage implementation for cgroup-attached bpf programs. See map type BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE and helper bpf_get_local_storage(). But there are use cases such that non-cgroup attached bpf progs wants to access cgroup local storage data. For example, tc egress prog has access to sk and cgroup. It is possible to use sk local storage to emulate cgroup local storage by storing data in socket. But this is a waste as it could be lots of sockets belonging to a particular cgroup. Alternatively, a separate map can be created with cgroup id as the key. But this will introduce additional overhead to manipulate the new map. A cgroup local storage, similar to existing sk/inode/task storage, should help for this use case. The life-cycle of storage is managed with the life-cycle of the cgroup struct. i.e. the storage is destroyed along with the owning cgroup with a call to bpf_cgrp_storage_free() when cgroup itself is deleted. The userspace map operations can be done by using a cgroup fd as a key passed to the lookup, update and delete operations. Typically, the following code is used to get the current cgroup: struct task_struct *task = bpf_get_current_task_btf(); ... task->cgroups->dfl_cgrp ... and in structure task_struct definition: struct task_struct { .... struct css_set __rcu *cgroups; .... } With sleepable program, accessing task->cgroups is not protected by rcu_read_lock. So the current implementation only supports non-sleepable program and supporting sleepable program will be the next step together with adding rcu_read_lock protection for rcu tagged structures. Since map name BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE has been used for old cgroup local storage support, the new map name BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE is used for cgroup storage available to non-cgroup-attached bpf programs. The old cgroup storage supports bpf_get_local_storage() helper to get the cgroup data. The new cgroup storage helper bpf_cgrp_storage_get() can provide similar functionality. While old cgroup storage pre-allocates storage memory, the new mechanism can also pre-allocate with a user space bpf_map_update_elem() call to avoid potential run-time memory allocation failure. Therefore, the new cgroup storage can provide all functionality w.r.t. the old one. So in uapi bpf.h, the old BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE is alias to BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED to indicate the old cgroup storage can be deprecated since the new one can provide the same functionality.

bpf: Add bpf_snprintf_btf helper A helper is added to support tracing kernel type information in BPF using the BPF Type Format (BTF). Its signature is long bpf_snprintf_btf(char *str, u32 str_size, struct btf_ptr *ptr, u32 btf_ptr_size, u64 flags); struct btf_ptr * specifies - a pointer to the data to be traced - the BTF id of the type of data pointed to - a flags field is provided for future use; these flags are not to be confused with the BTF_F_* flags below that control how the btf_ptr is displayed; the flags member of the struct btf_ptr may be used to disambiguate types in kernel versus module BTF, etc; the main distinction is the flags relate to the type and information needed in identifying it; not how it is displayed. For example a BPF program with a struct sk_buff *skb could do the following: static struct btf_ptr b = { }; b.ptr = skb; b.type_id = __builtin_btf_type_id(struct sk_buff, 1); bpf_snprintf_btf(str, sizeof(str), &b, sizeof(b), 0, 0); Default output looks like this: (struct sk_buff){ .transport_header = (__u16)65535, .mac_header = (__u16)65535, .end = (sk_buff_data_t)192, .head = (unsigned char *)0x000000007524fd8b, .data = (unsigned char *)0x000000007524fd8b, .truesize = (unsigned int)768, .users = (refcount_t){ .refs = (atomic_t){ .counter = (int)1, }, }, } Flags modifying display are as follows: - BTF_F_COMPACT: no formatting around type information - BTF_F_NONAME: no struct/union member names/types - BTF_F_PTR_RAW: show raw (unobfuscated) pointer values; equivalent to %px. - BTF_F_ZERO: show zero-valued struct/union members; they are not displayed by default Signed-off-by: Alan Maguire <alan.maguire@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/1601292670-1616-4-git-send-email-alan.maguire@oracle.com

bpf: Introduce bpf timers. Introduce 'struct bpf_timer { __u64 :64; __u64 :64; };' that can be embedded in hash/array/lru maps as a regular field and helpers to operate on it: // Initialize the timer. // First 4 bits of 'flags' specify clockid. // Only CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_BOOTTIME are allowed. long bpf_timer_init(struct bpf_timer *timer, struct bpf_map *map, int flags); // Configure the timer to call 'callback_fn' static function. long bpf_timer_set_callback(struct bpf_timer *timer, void *callback_fn); // Arm the timer to expire 'nsec' nanoseconds from the current time. long bpf_timer_start(struct bpf_timer *timer, u64 nsec, u64 flags); // Cancel the timer and wait for callback_fn to finish if it was running. long bpf_timer_cancel(struct bpf_timer *timer); Here is how BPF program might look like: struct map_elem { int counter; struct bpf_timer timer; }; struct { __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH); __uint(max_entries, 1000); __type(key, int); __type(value, struct map_elem); } hmap SEC(".maps"); static int timer_cb(void *map, int *key, struct map_elem *val); /* val points to particular map element that contains bpf_timer. */ SEC("fentry/bpf_fentry_test1") int BPF_PROG(test1, int a) { struct map_elem *val; int key = 0; val = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&hmap, &key); if (val) { bpf_timer_init(&val->timer, &hmap, CLOCK_REALTIME); bpf_timer_set_callback(&val->timer, timer_cb); bpf_timer_start(&val->timer, 1000 /* call timer_cb2 in 1 usec */, 0); } } This patch adds helper implementations that rely on hrtimers to call bpf functions as timers expire. The following patches add necessary safety checks. Only programs with CAP_BPF are allowed to use bpf_timer. The amount of timers used by the program is constrained by the memcg recorded at map creation time. The bpf_timer_init() helper needs explicit 'map' argument because inner maps are dynamic and not known at load time. While the bpf_timer_set_callback() is receiving hidden 'aux->prog' argument supplied by the verifier. The prog pointer is needed to do refcnting of bpf program to make sure that program doesn't get freed while the timer is armed. This approach relies on "user refcnt" scheme used in prog_array that stores bpf programs for bpf_tail_call. The bpf_timer_set_callback() will increment the prog refcnt which is paired with bpf_timer_cancel() that will drop the prog refcnt. The ops->map_release_uref is responsible for cancelling the timers and dropping prog refcnt when user space reference to a map reaches zero. This uref approach is done to make sure that Ctrl-C of user space process will not leave timers running forever unless the user space explicitly pinned a map that contained timers in bpffs. bpf_timer_init() and bpf_timer_set_callback() will return -EPERM if map doesn't have user references (is not held by open file descriptor from user space and not pinned in bpffs). The bpf_map_delete_elem() and bpf_map_update_elem() operations cancel and free the timer if given map element had it allocated. "bpftool map update" command can be used to cancel timers. The 'struct bpf_timer' is explicitly __attribute__((aligned(8))) because '__u64 :64' has 1 byte alignment of 8 byte padding.

bpf: Add verifier support for dynptrs This patch adds the bulk of the verifier work for supporting dynamic pointers (dynptrs) in bpf. A bpf_dynptr is opaque to the bpf program. It is a 16-byte structure defined internally as: struct bpf_dynptr_kern { void *data; u32 size; u32 offset; } __aligned(8); The upper 8 bits of *size* is reserved (it contains extra metadata about read-only status and dynptr type). Consequently, a dynptr only supports memory less than 16 MB. There are different types of dynptrs (eg malloc, ringbuf, ...). In this patchset, the most basic one, dynptrs to a bpf program's local memory, is added. For now only local memory that is of reg type PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE is supported. In the verifier, dynptr state information will be tracked in stack slots. When the program passes in an uninitialized dynptr (ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR | MEM_UNINIT), the stack slots corresponding to the frame pointer where the dynptr resides at are marked STACK_DYNPTR. For helper functions that take in initialized dynptrs (eg bpf_dynptr_read + bpf_dynptr_write which are added later in this patchset), the verifier enforces that the dynptr has been initialized properly by checking that their corresponding stack slots have been marked as STACK_DYNPTR. The 6th patch in this patchset adds test cases that the verifier should successfully reject, such as for example attempting to use a dynptr after doing a direct write into it inside the bpf program.

bpf: Introduce SK_LOOKUP program type with a dedicated attach point Add a new program type BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_LOOKUP with a dedicated attach type BPF_SK_LOOKUP. The new program kind is to be invoked by the transport layer when looking up a listening socket for a new connection request for connection oriented protocols, or when looking up an unconnected socket for a packet for connection-less protocols. When called, SK_LOOKUP BPF program can select a socket that will receive the packet. This serves as a mechanism to overcome the limits of what bind() API allows to express. Two use-cases driving this work are: (1) steer packets destined to an IP range, on fixed port to a socket 192.0.2.0/24, port 80 -> NGINX socket (2) steer packets destined to an IP address, on any port to a socket 198.51.100.1, any port -> L7 proxy socket In its run-time context program receives information about the packet that triggered the socket lookup. Namely IP version, L4 protocol identifier, and address 4-tuple. Context can be further extended to include ingress interface identifier. To select a socket BPF program fetches it from a map holding socket references, like SOCKMAP or SOCKHASH, and calls bpf_sk_assign(ctx, sk, ...) helper to record the selection. Transport layer then uses the selected socket as a result of socket lookup. In its basic form, SK_LOOKUP acts as a filter and hence must return either SK_PASS or SK_DROP. If the program returns with SK_PASS, transport should look for a socket to receive the packet, or use the one selected by the program if available, while SK_DROP informs the transport layer that the lookup should fail. This patch only enables the user to attach an SK_LOOKUP program to a network namespace. Subsequent patches hook it up to run on local delivery path in ipv4 and ipv6 stacks.

bpf: Add bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write helpers Two helpers bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write, are added for writing data to the seq_file buffer. bpf_seq_printf supports common format string flag/width/type fields so at least I can get identical results for netlink and ipv6_route targets. For bpf_seq_printf and bpf_seq_write, return value -EOVERFLOW specifically indicates a write failure due to overflow, which means the object will be repeated in the next bpf invocation if object collection stays the same. Note that if the object collection is changed, depending how collection traversal is done, even if the object still in the collection, it may not be visited. For bpf_seq_printf, format %s, %p{i,I}{4,6} needs to read kernel memory. Reading kernel memory may fail in the following two cases: - invalid kernel address, or - valid kernel address but requiring a major fault If reading kernel memory failed, the %s string will be an empty string and %p{i,I}{4,6} will be all 0. Not returning error to bpf program is consistent with what bpf_trace_printk() does for now. bpf_seq_printf may return -EBUSY meaning that internal percpu buffer for memory copy of strings or other pointees is not available. Bpf program can return 1 to indicate it wants the same object to be repeated. Right now, this should not happen on no-RT kernels since migrate_disable(), which guards bpf prog call, calls preempt_disable().

bpf: Implement cgroup storage available to non-cgroup-attached bpf progs Similar to sk/inode/task storage, implement similar cgroup local storage. There already exists a local storage implementation for cgroup-attached bpf programs. See map type BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE and helper bpf_get_local_storage(). But there are use cases such that non-cgroup attached bpf progs wants to access cgroup local storage data. For example, tc egress prog has access to sk and cgroup. It is possible to use sk local storage to emulate cgroup local storage by storing data in socket. But this is a waste as it could be lots of sockets belonging to a particular cgroup. Alternatively, a separate map can be created with cgroup id as the key. But this will introduce additional overhead to manipulate the new map. A cgroup local storage, similar to existing sk/inode/task storage, should help for this use case. The life-cycle of storage is managed with the life-cycle of the cgroup struct. i.e. the storage is destroyed along with the owning cgroup with a call to bpf_cgrp_storage_free() when cgroup itself is deleted. The userspace map operations can be done by using a cgroup fd as a key passed to the lookup, update and delete operations. Typically, the following code is used to get the current cgroup: struct task_struct *task = bpf_get_current_task_btf(); ... task->cgroups->dfl_cgrp ... and in structure task_struct definition: struct task_struct { .... struct css_set __rcu *cgroups; .... } With sleepable program, accessing task->cgroups is not protected by rcu_read_lock. So the current implementation only supports non-sleepable program and supporting sleepable program will be the next step together with adding rcu_read_lock protection for rcu tagged structures. Since map name BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE has been used for old cgroup local storage support, the new map name BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE is used for cgroup storage available to non-cgroup-attached bpf programs. The old cgroup storage supports bpf_get_local_storage() helper to get the cgroup data. The new cgroup storage helper bpf_cgrp_storage_get() can provide similar functionality. While old cgroup storage pre-allocates storage memory, the new mechanism can also pre-allocate with a user space bpf_map_update_elem() call to avoid potential run-time memory allocation failure. Therefore, the new cgroup storage can provide all functionality w.r.t. the old one.

bpf: Rework process_dynptr_func Recently, user ringbuf support introduced a PTR_TO_DYNPTR register type for use in callback state, because in case of user ringbuf helpers, there is no dynptr on the stack that is passed into the callback. To reflect such a state, a special register type was created. However, some checks have been bypassed incorrectly during the addition of this feature. First, for arg_type with MEM_UNINIT flag which initialize a dynptr, they must be rejected for such register type. Secondly, in the future, there are plans to add dynptr helpers that operate on the dynptr itself and may change its offset and other properties. In all of these cases, PTR_TO_DYNPTR shouldn't be allowed to be passed to such helpers, however the current code simply returns 0. The rejection for helpers that release the dynptr is already handled. For fixing this, we take a step back and rework existing code in a way that will allow fitting in all classes of helpers and have a coherent model for dealing with the variety of use cases in which dynptr is used. First, for ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR, it can either be set alone or together with a DYNPTR_TYPE_* constant that denotes the only type it accepts. Next, helpers which initialize a dynptr use MEM_UNINIT to indicate this fact. To make the distinction clear, use MEM_RDONLY flag to indicate that the helper only operates on the memory pointed to by the dynptr, not the dynptr itself. In C parlance, it would be equivalent to taking the dynptr as a point to const argument. When either of these flags are not present, the helper is allowed to mutate both the dynptr itself and also the memory it points to. Currently, the read only status of the memory is not tracked in the dynptr, but it would be trivial to add this support inside dynptr state of the register. With these changes and renaming PTR_TO_DYNPTR to CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR to better reflect its usage, it can no longer be passed to helpers that initialize a dynptr, i.e. bpf_dynptr_from_mem, bpf_ringbuf_reserve_dynptr. A note to reviewers is that in code that does mark_stack_slots_dynptr, and unmark_stack_slots_dynptr, we implicitly rely on the fact that PTR_TO_STACK reg is the only case that can reach that code path, as one cannot pass CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR to helpers that don't set MEM_RDONLY. In both cases such helpers won't be setting that flag. The next patch will add a couple of selftest cases to make sure this doesn't break.

bpf: Introduce SK_LOOKUP program type with a dedicated attach point Add a new program type BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_LOOKUP with a dedicated attach type BPF_SK_LOOKUP. The new program kind is to be invoked by the transport layer when looking up a listening socket for a new connection request for connection oriented protocols, or when looking up an unconnected socket for a packet for connection-less protocols. When called, SK_LOOKUP BPF program can select a socket that will receive the packet. This serves as a mechanism to overcome the limits of what bind() API allows to express. Two use-cases driving this work are: (1) steer packets destined to an IP range, on fixed port to a socket 192.0.2.0/24, port 80 -> NGINX socket (2) steer packets destined to an IP address, on any port to a socket 198.51.100.1, any port -> L7 proxy socket In its run-time context program receives information about the packet that triggered the socket lookup. Namely IP version, L4 protocol identifier, and address 4-tuple. Context can be further extended to include ingress interface identifier. To select a socket BPF program fetches it from a map holding socket references, like SOCKMAP or SOCKHASH, and calls bpf_sk_assign(ctx, sk, ...) helper to record the selection. Transport layer then uses the selected socket as a result of socket lookup. In its basic form, SK_LOOKUP acts as a filter and hence must return either SK_PASS or SK_DROP. If the program returns with SK_PASS, transport should look for a socket to receive the packet, or use the one selected by the program if available, while SK_DROP informs the transport layer that the lookup should fail. This patch only enables the user to attach an SK_LOOKUP program to a network namespace. Subsequent patches hook it up to run on local delivery path in ipv4 and ipv6 stacks.

bpf: add script and prepare bpf.h for new helpers documentation Remove previous "overview" of eBPF helpers from user bpf.h header. Replace it by a comment explaining how to process the new documentation (to come in following patches) with a Python script to produce RST, then man page documentation. Also add the aforementioned Python script under scripts/. It is used to process include/uapi/linux/bpf.h and to extract helper descriptions, to turn it into a RST document that can further be processed with rst2man to produce a man page. The script takes one "--filename <path/to/file>" option. If the script is launched from scripts/ in the kernel root directory, it should be able to find the location of the header to parse, and "--filename <path/to/file>" is then optional. If it cannot find the file, then the option becomes mandatory. RST-formatted documentation is printed to standard output. Typical workflow for producing the final man page would be: $ ./scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py \ --filename include/uapi/linux/bpf.h > /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst $ rst2man /tmp/bpf-helpers.rst > /tmp/bpf-helpers.7 $ man /tmp/bpf-helpers.7 Note that the tool kernel-doc cannot be used to document eBPF helpers, whose signatures are not available directly in the header files (pre-processor directives are used to produce them at the beginning of the compilation process). v4: - Also remove overviews for newly added bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() and bpf_skb_get_xfrm_state(). - Remove vague statement about what helpers are restricted to GPL programs in "LICENSE" section for man page footer. - Replace license boilerplate with SPDX tag for Python script. v3: - Change license for man page. - Remove "for safety reasons" from man page header text. - Change "packets metadata" to "packets" in man page header text. - Move and fix comment on helpers introducing no overhead. - Remove "NOTES" section from man page footer. - Add "LICENSE" section to man page footer. - Edit description of file include/uapi/linux/bpf.h in man page footer.
