Check whether error injectable event is on function entry or not.
Currently it checks the event is ftrace-based kprobes or not,
but that is wrong. It should check if the event is on the entry
of target function. Since error injection will override a function
to just return with modified return value, that operation must
be done before the target function starts making stackframe.
As a side effect, bpf error injection is no need to depend on
function-tracer. It can work with sw-breakpoint based kprobe
events too.

Rename the BPF verifier `verbose()` to `bpf_verifier_log_write()` and
export it, so that other components (in particular, drivers for BPF
offload) can reuse the user buffer log to dump error messages at
verification time.
Renaming `verbose()` was necessary in order to avoid a name so generic
to be exported to the global namespace. However to prevent too much pain
for backports, the calls to `verbose()` in the kernel BPF verifier were
not changed. Instead, use function aliasing to make `verbose` point to
`bpf_verifier_log_write`. Another solution could consist in making a
wrapper around `verbose()`, but since it is a variadic function, I don't
see a clean way without creating two identical wrappers, one for the
verifier and one to export.

The BPF interpreter has been used as part of the spectre 2 attack CVE-2017-5715.
A quote from goolge project zero blog:
"At this point, it would normally be necessary to locate gadgets in
the host kernel code that can be used to actually leak data by reading
from an attacker-controlled location, shifting and masking the result
appropriately and then using the result of that as offset to an
attacker-controlled address for a load. But piecing gadgets together
and figuring out which ones work in a speculation context seems annoying.
So instead, we decided to use the eBPF interpreter, which is built into
the host kernel - while there is no legitimate way to invoke it from inside
a VM, the presence of the code in the host kernel's text section is sufficient
to make it usable for the attack, just like with ordinary ROP gadgets."
To make attacker job harder introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON config
option that removes interpreter from the kernel in favor of JIT-only mode.
So far eBPF JIT is supported by:
x64, arm64, arm32, sparc64, s390, powerpc64, mips64
The start of JITed program is randomized and code page is marked as read-only.
In addition "constant blinding" can be turned on with net.core.bpf_jit_harden
v2->v3:
- move __bpf_prog_ret0 under ifdef (Daniel)
v1->v2:
- fix init order, test_bpf and cBPF (Daniel's feedback)
- fix offloaded bpf (Jakub's feedback)
- add 'return 0' dummy in case something can invoke prog->bpf_func
- retarget bpf tree. For bpf-next the patch would need one extra hunk.
It will be sent when the trees are merged back to net-next
Considered doing:
int bpf_jit_enable __read_mostly = BPF_EBPF_JIT_DEFAULT;
but it seems better to land the patch as-is and in bpf-next remove
bpf_jit_enable global variable from all JITs, consolidate in one place
and remove this jit_init() function.

Under speculation, CPUs may mis-predict branches in bounds checks. Thus,
memory accesses under a bounds check may be speculated even if the
bounds check fails, providing a primitive for building a side channel.
To avoid leaking kernel data round up array-based maps and mask the index
after bounds check, so speculated load with out of bounds index will load
either valid value from the array or zero from the padded area.
Unconditionally mask index for all array types even when max_entries
are not rounded to power of 2 for root user.
When map is created by unpriv user generate a sequence of bpf insns
that includes AND operation to make sure that JITed code includes
the same 'index & index_mask' operation.
If prog_array map is created by unpriv user replace
bpf_tail_call(ctx, map, index);
with
if (index >= max_entries) {
index &= map->index_mask;
bpf_tail_call(ctx, map, index);
}
(along with roundup to power 2) to prevent out-of-bounds speculation.
There is secondary redundant 'if (index >= max_entries)' in the interpreter
and in all JITs, but they can be optimized later if necessary.
Other array-like maps (cpumap, devmap, sockmap, perf_event_array, cgroup_array)
cannot be used by unpriv, so no changes there.
That fixes bpf side of "Variant 1: bounds check bypass (CVE-2017-5753)" on
all architectures with and without JIT.
v2->v3:
Daniel noticed that attack potentially can be crafted via syscall commands
without loading the program, so add masking to those paths as well.

Currently, bpf syscall command BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY is not
supported for stacktrace map. However, there are use cases where
user space wants to enumerate all stacktrace map entries where
BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY command will be really helpful.
In addition, if user space wants to delete all map entries
in order to save memory and does not want to close the
map file descriptor, BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY may help improve
performance if map entries are sparsely populated.
The implementation has similar behavior for
BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY implementation in hashtab. If user provides
a NULL key pointer or an invalid key, the first key is returned.
Otherwise, the first valid key after the input parameter "key"
is returned, or -ENOENT if no valid key can be found.

As Tsukada explains, the time_is_before_jiffies(acct->needcheck) check
is very wrong, we need time_is_after_jiffies() to make sys_acct() work.
Ignoring the overflows, the code should "goto out" if needcheck >
jiffies, while currently it checks "needcheck < jiffies" and thus in the
likely case check_free_space() does nothing until jiffies overflow.
In particular this means that sys_acct() is simply broken, acct_on()
sets acct->needcheck = jiffies and expects that check_free_space()
should set acct->active = 1 after the free-space check, but this won't
happen if jiffies increments in between.
This was broken by commit 32dc730860 ("get rid of timer in
kern/acct.c") in 2011, then another (correct) commit 795a2f22a8
("acct() should honour the limits from the very beginning") made the

to handle regression reports.
- The larger part addresses a regression caused by the x86 vector

The reservation based model does not work reliably for MSI

assigns a dummy vector when the interrupt is allocated and switches
to a real vector when the interrupt is requested.
If the MSI entry cannot be masked then the initialization might
raise an interrupt before the interrupt is requested, which ends up
as spurious interrupt and causes device malfunction and worse. The
fix is to exclude MSI interrupts which do not support masking from
reservation mode and assign a real vector right away.
- Extend the extra lockdep class setup for nested interrupts with a
class for the recently added irq_desc::request_mutex so lockdep can

The conditions in irq_exit() to invoke tick_nohz_irq_exit() which
subsequently invokes tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() are:
if ((idle_cpu(cpu) && !need_resched()) || tick_nohz_full_cpu(cpu))
If need_resched() is not set, but a timer softirq is pending then this is
an indication that the softirq code punted and delegated the execution to
softirqd. need_resched() is not true because the current interrupted task
takes precedence over softirqd.
Invoking tick_nohz_irq_exit() in this case can cause an endless loop of
timer interrupts because the timer wheel contains an expired timer, but
softirqs are not yet executed. So it returns an immediate expiry request,
which causes the timer to fire immediately again. Lather, rinse and
repeat....
Prevent that by adding a check for a pending timer soft interrupt to the
conditions in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() which avoid calling
get_next_timer_interrupt(). That keeps the tick sched timer on the tick and
prevents a repetitive programming of an already expired timer.

During boot and before base::nohz_active is set in the timer bases, deferrable
timers are enqueued into the standard timer base. This works correctly as
long as base::nohz_active is false.
Once it base::nohz_active is set and a timer which was enqueued before that
is accessed the lock selector code choses the lock of the deferred
base. This causes unlocked access to the standard base and in case the
timer is removed it does not clear the pending flag in the standard base
bitmap which causes get_next_timer_interrupt() to return bogus values.
To prevent that, the deferrable timers must be enqueued in the deferrable
base, even when base::nohz_active is not set. Those deferrable timers also
need to be expired unconditional.

a large amount of queues/interrupts are initialized, but only a minimal
subset of those queues/interrupts is actually used.
This mode has an issue with MSI interrupts which cannot be masked. If the
driver is not careful or the hardware emits an interrupt before the device
irq is requestd by the driver then the interrupt ends up on the dummy
vector as a spurious interrupt which can cause malfunction of the device or
in the worst case a lockup of the machine.
Change the logic for the reservation mode so that the early activation of
MSI interrupts checks whether:
- the device is a PCI/MSI device
- the reservation mode of the underlying irqdomain is activated
- PCI/MSI masking is globally enabled
- the PCI/MSI device uses either MSI-X, which supports masking, or
MSI with the maskbit supported.
If one of those conditions is false, then clear the reservation mode flag
in the irq data of the interrupt and invoke irq_domain_activate_irq() with
the reserve argument cleared. In the x86 vector code, clear the can_reserve
flag in the vector allocation data so a subsequent free_irq() won't create
the same situation again. The interrupt stays assigned to a real vector
until pci_disable_msi() is invoked and all allocations are undone.

When analyzing the fallout of the x86 vector allocation rework it turned
out that the error handling in msi_domain_alloc_irqs() is broken.
If MSI_FLAG_MUST_REACTIVATE is set for a MSI domain then it clears the
activation flag for a successfully initialized msi descriptor. If a
subsequent initialization fails then the error handling code path does not
deactivate the interrupt because the activation flag got cleared.
Move the clearing of the activation flag outside of the initialization loop
so that an eventual failure can be cleaned up correctly.

Since the recent remote cpufreq callback work, its possible that a cpufreq
update is triggered from a remote CPU. For single policies however, the current
code uses the local CPU when trying to determine if the remote sg_cpu entered
idle or is busy. This is incorrect. To remedy this, compare with the nohz tick
idle_calls counter of the remote CPU.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2017-12-28
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Fix incorrect state pruning related to recognition of zero initialized
stack slots, where stacksafe exploration would mistakenly return a
positive pruning verdict too early ignoring other slots, from Gianluca.
2) Various BPF to BPF calls related follow-up fixes. Fix an off-by-one
in maximum call depth check, and rework maximum stack depth tracking
logic to fix a bypass of the total stack size check reported by Jann.
Also fix a bug in arm64 JIT where prog->jited_len was uninitialized.
Addition of various test cases to BPF selftests, from Alexei.
3) Addition of a BPF selftest to test_verifier that is related to BPF to
BPF calls which demonstrates a late caller stack size increase and
thus out of bounds access. Fixed above in 2). Test case from Jann.
4) Addition of correlating BPF helper calls, BPF to BPF calls as well
as BPF maps to bpftool xlated dump in order to allow for better
BPF program introspection and debugging, from Daniel.
5) Fixing several bugs in BPF to BPF calls kallsyms handling in order
to get it actually to work for subprogs, from Daniel.
6) Extending sparc64 JIT support for BPF to BPF calls and fix a couple
of build errors for libbpf on sparc64, from David.
7) Allow narrower context access for BPF dev cgroup typed programs in
order to adapt to LLVM code generation. Also adjust memlock rlimit
in the test_dev_cgroup BPF selftest, from Yonghong.
8) Add netdevsim Kconfig entry to BPF selftests since test_offload.py
relies on netdevsim device being available, from Jakub.
9) Reduce scope of xdp_do_generic_redirect_map() to being static,
from Xiongwei.
10) Minor cleanups and spelling fixes in BPF verifier, from Colin.

were getting corrupted. In the process I found three bugs. One was the
culprit, but the other two scared me. After deeper investigation, they
were not as major as I thought they were, due to a signed compared to
an unsigned that prevented a negative number from doing actual harm.
The two bigger bugs:
- Mask the ring buffer data page length. There are data flags at the
high bits of the length field. These were not cleared via the
length function, and the length could return a negative number.
(Although the number returned was unsigned, but was assigned to a
signed number) Luckily, this value was compared to PAGE_SIZE which is
unsigned and kept it from entering the path that could have caused damage.
- Check the page usage before reusing the ring buffer reader page.
TCP increments the page ref when passing the page off to the network.
The page is passed back to the ring buffer for use on free. But
the page could still be in use by the TCP stack.
Minor bugs:
- Related to the first bug. No need to clear out the unused ring buffer
data before sending to user space. It is now done by the ring buffer
code itself.
- Reset pointers after free on error path. There were some cases in
the error path that pointers were freed but not set to NULL, and could
have them freed again, having a pointer freed twice.

Double free of the ring buffer happens when it fails to alloc new
ring buffer instance for max_buffer if TRACER_MAX_TRACE is configured.
The root cause is that the pointer is not set to NULL after the buffer
is freed in allocate_trace_buffers(), and the freeing of the ring
buffer is invoked again later if the pointer is not equal to Null,
as:
instance_mkdir()
|-allocate_trace_buffers()
|-allocate_trace_buffer(tr, &tr->trace_buffer...)
|-allocate_trace_buffer(tr, &tr->max_buffer...)
// allocate fail(-ENOMEM),first free
// and the buffer pointer is not set to null
|-ring_buffer_free(tr->trace_buffer.buffer)
// out_free_tr
|-free_trace_buffers()
|-free_trace_buffer(&tr->trace_buffer);
//if trace_buffer is not null, free again
|-ring_buffer_free(buf->buffer)
|-rb_free_cpu_buffer(buffer->buffers[cpu])
// ring_buffer_per_cpu is null, and
// crash in ring_buffer_per_cpu->pages

To free the reader page that is allocated with ring_buffer_alloc_read_page(),
ring_buffer_free_read_page() must be called. For faster performance, this
page can be reused by the ring buffer to avoid having to free and allocate
new pages.
The issue arises when the page is used with a splice pipe into the
networking code. The networking code may up the page counter for the page,
and keep it active while sending it is queued to go to the network. The
incrementing of the page ref does not prevent it from being reused in the
ring buffer, and this can cause the page that is being sent out to the
network to be modified before it is sent by reading new data.
Add a check to the page ref counter, and only reuse the page if it is not
being used anywhere else.

The ring_buffer_read_page() takes care of zeroing out any extra data in the
page that it returns. There's no need to zero it out again from the
consumer. It was removed from one consumer of this function, but
read_buffers_splice_read() did not remove it, and worse, it contained a
nasty bug because of it.

Two info bits were added to the "commit" part of the ring buffer data page
when returned to be consumed. This was to inform the user space readers that
events have been missed, and that the count may be stored at the end of the
page.
What wasn't handled, was the splice code that actually called a function to
return the length of the data in order to zero out the rest of the page
before sending it up to user space. These data bits were returned with the
length making the value negative, and that negative value was not checked.
It was compared to PAGE_SIZE, and only used if the size was less than
PAGE_SIZE. Luckily PAGE_SIZE is unsigned long which made the compare an
unsigned compare, meaning the negative size value did not end up causing a
large portion of memory to be randomly zeroed out.
