Introduce 'struct bpf_spin_lock' and bpf_spin_lock/unlock() helpers to let
bpf program serialize access to other variables.
Example:
struct hash_elem {
int cnt;
struct bpf_spin_lock lock;
};
struct hash_elem * val = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&hash_map, &key);
if (val) {
bpf_spin_lock(&val->lock);
val->cnt++;
bpf_spin_unlock(&val->lock);
}
Restrictions and safety checks:
- bpf_spin_lock is only allowed inside HASH and ARRAY maps.
- BTF description of the map is mandatory for safety analysis.
- bpf program can take one bpf_spin_lock at a time, since two or more can
cause dead locks.
- only one 'struct bpf_spin_lock' is allowed per map element.
It drastically simplifies implementation yet allows bpf program to use
any number of bpf_spin_locks.
- when bpf_spin_lock is taken the calls (either bpf2bpf or helpers) are not allowed.
- bpf program must bpf_spin_unlock() before return.
- bpf program can access 'struct bpf_spin_lock' only via
bpf_spin_lock()/bpf_spin_unlock() helpers.
- load/store into 'struct bpf_spin_lock lock;' field is not allowed.
- to use bpf_spin_lock() helper the BTF description of map value must be
a struct and have 'struct bpf_spin_lock anyname;' field at the top level.
Nested lock inside another struct is not allowed.
- syscall map_lookup doesn't copy bpf_spin_lock field to user space.
- syscall map_update and program map_update do not update bpf_spin_lock field.
- bpf_spin_lock cannot be on the stack or inside networking packet.
bpf_spin_lock can only be inside HASH or ARRAY map value.
- bpf_spin_lock is available to root only and to all program types.
- bpf_spin_lock is not allowed in inner maps of map-in-map.
- ld_abs is not allowed inside spin_lock-ed region.
- tracing progs and socket filter progs cannot use bpf_spin_lock due to
insufficient preemption checks
Implementation details:
- cgroup-bpf class of programs can nest with xdp/tc programs.
Hence bpf_spin_lock is equivalent to spin_lock_irqsave.
Other solutions to avoid nested bpf_spin_lock are possible.
Like making sure that all networking progs run with softirq disabled.
spin_lock_irqsave is the simplest and doesn't add overhead to the
programs that don't use it.
- arch_spinlock_t is used when its implemented as queued_spin_lock
- archs can force their own arch_spinlock_t
- on architectures where queued_spin_lock is not available and
sizeof(arch_spinlock_t) != sizeof(__u32) trivial lock is used.
- presence of bpf_spin_lock inside map value could have been indicated via
extra flag during map_create, but specifying it via BTF is cleaner.
It provides introspection for map key/value and reduces user mistakes.
Next steps:
- allow bpf_spin_lock in other map types (like cgroup local storage)
- introduce BPF_F_LOCK flag for bpf_map_update() syscall and helper
to request kernel to grab bpf_spin_lock before rewriting the value.
That will serialize access to map elements.

Explicitly forbid creating map of per-cpu cgroup local storages.
This behavior matches the behavior of shared cgroup storages.

As there is one-to-one relation between a bpf program
and cgroup local storage map, there is no sense in
creating a map of cgroup local storage maps.
Forbid it explicitly to avoid possible side effects.

This patch allows userspace to do BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM on
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY,
BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS and
BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS.
The lookup returns a prog-id or map-id to the userspace.
The userspace can then use the BPF_PROG_GET_FD_BY_ID
or BPF_MAP_GET_FD_BY_ID to get a fd.

This patch adds a few helper funcs to enable map-in-map
support (i.e. outer_map->inner_map). The first outer_map type
BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY_OF_MAPS is also added in this patch.
The next patch will introduce a hash of maps type.
Any bpf map type can be acted as an inner_map. The exception
is BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY because the extra level of
indirection makes it harder to verify the owner_prog_type
and owner_jited.
Multi-level map-in-map is not supported (i.e. map->map is ok
but not map->map->map).
When adding an inner_map to an outer_map, it currently checks the
map_type, key_size, value_size, map_flags, max_entries and ops.
The verifier also uses those map's properties to do static analysis.
map_flags is needed because we need to ensure BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
is using a preallocated hashtab for the inner_hash also. ops and
max_entries are needed to generate inlined map-lookup instructions.
For simplicity reason, a simple '==' test is used for both map_flags
and max_entries. The equality of ops is implied by the equality of
map_type.
During outer_map creation time, an inner_map_fd is needed to create an
outer_map. However, the inner_map_fd's life time does not depend on the
outer_map. The inner_map_fd is merely used to initialize
the inner_map_meta of the outer_map.
Also, for the outer_map:
* It allows element update and delete from syscall
* It allows element lookup from bpf_prog
The above is similar to the current fd_array pattern.
