bpf: Add a bpf_snprintf helper

2021-04-19T22:27:36+00:00

The implementation takes inspiration from the existing bpf_trace_printk helper but there are a few differences: To allow for a large number of format-specifiers, parameters are provided in an array, like in bpf_seq_printf. Because the output string takes two arguments and the array of parameters also takes two arguments, the format string needs to fit in one argument. Thankfully, ARG_PTR_TO_CONST_STR is guaranteed to point to a zero-terminated read-only map so we don't need a format string length arg. Because the format-string is known at verification time, we also do a first pass of format string validation in the verifier logic. This makes debugging easier.

sock_map: Introduce BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT

2021-04-01T17:56:14+00:00

Reusing BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_VERDICT is possible but its name is confusing and more importantly we still want to distinguish them from user-space. So we can just reuse the stream verdict code but introduce a new type of eBPF program, skb_verdict. Users are not allowed to attach stream_verdict and skb_verdict programs to the same map.

bpf: Support bpf program calling kernel function

2021-03-27T03:41:51+00:00

This patch adds support to BPF verifier to allow bpf program calling kernel function directly. The use case included in this set is to allow bpf-tcp-cc to directly call some tcp-cc helper functions (e.g. "tcp_cong_avoid_ai()"). Those functions have already been used by some kernel tcp-cc implementations. This set will also allow the bpf-tcp-cc program to directly call the kernel tcp-cc implementation, For example, a bpf_dctcp may only want to implement its own dctcp_cwnd_event() and reuse other dctcp_*() directly from the kernel tcp_dctcp.c instead of reimplementing (or copy-and-pasting) them. The tcp-cc kernel functions mentioned above will be white listed for the struct_ops bpf-tcp-cc programs to use in a later patch. The white listed functions are not bounded to a fixed ABI contract. Those functions have already been used by the existing kernel tcp-cc. If any of them has changed, both in-tree and out-of-tree kernel tcp-cc implementations have to be changed. The same goes for the struct_ops bpf-tcp-cc programs which have to be adjusted accordingly. This patch is to make the required changes in the bpf verifier. First change is in btf.c, it adds a case in "btf_check_func_arg_match()". When the passed in "btf->kernel_btf == true", it means matching the verifier regs' states with a kernel function. This will handle the PTR_TO_BTF_ID reg. It also maps PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON, PTR_TO_SOCKET, and PTR_TO_TCP_SOCK to its kernel's btf_id. In the later libbpf patch, the insn calling a kernel function will look like: insn->code == (BPF_JMP | BPF_CALL) insn->src_reg == BPF_PSEUDO_KFUNC_CALL /* <- new in this patch */ insn->imm == func_btf_id /* btf_id of the running kernel */ [ For the future calling function-in-kernel-module support, an array of module btf_fds can be passed at the load time and insn->off can be used to index into this array. ] At the early stage of verifier, the verifier will collect all kernel function calls into "struct bpf_kfunc_desc". Those descriptors are stored in "prog->aux->kfunc_tab" and will be available to the JIT. Since this "add" operation is similar to the current "add_subprog()" and looking for the same insn->code, they are done together in the new "add_subprog_and_kfunc()". In the "do_check()" stage, the new "check_kfunc_call()" is added to verify the kernel function call instruction: 1. Ensure the kernel function can be used by a particular BPF_PROG_TYPE. A new bpf_verifier_ops "check_kfunc_call" is added to do that. The bpf-tcp-cc struct_ops program will implement this function in a later patch. 2. Call "btf_check_kfunc_args_match()" to ensure the regs can be used as the args of a kernel function. 3. Mark the regs' type, subreg_def, and zext_dst. At the later do_misc_fixups() stage, the new fixup_kfunc_call() will replace the insn->imm with the function address (relative to __bpf_call_base). If needed, the jit can find the btf_func_model by calling the new bpf_jit_find_kfunc_model(prog, insn). With the imm set to the function address, "bpftool prog dump xlated" will be able to display the kernel function calls the same way as it displays other bpf helper calls. gpl_compatible program is required to call kernel function. This feature currently requires JIT. The verifier selftests are adjusted because of the changes in the verbose log in add_subprog_and_kfunc().
