bpf: Allow invoking kfuncs from BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL progs

Currently, a set of core BPF kfuncs (e.g. bpf_task_*, bpf_cgroup_*,
bpf_cpumask_*, etc) cannot be invoked from BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL
programs. The whitelist approach taken for enabling kfuncs makes sense:
it not safe to call these kfuncs from every program type. For example,
it may not be safe to call bpf_task_acquire() in an fentry to
free_task().

BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL, on the other hand, is a perfectly safe program
type from which to invoke these kfuncs, as it's a very controlled
environment, and we should never be able to run into any of the typical
problems such as recursive invoations, acquiring references on freeing
kptrs, etc. Being able to invoke these kfuncs would be useful, as
BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL can be invoked with BPF_PROG_RUN, and would
therefore enable user space programs to synchronously call into BPF to
manipulate these kptrs.

This patch therefore enables invoking the aforementioned core kfuncs
from BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL progs.

bpf: treewide: Annotate BPF kfuncs in BTF

This commit marks kfuncs as such inside the .BTF_ids section. The upshot
of these annotations is that we'll be able to automatically generate
kfunc prototypes for downstream users. The process is as follows:

1. In source, use BTF_KFUNCS_START/END macro pair to mark kfuncs
2. During build, pahole injects into BTF a "bpf_kfunc" BTF_DECL_TAG for
each function inside BTF_KFUNCS sets
3. At runtime, vmlinux or module BTF is made available in sysfs
4. At runtime, bpftool (or similar) can look at provided BTF and
generate appropriate prototypes for functions with "bpf_kfunc" tag

To ensure future kfunc are similarly tagged, we now also return error
inside kfunc registration for untagged kfuncs. For vmlinux kfuncs,
we also WARN(), as initcall machinery does not handle errors.

bpf: Add bpf_cpumask_weight() kfunc

It can be useful to query how many bits are set in a cpumask. For
example, if you want to perform special logic for the last remaining
core that's set in a mask. Let's therefore add a new
bpf_cpumask_weight() kfunc which checks how many bits are set in a mask.

bpf: Add __bpf_kfunc_{start,end}_defs macros

BPF kfuncs are meant to be called from BPF programs. Accordingly, most
kfuncs are not called from anywhere in the kernel, which the
-Wmissing-prototypes warning is unhappy about. We've peppered
__diag_ignore_all("-Wmissing-prototypes", ... everywhere kfuncs are
defined in the codebase to suppress this warning.

This patch adds two macros meant to bound one or many kfunc definitions.
All existing kfunc definitions which use these __diag calls to suppress
-Wmissing-prototypes are migrated to use the newly-introduced macros.
A new __diag_ignore_all - for "-Wmissing-declarations" - is added to the
__bpf_kfunc_start_defs macro based on feedback from Andrii on an earlier
version of this patch [0] and another recent mailing list thread [1].

In the future we might need to ignore different warnings or do other
kfunc-specific things. This change will make it easier to make such
modifications for all kfunc defs.

bpf: Replace bpf_cpumask_any* with bpf_cpumask_any_distribute*

We currently export the bpf_cpumask_any() and bpf_cpumask_any_and()
kfuncs. Intuitively, one would expect these to choose any CPU in the
cpumask, but what they actually do is alias to cpumask_first() and
cpmkas_first_and().

This is useless given that we already export bpf_cpumask_first() and
bpf_cpumask_first_and(), so this patch replaces them with kfuncs that
call cpumask_any_distribute() and cpumask_any_and_distribute(), which
actually choose any CPU from the cpumask (or the AND of two cpumasks for
the latter).

bpf: Add bpf_cpumask_first_and() kfunc

We currently provide bpf_cpumask_first(), bpf_cpumask_any(), and
bpf_cpumask_any_and() kfuncs. bpf_cpumask_any() and
bpf_cpumask_any_and() are confusing misnomers in that they actually just
call cpumask_first() and cpumask_first_and() respectively.

We'll replace them with bpf_cpumask_any_distribute() and
bpf_cpumask_any_distribute_and() kfuncs in a subsequent patch, so let's
ensure feature parity by adding a bpf_cpumask_first_and() kfunc to
account for bpf_cpumask_any_and() being removed.

# 6c831c46 25-Mar-2023 David Vernet <void@manifault.com>

bpf: Treat KF_RELEASE kfuncs as KF_TRUSTED_ARGS

KF_RELEASE kfuncs are not currently treated as having KF_TRUSTED_ARGS,
even though they have a superset of the requirements of KF_TRUSTED_ARGS.
Like KF_TRUSTED_ARGS, KF_RELEASE kfuncs require a 0-offset argument, and
don't allow NULL-able arguments. Unlike KF_TRUSTED_ARGS which require
_either_ an argument with ref_obj_id > 0, _or_ (ref->type &
BPF_REG_TRUSTED_MODIFIERS) (and no unsafe modifiers allowed), KF_RELEASE
only allows for ref_obj_id > 0. Because KF_RELEASE today doesn't
automatically imply KF_TRUSTED_ARGS, some of these requirements are
enforced in different ways that can make the behavior of the verifier
feel unpredictable. For example, a KF_RELEASE kfunc with a NULL-able
argument will currently fail in the verifier with a message like, "arg#0
is ptr_or_null_ expected ptr_ or socket" rather than "Possibly NULL
pointer passed to trusted arg0". Our intention is the same, but the
semantics are different due to implemenetation details that kfunc authors
and BPF program writers should not need to care about.

Let's make the behavior of the verifier more consistent and intuitive by
having KF_RELEASE kfuncs imply the presence of KF_TRUSTED_ARGS. Our
eventual goal is to have all kfuncs assume KF_TRUSTED_ARGS by default
anyways, so this takes us a step in that direction.

Note that it does not make sense to assume KF_TRUSTED_ARGS for all
KF_ACQUIRE kfuncs. KF_ACQUIRE kfuncs can have looser semantics than
KF_RELEASE, with e.g. KF_RCU | KF_RET_NULL. We may want to have
KF_ACQUIRE imply KF_TRUSTED_ARGS _unless_ KF_RCU is specified, but that
can be left to another patch set, and there are no such subtleties to
address for KF_RELEASE.

# 1b403ce7 15-Mar-2023 David Vernet <void@manifault.com>

bpf: Remove bpf_cpumask_kptr_get() kfunc

Now that struct bpf_cpumask is RCU safe, there's no need for this kfunc.
Rather than doing the following:

private(MASK) static struct bpf_cpumask __kptr *global;

int BPF_PROG(prog, s32 cpu, ...)
{
struct bpf_cpumask *cpumask;

bpf_rcu_read_lock();
cpumask = bpf_cpumask_kptr_get(&global);
if (!cpumask) {
bpf_rcu_read_unlock();
return -1;
}
bpf_cpumask_setall(cpumask);
...
bpf_cpumask_release(cpumask);
bpf_rcu_read_unlock();
}

Programs can instead simply do (assume same global cpumask):

int BPF_PROG(prog, ...)
{
struct bpf_cpumask *cpumask;

bpf_rcu_read_lock();
cpumask = global;
if (!cpumask) {
bpf_rcu_read_unlock();
return -1;
}
bpf_cpumask_setall(cpumask);
...
bpf_rcu_read_unlock();
}

In other words, no extra atomic acquire / release, and less boilerplate
code.

This patch removes both the kfunc, as well as its selftests and
documentation.

# 77473d1a 15-Mar-2023 David Vernet <void@manifault.com>

bpf: Free struct bpf_cpumask in call_rcu handler

The struct bpf_cpumask type uses the bpf_mem_cache_{alloc,free}() APIs
to allocate and free its cpumasks. The bpf_mem allocator may currently
immediately reuse some memory when its freed, without waiting for an RCU
read cycle to elapse. We want to be able to treat struct bpf_cpumask
objects as completely RCU safe.

This is necessary for two reasons:

1. bpf_cpumask_kptr_get() currently does an RCU-protected
refcnt_inc_not_zero(). This of course assumes that the underlying
memory is not reused, and is therefore unsafe in its current form.

2. We want to be able to get rid of bpf_cpumask_kptr_get() entirely, and
intead use the superior kptr RCU semantics now afforded by the
verifier.

This patch fixes (1), and enables (2), by making struct bpf_cpumask RCU
safe. A subsequent patch will update the verifier to allow struct
bpf_cpumask * pointers to be passed to KF_RCU kfuncs, and then a latter
patch will remove bpf_cpumask_kptr_get().

bpf: Refactor RCU enforcement in the verifier.

bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock() are only available in clang compiled kernels. Lack
of such key mechanism makes it impossible for sleepable bpf programs to use RCU
pointers.

Allow bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock() in GCC compiled kernels (though GCC doesn't
support btf_type_tag yet) and allowlist certain field dereferences in important
data structures like tast_struct, cgroup, socket that are used by sleepable
programs either as RCU pointer or full trusted pointer (which is valid outside
of RCU CS). Use BTF_TYPE_SAFE_RCU and BTF_TYPE_SAFE_TRUSTED macros for such
tagging. They will be removed once GCC supports btf_type_tag.

With that refactor check_ptr_to_btf_access(). Make it strict in enforcing
PTR_TRUSTED and PTR_UNTRUSTED while deprecating old PTR_TO_BTF_ID without
modifier flags. There is a chance that this strict enforcement might break
existing programs (especially on GCC compiled kernels), but this cleanup has to
start sooner than later. Note PTR_TO_CTX access still yields old deprecated
PTR_TO_BTF_ID. Once it's converted to strict PTR_TRUSTED or PTR_UNTRUSTED the
kfuncs and helpers will be able to default to KF_TRUSTED_ARGS. KF_RCU will
remain as a weaker version of KF_TRUSTED_ARGS where obj refcnt could be 0.

Adjust rcu_read_lock selftest to run on gcc and clang compiled kernels.

# 516f4d33 25-Jan-2023 David Vernet <void@manifault.com>

bpf: Enable cpumasks to be queried and used as kptrs

Certain programs may wish to be able to query cpumasks. For example, if
a program that is tracing percpu operations wishes to track which tasks
end up running on which CPUs, it could be useful to associate that with
the tasks' cpumasks. Similarly, programs tracking NUMA allocations, CPU
scheduling domains, etc, could potentially benefit from being able to
see which CPUs a task could be migrated to.

This patch enables these types of use cases by introducing a series of
bpf_cpumask_* kfuncs. Amongst these kfuncs, there are two separate
"classes" of operations:

1. kfuncs which allow the caller to allocate and mutate their own
cpumask kptrs in the form of a struct bpf_cpumask * object. Such
kfuncs include e.g. bpf_cpumask_create() to allocate the cpumask, and
bpf_cpumask_or() to mutate it. "Regular" cpumasks such as p->cpus_ptr
may not be passed to these kfuncs, and the verifier will ensure this
is the case by comparing BTF IDs.

2. Read-only operations which operate on const struct cpumask *
arguments. For example, bpf_cpumask_test_cpu(), which tests whether a
CPU is set in the cpumask. Any trusted struct cpumask * or struct
bpf_cpumask * may be passed to these kfuncs. The verifier allows
struct bpf_cpumask * even though the kfunc is defined with struct
cpumask * because the first element of a struct bpf_cpumask is a
cpumask_t, so it is safe to cast.

A follow-on patch will add selftests which validate these kfuncs, and
another will document them.
