UPSTREAM: bpf, cgroup: Return ENOLINK for auto-detached links on update
Failure to update a bpf_link because it has been auto-detached by a dying
cgroup currently results in EINVAL error, even though the arguments passed
to bpf() syscall are not wrong.

bpf_links attaching to netns in this case will return ENOLINK, which
carries the message that the link is no longer attached to anything.

Change cgroup bpf_links to do the same to keep the uAPI errors consistent.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Add link-based BPF program attachment to network namespace
Extend bpf() syscall subcommands that operate on bpf_link, that is
LINK_CREATE, LINK_UPDATE, OBJ_GET_INFO, to accept attach types tied to
network namespaces (only flow dissector at the moment).

Link-based and prog-based attachment can be used interchangeably, but only
one can exist at a time. Attempts to attach a link when a prog is already
attached directly, and the other way around, will be met with -EEXIST.
Attempts to detach a program when link exists result in -EINVAL.

Attachment of multiple links of same attach type to one netns is not
supported with the intention to lift the restriction when a use-case
presents itself. Because of that link create returns -E2BIG when trying to
create another netns link, when one already exists.

Link-based attachments to netns don't keep a netns alive by holding a ref
to it. Instead links get auto-detached from netns when the latter is being
destroyed, using a pernet pre_exit callback.

When auto-detached, link lives in defunct state as long there are open FDs
for it. -ENOLINK is returned if a user tries to update a defunct link.

Because bpf_link to netns doesn't hold a ref to struct net, special care is
taken when releasing, updating, or filling link info. The netns might be
getting torn down when any of these link operations are in progress. That
is why auto-detach and update/release/fill_info are synchronized by the
same mutex. Also, link ops have to always check if auto-detach has not
happened yet and if netns is still alive (refcnt > 0).

BACKPORT: flow_dissector: Move out netns_bpf prog callbacks
Move functions to manage BPF programs attached to netns that are not
specific to flow dissector to a dedicated module named
bpf/net_namespace.c.

The set of functions will grow with the addition of bpf_link support for
netns attached programs. This patch prepares ground by creating a place
for it.

This is a code move with no functional changes intended.

UPSTREAM: net: Introduce netns_bpf for BPF programs attached to netns
In order to:

 (1) attach more than one BPF program type to netns, or
 (2) support attaching BPF programs to netns with bpf_link, or
 (3) support multi-prog attach points for netns

we will need to keep more state per netns than a single pointer like we
have now for BPF flow dissector program.

Prepare for the above by extracting netns_bpf that is part of struct net,
for storing all state related to BPF programs attached to netns.

Turn flow dissector callbacks for querying/attaching/detaching a program
into generic ones that operate on netns_bpf. Next patch will move the
generic callbacks into their own module.

This is similar to how it is organized for cgroup with cgroup_bpf.

UPSTREAM: flow_dissector: Allow updating the flow dissector program atomically
It is currently not possible to detach the flow dissector program and
attach a new one in an atomic fashion, that is with a single syscall.
Attempts to do so will be met with EEXIST error.

This makes updates to flow dissector program hard. Traffic steering that
relies on BPF-powered flow dissection gets disrupted while old program has
been already detached but the new one has not been attached yet.

There is also a window of opportunity to attach a flow dissector to a
non-root namespace while updating the root flow dissector, thus blocking
the update.

Lastly, the behavior is inconsistent with cgroup BPF programs, which can be
replaced with a single bpf(BPF_PROG_ATTACH, ...) syscall without any
restrictions.

Allow attaching a new flow dissector program when another one is already
present with a restriction that it can't be the same program.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Add support to attach bpf program to a devmap entry
Add BPF_XDP_DEVMAP attach type for use with programs associated with a

Allow DEVMAPs to associate a program with a device entry by adding
a bpf_prog.fd to 'struct bpf_devmap_val'. Values read show the program
id, so the fd and id are a union. bpf programs can get access to the
struct via vmlinux.h.

The program associated with the fd must have type XDP with expected
attach type BPF_XDP_DEVMAP. When a program is associated with a device
index, the program is run on an XDP_REDIRECT and before the buffer is
added to the per-cpu queue. At this point rxq data is still valid; the
next patch adds tx device information allowing the prorgam to see both
ingress and egress device indices.

XDP generic is skb based and XDP programs do not work with skb's. Block
the use case by walking maps used by a program that is to be attached
via xdpgeneric and fail if any of them are DEVMAP / DEVMAP_HASH with

Block attach of BPF_XDP_DEVMAP programs to devices.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier support for it
This commit adds a new MPSC ring buffer implementation into BPF ecosystem,
which allows multiple CPUs to submit data to a single shared ring buffer. On
the consumption side, only single consumer is assumed.

Motivation
----------
There are two distinctive motivators for this work, which are not satisfied by
existing perf buffer, which prompted creation of a new ring buffer
implementation.
  - more efficient memory utilization by sharing ring buffer across CPUs;
  - preserving ordering of events that happen sequentially in time, even
  across multiple CPUs (e.g., fork/exec/exit events for a task).

These two problems are independent, but perf buffer fails to satisfy both.
Both are a result of a choice to have per-CPU perf ring buffer.  Both can be
also solved by having an MPSC implementation of ring buffer. The ordering
problem could technically be solved for perf buffer with some in-kernel
counting, but given the first one requires an MPSC buffer, the same solution
would solve the second problem automatically.

Semantics and APIs
------------------
Single ring buffer is presented to BPF programs as an instance of BPF map of
type BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF. Two other alternatives considered, but ultimately
rejected.

One way would be to, similar to BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY, make
BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF could represent an array of ring buffers, but not enforce
"same CPU only" rule. This would be more familiar interface compatible with
existing perf buffer use in BPF, but would fail if application needed more
advanced logic to lookup ring buffer by arbitrary key. HASH_OF_MAPS addresses
this with current approach. Additionally, given the performance of BPF
ringbuf, many use cases would just opt into a simple single ring buffer shared
among all CPUs, for which current approach would be an overkill.

Another approach could introduce a new concept, alongside BPF map, to
represent generic "container" object, which doesn't necessarily have key/value
interface with lookup/update/delete operations. This approach would add a lot
of extra infrastructure that has to be built for observability and verifier
support. It would also add another concept that BPF developers would have to
familiarize themselves with, new syntax in libbpf, etc. But then would really
provide no additional benefits over the approach of using a map.
BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF doesn't support lookup/update/delete operations, but so
doesn't few other map types (e.g., queue and stack; array doesn't support
delete, etc).

The approach chosen has an advantage of re-using existing BPF map
infrastructure (introspection APIs in kernel, libbpf support, etc), being
familiar concept (no need to teach users a new type of object in BPF program),
and utilizing existing tooling (bpftool). For common scenario of using
a single ring buffer for all CPUs, it's as simple and straightforward, as
would be with a dedicated "container" object. On the other hand, by being
a map, it can be combined with ARRAY_OF_MAPS and HASH_OF_MAPS map-in-maps to
implement a wide variety of topologies, from one ring buffer for each CPU
(e.g., as a replacement for perf buffer use cases), to a complicated
application hashing/sharding of ring buffers (e.g., having a small pool of
ring buffers with hashed task's tgid being a look up key to preserve order,
but reduce contention).

Key and value sizes are enforced to be zero. max_entries is used to specify
the size of ring buffer and has to be a power of 2 value.

There are a bunch of similarities between perf buffer
(BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY) and new BPF ring buffer semantics:
  - variable-length records;
  - if there is no more space left in ring buffer, reservation fails, no
    blocking;
  - memory-mappable data area for user-space applications for ease of
    consumption and high performance;
  - epoll notifications for new incoming data;
  - but still the ability to do busy polling for new data to achieve the
    lowest latency, if necessary.

BPF ringbuf provides two sets of APIs to BPF programs:
  - bpf_ringbuf_output() allows to *copy* data from one place to a ring
    buffer, similarly to bpf_perf_event_output();
  - bpf_ringbuf_reserve()/bpf_ringbuf_commit()/bpf_ringbuf_discard() APIs
    split the whole process into two steps. First, a fixed amount of space is
    reserved. If successful, a pointer to a data inside ring buffer data area
    is returned, which BPF programs can use similarly to a data inside
    array/hash maps. Once ready, this piece of memory is either committed or
    discarded. Discard is similar to commit, but makes consumer ignore the
    record.

bpf_ringbuf_output() has disadvantage of incurring extra memory copy, because
record has to be prepared in some other place first. But it allows to submit
records of the length that's not known to verifier beforehand. It also closely
matches bpf_perf_event_output(), so will simplify migration significantly.

bpf_ringbuf_reserve() avoids the extra copy of memory by providing a memory
pointer directly to ring buffer memory. In a lot of cases records are larger
than BPF stack space allows, so many programs have use extra per-CPU array as
a temporary heap for preparing sample. bpf_ringbuf_reserve() avoid this needs
completely. But in exchange, it only allows a known constant size of memory to
be reserved, such that verifier can verify that BPF program can't access
memory outside its reserved record space. bpf_ringbuf_output(), while slightly
slower due to extra memory copy, covers some use cases that are not suitable
for bpf_ringbuf_reserve().

The difference between commit and discard is very small. Discard just marks
a record as discarded, and such records are supposed to be ignored by consumer
code. Discard is useful for some advanced use-cases, such as ensuring
all-or-nothing multi-record submission, or emulating temporary malloc()/free()
within single BPF program invocation.

Each reserved record is tracked by verifier through existing
reference-tracking logic, similar to socket ref-tracking. It is thus
impossible to reserve a record, but forget to submit (or discard) it.

bpf_ringbuf_query() helper allows to query various properties of ring buffer.
Currently 4 are supported:
  - BPF_RB_AVAIL_DATA returns amount of unconsumed data in ring buffer;
  - BPF_RB_RING_SIZE returns the size of ring buffer;
  - BPF_RB_CONS_POS/BPF_RB_PROD_POS returns current logical possition of
    consumer/producer, respectively.
Returned values are momentarily snapshots of ring buffer state and could be
off by the time helper returns, so this should be used only for
debugging/reporting reasons or for implementing various heuristics, that take
into account highly-changeable nature of some of those characteristics.

One such heuristic might involve more fine-grained control over poll/epoll
notifications about new data availability in ring buffer. Together with
BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP/BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP flags for output/commit/discard helpers,
it allows BPF program a high degree of control and, e.g., more efficient
batched notifications. Default self-balancing strategy, though, should be
adequate for most applications and will work reliable and efficiently already.

Design and implementation
-------------------------
This reserve/commit schema allows a natural way for multiple producers, either
on different CPUs or even on the same CPU/in the same BPF program, to reserve
independent records and work with them without blocking other producers. This
means that if BPF program was interruped by another BPF program sharing the
same ring buffer, they will both get a record reserved (provided there is
enough space left) and can work with it and submit it independently. This
applies to NMI context as well, except that due to using a spinlock during
reservation, in NMI context, bpf_ringbuf_reserve() might fail to get a lock,
in which case reservation will fail even if ring buffer is not full.

The ring buffer itself internally is implemented as a power-of-2 sized
circular buffer, with two logical and ever-increasing counters (which might
wrap around on 32-bit architectures, that's not a problem):
  - consumer counter shows up to which logical position consumer consumed the
    data;
  - producer counter denotes amount of data reserved by all producers.

Each time a record is reserved, producer that "owns" the record will
successfully advance producer counter. At that point, data is still not yet
ready to be consumed, though. Each record has 8 byte header, which contains
the length of reserved record, as well as two extra bits: busy bit to denote
that record is still being worked on, and discard bit, which might be set at
commit time if record is discarded. In the latter case, consumer is supposed
to skip the record and move on to the next one. Record header also encodes
record's relative offset from the beginning of ring buffer data area (in
pages). This allows bpf_ringbuf_commit()/bpf_ringbuf_discard() to accept only
the pointer to the record itself, without requiring also the pointer to ring
buffer itself. Ring buffer memory location will be restored from record
metadata header. This significantly simplifies verifier, as well as improving
API usability.

Producer counter increments are serialized under spinlock, so there is
a strict ordering between reservations. Commits, on the other hand, are
completely lockless and independent. All records become available to consumer
in the order of reservations, but only after all previous records where
already committed. It is thus possible for slow producers to temporarily hold
off submitted records, that were reserved later.

Reservation/commit/consumer protocol is verified by litmus tests in
Documentation/litmus-test/bpf-rb.

One interesting implementation bit, that significantly simplifies (and thus
speeds up as well) implementation of both producers and consumers is how data
area is mapped twice contiguously back-to-back in the virtual memory. This
allows to not take any special measures for samples that have to wrap around
at the end of the circular buffer data area, because the next page after the
last data page would be first data page again, and thus the sample will still
appear completely contiguous in virtual memory. See comment and a simple ASCII
diagram showing this visually in bpf_ringbuf_area_alloc().

Another feature that distinguishes BPF ringbuf from perf ring buffer is
a self-pacing notifications of new data being availability.
bpf_ringbuf_commit() implementation will send a notification of new record
being available after commit only if consumer has already caught up right up
to the record being committed. If not, consumer still has to catch up and thus
will see new data anyways without needing an extra poll notification.
Benchmarks (see tools/testing/selftests/bpf/benchs/bench_ringbuf.c) show that
this allows to achieve a very high throughput without having to resort to
tricks like "notify only every Nth sample", which are necessary with perf
buffer. For extreme cases, when BPF program wants more manual control of
notifications, commit/discard/output helpers accept BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP and
BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP flags, which give full control over notifications of data
availability, but require extra caution and diligence in using this API.

Comparison to alternatives
--------------------------
Before considering implementing BPF ring buffer from scratch existing
alternatives in kernel were evaluated, but didn't seem to meet the needs. They
largely fell into few categores:
  - per-CPU buffers (perf, ftrace, etc), which don't satisfy two motivations
    outlined above (ordering and memory consumption);
  - linked list-based implementations; while some were multi-producer designs,
    consuming these from user-space would be very complicated and most
    probably not performant; memory-mapping contiguous piece of memory is
    simpler and more performant for user-space consumers;
  - io_uring is SPSC, but also requires fixed-sized elements. Naively turning
    SPSC queue into MPSC w/ lock would have subpar performance compared to
    locked reserve + lockless commit, as with BPF ring buffer. Fixed sized
    elements would be too limiting for BPF programs, given existing BPF
    programs heavily rely on variable-sized perf buffer already;
  - specialized implementations (like a new printk ring buffer, [0]) with lots
    of printk-specific limitations and implications, that didn't seem to fit
    well for intended use with BPF programs.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Extend bpf_base_func_proto helpers with probe_* and *current_task*
Often it is useful when applying policy to know something about the
task. If the administrator has CAP_SYS_ADMIN rights then they can
use kprobe + networking hook and link the two programs together to
accomplish this. However, this is a bit clunky and also means we have
to call both the network program and kprobe program when we could just
use a single program and avoid passing metadata through sk_msg/skb->cb,
socket, maps, etc.

To accomplish this add probe_* helpers to bpf_base_func_proto programs
guarded by a perfmon_capable() check. New supported helpers are the
following,

 BPF_FUNC_get_current_task
 BPF_FUNC_probe_read_user
 BPF_FUNC_probe_read_kernel

UPSTREAM: bpf: Fix a verifier issue when assigning 32bit reg states to 64bit ones
With the latest trunk llvm (llvm 11), I hit a verifier issue for
test_prog subtest test_verif_scale1.

The following simplified example illustrate the issue:
    w9 = 0  /* R9_w=inv0 */
    r8 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 80)  /* __sk_buff->data_end */
    r7 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 76)  /* __sk_buff->data */
    ......
    w2 = w9 /* R2_w=inv0 */
    r6 = r7 /* R6_w=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=0,imm=0) */
    r6 += r2 /* R6_w=inv(id=0) */
    r3 = r6 /* R3_w=inv(id=0) */
    r3 += 14 /* R3_w=inv(id=0) */
    if r3 > r8 goto end
    r5 = *(u32 *)(r6 + 0) /* R6_w=inv(id=0) */
       <== error here: R6 invalid mem access 'inv'
    ...
  end:

In real test_verif_scale1 code, "w9 = 0" and "w2 = w9" are in
different basic blocks.

In the above, after "r6 += r2", r6 becomes a scalar, which eventually
caused the memory access error. The correct register state should be
a pkt pointer.

The inprecise register state starts at "w2 = w9".
The 32bit register w9 is 0, in __reg_assign_32_into_64(),
the 64bit reg->smax_value is assigned to be U32_MAX.
The 64bit reg->smin_value is 0 and the 64bit register
itself remains constant based on reg->var_off.

In adjust_ptr_min_max_vals(), the verifier checks for a known constant,
smin_val must be equal to smax_val. Since they are not equal,
the verifier decides r6 is a unknown scalar, which caused later failure.

The llvm10 does not have this issue as it generates different code:
    w9 = 0  /* R9_w=inv0 */
    r8 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 80)  /* __sk_buff->data_end */
    r7 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 76)  /* __sk_buff->data */
    ......
    r6 = r7 /* R6_w=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=0,imm=0) */
    r6 += r9 /* R6_w=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=0,imm=0) */
    r3 = r6 /* R3_w=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=0,imm=0) */
    r3 += 14 /* R3_w=pkt(id=0,off=14,r=0,imm=0) */
    if r3 > r8 goto end
    ...

To fix the above issue, we can include zero in the test condition for
assigning the s32_max_value and s32_min_value to their 64-bit equivalents
smax_value and smin_value.

Further, fix the condition to avoid doing zero extension bounds checks
when s32_min_value <= 0. This could allow for the case where bounds
32-bit bounds (-1,1) get incorrectly translated to (0,1) 64-bit bounds.
When in-fact the -1 min value needs to force U32_MAX bound.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Verifier track null pointer branch_taken with JNE and JEQ
Currently, when considering the branches that may be taken for a jump
instruction if the register being compared is a pointer the verifier
assumes both branches may be taken. But, if the jump instruction
is comparing if a pointer is NULL we have this information in the
verifier encoded in the reg->type so we can do better in these cases.
Specifically, these two common cases can be handled.

 * If the instruction is BPF_JEQ and we are comparing against a
   zero value. This test is 'if ptr == 0 goto +X' then using the
   type information in reg->type we can decide if the ptr is not
   null. This allows us to avoid pushing both branches onto the
   stack and instead only use the != 0 case. For example
   PTR_TO_SOCK and PTR_TO_SOCK_OR_NULL encode the null pointer.
   Note if the type is PTR_TO_SOCK_OR_NULL we can not learn anything.
   And also if the value is non-zero we learn nothing because it
   could be any arbitrary value a different pointer for example

 * If the instruction is BPF_JNE and ware comparing against a zero
   value then a similar analysis as above can be done. The test in
   asm looks like 'if ptr != 0 goto +X'. Again using the type
   information if the non null type is set (from above PTR_TO_SOCK)
   we know the jump is taken.

In this patch we extend is_branch_taken() to consider this extra
information and to return only the branch that will be taken. This
resolves a verifier issue reported with C code like the following.
See progs/test_sk_lookup_kern.c in selftests.

 sk = bpf_sk_lookup_tcp(skb, tuple, tuple_len, BPF_F_CURRENT_NETNS, 0);
 bpf_printk("sk=%d\n", sk ? 1 : 0);
 if (sk)
   bpf_sk_release(sk);
 return sk ? TC_ACT_OK : TC_ACT_UNSPEC;

In the above the bpf_printk() will resolve the pointer from
PTR_TO_SOCK_OR_NULL to PTR_TO_SOCK. Then the second test guarding
the release will cause the verifier to walk both paths resulting
in the an unreleased sock reference. See verifier/ref_tracking.c
in selftests for an assembly version of the above.

After the above additional logic is added the C code above passes
as expected.

BACKPORT: bpf: Prevent mmap()'ing read-only maps as writable
As discussed in [0], it's dangerous to allow mapping BPF map, that's meant to
be frozen and is read-only on BPF program side, because that allows user-space
to actually store a writable view to the page even after it is frozen. This is
exacerbated by BPF verifier making a strong assumption that contents of such
frozen map will remain unchanged. To prevent this, disallow mapping
BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG mmap()'able BPF maps as writable, ever.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Add get{peer, sock}name attach types for sock_addr
As stated in 983695fa67 ("bpf: fix unconnected udp hooks"), the objective
for the existing cgroup connect/sendmsg/recvmsg/bind BPF hooks is to be
transparent to applications. In Cilium we make use of these hooks [0] in
order to enable E-W load balancing for existing Kubernetes service types
for all Cilium managed nodes in the cluster. Those backends can be local
or remote. The main advantage of this approach is that it operates as close
as possible to the socket, and therefore allows to avoid packet-based NAT
given in connect/sendmsg/recvmsg hooks we only need to xlate sock addresses.

This also allows to expose NodePort services on loopback addresses in the
host namespace, for example. As another advantage, this also efficiently
blocks bind requests for applications in the host namespace for exposed
ports. However, one missing item is that we also need to perform reverse
xlation for inet{,6}_getname() hooks such that we can return the service
IP/port tuple back to the application instead of the remote peer address.

The vast majority of applications does not bother about getpeername(), but
in a few occasions we've seen breakage when validating the peer's address
since it returns unexpectedly the backend tuple instead of the service one.
Therefore, this trivial patch allows to customise and adds a getpeername()
as well as getsockname() BPF cgroup hook for both IPv4 and IPv6 in order
to address this situation.

Simple example:

  # ./cilium/cilium service list
  ID   Frontend     Service Type   Backend
  1    1.2.3.4:80   ClusterIP      1 => 10.0.0.10:80

Before; curl's verbose output example, no getpeername() reverse xlation:

  # curl --verbose 1.2.3.4
  * Rebuilt URL to: 1.2.3.4/
  *   Trying 1.2.3.4...
  * TCP_NODELAY set
  * Connected to 1.2.3.4 (10.0.0.10) port 80 (#0)
  > GET / HTTP/1.1
  > Host: 1.2.3.4
  > User-Agent: curl/7.58.0
  > Accept: */*
  [...]

After; with getpeername() reverse xlation:

  # curl --verbose 1.2.3.4
  * Rebuilt URL to: 1.2.3.4/
  *   Trying 1.2.3.4...
  * TCP_NODELAY set
  * Connected to 1.2.3.4 (1.2.3.4) port 80 (#0)
  > GET / HTTP/1.1
  >  Host: 1.2.3.4
  > User-Agent: curl/7.58.0
  > Accept: */*
  [...]

Originally, I had both under a BPF_CGROUP_INET{4,6}_GETNAME type and exposed
peer to the context similar as in inet{,6}_getname() fashion, but API-wise
this is suboptimal as it always enforces programs having to test for ctx->peer
which can easily be missed, hence BPF_CGROUP_INET{4,6}_GET{PEER,SOCK}NAME split.
Similarly, the checked return code is on tnum_range(1, 1), but if a use case
comes up in future, it can easily be changed to return an error code instead.
Helper and ctx member access is the same as with connect/sendmsg/etc hooks.

BACKPORT: bpf: Fix too large copy from user in bpf_test_init
Commit bc56c919fce7 ("bpf: Add xdp.frame_sz in bpf_prog_test_run_xdp().")
recently changed bpf_prog_test_run_xdp() to use larger frames for XDP in
order to test tail growing frames (via bpf_xdp_adjust_tail) and to have
memory backing frame better resemble drivers.

The commit contains a bug, as it tries to copy the max data size from
userspace, instead of the size provided by userspace.  This cause XDP
unit tests to fail sporadically with EFAULT, an unfortunate behavior.
The fix is to only copy the size specified by userspace.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Fix check_return_code to only allow [0,1] in trace_iter progs
As per 15d83c4d7cef ("bpf: Allow loading of a bpf_iter program") we only
allow a range of [0,1] for return codes. Therefore BPF_TRACE_ITER relies
on the default tnum_range(0, 1) which is set in range var. On recent merge
of net into net-next commit e92888c72fbd ("bpf: Enforce returning 0 for
fentry/fexit progs") got pulled in and caused a merge conflict with the
changes from 15d83c4d7cef. The resolution had a snall hiccup in that it
removed the [0,1] range restriction again so that BPF_TRACE_ITER would
have no enforcement. Fix it by adding it back.

BACKPORT: bpf: Implement CAP_BPF
Implement permissions as stated in uapi/linux/capability.h
In order to do that the verifier allow_ptr_leaks flag is split
into four flags and they are set as:
  env->allow_ptr_leaks = bpf_allow_ptr_leaks();
  env->bypass_spec_v1 = bpf_bypass_spec_v1();
  env->bypass_spec_v4 = bpf_bypass_spec_v4();
  env->bpf_capable = bpf_capable();

The first three currently equivalent to perfmon_capable(), since leaking kernel
pointers and reading kernel memory via side channel attacks is roughly
equivalent to reading kernel memory with cap_perfmon.

'bpf_capable' enables bounded loops, precision tracking, bpf to bpf calls and
other verifier features. 'allow_ptr_leaks' enable ptr leaks, ptr conversions,
subtraction of pointers. 'bypass_spec_v1' disables speculative analysis in the
verifier, run time mitigations in bpf array, and enables indirect variable
access in bpf programs. 'bypass_spec_v4' disables emission of sanitation code
by the verifier.

That means that the networking BPF program loaded with CAP_BPF + CAP_NET_ADMIN
will have speculative checks done by the verifier and other spectre mitigation
applied. Such networking BPF program will not be able to leak kernel pointers
and will not be able to access arbitrary kernel memory.

UPSTREAM: bpf, capability: Introduce CAP_BPF
Split BPF operations that are allowed under CAP_SYS_ADMIN into
combination of CAP_BPF, CAP_PERFMON, CAP_NET_ADMIN.
For backward compatibility include them in CAP_SYS_ADMIN as well.

The end result provides simple safety model for applications that use BPF:
- to load tracing program types
  BPF_PROG_TYPE_{KPROBE, TRACEPOINT, PERF_EVENT, RAW_TRACEPOINT, etc}
  use CAP_BPF and CAP_PERFMON
- to load networking program types
  BPF_PROG_TYPE_{SCHED_CLS, XDP, SK_SKB, etc}
  use CAP_BPF and CAP_NET_ADMIN

There are few exceptions from this rule:
- bpf_trace_printk() is allowed in networking programs, but it's using
  tracing mechanism, hence this helper needs additional CAP_PERFMON
  if networking program is using this helper.
- BPF_F_ZERO_SEED flag for hash/lru map is allowed under CAP_SYS_ADMIN only
  to discourage production use.
- BPF HW offload is allowed under CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
- bpf_probe_write_user() is allowed under CAP_SYS_ADMIN only.

CAPs are not checked at attach/detach time with two exceptions:
- loading BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB is allowed for unprivileged users,
  hence CAP_NET_ADMIN is required at attach time.
- flow_dissector detach doesn't check prog FD at detach,
  hence CAP_NET_ADMIN is required at detach time.

CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required to iterate BPF objects (progs, maps, links) via get_next_id
command and convert them to file descriptor via GET_FD_BY_ID command.
This restriction guarantees that mutliple tasks with CAP_BPF are not able to
affect each other. That leads to clean isolation of tasks. For example:
task A with CAP_BPF and CAP_NET_ADMIN loads and attaches a firewall via bpf_link.
task B with the same capabilities cannot detach that firewall unless
task A explicitly passed link FD to task B via scm_rights or bpffs.
CAP_SYS_ADMIN can still detach/unload everything.

Two networking user apps with CAP_SYS_ADMIN and CAP_NET_ADMIN can
accidentely mess with each other programs and maps.
Two networking user apps with CAP_NET_ADMIN and CAP_BPF cannot affect each other.

CAP_NET_ADMIN + CAP_BPF allows networking programs access only packet data.
Such networking progs cannot access arbitrary kernel memory or leak pointers.

bpftool, bpftrace, bcc tools binaries should NOT be installed with
CAP_BPF and CAP_PERFMON, since unpriv users will be able to read kernel secrets.
But users with these two permissions will be able to use these tracing tools.

CAP_PERFMON is least secure, since it allows kprobes and kernel memory access.
CAP_NET_ADMIN can stop network traffic via iproute2.
CAP_BPF is the safest from security point of view and harmless on its own.

Having CAP_BPF and/or CAP_NET_ADMIN is not enough to write into arbitrary map
and if that map is used by firewall-like bpf prog.
CAP_BPF allows many bpf prog_load commands in parallel. The verifier
may consume large amount of memory and significantly slow down the system.

Existing unprivileged BPF operations are not affected.
In particular unprivileged users are allowed to load socket_filter and cg_skb
program types and to create array, hash, prog_array, map-in-map map types.

UPSTREAM: capabilities: Introduce CAP_PERFMON to kernel and user space
Introduce the CAP_PERFMON capability designed to secure system
performance monitoring and observability operations so that CAP_PERFMON
can assist CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in its governing role for
performance monitoring and observability subsystems.

CAP_PERFMON hardens system security and integrity during performance
monitoring and observability operations by decreasing attack surface that
is available to a CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileged process [2]. Providing the access
to system performance monitoring and observability operations under CAP_PERFMON
capability singly, without the rest of CAP_SYS_ADMIN credentials, excludes
chances to misuse the credentials and makes the operation more secure.

Thus, CAP_PERFMON implements the principle of least privilege for
performance monitoring and observability operations (POSIX IEEE 1003.1e:
2.2.2.39 principle of least privilege: A security design principle that
  states that a process or program be granted only those privileges
(e.g., capabilities) necessary to accomplish its legitimate function,
and only for the time that such privileges are actually required)

CAP_PERFMON meets the demand to secure system performance monitoring and
observability operations for adoption in security sensitive, restricted,
multiuser production environments (e.g. HPC clusters, cloud and virtual compute
environments), where root or CAP_SYS_ADMIN credentials are not available to
mass users of a system, and securely unblocks applicability and scalability
of system performance monitoring and observability operations beyond root
and CAP_SYS_ADMIN use cases.

CAP_PERFMON takes over CAP_SYS_ADMIN credentials related to system performance
monitoring and observability operations and balances amount of CAP_SYS_ADMIN
credentials following the recommendations in the capabilities man page [1]
for CAP_SYS_ADMIN: "Note: this capability is overloaded; see Notes to kernel
developers, below." For backward compatibility reasons access to system
performance monitoring and observability subsystems of the kernel remains
open for CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileged processes but CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability
usage for secure system performance monitoring and observability operations
is discouraged with respect to the designed CAP_PERFMON capability.

Although the software running under CAP_PERFMON can not ensure avoidance
of related hardware issues, the software can still mitigate these issues
following the official hardware issues mitigation procedure [2]. The bugs
in the software itself can be fixed following the standard kernel development
process [3] to maintain and harden security of system performance monitoring
and observability operations.

Specifically add the expected reserved tailroom, but also allocated a
larger memory area to reflect that XDP frames usually comes in this
format. Limit the provided packet data size to 4096 minus headroom +
tailroom, as this also reflect a common 3520 bytes MTU limit with XDP.

Note that bpf_test_init already use a memory allocation method that clears
memory.  Thus, this already guards against leaking uninit kernel memory.

UPSTREAM: xdp: Add frame size to xdp_buff
XDP have evolved to support several frame sizes, but xdp_buff was not
updated with this information. The frame size (frame_sz) member of
xdp_buff is introduced to know the real size of the memory the frame is
delivered in.

When introducing this also make it clear that some tailroom is
reserved/required when creating SKBs using build_skb().

It would also have been an option to introduce a pointer to
data_hard_end (with reserved offset). The advantage with frame_sz is
that (like rxq) drivers only need to setup/assign this value once per
NAPI cycle. Due to XDP-generic (and some drivers) it's not possible to
store frame_sz inside xdp_rxq_info, because it's varies per packet as it
can be based/depend on packet length.

With this change we no-longer lie about the SKB truesize, but more
importantly a significant larger skb_tailroom is now provided, e.g. when
drivers uses a full PAGE_SIZE. This extra tailroom (in linear area) can be
used by the network stack when coalescing SKBs (e.g. in skb_try_coalesce,
see TCP cases where tcp_queue_rcv() can 'eat' skb).

UPSTREAM: xdp: Xdp_frame add member frame_sz and handle in convert_to_xdp_frame
Use hole in struct xdp_frame, when adding member frame_sz, which keeps
same sizeof struct (32 bytes)

Drivers ixgbe and sfc had bug cases where the necessary/expected
tailroom was not reserved. This can lead to some hard to catch memory
corruption issues. Having the drivers frame_sz this can be detected when
packet length/end via xdp->data_end exceed the xdp_data_hard_end
pointer, which accounts for the reserved the tailroom.

When detecting this driver issue, simply fail the conversion with NULL,
which results in feedback to driver (failing xdp_do_redirect()) causing
driver to drop packet. Given the lack of consistent XDP stats, this can
be hard to troubleshoot. And given this is a driver bug, we want to
generate some more noise in form of a WARN stack dump (to ID the driver
code that inlined convert_to_xdp_frame).

Inlining the WARN macro is problematic, because it adds an asm
instruction (on Intel CPUs ud2) what influence instruction cache
prefetching. Thus, introduce xdp_warn and macro XDP_WARN, to avoid this
and at the same time make identifying the function and line of this
inlined function easier.

BACKPORT: bpf: Introduce bpf_sk_{, ancestor_}cgroup_id helpers
With having ability to lookup sockets in cgroup skb programs it becomes
useful to access cgroup id of retrieved sockets so that policies can be
implemented based on origin cgroup of such socket.

For example, a container running in a cgroup can have cgroup skb ingress
program that can lookup peer socket that is sending packets to a process
inside the container and decide whether those packets should be allowed
or denied based on cgroup id of the peer.

More specifically such ingress program can implement intra-host policy
"allow incoming packets only from this same container and not from any
other container on same host" w/o relying on source IP addresses since
quite often it can be the case that containers share same IP address on
the host.

Introduce two new helpers for this use-case: bpf_sk_cgroup_id() and
bpf_sk_ancestor_cgroup_id().

These helpers are similar to existing bpf_skb_{,ancestor_}cgroup_id
helpers with the only difference that sk is used to get cgroup id
instead of skb, and share code with them.

See documentation in UAPI for more details.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Fix bpf_iter's task iterator logic
task_seq_get_next might stop prematurely if get_pid_task() fails to get
task_struct. Failure to do so doesn't mean that there are no more tasks with
higher pids. Procfs's iteration algorithm (see next_tgid in fs/proc/base.c)
does a retry in such case. After this fix, instead of stopping prematurely
after about 300 tasks on my server, bpf_iter program now returns >4000, which
sounds much closer to reality.

Fixes: eaaacd23910f ("bpf: Add task and task/file iterator targets")
