BACKPORT: bpf: Add SO_KEEPALIVE and related options to bpf_setsockopt
This patch adds support of SO_KEEPALIVE flag and TCP related options
to bpf_setsockopt() routine. This is helpful if we want to enable or tune
TCP keepalive for applications which don't do it in the userspace code.

v3:
  - update kernel-doc in uapi (Nikita Vetoshkin <nekto0n@yandex-team.ru>)

v4:
  - update kernel-doc in tools too (Alexei Starovoitov)
  - add test to selftests (Alexei Starovoitov)

UPSTREAM: bpf: Fix formatting in documentation for BPF helpers
When producing the bpf-helpers.7 man page from the documentation from
the BPF user space header file, rst2man complains:

    <stdin>:2636: (ERROR/3) Unexpected indentation.
    <stdin>:2640: (WARNING/2) Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

Let's fix formatting for the relevant chunk (item list in
bpf_ringbuf_query()'s description), and for a couple other functions.

BACKPORT: bpf: Restore behaviour of CAP_SYS_ADMIN allowing the loading of networking bpf programs
This is a fix for a regression in commit 2c78ee898d8f ("bpf: Implement CAP_BPF").
Before the above commit it was possible to load network bpf programs
with just the CAP_SYS_ADMIN privilege.

The Android bpfloader happens to run in such a configuration (it has
SYS_ADMIN but not NET_ADMIN) and creates maps and loads bpf programs
for later use by Android's netd (which has NET_ADMIN but not SYS_ADMIN).

Fixes: 2c78ee898d8f ("bpf: Implement CAP_BPF")

UPSTREAM: bpf: Set the number of exception entries properly for subprograms
Currently, if a bpf program has more than one subprograms, each program will be
jitted separately. For programs with bpf-to-bpf calls the
prog->aux->num_exentries is not setup properly. For example, with
bpf_iter_netlink.c modified to force one function to be not inlined and with
CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON the following error is seen:
   $ ./test_progs -n 3/3
   ...
   libbpf: failed to load program 'iter/netlink'
   libbpf: failed to load object 'bpf_iter_netlink'
   libbpf: failed to load BPF skeleton 'bpf_iter_netlink': -4007
   test_netlink:FAIL:bpf_iter_netlink__open_and_load skeleton open_and_load failed
   #3/3 netlink:FAIL
The dmesg shows the following errors:
   ex gen bug
which is triggered by the following code in arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:
   if (excnt >= bpf_prog->aux->num_exentries) {
     pr_err("ex gen bug\n");
     return -EFAULT;
   }

This patch fixes the issue by computing proper num_exentries for each
subprogram before calling JIT.

BACKPORT: bpf: Switch most helper return values from 32-bit int to 64-bit long
Switch most of BPF helper definitions from returning int to long. These
definitions are coming from comments in BPF UAPI header and are used to
generate bpf_helper_defs.h (under libbpf) to be later included and used from
BPF programs.

In actual in-kernel implementation, all the helpers are defined as returning
u64, but due to some historical reasons, most of them are actually defined as
returning int in UAPI (usually, to return 0 on success, and negative value on
error).

This actually causes Clang to quite often generate sub-optimal code, because
compiler believes that return value is 32-bit, and in a lot of cases has to be
up-converted (usually with a pair of 32-bit bit shifts) to 64-bit values,
before they can be used further in BPF code.

Besides just "polluting" the code, these 32-bit shifts quite often cause
problems for cases in which return value matters. This is especially the case
for the family of bpf_probe_read_str() functions. There are few other similar
helpers (e.g., bpf_read_branch_records()), in which return value is used by
BPF program logic to record variable-length data and process it. For such
cases, BPF program logic carefully manages offsets within some array or map to
read variable-length data. For such uses, it's crucial for BPF verifier to
track possible range of register values to prove that all the accesses happen
within given memory bounds. Those extraneous zero-extending bit shifts,
inserted by Clang (and quite often interleaved with other code, which makes
the issues even more challenging and sometimes requires employing extra
per-variable compiler barriers), throws off verifier logic and makes it mark
registers as having unknown variable offset. We'll study this pattern a bit
later below.

Another common pattern is to check return of BPF helper for non-zero state to
detect error conditions and attempt alternative actions in such case. Even in
this simple and straightforward case, this 32-bit vs BPF's native 64-bit mode
quite often leads to sub-optimal and unnecessary extra code. We'll look at
this pattern as well.

Clang's BPF target supports two modes of code generation: ALU32, in which it
is capable of using lower 32-bit parts of registers, and no-ALU32, in which
only full 64-bit registers are being used. ALU32 mode somewhat mitigates the
above described problems, but not in all cases.

This patch switches all the cases in which BPF helpers return 0 or negative
error from returning int to returning long. It is shown below that such change
in definition leads to equivalent or better code. No-ALU32 mode benefits more,
but ALU32 mode doesn't degrade or still gets improved code generation.

Another class of cases switched from int to long are bpf_probe_read_str()-like
helpers, which encode successful case as non-negative values, while still
returning negative value for errors.

In all of such cases, correctness is preserved due to two's complement
encoding of negative values and the fact that all helpers return values with
32-bit absolute value. Two's complement ensures that for negative values
higher 32 bits are all ones and when truncated, leave valid negative 32-bit
value with the same value. Non-negative values have upper 32 bits set to zero
and similarly preserve value when high 32 bits are truncated. This means that
just casting to int/u32 is correct and efficient (and in ALU32 mode doesn't
require any extra shifts).

To minimize the chances of regressions, two code patterns were investigated,
as mentioned above. For both patterns, BPF assembly was analyzed in
ALU32/NO-ALU32 compiler modes, both with current 32-bit int return type and
new 64-bit long return type.

Case 1. Variable-length data reading and concatenation. This is quite
ubiquitous pattern in tracing/monitoring applications, reading data like
process's environment variables, file path, etc. In such case, many pieces of
string-like variable-length data are read into a single big buffer, and at the
end of the process, only a part of array containing actual data is sent to
user-space for further processing. This case is tested in test_varlen.c
selftest (in the next patch). Code flow is roughly as follows:

  void *payload = &sample->payload;
  u64 len;

  len = bpf_probe_read_kernel_str(payload, MAX_SZ1, &source_data1);
  if (len <= MAX_SZ1) {
      payload += len;
      sample->len1 = len;
  }
  len = bpf_probe_read_kernel_str(payload, MAX_SZ2, &source_data2);
  if (len <= MAX_SZ2) {
      payload += len;
      sample->len2 = len;
  }
  /* and so on */
  sample->total_len = payload - &sample->payload;
  /* send over, e.g., perf buffer */

There could be two variations with slightly different code generated: when len
is 64-bit integer and when it is 32-bit integer. Both variations were analysed.
BPF assembly instructions between two successive invocations of
bpf_probe_read_kernel_str() were used to check code regressions. Results are
below, followed by short analysis. Left side is using helpers with int return
type, the right one is after the switch to long.

In ALU32 mode, the variant using 64-bit length variable clearly wins and
avoids unnecessary zero-extension bit shifts. In practice, this is even more
important and good, because BPF code won't need to do extra checks to "prove"
that payload/len are within good bounds.

32-bit len is one instruction longer. Clang decided to do 64-to-32 casting
with two bit shifts, instead of equivalent `w1 = w0` assignment. The former
uses extra register. The latter might potentially lose some range information,
but not for 32-bit value. So in this case, verifier infers that r0 is [0, 256]
after check at 18:, and shifting 32 bits left/right keeps that range intact.
We should probably look into Clang's logic and see why it chooses bitshifts
over sub-register assignments for this.

In NO-ALU32 mode, for the case of 64-bit len variable, Clang generates much
superior code, as expected, eliminating unnecessary bit shifts. For 32-bit
len, code is identical.

So overall, only ALU-32 32-bit len case is more-or-less equivalent and the
difference stems from internal Clang decision, rather than compiler lacking
enough information about types.

Case 2. Let's look at the simpler case of checking return result of BPF helper
for errors. The code is very simple:

  long bla;
  if (bpf_probe_read_kenerl(&bla, sizeof(bla), 0))
      return 1;
  else
      return 0;

ALU32 + CHECK (9 insns)                    ALU32 + CHECK (9 insns)
====================================       ====================================
  0:    r1 = r10                             0:    r1 = r10
  1:    r1 += -8                             1:    r1 += -8
  2:    w2 = 8                               2:    w2 = 8
  3:    r3 = 0                               3:    r3 = 0
  4:    call 113                             4:    call 113
  5:    w1 = w0                              5:    r1 = r0
  6:    w0 = 1                               6:    w0 = 1
  7:    if w1 != 0 goto +1 <LBB2_2>          7:    if r1 != 0 goto +1 <LBB2_2>
  8:    w0 = 0                               8:    w0 = 0
0000000000000048 <LBB2_2>:                 0000000000000048 <LBB2_2>:
  9:    exit                                 9:    exit

Almost identical code, the only difference is the use of full register
assignment (r1 = r0) vs half-registers (w1 = w0) in instruction #5. On 32-bit
architectures, new BPF assembly might be slightly less optimal, in theory. But
one can argue that's not a big issue, given that use of full registers is
still prevalent (e.g., for parameter passing).

UPSTREAM: bpf: Support access to bpf map fields
There are multiple use-cases when it's convenient to have access to bpf
map fields, both `struct bpf_map` and map type specific struct-s such as
`struct bpf_array`, `struct bpf_htab`, etc.

For example while working with sock arrays it can be necessary to
calculate the key based on map->max_entries (some_hash % max_entries).
Currently this is solved by communicating max_entries via "out-of-band"
channel, e.g. via additional map with known key to get info about target
map. That works, but is not very convenient and error-prone while
working with many maps.

In other cases necessary data is dynamic (i.e. unknown at loading time)
and it's impossible to get it at all. For example while working with a
hash table it can be convenient to know how much capacity is already
used (bpf_htab.count.counter for BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC case).

At the same time kernel knows this info and can provide it to bpf
program.

Fill this gap by adding support to access bpf map fields from bpf
program for both `struct bpf_map` and map type specific fields.

Support is implemented via btf_struct_access() so that a user can define
their own `struct bpf_map` or map type specific struct in their program
with only necessary fields and preserve_access_index attribute, cast a
map to this struct and use a field.

For example:

	struct bpf_map {
		__u32 max_entries;
	} __attribute__((preserve_access_index));

	struct bpf_array {
		struct bpf_map map;
		__u32 elem_size;
	} __attribute__((preserve_access_index));

	struct {
		__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY);
		__uint(max_entries, 4);
		__type(key, __u32);
		__type(value, __u32);
	} m_array SEC(".maps");

	SEC("cgroup_skb/egress")
	int cg_skb(void *ctx)
	{
		struct bpf_array *array = (struct bpf_array *)&m_array;
		struct bpf_map *map = (struct bpf_map *)&m_array;

		/* .. use map->max_entries or array->map.max_entries .. */
	}

Similarly to other btf_struct_access() use-cases (e.g. struct tcp_sock
in net/ipv4/bpf_tcp_ca.c) the patch allows access to any fields of
corresponding struct. Only reading from map fields is supported.

For btf_struct_access() to work there should be a way to know btf id of
a struct that corresponds to a map type. To get btf id there should be a
way to get a stringified name of map-specific struct, such as
"bpf_array", "bpf_htab", etc for a map type. Two new fields are added to
`struct bpf_map_ops` to handle it:
* .map_btf_name keeps a btf name of a struct returned by map_alloc();
* .map_btf_id is used to cache btf id of that struct.

To make btf ids calculation cheaper they're calculated once while
preparing btf_vmlinux and cached same way as it's done for btf_id field
of `struct bpf_func_proto`

While calculating btf ids, struct names are NOT checked for collision.
Collisions will be checked as a part of the work to prepare btf ids used
in verifier in compile time that should land soon. The only known
collision for `struct bpf_htab` (kernel/bpf/hashtab.c vs
net/core/sock_map.c) was fixed earlier.

Both new fields .map_btf_name and .map_btf_id must be set for a map type
for the feature to work. If neither is set for a map type, verifier will
return ENOTSUPP on a try to access map_ptr of corresponding type. If
just one of them set, it's verifier misconfiguration.

Only `struct bpf_array` for BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY and `struct bpf_htab` for
BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH are supported by this patch. Other map types will be
supported separately.

The feature is available only for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y and gated by
perfmon_capable() so that unpriv programs won't have access to bpf map
fields.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Avoid verifier failure for 32bit pointer arithmetic
When do experiments with llvm (disabling instcombine and
simplifyCFG), I hit the following error with test_seg6_loop.o.

  ; R1=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=48,imm=0), R7=pkt(id=0,off=40,r=48,imm=0)
  w2 = w7
  ; R2_w=inv(id=0,umax_value=4294967295,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff))
  w2 -= w1
  R2 32-bit pointer arithmetic prohibited

The corresponding source code is:
  uint32_t srh_off
  // srh and skb->data are all packet pointers
  srh_off = (char *)srh - (char *)(long)skb->data;

The verifier does not support 32-bit pointer/scalar arithmetic.

Without my llvm change, the code looks like

  ; R3=pkt(id=0,off=40,r=48,imm=0), R8=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=48,imm=0)
  w3 -= w8
  ; R3_w=inv(id=0)

This is explicitly allowed in verifier if both registers are
pointers and the opcode is BPF_SUB.

To fix this problem, I changed the verifier to allow
32-bit pointer/scaler BPF_SUB operations.

At the source level, the issue could be workarounded with
inline asm or changing "uint32_t srh_off" to "uint64_t srh_off".
But I feel that verifier change might be the right thing to do.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Devmap adjust uapi for attach bpf program
V2:
- Defer changing BPF-syscall to start at file-descriptor 1
- Use {} to zero initialise struct.

The recent commit fbee97feed9b ("bpf: Add support to attach bpf program to a
devmap entry"), introduced ability to attach (and run) a separate XDP
bpf_prog for each devmap entry. A bpf_prog is added via a file-descriptor.
As zero were a valid FD, not using the feature requires using value minus-1.
The UAPI is extended via tail-extending struct bpf_devmap_val and using
map->value_size to determine the feature set.

This will break older userspace applications not using the bpf_prog feature.
Consider an old userspace app that is compiled against newer kernel
uapi/bpf.h, it will not know that it need to initialise the member
bpf_prog.fd to minus-1. Thus, users will be forced to update source code to
get program running on newer kernels.

This patch remove the minus-1 checks, and have zero mean feature isn't used.

Followup patches either for kernel or libbpf should handle and avoid
returning file-descriptor zero in the first place.

BACKPORT: bpf: cgroup: Allow multi-attach program to replace itself
When using BPF_PROG_ATTACH to attach a program to a cgroup in
BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI mode, it is not possible to replace a program
with itself. This is because the check for duplicate programs
doesn't take the replacement program into account.

Replacing a program with itself might seem weird, but it has
some uses: first, it allows resetting the associated cgroup storage.
Second, it makes the API consistent with the non-ALLOW_MULTI usage,
where it is possible to replace a program with itself. Third, it
aligns BPF_PROG_ATTACH with bpf_link, where replacing itself is
also supported.

Sice this code has been refactored a few times this change will
only apply to v5.7 and later. Adjustments could be made to
commit 1020c1f24a94 ("bpf: Simplify __cgroup_bpf_attach") and
commit d7bf2c10af ("bpf: allocate cgroup storage entries on attaching bpf programs")
as well as commit 324bda9e6c ("bpf: multi program support for cgroup+bpf")

UPSTREAM: seg6: fix seg6_validate_srh() to avoid slab-out-of-bounds
The seg6_validate_srh() is used to validate SRH for three cases:

case1: SRH of data-plane SRv6 packets to be processed by the Linux kernel.
Case2: SRH of the netlink message received  from user-space (iproute2)
Case3: SRH injected into packets through setsockopt

In case1, the SRH can be encoded in the Reduced way (i.e., first SID is
carried in DA only and not represented as SID in the SRH) and the
seg6_validate_srh() now handles this case correctly.

In case2 and case3, the SRH shouldn’t be encoded in the Reduced way
otherwise we lose the first segment (i.e., the first hop).

The current implementation of the seg6_validate_srh() allow SRH of case2
and case3 to be encoded in the Reduced way. This leads a slab-out-of-bounds
problem.

This patch verifies SRH of case1, case2 and case3. Allowing case1 to be
reduced while preventing SRH of case2 and case3 from being reduced .

UPSTREAM: seg6: fix SRH processing to comply with RFC8754
The Segment Routing Header (SRH) which defines the SRv6 dataplane is defined
in RFC8754.

RFC8754 (section 4.1) defines the SR source node behavior which encapsulates
packets into an outer IPv6 header and SRH. The SR source node encodes the
full list of Segments that defines the packet path in the SRH. Then, the
first segment from list of Segments is copied into the Destination address
of the outer IPv6 header and the packet is sent to the first hop in its path
towards the destination.

If the Segment list has only one segment, the SR source node can omit the SRH
as he only segment is added in the destination address.

RFC8754 (section 4.1.1) defines the Reduced SRH, when a source does not
require the entire SID list to be preserved in the SRH. A reduced SRH does
not contain the first segment of the related SR Policy (the first segment is
the one already in the DA of the IPv6 header), and the Last Entry field is
set to n-2, where n is the number of elements in the SR Policy.

RFC8754 (section 4.3.1.1) defines the SRH processing and the logic to
validate the SRH (S09, S10, S11) which works for both reduced and
non-reduced behaviors.

This patch updates seg6_validate_srh() to validate the SRH as per RFC8754.

UPSTREAM: bpf: Fix up bpf_skb_adjust_room helper's skb csum setting
Lorenz recently reported:

  In our TC classifier cls_redirect [0], we use the following sequence of
  helper calls to decapsulate a GUE (basically IP + UDP + custom header)
  encapsulated packet:

    bpf_skb_adjust_room(skb, -encap_len, BPF_ADJ_ROOM_MAC, BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_FIXED_GSO)
    bpf_redirect(skb->ifindex, BPF_F_INGRESS)

  It seems like some checksums of the inner headers are not validated in
  this case. For example, a TCP SYN packet with invalid TCP checksum is
  still accepted by the network stack and elicits a SYN ACK. [...]

  That is, we receive the following packet from the driver:

    | ETH | IP | UDP | GUE | IP | TCP |
    skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY

  ip_summed is CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY because our NICs do rx checksum offloading.
  On this packet we run skb_adjust_room_mac(-encap_len), and get the following:

    | ETH | IP | TCP |
    skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY

  Note that ip_summed is still CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. After bpf_redirect()'ing
  into the ingress, we end up in tcp_v4_rcv(). There, skb_checksum_init() is
  turned into a no-op due to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.

The bpf_skb_adjust_room() helper is not aware of protocol specifics. Internally,
it handles the CHECKSUM_COMPLETE case via skb_postpull_rcsum(), but that does
not cover CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In this case skb->csum_level of the original
skb prior to bpf_skb_adjust_room() call was 0, that is, covering UDP. Right now
there is no way to adjust the skb->csum_level. NICs that have checksum offload
disabled (CHECKSUM_NONE) or that support CHECKSUM_COMPLETE are not affected.

Use a safe default for CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY by resetting to CHECKSUM_NONE and
add a flag to the helper called BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_NO_CSUM_RESET that allows users
from opting out. Opting out is useful for the case where we don't remove/add
full protocol headers, or for the case where a user wants to adjust the csum
level manually e.g. through bpf_csum_level() helper that is added in subsequent
patch.

The bpf_skb_proto_{4_to_6,6_to_4}() for NAT64/46 translation from the BPF
bpf_skb_change_proto() helper uses bpf_skb_net_hdr_{push,pop}() pair internally
as well but doesn't change layers, only transitions between v4 to v6 and vice
versa, therefore no adoption is required there.

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).

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
 BPF_FUNC_probe_read_user_str
 BPF_FUNC_probe_read_kernel_str
