2016-09-29bpf: allow access into map value arraysJosef Bacik
Suppose you have a map array value that is something like this struct foo { unsigned iter; int array[SOME_CONSTANT]; }; You can easily insert this into an array, but you cannot modify the contents of foo->array[] after the fact. This is because we have no way to verify we won't go off the end of the array at verification time. This patch provides a start for this work. We accomplish this by keeping track of a minimum and maximum value a register could be while we're checking the code. Then at the time we try to do an access into a MAP_VALUE we verify that the maximum offset into that region is a valid access into that memory region. So in practice, code such as this unsigned index = 0; if (foo->iter >= SOME_CONSTANT) foo->iter = index; else index = foo->iter++; foo->array[index] = bar; would be allowed, as we can verify that index will always be between 0 and SOME_CONSTANT-1. If you wish to use signed values you'll have to have an extra check to make sure the index isn't less than 0, or do something like index %= SOME_CONSTANT.

2016-09-21bpf: enable non-core use of the verfierJakub Kicinski
Advanced JIT compilers and translators may want to use eBPF verifier as a base for parsers or to perform custom checks and validations. Add ability for external users to invoke the verifier and provide callbacks to be invoked for every intruction checked. For now only add most basic callback for per-instruction pre-interpretation checks is added. More advanced users may also like to have per-instruction post callback and state comparison callback.

2016-09-21bpf: expose internal verfier structuresJakub Kicinski
Move verifier's internal structures to a header file and prefix their names with bpf_ to avoid potential namespace conflicts. Those structures will soon be used by external analyzers.
