When tracing user functions with uprobe functionality, it's common to
install the probe (e.g., a BPF program) at the first instruction of the
function. This is often going to be `push %rbp` instruction in function
preamble, which means that within that function frame pointer hasn't
been established yet. This leads to consistently missing an actual
caller of the traced function, because perf_callchain_user() only
records current IP (capturing traced function) and then following frame
pointer chain (which would be caller's frame, containing the address of
caller's caller).
So when we have target_1 -> target_2 -> target_3 call chain and we are
tracing an entry to target_3, captured stack trace will report
target_1 -> target_3 call chain, which is wrong and confusing.
This patch proposes a x86-64-specific heuristic to detect `push %rbp`
(`push %ebp` on 32-bit architecture) instruction being traced. Given
entire kernel implementation of user space stack trace capturing works
under assumption that user space code was compiled with frame pointer
register (%rbp/%ebp) preservation, it seems pretty reasonable to use
this instruction as a strong indicator that this is the entry to the
function. In that case, return address is still pointed to by %rsp/%esp,
so we fetch it and add to stack trace before proceeding to unwind the
rest using frame pointer-based logic.
We also check for `endbr64` (for 64-bit modes) as another common pattern
for function entry, as suggested by Josh Poimboeuf. Even if we get this
wrong sometimes for uprobes attached not at the function entry, it's OK
because stack trace will still be overall meaningful, just with one
extra bogus entry. If we don't detect this, we end up with guaranteed to
be missing caller function entry in the stack trace, which is worse
overall.

This change allows events to use PERF_SAMPLE_READ with inherit
so long as PERF_SAMPLE_TID is also set. This enables sample based
profiling of a group of counters over a hierarchy of processes or
threads. This is useful, for example, for collecting per-thread
counters/metrics, event based sampling of multiple counters as a unit,
access to the enabled and running time when using multiplexing and so
on.
Prior to this, users were restricted to either collecting aggregate
statistics for a multi-threaded/-process application (e.g. with
"perf stat"), or to sample individual threads, or to profile the entire
system (which requires root or CAP_PERFMON, and may produce much more
data than is required). Theoretically a tool could poll for or otherwise
monitor thread/process creation and construct whatever events the user
is interested in using perf_event_open, for each new thread or process,
but this is racy, can lead to file-descriptor exhaustion, and ultimately
just replicates the behaviour of inherit, but in userspace.
This configuration differs from inherit without PERF_SAMPLE_READ in that
the accumulated event count, and consequently any sample (such as if
triggered by overflow of sample_period) will be on a per-thread rather
than on an aggregate basis.
The meaning of read_format::value field of both PERF_RECORD_READ and
PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE is changed such that if the sampled event uses this
new configuration then the values reported will be per-thread rather
than the global aggregate value. This is a change from the existing
semantics of read_format (where PERF_SAMPLE_READ is used without
inherit), but it is necessary to expose the per-thread counter values,
and it avoids reinventing a separate "read_format_thread" field that
otherwise replicates the same behaviour. This change should not break
existing tools, since this configuration was not previously valid and
was rejected by the kernel. Tools that opt into this new mode will need
to account for this when calculating the counter delta for a given
sample. Tools that wish to have both the per-thread and aggregate value
can perform the global aggregation themselves from the per-thread
values.
The change to read_format::value does not affect existing valid
perf_event_attr configurations, nor does it change the behaviour of
calls to "read" on an event descriptor. Both continue to report the
aggregate value for the entire thread/process hierarchy. The difference
between the results reported by "read" and PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE in this
new configuration is justified on the basis that it is not (easily)
possible for "read" to target a specific thread (the caller only has
the fd for the original parent event).

nr_pending counts the number of events in the context that
either pending_sigtrap or pending_work, but it is used
to prevent taking the fast path in perf_event_context_sched_out.
Renamed to reflect what it is used for, rather than what it
counts. This change allows using the field to track other
event properties that also require skipping the fast path
without possible confusion over the name.

We currently only allow calling sleepable scx kfuncs (i.e.
scx_bpf_create_dsq()) from BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS progs. The idea here
was that we'd never have to call scx_bpf_create_dsq() outside of a
sched_ext struct_ops callback, but that might not actually be true. For
example, a scheduler could do something like the following:
1. Open and load (not yet attach) a scheduler skel
2. Synchronously call into a BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL prog from user space.
For example, to initialize an LLC domain, or some other global,
read-only state.
3. Attach the skel, which actually enables the scheduler
The advantage of doing this is that it can preclude having to do pretty
ugly boilerplate like initializing a read-only, statically sized array of
u64[]'s which the kernel consumes literally once at init time to then
create struct bpf_cpumask objects which are actually queried at runtime.
Doing the above is already possible given that we can invoke core BPF
kfuncs, such as bpf_cpumask_create(), from BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL progs. We
already allow many scx kfuncs to be called from BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL progs
(e.g. scx_bpf_kick_cpu()). Let's allow the sleepable kfuncs as well.

Cgroup subsystem state (CSS) is an abstraction in the cgroup layer to
help manage different structures in various cgroup subsystems by being
an embedded element inside a larger structure like cpuset or mem_cgroup.
The /proc/cgroups file shows the number of cgroups for each of the
subsystems. With cgroup v1, the number of CSSes is the same as the
number of cgroups. That is not the case anymore with cgroup v2. The
/proc/cgroups file cannot show the actual number of CSSes for the
subsystems that are bound to cgroup v2.
So if a v2 cgroup subsystem is leaking cgroups (usually memory cgroup),
we can't tell by looking at /proc/cgroups which cgroup subsystems may
be responsible.
As cgroup v2 had deprecated the use of /proc/cgroups, the hierarchical
cgroup.stat file is now being extended to show the number of live and
dying CSSes associated with all the non-inhibited cgroup subsystems that
have been bound to cgroup v2. The number includes CSSes in the current
cgroup as well as in all the descendants underneath it. This will help
us pinpoint which subsystems are responsible for the increasing number
of dying (nr_dying_descendants) cgroups.
The CSSes dying counts are stored in the cgroup structure itself
instead of inside the CSS as suggested by Johannes. This will allow
us to accurately track dying counts of cgroup subsystems that have
recently been disabled in a cgroup. It is now possible that a zero
subsystem number is coupled with a non-zero dying subsystem number.
The cgroup-v2.rst file is updated to discuss this new behavior.
With this patch applied, a sample output from root cgroup.stat file
was shown below.

Note that 'debug' controller wasn't used to provide this information because
the controller is not recommended in productions kernels, also many of them
won't enable CONFIG_CGROUP_DEBUG by default.
Similar information could be retrieved with debuggers like drgn but that's
also not always available (e.g. lockdown) and the additional cost of runtime
tracking here is deemed marginal.

Per the example of:
!atomic_cmpxchg(&key->enabled, 0, 1)
the inverse was written as:

except of course, that while !old is only true for old == 0, old is
true for everything except old == 0.
Fix it to read:
atomic_cmpxchg(&key->enabled, 1, 0) == 1
such that only the 1->0 transition returns true and goes on to disable
the keys.

The recent fix for making the take over of the broadcast timer more
reliable retrieves a per CPU pointer in preemptible context.
This went unnoticed as compilers hoist the access into the non-preemptible
region where the pointer is actually used. But of course it's valid that
the compiler keeps it at the place where the code puts it which rightfully
triggers:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code:
caller is hotplug_cpu__broadcast_tick_pull+0x1c/0xc0
Move it to the actual usage site which is in a non-preemptible region.

Currently when a process in a group forks and fails due to it's
parent's max restriction, all the cgroups from 'pids_forking' to root
will generate event notifications but only the cgroups from
'pids_over_limit' to root will increase the counter of PIDCG_MAX.
Consider this scenario: there are 4 groups A, B, C,and D, the
relationships are as follows, and user is watching on C.pids.events.
root->A->B->C->D
When a process in D forks and fails due to B.max restriction, the
user will get a spurious event notification because when he wakes up
and reads C.pids.events, he will find that the content has not changed.
To address this issue, only the cgroups from 'pids_over_limit' to root
will have their PIDCG_MAX counters increased and event notifications
generated.

The function bpf_get_smp_processor_id() is processed in a different
way, depending on the arch:
- on x86 verifier replaces call to bpf_get_smp_processor_id() with a
sequence of instructions that modify only r0;
- on riscv64 jit replaces call to bpf_get_smp_processor_id() with a
sequence of instructions that modify only r0;
- on arm64 jit replaces call to bpf_get_smp_processor_id() with a
sequence of instructions that modify only r0 and tmp registers.
These rewrites satisfy attribute no_caller_saved_registers contract.

GCC and LLVM define a no_caller_saved_registers function attribute.
This attribute means that function scratches only some of
the caller saved registers defined by ABI.
For BPF the set of such registers could be defined as follows:
- R0 is scratched only if function is non-void;
- R1-R5 are scratched only if corresponding parameter type is defined
in the function prototype.
This commit introduces flag bpf_func_prot->allow_nocsr.
If this flag is set for some helper function, verifier assumes that
it follows no_caller_saved_registers calling convention.
The contract between kernel and clang allows to simultaneously use
such functions and maintain backwards compatibility with old
kernels that don't understand no_caller_saved_registers calls
(nocsr for short):
- clang generates a simple pattern for nocsr calls, e.g.:
r1 = 1;
r2 = 2;
*(u64 *)(r10 - 8) = r1;
*(u64 *)(r10 - 16) = r2;
call %[to_be_inlined]
r2 = *(u64 *)(r10 - 16);
r1 = *(u64 *)(r10 - 8);
r0 = r1;
r0 += r2;
exit;
- kernel removes unnecessary spills and fills, if called function is
inlined by verifier or current JIT (with assumption that patch
inserted by verifier or JIT honors nocsr contract, e.g. does not
scratch r3-r5 for the example above), e.g. the code above would be
transformed to:
r1 = 1;
r2 = 2;
call %[to_be_inlined]
r0 = r1;
r0 += r2;
exit;
Technically, the transformation is split into the following phases:
- function mark_nocsr_patterns(), called from bpf_check()
searches and marks potential patterns in instruction auxiliary data;
- upon stack read or write access,
function check_nocsr_stack_contract() is used to verify if
stack offsets, presumably reserved for nocsr patterns, are used
only from those patterns;
- function remove_nocsr_spills_fills(), called from bpf_check(),
applies the rewrite for valid patterns.
See comment in mark_nocsr_pattern_for_call() for more details.

The insn #14 is a sign-extenstion load which is related to 'int i'.
The insn #15 did a subreg comparision. Note that smin=0xffffffff80000000 and this caused later
insn #23 failed verification due to unbounded min value.
Actually insn #15 R1 smin range can be better. Before insn #15, we have
R1_w=scalar(smin=0xffffffff80000000,smax=0x7fffffff)
With the above range, we know for R1, upper 32bit can only be 0xffffffff or 0.
Otherwise, the value range for R1 could be beyond [smin=0xffffffff80000000,smax=0x7fffffff].
After insn #15, for the true patch, we know smin32=0 and smax32=32. With the upper 32bit 0xffffffff,
then the corresponding value is [0xffffffff00000000, 0xffffffff00000020]. The range is
obviously beyond the original range [smin=0xffffffff80000000,smax=0x7fffffff] and the
range is not possible. So the upper 32bit must be 0, which implies smin = smin32 and
smax = smax32.
This patch fixed the issue by adding additional register deduction after 32-bit compare
insn. If the signed 32-bit register range is non-negative then 64-bit smin is
in range of [S32_MIN, S32_MAX], then the actual 64-bit smin/smax should be the same
as 32-bit smin32/smax32.
With this patch, iters/iter_arr_with_actual_elem_count succeeded with better register range:
from 15 to 20: R0=rdonly_mem(id=7,ref_obj_id=2,sz=4) R1_w=scalar(smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=31,var_off=(0x0; 0x1f)) R6=scalar(id=1,smin=umin=smin32=umin32=1,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=32,var_off=(0x0; 0x3f)) R7=scalar(id=9,smin=0,smax=umax=0xffffffff,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff)) R8=scalar(id=9,smin=0,smax=umax=0xffffffff,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff)) R10=fp0 fp-8=iter_num(ref_id=2,state=active,depth=3) refs=2

syzbot reported a kernel crash due to
commit 1f1e864b6555 ("bpf: Handle sign-extenstin ctx member accesses").
The reason is due to sign-extension of 32-bit load for
packet data/data_end/data_meta uapi field.
The original code looks like:
r2 = *(s32 *)(r1 + 76) /* load __sk_buff->data */
r3 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 80) /* load __sk_buff->data_end */
r0 = r2
r0 += 8
if r3 > r0 goto +1
...
Note that __sk_buff->data load has 32-bit sign extension.
After verification and convert_ctx_accesses(), the final asm code looks like:
r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 +208)
r2 = (s32)r2
r3 = *(u64 *)(r1 +80)
r0 = r2
r0 += 8
if r3 > r0 goto pc+1
...
Note that 'r2 = (s32)r2' may make the kernel __sk_buff->data address invalid
which may cause runtime failure.
Currently, in C code, typically we have
void *data = (void *)(long)skb->data;
void *data_end = (void *)(long)skb->data_end;
...
and it will generate
r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 +208)
r3 = *(u64 *)(r1 +80)
r0 = r2
r0 += 8
if r3 > r0 goto pc+1
If we allow sign-extension,
void *data = (void *)(long)(int)skb->data;
void *data_end = (void *)(long)skb->data_end;
...
the generated code looks like
r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 +208)
r2 <<= 32
r2 s>>= 32
r3 = *(u64 *)(r1 +80)
r0 = r2
r0 += 8
if r3 > r0 goto pc+1
and this will cause verification failure since "r2 <<= 32" is not allowed
as "r2" is a packet pointer.
To fix this issue for case
r2 = *(s32 *)(r1 + 76) /* load __sk_buff->data */
this patch added additional checking in is_valid_access() callback
function for packet data/data_end/data_meta access. If those accesses
are with sign-extenstion, the verification will fail.

After checking lsm hook return range in verifier, the test case
"test_progs -t test_lsm" failed, and the failure log says:
libbpf: prog 'test_int_hook': BPF program load failed: Invalid argument
libbpf: prog 'test_int_hook': -- BEGIN PROG LOAD LOG --
0: R1=ctx() R10=fp0

[...]
24: (b4) w0 = -1 ; R0_w=0xffffffff
; int BPF_PROG(test_int_hook, struct vm_area_struct *vma, @ lsm.c:89
25: (95) exit
At program exit the register R0 has smin=4294967295 smax=4294967295 should have been in [-4095, 0]
It can be seen that instruction "w0 = -1" zero extended -1 to 64-bit
register r0, setting both smin and smax values of r0 to 4294967295.
This resulted in a false reject when r0 was checked with range [-4095, 0].
Given bpf lsm does not return 64-bit values, this patch fixes it by changing
the compare between r0 and return range from 64-bit operation to 32-bit
operation for bpf lsm.

bpf progs can be attached to kernel functions, and the attached functions
can take different parameters or return different return values. If
prog attached to one kernel function tail calls prog attached to another
kernel function, the ctx access or return value verification could be
bypassed.
For example, if prog1 is attached to func1 which takes only 1 parameter
and prog2 is attached to func2 which takes two parameters. Since verifier
assumes the bpf ctx passed to prog2 is constructed based on func2's
prototype, verifier allows prog2 to access the second parameter from
the bpf ctx passed to it. The problem is that verifier does not prevent
prog1 from passing its bpf ctx to prog2 via tail call. In this case,
the bpf ctx passed to prog2 is constructed from func1 instead of func2,
that is, the assumption for ctx access verification is bypassed.
Another example, if BPF LSM prog1 is attached to hook file_alloc_security,
and BPF LSM prog2 is attached to hook bpf_lsm_audit_rule_known. Verifier
knows the return value rules for these two hooks, e.g. it is legal for
bpf_lsm_audit_rule_known to return positive number 1, and it is illegal
for file_alloc_security to return positive number. So verifier allows
prog2 to return positive number 1, but does not allow prog1 to return
positive number. The problem is that verifier does not prevent prog1
from calling prog2 via tail call. In this case, prog2's return value 1
will be used as the return value for prog1's hook file_alloc_security.
That is, the return value rule is bypassed.
This patch adds restriction for tail call to prevent such bypasses.

A bpf prog returning a positive number attached to file_alloc_security
hook makes kernel panic.
This happens because file system can not filter out the positive number
returned by the LSM prog using IS_ERR, and misinterprets this positive
number as a file pointer.
Given that hook file_alloc_security never returned positive number
before the introduction of BPF LSM, and other BPF LSM hooks may
encounter similar issues, this patch adds LSM return value check
in verifier, to ensure no unexpected value is returned.

The bpf_tcp_ca struct_ops currently uses a "u32 unsupported_ops[]"
array to track which ops is not supported.
After cfi_stubs had been added, the function pointer in cfi_stubs is
also NULL for the unsupported ops. Thus, the "u32 unsupported_ops[]"
becomes redundant. This observation was originally brought up in the
bpf/cfi discussion:
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/CAADnVQJoEkdjyCEJRPASjBw1QGsKYrF33QdMGc1RZa9b88bAEA@mail.gmail.com/
The recent bpf qdisc patch (https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20240714175130.4051012-6-amery.hung@bytedance.com/)
also needs to specify quite many unsupported ops. It is a good time
to clean it up.
This patch removes the need of "u32 unsupported_ops[]" and tests for null-ness
in the cfi_stubs instead.
Testing the cfi_stubs is done in a new function bpf_struct_ops_supported().
The verifier will call bpf_struct_ops_supported() when loading the
struct_ops program. The ".check_member" is removed from the bpf_tcp_ca
in this patch. ".check_member" could still be useful for other subsytems
to enforce other restrictions (e.g. sched_ext checks for prog->sleepable).
To keep the same error return, ENOTSUPP is used.

Function mark_precise_scalar_ids() is superseded by
bt_sync_linked_regs() and equal scalars tracking in jump history.
mark_precise_scalar_ids() propagates precision over registers sharing
same ID on parent/child state boundaries, while jump history records
allow bt_sync_linked_regs() to propagate same information with
instruction level granularity, which is strictly more precise.
This commit removes mark_precise_scalar_ids() and updates test cases
in progs/verifier_scalar_ids to reflect new verifier behavior.
The tests are updated in the following manner:
- mark_precise_scalar_ids() propagated precision regardless of
presence of conditional jumps, while new jump history based logic
only kicks in when conditional jumps are present.
Hence test cases are augmented with conditional jumps to still
trigger precision propagation.
- As equal scalars tracking no longer relies on parent/child state
boundaries some test cases are no longer interesting,
such test cases are removed, namely:
- precision_same_state and precision_cross_state are superseded by
linked_regs_bpf_k;
- precision_same_state_broken_link and equal_scalars_broken_link
are superseded by linked_regs_broken_link.

Use bpf_verifier_state->jmp_history to track which registers were
updated by find_equal_scalars() (renamed to collect_linked_regs())
when conditional jump was verified. Use recorded information in
backtrack_insn() to propagate precision.
E.g. for the following program:
while verifying instructions
1: r1 = r0 |
2: if r1 < 8 goto ... | push r0,r1 as linked registers in jmp_history
3: if r0 > 16 goto ... | push r0,r1 as linked registers in jmp_history
4: r2 = r10 |
5: r2 += r0 v mark_chain_precision(r0)
while doing mark_chain_precision(r0)
5: r2 += r0 | mark r0 precise
4: r2 = r10 |
3: if r0 > 16 goto ... | mark r0,r1 as precise
2: if r1 < 8 goto ... | mark r0,r1 as precise
1: r1 = r0 v
Technically, do this as follows:
- Use 10 bits to identify each register that gains range because of
sync_linked_regs():
- 3 bits for frame number;
- 6 bits for register or stack slot number;
- 1 bit to indicate if register is spilled.
- Use u64 as a vector of 6 such records + 4 bits for vector length.
- Augment struct bpf_jmp_history_entry with a field 'linked_regs'
representing such vector.
- When doing check_cond_jmp_op() remember up to 6 registers that
gain range because of sync_linked_regs() in such a vector.
- Don't propagate range information and reset IDs for registers that
don't fit in 6-value vector.
- Push a pair {instruction index, linked registers vector}
to bpf_verifier_state->jmp_history.
- When doing backtrack_insn() check if any of recorded linked
registers is currently marked precise, if so mark all linked
registers as precise.
This also requires fixes for two test_verifier tests:
- precise: test 1
- precise: test 2
Both tests contain the following instruction sequence:
19: (bf) r2 = r9 ; R2=scalar(id=3) R9=scalar(id=3)
20: (a5) if r2 < 0x8 goto pc+1 ; R2=scalar(id=3,umin=8)
21: (95) exit
22: (07) r2 += 1 ; R2_w=scalar(id=3+1,...)
23: (bf) r1 = r10 ; R1_w=fp0 R10=fp0
24: (07) r1 += -8 ; R1_w=fp-8
25: (b7) r3 = 0 ; R3_w=0
26: (85) call bpf_probe_read_kernel#113
The call to bpf_probe_read_kernel() at (26) forces r2 to be precise.
Previously, this forced all registers with same id to become precise
immediately when mark_chain_precision() is called.
After this change, the precision is propagated to registers sharing
same id only when 'if' instruction is backtracked.
Hence verification log for both tests is changed:
regs=r2,r9 -> regs=r2 for instructions 25..20.

The TWA_NMI_CURRENT handling very much depends on IRQ_WORK, but that
isn't universally enabled everywhere.
Maybe the IRQ_WORK infrastructure should just be unconditional - x86
ends up indirectly enabling it through unconditionally enabling
PERF_EVENTS, for example. But it also gets enabled by having SMP
support, or even if you just have PRINTK enabled.
But in the meantime TWA_NMI_CURRENT causes tons of build failures on
various odd minimal configs. Which did show up in linux-next, but
despite that nobody bothered to fix it or even inform me until -rc1 was

This is the really old legacy kernel profiling code, which has long
since been obviated by "real profiling" (ie 'prof' and company), and
mainly remains as a source of syzbot reports.
There are anecdotal reports that people still use it for boot-time
profiling, but it's unlikely that such use would care about the old NUMA
optimizations in this code from 2004 (commit ad02973d42: "profile: 512x
Altix timer interrupt livelock fix" in the BK import archive at [1])
So in order to head off future syzbot reports, let's try to simplify
this code and get rid of the per-cpu profile buffers that are quite a
large portion of the complexity footprint of this thing (including CPU
hotplug callbacks etc).
It's unlikely anybody will actually notice, or possibly, as Thomas put
it: "Only people who indulge in nostalgia will notice :)".
That said, if it turns out that this code is actually actively used by
somebody, we can always revert this removal. Thus the "attempt" in the
summary line.
[ Note: in a small nod to "the profiling code can cause NUMA problems",
this also removes the "increment the last entry in the profiling array
on any unknown hits" logic. That would account any program counter in
a module to that single counter location, and might exacerbate any
NUMA cacheline bouncing issues ]
