From d7ba4cc900bf1eea2d8c807c6b1fc6bd61f41237 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: JP Kobryn Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2023 12:47:54 -0700 Subject: bpf: return long from bpf_map_ops funcs This patch changes the return types of bpf_map_ops functions to long, where previously int was returned. Using long allows for bpf programs to maintain the sign bit in the absence of sign extension during situations where inlined bpf helper funcs make calls to the bpf_map_ops funcs and a negative error is returned. The definitions of the helper funcs are generated from comments in the bpf uapi header at `include/uapi/linux/bpf.h`. The return type of these helpers was previously changed from int to long in commit bdb7b79b4ce8. For any case where one of the map helpers call the bpf_map_ops funcs that are still returning 32-bit int, a compiler might not include sign extension instructions to properly convert the 32-bit negative value a 64-bit negative value. For example: bpf assembly excerpt of an inlined helper calling a kernel function and checking for a specific error: ; err = bpf_map_update_elem(&mymap, &key, &val, BPF_NOEXIST); ... 46: call 0xffffffffe103291c ; htab_map_update_elem ; if (err && err != -EEXIST) { 4b: cmp $0xffffffffffffffef,%rax ; cmp -EEXIST,%rax kernel function assembly excerpt of return value from `htab_map_update_elem` returning 32-bit int: movl $0xffffffef, %r9d ... movl %r9d, %eax ...results in the comparison: cmp $0xffffffffffffffef, $0x00000000ffffffef Fixes: bdb7b79b4ce8 ("bpf: Switch most helper return values from 32-bit int to 64-bit long") Tested-by: Eduard Zingerman Signed-off-by: JP Kobryn Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230322194754.185781-3-inwardvessel@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov --- kernel/bpf/stackmap.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'kernel/bpf/stackmap.c') diff --git a/kernel/bpf/stackmap.c b/kernel/bpf/stackmap.c index 0f1d8dced933..b25fce425b2c 100644 --- a/kernel/bpf/stackmap.c +++ b/kernel/bpf/stackmap.c @@ -618,14 +618,14 @@ static int stack_map_get_next_key(struct bpf_map *map, void *key, return 0; } -static int stack_map_update_elem(struct bpf_map *map, void *key, void *value, - u64 map_flags) +static long stack_map_update_elem(struct bpf_map *map, void *key, void *value, + u64 map_flags) { return -EINVAL; } /* Called from syscall or from eBPF program */ -static int stack_map_delete_elem(struct bpf_map *map, void *key) +static long stack_map_delete_elem(struct bpf_map *map, void *key) { struct bpf_stack_map *smap = container_of(map, struct bpf_stack_map, map); struct stack_map_bucket *old_bucket; -- cgit
