4 daysbpf: Fix oob access in cgroup local storageDaniel Borkmann
Lonial reported that an out-of-bounds access in cgroup local storage can be crafted via tail calls. Given two programs each utilizing a cgroup local storage with a different value size, and one program doing a tail call into the other. The verifier will validate each of the indivial programs just fine. However, in the runtime context the bpf_cg_run_ctx holds an bpf_prog_array_item which contains the BPF program as well as any cgroup local storage flavor the program uses. Helpers such as bpf_get_local_storage() pick this up from the runtime context: ctx = container_of(current->bpf_ctx, struct bpf_cg_run_ctx, run_ctx); storage = ctx->prog_item->cgroup_storage[stype]; if (stype == BPF_CGROUP_STORAGE_SHARED) ptr = &READ_ONCE(storage->buf)->data[0]; else ptr = this_cpu_ptr(storage->percpu_buf); For the second program which was called from the originally attached one, this means bpf_get_local_storage() will pick up the former program's map, not its own. With mismatching sizes, this can result in an unintended out-of-bounds access. To fix this issue, we need to extend bpf_map_owner with an array of storage_cookie[] to match on i) the exact maps from the original program if the second program was using bpf_get_local_storage(), or ii) allow the tail call combination if the second program was not using any of the cgroup local storage maps.

Given this is only relevant for BPF tail call maps, it is adding up space and penalizing other map types. We also need to extend this with further objects to track / compare to.

2025-07-03bpf: Add dump_stack() analogue to print to BPF stderrKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
Introduce a kernel function which is the analogue of dump_stack() printing some useful information and the stack trace. This is not exposed to BPF programs yet, but can be made available in the future. When we have a program counter for a BPF program in the stack trace, also additionally output the filename and line number to make the trace helpful. The rest of the trace can be passed into ./decode_stacktrace.sh to obtain the line numbers for kernel symbols.

2025-07-03bpf: Add function to find program from stack traceKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
In preparation of figuring out the closest program that led to the current point in the kernel, implement a function that scans through the stack trace and finds out the closest BPF program when walking down the stack trace. Special care needs to be taken to skip over kernel and BPF subprog frames. We basically scan until we find a BPF main prog frame. The assumption is that if a program calls into us transitively, we'll hit it along the way. If not, we end up returning NULL. Contextually the function will be used in places where we know the program may have called into us. Due to reliance on arch_bpf_stack_walk(), this function only works on x86 with CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC, arm64, and s390. Remove the warning from arch_bpf_stack_walk as well since we call it outside bpf_throw() context.

2025-07-03bpf: Introduce BPF standard streamsKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
Add support for a stream API to the kernel and expose related kfuncs to BPF programs. Two streams are exposed, BPF_STDOUT and BPF_STDERR. These can be used for printing messages that can be consumed from user space, thus it's similar in spirit to existing trace_pipe interface. The kernel will use the BPF_STDERR stream to notify the program of any errors encountered at runtime. BPF programs themselves may use both streams for writing debug messages. BPF library-like code may use BPF_STDERR to print warnings or errors on misuse at runtime. The implementation of a stream is as follows. Everytime a message is emitted from the kernel (directly, or through a BPF program), a record is allocated by bump allocating from per-cpu region backed by a page obtained using alloc_pages_nolock(). This ensures that we can allocate memory from any context. The eventual plan is to discard this scheme in favor of Alexei's kmalloc_nolock() [0]. This record is then locklessly inserted into a list (llist_add()) so that the printing side doesn't require holding any locks, and works in any context. Each stream has a maximum capacity of 4MB of text, and each printed message is accounted against this limit. Messages from a program are emitted using the bpf_stream_vprintk kfunc, which takes a stream_id argument in addition to working otherwise similar to bpf_trace_vprintk. The bprintf buffer helpers are extracted out to be reused for printing the string into them before copying it into the stream, so that we can (with the defined max limit) format a string and know its true length before performing allocations of the stream element. For consuming elements from a stream, we expose a bpf(2) syscall command named BPF_PROG_STREAM_READ_BY_FD, which allows reading data from the stream of a given prog_fd into a user space buffer. The main logic is implemented in bpf_stream_read(). The log messages are queued in bpf_stream::log by the bpf_stream_vprintk kfunc, and then pulled and ordered correctly in the stream backlog. For this purpose, we hold a lock around bpf_stream_backlog_peek(), as llist_del_first() (if we maintained a second lockless list for the backlog) wouldn't be safe from multiple threads anyway. Then, if we fail to find something in the backlog log, we splice out everything from the lockless log, and place it in the backlog log, and then return the head of the backlog. Once the full length of the element is consumed, we will pop it and free it. The lockless list bpf_stream::log is a LIFO stack. Elements obtained using a llist_del_all() operation are in LIFO order, thus would break the chronological ordering if printed directly. Hence, this batch of messages is first reversed. Then, it is stashed into a separate list in the stream, i.e. the backlog_log. The head of this list is the actual message that should always be returned to the caller. All of this is done in bpf_stream_backlog_fill(). From the kernel side, the writing into the stream will be a bit more involved than the typical printk. First, the kernel typically may print a collection of messages into the stream, and parallel writers into the stream may suffer from interleaving of messages. To ensure each group of messages is visible atomically, we can lift the advantage of using a lockless list for pushing in messages. To enable this, we add a bpf_stream_stage() macro, and require kernel users to use bpf_stream_printk statements for the passed expression to write into the stream. Underneath the macro, we have a message staging API, where a bpf_stream_stage object on the stack accumulates the messages being printed into a local llist_head, and then a commit operation splices the whole batch into the stream's lockless log list. This is especially pertinent for rqspinlock deadlock messages printed to program streams. After this change, we see each deadlock invocation as a non-interleaving contiguous message without any confusion on the reader's part, improving their user experience in debugging the fault. While programs cannot benefit from this staged stream writing API, they could just as well hold an rqspinlock around their print statements to serialize messages, hence this is kept kernel-internal for now. Overall, this infrastructure provides NMI-safe any context printing of messages to two dedicated streams. Later patches will add support for printing splats in case of BPF arena page faults, rqspinlock deadlocks, and cond_break timeouts, and integration of this facility into bpftool for dumping messages to user space.

2025-06-09bpf, arm64, powerpc: Add bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v1/v4()Luis Gerhorst
JITs can set bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v1/v4() if they want the verifier to skip analysis/patching for the respective vulnerability. For v4, this will reduce the number of barriers the verifier inserts. For v1, it allows more programs to be accepted. The primary motivation for this is to not regress unpriv BPF's performance on ARM64 in a future commit where BPF_NOSPEC is also used against Spectre v1. This has the user-visible change that v1-induced rejections on non-vulnerable PowerPC CPUs are avoided. For now, this does not change the semantics of BPF_NOSPEC. It is still a v4-only barrier and must not be implemented if bypass_spec_v4 is always true for the arch. Changing it to a v1 AND v4-barrier is done in a future commit. As an alternative to bypass_spec_v1/v4, one could introduce NOSPEC_V1 AND NOSPEC_V4 instructions and allow backends to skip their lowering as suggested by commit f5e81d111750 ("bpf: Introduce BPF nospec instruction for mitigating Spectre v4"). Adding bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v1/v4() was found to be preferable for the following reason: * bypass_spec_v1/v4 benefits non-vulnerable CPUs: Always performing the same analysis (not taking into account whether the current CPU is vulnerable), needlessly restricts users of CPUs that are not vulnerable. The only use case for this would be portability-testing, but this can later be added easily when needed by allowing users to force bypass_spec_v1/v4 to false. * Portability is still acceptable: Directly disabling the analysis instead of skipping the lowering of BPF_NOSPEC(_V1/V4) might allow programs on non-vulnerable CPUs to be accepted while the program will be rejected on vulnerable CPUs. With the fallback to speculation barriers for Spectre v1 implemented in a future commit, this will only affect programs that do variable stack-accesses or are very complex. For PowerPC, the SEC_FTR checking in bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v4() is based on the check that was previously located in the BPF_NOSPEC case. For LoongArch, it would likely be safe to set both bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v1() and _v4() according to commit a6f6a95f2580 ("LoongArch, bpf: Fix jit to skip speculation barrier opcode"). This is omitted here as I am unable to do any testing for LoongArch. Hari's ack concerns the PowerPC part only.

Some BPF maps in production consume Gbytes of preallocated memory. Top 5 in Meta: 1.5G, 1.2G, 1.1G, 300M, 200M. Once we have kmalloc that works in any context BPF map preallocation won't be necessary. How: Synchronous kmalloc/page alloc stack has multiple stages going from fast to slow: cmpxchg16 -> slab_alloc -> new_slab -> alloc_pages -> rmqueue_pcplist -> __rmqueue, where rmqueue_pcplist was already relying on trylock. This set changes rmqueue_bulk/rmqueue_buddy to attempt a trylock and return ENOMEM if alloc_flags & ALLOC_TRYLOCK. It then wraps this functionality into try_alloc_pages() helper. We make sure that the logic is sane in PREEMPT_RT. End result: try_alloc_pages()/free_pages_nolock() are safe to call from any context. try_kmalloc() for any context with similar trylock approach will follow. It will use try_alloc_pages() when slab needs a new page. Though such try_kmalloc/page_alloc() is an opportunistic allocator, this design ensures that the probability of successful allocation of small objects (up to one page in size) is high.

This is a qspinlock variant which recovers the kernel from a stalled state when the lock acquisition path cannot make forward progress. This can occur when a lock acquisition attempt enters a deadlock situation (e.g. AA, or ABBA), or more generally, when the owner of the lock (which we’re trying to acquire) isn’t making forward progress. Deadlock detection is the main mechanism used to provide instant recovery, with the timeout mechanism acting as a final line of defense. Detection is triggered immediately when beginning the waiting loop of a lock slow path. Additionally, BPF programs attached to different parts of the kernel can introduce new control flow into the kernel, which increases the likelihood of deadlocks in code not written to handle reentrancy. There have been multiple syzbot reports surfacing deadlocks in internal kernel code due to the diverse ways in which BPF programs can be attached to different parts of the kernel. By switching the BPF subsystem’s lock usage to rqspinlock, all of these issues are mitigated at runtime. This spin lock implementation allows BPF maps to become safer and remove mechanisms that have fallen short in assuring safety when nesting programs in arbitrary ways in the same context or across different contexts. We run benchmarks that stress locking scalability and perform comparison against the baseline (qspinlock). For the rqspinlock case, we replace the default qspinlock with it in the kernel, such that all spin locks in the kernel use the rqspinlock slow path. As such, benchmarks that stress kernel spin locks end up exercising rqspinlock.

2025-03-19bpf: Implement verifier support for rqspinlockKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
Introduce verifier-side support for rqspinlock kfuncs. The first step is allowing bpf_res_spin_lock type to be defined in map values and allocated objects, so BTF-side is updated with a new BPF_RES_SPIN_LOCK field to recognize and validate. Any object cannot have both bpf_spin_lock and bpf_res_spin_lock, only one of them (and at most one of them per-object, like before) must be present. The bpf_res_spin_lock can also be used to protect objects that require lock protection for their kfuncs, like BPF rbtree and linked list. The verifier plumbing to simulate success and failure cases when calling the kfuncs is done by pushing a new verifier state to the verifier state stack which will verify the failure case upon calling the kfunc. The path where success is indicated creates all lock reference state and IRQ state (if necessary for irqsave variants). In the case of failure, the state clears the registers r0-r5, sets the return value, and skips kfunc processing, proceeding to the next instruction. When marking the return value for success case, the value is marked as 0, and for the failure case as [-MAX_ERRNO, -1]. Then, in the program, whenever user checks the return value as 'if (ret)' or 'if (ret < 0)' the verifier never traverses such branches for success cases, and would be aware that the lock is not held in such cases. We push the kfunc state in check_kfunc_call whenever rqspinlock kfuncs are invoked. We introduce a kfunc_class state to avoid mixing lock irqrestore kfuncs with IRQ state created by bpf_local_irq_save. With all this infrastructure, these kfuncs become usable in programs while satisfying all safety properties required by the kernel.

2025-03-19bpf: Introduce rqspinlock kfuncsKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
Introduce four new kfuncs, bpf_res_spin_lock, and bpf_res_spin_unlock, and their irqsave/irqrestore variants, which wrap the rqspinlock APIs. bpf_res_spin_lock returns a conditional result, depending on whether the lock was acquired (NULL is returned when lock acquisition succeeds, non-NULL upon failure). The memory pointed to by the returned pointer upon failure can be dereferenced after the NULL check to obtain the error code. Instead of using the old bpf_spin_lock type, introduce a new type with the same layout, and the same alignment, but a different name to avoid type confusion. Preemption is disabled upon successful lock acquisition, however IRQs are not. Special kfuncs can be introduced later to allow disabling IRQs when taking a spin lock. Resilient locks are safe against AA deadlocks, hence not disabling IRQs currently does not allow violation of kernel safety. __irq_flag annotation is used to accept IRQ flags for the IRQ-variants, with the same semantics as existing bpf_local_irq_{save, restore}. These kfuncs will require additional verifier-side support in subsequent commits, to allow programs to hold multiple locks at the same time.

2025-03-15bpf: Introduce load-acquire and store-release instructionsPeilin Ye
Introduce BPF instructions with load-acquire and store-release semantics, as discussed in [1]. Define 2 new flags: #define BPF_LOAD_ACQ 0x100 #define BPF_STORE_REL 0x110 A "load-acquire" is a BPF_STX | BPF_ATOMIC instruction with the 'imm' field set to BPF_LOAD_ACQ (0x100). Similarly, a "store-release" is a BPF_STX | BPF_ATOMIC instruction with the 'imm' field set to BPF_STORE_REL (0x110). Unlike existing atomic read-modify-write operations that only support BPF_W (32-bit) and BPF_DW (64-bit) size modifiers, load-acquires and store-releases also support BPF_B (8-bit) and BPF_H (16-bit). As an exception, however, 64-bit load-acquires/store-releases are not supported on 32-bit architectures (to fix a build error reported by the kernel test robot). An 8- or 16-bit load-acquire zero-extends the value before writing it to a 32-bit register, just like ARM64 instruction LDARH and friends. Similar to existing atomic read-modify-write operations, misaligned load-acquires/store-releases are not allowed (even if BPF_F_ANY_ALIGNMENT is set). As an example, consider the following 64-bit load-acquire BPF instruction (assuming little-endian): db 10 00 00 00 01 00 00 r0 = load_acquire((u64 *)(r1 + 0x0)) opcode (0xdb): BPF_ATOMIC | BPF_DW | BPF_STX imm (0x00000100): BPF_LOAD_ACQ Similarly, a 16-bit BPF store-release: cb 21 00 00 10 01 00 00 store_release((u16 *)(r1 + 0x0), w2) opcode (0xcb): BPF_ATOMIC | BPF_H | BPF_STX imm (0x00000110): BPF_STORE_REL In arch/{arm64,s390,x86}/net/bpf_jit_comp.c, have bpf_jit_supports_insn(..., /*in_arena=*/true) return false for the new instructions, until the corresponding JIT compiler supports them in arena.

2025-03-15bpf: Add verifier support for timed may_gotoKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
Implement support in the verifier for replacing may_goto implementation from a counter-based approach to one which samples time on the local CPU to have a bigger loop bound. We implement it by maintaining 16-bytes per-stack frame, and using 8 bytes for maintaining the count for amortizing time sampling, and 8 bytes for the starting timestamp. To minimize overhead, we need to avoid spilling and filling of registers around this sequence, so we push this cost into the time sampling function 'arch_bpf_timed_may_goto'. This is a JIT-specific wrapper around bpf_check_timed_may_goto which returns us the count to store into the stack through BPF_REG_AX. All caller-saved registers (r0-r5) are guaranteed to remain untouched. The loop can be broken by returning count as 0, otherwise we dispatch into the function when the count drops to 0, and the runtime chooses to refresh it (by returning count as BPF_MAX_TIMED_LOOPS) or returning 0 and aborting the loop on next iteration. Since the check for 0 is done right after loading the count from the stack, all subsequent cond_break sequences should immediately break as well, of the same loop or subsequent loops in the program. We pass in the stack_depth of the count (and thus the timestamp, by adding 8 to it) to the arch_bpf_timed_may_goto call so that it can be passed in to bpf_check_timed_may_goto as an argument after r1 is saved, by adding the offset to r10/fp. This adjustment will be arch specific, and the next patch will introduce support for x86. Note that depending on loop complexity, time spent in the loop can be more than the current limit (250 ms), but imposing an upper bound on program runtime is an orthogonal problem which will be addressed when program cancellations are supported. The current time afforded by cond_break may not be enough for cases where BPF programs want to implement locking algorithms inline, and use cond_break as a promise to the verifier that they will eventually terminate. Below are some benchmarking numbers on the time taken per-iteration for an empty loop that counts the number of iterations until cond_break fires. For comparison, we compare it against bpf_for/bpf_repeat which is another way to achieve the same number of spins (BPF_MAX_LOOPS). The hardware used for benchmarking was a Sapphire Rapids Intel server with performance governor enabled, mitigations were enabled. +-----------------------------+--------------+--------------+------------------+ | Loop type | Iterations | Time (ms) | Time/iter (ns) | +-----------------------------|--------------+--------------+------------------+ | may_goto | 8388608 | 3 | 0.36 | | timed_may_goto (count=65535)| 589674932 | 250 | 0.42 | | bpf_for | 8388608 | 10 | 1.19 | +-----------------------------+--------------+--------------+------------------+ This gives a good approximation at low overhead while staying close to the current implementation.

2025-03-15bpf: Summarize sleepable global subprogsKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
The verifier currently does not permit global subprog calls when a lock is held, preemption is disabled, or when IRQs are disabled. This is because we don't know whether the global subprog calls sleepable functions or not. In case of locks, there's an additional reason: functions called by the global subprog may hold additional locks etc. The verifier won't know while verifying the global subprog whether it was called in context where a spin lock is already held by the program. Perform summarization of the sleepable nature of a global subprog just like changes_pkt_data and then allow calls to global subprogs for non-sleepable ones from atomic context. While making this change, I noticed that RCU read sections had no protection against sleepable global subprog calls, include it in the checks and fix this while we're at it. Care needs to be taken to not allow global subprog calls when regular bpf_spin_lock is held. When resilient spin locks is held, we want to potentially have this check relaxed, but not for now. Also make sure extensions freplacing global functions cannot do so in case the target is non-sleepable, but the extension is. The other combination is ok. Tests are included in the next patch to handle all special conditions.

2025-02-17bpf: Support getting referenced kptr from struct_ops argumentAmery Hung
Allows struct_ops programs to acqurie referenced kptrs from arguments by directly reading the argument. The verifier will acquire a reference for struct_ops a argument tagged with "__ref" in the stub function in the beginning of the main program. The user will be able to access the referenced kptr directly by reading the context as long as it has not been released by the program. This new mechanism to acquire referenced kptr (compared to the existing "kfunc with KF_ACQUIRE") is introduced for ergonomic and semantic reasons. In the first use case, Qdisc_ops, an skb is passed to .enqueue in the first argument. This mechanism provides a natural way for users to get a referenced kptr in the .enqueue struct_ops programs and makes sure that a qdisc will always enqueue or drop the skb.

2024-12-13bpf: Revert "bpf: Mark raw_tp arguments with PTR_MAYBE_NULL"Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
This patch reverts commit cb4158ce8ec8 ("bpf: Mark raw_tp arguments with PTR_MAYBE_NULL"). The patch was well-intended and meant to be as a stop-gap fixing branch prediction when the pointer may actually be NULL at runtime. Eventually, it was supposed to be replaced by an automated script or compiler pass detecting possibly NULL arguments and marking them accordingly. However, it caused two main issues observed for production programs and failed to preserve backwards compatibility. First, programs relied on the verifier not exploring == NULL branch when pointer is not NULL, thus they started failing with a 'dereference of scalar' error. Next, allowing raw_tp arguments to be modified surfaced the warning in the verifier that warns against reg->off when PTR_MAYBE_NULL is set. More information, context, and discusson on both problems is available in [0]. Overall, this approach had several shortcomings, and the fixes would further complicate the verifier's logic, and the entire masking scheme would have to be removed eventually anyway. Hence, revert the patch in preparation of a better fix avoiding these issues to replace this commit.

2024-12-10bpf: Fix theoretical prog_array UAF in __uprobe_perf_func()Jann Horn
Currently, the pointer stored in call->prog_array is loaded in __uprobe_perf_func(), with no RCU annotation and no immediately visible RCU protection, so it looks as if the loaded pointer can immediately be dangling. Later, bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe() starts a RCU-trace read-side critical section, but this is too late. It then uses rcu_dereference_check(), but this use of rcu_dereference_check() does not actually dereference anything. Fix it by aligning the semantics to bpf_prog_run_array(): Let the caller provide rcu_read_lock_trace() protection and then load call->prog_array with rcu_dereference_check(). This issue seems to be theoretical: I don't know of any way to reach this code without having handle_swbp() further up the stack, which is already holding a rcu_read_lock_trace() lock, so where we take rcu_read_lock_trace() in __uprobe_perf_func()/bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe() doesn't actually have any effect.

2024-11-12bpf: Add kernel symbol for struct_ops trampolineXu Kuohai
Without kernel symbols for struct_ops trampoline, the unwinder may produce unexpected stacktraces. For example, the x86 ORC and FP unwinders check if an IP is in kernel text by verifying the presence of the IP's kernel symbol. When a struct_ops trampoline address is encountered, the unwinder stops due to the absence of symbol, resulting in an incomplete stacktrace that consists only of direct and indirect child functions called from the trampoline. The arm64 unwinder is another example. While the arm64 unwinder can proceed across a struct_ops trampoline address, the corresponding symbol name is displayed as "unknown", which is confusing. Thus, add kernel symbol for struct_ops trampoline. The name is bpf__<struct_ops_name>_<member_name>, where <struct_ops_name> is the type name of the struct_ops, and <member_name> is the name of the member that the trampoline is linked to.

2024-11-12bpf: Support private stack for struct_ops progsYonghong Song
For struct_ops progs, whether a particular prog uses private stack depends on prog->aux->priv_stack_requested setting before actual insn-level verification for that prog. One particular implementation is to piggyback on struct_ops->check_member(). The next patch has an example for this. The struct_ops->check_member() sets prog->aux->priv_stack_requested to be true which enables private stack usage. The struct_ops prog follows the same rule as kprobe/tracing progs after function bpf_enable_priv_stack(). For example, even a struct_ops prog requests private stack, it could still use normal kernel stack if the stack size is small (< 64 bytes). Similar to tracing progs, nested same cpu same prog run will be skipped. A field (recursion_detected()) is added to bpf_prog_aux structure. If bpf_prog->aux->recursion_detected is implemented by the struct_ops subsystem and nested same cpu/prog happens, the function will be triggered to report an error, collect related info, etc. Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song <yonghong.song@linux.dev> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241112163933.2224962-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

See below an illustration: ---> memory address increasing [8 bytes to protect overflow] [normal stack] [8 bytes to protect underflow] If overflow/underflow is detected, kernel messages will be emited in dmesg like BPF private stack overflow/underflow detected for prog Fx BPF Private stack overflow/underflow detected for prog bpf_prog_a41699c234a1567a_subprog1x Those messages are generated when I made some changes to jitted code to intentially cause overflow for some progs. For the jited prog, The x86 register 9 (X86_REG_R9) is used to replace bpf frame register (BPF_REG_10). The private stack is used per subprog per cpu. The X86_REG_R9 is saved and restored around every func call (not including tailcall) to maintain correctness of X86_REG_R9.

2024-11-12bpf: Enable private stack for eligible subprogsYonghong Song
If private stack is used by any subprog, set that subprog prog->aux->jits_use_priv_stack to be true so later jit can allocate private stack for that subprog properly. Also set env->prog->aux->jits_use_priv_stack to be true if any subprog uses private stack. This is a use case for a single main prog (no subprogs) to use private stack, and also a use case for later struct-ops progs where env->prog->aux->jits_use_priv_stack will enable recursion check if any subprog uses private stack.

2024-11-04bpf: Mark raw_tp arguments with PTR_MAYBE_NULLKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
Arguments to a raw tracepoint are tagged as trusted, which carries the semantics that the pointer will be non-NULL. However, in certain cases, a raw tracepoint argument may end up being NULL. More context about this issue is available in [0]. Thus, there is a discrepancy between the reality, that raw_tp arguments can actually be NULL, and the verifier's knowledge, that they are never NULL, causing explicit NULL checks to be deleted, and accesses to such pointers potentially crashing the kernel. To fix this, mark raw_tp arguments as PTR_MAYBE_NULL, and then special case the dereference and pointer arithmetic to permit it, and allow passing them into helpers/kfuncs; these exceptions are made for raw_tp programs only. Ensure that we don't do this when ref_obj_id > 0, as in that case this is an acquired object and doesn't need such adjustment. The reason we do mask_raw_tp_trusted_reg logic is because other will recheck in places whether the register is a trusted_reg, and then consider our register as untrusted when detecting the presence of the PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag. To allow safe dereference, we enable PROBE_MEM marking when we see loads into trusted pointers with PTR_MAYBE_NULL. While trusted raw_tp arguments can also be passed into helpers or kfuncs where such broken assumption may cause issues, a future patch set will tackle their case separately, as PTR_TO_BTF_ID (without PTR_TRUSTED) can already be passed into helpers and causes similar problems. Thus, they are left alone for now. It is possible that these checks also permit passing non-raw_tp args that are trusted PTR_TO_BTF_ID with null marking. In such a case, allowing dereference when pointer is NULL expands allowed behavior, so won't regress existing programs, and the case of passing these into helpers is the same as above and will be dealt with later. Also update the failure case in tp_btf_nullable selftest to capture the new behavior, as the verifier will no longer cause an error when directly dereference a raw tracepoint argument marked as __nullable.

2024-11-01bpf: decouple BPF link/attach hook and BPF program sleepable semanticsAndrii Nakryiko
BPF link's lifecycle protection scheme depends on both BPF hook and BPF program. If *either* of those require RCU Tasks Trace GP, then we need to go through a chain of GPs before putting BPF program refcount and deallocating BPF link memory. This patch adds bpf_link-specific sleepable flag, which can be set to true even if underlying BPF program is not sleepable itself. If either link->sleepable or link->prog->sleepable is true, we'll go through a chain of RCU Tasks Trace GP and RCU GP before putting BPF program and freeing memory. This will be used to protect BPF link for sleepable (faultable) raw tracepoints in the next patch.

2024-10-24bpf: Add uptr support in the map_value of the task local storage.Martin KaFai Lau
This patch adds uptr support in the map_value of the task local storage. struct map_value { struct user_data __uptr *uptr; }; struct { __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_TASK_STORAGE); __uint(map_flags, BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC); __type(key, int); __type(value, struct value_type); } datamap SEC(".maps"); A new bpf_obj_pin_uptrs() is added to pin the user page and also stores the kernel address back to the uptr for the bpf prog to use later. It currently does not support the uptr pointing to a user struct across two pages. It also excludes PageHighMem support to keep it simple. As of now, the 32bit bpf jit is missing other more crucial bpf features. For example, many important bpf features depend on bpf kfunc now but so far only one arch (x86-32) supports it which was added by me as an example when kfunc was first introduced to bpf. The uptr can only be stored to the task local storage by the syscall update_elem. Meaning the uptr will not be considered if it is provided by the bpf prog through bpf_task_storage_get(BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE). This is enforced by only calling bpf_local_storage_update(swap_uptrs==true) in bpf_pid_task_storage_update_elem. Everywhere else will have swap_uptrs==false. This will pump down to bpf_selem_alloc(swap_uptrs==true). It is the only case that bpf_selem_alloc() will take the uptr value when updating the newly allocated selem. bpf_obj_swap_uptrs() is added to swap the uptr between the SDATA(selem)->data and the user provided map_value in "void *value". bpf_obj_swap_uptrs() makes the SDATA(selem)->data takes the ownership of the uptr and the user space provided map_value will have NULL in the uptr. The bpf_obj_unpin_uptrs() is called after map->ops->map_update_elem() returning error. If the map->ops->map_update_elem has reached a state that the local storage has taken the uptr ownership, the bpf_obj_unpin_uptrs() will be a no op because the uptr is NULL. A "__"bpf_obj_unpin_uptrs is added to make this error path unpin easier such that it does not have to check the map->record is NULL or not. BPF_F_LOCK is not supported when the map_value has uptr. This can be revisited later if there is a use case. A similar swap_uptrs idea can be considered. The final bit is to do unpin_user_page in the bpf_obj_free_fields(). The earlier patch has ensured that the bpf_obj_free_fields() has gone through the rcu gp when needed.

2024-10-24bpf: Support __uptr type tag in BTFKui-Feng Lee
This patch introduces the "__uptr" type tag to BTF. It is to define a pointer pointing to the user space memory. This patch adds BTF logic to pass the "__uptr" type tag. btf_find_kptr() is reused for the "__uptr" tag. The "__uptr" will only be supported in the map_value of the task storage map. However, btf_parse_struct_meta() also uses btf_find_kptr() but it is not interested in "__uptr". This patch adds a "field_mask" argument to btf_find_kptr() which will return BTF_FIELD_IGNORE if the caller is not interested in a “__uptr” field. btf_parse_kptr() is also reused to parse the uptr. The btf_check_and_fixup_fields() is changed to do extra checks on the uptr to ensure that its struct size is not larger than PAGE_SIZE. It is not clear how a uptr pointing to a CO-RE supported kernel struct will be used, so it is also not allowed now.

2024-10-22bpf: Add MEM_WRITE attributeDaniel Borkmann
Add a MEM_WRITE attribute for BPF helper functions which can be used in bpf_func_proto to annotate an argument type in order to let the verifier know that the helper writes into the memory passed as an argument. In the past MEM_UNINIT has been (ab)used for this function, but the latter merely tells the verifier that the passed memory can be uninitialized. There have been bugs with overloading the latter but aside from that there are also cases where the passed memory is read + written which currently cannot be expressed, see also 4b3786a6c539 ("bpf: Zero former ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} args in case of error").

2024-10-16bpf: Prevent tailcall infinite loop caused by freplaceLeon Hwang
There is a potential infinite loop issue that can occur when using a combination of tail calls and freplace. In an upcoming selftest, the attach target for entry_freplace of tailcall_freplace.c is subprog_tc of tc_bpf2bpf.c, while the tail call in entry_freplace leads to entry_tc. This results in an infinite loop: entry_tc -> subprog_tc -> entry_freplace --tailcall-> entry_tc. The problem arises because the tail_call_cnt in entry_freplace resets to zero each time entry_freplace is executed, causing the tail call mechanism to never terminate, eventually leading to a kernel panic. To fix this issue, the solution is twofold: 1. Prevent updating a program extended by an freplace program to a prog_array map. 2. Prevent extending a program that is already part of a prog_array map with an freplace program. This ensures that: * If a program or its subprogram has been extended by an freplace program, it can no longer be updated to a prog_array map. * If a program has been added to a prog_array map, neither it nor its subprograms can be extended by an freplace program. Moreover, an extension program should not be tailcalled. As such, return -EINVAL if the program has a type of BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT when adding it to a prog_array map. Additionally, fix a minor code style issue by replacing eight spaces with a tab for proper formatting.
