Alexei Starovoitov says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2018-10-08 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. The main changes are: 1) sk_lookup_[tcp|udp] and sk_release helpers from Joe Stringer which allow BPF programs to perform lookups for sockets in a network namespace. This would allow programs to determine early on in processing whether the stack is expecting to receive the packet, and perform some action (eg drop, forward somewhere) based on this information. 2) per-cpu cgroup local storage from Roman Gushchin. Per-cpu cgroup local storage is very similar to simple cgroup storage except all the data is per-cpu. The main goal of per-cpu variant is to implement super fast counters (e.g. packet counters), which don't require neither lookups, neither atomic operations in a fast path. The example of these hybrid counters is in selftests/bpf/netcnt_prog.c 3) allow HW offload of programs with BPF-to-BPF function calls from Quentin Monnet 4) support more than 64-byte key/value in HW offloaded BPF maps from Jakub Kicinski 5) rename of libbpf interfaces from Andrey Ignatov. libbpf is maturing as a library and should follow good practices in library design and implementation to play well with other libraries. This patch set brings consistent naming convention to global symbols. 6) relicense libbpf as LGPL-2.1 OR BSD-2-Clause from Alexei Starovoitov to let Apache2 projects use libbpf 7) various AF_XDP fixes from Björn and Magnus ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

In preparation for BPF-to-BPF calls in offloaded programs, add a new function attribute to the struct bpf_prog_offload_ops so that drivers supporting eBPF offload can hook at the end of program verification, and potentially extract information collected by the verifier. Implement a minimal callback (returning 0) in the drivers providing the structs, namely netdevsim and nfp. This will be useful in the nfp driver, in later commits, to extract the number of subprograms as well as the stack depth for those subprograms.

2018-10-05bpf: 32-bit RSH verification must truncate input before the ALU opJann Horn
When I wrote commit 468f6eafa6c4 ("bpf: fix 32-bit ALU op verification"), I assumed that, in order to emulate 64-bit arithmetic with 32-bit logic, it is sufficient to just truncate the output to 32 bits; and so I just moved the register size coercion that used to be at the start of the function to the end of the function. That assumption is true for almost every op, but not for 32-bit right shifts, because those can propagate information towards the least significant bit. Fix it by always truncating inputs for 32-bit ops to 32 bits. Also get rid of the coerce_reg_to_size() after the ALU op, since that has no effect.

2018-10-04cgroup: Fix dom_cgrp propagation when enabling threaded modeTejun Heo
A cgroup which is already a threaded domain may be converted into a threaded cgroup if the prerequisite conditions are met. When this happens, all threaded descendant should also have their ->dom_cgrp updated to the new threaded domain cgroup. Unfortunately, this propagation was missing leading to the following failure. # cd /sys/fs/cgroup/unified # cat cgroup.subtree_control # show that no controllers are enabled # mkdir -p mycgrp/a/b/c # echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/cgroup.type At this point, the hierarchy looks as follows: mycgrp [d] a [dt] b [t] c [inv] Now let's make node "a" threaded (and thus "mycgrp" s made "domain threaded"): # echo threaded > mycgrp/a/cgroup.type By this point, we now have a hierarchy that looks as follows: mycgrp [dt] a [t] b [t] c [inv] But, when we try to convert the node "c" from "domain invalid" to "threaded", we get ENOTSUP on the write(): # echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/c/cgroup.type sh: echo: write error: Operation not supported This patch fixes the problem by * Moving the opencoded ->dom_cgrp save and restoration in cgroup_enable_threaded() into cgroup_{save|restore}_control() so that mulitple cgroups can be handled. * Updating all threaded descendants' ->dom_cgrp to point to the new dom_cgrp when enabling threaded mode.

2018-10-03bpf: Add helper to retrieve socket in BPFJoe Stringer
This patch adds new BPF helper functions, bpf_sk_lookup_tcp() and bpf_sk_lookup_udp() which allows BPF programs to find out if there is a socket listening on this host, and returns a socket pointer which the BPF program can then access to determine, for instance, whether to forward or drop traffic. bpf_sk_lookup_xxx() may take a reference on the socket, so when a BPF program makes use of this function, it must subsequently pass the returned pointer into the newly added sk_release() to return the reference. By way of example, the following pseudocode would filter inbound connections at XDP if there is no corresponding service listening for the traffic: struct bpf_sock_tuple tuple; struct bpf_sock_ops *sk; populate_tuple(ctx, &tuple); // Extract the 5tuple from the packet sk = bpf_sk_lookup_tcp(ctx, &tuple, sizeof tuple, netns, 0); if (!sk) { // Couldn't find a socket listening for this traffic. Drop. return TC_ACT_SHOT; } bpf_sk_release(sk, 0); return TC_ACT_OK; Signed-off-by: Joe Stringer <joe@wand.net.nz> Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
2018-10-03bpf: Add reference tracking to verifierJoe Stringer
Allow helper functions to acquire a reference and return it into a register. Specific pointer types such as the PTR_TO_SOCKET will implicitly represent such a reference. The verifier must ensure that these references are released exactly once in each path through the program. To achieve this, this commit assigns an id to the pointer and tracks it in the 'bpf_func_state', then when the function or program exits, verifies that all of the acquired references have been freed. When the pointer is passed to a function that frees the reference, it is removed from the 'bpf_func_state` and all existing copies of the pointer in registers are marked invalid.

2018-10-02sched/numa: Migrate pages to local nodes quicker early in the lifetime of a taskMel Gorman
Automatic NUMA Balancing uses a multi-stage pass to decide whether a page should migrate to a local node. This filter avoids excessive ping-ponging if a page is shared or used by threads that migrate cross-node frequently. Threads inherit both page tables and the preferred node ID from the parent. This means that threads can trigger hinting faults earlier than a new task which delays scanning for a number of seconds. As it can be load balanced very early in its lifetime there can be an unnecessary delay before it starts migrating thread-local data. This patch migrates private pages faster early in the lifetime of a thread using the sequence counter as an identifier of new tasks. With this patch applied, STREAM performance is the same as 4.17 even though processes are not spread cross-node prematurely. Other workloads showed a mix of minor gains and losses. This is somewhat expected most workloads are not very sensitive to the starting conditions of a process. 4.19.0-rc5 4.19.0-rc5 4.17.0 numab-v1r1 fastmigrate-v1r1 vanilla MB/sec copy 43298.52 ( 0.00%) 47335.46 ( 9.32%) 47219.24 ( 9.06%) MB/sec scale 30115.06 ( 0.00%) 32568.12 ( 8.15%) 32527.56 ( 8.01%) MB/sec add 32825.12 ( 0.00%) 36078.94 ( 9.91%) 35928.02 ( 9.45%) MB/sec triad 32549.52 ( 0.00%) 35935.94 ( 10.40%) 35969.88 ( 10.51%) Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Jirka Hladky <jhladky@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Linux-MM <linux-mm@kvack.org> Cc: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181001100525.29789-3-mgorman@techsingularity.net Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

2018-10-02sched/numa: Limit the conditions where scan period is resetMel Gorman
migrate_task_rq_fair() resets the scan rate for NUMA balancing on every cross-node migration. In the event of excessive load balancing due to saturation, this may result in the scan rate being pegged at maximum and further overloading the machine. This patch only resets the scan if NUMA balancing is active, a preferred node has been selected and the task is being migrated from the preferred node as these are the most harmful. For example, a migration to the preferred node does not justify a faster scan rate. Similarly, a migration between two nodes that are not preferred is probably bouncing due to over-saturation of the machine. In that case, scanning faster and trapping more NUMA faults will further overload the machine.

2018-10-02sched/numa: Reset scan rate whenever task moves across nodesSrikar Dronamraju
Currently task scan rate is reset when NUMA balancer migrates the task to a different node. If NUMA balancer initiates a swap, reset is only applicable to the task that initiates the swap. Similarly no scan rate reset is done if the task is migrated across nodes by traditional load balancer. Instead move the scan reset to the migrate_task_rq. This ensures the task moved out of its preferred node, either gets back to its preferred node quickly or finds a new preferred node. Doing so, would be fair to all tasks migrating across nodes.

2018-10-02sched/numa: Stop multiple tasks from moving to the CPU at the same timeSrikar Dronamraju
Task migration under NUMA balancing can happen in parallel. More than one task might choose to migrate to the same CPU at the same time. This can result in: - During task swap, choosing a task that was not part of the evaluation. - During task swap, task which just got moved into its preferred node, moving to a completely different node. - During task swap, task failing to move to the preferred node, will have to wait an extra interval for the next migrate opportunity. - During task movement, multiple task movements can cause load imbalance. This problem is more likely if there are more cores per node or more nodes in the system. Use a per run-queue variable to check if NUMA-balance is active on the run-queue.

2018-10-02perf/ring_buffer: Prevent concurent ring buffer accessJiri Olsa
Some of the scheduling tracepoints allow the perf_tp_event code to write to ring buffer under different cpu than the code is running on. This results in corrupted ring buffer data demonstrated in following perf commands: # perf record -e 'sched:sched_switch,sched:sched_wakeup' perf bench sched messaging # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark: # 20 sender and receiver processes per group # 10 groups == 400 processes run Total time: 0.383 [sec] [ perf record: Woken up 8 times to write data ] 0x42b890 [0]: failed to process type: -1765585640 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.825 MB perf.data (29669 samples) ] # perf report --stdio 0x42b890 [0]: failed to process type: -1765585640 The reason for the corruption are some of the scheduling tracepoints, that have __perf_task dfined and thus allow to store data to another cpu ring buffer: sched_waking sched_wakeup sched_wakeup_new sched_stat_wait sched_stat_sleep sched_stat_iowait sched_stat_blocked The perf_tp_event function first store samples for current cpu related events defined for tracepoint: hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(event, head, hlist_entry) perf_swevent_event(event, count, &data, regs); And then iterates events of the 'task' and store the sample for any task's event that passes tracepoint checks: ctx = rcu_dereference(task->perf_event_ctxp[perf_sw_context]); list_for_each_entry_rcu(event, &ctx->event_list, event_entry) { if (event->attr.type != PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT) continue; if (event->attr.config != entry->type) continue; perf_swevent_event(event, count, &data, regs); } Above code can race with same code running on another cpu, ending up with 2 cpus trying to store under the same ring buffer, which is specifically not allowed. This patch prevents the problem, by allowing only events with the same current cpu to receive the event. NOTE: this requires the use of (per-task-)per-cpu buffers for this feature to work; perf-record does this.

2018-10-01Input: i8042 - enable keyboard wakeups by default when s2idle is usedDaniel Drake
Previously, on typical consumer laptops, pressing a key on the keyboard when the system is in suspend would cause it to wake up (default or unconditional behaviour). This happens because the EC generates a SCI interrupt in this scenario. That is no longer true on modern laptops based on Intel WhiskeyLake, including Acer Swift SF314-55G, Asus UX333FA, Asus UX433FN and Asus UX533FD. We confirmed with Asus EC engineers that the "Modern Standby" design has been modified so that the EC no longer generates a SCI in this case; the keyboard controller itself should be used for wakeup. In order to retain the standard behaviour of being able to use the keyboard to wake up the system, enable serio wakeups by default on platforms that are using s2idle.

2018-10-01bpf: introduce per-cpu cgroup local storageRoman Gushchin
This commit introduced per-cpu cgroup local storage. Per-cpu cgroup local storage is very similar to simple cgroup storage (let's call it shared), except all the data is per-cpu. The main goal of per-cpu variant is to implement super fast counters (e.g. packet counters), which don't require neither lookups, neither atomic operations. >From userspace's point of view, accessing a per-cpu cgroup storage is similar to other per-cpu map types (e.g. per-cpu hashmaps and arrays). Writing to a per-cpu cgroup storage is not atomic, but is performed by copying longs, so some minimal atomicity is here, exactly as with other per-cpu maps.

To simplify the following introduction of per-cpu cgroup storage, let's rework a bit a mechanism of passing a pointer to a cgroup storage into the bpf_get_local_storage(). Let's save a pointer to the corresponding bpf_cgroup_storage structure, instead of a pointer to the actual buffer. It will help us to handle per-cpu storage later, which has a different way of accessing to the actual data.

In order to introduce per-cpu cgroup storage, let's generalize bpf cgroup core to support multiple cgroup storage types. Potentially, per-node cgroup storage can be added later. This commit is mostly a formal change that replaces cgroup_storage pointer with a array of cgroup_storage pointers. It doesn't actually introduce a new storage type, it will be done later. Each bpf program is now able to have one cgroup storage of each type.

This patch added such a support.

Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2018-09-25 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. The main changes are: 1) Allow for RX stack hardening by implementing the kernel's flow dissector in BPF. Idea was originally presented at netconf 2017 [0]. Quote from merge commit: [...] Because of the rigorous checks of the BPF verifier, this provides significant security guarantees. In particular, the BPF flow dissector cannot get inside of an infinite loop, as with CVE-2013-4348, because BPF programs are guaranteed to terminate. It cannot read outside of packet bounds, because all memory accesses are checked. Also, with BPF the administrator can decide which protocols to support, reducing potential attack surface. Rarely encountered protocols can be excluded from dissection and the program can be updated without kernel recompile or reboot if a bug is discovered. [...] Also, a sample flow dissector has been implemented in BPF as part of this work, from Petar and Willem. [0] http://vger.kernel.org/netconf2017_files/rx_hardening_and_udp_gso.pdf 2) Add support for bpftool to list currently active attachment points of BPF networking programs providing a quick overview similar to bpftool's perf subcommand, from Yonghong. 3) Fix a verifier pruning instability bug where a union member from the register state was not cleared properly leading to branches not being pruned despite them being valid candidates, from Alexei. 4) Various smaller fast-path optimizations in XDP's map redirect code, from Jesper. 5) Enable to recognize BPF_MAP_TYPE_REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY maps in bpftool, from Roman. 6) Remove a duplicate check in libbpf that probes for function storage, from Taeung. 7) Fix an issue in test_progs by avoid checking for errno since on success its value should not be checked, from Mauricio. 8) Fix unused variable warning in bpf_getsockopt() helper when CONFIG_INET is not configured, from Anders. 9) Fix a compilation failure in the BPF sample code's use of bpf_flow_keys, from Prashant. 10) Minor cleanups in BPF code, from Yue and Zhong. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2018-09-22bpf: sockmap, fix transition through disconnect without closeJohn Fastabend
It is possible (via shutdown()) for TCP socks to go trough TCP_CLOSE state via tcp_disconnect() without actually calling tcp_close which would then call our bpf_tcp_close() callback. Because of this a user could disconnect a socket then put it in a LISTEN state which would break our assumptions about sockets always being ESTABLISHED state. To resolve this rely on the unhash hook, which is called in the disconnect case, to remove the sock from the sockmap.

2018-09-22bpf: sockmap only allow ESTABLISHED sock stateJohn Fastabend
After this patch we only allow socks that are in ESTABLISHED state or are being added via a sock_ops event that is transitioning into an ESTABLISHED state. By allowing sock_ops events we allow users to manage sockmaps directly from sock ops programs. The two supported sock_ops ops are BPF_SOCK_OPS_PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB and BPF_SOCK_OPS_ACTIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB. Similar to TLS ULP this ensures sk_user_data is correct.

2018-09-20fork: report pid exhaustion correctlyKJ Tsanaktsidis
Make the clone and fork syscalls return EAGAIN when the limit on the number of pids /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max is exceeded. Currently, when the pid_max limit is exceeded, the kernel will return ENOSPC from the fork and clone syscalls. This is contrary to the documented behaviour, which explicitly calls out the pid_max case as one where EAGAIN should be returned. It also leads to really confusing error messages in userspace programs which will complain about a lack of disk space when they fail to create processes/threads for this reason. This error is being returned because alloc_pid() uses the idr api to find a new pid; when there are none available, idr_alloc_cyclic() returns -ENOSPC, and this is being propagated back to userspace. This behaviour has been broken before, and was explicitly fixed in commit 35f71bc0a09a ("fork: report pid reservation failure properly"), so I think -EAGAIN is definitely the right thing to return in this case. The current behaviour change dates from commit 95846ecf9dac ("pid: replace pid bitmap implementation with IDR AIP") and was I believe unintentional. This patch has no impact on the case where allocating a pid fails because the child reaper for the namespace is dead; that case will still return -ENOMEM.
