After recent changes, Coverity complained about inconsistent null checks
in kernel_supports() function:
kernel_supports(const struct bpf_object *obj, ...)
[...]
// var_compare_op: Comparing obj to null implies that obj might be null
if (obj && obj->gen_loader)
return true;
// var_deref_op: Dereferencing null pointer obj
if (obj->token_fd)
return feat_supported(obj->feat_cache, feat_id);
[...]
- The original null check was introduced by commit [0], which introduced
a call `kernel_supports(NULL, ...)` in function bump_rlimit_memlock();
- This call was refactored to use `feat_supported(NULL, ...)` in commit [1].
Looking at all places where kernel_supports() is called:
- There is either `obj->...` access before the call;
- Or `obj` comes from `prog->obj` expression, where `prog` comes from
enumeration of programs in `obj`;
- Or `obj` comes from `prog->obj`, where `prog` is a parameter to one
of the API functions:
- bpf_program__attach_kprobe_opts;
- bpf_program__attach_kprobe;
- bpf_program__attach_ksyscall.
Assuming correct API usage, it appears that `obj` can never be null when
passed to kernel_supports(). Silence the Coverity warning by removing
redundant null check.

Add bpf_core_cast() macro that wraps bpf_rdonly_cast() kfunc. It's more
ergonomic than kfunc, as it automatically extracts btf_id with
bpf_core_type_id_kernel(), and works with type names. It also casts result
to (T *) pointer. See the definition of the macro, it's self-explanatory.
libbpf declares bpf_rdonly_cast() extern as __weak __ksym and should be
safe to not conflict with other possible declarations in user code.
But we do have a conflict with current BPF selftests that declare their
externs with first argument as `void *obj`, while libbpf opts into more
permissive `const void *obj`. This causes conflict, so we fix up BPF
selftests uses in the same patch.

Add BPF token support to BPF object-level functionality.
BPF token is supported by BPF object logic either as an explicitly
provided BPF token from outside (through BPF FS path), or implicitly
(unless prevented through bpf_object_open_opts).
Implicit mode is assumed to be the most common one for user namespaced
unprivileged workloads. The assumption is that privileged container
manager sets up default BPF FS mount point at /sys/fs/bpf with BPF token
delegation options (delegate_{cmds,maps,progs,attachs} mount options).
BPF object during loading will attempt to create BPF token from
/sys/fs/bpf location, and pass it for all relevant operations
(currently, map creation, BTF load, and program load).
In this implicit mode, if BPF token creation fails due to whatever
reason (BPF FS is not mounted, or kernel doesn't support BPF token,
etc), this is not considered an error. BPF object loading sequence will
proceed with no BPF token.
In explicit BPF token mode, user provides explicitly custom BPF FS mount
point path. In such case, BPF object will attempt to create BPF token
from provided BPF FS location. If BPF token creation fails, that is
considered a critical error and BPF object load fails with an error.
Libbpf provides a way to disable implicit BPF token creation, if it
causes any troubles (BPF token is designed to be completely optional and
shouldn't cause any problems even if provided, but in the world of BPF
LSM, custom security logic can be installed that might change outcome
depending on the presence of BPF token). To disable libbpf's default BPF
token creation behavior user should provide either invalid BPF token FD
(negative), or empty bpf_token_path option.
BPF token presence can influence libbpf's feature probing, so if BPF
object has associated BPF token, feature probing is instructed to use
BPF object-specific feature detection cache and token FD.

Adjust feature probing callbacks to take into account optional token_fd.
In unprivileged contexts, some feature detectors would fail to detect
kernel support just because BPF program, BPF map, or BTF object can't be
loaded due to privileged nature of those operations. So when BPF object
is loaded with BPF token, this token should be used for feature probing.
This patch is setting support for this scenario, but we don't yet pass
non-zero token FD. This will be added in the next patch.
We also switched BPF cookie detector from using kprobe program to
tracepoint one, as tracepoint is somewhat less dangerous BPF program
type and has higher likelihood of being allowed through BPF token in the
future. This change has no effect on detection behavior.

Add new kind of BPF kernel object, BPF token. BPF token is meant to
allow delegating privileged BPF functionality, like loading a BPF
program or creating a BPF map, from privileged process to a *trusted*
unprivileged process, all while having a good amount of control over which
privileged operations could be performed using provided BPF token.
This is achieved through mounting BPF FS instance with extra delegation
mount options, which determine what operations are delegatable, and also
constraining it to the owning user namespace (as mentioned in the
previous patch).
BPF token itself is just a derivative from BPF FS and can be created
through a new bpf() syscall command, BPF_TOKEN_CREATE, which accepts BPF
FS FD, which can be attained through open() API by opening BPF FS mount
point. Currently, BPF token "inherits" delegated command, map types,
prog type, and attach type bit sets from BPF FS as is. In the future,
having an BPF token as a separate object with its own FD, we can allow
to further restrict BPF token's allowable set of things either at the
creation time or after the fact, allowing the process to guard itself
further from unintentionally trying to load undesired kind of BPF
programs. But for now we keep things simple and just copy bit sets as is.
When BPF token is created from BPF FS mount, we take reference to the
BPF super block's owning user namespace, and then use that namespace for
checking all the {CAP_BPF, CAP_PERFMON, CAP_NET_ADMIN, CAP_SYS_ADMIN}
capabilities that are normally only checked against init userns (using
capable()), but now we check them using ns_capable() instead (if BPF
token is provided). See bpf_token_capable() for details.
Such setup means that BPF token in itself is not sufficient to grant BPF
functionality. User namespaced process has to *also* have necessary
combination of capabilities inside that user namespace. So while
previously CAP_BPF was useless when granted within user namespace, now
it gains a meaning and allows container managers and sys admins to have
a flexible control over which processes can and need to use BPF
functionality within the user namespace (i.e., container in practice).
And BPF FS delegation mount options and derived BPF tokens serve as
a per-container "flag" to grant overall ability to use bpf() (plus further
restrict on which parts of bpf() syscalls are treated as namespaced).
Note also, BPF_TOKEN_CREATE command itself requires ns_capable(CAP_BPF)
within the BPF FS owning user namespace, rounding up the ns_capable()
story of BPF token. Also creating BPF token in init user namespace is
currently not supported, given BPF token doesn't have any effect in init
user namespace anyways.

The commit 9e926acda0c2 ("libbpf: Find correct module BTFs for struct_ops maps and progs.")
sets a newly added field (value_type_btf_obj_fd) to -1 in libbpf when
the caller of the libbpf's bpf_map_create did not define this field by
passing a NULL "opts" or passing in a "opts" that does not cover this
new field. OPT_HAS(opts, field) is used to decide if the field is
defined or not:
((opts) && opts->sz >= offsetofend(typeof(*(opts)), field))
Once OPTS_HAS decided the field is not defined, that field should
be set to 0. For this particular new field (value_type_btf_obj_fd),
its corresponding map_flags "BPF_F_VTYPE_BTF_OBJ_FD" is not set.
Thus, the kernel does not treat it as an fd field.

Pass the fd of a btf from the userspace to the bpf() syscall, and then
convert the fd into a btf. The btf is generated from the module that
defines the target BPF struct_ops type.
In order to inform the kernel about the module that defines the target
struct_ops type, the userspace program needs to provide a btf fd for the
respective module's btf. This btf contains essential information on the
types defined within the module, including the target struct_ops type.
A btf fd must be provided to the kernel for struct_ops maps and for the bpf
programs attached to those maps.
In the case of the bpf programs, the attach_btf_obj_fd parameter is passed
as part of the bpf_attr and is converted into a btf. This btf is then
stored in the prog->aux->attach_btf field. Here, it just let the verifier
access attach_btf directly.
In the case of struct_ops maps, a btf fd is passed as value_type_btf_obj_fd
of bpf_attr. The bpf_struct_ops_map_alloc() function converts the fd to a
btf and stores it as st_map->btf. A flag BPF_F_VTYPE_BTF_OBJ_FD is added
for map_flags to indicate that the value of value_type_btf_obj_fd is set.

On kernel that don't support arg:ctx tag, before adjusting global
subprog BTF information to match kernel's expected canonical type names,
make sure that types used by user are meaningful, and if not, warn and
don't do BTF adjustments.
This is similar to checks that kernel performs, but narrower in scope,
as only a small subset of BPF program types can be accommodated by
libbpf using canonical type names.
Libbpf unconditionally allows `struct pt_regs *` for perf_event program
types, unlike kernel, which supports that conditionally on architecture.
This is done to keep things simple and not cause unnecessary false
positives. This seems like a minor and harmless deviation, which in
real-world programs will be caught by kernels with arg:ctx tag support
anyways. So KISS principle.
This logic is hard to test (especially on latest kernels), so manual
testing was performed instead. Libbpf emitted the following warning for

test_global_funcs/ctx_arg_rewrite subtest is adjusted to do the same
feature detection (albeit in much simpler, though round-about and
inefficient, way), and skip the tests. This is done to still be able to
execute this test on older kernels (like in libbpf CI).
Note, BPF token series ([0]) does a major refactor and code moving of
libbpf-internal feature detection "framework", so to avoid unnecessary
conflicts we keep newly added feature detection stand-alone with ad-hoc
result caching. Once things settle, there will be a small follow up to
re-integrate everything back and move code into its final place in

The branch counters logging (A.K.A LBR event logging) introduces a
per-counter indication of precise event occurrences in LBRs. It can
provide a means to attribute exposed retirement latency to combinations
of events across a block of instructions. It also provides a means of
attributing Timed LBR latencies to events.
The feature is first introduced on SRF/GRR. It is an enhancement of the
ARCH LBR. It adds new fields in the LBR_INFO MSRs to log the occurrences
of events on the GP counters. The information is displayed by the order
of counters.
The design proposed in this patch requires that the events which are
logged must be in a group with the event that has LBR. If there are
more than one LBR group, the counters logging information only from the
current group (overflowed) are stored for the perf tool, otherwise the
perf tool cannot know which and when other groups are scheduled
especially when multiplexing is triggered. The user can ensure it uses
the maximum number of counters that support LBR info (4 by now) by
making the group large enough.
The HW only logs events by the order of counters. The order may be
different from the order of enabling which the perf tool can understand.
When parsing the information of each branch entry, convert the counter
order to the enabled order, and store the enabled order in the extension
space.
Unconditionally reset LBRs for an LBR event group when it's deleted. The
logged counter information is only valid for the current LBR group. If
another LBR group is scheduled later, the information from the stale
LBRs would be otherwise wrongly interpreted.
Add a sanity check in intel_pmu_hw_config(). Disable the feature if other
counter filters (inv, cmask, edge, in_tx) are set or LBR call stack mode
is enabled. (For the LBR call stack mode, we cannot simply flush the
LBR, since it will break the call stack. Also, there is no obvious usage
with the call stack mode for now.)
Only applying the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COUNTERS doesn't require any branch
stack setup.
Expose the maximum number of supported counters and the width of the
counters into the sysfs. The perf tool can use the information to parse
the logged counters in each branch.

existing struct perf_branch_entry. The later ARCH specific
implementation has to be really careful to consistently pick
the right struct.
The other place is right after the entire struct perf_branch_stack.
The disadvantage is that the pointer of the extra space has to be
recorded. The common interface perf_sample_save_brstack() has to be
updated.
The latter is much straightforward, and should be easily understood and
maintained. It is implemented in the patch.
Add a new branch sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COUNTERS, to indicate
the event which is recorded in the branch info.
The "u64 counters" may store the occurrences of several events. The
information regarding the number of events/counters and the width of
each counter should be exposed via sysfs as a reference for the perf
tool. Define the branch_counter_nr and branch_counter_width ABI here.
The support will be implemented later in the Intel-specific patch.

Add lwt_reroute and tc_links_ingress to DENYLIST, as they are currently
broken due to kernel bug. Fix is underreview and should make it into
bpf-next soon.
