LLVM14 added support for a new C attribute ([1])
__attribute__((btf_tag("arbitrary_str")))
This attribute will be emitted to dwarf ([2]) and pahole
will convert it to BTF. Or for bpf target, this
attribute will be emitted to BTF directly ([3], [4]).
The attribute is intended to provide additional
information for
- struct/union type or struct/union member
- static/global variables
- static/global function or function parameter.
For linux kernel, the btf_tag can be applied
in various places to specify user pointer,
function pre- or post- condition, function
allow/deny in certain context, etc. Such information
will be encoded in vmlinux BTF and can be used
by verifier.
The btf_tag can also be applied to bpf programs
to help global verifiable functions, e.g.,
specifying preconditions, etc.
This patch added basic parsing and checking support
in kernel for new BTF_KIND_TAG kind.

Refactor bpf_object__open() sequencing to perform BPF program type
detection based on SEC() definitions before we get to relocations
collection. This allows to have more information about BPF program by
the time we get to, say, struct_ops relocation gathering. This,
subsequently, simplifies struct_ops logic and removes the need to
perform extra find_sec_def() resolution.
With this patch libbpf will require all struct_ops BPF programs to be
marked with SEC("struct_ops") or SEC("struct_ops/xxx") annotations.
Real-world applications are already doing that through something like
selftests's BPF_STRUCT_OPS() macro. This change streamlines libbpf's
internal handling of SEC() definitions and is in the sprit of
upcoming libbpf-1.0 section strictness changes ([0]).

it with some more versioning-related APIs in the future.
To prevent accidental out-of-sync versions as defined by libbpf.map and

Simultaneously with this change bump libbpf.map to v0.6.

Introduce a macro LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE(major, minor, message) to prepare
the deprecation of two API functions. This macro marks functions as deprecated
when libbpf's version reaches the values passed as an argument.
As part of this change libbpf_version.h header is added with recorded major
(LIBBPF_MAJOR_VERSION) and minor (LIBBPF_MINOR_VERSION) libbpf version macros.
They are now part of libbpf public API and can be relied upon by user code.
libbpf_version.h is installed system-wide along other libbpf public headers.
Due to this new build-time auto-generated header, in-kernel applications
relying on libbpf (resolve_btfids, bpftool, bpf_preload) are updated to
include libbpf's output directory as part of a list of include search paths.
Better fix would be to use libbpf's make_install target to install public API
headers, but that clean up is left out as a future improvement. The build
changes were tested by building kernel (with KBUILD_OUTPUT and O= specified
explicitly), bpftool, libbpf, selftests/bpf, and resolve_btfids builds. No
problems were detected.
Note that because of the constraints of the C preprocessor we have to write
a few lines of macro magic for each version used to prepare deprecation (0.6
for now).
Also, use LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE() to schedule deprecation of
btf__get_from_id() and btf__load(), which are replaced by
btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() and btf__load_into_kernel(), respectively,
starting from future libbpf v0.6. This is part of libbpf 1.0 effort ([0]).

The kernel provides a "/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<iface>/mtu"
file, which can temporarily record the mtu value of the last
received RA message when the RA mtu value is lower than the
interface mtu, but this proc has following limitations:
(1) when the interface mtu (/sys/class/net/<iface>/mtu) is
updeated, mtu6 (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<iface>/mtu) will
be updated to the value of interface mtu;
(2) mtu6 (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<iface>/mtu) only affect
ipv6 connection, and not affect ipv4.
Therefore, when the mtu option is carried in the RA message,
there will be a problem that the user sometimes cannot obtain
RA mtu value correctly by reading mtu6.
After this patch set, if a RA message carries the mtu option,
you can send a netlink msg which nlmsg_type is RTM_GETLINK,
and then by parsing the attribute of IFLA_INET6_RA_MTU to
get the mtu value carried in the RA message received on the
inet6 device. In addition, you can also get a link notification
when ra_mtu is updated so it doesn't have to poll.
In this way, if the MTU values that the device receives from
the network in the PCO IPv4 and the RA IPv6 procedures are
different, the user can obtain the correct ipv6 ra_mtu value
and compare the value of ra_mtu and ipv4 mtu, then the device
can use the lower MTU value for both IPv4 and IPv6.

The motivation behind this helper is to access userspace pt_regs in a
kprobe handler.
uprobe's ctx is the userspace pt_regs. kprobe's ctx is the kernelspace
pt_regs. bpf_task_pt_regs() allows accessing userspace pt_regs in a
kprobe handler. The final case (kernelspace pt_regs in uprobe) is
pretty rare (usermode helper) so I think that can be solved later if
necessary.
More concretely, this helper is useful in doing BPF-based DWARF stack
unwinding. Currently the kernel can only do framepointer based stack
unwinds for userspace code. This is because the DWARF state machines are
too fragile to be computed in kernelspace [0]. The idea behind
DWARF-based stack unwinds w/ BPF is to copy a chunk of the userspace
stack (while in prog context) and send it up to userspace for unwinding
(probably with libunwind) [1]. This would effectively enable profiling
applications with -fomit-frame-pointer using kprobes and uprobes.

Add an enum (cgroup_bpf_attach_type) containing only valid cgroup_bpf
attach types and a function to map bpf_attach_type values to the new
enum. Inspired by netns_bpf_attach_type.
Then, migrate cgroup_bpf to use cgroup_bpf_attach_type wherever
possible. Functionality is unchanged as attach_type_to_prog_type
switches in bpf/syscall.c were preventing non-cgroup programs from
making use of the invalid cgroup_bpf array slots.
As a result struct cgroup_bpf uses 504 fewer bytes relative to when its
arrays were sized using MAX_BPF_ATTACH_TYPE.
bpf_cgroup_storage is notably not migrated as struct
bpf_cgroup_storage_key is part of uapi and contains a bpf_attach_type
member which is not meant to be opaque. Similarly, bpf_cgroup_link
continues to report its bpf_attach_type member to userspace via fdinfo
and bpf_link_info.
To ease disambiguation, bpf_attach_type variables are renamed from
'type' to 'atype' when changed to cgroup_bpf_attach_type.

Detect kernel support for BPF perf link and prefer it when attaching to
perf_event, tracepoint, kprobe/uprobe. Underlying perf_event FD will be kept
open until BPF link is destroyed, at which point both perf_event FD and BPF
link FD will be closed.
This preserves current behavior in which perf_event FD is open for the
duration of bpf_link's lifetime and user is able to "disconnect" bpf_link from
underlying FD (with bpf_link__disconnect()), so that bpf_link__destroy()
doesn't close underlying perf_event FD.When BPF perf link is used, disconnect
will keep both perf_event and bpf_link FDs open, so it will be up to
(advanced) user to close them. This approach is demonstrated in bpf_cookie.c

Add new BPF helper, bpf_get_attach_cookie(), which can be used by BPF programs
to get access to a user-provided bpf_cookie value, specified during BPF
program attachment (BPF link creation) time.
Naming is hard, though. With the concept being named "BPF cookie", I've
considered calling the helper:
- bpf_get_cookie() -- seems too unspecific and easily mistaken with socket
cookie;
- bpf_get_bpf_cookie() -- too much tautology;
- bpf_get_link_cookie() -- would be ok, but while we create a BPF link to
attach BPF program to BPF hook, it's still an "attachment" and the
bpf_cookie is associated with BPF program attachment to a hook, not a BPF
link itself. Technically, we could support bpf_cookie with old-style
cgroup programs.So I ultimately rejected it in favor of
bpf_get_attach_cookie().
Currently all perf_event-backed BPF program types support
bpf_get_attach_cookie() helper. Follow-up patches will add support for
fentry/fexit programs as well.
While at it, mark bpf_tracing_func_proto() as static to make it obvious that
it's only used from within the kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c.

Add ability for users to specify custom u64 value (bpf_cookie) when creating
BPF link for perf_event-backed BPF programs (kprobe/uprobe, perf_event,
tracepoints).
This is useful for cases when the same BPF program is used for attaching and
processing invocation of different tracepoints/kprobes/uprobes in a generic
fashion, but such that each invocation is distinguished from each other (e.g.,
BPF program can look up additional information associated with a specific
kernel function without having to rely on function IP lookups). This enables
new use cases to be implemented simply and efficiently that previously were
possible only through code generation (and thus multiple instances of almost
identical BPF program) or compilation at runtime (BCC-style) on target hosts
(even more expensive resource-wise). For uprobes it is not even possible in
some cases to know function IP before hand (e.g., when attaching to shared
library without PID filtering, in which case base load address is not known
for a library).
This is done by storing u64 bpf_cookie in struct bpf_prog_array_item,
corresponding to each attached and run BPF program. Given cgroup BPF programs
already use two 8-byte pointers for their needs and cgroup BPF programs don't
have (yet?) support for bpf_cookie, reuse that space through union of
cgroup_storage and new bpf_cookie field.
Make it available to kprobe/tracepoint BPF programs through bpf_trace_run_ctx.
This is set by BPF_PROG_RUN_ARRAY, used by kprobe/uprobe/tracepoint BPF
program execution code, which luckily is now also split from
BPF_PROG_RUN_ARRAY_CG. This run context will be utilized by a new BPF helper
giving access to this user-provided cookie value from inside a BPF program.
Generic perf_event BPF programs will access this value from perf_event itself
through passed in BPF program context.

Introduce a new type of BPF link - BPF perf link. This brings perf_event-based
BPF program attachments (perf_event, tracepoints, kprobes, and uprobes) into
the common BPF link infrastructure, allowing to list all active perf_event
based attachments, auto-detaching BPF program from perf_event when link's FD
is closed, get generic BPF link fdinfo/get_info functionality.
BPF_LINK_CREATE command expects perf_event's FD as target_fd. No extra flags
are currently supported.
Force-detaching and atomic BPF program updates are not yet implemented, but
with perf_event-based BPF links we now have common framework for this without
the need to extend ioctl()-based perf_event interface.
One interesting consideration is a new value for bpf_attach_type, which
BPF_LINK_CREATE command expects. Generally, it's either 1-to-1 mapping from
bpf_attach_type to bpf_prog_type, or many-to-1 mapping from a subset of
bpf_attach_types to one bpf_prog_type (e.g., see BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_SKB or
BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK). In this case, though, we have three different
program types (KPROBE, TRACEPOINT, PERF_EVENT) using the same perf_event-based
mechanism, so it's many bpf_prog_types to one bpf_attach_type. I chose to
define a single BPF_PERF_EVENT attach type for all of them and adjust
link_create()'s logic for checking correspondence between attach type and
program type.
The alternative would be to define three new attach types (e.g., BPF_KPROBE,
BPF_TRACEPOINT, and BPF_PERF_EVENT), but that seemed like unnecessary overkill
and BPF_KPROBE will cause naming conflicts with BPF_KPROBE() macro, defined by
libbpf. I chose to not do this to avoid unnecessary proliferation of
bpf_attach_type enum values and not have to deal with naming conflicts.

Currently weak typeless ksyms have default value zero, when they don't
exist in the kernel. However, weak typed ksyms are rejected by libbpf
if they can not be resolved. This means that if a bpf object contains
the declaration of a nonexistent weak typed ksym, it will be rejected
even if there is no program that references the symbol.
Nonexistent weak typed ksyms can also default to zero just like
typeless ones. This allows programs that access weak typed ksyms to be
accepted by verifier, if the accesses are guarded. For example,
extern const int bpf_link_fops3 __ksym __weak;
/* then in BPF program */
if (&bpf_link_fops3) {
/* use bpf_link_fops3 */
}
If actual use of nonexistent typed ksym is not guarded properly,
verifier would see that register is not PTR_TO_BTF_ID and wouldn't
allow to use it for direct memory reads or passing it to BPF helpers.

This adds documentation files, including ones for autogenerating API
documentation based on code comments in the source code that's pulled
in via the mirror.

When new eBPF program, map, or attach types are added to the kernel,
bpftool needs to be updated in order to support the related features.
These updates should add the new types to the code itself, but also to
the help messages, documentation, and bash completion. Given that it is
easy to omit one of those, a script has been created to attempt to
validate that all parts have been consistently updated.
This new script for bpftool is hosted in the kernel repository, amongst
the BPF selftests. But it is not called from the Makefile, and not run
along with the other selftests. If it was, all patches updating the BPF
UAPI would require the relevant changes in bpftool at the same time, _in
the same patches_, which is not desirable.
To ensure that bpftool's parts remain in sync, let's run this script
from the CI. This patch adds a new section to the run.sh script, focused
on bpftool, and calling the new test_bpftool_synctypes.py.
