Add support for deferred userspace unwind to perf.
Where perf currently relies on in-place stack unwinding; from NMI
context and all that. This moves the userspace part of the unwind to
right before the return-to-userspace.
This has two distinct benefits, the biggest is that it moves the
unwind to a faultable context. It becomes possible to fault in debug
info (.eh_frame, SFrame etc.) that might not otherwise be readily
available. And secondly, it de-duplicates the user callchain where
multiple samples happen during the same kernel entry.
To facilitate this the perf interface is extended with a new record
type:
PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED
and two new attribute flags:
perf_event_attr::defer_callchain - to request the user unwind be deferred
perf_event_attr::defer_output - to request PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED records
The existing PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE callchain section gets a new
context type:
PERF_CONTEXT_USER_DEFERRED
After which will come a single entry, denoting the 'cookie' of the
deferred callchain that should be attached here, matching the 'cookie'
field of the above mentioned PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED.
The 'defer_callchain' flag is expected on all events with
PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN. The 'defer_output' flag is expect on the event
responsible for collecting side-band events (like mmap, comm etc.).
Setting 'defer_output' on multiple events will get you duplicated
PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED records.

On bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD) syscall user-supplied BPF programs are
translated by the verifier into "xlated" BPF programs. During this
process the original instructions offsets might be adjusted and/or
individual instructions might be replaced by new sets of instructions,
or deleted.
Add a new BPF map type which is aimed to keep track of how, for a
given program, the original instructions were relocated during the
verification. Also, besides keeping track of the original -> xlated
mapping, make x86 JIT to build the xlated -> jitted mapping for every
instruction listed in an instruction array. This is required for every
future application of instruction arrays: static keys, indirect jumps
and indirect calls.
A map of the BPF_MAP_TYPE_INSN_ARRAY type must be created with a u32
keys and value of size 8. The values have different semantics for
userspace and for BPF space. For userspace a value consists of two
u32 values – xlated and jitted offsets. For BPF side the value is
a real pointer to a jitted instruction.
On map creation/initialization, before loading the program, each
element of the map should be initialized to point to an instruction
offset within the program. Before the program load such maps should
be made frozen. After the program verification xlated and jitted
offsets can be read via the bpf(2) syscall.
If a tracked instruction is removed by the verifier, then the xlated
offset is set to (u32)-1 which is considered to be too big for a valid
BPF program offset.
One such a map can, obviously, be used to track one and only one BPF
program. If the verification process was unsuccessful, then the same
map can be re-used to verify the program with a different log level.
However, if the program was loaded fine, then such a map, being
frozen in any case, can't be reused by other programs even after the
program release.
Example. Consider the following original and xlated programs:
Original prog: Xlated prog:
0: r1 = 0x0 0: r1 = 0
1: *(u32 *)(r10 - 0x4) = r1 1: *(u32 *)(r10 -4) = r1
2: r2 = r10 2: r2 = r10
3: r2 += -0x4 3: r2 += -4
4: r1 = 0x0 ll 4: r1 = map[id:88]
6: call 0x1 6: r1 += 272
7: r0 = *(u32 *)(r2 +0)
8: if r0 >= 0x1 goto pc+3
9: r0 <<= 3
10: r0 += r1
11: goto pc+1
12: r0 = 0
7: r6 = r0 13: r6 = r0
8: if r6 == 0x0 goto +0x2 14: if r6 == 0x0 goto pc+4
9: call 0x76 15: r0 = 0xffffffff8d2079c0
17: r0 = *(u64 *)(r0 +0)
10: *(u64 *)(r6 + 0x0) = r0 18: *(u64 *)(r6 +0) = r0
11: r0 = 0x0 19: r0 = 0x0
12: exit 20: exit
An instruction array map, containing, e.g., instructions [0,4,7,12]
will be translated by the verifier to [0,4,13,20]. A map with
index 5 (the middle of 16-byte instruction) or indexes greater than 12
(outside the program boundaries) would be rejected.
The functionality provided by this patch will be extended in consequent
patches to implement BPF Static Keys, indirect jumps, and indirect calls.

There is a hack in scripts/headers_install.sh which strips includes
of compiler.h and compiler_types.h when installing uAPI headers.
While explicit handling makes sense for compiler.h, which is included
all over the uAPI, compiler_types.h is only included by stddef.h
(within the uAPI, obviously it's included in kernel code a lot).
Remove the stripping from scripts/headers_install.sh and wrap

This patch extends the BPF_PROG_LOAD command by adding three new fields
to `union bpf_attr` in the user-space API:
- signature: A pointer to the signature blob.
- signature_size: The size of the signature blob.
- keyring_id: The serial number of a loaded kernel keyring (e.g.,
the user or session keyring) containing the trusted public keys.
When a BPF program is loaded with a signature, the kernel:
1. Retrieves the trusted keyring using the provided `keyring_id`.
2. Verifies the supplied signature against the BPF program's
instruction buffer.
3. If the signature is valid and was generated by a key in the trusted
keyring, the program load proceeds.
4. If no signature is provided, the load proceeds as before, allowing
for backward compatibility. LSMs can chose to restrict unsigned
programs and implement a security policy.
5. If signature verification fails for any reason,
the program is not loaded.

This patch provides a setsockopt method to let applications leverage to
adjust how many descs to be handled at most in one send syscall. It
mitigates the situation where the default value (32) that is too small
leads to higher frequency of triggering send syscall.
Considering the prosperity/complexity the applications have, there is no
absolutely ideal suggestion fitting all cases. So keep 32 as its default
value like before.
The patch does the following things:
- Add XDP_MAX_TX_SKB_BUDGET socket option.
- Set max_tx_budget to 32 by default in the initialization phase as a
per-socket granular control.
- Set the range of max_tx_budget as [32, xs->tx->nentries].
The idea behind this comes out of real workloads in production. We use a
user-level stack with xsk support to accelerate sending packets and
minimize triggering syscalls. When the packets are aggregated, it's not
hard to hit the upper bound (namely, 32). The moment user-space stack
fetches the -EAGAIN error number passed from sendto(), it will loop to try
again until all the expected descs from tx ring are sent out to the driver.
Enlarging the XDP_MAX_TX_SKB_BUDGET value contributes to less frequency of
sendto() and higher throughput/PPS.
Here is what I did in production, along with some numbers as follows:
For one application I saw lately, I suggested using 128 as max_tx_budget
because I saw two limitations without changing any default configuration:
1) XDP_MAX_TX_SKB_BUDGET, 2) socket sndbuf which is 212992 decided by
net.core.wmem_default. As to XDP_MAX_TX_SKB_BUDGET, the scenario behind
this was I counted how many descs are transmitted to the driver at one
time of sendto() based on [1] patch and then I calculated the
possibility of hitting the upper bound. Finally I chose 128 as a
suitable value because 1) it covers most of the cases, 2) a higher
number would not bring evident results. After twisting the parameters,
a stable improvement of around 4% for both PPS and throughput and less
resources consumption were found to be observed by strace -c -p xxx:
1) %time was decreased by 7.8%
2) error counter was decreased from 18367 to 572

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.

In Cilium, we use bpf_csum_diff + bpf_l4_csum_replace to, among other
things, update the L4 checksum after reverse SNATing IPv6 packets. That
use case is however not currently supported and leads to invalid
skb->csum values in some cases. This patch adds support for IPv6 address
changes in bpf_l4_csum_update via a new flag.
When calling bpf_l4_csum_replace in Cilium, it ends up calling
inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff:
1: void inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff(__sum16 *sum, struct sk_buff *skb,
2: __wsum diff, bool pseudohdr)
3: {
4: if (skb->ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL) {
5: csum_replace_by_diff(sum, diff);
6: if (skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_COMPLETE && pseudohdr)
7: skb->csum = ~csum_sub(diff, skb->csum);
8: } else if (pseudohdr) {
9: *sum = ~csum_fold(csum_add(diff, csum_unfold(*sum)));
10: }
11: }
The bug happens when we're in the CHECKSUM_COMPLETE state. We've just
updated one of the IPv6 addresses. The helper now updates the L4 header
checksum on line 5. Next, it updates skb->csum on line 7. It shouldn't.
For an IPv6 packet, the updates of the IPv6 address and of the L4
checksum will cancel each other. The checksums are set such that
computing a checksum over the packet including its checksum will result
in a sum of 0. So the same is true here when we update the L4 checksum
on line 5. We'll update it as to cancel the previous IPv6 address
update. Hence skb->csum should remain untouched in this case.
The same bug doesn't affect IPv4 packets because, in that case, three
fields are updated: the IPv4 address, the IP checksum, and the L4
checksum. The change to the IPv4 address and one of the checksums still
cancel each other in skb->csum, but we're left with one checksum update
and should therefore update skb->csum accordingly. That's exactly what
inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff does.
This special case for IPv6 L4 checksums is also described atop
inet_proto_csum_replace16, the function we should be using in this case.
This patch introduces a new bpf_l4_csum_replace flag, BPF_F_IPV6,
to indicate that we're updating the L4 checksum of an IPv6 packet. When
the flag is set, inet_proto_csum_replace_by_diff will skip the
skb->csum update.

Current cgroup prog ordering is appending at attachment time. This is not
ideal. In some cases, users want specific ordering at a particular cgroup
level. To address this, the existing mprog API seems an ideal solution with
supporting BPF_F_BEFORE and BPF_F_AFTER flags.
But there are a few obstacles to directly use kernel mprog interface.
Currently cgroup bpf progs already support prog attach/detach/replace
and link-based attach/detach/replace. For example, in struct
bpf_prog_array_item, the cgroup_storage field needs to be together
with bpf prog. But the mprog API struct bpf_mprog_fp only has bpf_prog
as the member, which makes it difficult to use kernel mprog interface.
In another case, the current cgroup prog detach tries to use the
same flag as in attach. This is different from mprog kernel interface
which uses flags passed from user space.
So to avoid modifying existing behavior, I made the following changes to
support mprog API for cgroup progs:
- The support is for prog list at cgroup level. Cross-level prog list
(a.k.a. effective prog list) is not supported.
- Previously, BPF_F_PREORDER is supported only for prog attach, now
BPF_F_PREORDER is also supported by link-based attach.
- For attach, BPF_F_BEFORE/BPF_F_AFTER/BPF_F_ID/BPF_F_LINK is supported
similar to kernel mprog but with different implementation.
- For detach and replace, use the existing implementation.
- For attach, detach and replace, the revision for a particular prog
list, associated with a particular attach type, will be updated
by increasing count by 1.

When applying a recent commit to the <uapi/linux/perf_event.h>
header I noticed that we have accumulated quite a bit of
historic noise in this header, so do a bit of spring cleaning:
- Define bitfields in a vertically aligned fashion, like
perf_event_mmap_page::capabilities already does. This
makes it easier to see the distribution and sizing of
bits within a word, at a glance. The following is much
more readable:
__u64 cap_bit0 : 1,
cap_bit0_is_deprecated : 1,
cap_user_rdpmc : 1,
cap_user_time : 1,
cap_user_time_zero : 1,
cap_user_time_short : 1,
cap_____res : 58;
Than:
__u64 cap_bit0:1,
cap_bit0_is_deprecated:1,
cap_user_rdpmc:1,
cap_user_time:1,
cap_user_time_zero:1,
cap_user_time_short:1,
cap_____res:58;
So convert all bitfield definitions from the latter style to the
former style.
- Fix typos and grammar
- Fix capitalization
- Remove whitespace noise
- Harmonize the definitions of various generations and groups of
PERF_MEM_ ABI values.
- Vertically align all definitions and assignments to the same
column (48), as the first definition (enum perf_type_id),
throughout the entire header.
- And in general make the code and comments to be more in sync
with each other and to be more readable overall.
No change in functionality.
Copy the changes over to tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h.

Currently BPF_BTF_GET_FD_BY_ID requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN, which does not
allow running it from user namespace. This creates a problem when

program BTF.
This patch relaxes capable check from CAP_SYS_ADMIN to CAP_BPF and adds

Extend the XDP Tx metadata framework so that user can requests launch time
hardware offload, where the Ethernet device will schedule the packet for
transmission at a pre-determined time called launch time. The value of
launch time is communicated from user space to Ethernet driver via
launch_time field of struct xsk_tx_metadata.

This patch introduces a new callback in tcp_tx_timestamp() to correlate
tcp_sendmsg timestamp with timestamps from other tx timestamping
callbacks (e.g., SND/SW/ACK).
Without this patch, BPF program wouldn't know which timestamps belong
to which flow because of no socket lock protection. This new callback
is inserted in tcp_tx_timestamp() to address this issue because
tcp_tx_timestamp() still owns the same socket lock with
tcp_sendmsg_locked() in the meanwhile tcp_tx_timestamp() initializes
the timestamping related fields for the skb, especially tskey. The
tskey is the bridge to do the correlation.
For TCP, BPF program hooks the beginning of tcp_sendmsg_locked() and
then stores the sendmsg timestamp at the bpf_sk_storage, correlating
this timestamp with its tskey that are later used in other sending
timestamping callbacks.

Support hw SCM_TSTAMP_SND case for bpf timestamping.
Add a new sock_ops callback, BPF_SOCK_OPS_TSTAMP_SND_HW_CB. This
callback will occur at the same timestamping point as the user
space's hardware SCM_TSTAMP_SND. The BPF program can use it to
get the same SCM_TSTAMP_SND timestamp without modifying the
user-space application.
To avoid increasing the code complexity, replace SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP
with SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP_NOBPF instead of changing numerous callers
from driver side using SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP. The new definition of
SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP means the combination tests of socket timestamping
and bpf timestamping. After this patch, drivers can work under the
bpf timestamping.
Considering some drivers don't assign the skb with hardware
timestamp, this patch does the assignment and then BPF program
can acquire the hwstamp from skb directly.

The commit 97c79a38cd45 ("perf core: Per event callchain limit")
introduced a per-event term to allow finer tuning of the depth of
callchains to save space.
It should be applied to the branch stack as well. For example, autoFDO
collections require maximum LBR entries. In the meantime, other
system-wide LBR users may only be interested in the latest a few number
of LBRs. A per-event LBR depth would save the perf output buffer.
The patch simply drops the uninterested branches, but HW still collects
the maximum branches. There may be a model-specific optimization that
can reduce the HW depth for some cases to reduce the overhead further.
But it isn't included in the patch set. Because it's not useful for all
cases. For example, ARCH LBR can utilize the PEBS and XSAVE to collect
LBRs. The depth should have less impact on the collecting overhead.
The model-specific optimization may be implemented later separately.
