Daniel Borkmann adb5dd203c bpf: Add csum_level helper for fixing up csum levels
Add a bpf_csum_level() helper which BPF programs can use in combination
with bpf_skb_adjust_room() when they pass in BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_NO_CSUM_RESET
flag to the latter to avoid falling back to CHECKSUM_NONE.

The bpf_csum_level() allows to adjust CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY skb->csum_levels
via BPF_CSUM_LEVEL_{INC,DEC} which calls __skb_{incr,decr}_checksum_unnecessary()
on the skb. The helper also allows a BPF_CSUM_LEVEL_RESET which sets the skb's
csum to CHECKSUM_NONE as well as a BPF_CSUM_LEVEL_QUERY to just return the
current level. Without this helper, there is no way to otherwise adjust the
skb->csum_level. I did not add an extra dummy flags as there is plenty of free
bitspace in level argument itself iff ever needed in future.

Daniel Borkmann 3aadd91e97 bpf: Fix up bpf_skb_adjust_room helper's skb csum setting
Lorenz recently reported:

  In our TC classifier cls_redirect [0], we use the following sequence of
  helper calls to decapsulate a GUE (basically IP + UDP + custom header)
  encapsulated packet:

    bpf_skb_adjust_room(skb, -encap_len, BPF_ADJ_ROOM_MAC, BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_FIXED_GSO)
    bpf_redirect(skb->ifindex, BPF_F_INGRESS)

  It seems like some checksums of the inner headers are not validated in
  this case. For example, a TCP SYN packet with invalid TCP checksum is
  still accepted by the network stack and elicits a SYN ACK. [...]

  That is, we receive the following packet from the driver:

    | ETH | IP | UDP | GUE | IP | TCP |
    skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY

  ip_summed is CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY because our NICs do rx checksum offloading.
  On this packet we run skb_adjust_room_mac(-encap_len), and get the following:

    | ETH | IP | TCP |
    skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY

  Note that ip_summed is still CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. After bpf_redirect()'ing
  into the ingress, we end up in tcp_v4_rcv(). There, skb_checksum_init() is
  turned into a no-op due to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.

The bpf_skb_adjust_room() helper is not aware of protocol specifics. Internally,
it handles the CHECKSUM_COMPLETE case via skb_postpull_rcsum(), but that does
not cover CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. In this case skb->csum_level of the original
skb prior to bpf_skb_adjust_room() call was 0, that is, covering UDP. Right now
there is no way to adjust the skb->csum_level. NICs that have checksum offload
disabled (CHECKSUM_NONE) or that support CHECKSUM_COMPLETE are not affected.

Use a safe default for CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY by resetting to CHECKSUM_NONE and
add a flag to the helper called BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_NO_CSUM_RESET that allows users
from opting out. Opting out is useful for the case where we don't remove/add
full protocol headers, or for the case where a user wants to adjust the csum
level manually e.g. through bpf_csum_level() helper that is added in subsequent
patch.

The bpf_skb_proto_{4_to_6,6_to_4}() for NAT64/46 translation from the BPF
bpf_skb_change_proto() helper uses bpf_skb_net_hdr_{push,pop}() pair internally
as well but doesn't change layers, only transitions between v4 to v6 and vice
versa, therefore no adoption is required there.

Daniel Borkmann 2c892f1aa1 bpf: Add get{peer, sock}name attach types for sock_addr
As stated in 983695fa6765 ("bpf: fix unconnected udp hooks"), the objective
for the existing cgroup connect/sendmsg/recvmsg/bind BPF hooks is to be
transparent to applications. In Cilium we make use of these hooks [0] in
order to enable E-W load balancing for existing Kubernetes service types
for all Cilium managed nodes in the cluster. Those backends can be local
or remote. The main advantage of this approach is that it operates as close
as possible to the socket, and therefore allows to avoid packet-based NAT
given in connect/sendmsg/recvmsg hooks we only need to xlate sock addresses.

This also allows to expose NodePort services on loopback addresses in the
host namespace, for example. As another advantage, this also efficiently
blocks bind requests for applications in the host namespace for exposed
ports. However, one missing item is that we also need to perform reverse
xlation for inet{,6}_getname() hooks such that we can return the service
IP/port tuple back to the application instead of the remote peer address.

The vast majority of applications does not bother about getpeername(), but
in a few occasions we've seen breakage when validating the peer's address
since it returns unexpectedly the backend tuple instead of the service one.
Therefore, this trivial patch allows to customise and adds a getpeername()
as well as getsockname() BPF cgroup hook for both IPv4 and IPv6 in order
to address this situation.

Simple example:

  # ./cilium/cilium service list
  ID   Frontend     Service Type   Backend
  1    1.2.3.4:80   ClusterIP      1 => 10.0.0.10:80

Before; curl's verbose output example, no getpeername() reverse xlation:

  # curl --verbose 1.2.3.4
  * Rebuilt URL to: 1.2.3.4/
  *   Trying 1.2.3.4...
  * TCP_NODELAY set
  * Connected to 1.2.3.4 (10.0.0.10) port 80 (#0)
  > GET / HTTP/1.1
  > Host: 1.2.3.4
  > User-Agent: curl/7.58.0
  > Accept: */*
  [...]

After; with getpeername() reverse xlation:

  # curl --verbose 1.2.3.4
  * Rebuilt URL to: 1.2.3.4/
  *   Trying 1.2.3.4...
  * TCP_NODELAY set
  * Connected to 1.2.3.4 (1.2.3.4) port 80 (#0)
  > GET / HTTP/1.1
  >  Host: 1.2.3.4
  > User-Agent: curl/7.58.0
  > Accept: */*
  [...]

Originally, I had both under a BPF_CGROUP_INET{4,6}_GETNAME type and exposed
peer to the context similar as in inet{,6}_getname() fashion, but API-wise
this is suboptimal as it always enforces programs having to test for ctx->peer
which can easily be missed, hence BPF_CGROUP_INET{4,6}_GET{PEER,SOCK}NAME split.
Similarly, the checked return code is on tnum_range(1, 1), but if a use case
comes up in future, it can easily be changed to return an error code instead.
Helper and ctx member access is the same as with connect/sendmsg/etc hooks.

Daniel Borkmann 64f7fa917c bpf: Add netns cookie and enable it for bpf cgroup hooks
In Cilium we're mainly using BPF cgroup hooks today in order to implement
kube-proxy free Kubernetes service translation for ClusterIP, NodePort (*),
ExternalIP, and LoadBalancer as well as HostPort mapping [0] for all traffic
between Cilium managed nodes. While this works in its current shape and avoids
packet-level NAT for inter Cilium managed node traffic, there is one major
limitation we're facing today, that is, lack of netns awareness.

In Kubernetes, the concept of Pods (which hold one or multiple containers)
has been built around network namespaces, so while we can use the global scope
of attaching to root BPF cgroup hooks also to our advantage (e.g. for exposing
NodePort ports on loopback addresses), we also have the need to differentiate
between initial network namespaces and non-initial one. For example, ExternalIP
services mandate that non-local service IPs are not to be translated from the
host (initial) network namespace as one example. Right now, we have an ugly
work-around in place where non-local service IPs for ExternalIP services are
not xlated from connect() and friends BPF hooks but instead via less efficient
packet-level NAT on the veth tc ingress hook for Pod traffic.

On top of determining whether we're in initial or non-initial network namespace
we also have a need for a socket-cookie like mechanism for network namespaces
scope. Socket cookies have the nice property that they can be combined as part
of the key structure e.g. for BPF LRU maps without having to worry that the
cookie could be recycled. We are planning to use this for our sessionAffinity
implementation for services. Therefore, add a new bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper
which would resolve both use cases at once: bpf_get_netns_cookie(NULL) would
provide the cookie for the initial network namespace while passing the context
instead of NULL would provide the cookie from the application's network namespace.
We're using a hole, so no size increase; the assignment happens only once.
Therefore this allows for a comparison on initial namespace as well as regular
cookie usage as we have today with socket cookies. We could later on enable
this helper for other program types as well as we would see need.

Daniel Borkmann 09cd9ff2db bpf: Add probe_read_{user, kernel} and probe_read_{user, kernel}_str helpers
The current bpf_probe_read() and bpf_probe_read_str() helpers are broken
in that they assume they can be used for probing memory access for kernel
space addresses /as well as/ user space addresses.

However, plain use of probe_kernel_read() for both cases will attempt to
always access kernel space address space given access is performed under
KERNEL_DS and some archs in-fact have overlapping address spaces where a
kernel pointer and user pointer would have the /same/ address value and
therefore accessing application memory via bpf_probe_read{,_str}() would
read garbage values.

Lets fix BPF side by making use of recently added 3d7081822f7f ("uaccess:
Add non-pagefault user-space read functions"). Unfortunately, the only way
to fix this status quo is to add dedicated bpf_probe_read_{user,kernel}()
and bpf_probe_read_{user,kernel}_str() helpers. The bpf_probe_read{,_str}()
helpers are kept as-is to retain their current behavior.

The two *_user() variants attempt the access always under USER_DS set, the
two *_kernel() variants will -EFAULT when accessing user memory if the
underlying architecture has non-overlapping address ranges, also avoiding
throwing the kernel warning via 00c42373d397 ("x86-64: add warning for
non-canonical user access address dereferences").

we abort the load attempt.

Daniel Borkmann 0c4ac0d576 bpf, libbpf: add support for BTF Var and DataSec
This adds libbpf support for BTF Var and DataSec kinds. Main point
here is that libbpf needs to do some preparatory work before the
whole BTF object can be loaded into the kernel, that is, fixing up
of DataSec size taken from the ELF section size and non-static
variable offset which needs to be taken from the ELF's string section.

Upstream LLVM doesn't fix these up since at time of BTF emission
it is too early in the compilation process thus this information
isn't available yet, hence loader needs to take care of it.

Note, deduplication handling has not been in the scope of this work
and needs to be addressed in a future commit.

Daniel Borkmann d99a28343f bpf, libbpf: support global data/bss/rodata sections
This work adds BPF loader support for global data sections
to libbpf. This allows to write BPF programs in more natural
C-like way by being able to define global variables and const
data.

Back at LPC 2018 [0] we presented a first prototype which
implemented support for global data sections by extending BPF
syscall where union bpf_attr would get additional memory/size
pair for each section passed during prog load in order to later
add this base address into the ldimm64 instruction along with
the user provided offset when accessing a variable. Consensus
from LPC was that for proper upstream support, it would be
more desirable to use maps instead of bpf_attr extension as
this would allow for introspection of these sections as well
as potential live updates of their content. This work follows
this path by taking the following steps from loader side:

 1) In bpf_object__elf_collect() step we pick up ".data",
    ".rodata", and ".bss" section information.

 2) If present, in bpf_object__init_internal_map() we add
    maps to the obj's map array that corresponds to each
    of the present sections. Given section size and access
    properties can differ, a single entry array map is
    created with value size that is corresponding to the
    ELF section size of .data, .bss or .rodata. These
    internal maps are integrated into the normal map
    handling of libbpf such that when user traverses all
    obj maps, they can be differentiated from user-created
    ones via bpf_map__is_internal(). In later steps when
    we actually create these maps in the kernel via
    bpf_object__create_maps(), then for .data and .rodata
    sections their content is copied into the map through
    bpf_map_update_elem(). For .bss this is not necessary
    since array map is already zero-initialized by default.
    Additionally, for .rodata the map is frozen as read-only
    after setup, such that neither from program nor syscall
    side writes would be possible.

 3) In bpf_program__collect_reloc() step, we record the
    corresponding map, insn index, and relocation type for
    the global data.

 4) And last but not least in the actual relocation step in
    bpf_program__relocate(), we mark the ldimm64 instruction
    with src_reg = BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_VALUE where in the first
    imm field the map's file descriptor is stored as similarly
    done as in BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD, and in the second imm field
    (as ldimm64 is 2-insn wide) we store the access offset
    into the section. Given these maps have only single element
    ldimm64's off remains zero in both parts.

 5) On kernel side, this special marked BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_VALUE
    load will then store the actual target address in order
    to have a 'map-lookup'-free access. That is, the actual
    map value base address + offset. The destination register
    in the verifier will then be marked as PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE,
    containing the fixed offset as reg->off and backing BPF
    map as reg->map_ptr. Meaning, it's treated as any other
    normal map value from verification side, only with
    efficient, direct value access instead of actual call to
    map lookup helper as in the typical case.

Currently, only support for static global variables has been
added, and libbpf rejects non-static global variables from
loading. This can be lifted until we have proper semantics
for how BPF will treat multi-object BPF loads. From BTF side,
libbpf will set the value type id of the types corresponding
to the ".bss", ".data" and ".rodata" names which LLVM will
emit without the object name prefix. The key type will be
left as zero, thus making use of the key-less BTF option in
array maps.

For Cilium use-case in particular, this enables migrating configuration
constants from Cilium daemon's generated header defines into global
data sections such that expensive runtime recompilations with LLVM can
be avoided altogether. Instead, the ELF file becomes effectively a
"template", meaning, it is compiled only once (!) and the Cilium daemon
will then rewrite relevant configuration data from the ELF's .data or
.rodata sections directly instead of recompiling the program. The
updated ELF is then loaded into the kernel and atomically replaces
the existing program in the networking datapath. More info in [0].

Based upon recent fix in LLVM, commit c0db6b6bd444 ("[BPF] Don't fail
for static variables").

Daniel Borkmann bbd32bd59d bpf: sync {btf, bpf}.h uapi header from tools infrastructure
Pull in latest changes from both headers, so we can make use of
them in libbpf.

Daniel Borkmann d3a6d054df bpf, libbpf: clarify bump in libbpf version info
The current documentation suggests that we would need to bump the
libbpf version on every change. Lets clarify this a bit more and
reflect what we do today in practice, that is, bumping it once per
development cycle.

Daniel Borkmann a0e4e323bb bpf: add ring_buffer.h drop in replacement header
Add fast variant for x86-64 for now, and we can later extend for
others upon demand.
