Add a ynl netdev family operation called queue-create that creates a
new queue on a netdevice:
name: queue-create
attribute-set: queue
flags: [admin-perm]
do:
request:
attributes:
- ifindex
- type
- lease
reply: &queue-create-op
attributes:
- id
This is a generic operation such that it can be extended for various
use cases in future. Right now it is mandatory to specify ifindex,
the queue type which is enforced to rx and a lease. The newly created
queue id is returned to the caller.
A queue from a virtual device can have a lease which refers to another
queue from a physical device. This is useful for memory providers
and AF_XDP operations which take an ifindex and queue id to allow
applications to bind against virtual devices in containers. The lease
couples both queues together and allows to proxy the operations from
a virtual device in a container to the physical device.
In future, the nested lease attribute can be lifted and made optional
for other use-cases such as dynamic queue creation for physical
netdevs. The lack of lease and the specification of the physical
device as an ifindex will imply that we need a real queue to be
allocated. Similarly, the queue type enforcement to rx can then be
lifted as well to support tx.
An early implementation had only driver-specific integration [0], but
in order for other virtual devices to reuse, it makes sense to have
this as a generic API in core net.
For leasing queues, the virtual netdev must have real_num_rx_queues
less than num_rx_queues at the time of calling queue-create. The
queue-type must be rx as only rx queues are supported for leasing
for now. We also enforce that the queue-create ifindex must point
to a virtual device, and that the nested lease attribute's ifindex
must point to a physical device. The nested lease attribute set
contains a netns-id attribute which is optional and can specify a
netns-id relative to the caller's netns. It requires cap_net_admin
and if the netns-id attribute is not specified, the lease ifindex
will be retrieved from the current netns. Also, it is modeled as
an s32 type similarly as done elsewhere in the stack.

CO-RE accessor strings are colon-separated indices that describe a path
from a root BTF type to a target field, e.g. "0:1:2" walks through
nested struct members. bpf_core_parse_spec() parses each component with
sscanf("%d"), so negative values like -1 are silently accepted. The
subsequent bounds checks (access_idx >= btf_vlen(t)) only guard the
upper bound and always pass for negative values because C integer
promotion converts the __u16 btf_vlen result to int, making the
comparison (int)(-1) >= (int)(N) false for any positive N.
When -1 reaches btf_member_bit_offset() it gets cast to u32 0xffffffff,
producing an out-of-bounds read far past the members array. A crafted
BPF program with a negative CO-RE accessor on any struct that exists in
vmlinux BTF (e.g. task_struct) crashes the kernel deterministically
during BPF_PROG_LOAD on any system with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y

Support reading in layout fixing endian issues on reading;
also support writing layout section to raw BTF object.
There is not yet an API to populate the layout with meaningful
information.
As part of this, we need to consider multiple valid BTF header
sizes; the original or the layout-extended headers.
So to support this, the "struct btf" representation is modified
to contain a "struct btf_header" and we copy the valid
portion from the raw data to it; this means we can always safely
check fields like btf->hdr.layout_len .
Note if parsed-in BTF has extra header information beyond
sizeof(struct btf_header) - if so we make that BTF ineligible
for modification by setting btf->has_hdr_extra .
Ensure that we handle endianness issues for BTF layout section,
though currently only field that needs this (flags) is unused.

btf__add_btf() currently rejects split BTF sources with -ENOTSUP.
This prevents merging types from multiple kernel module BTFs that
are all split against the same vmlinux base.
Extend btf__add_btf() to handle split BTF sources by:
- Replacing the blanket -ENOTSUP with a validation that src and dst
share the same base BTF pointer when both are split, returning
-EOPNOTSUPP on mismatch.
- Computing src_start_id from the source's base to distinguish base
type ID references (which must remain unchanged) from split type
IDs (which must be remapped to new positions in the destination).
- Using src_btf->nr_types instead of btf__type_cnt()-1 for the type
count, which is correct for both split and non-split sources.
- Skipping base string offsets (< start_str_off) during the string
rewrite loop, mirroring the type ID skip pattern. Since src and
dst share the same base BTF, base string offsets are already valid
and need no remapping.
For non-split sources the behavior is identical: src_start_id is 1,
the type_id < 1 guard is never true (VOID is already skipped), and
the remapping formula reduces to the original. start_str_off is 0
so no string offsets are skipped.

Commit 728ff167910e ("libbpf: Add gating for arena globals relocation feature")
adds a feature gate check that loads a map and BPF program to
test the running kernel supports large direct offsets for LDIMM64
instructions. This check is currently used to calculate arena symbol
offsets during bpf_object__collect_relos, itself called by
bpf_object_open.
However, the program calling bpf_object_open may not have the permissions to
load maps and programs. This is the case with the BPF selftests, where
bpftool is invoked at compilation time during skeleton generation. This
causes errors as the feature gate unexpectedly fails with -EPERM.
Avoid this by moving all the use of the FEAT_LDIMM64_FULL_RANGE_OFF feature gate
to BPF object preparation time instead.

Commit 728ff167910e uses a PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT BPF test program to
check whether the running kernel supports large LDIMM64 offsets. The
feature gate incorrectly assumes that the program will fail at
verification time with one of two messages, depending on whether the
feature is supported by the running kernel. However,
PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT programs may fail to load before verification even
starts, e.g., if the shell does not have the appropriate capabilities.
Use a BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER program for the feature gate instead.
Also fix two minor issues. First, ensure the log buffer for the test is
initialized: Failing program load before verification led to libbpf dumping
uninitialized data to stdout. Also, ensure that close() is only called
for program_fd in the probe if the program load actually succeeded. The
call was currently failing silently with -EBADF most of the time.

Add a single device mode for netkit instead of netkit pairs. The primary
target for the paired devices is to connect network namespaces, of course,
and support has been implemented in projects like Cilium [0]. For the rxq
leasing the plan is to support two main scenarios related to single device
mode:
* For the use-case of io_uring zero-copy, the control plane can either
set up a netkit pair where the peer device can perform rxq leasing which
is then tied to the lifetime of the peer device, or the control plane
can use a regular netkit pair to connect the hostns to a Pod/container
and dynamically add/remove rxq leasing through a single device without
having to interrupt the device pair. In the case of io_uring, the memory
pool is used as skb non-linear pages, and thus the skb will go its way
through the regular stack into netkit. Things like the netkit policy when
no BPF is attached or skb scrubbing etc apply as-is in case the paired
devices are used, or if the backend memory is tied to the single device
and traffic goes through a paired device.
* For the use-case of AF_XDP, the control plane needs to use netkit in the
single device mode. The single device mode currently enforces only a
pass policy when no BPF is attached, and does not yet support BPF link
attachments for AF_XDP. skbs sent to that device get dropped at the
moment. Given AF_XDP operates at a lower layer of the stack tying this
to the netkit pair did not make sense. In future, the plan is to allow
BPF at the XDP layer which can: i) process traffic coming from the AF_XDP
application (e.g. QEMU with AF_XDP backend) to filter egress traffic or
to push selected egress traffic up to the single netkit device to the
local stack (e.g. DHCP requests), and ii) vice-versa skbs sent to the
single netkit into the AF_XDP application (e.g. DHCP replies). Also,
the control-plane can dynamically manage rxq leasing for the single
netkit device without having to interrupt (e.g. down/up cycle) the main
netkit pair for the Pod which has traffic going in and out.

name: queue-create
attribute-set: queue
flags: [admin-perm]
do:
request:
attributes:
- ifindex

This is a generic operation such that it can be extended for various

A queue from a virtual device can have a lease which refers to another

and AF_XDP operations which take an ifindex and queue id to allow
applications to bind against virtual devices in containers. The lease
couples both queues together and allows to proxy the operations from
a virtual device in a container to the physical device.
In future, the nested lease attribute can be lifted and made optional
for other use-cases such as dynamic queue creation for physical
netdevs. The lack of lease and the specification of the physical
device as an ifindex will imply that we need a real queue to be
allocated. Similarly, the queue type enforcement to rx can then be

An early implementation had only driver-specific integration [0], but
in order for other virtual devices to reuse, it makes sense to have

For leasing queues, the virtual netdev must have real_num_rx_queue
less than num_rx_queues at the time of calling queue-create. The
queue-type must be rx as only rx queues are supported for leasing
for now. We also enforce that the queue-create ifindex must point
to a virtual device, and that the nested lease attribute's ifindex
must point to a physical device. The nested lease attribute set
contains a netns-id attribute which is currently only intended for
dumping as part of the queue-get operation. Also, it is modeled as
an s32 type similarly as done elsewhere in the stack.

This commit adds shared shaper state across the cake instances beneath a
cake_mq qdisc. It works by periodically tracking the number of active
instances, and scaling the configured rate by the number of active
queues.
The scan is lockless and simply reads the qlen and the last_active state
variable of each of the instances configured beneath the parent cake_mq
instance. Locking is not required since the values are only updated by
the owning instance, and eventual consistency is sufficient for the
purpose of estimating the number of active queues.
The interval for scanning the number of active queues is set to 200 us.
We found this to be a good tradeoff between overhead and response time.

Add feature gating for the arena globals relocation introduced in
commit c1f61171d44b. The commit depends on a previous commit in the
same patchset that is absent from older kernels
(12a1fe6e12db "bpf/verifier: Do not limit maximum direct offset into arena map").
Without this commit, arena globals relocation with arenas >= 512MiB
fails to load and breaks libbpf's backwards compatibility.
Introduce a libbpf feature to check whether the running kernel allows for
full range ldimm64 offset, and only relocate arena globals if it does.
Fixes: c1f61171d44b ("libbpf: Move arena globals to the end of the arena")

With the introduction of the OMR feature, the PEBS memory auxiliary info
field for load and store latency events has been restructured for DMR.
The memory auxiliary info field's bit[8] indicates whether a L2 cache
miss occurred for a memory load or store instruction. If bit[8] is 0,
it signifies no L2 cache miss, and bits[7:0] specify the exact cache data
source (up to the L2 cache level). If bit[8] is 1, bits[7:0] represent
the OMR encoding, indicating the specific L3 cache or memory region
involved in the memory access. A significant enhancement is OMR encoding
provides up to 8 fine-grained memory regions besides the cache region.
A significant enhancement for OMR encoding is the ability to provide
up to 8 fine-grained memory regions in addition to the cache region,
offering more detailed insights into memory access regions.
For detailed information on the memory auxiliary info encoding, please
refer to section 16.2 "PEBS LOAD LATENCY AND STORE LATENCY FACILITY" in
the ISE documentation.
This patch ensures that the PEBS memory auxiliary info field is correctly
interpreted and utilized in DMR.

Introduce __counted_by_ptr(), which works like __counted_by(), but for
pointer struct members.
struct foo {
int a, b, c;
char *buffer __counted_by_ptr(bytes);
short nr_bars;
struct bar *bars __counted_by_ptr(nr_bars);
size_t bytes;
};
Because "counted_by" can only be applied to pointer members in very
recent compiler versions, its application ends up needing to be distinct
from flexibe array "counted_by" annotations, hence a separate macro.
This is a reworking of Kees' previous patch [1].
