f754860e35 bpf, libbpf: Guard bpf inline asm from bpf_tail_call_static
Yaniv reported a compilation error after pulling latest libbpf:

  [...]
  ../libbpf/src/root/usr/include/bpf/bpf_helpers.h:99:10: error:
  unknown register name 'r0' in asm
                     : "r0", "r1", "r2", "r3", "r4", "r5");
  [...]

The issue got triggered given Yaniv was compiling tracing programs with native
target (e.g. x86) instead of BPF target, hence no BTF generated vmlinux.h nor
CO-RE used, and later llc with -march=bpf was invoked to compile from LLVM IR
to BPF object file. Given that clang was expecting x86 inline asm and not BPF
one the error complained that these regs don't exist on the former.

Guard bpf_tail_call_static() with defined(__bpf__) where BPF inline asm is valid
to use. BPF tracing programs on more modern kernels use BPF target anyway and
thus the bpf_tail_call_static() function will be available for them. BPF inline
asm is supported since clang 7 (clang <= 6 otherwise throws same above error),
and __bpf_unreachable() since clang 8, therefore include the latter condition
in order to prevent compilation errors for older clang versions. Given even an
old Ubuntu 18.04 LTS has official LLVM packages all the way up to llvm-10, I did
not bother to special case the __bpf_unreachable() inside bpf_tail_call_static()
further.

Also, undo the sockex3_kern's use of bpf_tail_call_static() sample given they
still have the old hacky way to even compile networking progs with native instead
of BPF target so bpf_tail_call_static() won't be defined there anymore.

78d61150e9 bpf: Fix bpf_redirect_neigh helper api to support supplying nexthop
Based on the discussion in [0], update the bpf_redirect_neigh() helper to
accept an optional parameter specifying the nexthop information. This makes
it possible to combine bpf_fib_lookup() and bpf_redirect_neigh() without
incurring a duplicate FIB lookup - since the FIB lookup helper will return
the nexthop information even if no neighbour is present, this can simply
be passed on to bpf_redirect_neigh() if bpf_fib_lookup() returns
BPF_FIB_LKUP_RET_NO_NEIGH. Thus fix & extend it before helper API is frozen.

d47094a2ce bpf: Allow for map-in-map with dynamic inner array map entries
Recent work in f4d05259213f ("bpf: Add map_meta_equal map ops") and 134fede4eecf
("bpf: Relax max_entries check for most of the inner map types") added support
for dynamic inner max elements for most map-in-map types. Exceptions were maps
like array or prog array where the map_gen_lookup() callback uses the maps'
max_entries field as a constant when emitting instructions.

We recently implemented Maglev consistent hashing into Cilium's load balancer
which uses map-in-map with an outer map being hash and inner being array holding
the Maglev backend table for each service. This has been designed this way in
order to reduce overall memory consumption given the outer hash map allows to
avoid preallocating a large, flat memory area for all services. Also, the
number of service mappings is not always known a-priori.

The use case for dynamic inner array map entries is to further reduce memory
overhead, for example, some services might just have a small number of back
ends while others could have a large number. Right now the Maglev backend table
for small and large number of backends would need to have the same inner array
map entries which adds a lot of unneeded overhead.

Dynamic inner array map entries can be realized by avoiding the inlined code
generation for their lookup. The lookup will still be efficient since it will
be calling into array_map_lookup_elem() directly and thus avoiding retpoline.
The patch adds a BPF_F_INNER_MAP flag to map creation which therefore skips
inline code generation and relaxes array_map_meta_equal() check to ignore both
maps' max_entries. This also still allows to have faster lookups for map-in-map
when BPF_F_INNER_MAP is not specified and hence dynamic max_entries not needed.

Example code generation where inner map is dynamic sized array:

  # bpftool p d x i 125
  int handle__sys_enter(void * ctx):
  ; int handle__sys_enter(void *ctx)
     0: (b4) w1 = 0
  ; int key = 0;
     1: (63) *(u32 *)(r10 -4) = r1
     2: (bf) r2 = r10
  ;
     3: (07) r2 += -4
  ; inner_map = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&outer_arr_dyn, &key);
     4: (18) r1 = map[id:468]
     6: (07) r1 += 272
     7: (61) r0 = *(u32 *)(r2 +0)

4672fb6790 bpf: Add redirect_peer helper
Add an efficient ingress to ingress netns switch that can be used out of tc BPF
programs in order to redirect traffic from host ns ingress into a container
veth device ingress without having to go via CPU backlog queue [0]. For local
containers this can also be utilized and path via CPU backlog queue only needs
to be taken once, not twice. On a high level this borrows from ipvlan which does
similar switch in __netif_receive_skb_core() and then iterates via another_round.
This helps to reduce latency for mentioned use cases.

8ef6a6e709 libbpf: Support safe subset of load/store instruction resizing with CO-RE
Add support for patching instructions of the following form:
  - rX = *(T *)(rY + <off>);
  - *(T *)(rX + <off>) = rY;
  - *(T *)(rX + <off>) = <imm>, where T is one of {u8, u16, u32, u64}.

For such instructions, if the actual kernel field recorded in CO-RE relocation
has a different size than the one recorded locally (e.g., from vmlinux.h),
then libbpf will adjust T to an appropriate 1-, 2-, 4-, or 8-byte loads.

In general, such transformation is not always correct and could lead to
invalid final value being loaded or stored. But two classes of cases are
always safe:
  - if both local and target (kernel) types are unsigned integers, but of
  different sizes, then it's OK to adjust load/store instruction according to
  the necessary memory size. Zero-extending nature of such instructions and
  unsignedness make sure that the final value is always correct;
  - pointer size mismatch between BPF target architecture (which is always
  64-bit) and 32-bit host kernel architecture can be similarly resolved
  automatically, because pointer is essentially an unsigned integer. Loading
  32-bit pointer into 64-bit BPF register with zero extension will leave
  correct pointer in the register.

Both cases are necessary to support CO-RE on 32-bit kernels, as `unsigned
long` in vmlinux.h generated from 32-bit kernel is 32-bit, but when compiled
with BPF program for BPF target it will be treated by compiler as 64-bit
integer. Similarly, pointers in vmlinux.h are 32-bit for kernel, but treated
as 64-bit values by compiler for BPF target. Both problems are now resolved by
libbpf for direct memory reads.

But similar transformations are useful in general when kernel fields are
"resized" from, e.g., unsigned int to unsigned long (or vice versa).

Now, similar transformations for signed integers are not safe to perform as
they will result in incorrect sign extension of the value. If such situation
is detected, libbpf will emit helpful message and will poison the instruction.
Not failing immediately means that it's possible to guard the instruction
based on kernel version (or other conditions) and make sure it's not
reachable.

If there is a need to read signed integers that change sizes between different
kernels, it's possible to use BPF_CORE_READ_BITFIELD() macro, which works both
with bitfields and non-bitfield integers of any signedness and handles
sign-extension properly. Also, bpf_core_read() with proper size and/or use of
bpf_core_field_size() relocation could allow to deal with such complicated
situations explicitly, if not so conventiently as direct memory reads.

Selftests added in a separate patch in progs/test_core_autosize.c demonstrate
both direct memory and probed use cases.

BPF_CORE_READ() is not changed and it won't deal with such situations as
automatically as direct memory reads due to the signedness integer
limitations, which are much harder to detect and control with compiler macro
magic. So it's encouraged to utilize direct memory reads as much as possible.

95848b59b9 libbpf: Fix compatibility problem in xsk_socket__create
Fix a compatibility problem when the old XDP_SHARED_UMEM mode is used
together with the xsk_socket__create() call. In the old XDP_SHARED_UMEM
mode, only sharing of the same device and queue id was allowed, and
in this mode, the fill ring and completion ring were shared between
the AF_XDP sockets.

Therefore, it was perfectly fine to call the xsk_socket__create() API
for each socket and not use the new xsk_socket__create_shared() API.
This behavior was ruined by the commit introducing XDP_SHARED_UMEM
support between different devices and/or queue ids. This patch restores
the ability to use xsk_socket__create in these circumstances so that
backward compatibility is not broken.

b9682e291d bpf, libbpf: Use valid btf in bpf_program__set_attach_target
bpf_program__set_attach_target(prog, fd, ...) will always fail when
fd = 0 (attach to a kernel symbol) because obj->btf_vmlinux is NULL
and there is no way to set it (at the moment btf_vmlinux is meant
to be temporary storage for use in bpf_object__load_xattr()).

Fix this by using libbpf_find_vmlinux_btf_id().

At some point we may want to opportunistically cache btf_vmlinux
so it can be reused with multiple programs.

54fe2f1e26 libbpf: Check if pin_path was set even map fd exist
Say a user reuse map fd after creating a map manually and set the
pin_path, then load the object via libbpf.

In libbpf bpf_object__create_maps(), bpf_object__reuse_map() will
return 0 if there is no pinned map in map->pin_path. Then after
checking if map fd exist, we should also check if pin_path was set
and do bpf_map__pin() instead of continue the loop.

Fix it by creating map if fd not exist and continue checking pin_path
after that.

6d0fcc3bd5 bpf/libbpf: BTF support for typed ksyms
If a ksym is defined with a type, libbpf will try to find the ksym's btf
information from kernel btf. If a valid btf entry for the ksym is found,
libbpf can pass in the found btf id to the verifier, which validates the
ksym's type and value.

Typeless ksyms (i.e. those defined as 'void') will not have such btf_id,
but it has the symbol's address (read from kallsyms) and its value is
treated as a raw pointer.

3706bf773b bpf: Introduce pseudo_btf_id
Pseudo_btf_id is a type of ld_imm insn that associates a btf_id to a
ksym so that further dereferences on the ksym can use the BTF info
to validate accesses. Internally, when seeing a pseudo_btf_id ld insn,
the verifier reads the btf_id stored in the insn[0]'s imm field and
marks the dst_reg as PTR_TO_BTF_ID. The btf_id points to a VAR_KIND,
which is encoded in btf_vminux by pahole. If the VAR is not of a struct
type, the dst reg will be marked as PTR_TO_MEM instead of PTR_TO_BTF_ID
and the mem_size is resolved to the size of the VAR's type.

>From the VAR btf_id, the verifier can also read the address of the
ksym's corresponding kernel var from kallsyms and use that to fill
dst_reg.

Therefore, the proper functionality of pseudo_btf_id depends on (1)
kallsyms and (2) the encoding of kernel global VARs in pahole, which
should be available since pahole v1.18.

80c7838600 bpf, libbpf: Add bpf_tail_call_static helper for bpf programs
Port of tail_call_static() helper function from Cilium's BPF code base [0]
to libbpf, so others can easily consume it as well. We've been using this
in production code for some time now. The main idea is that we guarantee
that the kernel's BPF infrastructure and JIT (here: x86_64) can patch the
JITed BPF insns with direct jumps instead of having to fall back to using
expensive retpolines. By using inline asm, we guarantee that the compiler
won't merge the call from different paths with potentially different
content of r2/r3.

We're also using Cilium's __throw_build_bug() macro (here as: __bpf_unreachable())
in different places as a neat trick to trigger compilation errors when
compiler does not remove code at compilation time. This works for the BPF
back end as it does not implement the __builtin_trap().

750801a0d5 bpf: Add redirect_neigh helper as redirect drop-in
Add a redirect_neigh() helper as redirect() drop-in replacement
for the xmit side. Main idea for the helper is to be very similar
in semantics to the latter just that the skb gets injected into
the neighboring subsystem in order to let the stack do the work
it knows best anyway to populate the L2 addresses of the packet
and then hand over to dev_queue_xmit() as redirect() does.

This solves two bigger items: i) skbs don't need to go up to the
stack on the host facing veth ingress side for traffic egressing
the container to achieve the same for populating L2 which also
has the huge advantage that ii) the skb->sk won't get orphaned in
ip_rcv_core() when entering the IP routing layer on the host stack.

Given that skb->sk neither gets orphaned when crossing the netns
as per 9c4c325252c5 ("skbuff: preserve sock reference when scrubbing
the skb.") the helper can then push the skbs directly to the phys
device where FQ scheduler can do its work and TCP stack gets proper
backpressure given we hold on to skb->sk as long as skb is still
residing in queues.

With the helper used in BPF data path to then push the skb to the
phys device, I observed a stable/consistent TCP_STREAM improvement
on veth devices for traffic going container -> host -> host ->
container from ~10Gbps to ~15Gbps for a single stream in my test
environment.

Similarly to 5a52ae4e32a6 ("bpf: Allow to retrieve cgroup v1 classid
from v2 hooks"), add a helper to retrieve cgroup v1 classid solely
based on the skb->sk, so it can be used as key as part of BPF map
lookups out of tc from host ns, in particular given the skb->sk is
retained these days when crossing net ns thanks to 9c4c325252c5
("skbuff: preserve sock reference when scrubbing the skb."). This
is similar to bpf_skb_cgroup_id() which implements the same for v2.
Kubernetes ecosystem is still operating on v1 however, hence net_cls
needs to be used there until this can be dropped in with the v2
helper of bpf_skb_cgroup_id().

5e359219aa bpf: Support attaching freplace programs to multiple attach points
This enables support for attaching freplace programs to multiple attach
points. It does this by amending the UAPI for bpf_link_Create with a target
btf ID that can be used to supply the new attachment point along with the
target program fd. The target must be compatible with the target that was
supplied at program load time.

The implementation reuses the checks that were factored out of
check_attach_btf_id() to ensure compatibility between the BTF types of the
old and new attachment. If these match, a new bpf_tracing_link will be
created for the new attach target, allowing multiple attachments to
co-exist simultaneously.

The code could theoretically support multiple-attach of other types of
tracing programs as well, but since I don't have a use case for any of
those, there is no API support for doing so.

488110df60 libbpf: Support BTF loading and raw data output in both endianness
Teach BTF to recognized wrong endianness and transparently convert it
internally to host endianness. Original endianness of BTF will be preserved
and used during btf__get_raw_data() to convert resulting raw data to the same
endianness and a source raw_data. This means that little-endian host can parse
big-endian BTF with no issues, all the type data will be presented to the
client application in native endianness, but when it's time for emitting BTF
to persist it in a file (e.g., after BTF deduplication), original non-native
endianness will be preserved and stored.

It's possible to query original endianness of BTF data with new
btf__endianness() API. It's also possible to override desired output
endianness with btf__set_endianness(), so that if application needs to load,
say, big-endian BTF and store it as little-endian BTF, it's possible to
manually override this. If btf__set_endianness() was used to change
endianness, btf__endianness() will reflect overridden endianness.

Given there are no known use cases for supporting cross-endianness for
.BTF.ext, loading .BTF.ext in non-native endianness is not supported.

6f90197ab0 libbpf: Add btf__str_by_offset() as a more generic variant of name_by_offset
BTF strings are used not just for names, they can be arbitrary strings used
for CO-RE relocations, line/func infos, etc. Thus "name_by_offset" terminology
is too specific and might be misleading. Instead, introduce
btf__str_by_offset() API which uses generic string terminology.

a388fcb0f5 libbpf: Add BTF writing APIs
Add APIs for appending new BTF types at the end of BTF object.

Each BTF kind has either one API of the form btf__add_<kind>(). For types
that have variable amount of additional items (struct/union, enum, func_proto,
datasec), additional API is provided to emit each such item. E.g., for
emitting a struct, one would use the following sequence of API calls:

btf__add_struct(...);
btf__add_field(...);
...
btf__add_field(...);

Each btf__add_field() will ensure that the last BTF type is of STRUCT or
UNION kind and will automatically increment that type's vlen field.

All the strings are provided as C strings (const char *), not a string offset.
This significantly improves usability of BTF writer APIs. All such strings
will be automatically appended to string section or existing string will be
re-used, if such string was already added previously.

Each API attempts to do all the reasonable validations, like enforcing
non-empty names for entities with required names, proper value bounds, various
bit offset restrictions, etc.

Type ID validation is minimal because it's possible to emit a type that refers
to type that will be emitted later, so libbpf has no way to enforce such
cases. User must be careful to properly emit all the necessary types and
specify type IDs that will be valid in the finally generated BTF.

Each of btf__add_<kind>() APIs return new type ID on success or negative
value on error. APIs like btf__add_field() that emit additional items
return zero on success and negative value on error.

2654268c79 bpf: Add bpf_seq_printf_btf helper
A helper is added to allow seq file writing of kernel data
structures using vmlinux BTF.  Its signature is

long bpf_seq_printf_btf(struct seq_file *m, struct btf_ptr *ptr,
                        u32 btf_ptr_size, u64 flags);

Flags and struct btf_ptr definitions/use are identical to the
bpf_snprintf_btf helper, and the helper returns 0 on success
or a negative error value.

e7647823a1 bpf: Add bpf_snprintf_btf helper
A helper is added to support tracing kernel type information in BPF
using the BPF Type Format (BTF).  Its signature is

long bpf_snprintf_btf(char *str, u32 str_size, struct btf_ptr *ptr,
		      u32 btf_ptr_size, u64 flags);

struct btf_ptr * specifies

- a pointer to the data to be traced
- the BTF id of the type of data pointed to
- a flags field is provided for future use; these flags
  are not to be confused with the BTF_F_* flags
  below that control how the btf_ptr is displayed; the
  flags member of the struct btf_ptr may be used to
  disambiguate types in kernel versus module BTF, etc;
  the main distinction is the flags relate to the type
  and information needed in identifying it; not how it
  is displayed.

For example a BPF program with a struct sk_buff *skb
could do the following:

	static struct btf_ptr b = { };

	b.ptr = skb;
	b.type_id = __builtin_btf_type_id(struct sk_buff, 1);
	bpf_snprintf_btf(str, sizeof(str), &b, sizeof(b), 0, 0);

Default output looks like this:

(struct sk_buff){
 .transport_header = (__u16)65535,
 .mac_header = (__u16)65535,
 .end = (sk_buff_data_t)192,
 .head = (unsigned char *)0x000000007524fd8b,
 .data = (unsigned char *)0x000000007524fd8b,
 .truesize = (unsigned int)768,
 .users = (refcount_t){
  .refs = (atomic_t){
   .counter = (int)1,
  },
 },
}

Flags modifying display are as follows:

- BTF_F_COMPACT:	no formatting around type information
- BTF_F_NONAME:		no struct/union member names/types
- BTF_F_PTR_RAW:	show raw (unobfuscated) pointer values;
			equivalent to %px.
- BTF_F_ZERO:		show zero-valued struct/union members;
			they are not displayed by default

3cfff16611 libbpf: Add btf__new_empty() to create an empty BTF object
Add an ability to create an empty BTF object from scratch. This is going to be
used by pahole for BTF encoding. And also by selftest for convenient creation
of BTF objects.

7ac1547f32 libbpf: Allow modification of BTF and add btf__add_str API
Allow internal BTF representation to switch from default read-only mode, in
which raw BTF data is a single non-modifiable block of memory with BTF header,
types, and strings layed out sequentially and contiguously in memory, into
a writable representation with types and strings data split out into separate
memory regions, that can be dynamically expanded.

Such writable internal representation is transparent to users of libbpf APIs,
but allows to append new types and strings at the end of BTF, which is
a typical use case when generating BTF programmatically. All the basic
guarantees of BTF types and strings layout is preserved, i.e., user can get
`struct btf_type *` pointer and read it directly. Such btf_type pointers might
be invalidated if BTF is modified, so some care is required in such mixed
read/write scenarios.

Switch from read-only to writable configuration happens automatically the
first time when user attempts to modify BTF by either adding a new type or new
string. It is still possible to get raw BTF data, which is a single piece of
memory that can be persisted in ELF section or into a file as raw BTF. Such
raw data memory is also still owned by BTF and will be freed either when BTF
object is freed or if another modification to BTF happens, as any modification
invalidates BTF raw representation.

This patch adds the first two BTF manipulation APIs: btf__add_str(), which
allows to add arbitrary strings to BTF string section, and btf__find_str()
which allows to find existing string offset, but not add it if it's missing.
All the added strings are automatically deduplicated. This is achieved by
maintaining an additional string lookup index for all unique strings. Such
index is built when BTF is switched to modifiable mode. If at that time BTF
strings section contained duplicate strings, they are not de-duplicated. This
is done specifically to not modify the existing content of BTF (types, their
string offsets, etc), which can cause confusion and is especially important
property if there is struct btf_ext associated with struct btf. By following
this "imperfect deduplication" process, btf_ext is kept consitent and correct.
If deduplication of strings is necessary, it can be forced by doing BTF
deduplication, at which point all the strings will be eagerly deduplicated and
all string offsets both in struct btf and struct btf_ext will be updated.
