bpf: Avoid deadlock caused by nested kprobe and fentry bpf programs

BPF program types like kprobe and fentry can cause deadlocks in certain
situations. If a function takes a lock and one of these bpf programs is
hooked to some point in the function's critical section, and if the
bpf program tries to call the same function and take the same lock it will
lead to deadlock. These situations have been reported in the following
bug reports.

bpf: Remove custom build rule

According to the documentation, when building a kernel with the C=2
parameter, all source files should be checked. But this does not happen
for the kernel/bpf/ directory.

$ touch kernel/bpf/core.o
$ make C=2 CHECK=true kernel/bpf/core.o

Outputs:

CHECK scripts/mod/empty.c
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
DESCEND objtool
INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
CC kernel/bpf/core.o

As can be seen the compilation is done, but CHECK is not executed. This
happens because kernel/bpf/Makefile has defined its own rule for
compilation and forgotten the macro that does the check.

There is no need to duplicate the build code, and this rule can be
removed to use generic rules.

libbpf,bpf: Share BTF relocate-related code with kernel

Share relocation implementation with the kernel. As part of this,
we also need the type/string iteration functions so also share
btf_iter.c file. Relocation code in kernel and userspace is identical
save for the impementation of the reparenting of split BTF to the
relocated base BTF and retrieval of the BTF header from "struct btf";
these small functions need separate user-space and kernel implementations
for the separate "struct btf"s they operate upon.

One other wrinkle on the kernel side is we have to map .BTF.ids in
modules as they were generated with the type ids used at BTF encoding
time. btf_relocate() optionally returns an array mapping from old BTF
ids to relocated ids, so we use that to fix up these references where
needed for kfuncs.

kbuild: make -Woverride-init warnings more consistent

The -Woverride-init warn about code that may be intentional or not,
but the inintentional ones tend to be real bugs, so there is a bit of
disagreement on whether this warning option should be enabled by default
and we have multiple settings in scripts/Makefile.extrawarn as well as
individual subsystems.

Older versions of clang only supported -Wno-initializer-overrides with
the same meaning as gcc's -Woverride-init, though all supported versions
now work with both. Because of this difference, an earlier cleanup of
mine accidentally turned the clang warning off for W=1 builds and only
left it on for W=2, while it's still enabled for gcc with W=1.

There is also one driver that only turns the warning off for newer
versions of gcc but not other compilers, and some but not all the
Makefiles still use a cc-disable-warning conditional that is no
longer needed with supported compilers here.

Address all of the above by removing the special cases for clang
and always turning the warning off unconditionally where it got
in the way, using the syntax that is supported by both compilers.

bpf: Introduce bpf_arena.

Introduce bpf_arena, which is a sparse shared memory region between the bpf
program and user space.

Use cases:
1. User space mmap-s bpf_arena and uses it as a traditional mmap-ed
anonymous region, like memcached or any key/value storage. The bpf
program implements an in-kernel accelerator. XDP prog can search for
a key in bpf_arena and return a value without going to user space.
2. The bpf program builds arbitrary data structures in bpf_arena (hash
tables, rb-trees, sparse arrays), while user space consumes it.
3. bpf_arena is a "heap" of memory from the bpf program's point of view.
The user space may mmap it, but bpf program will not convert pointers
to user base at run-time to improve bpf program speed.

Initially, the kernel vm_area and user vma are not populated. User space
can fault in pages within the range. While servicing a page fault,
bpf_arena logic will insert a new page into the kernel and user vmas. The
bpf program can allocate pages from that region via
bpf_arena_alloc_pages(). This kernel function will insert pages into the
kernel vm_area. The subsequent fault-in from user space will populate that
page into the user vma. The BPF_F_SEGV_ON_FAULT flag at arena creation time
can be used to prevent fault-in from user space. In such a case, if a page
is not allocated by the bpf program and not present in the kernel vm_area,
the user process will segfault. This is useful for use cases 2 and 3 above.

bpf_arena_alloc_pages() is similar to user space mmap(). It allocates pages
either at a specific address within the arena or allocates a range with the
maple tree. bpf_arena_free_pages() is analogous to munmap(), which frees
pages and removes the range from the kernel vm_area and from user process
vmas.

bpf_arena can be used as a bpf program "heap" of up to 4GB. The speed of
bpf program is more important than ease of sharing with user space. This is
use case 3. In such a case, the BPF_F_NO_USER_CONV flag is recommended.
It will tell the verifier to treat the rX = bpf_arena_cast_user(rY)
instruction as a 32-bit move wX = wY, which will improve bpf prog
performance. Otherwise, bpf_arena_cast_user is translated by JIT to
conditionally add the upper 32 bits of user vm_start (if the pointer is not
NULL) to arena pointers before they are stored into memory. This way, user
space sees them as valid 64-bit pointers.

Diff https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/84410 enables LLVM BPF
backend generate the bpf_addr_space_cast() instruction to cast pointers
between address_space(1) which is reserved for bpf_arena pointers and
default address space zero. All arena pointers in a bpf program written in
C language are tagged as __attribute__((address_space(1))). Hence, clang
provides helpful diagnostics when pointers cross address space. Libbpf and
the kernel support only address_space == 1. All other address space
identifiers are reserved.

rX = bpf_addr_space_cast(rY, /* dst_as */ 1, /* src_as */ 0) tells the
verifier that rX->type = PTR_TO_ARENA. Any further operations on
PTR_TO_ARENA register have to be in the 32-bit domain. The verifier will
mark load/store through PTR_TO_ARENA with PROBE_MEM32. JIT will generate
them as kern_vm_start + 32bit_addr memory accesses. The behavior is similar
to copy_from_kernel_nofault() except that no address checks are necessary.
The address is guaranteed to be in the 4GB range. If the page is not
present, the destination register is zeroed on read, and the operation is
ignored on write.

rX = bpf_addr_space_cast(rY, 0, 1) tells the verifier that rX->type =
unknown scalar. If arena->map_flags has BPF_F_NO_USER_CONV set, then the
verifier converts such cast instructions to mov32. Otherwise, JIT will emit
native code equivalent to:
rX = (u32)rY;
if (rY)
rX |= clear_lo32_bits(arena->user_vm_start); /* replace hi32 bits in rX */

After such conversion, the pointer becomes a valid user pointer within
bpf_arena range. The user process can access data structures created in
bpf_arena without any additional computations. For example, a linked list
built by a bpf program can be walked natively by user space.

bpf: Introduce BPF token object

Add new kind of BPF kernel object, BPF token. BPF token is meant to
allow delegating privileged BPF functionality, like loading a BPF
program or creating a BPF map, from privileged process to a *trusted*
unprivileged process, all while having a good amount of control over which
privileged operations could be performed using provided BPF token.

This is achieved through mounting BPF FS instance with extra delegation
mount options, which determine what operations are delegatable, and also
constraining it to the owning user namespace (as mentioned in the
previous patch).

BPF token itself is just a derivative from BPF FS and can be created
through a new bpf() syscall command, BPF_TOKEN_CREATE, which accepts BPF
FS FD, which can be attained through open() API by opening BPF FS mount
point. Currently, BPF token "inherits" delegated command, map types,
prog type, and attach type bit sets from BPF FS as is. In the future,
having an BPF token as a separate object with its own FD, we can allow
to further restrict BPF token's allowable set of things either at the
creation time or after the fact, allowing the process to guard itself
further from unintentionally trying to load undesired kind of BPF
programs. But for now we keep things simple and just copy bit sets as is.

When BPF token is created from BPF FS mount, we take reference to the
BPF super block's owning user namespace, and then use that namespace for
checking all the {CAP_BPF, CAP_PERFMON, CAP_NET_ADMIN, CAP_SYS_ADMIN}
capabilities that are normally only checked against init userns (using
capable()), but now we check them using ns_capable() instead (if BPF
token is provided). See bpf_token_capable() for details.

Such setup means that BPF token in itself is not sufficient to grant BPF
functionality. User namespaced process has to *also* have necessary
combination of capabilities inside that user namespace. So while
previously CAP_BPF was useless when granted within user namespace, now
it gains a meaning and allows container managers and sys admins to have
a flexible control over which processes can and need to use BPF
functionality within the user namespace (i.e., container in practice).
And BPF FS delegation mount options and derived BPF tokens serve as
a per-container "flag" to grant overall ability to use bpf() (plus further
restrict on which parts of bpf() syscalls are treated as namespaced).

Note also, BPF_TOKEN_CREATE command itself requires ns_capable(CAP_BPF)
within the BPF FS owning user namespace, rounding up the ns_capable()
story of BPF token. Also creating BPF token in init user namespace is
currently not supported, given BPF token doesn't have any effect in init
user namespace anyways.

bpf: Add fd-based tcx multi-prog infra with link support

This work refactors and adds a lightweight extension ("tcx") to the tc BPF
ingress and egress data path side for allowing BPF program management based
on fds via bpf() syscall through the newly added generic multi-prog API.
The main goal behind this work which we also presented at LPC [0] last year
and a recent update at LSF/MM/BPF this year [3] is to support long-awaited
BPF link functionality for tc BPF programs, which allows for a model of safe
ownership and program detachment.

Given the rise in tc BPF users in cloud native environments, this becomes
necessary to avoid hard to debug incidents either through stale leftover
programs or 3rd party applications accidentally stepping on each others toes.
As a recap, a BPF link represents the attachment of a BPF program to a BPF
hook point. The BPF link holds a single reference to keep BPF program alive.
Moreover, hook points do not reference a BPF link, only the application's
fd or pinning does. A BPF link holds meta-data specific to attachment and
implements operations for link creation, (atomic) BPF program update,
detachment and introspection. The motivation for BPF links for tc BPF programs
is multi-fold, for example:

- From Meta: "It's especially important for applications that are deployed
fleet-wide and that don't "control" hosts they are deployed to. If such
application crashes and no one notices and does anything about that, BPF
program will keep running draining resources or even just, say, dropping
packets. We at FB had outages due to such permanent BPF attachment
semantics. With fd-based BPF link we are getting a framework, which allows
safe, auto-detachable behavior by default, unless application explicitly
opts in by pinning the BPF link." [1]

- From Cilium-side the tc BPF programs we attach to host-facing veth devices
and phys devices build the core datapath for Kubernetes Pods, and they
implement forwarding, load-balancing, policy, EDT-management, etc, within
BPF. Currently there is no concept of 'safe' ownership, e.g. we've recently
experienced hard-to-debug issues in a user's staging environment where
another Kubernetes application using tc BPF attached to the same prio/handle
of cls_bpf, accidentally wiping all Cilium-based BPF programs from underneath
it. The goal is to establish a clear/safe ownership model via links which
cannot accidentally be overridden. [0,2]

BPF links for tc can co-exist with non-link attachments, and the semantics are
in line also with XDP links: BPF links cannot replace other BPF links, BPF
links cannot replace non-BPF links, non-BPF links cannot replace BPF links and
lastly only non-BPF links can replace non-BPF links. In case of Cilium, this
would solve mentioned issue of safe ownership model as 3rd party applications
would not be able to accidentally wipe Cilium programs, even if they are not
BPF link aware.

Earlier attempts [4] have tried to integrate BPF links into core tc machinery
to solve cls_bpf, which has been intrusive to the generic tc kernel API with
extensions only specific to cls_bpf and suboptimal/complex since cls_bpf could
be wiped from the qdisc also. Locking a tc BPF program in place this way, is
getting into layering hacks given the two object models are vastly different.

We instead implemented the tcx (tc 'express') layer which is an fd-based tc BPF
attach API, so that the BPF link implementation blends in naturally similar to
other link types which are fd-based and without the need for changing core tc
internal APIs. BPF programs for tc can then be successively migrated from classic
cls_bpf to the new tc BPF link without needing to change the program's source
code, just the BPF loader mechanics for attaching is sufficient.

For the current tc framework, there is no change in behavior with this change
and neither does this change touch on tc core kernel APIs. The gist of this
patch is that the ingress and egress hook have a lightweight, qdisc-less
extension for BPF to attach its tc BPF programs, in other words, a minimal
entry point for tc BPF. The name tcx has been suggested from discussion of
earlier revisions of this work as a good fit, and to more easily differ between
the classic cls_bpf attachment and the fd-based one.

For the ingress and egress tcx points, the device holds a cache-friendly array
with program pointers which is separated from control plane (slow-path) data.
Earlier versions of this work used priority to determine ordering and expression
of dependencies similar as with classic tc, but it was challenged that for
something more future-proof a better user experience is required. Hence this
resulted in the design and development of the generic attach/detach/query API
for multi-progs. See prior patch with its discussion on the API design. tcx is
the first user and later we plan to integrate also others, for example, one
candidate is multi-prog support for XDP which would benefit and have the same
'look and feel' from API perspective.

The goal with tcx is to have maximum compatibility to existing tc BPF programs,
so they don't need to be rewritten specifically. Compatibility to call into
classic tcf_classify() is also provided in order to allow successive migration
or both to cleanly co-exist where needed given its all one logical tc layer and
the tcx plus classic tc cls/act build one logical overall processing pipeline.

tcx supports the simplified return codes TCX_NEXT which is non-terminating (go
to next program) and terminating ones with TCX_PASS, TCX_DROP, TCX_REDIRECT.
The fd-based API is behind a static key, so that when unused the code is also
not entered. The struct tcx_entry's program array is currently static, but
could be made dynamic if necessary at a point in future. The a/b pair swap
design has been chosen so that for detachment there are no allocations which
otherwise could fail.

The work has been tested with tc-testing selftest suite which all passes, as
well as the tc BPF tests from the BPF CI, and also with Cilium's L4LB.

Thanks also to Nikolay Aleksandrov and Martin Lau for in-depth early reviews
of this work.

bpf: Add generic attach/detach/query API for multi-progs

This adds a generic layer called bpf_mprog which can be reused by different
attachment layers to enable multi-program attachment and dependency resolution.
In-kernel users of the bpf_mprog don't need to care about the dependency
resolution internals, they can just consume it with few API calls.

The initial idea of having a generic API sparked out of discussion [0] from an
earlier revision of this work where tc's priority was reused and exposed via
BPF uapi as a way to coordinate dependencies among tc BPF programs, similar
as-is for classic tc BPF. The feedback was that priority provides a bad user
experience and is hard to use [1], e.g.:

I cannot help but feel that priority logic copy-paste from old tc, netfilter
and friends is done because "that's how things were done in the past". [...]
Priority gets exposed everywhere in uapi all the way to bpftool when it's
right there for users to understand. And that's the main problem with it.

The user don't want to and don't need to be aware of it, but uapi forces them
to pick the priority. [...] Your cover letter [0] example proves that in
real life different service pick the same priority. They simply don't know
any better. Priority is an unnecessary magic that apps _have_ to pick, so
they just copy-paste and everyone ends up using the same.

The course of the discussion showed more and more the need for a generic,
reusable API where the "same look and feel" can be applied for various other
program types beyond just tc BPF, for example XDP today does not have multi-
program support in kernel, but also there was interest around this API for
improving management of cgroup program types. Such common multi-program
management concept is useful for BPF management daemons or user space BPF
applications coordinating internally about their attachments.

Both from Cilium and Meta side [2], we've collected the following requirements
for a generic attach/detach/query API for multi-progs which has been implemented
as part of this work:

- Support prog-based attach/detach and link API
- Dependency directives (can also be combined):
- BPF_F_{BEFORE,AFTER} with relative_{fd,id} which can be {prog,link,none}
- BPF_F_ID flag as {fd,id} toggle; the rationale for id is so that user
space application does not need CAP_SYS_ADMIN to retrieve foreign fds
via bpf_*_get_fd_by_id()
- BPF_F_LINK flag as {prog,link} toggle
- If relative_{fd,id} is none, then BPF_F_BEFORE will just prepend, and
BPF_F_AFTER will just append for attaching
- Enforced only at attach time
- BPF_F_REPLACE with replace_bpf_fd which can be prog, links have their
own infra for replacing their internal prog
- If no flags are set, then it's default append behavior for attaching
- Internal revision counter and optionally being able to pass expected_revision
- User space application can query current state with revision, and pass it
along for attachment to assert current state before doing updates
- Query also gets extension for link_ids array and link_attach_flags:
- prog_ids are always filled with program IDs
- link_ids are filled with link IDs when link was used, otherwise 0
- {prog,link}_attach_flags for holding {prog,link}-specific flags
- Must be easy to integrate/reuse for in-kernel users

The uapi-side changes needed for supporting bpf_mprog are rather minimal,
consisting of the additions of the attachment flags, revision counter, and
expanding existing union with relative_{fd,id} member.

The bpf_mprog framework consists of an bpf_mprog_entry object which holds
an array of bpf_mprog_fp (fast-path structure). The bpf_mprog_cp (control-path
structure) is part of bpf_mprog_bundle. Both have been separated, so that
fast-path gets efficient packing of bpf_prog pointers for maximum cache
efficiency. Also, array has been chosen instead of linked list or other
structures to remove unnecessary indirections for a fast point-to-entry in
tc for BPF.

The bpf_mprog_entry comes as a pair via bpf_mprog_bundle so that in case of
updates the peer bpf_mprog_entry is populated and then just swapped which
avoids additional allocations that could otherwise fail, for example, in
detach case. bpf_mprog_{fp,cp} arrays are currently static, but they could
be converted to dynamic allocation if necessary at a point in future.
Locking is deferred to the in-kernel user of bpf_mprog, for example, in case
of tcx which uses this API in the next patch, it piggybacks on rtnl.

An extensive test suite for checking all aspects of this API for prog-based
attach/detach and link API comes as BPF selftests in this series.

Thanks also to Andrii Nakryiko for early API discussions wrt Meta's BPF prog
management.

bpf: Split off basic BPF verifier log into separate file

kernel/bpf/verifier.c file is large and growing larger all the time. So
it's good to start splitting off more or less self-contained parts into
separate files to keep source code size (somewhat) somewhat under
control.

This patch is a one step in this direction, moving some of BPF verifier log
routines into a separate kernel/bpf/log.c. Right now it's most low-level
and isolated routines to append data to log, reset log to previous
position, etc. Eventually we could probably move verifier state
printing logic here as well, but this patch doesn't attempt to do that
yet.

Subsequent patches will add more logic to verifier log management, so
having basics in a separate file will make sure verifier.c doesn't grow
more with new changes.

bpf: Enable cpumasks to be queried and used as kptrs

Certain programs may wish to be able to query cpumasks. For example, if
a program that is tracing percpu operations wishes to track which tasks
end up running on which CPUs, it could be useful to associate that with
the tasks' cpumasks. Similarly, programs tracking NUMA allocations, CPU
scheduling domains, etc, could potentially benefit from being able to
see which CPUs a task could be migrated to.

This patch enables these types of use cases by introducing a series of
bpf_cpumask_* kfuncs. Amongst these kfuncs, there are two separate
"classes" of operations:

1. kfuncs which allow the caller to allocate and mutate their own
cpumask kptrs in the form of a struct bpf_cpumask * object. Such
kfuncs include e.g. bpf_cpumask_create() to allocate the cpumask, and
bpf_cpumask_or() to mutate it. "Regular" cpumasks such as p->cpus_ptr
may not be passed to these kfuncs, and the verifier will ensure this
is the case by comparing BTF IDs.

2. Read-only operations which operate on const struct cpumask *
arguments. For example, bpf_cpumask_test_cpu(), which tests whether a
CPU is set in the cpumask. Any trusted struct cpumask * or struct
bpf_cpumask * may be passed to these kfuncs. The verifier allows
struct bpf_cpumask * even though the kfunc is defined with struct
cpumask * because the first element of a struct bpf_cpumask is a
cpumask_t, so it is safe to cast.

A follow-on patch will add selftests which validate these kfuncs, and
another will document them.

bpf: Implement cgroup storage available to non-cgroup-attached bpf progs

Similar to sk/inode/task storage, implement similar cgroup local storage.

There already exists a local storage implementation for cgroup-attached
bpf programs. See map type BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE and helper
bpf_get_local_storage(). But there are use cases such that non-cgroup
attached bpf progs wants to access cgroup local storage data. For example,
tc egress prog has access to sk and cgroup. It is possible to use
sk local storage to emulate cgroup local storage by storing data in socket.
But this is a waste as it could be lots of sockets belonging to a particular
cgroup. Alternatively, a separate map can be created with cgroup id as the key.
But this will introduce additional overhead to manipulate the new map.
A cgroup local storage, similar to existing sk/inode/task storage,
should help for this use case.

The life-cycle of storage is managed with the life-cycle of the
cgroup struct. i.e. the storage is destroyed along with the owning cgroup
with a call to bpf_cgrp_storage_free() when cgroup itself
is deleted.

The userspace map operations can be done by using a cgroup fd as a key
passed to the lookup, update and delete operations.

Typically, the following code is used to get the current cgroup:
struct task_struct *task = bpf_get_current_task_btf();
... task->cgroups->dfl_cgrp ...
and in structure task_struct definition:
struct task_struct {
....
struct css_set __rcu *cgroups;
....
}
With sleepable program, accessing task->cgroups is not protected by rcu_read_lock.
So the current implementation only supports non-sleepable program and supporting
sleepable program will be the next step together with adding rcu_read_lock
protection for rcu tagged structures.

Since map name BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE has been used for old cgroup local
storage support, the new map name BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE is used
for cgroup storage available to non-cgroup-attached bpf programs. The old
cgroup storage supports bpf_get_local_storage() helper to get the cgroup data.
The new cgroup storage helper bpf_cgrp_storage_get() can provide similar
functionality. While old cgroup storage pre-allocates storage memory, the new
mechanism can also pre-allocate with a user space bpf_map_update_elem() call
to avoid potential run-time memory allocation failure.
Therefore, the new cgroup storage can provide all functionality w.r.t.
the old one. So in uapi bpf.h, the old BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE is alias to
BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED to indicate the old cgroup storage can
be deprecated since the new one can provide the same functionality.

bpf: Introduce any context BPF specific memory allocator.

Tracing BPF programs can attach to kprobe and fentry. Hence they
run in unknown context where calling plain kmalloc() might not be safe.

Front-end kmalloc() with minimal per-cpu cache of free elements.
Refill this cache asynchronously from irq_work.

BPF programs always run with migration disabled.
It's safe to allocate from cache of the current cpu with irqs disabled.
Free-ing is always done into bucket of the current cpu as well.
irq_work trims extra free elements from buckets with kfree
and refills them with kmalloc, so global kmalloc logic takes care
of freeing objects allocated by one cpu and freed on another.

struct bpf_mem_alloc supports two modes:
- When size != 0 create kmem_cache and bpf_mem_cache for each cpu.
This is typical bpf hash map use case when all elements have equal size.
- When size == 0 allocate 11 bpf_mem_cache-s for each cpu, then rely on
kmalloc/kfree. Max allocation size is 4096 in this case.
This is bpf_dynptr and bpf_kptr use case.

bpf_mem_alloc/bpf_mem_free are bpf specific 'wrappers' of kmalloc/kfree.
bpf_mem_cache_alloc/bpf_mem_cache_free are 'wrappers' of kmem_cache_alloc/kmem_cache_free.

The allocators are NMI-safe from bpf programs only. They are not NMI-safe in general.

- walking a cgroup's descendants in post-order.

bpf: Introduce cgroup iter

Cgroup_iter is a type of bpf_iter. It walks over cgroups in four modes:

- walking a cgroup's descendants in pre-order.
- walking a cgroup's descendants in post-order.
- walking a cgroup's ancestors.
- process only the given cgroup.

When attaching cgroup_iter, one can set a cgroup to the iter_link
created from attaching. This cgroup is passed as a file descriptor
or cgroup id and serves as the starting point of the walk. If no
cgroup is specified, the starting point will be the root cgroup v2.

For walking descendants, one can specify the order: either pre-order or
post-order. For walking ancestors, the walk starts at the specified
cgroup and ends at the root.

One can also terminate the walk early by returning 1 from the iter
program.

Note that because walking cgroup hierarchy holds cgroup_mutex, the iter
program is called with cgroup_mutex held.

Currently only one session is supported, which means, depending on the
volume of data bpf program intends to send to user space, the number
of cgroups that can be walked is limited. For example, given the current
buffer size is 8 * PAGE_SIZE, if the program sends 64B data for each
cgroup, assuming PAGE_SIZE is 4kb, the total number of cgroups that can
be walked is 512. This is a limitation of cgroup_iter. If the output
data is larger than the kernel buffer size, after all data in the
kernel buffer is consumed by user space, the subsequent read() syscall
will signal EOPNOTSUPP. In order to work around, the user may have to
update their program to reduce the volume of data sent to output. For
example, skip some uninteresting cgroups. In future, we may extend
bpf_iter flags to allow customizing buffer size.

bpf: Add bloom filter map implementation

This patch adds the kernel-side changes for the implementation of
a bpf bloom filter map.

The bloom filter map supports peek (determining whether an element
is present in the map) and push (adding an element to the map)
operations.These operations are exposed to userspace applications
through the already existing syscalls in the following way:

BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM -> peek
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM -> push

The bloom filter map does not have keys, only values. In light of
this, the bloom filter map's API matches that of queue stack maps:
user applications use BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM/BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM
which correspond internally to bpf_map_peek_elem/bpf_map_push_elem,
and bpf programs must use the bpf_map_peek_elem and bpf_map_push_elem
APIs to query or add an element to the bloom filter map. When the
bloom filter map is created, it must be created with a key_size of 0.

For updates, the user will pass in the element to add to the map
as the value, with a NULL key. For lookups, the user will pass in the
element to query in the map as the value, with a NULL key. In the
verifier layer, this requires us to modify the argument type of
a bloom filter's BPF_FUNC_map_peek_elem call to ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE;
as well, in the syscall layer, we need to copy over the user value
so that in bpf_map_peek_elem, we know which specific value to query.

A few things to please take note of:
* If there are any concurrent lookups + updates, the user is
responsible for synchronizing this to ensure no false negative lookups
occur.
* The number of hashes to use for the bloom filter is configurable from
userspace. If no number is specified, the default used will be 5 hash
functions. The benchmarks later in this patchset can help compare the
performance of using different number of hashes on different entry
sizes. In general, using more hashes decreases both the false positive
rate and the speed of a lookup.
* Deleting an element in the bloom filter map is not supported.
* The bloom filter map may be used as an inner map.
* The "max_entries" size that is specified at map creation time is used
to approximate a reasonable bitmap size for the bloom filter, and is not
otherwise strictly enforced. If the user wishes to insert more entries
into the bloom filter than "max_entries", they may do so but they should
be aware that this may lead to a higher false positive rate.

bpf: Enable task local storage for tracing programs

To access per-task data, BPF programs usually creates a hash table with
pid as the key. This is not ideal because:
1. The user need to estimate the proper size of the hash table, which may
be inaccurate;
2. Big hash tables are slow;
3. To clean up the data properly during task terminations, the user need
to write extra logic.

Task local storage overcomes these issues and offers a better option for
these per-task data. Task local storage is only available to BPF_LSM. Now
enable it for tracing programs.

Unlike LSM programs, tracing programs can be called in IRQ contexts.
Helpers that access task local storage are updated to use
raw_spin_lock_irqsave() instead of raw_spin_lock_bh().

Tracing programs can attach to functions on the task free path, e.g.
exit_creds(). To avoid allocating task local storage after
bpf_task_storage_free(). bpf_task_storage_get() is updated to not allocate
new storage when the task is not refcounted (task->usage == 0).
