bpf: Convert ringbuf map to rqspinlock

Convert the raw spinlock used by BPF ringbuf to rqspinlock. Currently,
we have an open syzbot report of a potential deadlock. In addition, the
ringbuf can fail to reserve spuriously under contention from NMI
context.

It is potentially attractive to enable unconstrained usage (incl. NMIs)
while ensuring no deadlocks manifest at runtime, perform the conversion
to rqspinlock to achieve this.

This change was benchmarked for BPF ringbuf's multi-producer contention
case on an Intel Sapphire Rapids server, with hyperthreading disabled
and performance governor turned on. 5 warm up runs were done for each
case before obtaining the results.

disturbance, and we see no major regressions.

bpf: unify VM_WRITE vs VM_MAYWRITE use in BPF map mmaping logic

For all BPF maps we ensure that VM_MAYWRITE is cleared when
memory-mapping BPF map contents as initially read-only VMA. This is
because in some cases BPF verifier relies on the underlying data to not
be modified afterwards by user space, so once something is mapped
read-only, it shouldn't be re-mmap'ed as read-write.

As such, it's not necessary to check VM_MAYWRITE in bpf_map_mmap() and
map->ops->map_mmap() callbacks: VM_WRITE should be consistently set for
read-write mappings, and if VM_WRITE is not set, there is no way for
user space to upgrade read-only mapping to read-write one.

This patch cleans up this VM_WRITE vs VM_MAYWRITE handling within
bpf_map_mmap(), which is an entry point for any BPF map mmap()-ing
logic. We also drop unnecessary sanitization of VM_MAYWRITE in BPF
ringbuf's map_mmap() callback implementation, as it is already performed
by common code in bpf_map_mmap().

Note, though, that in bpf_map_mmap_{open,close}() callbacks we can't
drop VM_MAYWRITE use, because it's possible (and is outside of
subsystem's control) to have initially read-write memory mapping, which
is subsequently dropped to read-only by user space through mprotect().
In such case, from BPF verifier POV it's read-write data throughout the
lifetime of BPF map, and is counted as "active writer".

But its VMAs will start out as VM_WRITE|VM_MAYWRITE, then mprotect() can
change it to just VM_MAYWRITE (and no VM_WRITE), so when its finally
munmap()'ed and bpf_map_mmap_close() is called, vm_flags will be just
VM_MAYWRITE, but we still need to decrement active writer count with
bpf_map_write_active_dec() as it's still considered to be a read-write
mapping by the rest of BPF subsystem.

Similar reasoning applies to bpf_map_mmap_open(), which is called
whenever mmap(), munmap(), and/or mprotect() forces mm subsystem to
split original VMA into multiple discontiguous VMAs.

Memory-mapping handling is a bit tricky, yes.

bpf: Add MEM_WRITE attribute

Add a MEM_WRITE attribute for BPF helper functions which can be used in
bpf_func_proto to annotate an argument type in order to let the verifier
know that the helper writes into the memory passed as an argument. In
the past MEM_UNINIT has been (ab)used for this function, but the latter
merely tells the verifier that the passed memory can be uninitialized.

There have been bugs with overloading the latter but aside from that
there are also cases where the passed memory is read + written which
currently cannot be expressed, see also 4b3786a6c539 ("bpf: Zero former
ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} args in case of error").

bpf: Fix overrunning reservations in ringbuf

The BPF ring buffer internally is implemented as a power-of-2 sized circular
buffer, with two logical and ever-increasing counters: consumer_pos is the
consumer counter to show which logical position the consumer consumed the
data, and producer_pos which is the producer counter denoting the amount of
data reserved by all producers.

Each time a record is reserved, the producer that "owns" the record will
successfully advance producer counter. In user space each time a record is
read, the consumer of the data advanced the consumer counter once it finished
processing. Both counters are stored in separate pages so that from user
space, the producer counter is read-only and the consumer counter is read-write.

One aspect that simplifies and thus speeds up the implementation of both
producers and consumers is how the data area is mapped twice contiguously
back-to-back in the virtual memory, allowing to not take any special measures
for samples that have to wrap around at the end of the circular buffer data
area, because the next page after the last data page would be first data page
again, and thus the sample will still appear completely contiguous in virtual
memory.

Each record has a struct bpf_ringbuf_hdr { u32 len; u32 pg_off; } header for
book-keeping the length and offset, and is inaccessible to the BPF program.
Helpers like bpf_ringbuf_reserve() return `(void *)hdr + BPF_RINGBUF_HDR_SZ`
for the BPF program to use. Bing-Jhong and Muhammad reported that it is however
possible to make a second allocated memory chunk overlapping with the first
chunk and as a result, the BPF program is now able to edit first chunk's
header.

For example, consider the creation of a BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF map with size
of 0x4000. Next, the consumer_pos is modified to 0x3000 /before/ a call to
bpf_ringbuf_reserve() is made. This will allocate a chunk A, which is in
[0x0,0x3008], and the BPF program is able to edit [0x8,0x3008]. Now, lets
allocate a chunk B with size 0x3000. This will succeed because consumer_pos
was edited ahead of time to pass the `new_prod_pos - cons_pos > rb->mask`
check. Chunk B will be in range [0x3008,0x6010], and the BPF program is able
to edit [0x3010,0x6010]. Due to the ring buffer memory layout mentioned
earlier, the ranges [0x0,0x4000] and [0x4000,0x8000] point to the same data
pages. This means that chunk B at [0x4000,0x4008] is chunk A's header.
bpf_ringbuf_submit() / bpf_ringbuf_discard() use the header's pg_off to then
locate the bpf_ringbuf itself via bpf_ringbuf_restore_from_rec(). Once chunk
B modified chunk A's header, then bpf_ringbuf_commit() refers to the wrong
page and could cause a crash.

Fix it by calculating the oldest pending_pos and check whether the range
from the oldest outstanding record to the newest would span beyond the ring
buffer size. If that is the case, then reject the request. We've tested with
the ring buffer benchmark in BPF selftests (./benchs/run_bench_ringbufs.sh)
before/after the fix and while it seems a bit slower on some benchmarks, it
is still not significantly enough to matter.

bpf: Fold smp_mb__before_atomic() into atomic_set_release()

The bpf_user_ringbuf_drain() BPF_CALL function uses an atomic_set()
immediately preceded by smp_mb__before_atomic() so as to order storing
of ring-buffer consumer and producer positions prior to the atomic_set()
call's clearing of the ->busy flag, as follows:

smp_mb__before_atomic();
atomic_set(&rb->busy, 0);

Although this works given current architectures and implementations, and
given that this only needs to order prior writes against a later write.
However, it does so by accident because the smp_mb__before_atomic()
is only guaranteed to work with read-modify-write atomic operations, and
not at all with things like atomic_set() and atomic_read().

Note especially that smp_mb__before_atomic() will not, repeat *not*,
order the prior write to "a" before the subsequent non-read-modify-write
atomic read from "b", even on strongly ordered systems such as x86:

WRITE_ONCE(a, 1);
smp_mb__before_atomic();
r1 = atomic_read(&b);

Therefore, replace the smp_mb__before_atomic() and atomic_set() with
atomic_set_release() as follows:

atomic_set_release(&rb->busy, 0);

This is no slower (and sometimes is faster) than the original, and also
provides a formal guarantee of ordering that the original lacks.

bpf: return long from bpf_map_ops funcs

This patch changes the return types of bpf_map_ops functions to long, where
previously int was returned. Using long allows for bpf programs to maintain
the sign bit in the absence of sign extension during situations where
inlined bpf helper funcs make calls to the bpf_map_ops funcs and a negative
error is returned.

The definitions of the helper funcs are generated from comments in the bpf
uapi header at `include/uapi/linux/bpf.h`. The return type of these
helpers was previously changed from int to long in commit bdb7b79b4ce8. For
any case where one of the map helpers call the bpf_map_ops funcs that are
still returning 32-bit int, a compiler might not include sign extension
instructions to properly convert the 32-bit negative value a 64-bit
negative value.

For example:
bpf assembly excerpt of an inlined helper calling a kernel function and
checking for a specific error:

; err = bpf_map_update_elem(&mymap, &key, &val, BPF_NOEXIST);
...
46: call 0xffffffffe103291c ; htab_map_update_elem
; if (err && err != -EEXIST) {
4b: cmp $0xffffffffffffffef,%rax ; cmp -EEXIST,%rax

kernel function assembly excerpt of return value from
`htab_map_update_elem` returning 32-bit int:

movl $0xffffffef, %r9d
...
movl %r9d, %eax

...results in the comparison:
cmp $0xffffffffffffffef, $0x00000000ffffffef

bpf: Rename MEM_ALLOC to MEM_RINGBUF

Currently, verifier uses MEM_ALLOC type tag to specially tag memory
returned from bpf_ringbuf_reserve helper. However, this is currently
only used for this purpose and there is an implicit assumption that it
only refers to ringbuf memory (e.g. the check for ARG_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM
in check_func_arg_reg_off).

Hence, rename MEM_ALLOC to MEM_RINGBUF to indicate this special
relationship and instead open the use of MEM_ALLOC for more generic
allocations made for user types.

Also, since ARG_PTR_TO_ALLOC_MEM_OR_NULL is unused, simply drop it.

Finally, update selftests using 'alloc_' verifier string to 'ringbuf_'.

bpf: Add bpf_user_ringbuf_drain() helper

In a prior change, we added a new BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF map type which
will allow user-space applications to publish messages to a ring buffer
that is consumed by a BPF program in kernel-space. In order for this
map-type to be useful, it will require a BPF helper function that BPF
programs can invoke to drain samples from the ring buffer, and invoke
callbacks on those samples. This change adds that capability via a new BPF
helper function:

bpf_user_ringbuf_drain(struct bpf_map *map, void *callback_fn, void *ctx,
u64 flags)

BPF programs may invoke this function to run callback_fn() on a series of
samples in the ring buffer. callback_fn() has the following signature:

long callback_fn(struct bpf_dynptr *dynptr, void *context);

Samples are provided to the callback in the form of struct bpf_dynptr *'s,
which the program can read using BPF helper functions for querying
struct bpf_dynptr's.

In order to support bpf_ringbuf_drain(), a new PTR_TO_DYNPTR register
type is added to the verifier to reflect a dynptr that was allocated by
a helper function and passed to a BPF program. Unlike PTR_TO_STACK
dynptrs which are allocated on the stack by a BPF program, PTR_TO_DYNPTR
dynptrs need not use reference tracking, as the BPF helper is trusted to
properly free the dynptr before returning. The verifier currently only
supports PTR_TO_DYNPTR registers that are also DYNPTR_TYPE_LOCAL.

Note that while the corresponding user-space libbpf logic will be added
in a subsequent patch, this patch does contain an implementation of the
.map_poll() callback for BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF maps. This
.map_poll() callback guarantees that an epoll-waiting user-space
producer will receive at least one event notification whenever at least
one sample is drained in an invocation of bpf_user_ringbuf_drain(),
provided that the function is not invoked with the BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP
flag. If the BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP flag is provided, a wakeup
notification is sent even if no sample was drained.

bpf: Define new BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF map type

We want to support a ringbuf map type where samples are published from
user-space, to be consumed by BPF programs. BPF currently supports a
kernel -> user-space circular ring buffer via the BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF
map type. We'll need to define a new map type for user-space -> kernel,
as none of the helpers exported for BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF will apply
to a user-space producer ring buffer, and we'll want to add one or
more helper functions that would not apply for a kernel-producer
ring buffer.

This patch therefore adds a new BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF map type
definition. The map type is useless in its current form, as there is no
way to access or use it for anything until we one or more BPF helpers. A
follow-on patch will therefore add a new helper function that allows BPF
programs to run callbacks on samples that are published to the ring
buffer.

bpf: Dynptr support for ring buffers

Currently, our only way of writing dynamically-sized data into a ring
buffer is through bpf_ringbuf_output but this incurs an extra memcpy
cost. bpf_ringbuf_reserve + bpf_ringbuf_commit avoids this extra
memcpy, but it can only safely support reservation sizes that are
statically known since the verifier cannot guarantee that the bpf
program won’t access memory outside the reserved space.

The bpf_dynptr abstraction allows for dynamically-sized ring buffer
reservations without the extra memcpy.

There are 3 new APIs:

long bpf_ringbuf_reserve_dynptr(void *ringbuf, u32 size, u64 flags, struct bpf_dynptr *ptr);
void bpf_ringbuf_submit_dynptr(struct bpf_dynptr *ptr, u64 flags);
void bpf_ringbuf_discard_dynptr(struct bpf_dynptr *ptr, u64 flags);

These closely follow the functionalities of the original ringbuf APIs.
For example, all ringbuffer dynptrs that have been reserved must be
either submitted or discarded before the program exits.

bpf: Tag argument to be released in bpf_func_proto

Add a new type flag for bpf_arg_type that when set tells verifier that
for a release function, that argument's register will be the one for
which meta.ref_obj_id will be set, and which will then be released
using release_reference. To capture the regno, introduce a new field
release_regno in bpf_call_arg_meta.

This would be required in the next patch, where we may either pass NULL
or a refcounted pointer as an argument to the release function
bpf_kptr_xchg. Just releasing only when meta.ref_obj_id is set is not
enough, as there is a case where the type of argument needed matches,
but the ref_obj_id is set to 0. Hence, we must enforce that whenever
meta.ref_obj_id is zero, the register that is to be released can only
be NULL for a release function.

Since we now indicate whether an argument is to be released in
bpf_func_proto itself, is_release_function helper has lost its utitlity,
hence refactor code to work without it, and just rely on
meta.release_regno to know when to release state for a ref_obj_id.
Still, the restriction of one release argument and only one ref_obj_id
passed to BPF helper or kfunc remains. This may be lifted in the future.

allocated pages, so use VM_MAP instead.

bpf: Add MEM_RDONLY for helper args that are pointers to rdonly mem.

Some helper functions may modify its arguments, for example,
bpf_d_path, bpf_get_stack etc. Previously, their argument types
were marked as ARG_PTR_TO_MEM, which is compatible with read-only
mem types, such as PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF. Therefore it's legitimate,
but technically incorrect, to modify a read-only memory by passing
it into one of such helper functions.

This patch tags the bpf_args compatible with immutable memory with
MEM_RDONLY flag. The arguments that don't have this flag will be
only compatible with mutable memory types, preventing the helper
from modifying a read-only memory. The bpf_args that have
MEM_RDONLY are compatible with both mutable memory and immutable
memory.

bpf: Fix false positive kmemleak report in bpf_ringbuf_area_alloc()

kmemleak scans struct page, but it does not scan the page content. If we
allocate some memory with kmalloc(), then allocate page with alloc_page(),
and if we put kmalloc pointer somewhere inside that page, kmemleak will
report kmalloc pointer as a false positive.

We can instruct kmemleak to scan the memory area by calling kmemleak_alloc()
and kmemleak_free(), but part of struct bpf_ringbuf is mmaped to user space,
and if struct bpf_ringbuf changes we would have to revisit and review size
argument in kmemleak_alloc(), because we do not want kmemleak to scan the
user space memory. Let's simplify things and use kmemleak_not_leak() here.

For posterity, also adding additional prior analysis from Andrii:

I think either kmemleak or syzbot are misreporting this. I've added a
bunch of printks around all allocations performed by BPF ringbuf. [...]
On repro side I get these two warnings:

Note that both reported leaks (ffff88810d538c80 and ffff88810d538c00)
correspond to pages array bpf_ringbuf is allocating and tracking properly
internally. Note also that syzbot repro doesn't close FD of created BPF
ringbufs, and even when ./repro itself exits with error, there are still
two forked processes hanging around in my system. So clearly ringbuf maps
are alive at that point. So reporting any memory leak looks weird at that
point, because that memory is being used by active referenced BPF ringbuf.

It's also a question why repro doesn't clean up its forks. But if I do a
`pkill repro`, I do see that all the allocated memory is /properly/ cleaned
up [and the] "leaks" are deallocated properly.

BTW, if I add close() right after bpf() syscall in syzbot repro, I see that
everything is immediately deallocated, like designed. And no memory leak
is reported. So I don't think the problem is anywhere in bpf_ringbuf code,
rather in the leak detection and/or repro itself.

bpf: Prevent writable memory-mapping of read-only ringbuf pages

Only the very first page of BPF ringbuf that contains consumer position
counter is supposed to be mapped as writeable by user-space. Producer
position is read-only and can be modified only by the kernel code. BPF ringbuf
data pages are read-only as well and are not meant to be modified by
user-code to maintain integrity of per-record headers.

This patch allows to map only consumer position page as writeable and
everything else is restricted to be read-only. remap_vmalloc_range()
internally adds VM_DONTEXPAND, so all the established memory mappings can't be
extended, which prevents any future violations through mremap()'ing.

Do not use rlimit-based memory accounting for bpf ringbuffer.
It has been replaced with the memcg-based memory accounting.

bpf_ringbuf_alloc() can't return anything except ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM)
and a valid pointer, so to simplify the code make it return NULL
in the first case. This allows to drop a couple of lines in
ringbuf_map_alloc() and also makes it look similar to other memory
allocating function like kmalloc().
