eBPF programs attached to kprobes need to filter based on
current->pid, uid and other fields, so introduce helper functions:
u64 bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(void)
Return: current->tgid << 32 | current->pid
u64 bpf_get_current_uid_gid(void)
Return: current_gid << 32 | current_uid
bpf_get_current_comm(char *buf, int size_of_buf)
stores current->comm into buf
They can be used from the programs attached to TC as well to classify packets
based on current task fields.
Update tracex2 example to print histogram of write syscalls for each process
instead of aggregated for all.

allow programs read/write skb->mark, tc_index fields and
((struct qdisc_skb_cb *)cb)->data.
mark and tc_index are generically useful in TC.
cb[0]-cb[4] are primarily used to pass arguments from one
program to another called via bpf_tail_call() which can
be seen in sockex3_kern.c example.
All fields of 'struct __sk_buff' are readable to socket and tc_cls_act progs.
mark, tc_index are writeable from tc_cls_act only.
cb[0]-cb[4] are writeable by both sockets and tc_cls_act.
Add verifier tests and improve sample code.

eBPF programs attached to ingress and egress qdiscs see inconsistent skb->data.
For ingress L2 header is already pulled, whereas for egress it's present.
This is known to program writers which are currently forced to use
BPF_LL_OFF workaround.
Since programs don't change skb internal pointers it is safe to do
pull/push right around invocation of the program and earlier taps and
later pt->func() will not be affected.
Multiple taps via packet_rcv(), tpacket_rcv() are doing the same trick
around run_filter/BPF_PROG_RUN even if skb_shared.
This fix finally allows programs to use optimized LD_ABS/IND instructions
without BPF_LL_OFF for higher performance.
tc ingress + cls_bpf + samples/bpf/tcbpf1_kern.o
w/o JIT w/JIT
before 20.5 23.6 Mpps
after 21.8 26.6 Mpps
Old programs with BPF_LL_OFF will still work as-is.
We can now undo most of the earlier workaround commit:

This script pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_netif_receive.sh is a benchmark
script, which can be used for benchmarking part of the network stack.
This can be used for performance improving or catching regression in
that area.
The script is developed for benchmarking ingress qdisc path, original
idea by Alexei Starovoitov. This script don't really need any
hardware. This is achieved via the recently introduced stack inject
feature "xmit_mode netif_receive". See commit 62f64aed622b6 ("pktgen:
introduce xmit_mode '<start_xmit|netif_receive>'").

Add the pktgen samples script pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh
that demonstrates how to acheive maximum performance.
If correctly tuned[1] single CPU 10Gbit/s wirespeed small pkts is
possible[2] which is 14.88Mpps. The trick is to take advantage of the
"burst" feature introduced in commit 38b2cf2982dc73 ("net: pktgen:
packet bursting via skb->xmit_more").

Add the pktgen samples script pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh that
demonstrates generating packets on multiqueue NICs.
Specifically notice the options "-t" that specifies how many
kernel threads to activate. Also notice the flag QUEUE_MAP_CPU,
which cause the SKB TX queue to be mapped to the CPU running the
kernel thread. For best scalability people are also encourage to
map NIC IRQ /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity to CPU number.
Usage example with "-t" 4 threads and help:
./pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh -i eth4 -m 00:1B:21:3C:9D:F8 -t 4
Usage: ./pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh [-vx] -i ethX
-i : ($DEV) output interface/device (required)
-s : ($PKT_SIZE) packet size

Add the first basic pktgen samples script pktgen_sample01_simple.sh,
which demonstrates the a simple use of the helper functions.

Preparing for removing existing samples/pktgen/ scripts, and
replacing these with easier to use samples.
This commit provides two helper shell files, that can
be "included" by shell source'ing. Namely "functions.sh"
and "parameters.sh".
The parameters.sh file support easy and consistant parameter
parsing across the sample scripts. Usage example is printed on
errors.
The functions.sh file provides, three new shell functions for
configuring the different components of pktgen: pg_ctrl(),
pg_thread() and pg_set(). A slightly improved version of the old
pgset() function is also provided for backwards compat.
The new functions correspond to pktgens different components.
* pg_ctrl() control "pgctrl" (/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl)
* pg_thread() control the kernel threads and binding to devices
* pg_set() control setup of individual devices

127.0.0.1.12865 -> 127.0.0.1.42010 1832 12
this example is similar to sockex2 in a way that it accumulates per-flow
statistics, but it does packet parsing differently.
sockex2 inlines full packet parser routine into single bpf program.
This sockex3 example have 4 independent programs that parse vlan, mpls, ip, ipv6
and one main program that starts the process.
bpf_tail_call() mechanism allows each program to be small and be called
on demand potentially multiple times, so that many vlan, mpls, ip in ip,
gre encapsulations can be parsed. These and other protocol parsers can
be added or removed at runtime. TLVs can be parsed in similar manner.
Note, tail_call_cnt dynamic check limits the number of tail calls to 32.

kprobe example that demonstrates how future seccomp programs may look like.
It attaches to seccomp_phase1() function and tail-calls other BPF programs
depending on syscall number.
Existing optimized classic BPF seccomp programs generated by Chrome look like:
if (sd.nr < 121) {
if (sd.nr < 57) {
if (sd.nr < 22) {
if (sd.nr < 7) {
if (sd.nr < 4) {
if (sd.nr < 1) {
check sys_read
} else {
if (sd.nr < 3) {
check sys_write and sys_open
} else {
check sys_close
}
}
} else {
} else {
} else {
} else {
} else {
}
the future seccomp using native eBPF may look like:
bpf_tail_call(&sd, &syscall_jmp_table, sd.nr);
which is simpler, faster and leaves more room for per-syscall checks.
Usage:
$ sudo ./tracex5

1.
first bug is a silly mistake. It broke tracing examples and prevented
simple bpf programs from loading.
In the following code:
if (insn->imm == 0 && BPF_SIZE(insn->code) == BPF_W) {
} else if (...) {
// this part should have been executed when
// insn->code == BPF_W and insn->imm != 0
}
Obviously it's not doing that. So simple instructions like:
r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 8)
will be rejected. Note the comments in the code around these branches
were and still valid and indicate the true intent.
Replace it with:
if (BPF_SIZE(insn->code) != BPF_W)
continue;
if (insn->imm == 0) {
} else if (...) {
// now this code will be executed when
// insn->code == BPF_W and insn->imm != 0
}
2.
second bug is more subtle.
If malicious code is using the same dest register as source register,
the checks designed to prevent the same instruction to be used with different
pointer types will fail to trigger, since we were assigning src_reg_type
when it was already overwritten by check_mem_access().
The fix is trivial. Just move line:
src_reg_type = regs[insn->src_reg].type;
before check_mem_access().
Add new 'access skb fields bad4' test to check this case.

For the short-term solution, lets fix bpf helper functions to use
skb->mac_header relative offsets instead of skb->data in order to
get the same eBPF programs with cls_bpf and act_bpf work on ingress
and egress qdisc path. We need to ensure that mac_header is set
before calling into programs. This is effectively the first option
from below referenced discussion.
More long term solution for LD_ABS|LD_IND instructions will be more
intrusive but also more beneficial than this, and implemented later
as it's too risky at this point in time.
I.e., we plan to look into the option of moving skb_pull() out of
eth_type_trans() and into netif_receive_skb() as has been suggested
as second option. Meanwhile, this solution ensures ingress can be
used with eBPF, too, and that we won't run into ABI troubles later.
For dealing with negative offsets inside eBPF helper functions,
we've implemented bpf_skb_clone_unwritable() to test for unwriteable
headers.

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Core kernel changes:
- One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability
to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed
by the kernel) to kprobes.
This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image
that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.
(Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might
allow unprivileged use as well.)
(Alexei Starovoitov)
- Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this
allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock
sources for event timestamps traced via perf.
This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated
events with external events that were measured with different
clocks:
- cluster wide profiling
- for system wide tracing with user-space events,
- JIT profiling events
etc. Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via
the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al.
(Peter Zijlstra)
Hardware enablement kernel changes:
- x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer
on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs.
The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space
ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added
to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the
necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous.
This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result.
A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT
driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU.
More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well -
will probably be ready by 4.2.
(Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra)
- x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware
feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and
allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads.
These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU
driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events. (The
partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged
as a cgroup extension.)
(Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P
Waskiewicz Jr)
- x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell
feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus
tooling support. To activate this feature you have to enable it
via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option:
perf record --call-graph lbr
perf report
or:
perf top --call-graph lbr
This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf
based unwinding, but has some limitations:
- It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and
branch record can not be enabled at the same time.
- It is only available for user-space callchains.
(Yan, Zheng)
- x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and
event table fixes for earlier models.
(Andi Kleen)
- x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds. This is a complex
CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter
value corruption. The mitigation code is automatically enabled and
is transparent.
(Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian)

- Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa)
- Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song)

Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim)
'perf probe':
Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu)
Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu)
Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu)
'perf record':
Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra)
Support recording running/enabled time (Andi Kleen)
'perf sched':
Improve the performance of 'perf sched replay' on high CPU core count machines (Yunlong Song)
'perf report' and 'perf top':
Allow annotating entries in callchains in the hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Indicate which callchain entries are annotated in the
TUI hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Add pid/tid filtering to 'report' and 'script' commands (David Ahern)
Consider PERF_RECORD_ events with cpumode == 0 in 'perf top', removing one
cause of long term memory usage buildup, i.e. not processing PERF_RECORD_EXIT
events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
'perf stat':
Report unsupported events properly (Suzuki K. Poulose)
Output running time and run/enabled ratio in CSV mode (Andi Kleen)
'perf trace':
Handle legacy syscalls tracepoints (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Dump stack on segfaults (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it
be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take
place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Some clean ups and small fixes, but the biggest change is the addition
of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro that can be used by tracepoints.
Tracepoints have helper functions for the TP_printk() called
__print_symbolic() and __print_flags() that lets a numeric number be
displayed as a a human comprehensible text. What is placed in the
TP_printk() is also shown in the tracepoint format file such that user
space tools like perf and trace-cmd can parse the binary data and
express the values too. Unfortunately, the way the TRACE_EVENT()
macro works, anything placed in the TP_printk() will be shown pretty
much exactly as is. The problem arises when enums are used. That's
because unlike macros, enums will not be changed into their values by
the C pre-processor. Thus, the enum string is exported to the format
file, and this makes it useless for user space tools.
The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() solves this by converting the enum strings in
the TP_printk() format into their number, and that is what is shown to
user space. For example, the tracepoint tlb_flush currently has this
in its format file:
__print_symbolic(REC->reason,
{ TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" },
{ TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" },
{ TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" },
{ TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" })
After adding:
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH);
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN);
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN);
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN);
Its format file will contain this:
__print_symbolic(REC->reason,
{ 0, "flush on task switch" },
{ 1, "remote shootdown" },
{ 2, "local shootdown" },

Pull HID updates from Jiri Kosina:
- quite a few firmware fixes for RMI driver by Andrew Duggan
- huion and uclogic drivers have been substantially overlaping in
functionality laterly. This redundancy is fixed by hid-huion driver
being merged into hid-uclogic; work done by Benjamin Tissoires and
Nikolai Kondrashov
- i2c-hid now supports ACPI GPIO interrupts; patch from Mika Westerberg
- Some of the quirks, that got separated into individual drivers, have
historically had EXPERT dependency. As HID subsystem matured (as
well as the individual drivers), this made less and less sense. This
dependency is now being removed by patch from Jean Delvare
- Logitech lg4ff driver received a couple of improvements for mode
switching, by Michal Malý
- multitouch driver now supports clickpads, patches by Benjamin
Tissoires and Seth Forshee
- hid-sensor framework received a substantial update; namely support
for Custom and Generic pages is being added; work done by Srinivas
Pandruvada
- wacom driver received substantial update; it now supports
i2c-conntected devices (Mika Westerberg), Bamboo PADs are now
properly supported (Benjamin Tissoires), much improved battery
reporting (Jason Gerecke) and pen proximity cleanups (Ping Cheng)

Commit 608cd71a9c7c ("tc: bpf: generalize pedit action") has added the
possibility to mangle packet data to BPF programs in the tc pipeline.
This patch adds two helpers bpf_l3_csum_replace() and bpf_l4_csum_replace()
for fixing up the protocol checksums after the packet mangling.
It also adds 'flags' argument to bpf_skb_store_bytes() helper to avoid
unnecessary checksum recomputations when BPF programs adjusting l3/l4
checksums and documents all three helpers in uapi header.
Moreover, a sample program is added to show how BPF programs can make use
of the mangle and csum helpers.

One BPF program attaches to kmem_cache_alloc_node() and
remembers all allocated objects in the map.
Another program attaches to kmem_cache_free() and deletes
corresponding object from the map.
User space walks the map every second and prints any objects
which are older than 1 second.
Usage:
$ sudo tracex4
Then start few long living processes. The 'tracex4' will print
something like this:
obj 0xffff880465928000 is 13sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
obj 0xffff88043181c280 is 13sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
obj 0xffff880465848000 is 8sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
obj 0xffff8804338bc280 is 15sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
$ addr2line -fispe vmlinux ffffffff8105dc32
do_fork at fork.c:1665
As soon as processes exit the memory is reclaimed and 'tracex4'
prints nothing.
Similar experiment can be done with the __kmalloc()/kfree() pair.

BPF C program attaches to
blk_mq_start_request()/blk_update_request() kprobe events to
calculate IO latency.
For every completed block IO event it computes the time delta
in nsec and records in a histogram map:
map[log10(delta)*10]++
User space reads this histogram map every 2 seconds and prints
it as a 'heatmap' using gray shades of text terminal. Black
spaces have many events and white spaces have very few events.
Left most space is the smallest latency, right most space is
the largest latency in the range.
Usage:
$ sudo ./tracex3
and do 'sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null' in other terminal.
Observe IO latencies and how different activity (like 'make
kernel') affects it.
Similar experiments can be done for network transmit latencies,
syscalls, etc.
'-t' flag prints the heatmap using normal ascii characters:
$ sudo ./tracex3 -t
heatmap of IO latency
# - many events with this latency
- few events

write() syscall
this example has two probes in one C file that attach to
different kprove events and use two different maps.
1st probe is x64 specific equivalent of dropmon. It attaches to
kfree_skb, retrevies 'ip' address of kfree_skb() caller and
counts number of packet drops at that 'ip' address. User space
prints 'location - count' map every second.
2nd probe attaches to kprobe:sys_write and computes a histogram
of different write sizes
Usage:
$ sudo tracex2

tracex1_kern.c - C program compiled into BPF.
It attaches to kprobe:netif_receive_skb()
When skb->dev->name == "lo", it prints sample debug message into
trace_pipe via bpf_trace_printk() helper function.
tracex1_user.c - corresponding user space component that:
- loads BPF program via bpf() syscall
- opens kprobes:netif_receive_skb event via perf_event_open()
syscall
- attaches the program to event via ioctl(event_fd,
PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd);
- prints from trace_pipe
Note, this BPF program is non-portable. It must be recompiled
with current kernel headers. kprobe is not a stable ABI and
BPF+kprobe scripts may no longer be meaningful when kernel
internals change.
No matter in what way the kernel changes, neither the kprobe,
nor the BPF program can ever crash or corrupt the kernel,
assuming the kprobes, perf and BPF subsystem has no bugs.
The verifier will detect that the program is using
bpf_trace_printk() and the kernel will print 'this is a DEBUG
kernel' warning banner, which means that bpf_trace_printk()
should be used for debugging of the BPF program only.
Usage:
$ sudo tracex1
ping-19826 [000] d.s2 63103.382648: : skb ffff880466b1ca00 len 84

We need to export BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD to user space, as it's used in the
ELF BPF loader where instructions are being loaded that need map fixups.
An initial stage loads all maps into the kernel, and later on replaces
related instructions in the eBPF blob with BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD as source
register and the actual fd as immediate value.
The kernel verifier recognizes this keyword and replaces the map fd with
a real pointer internally.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"The updates included in this pull request for ftrace are:
o Several clean ups to the code
One such clean up was to convert to 64 bit time keeping, in the
ring buffer benchmark code.
o Adding of __print_array() helper macro for TRACE_EVENT()
o Updating the sample/trace_events/ to add samples of different ways
to make trace events. Lots of features have been added since the
sample code was made, and these features are mostly unknown.
Developers have been making their own hacks to do things that are
already available.
o Performance improvements. Most notably, I found a performance bug
where a waiter that is waiting for a full page from the ring buffer
will see that a full page is not available, and go to sleep. The
sched event caused by it going to sleep would cause it to wake up
again. It would see that there was still not a full page, and go
back to sleep again, and that would wake it up again, until finally
it would see a full page. This change has been marked for stable.
Other improvements include removing global locks from fast paths"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching
Pull live patching infrastructure from Jiri Kosina:
"Let me provide a bit of history first, before describing what is in
this pile.
Originally, there was kSplice as a standalone project that implemented
stop_machine()-based patching for the linux kernel. This project got
later acquired, and the current owner is providing live patching as a
proprietary service, without any intentions to have their
implementation merged.
Then, due to rising user/customer demand, both Red Hat and SUSE
started working on their own implementation (not knowing about each
other), and announced first versions roughly at the same time [1] [2].
The principle difference between the two solutions is how they are
making sure that the patching is performed in a consistent way when it
comes to different execution threads with respect to the semantic
nature of the change that is being introduced.
In a nutshell, kPatch is issuing stop_machine(), then looking at
stacks of all existing processess, and if it decides that the system
is in a state that can be patched safely, it proceeds insterting code
redirection machinery to the patched functions.
On the other hand, kGraft provides a per-thread consistency during one
single pass of a process through the kernel and performs a lazy
contignuous migration of threads from "unpatched" universe to the
"patched" one at safe checkpoints.
If interested in a more detailed discussion about the consistency
models and its possible combinations, please see the thread that
evolved around [3].
It pretty quickly became obvious to the interested parties that it's
absolutely impractical in this case to have several isolated solutions
for one task to co-exist in the kernel. During a dedicated Live
Kernel Patching track at LPC in Dusseldorf, all the interested parties
sat together and came up with a joint aproach that would work for both
distro vendors. Steven Rostedt took notes [4] from this meeting.
And the foundation for that aproach is what's present in this pull
request.
It provides a basic infrastructure for function "live patching" (i.e.
code redirection), including API for kernel modules containing the
actual patches, and API/ABI for userspace to be able to operate on the
patches (look up what patches are applied, enable/disable them, etc).
It's relatively simple and minimalistic, as it's making use of
existing kernel infrastructure (namely ftrace) as much as possible.
It's also self-contained, in a sense that it doesn't hook itself in
any other kernel subsystem (it doesn't even touch any other code).
It's now implemented for x86 only as a reference architecture, but
support for powerpc, s390 and arm is already in the works (adding
arch-specific support basically boils down to teaching ftrace about
regs-saving).
Once this common infrastructure gets merged, both Red Hat and SUSE
have agreed to immediately start porting their current solutions on
top of this, abandoning their out-of-tree code. The plan basically is
that each patch will be marked by flag(s) that would indicate which
consistency model it is willing to use (again, the details have been
sketched out already in the thread at [3]).
Before this happens, the current codebase can be used to patch a large
group of secruity/stability problems the patches for which are not too
complex (in a sense that they don't introduce non-trivial change of
function's return value semantics, they don't change layout of data
structures, etc) -- this corresponds to LEAVE_FUNCTION &&
SWITCH_FUNCTION semantics described at [3].

Add to samples/trace_events/ the macros DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and
DEFINE_EVENT() and recommend using them over multiple TRACE_EVENT()
macros if the multiple events have the same format.

If a function should be called before a tracepoint is enabled
and/or after it is disabled, the TRACE_EVENT_FN() serves this
purpose. But it is not well documented. Having it as a sample would
help developers to know how to use it.

The sample code lacks an example of TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION, and it
has been expressed to me that this feature for TRACE_EVENT is not
well known and not used when it could be.

The sample code in samples/trace_events/ is extremely out of date and does
not show all the new fields that have been added since the sample code
was written. As most people are unaware of these new fields, adding sample
code and explanations of those fields should help out.

Rename CONFIG_LIVE_PATCHING to CONFIG_LIVEPATCH to make the naming of
the config and the code more consistent.

hash map is unordered, so get_next_key() iterator shouldn't
rely on particular order of elements. So relax this test.
