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 llvm/llvm-project#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.

Teach bpftool to recognize arena map type. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Acked-by: Quentin Monnet <quentin@isovalent.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20240308010812.89848-10-alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com

LLVM automatically places __arena variables into ".arena.1" ELF section. In order to use such global variables bpf program must include definition of arena map in ".maps" section, like: struct { __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARENA); __uint(map_flags, BPF_F_MMAPABLE); __uint(max_entries, 1000); /* number of pages */ __ulong(map_extra, 2ull << 44); /* start of mmap() region */ } arena SEC(".maps"); libbpf recognizes both uses of arena and creates single `struct bpf_map *` instance in libbpf APIs. ".arena.1" ELF section data is used as initial data image, which is exposed through skeleton and bpf_map__initial_value() to the user, if they need to tune it before the load phase. During load phase, this initial image is copied over into mmap()'ed region corresponding to arena, and discarded. Few small checks here and there had to be added to make sure this approach works with bpf_map__initial_value(), mostly due to hard-coded assumption that map->mmaped is set up with mmap() syscall and should be munmap()'ed. For arena, .arena.1 can be (much) smaller than maximum arena size, so this smaller data size has to be tracked separately. Given it is enforced that there is only one arena for entire bpf_object instance, we just keep it in a separate field. This can be generalized if necessary later. All global variables from ".arena.1" section are accessible from user space via skel->arena->name_of_var. For bss/data/rodata the skeleton/libbpf perform the following sequence: 1. addr = mmap(MAP_ANONYMOUS) 2. user space optionally modifies global vars 3. map_fd = bpf_create_map() 4. bpf_update_map_elem(map_fd, addr) // to store values into the kernel 5. mmap(addr, MAP_FIXED, map_fd) after step 5 user spaces see the values it wrote at step 2 at the same addresses arena doesn't support update_map_elem. Hence skeleton/libbpf do: 1. addr = malloc(sizeof SEC ".arena.1") 2. user space optionally modifies global vars 3. map_fd = bpf_create_map(MAP_TYPE_ARENA) 4. real_addr = mmap(map->map_extra, MAP_SHARED | MAP_FIXED, map_fd) 5. memcpy(real_addr, addr) // this will fault-in and allocate pages At the end look and feel of global data vs __arena global data is the same from bpf prog pov. Another complication is: struct { __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARENA); } arena SEC(".maps"); int __arena foo; int bar; ptr1 = &foo; // relocation against ".arena.1" section ptr2 = &arena; // relocation against ".maps" section ptr3 = &bar; // relocation against ".bss" section Fo the kernel ptr1 and ptr2 has point to the same arena's map_fd while ptr3 points to a different global array's map_fd. For the verifier: ptr1->type == unknown_scalar ptr2->type == const_ptr_to_map ptr3->type == ptr_to_map_value After verification, from JIT pov all 3 ptr-s are normal ld_imm64 insns.

According to a report, skeletons fail to assign shadow pointers when being compiled with C++ programs. Unlike C doing implicit casting for void pointers, C++ requires an explicit casting. To support C++, we do explicit casting for each shadow pointer. Also add struct_ops_module.skel.h to test_cpp to validate C++ compilation as part of BPF selftests.

When trying to load the pid_iter BPF program used to iterate over the PIDs of the processes holding file descriptors to BPF links, we would unconditionally silence libbpf in order to keep the output clean if the kernel does not support iterators and loading fails. Although this is the desirable behaviour in most cases, this may hide bugs in the pid_iter program that prevent it from loading, and it makes it hard to debug such load failures, even in "debug" mode. Instead, it makes more sense to print libbpf's logs when we pass the -d|--debug flag to bpftool, so that users get the logs to investigate failures without having to edit bpftool's source code.

Commit d510296d331a ("bpftool: Use syscall/loader program in "prog load" and "gen skeleton" command.") added new files to the list of objects to compile in order to build the bootstrap version of bpftool. As far as I can tell, these objects are unnecessary and were added by mistake; maybe a draft version intended to add support for loading loader programs from the bootstrap version. Anyway, we can remove these object files from the list to make the bootstrap bpftool binary a tad smaller and faster to build.

Bpftool's Makefile uses $(HOST_CFLAGS) to build the bootstrap version of bpftool, in order to pick the flags for the host (where we run the bootstrap version) and not for the target system (where we plan to run the full bpftool binary). But we pass too much information through this variable. In particular, we set HOST_CFLAGS by copying most of the $(CFLAGS); but we do this after the feature detection for bpftool, which means that $(CFLAGS), hence $(HOST_CFLAGS), contain all macro definitions for using the different optional features. For example, -DHAVE_LLVM_SUPPORT may be passed to the $(HOST_CFLAGS), even though the LLVM disassembler is not used in the bootstrap version, and the related library may even be missing for the host architecture. A similar thing happens with the $(LDFLAGS), that we use unchanged for linking the bootstrap version even though they may contains flags to link against additional libraries. To address the $(HOST_CFLAGS) issue, we move the definition of $(HOST_CFLAGS) earlier in the Makefile, before the $(CFLAGS) update resulting from the feature probing - none of which being relevant to the bootstrap version. To clean up the $(LDFLAGS) for the bootstrap version, we introduce a dedicated $(HOST_LDFLAGS) variable that we base on $(LDFLAGS), before the feature probing as well. On my setup, the following macro and libraries are removed from the compiler invocation to build bpftool after this patch: -DUSE_LIBCAP -DHAVE_LLVM_SUPPORT -I/usr/lib/llvm-17/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS -D__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS -D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS -lLLVM-17 -L/usr/lib/llvm-17/lib Another advantage of cleaning up these flags is that displaying available features with "bpftool version" becomes more accurate for the bootstrap bpftool, and no longer reflects the features detected (and available only) for the final binary.
