2024-05-08bpf: Avoid uninitialized value in BPF_CORE_READ_BITFIELDJose E. Marchesi1-0/+1
[Changes from V1: - Use a default branch in the switch statement to initialize `val'.] GCC warns that `val' may be used uninitialized in the BPF_CRE_READ_BITFIELD macro, defined in bpf_core_read.h as: [...] unsigned long long val; \ [...] \ switch (__CORE_RELO(s, field, BYTE_SIZE)) { \ case 1: val = *(const unsigned char *)p; break; \ case 2: val = *(const unsigned short *)p; break; \ case 4: val = *(const unsigned int *)p; break; \ case 8: val = *(const unsigned long long *)p; break; \ } \ [...] val; \ } \ This patch adds a default entry in the switch statement that sets `val' to zero in order to avoid the warning, and random values to be used in case __builtin_preserve_field_info returns unexpected values for BPF_FIELD_BYTE_SIZE.

2024-05-08bpf: avoid UB in usages of the __imm_insn macroJose E. Marchesi1-0/+13
[Changes from V2: - no-strict-aliasing is only applied when building with GCC. - cpumask_failure.c is excluded, as it doesn't use __imm_insn.] The __imm_insn macro is defined in bpf_misc.h as: #define __imm_insn(name, expr) [name]"i"(*(long *)&(expr)) This may lead to type-punning and strict aliasing rules violations in it's typical usage where the address of a struct bpf_insn is passed as expr, like in: __imm_insn(st_mem, BPF_ST_MEM(BPF_W, BPF_REG_1, offsetof(struct __sk_buff, mark), 42)) Where: #define BPF_ST_MEM(SIZE, DST, OFF, IMM) \ ((struct bpf_insn) { \ .code = BPF_ST | BPF_SIZE(SIZE) | BPF_MEM, \ .dst_reg = DST, \ .src_reg = 0, \ .off = OFF, \ .imm = IMM }) In all the actual instances of this in the BPF selftests the value is fed to a volatile asm statement as soon as it gets read from memory, and thus it is unlikely anti-aliasing rules breakage may lead to misguided optimizations. However, GCC detects the potential problem (indirectly) by issuing a warning stating that a temporary <Uxxxxxx> is used uninitialized, where the temporary corresponds to the memory read by *(long *). This patch adds -fno-strict-aliasing to the compilation flags of the particular selftests that do type punning via __imm_insn, only for GCC. Tested in master bpf-next. No regressions.

2024-05-08bpf: avoid uninitialized warnings in verifier_global_subprogs.cJose E. Marchesi1-0/+7
[Changes from V1: - The warning to disable is -Wmaybe-uninitialized, not -Wuninitialized. - This warning is only supported in GCC.] The BPF selftest verifier_global_subprogs.c contains code that purposedly performs out of bounds access to memory, to check whether the kernel verifier is able to catch them. For example: __noinline int global_unsupp(const int *mem) { if (!mem) return 0; return mem[100]; /* BOOM */ } With -O1 and higher and no inlining, GCC notices this fact and emits a "maybe uninitialized" warning. This is by design. Note that the emission of these warnings is highly dependent on the precise optimizations that are performed. This patch adds a compiler pragma to verifier_global_subprogs.c to ignore these warnings. Tested in bpf-next master. No regressions. Signed-off-by: Jose E.

2024-05-08bpf, arm64: Add support for lse atomics in bpf_arenaPuranjay Mohan1-1/+0
When LSE atomics are available, BPF atomic instructions are implemented as single ARM64 atomic instructions, therefore it is easy to enable these in bpf_arena using the currently available exception handling setup. LL_SC atomics use loops and therefore would need more work to enable in bpf_arena.

2024-05-08selftests: test_bridge_neigh_suppress.sh: Fix failures due to duplicate MACIdo Schimmel1-11/+3
When creating the topology for the test, three veth pairs are created in the initial network namespace before being moved to one of the network namespaces created by the test. On systems where systemd-udev uses MACAddressPolicy=persistent (default since systemd version 242), this will result in some net devices having the same MAC address since they were created with the same name in the initial network namespace. In turn, this leads to arping / ndisc6 failing since packets are dropped by the bridge's loopback filter. Fix by creating each net device in the correct network namespace instead of moving it there from the initial network namespace.

Extend libbpf's pre-load checks for BPF programs, detecting more typical conditions that are destinated to cause BPF program failure. This is an opportunity to provide more helpful and actionable error message to users, instead of potentially very confusing BPF verifier log and/or error. In this case, we detect struct_ops BPF program that was not referenced anywhere, but still attempted to be loaded (according to libbpf logic). Suggest that the program might need to be used in some struct_ops variable. User will get a message of the following kind: libbpf: prog 'test_1_forgotten': SEC("struct_ops") program isn't referenced anywhere, did you forget to use it?

Take that into account when handling strerror_r()'s own errors, which happens when we pass some non-standard (internal) kernel error to it. Before this patch we'd have "ERROR: strerror_r(524)=22", which is quite confusing. Now for the same situation we'll see a bit less visually scary "unknown error (-524)".

At the moment the BTF dumping services in libbpf do not support dicriminating between types dumped because they are directly referred and types dumped because they are dependencies. A suitable API is being worked now. See [1] and [2]. In the interim, this patch changes the selftests/bpf Makefile so it passes -DBPF_NO_PRESERVE_ACCESS_INDEX to GCC when it builds the selftests. This workaround is temporary, and may have an impact on the results of the GCC-built tests.

2024-05-07bpf: Disable some `attribute ignored' warnings in GCCJose E. Marchesi1-1/+1
This patch modifies selftests/bpf/Makefile to pass -Wno-attributes to GCC. This is because of the following attributes which are ignored: - btf_decl_tag - btf_type_tag There are many of these. At the moment none of these are recognized/handled by gcc-bpf. We are aware that btf_decl_tag is necessary for some of the selftest harness to communicate test failure/success. Support for it is in progress in GCC upstream: https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2024-May/650482.html However, the GCC master branch is not yet open, so the series above (currently under review upstream) wont be able to make it there until 14.1 gets released, probably mid next week. As for btf_type_tag, more extensive work will be needed in GCC upstream to support it in both BTF and DWARF. We have a WIP big patch for that, but that is not needed to compile/build the selftests. - used There are SEC macros defined in the selftests as: #define SEC(N) __attribute__((section(N),used)) The SEC macro is used for both functions and global variables. According to the GCC documentation `used' attribute is really only meaningful for functions, and it warns when the attribute is used for other global objects, like for example ctl_array in test_xdp_noinline.c. Ignoring this is benign. - align_value In progs/test_cls_redirect.c:127 there is: typedef uint8_t *net_ptr __attribute__((align_value(8))); GCC warns that it is ignoring this attribute, because it is not implemented by GCC. I think ignoring this attribute in GCC is benign, because according to the clang documentation [1] its purpose seems to be merely declarative and doesn't seem to translate into extra checks at run-time, only to perhaps better optimized code ("runtime behavior is undefined if the pointed memory object is not aligned to the specified alignment").

2024-05-07selftests: mm: gup_longterm: test unsharing logic when R/O pinningDavid Hildenbrand1-4/+12
In our FOLL_LONGTERM tests, we prefault the page tables for the GUP-fast test cases to be able to find a PTE and exercise the "longterm pinning allowed" logic on the GUP-fast path where possible. For now, we always prefault the page tables writable, resulting in PTEs that are writable. Let's cover more cases to also test if our unsharing logic works as expected (and is able to make progress when there is nothing to unshare) by mprotect'ing the range R/O when R/O-pinning, so we don't get PTEs that are writable. This change would have found an issue introduced by commit a12083d721d7 ("mm/gup: handle hugepd for follow_page()"), whereby R/O pinning was not able to make progress in all cases, because unsharing logic was not provided with the VMA to decide at some point that long-term R/O pinning a !anon page is fine.

2024-05-07selftests: mm: cow: flag vmsplice() hugetlb tests as XFAILDavid Hildenbrand1-35/+71
Patch series "selftests: mm: cow: flag vmsplice() hugetlb tests as XFAIL". The failing hugetlb vmsplice() COW tests keep confusing people, and having tests that have been failing for years and likely will keep failing for years to come because nobody cares enough is rather suboptimal. Let's mark them as XFAIL and document why fixing them is not that easy as it would appear at first sight. More details can be found in [1], especially around how hugetlb pages cannot really be overcommitted, and why we don't particularly care about these vmsplice() leaks for hugetlb -- in contrast to ordinary memory. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/ This patch (of 2): The vmsplice() hugetlb tests have been failing right from the start, and we documented that in the introducing commit 7dad331be781 ("selftests/vm: anon_cow: hugetlb tests"): Note that some tests cases still fail. This will, for example, be fixed once vmsplice properly uses FOLL_PIN instead of FOLL_GET for pinning. With 2 MiB and 1 GiB hugetlb on x86_64, the expected failures are: Until vmsplice() is changed, these tests will likely keep failing: hugetlb COW reuse logic is harder to change, because using the same COW reuse logic as we use for !hugetlb could harm other (sane) users when running out of free hugetlb pages. More details can be found in [1], especially around how hugetlb pages cannot really be overcommitted, and why we don't particularly care about these vmsplice() leaks for hugetlb -- in contrast to ordinary memory. These (expected) failures keep confusing people, so flag them accordingly.

2024-05-07perf auxtrace: Allow number of queues to be specifiedJames Clark2-2/+8
Currently it's only possible to initialize with the default number of queues and then use auxtrace_queues__add_event() to grow the array. But that's problematic if you don't have a real event to pass into that function yet. The queues hold a void *priv member to store custom state, and for Coresight we want to create decoders upfront before receiving data, so add a new function that allows pre-allocating queues. One reason to do this is because we might need to store metadata (HW_ID events) that effects other queues, but never actually receive auxtrace data on that queue.
