  • Suppose you have a map array value that is something like this

    struct foo {
    unsigned iter;
    int array[SOME_CONSTANT];
    };

    You can easily insert this into an array, but you cannot modify the contents of
    foo->array[] after the fact. This is because we have no way to verify we won't
    go off the end of the array at verification time. This patch provides a start
    for this work. We accomplish this by keeping track of a minimum and maximum
    value a register could be while we're checking the code. Then at the time we
    try to do an access into a MAP_VALUE we verify that the maximum offset into that
    region is a valid access into that memory region. So in practice, code such as
    this

    unsigned index = 0;

    if (foo->iter >= SOME_CONSTANT)
    foo->iter = index;
    else
    index = foo->iter++;
    foo->array[index] = bar;

    would be allowed, as we can verify that index will always be between 0 and
    SOME_CONSTANT-1. If you wish to use signed values you'll have to have an extra
    check to make sure the index isn't less than 0, or do something like index %=
    SOME_CONSTANT.

  • the test creates 3 namespaces with veth connected via bridge.
    First two namespaces simulate two different hosts with the same
    IPv4 and IPv6 addresses configured on the tunnel interface and they
    communicate with outside world via standard tunnels.
    Third namespace creates collect_md tunnel that is driven by BPF
    program which selects different remote host (either first or
    second namespace) based on tcp dest port number while tcp dst
    ip is the same.
    This scenario is rough approximation of load balancer use case.
    The tests check both traditional tunnel configuration and collect_md mode.

  • The rpmsg device representing struct is called rpmsg_channel and the

  • The rpmsg_send() operations has been taking a rpmsg_device, but this
    forces users of secondary rpmsg_endpoints to use the rpmsg_sendto()
    interface - by extracting source and destination from the given data
    structures. If we instead pass the rpmsg_endpoint to these functions a
    service can use rpmsg_sendto() to respond to messages, even on secondary
    endpoints.

    In addition this would allow us to support operations on multiple
    channels in future backends that does not support off-channel
    operations.

  • LLVM can generate code that tests for direct packet access via
    skb->data/data_end in a way that currently gets rejected by the
    verifier, example:

    [...]
    7: (61) r3 = *(u32 *)(r6 +80)
    8: (61) r9 = *(u32 *)(r6 +76)
    9: (bf) r2 = r9
    10: (07) r2 += 54
    11: (3d) if r3 >= r2 goto pc+12
    R1=inv R2=pkt(id=0,off=54,r=0) R3=pkt_end R4=inv R6=ctx
    R9=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=0) R10=fp
    12: (18) r4 = 0xffffff7a
    14: (05) goto pc+430
    [...]

    from 11 to 24: R1=inv R2=pkt(id=0,off=54,r=0) R3=pkt_end R4=inv
    R6=ctx R9=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=0) R10=fp
    24: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -40) = r1
    25: (b7) r1 = 0
    26: (63) *(u32 *)(r6 +56) = r1
    27: (b7) r2 = 40
    28: (71) r8 = *(u8 *)(r9 +20)
    invalid access to packet, off=20 size=1, R9(id=0,off=0,r=0)

    The reason why this gets rejected despite a proper test is that we
    currently call find_good_pkt_pointers() only in case where we detect
    tests like rX > pkt_end, where rX is of type pkt(id=Y,off=Z,r=0) and
    derived, for example, from a register of type pkt(id=Y,off=0,r=0)
    pointing to skb->data. find_good_pkt_pointers() then fills the range
    in the current branch to pkt(id=Y,off=0,r=Z) on success.

    For above case, we need to extend that to recognize pkt_end >= rX
    pattern and mark the other branch that is taken on success with the
    appropriate pkt(id=Y,off=0,r=Z) type via find_good_pkt_pointers().
    Since eBPF operates on BPF_JGT (>) and BPF_JGE (>=), these are the
    only two practical options to test for from what LLVM could have
    generated, since there's no such thing as BPF_JLT (= r2 goto pc+12
    R1=inv R2=pkt(id=0,off=54,r=0) R3=pkt_end R4=inv R6=ctx
    R9=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=0) R10=fp
    12: (18) r4 = 0xffffff7a
    14: (05) goto pc+430
    [...]

    from 11 to 24: R1=inv R2=pkt(id=0,off=54,r=54) R3=pkt_end R4=inv
    R6=ctx R9=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=54) R10=fp
    24: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -40) = r1
    25: (b7) r1 = 0
    26: (63) *(u32 *)(r6 +56) = r1
    27: (b7) r2 = 40
    28: (71) r8 = *(u8 *)(r9 +20)
    29: (bf) r1 = r8
    30: (25) if r8 > 0x3c goto pc+47
    R1=inv56 R2=imm40 R3=pkt_end R4=inv R6=ctx R8=inv56
    R9=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=54) R10=fp
    31: (b7) r1 = 1
    [...]

    Verifier test cases are also added in this work, one that demonstrates
    the mentioned example here and one that tries a bad packet access for
    the current/fall-through branch (the one with types pkt(id=X,off=Y,r=0),
    pkt(id=X,off=0,r=0)), then a case with good and bad accesses, and two
    with both test variants (>, >=).

  • While hashing out BPF's current_task_under_cgroup helper bits, it came
    to discussion that the skb_in_cgroup helper name was suboptimally chosen.

    Tejun says:

    So, I think in_cgroup should mean that the object is in that
    particular cgroup while under_cgroup in the subhierarchy of that
    cgroup. Let's rename the other subhierarchy test to under too. I
    think that'd be a lot less confusing going forward.

    [...]

    It's more intuitive and gives us the room to implement the real
    "in" test if ever necessary in the future.

    Since this touches uapi bits, we need to change this as long as v4.8
    is not yet officially released. Thus, change the helper enum and rename
    related bits.

  • This test has a BPF program which writes the last known pid to call the
    sync syscall within a given cgroup to a map.

    The user mode program creates its own mount namespace, and mounts the
    cgroupsv2 hierarchy in there, as on all current test systems
    (Ubuntu 16.04, Debian), the cgroupsv2 vfs is unmounted by default.
    Once it does this, it proceeds to test.

    The test checks for positive and negative condition. It ensures that
    when it's part of a given cgroup, its pid is captured in the map,
    and that when it leaves the cgroup, this doesn't happen.

    It populate a cgroups arraymap prior to execution in userspace. This means
    that the program must be run in the same cgroups namespace as the programs
    that are being traced.

  • This example shows using a kprobe to act as a dnat mechanism to divert
    traffic for arbitrary endpoints. It rewrite the arguments to a syscall
    while they're still in userspace, and before the syscall has a chance
    to copy the argument into kernel space.

    Although this is an example, it also acts as a test because the mapped
    address is 255.255.255.255:555 -> real address, and that's not a legal
    address to connect to. If the helper is broken, the example will fail
    on the intermediate steps, as well as the final step to verify the
    rewrite of userspace memory succeeded.

  • This allows user memory to be written to during the course of a kprobe.
    It shouldn't be used to implement any kind of security mechanism
    because of TOC-TOU attacks, but rather to debug, divert, and
    manipulate execution of semi-cooperative processes.

    Although it uses probe_kernel_write, we limit the address space
    the probe can write into by checking the space with access_ok.
    We do this as opposed to calling copy_to_user directly, in order
    to avoid sleeping. In addition we ensure the threads's current fs
    / segment is USER_DS and the thread isn't exiting nor a kernel thread.

    Given this feature is meant for experiments, and it has a risk of
    crashing the system, and running programs, we print a warning on
    when a proglet that attempts to use this helper is installed,
    along with the pid and process name.

  • Add a sample that rewrites and forwards packets out on the same
    interface. Observed single core forwarding performance of ~10Mpps.

    Since the mlx4 driver under test recycles every single packet page, the
    perf output shows almost exclusively just the ring management and bpf
    program work. Slowdowns are likely occurring due to cache misses.

  • Add a sample program that only drops packets at the BPF_PROG_TYPE_XDP_RX
    hook of a link. With the drop-only program, observed single core rate is
    ~20Mpps.

    Other tests were run, for instance without the dropcnt increment or
    without reading from the packet header, the packet rate was mostly
    unchanged.

  • This pktgen sample script is useful for scalability testing a
    receiver. The script will simply generate one flow per
    thread (option -t N) using the thread number as part of the
    source IP-address.

    The single flow sample (pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh)
    have become quite popular, but it is important that developers
    also make sure to benchmark scalability of multiple receive
    queues.

  • Adding a pktgen sample script that demonstrates how to use pktgen
    for simulating flows. Script will generate a certain number of
    concurrent flows ($FLOWS) and each flow will contain $FLOWLEN
    packets, which will be send back-to-back, before switching to a
    new flow, due to flag FLOW_SEQ.

    This script obsoletes the old sample script 'pktgen.conf-1-1-flows',
    which is removed.
