pull-request: bpf 2017-11-23
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Several BPF offloading fixes, from Jakub. Among others:
- Limit offload to cls_bpf and XDP program types only.
- Move device validation into the driver and don't make
any assumptions about the device in the classifier due
to shared blocks semantics.
- Don't pass offloaded XDP program into the driver when
it should be run in native XDP instead. Offloaded ones
are not JITed for the host in such cases.
- Don't destroy device offload state when moved to
another namespace.
- Revert dumping offload info into user space for now,
since ifindex alone is not sufficient. This will be
redone properly for bpf-next tree.
2) Fix test_verifier to avoid using bpf_probe_write_user()
helper in test cases, since it's dumping a warning into
kernel log which may confuse users when only running tests.
Switch to use bpf_trace_printk() instead, from Yonghong.
3) Several fixes for correcting ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO semantics
before it becomes uabi, from Gianluca. More specifically:
- Add a type ARG_PTR_TO_MEM_OR_NULL that is used only
by bpf_csum_diff(), where the argument is either a
valid pointer or NULL. The subsequent ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO
then enforces a valid pointer in case of non-0 size
or a valid pointer or NULL in case of size 0. Given
that, the semantics for ARG_PTR_TO_MEM in combination
with ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO are now such that in case
of size 0, the pointer must always be valid and cannot
be NULL. This fix in semantics allows for bpf_probe_read()
to drop the recently added size == 0 check in the helper
that would become part of uabi otherwise once released.
At the same time we can then fix bpf_probe_read_str() and
bpf_perf_event_output() to use ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO
instead of ARG_CONST_SIZE in order to fix recently
reported issues by Arnaldo et al, where LLVM optimizes
two boundary checks into a single one for unknown
variables where the verifier looses track of the variable
bounds and thus rejects valid programs otherwise.
4) A fix for the verifier for the case when it detects
comparison of two constants where the branch is guaranteed
to not be taken at runtime. Verifier will rightfully prune
the exploration of such paths, but we still pass the program
to JITs, where they would complain about using reserved
fields, etc. Track such dead instructions and sanitize
them with mov r0,r0. Rejection is not possible since LLVM
may generate them for valid C code and doesn't do as much
data flow analysis as verifier. For bpf-next we might
implement removal of such dead code and adjust branches
instead. Fix from Alexei.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
