2015-06-07bpf: allow programs to write to certain skb fieldsAlexei Starovoitov
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. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2015-06-07bpf: make programs see skb->data == L2 for ingress and egressAlexei Starovoitov
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.

2015-05-22pktgen: add benchmark script pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_netif_receive.shJesper Dangaard Brouer
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".

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").

2015-05-22pktgen: add sample script pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.shJesper Dangaard Brouer
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 -d : ($DEST_IP) destination IP -m : ($DST_MAC) destination MAC-addr -t : ($THREADS) threads to start -c : ($SKB_CLONE) SKB clones send before alloc new SKB -b : ($BURST) HW level bursting of SKBs -v : ($VERBOSE) verbose -x : ($DEBUG) debug Removing pktgen.conf-2-1 and pktgen.conf-2-2 as these examples should be covered now.

2015-05-22pktgen: new pktgen helper functions for samples scriptsJesper Dangaard Brouer
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 These changes are borrowed from: https://github.com/netoptimizer/network-testing/tree/master/pktgen Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.

2015-05-21samples/bpf: bpf_tail_call example for tracingAlexei Starovoitov
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 <...>-366 [001] d... 4.870033: : read(fd=1, buf=00007f6d5bebf000, size=771) <...>-369 [003] d... 4.870066: : mmap <...>-369 [003] d... 4.870077: : syscall=110 (one of get/set uid/pid/gid) <...>-369 [003] d... 4.870089: : syscall=107 (one of get/set uid/pid/gid) sh-369 [000] d... 4.891740: : read(fd=0, buf=00000000023d1000, size=512) sh-369 [000] d... 4.891747: : write(fd=1, buf=00000000023d3000, size=512) sh-369 [000] d... 4.891747: : read(fd=1, buf=00000000023d3000, size=512) Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-04-16bpf: fix two bugs in verification logic when accessing 'ctx' pointerAlexei Starovoitov
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.

2015-04-16bpf: fix bpf helpers to use skb->mac_header relative offsetsAlexei Starovoitov
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.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip 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.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace 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" }, { 3, "local mm shootdown" })" * tag 'trace-v4.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (27 commits) tracing: Add enum_map file to show enums that have been mapped writeback: Export enums used by tracepoint to user space v4l: Export enums used by tracepoints to user space SUNRPC: Export enums in tracepoints to user space mm: tracing: Export enums in tracepoints to user space irq/tracing: Export enums in tracepoints to user space f2fs: Export the enums in the tracepoints to userspace net/9p/tracing: Export enums in tracepoints to userspace x86/tlb/trace: Export enums in used by tlb_flush tracepoint tracing/samples: Update the trace-event-sample.h with TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() tracing: Allow for modules to convert their enums to values tracing: Add TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro to map enums to their values tracing: Update trace-event-sample with TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR documentation tracing: Give system name a pointer brcmsmac: Move each system tracepoints to their own header iwlwifi: Move each system tracepoints to their own header mac80211: Move message tracepoints to their own header tracing: Add TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR to xhci-hcd tracing: Add TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR to kvm-s390 tracing: Add TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR to intel-sst ...

2015-04-06tc: bpf: add checksum helpersAlexei Starovoitov
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.

2015-04-02samples/bpf: Add kmem_alloc()/free() tracker toolAlexei Starovoitov
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.

2015-04-02samples/bpf: Add IO latency analysis (iosnoop/heatmap) toolAlexei Starovoitov
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 |1us |10us |100us |1ms |10ms |100ms |1s |10s *ooo. *O.#. # 221 . *# . # 125 .. .o#*.. # 55 . . . . .#O # 37 .# # 175 .#*. # 37 # # 199 . . *#*. # 55 *#..* # 42 # # 266 ...***Oo#*OO**o#* . # 629 # # 271 . .#o* o.*o* # 221 . . o* *#O.. # 50 Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Cc: David S.

2015-04-02samples/bpf: Add simple non-portable kprobe filter exampleAlexei Starovoitov
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 ping-19826 [000] d.s2 63103.382684: : skb ffff880466b1d300 len 84 ping-19826 [000] d.s2 63104.382533: : skb ffff880466b1ca00 len 84 ping-19826 [000] d.s2 63104.382594: : skb ffff880466b1d300 len 84 Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Cc: David S.

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.

2015-02-10Merge branch 'for-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds
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].

As most people are unaware of these new fields, adding sample code and explanations of those fields should help out. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

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

2014-12-05samples: bpf: large eBPF program in CAlexei Starovoitov
sockex2_kern.c is purposefully large eBPF program in C. llvm compiles ~200 lines of C code into ~300 eBPF instructions. It's similar to __skb_flow_dissect() to demonstrate that complex packet parsing can be done by eBPF. Then it uses (struct flow_keys)->dst IP address (or hash of ipv6 dst) to keep stats of number of packets per IP. User space loads eBPF program, attaches it to loopback interface and prints dest_ip->#packets stats every second. Usage: $sudo samples/bpf/sockex2 ip 127.0.0.1 count 19 ip 127.0.0.1 count 178115 ip 127.0.0.1 count 369437 ip 127.0.0.1 count 559841 ip 127.0.0.1 count 750539 Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
