Introduce a kernel function which is the analogue of dump_stack()
printing some useful information and the stack trace. This is not
exposed to BPF programs yet, but can be made available in the future.
When we have a program counter for a BPF program in the stack trace,
also additionally output the filename and line number to make the trace
helpful. The rest of the trace can be passed into ./decode_stacktrace.sh
to obtain the line numbers for kernel symbols.

In preparation of figuring out the closest program that led to the
current point in the kernel, implement a function that scans through the
stack trace and finds out the closest BPF program when walking down the
stack trace.
Special care needs to be taken to skip over kernel and BPF subprog
frames. We basically scan until we find a BPF main prog frame. The
assumption is that if a program calls into us transitively, we'll
hit it along the way. If not, we end up returning NULL.
Contextually the function will be used in places where we know the
program may have called into us.
Due to reliance on arch_bpf_stack_walk(), this function only works on
x86 with CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC, arm64, and s390. Remove the warning from
arch_bpf_stack_walk as well since we call it outside bpf_throw()
context.

Add support for a stream API to the kernel and expose related kfuncs to
BPF programs. Two streams are exposed, BPF_STDOUT and BPF_STDERR. These
can be used for printing messages that can be consumed from user space,
thus it's similar in spirit to existing trace_pipe interface.
The kernel will use the BPF_STDERR stream to notify the program of any
errors encountered at runtime. BPF programs themselves may use both
streams for writing debug messages. BPF library-like code may use
BPF_STDERR to print warnings or errors on misuse at runtime.
The implementation of a stream is as follows. Everytime a message is
emitted from the kernel (directly, or through a BPF program), a record
is allocated by bump allocating from per-cpu region backed by a page
obtained using alloc_pages_nolock(). This ensures that we can allocate
memory from any context. The eventual plan is to discard this scheme in
favor of Alexei's kmalloc_nolock() [0].
This record is then locklessly inserted into a list (llist_add()) so
that the printing side doesn't require holding any locks, and works in
any context. Each stream has a maximum capacity of 4MB of text, and each
printed message is accounted against this limit.
Messages from a program are emitted using the bpf_stream_vprintk kfunc,
which takes a stream_id argument in addition to working otherwise
similar to bpf_trace_vprintk.
The bprintf buffer helpers are extracted out to be reused for printing
the string into them before copying it into the stream, so that we can
(with the defined max limit) format a string and know its true length
before performing allocations of the stream element.
For consuming elements from a stream, we expose a bpf(2) syscall command
named BPF_PROG_STREAM_READ_BY_FD, which allows reading data from the
stream of a given prog_fd into a user space buffer. The main logic is
implemented in bpf_stream_read(). The log messages are queued in
bpf_stream::log by the bpf_stream_vprintk kfunc, and then pulled and
ordered correctly in the stream backlog.
For this purpose, we hold a lock around bpf_stream_backlog_peek(), as
llist_del_first() (if we maintained a second lockless list for the
backlog) wouldn't be safe from multiple threads anyway. Then, if we
fail to find something in the backlog log, we splice out everything from
the lockless log, and place it in the backlog log, and then return the
head of the backlog. Once the full length of the element is consumed, we
will pop it and free it.
The lockless list bpf_stream::log is a LIFO stack. Elements obtained
using a llist_del_all() operation are in LIFO order, thus would break
the chronological ordering if printed directly. Hence, this batch of
messages is first reversed. Then, it is stashed into a separate list in
the stream, i.e. the backlog_log. The head of this list is the actual
message that should always be returned to the caller. All of this is
done in bpf_stream_backlog_fill().
From the kernel side, the writing into the stream will be a bit more
involved than the typical printk. First, the kernel typically may print
a collection of messages into the stream, and parallel writers into the
stream may suffer from interleaving of messages. To ensure each group of
messages is visible atomically, we can lift the advantage of using a
lockless list for pushing in messages.
To enable this, we add a bpf_stream_stage() macro, and require kernel
users to use bpf_stream_printk statements for the passed expression to
write into the stream. Underneath the macro, we have a message staging
API, where a bpf_stream_stage object on the stack accumulates the
messages being printed into a local llist_head, and then a commit
operation splices the whole batch into the stream's lockless log list.
This is especially pertinent for rqspinlock deadlock messages printed to
program streams. After this change, we see each deadlock invocation as a
non-interleaving contiguous message without any confusion on the
reader's part, improving their user experience in debugging the fault.
While programs cannot benefit from this staged stream writing API, they
could just as well hold an rqspinlock around their print statements to
serialize messages, hence this is kept kernel-internal for now.
Overall, this infrastructure provides NMI-safe any context printing of
messages to two dedicated streams.
Later patches will add support for printing splats in case of BPF arena
page faults, rqspinlock deadlocks, and cond_break timeouts, and
integration of this facility into bpftool for dumping messages to user
space.

The description of full helper calls in syzkaller [1] and the addition of
kernel warnings in commit 0df1a55afa ("bpf: Warn on internal verifier
errors") allowed syzbot to reach a verifier state that was thought to
indicate a verifier bug [2]:
12: (85) call bpf_tcp_raw_gen_syncookie_ipv4#204
verifier bug: more than one arg with ref_obj_id R2 2 2
This error can be reproduced with the program from the previous commit:
0: (b7) r2 = 20
1: (b7) r3 = 0
2: (18) r1 = 0xffff92cee3cbc600
4: (85) call bpf_ringbuf_reserve#131
5: (55) if r0 == 0x0 goto pc+3
6: (bf) r1 = r0
7: (bf) r2 = r0
8: (85) call bpf_tcp_raw_gen_syncookie_ipv4#204
9: (95) exit
bpf_tcp_raw_gen_syncookie_ipv4 expects R1 and R2 to be
ARG_PTR_TO_FIXED_SIZE_MEM (with a size of at least sizeof(struct iphdr)
for R1). R0 is a ring buffer payload of 20B and therefore matches this
requirement.
The verifier reaches the check on ref_obj_id while verifying R2 and
rejects the program because the helper isn't supposed to take two
referenced arguments.
This case is a legitimate rejection and doesn't indicate a kernel bug,
so we shouldn't log it as such and shouldn't emit a kernel warning.

Commit f2362a57ae ("bpf: allow void* cast using bpf_rdonly_cast()")
added a notion of PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RDONLY | PTR_UNTRUSTED type.
This simultaneously introduced a bug in jump prediction logic for
situations like below:
p = bpf_rdonly_cast(..., 0);
if (p) a(); else b();
Here verifier would wrongly predict that else branch cannot be taken.
This happens because:
- Function reg_not_null() assumes that PTR_TO_MEM w/o PTR_MAYBE_NULL
flag cannot be zero.
- The call to bpf_rdonly_cast() returns a rdonly_untrusted_mem value
w/o PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag.
Tracking of PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag for untrusted PTR_TO_MEM does not make
sense, as the main purpose of the flag is to catch null pointer access
errors. Such errors are not possible on load of PTR_UNTRUSTED values
and verifier makes sure that PTR_UNTRUSTED can't be passed to helpers
or kfuncs.
Hence, modify reg_not_null() to assume that nullness of untrusted
PTR_TO_MEM is not known.

bpf: Add kfuncs for read-only string operations
String operations are commonly used in programming and BPF programs are
no exception. Since it is cumbersome to reimplement them over and over,
this series introduce kfuncs which provide the most common operations.
For now, we only limit ourselves to functions which do not copy memory
since these usually introduce undefined behaviour in case the
source/destination buffers overlap which would have to be prevented by
the verifier.
The kernel already contains implementations for all of these, however,
it is not possible to use them from BPF context. The main reason is that
the verifier is not able to check that it is safe to access the entire
string and that the string is null-terminated and the function won't
loop forever. Therefore, the operations are open-coded using
__get_kernel_nofault instead of plain dereference and bounded to at most
XATTR_SIZE_MAX characters to make them safe. That allows to skip all the
verfier checks for the passed-in strings as safety is ensured
dynamically.
All of the proposed functions return integers, even those that normally
(in the kernel or libc) return pointers into the strings. The reason is
that since the strings are generally treated as unsafe, the pointers
couldn't be dereferenced anyways. So, instead, we return an index to the
string and let user decide what to do with it. The integer APIs also
allow to return various error codes when unexpected situations happen
while processing the strings.
The series include both positive and negative tests using the kfuncs.
Changelog

Add both positive and negative tests cases using string kfuncs added in
the previous patches.
Positive tests check that the functions work as expected.
Negative tests pass various incorrect strings to the kfuncs and check
for the expected error codes:
-E2BIG when passing too long strings
-EFAULT when trying to read inaccessible kernel memory
-ERANGE when passing userspace pointers on arches with non-overlapping
address spaces
A majority of the tests use the RUN_TESTS helper which executes BPF
programs with BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN and check for the expected return value.
An exception to this are tests for long strings as we need to memset the
long string from userspace (at least I haven't found an ergonomic way to
memset it from a BPF program), which cannot be done using the RUN_TESTS
infrastructure.

Allow macro expansion for values passed to the `__retval` and
`__retval_unpriv` attributes. This is especially useful for testing
programs which return various error codes.
With this change, the code for parsing special literals can be made
simpler, as the literals are defined via macros. The only exception is
INT_MIN which expands to (-INT_MAX -1), which is not single number and
cannot be parsed by strtol. So, we instead use a prefixed literal
_INT_MIN in __retval and handle it separately (assign the expected
return to INT_MIN). Also, strtol cannot handle the "ll" suffix so change
the value of POINTER_VALUE from 0xcafe4all to 0xbadcafe.

String operations are commonly used so this exposes the most common ones
to BPF programs. For now, we limit ourselves to operations which do not
copy memory around.
Unfortunately, most in-kernel implementations assume that strings are
%NUL-terminated, which is not necessarily true, and therefore we cannot
use them directly in the BPF context. Instead, we open-code them using
__get_kernel_nofault instead of plain dereference to make them safe and
limit the strings length to XATTR_SIZE_MAX to make sure the functions
terminate. When __get_kernel_nofault fails, functions return -EFAULT.
Similarly, when the size bound is reached, the functions return -E2BIG.
In addition, we return -ERANGE when the passed strings are outside of
the kernel address space.
Note that thanks to these dynamic safety checks, no other constraints
are put on the kfunc args (they are marked with the "__ign" suffix to
skip any verifier checks for them).
All of the functions return integers, including functions which normally
(in kernel or libc) return pointers to the strings. The reason is that
since the strings are generally treated as unsafe, the pointers couldn't
be dereferenced anyways. So, instead, we return an index to the string
and let user decide what to do with it. This also nicely fits with
