Luis Gerhorst says:
====================
This improves the expressiveness of unprivileged BPF by inserting
speculation barriers instead of rejecting the programs.
The approach was previously presented at LPC'24 [1] and RAID'24 [2].
To mitigate the Spectre v1 (PHT) vulnerability, the kernel rejects
potentially-dangerous unprivileged BPF programs as of
commit 9183671af6db ("bpf: Fix leakage under speculation on mispredicted
branches"). In [2], we have analyzed 364 object files from open source
projects (Linux Samples and Selftests, BCC, Loxilb, Cilium, libbpf
Examples, Parca, and Prevail) and found that this affects 31% to 54% of
programs.
To resolve this in the majority of cases this patchset adds a fall-back
for mitigating Spectre v1 using speculation barriers. The kernel still
optimistically attempts to verify all speculative paths but uses
speculation barriers against v1 when unsafe behavior is detected. This
allows for more programs to be accepted without disabling the BPF
Spectre mitigations (e.g., by setting cpu_mitigations_off()).
For this, it relies on the fact that speculation barriers generally
prevent all later instructions from executing if the speculation was not
correct (not only loads). See patch 7 ("bpf: Fall back to nospec for
Spectre v1") for a detailed description and references to the relevant
vendor documentation (AMD and Intel x86-64, ARM64, and PowerPC).
In [1] we have measured the overhead of this approach relative to having
mitigations off and including the upstream Spectre v4 mitigations. For
event tracing and stack-sampling profilers, we found that mitigations
increase BPF program execution time by 0% to 62%. For the Loxilb network
load balancer, we have measured a 14% slowdown in SCTP performance but
no significant slowdown for TCP. This overhead only applies to programs
that were previously rejected.
I reran the expressiveness-evaluation with v6.14 and made sure the main
results still match those from [1] and [2] (which used v6.5).
Main design decisions are:
* Do not use separate bytecode insns for v1 and v4 barriers (inspired by
Daniel Borkmann's question at LPC). This simplifies the verifier
significantly and has the only downside that performance on PowerPC is
not as high as it could be.
* Allow archs to still disable v1/v4 mitigations separately by setting
bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v1/v4(). This has the benefit that archs can
benefit from improved BPF expressiveness / performance if they are not
vulnerable (e.g., ARM64 for v4 in the kernel).
* Do not remove the empty BPF_NOSPEC implementation for backends for
which it is unknown whether they are vulnerable to Spectre v1.

Changes:
* v3 -> v4:
- Remove insn parameter from do_check_insn() and extract
process_bpf_exit_full as a function as requested by Eduard
- Investigate apparent sanitize_check_bounds() bug reported by
Kartikeya (does appear to not be a bug but only confusing code),
sent separate patch to document it and add an assert
- Remove already-merged commit 1 ("selftests/bpf: Fix caps for
__xlated/jited_unpriv")
- Drop former commit 10 ("bpf: Allow nospec-protected var-offset stack
access") as it did not include a test and there are other places
where var-off is rejected. Also, none of the tested real-world
programs used var-off in the paper. Therefore keep the old behavior
for now and potentially prepare a patch that converts all cases
later if required.
- Add link to AMD lfence and PowerPC speculation barrier (ori 31,31,0)
documentation
- Move detailed barrier documentation to commit 7 ("bpf: Fall back to
nospec for Spectre v1")
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250501073603.1402960-1-luis.gerhorst@fau.de/
* v2 -> v3:
- Fix
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202504212030.IF1SLhz6-lkp@intel.com/
and similar by moving the bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v1/v4() prototypes out
of the #ifdef CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL. Decided not to move them to
filter.h (where similar bpf_jit_*() prototypes live) as they would
still have to be duplicated in bpf.h to be usable to
bpf_bypass_spec_v1/v4() (unless including filter.h in bpf.h is an
option).
- Fix
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202504220035.SoGveGpj-lkp@intel.com/
by moving the variable declarations out of the switch-case.
- Build touched C files with W=2 and bpf config on x86 to check that
there are no other warnings introduced.
- Found 3 more checkpatch warnings that can be fixed without degrading
readability.
- Rebase to bpf-next 2025-05-01
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250421091802.3234859-1-luis.gerhorst@fau.de/
* v1 -> v2:
- Drop former commits 9 ("bpf: Return PTR_ERR from push_stack()") and 11
("bpf: Fall back to nospec for spec path verification") as suggested
by Alexei. This series therefore no longer changes push_stack() to
return PTR_ERR.
- Add detailed explanation of how lfence works internally and how it
affects the algorithm.
- Add tests checking that nospec instructions are inserted in expected
locations using __xlated_unpriv as suggested by Eduard (also,
include a fix for __xlated_unpriv)
- Add a test for the mitigations from the description of
commit 9183671af6db ("bpf: Fix leakage under speculation on
mispredicted branches")
- Remove unused variables from do_check[_insn]() as suggested by
Eduard.
- Remove INSN_IDX_MODIFIED to improve readability as suggested by
Eduard. This also causes the nospec_result-check to run (and fail)
for jumping-ops. Add a warning to assert that this check must never
succeed in that case.
- Add details on the safety of patch 10 ("bpf: Allow nospec-protected
var-offset stack access") based on the feedback on v1.
- Rebase to bpf-next-250420
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250313172127.1098195-1-luis.gerhorst@fau.de/
* RFC -> v1:
- rebase to bpf-next-250313
- tests: mark expected successes/new errors
- add bpt_jit_bypass_spec_v1/v4() to avoid #ifdef in
bpf_bypass_spec_v1/v4()
- ensure that nospec with v1-support is implemented for archs for
which GCC supports speculation barriers, except for MIPS
- arm64: emit speculation barrier
- powerpc: change nospec to include v1 barrier
- discuss potential security (archs that do not impl. BPF nospec) and
performance (only PowerPC) regressions

This implements the core of the series and causes the verifier to fall
back to mitigating Spectre v1 using speculation barriers. The approach
was presented at LPC'24 [1] and RAID'24 [2].
If we find any forbidden behavior on a speculative path, we insert a
nospec (e.g., lfence speculation barrier on x86) before the instruction
and stop verifying the path. While verifying a speculative path, we can
furthermore stop verification of that path whenever we encounter a
nospec instruction.
A minimal example program would look as follows:
A = true
B = true
if A goto e
f()
if B goto e
unsafe()
e: exit
There are the following speculative and non-speculative paths
(`cur->speculative` and `speculative` referring to the value of the
push_stack() parameters):
- A = true
- B = true
- if A goto e
- A && !cur->speculative && !speculative
- exit
- !A && !cur->speculative && speculative
- f()
- if B goto e
- B && cur->speculative && !speculative
- exit
- !B && cur->speculative && speculative
- unsafe()
If f() contains any unsafe behavior under Spectre v1 and the unsafe
behavior matches `state->speculative &&
error_recoverable_with_nospec(err)`, do_check() will now add a nospec
before f() instead of rejecting the program:
A = true
B = true
if A goto e
nospec
f()
if B goto e
unsafe()
e: exit
Alternatively, the algorithm also takes advantage of nospec instructions
inserted for other reasons (e.g., Spectre v4). Taking the program above
as an example, speculative path exploration can stop before f() if a
nospec was inserted there because of Spectre v4 sanitization.
In this example, all instructions after the nospec are dead code (and
with the nospec they are also dead code speculatively).
For this, it relies on the fact that speculation barriers generally
prevent all later instructions from executing if the speculation was not
correct:
* On Intel x86_64, lfence acts as full speculation barrier, not only as
a load fence [3]:
An LFENCE instruction or a serializing instruction will ensure that
no later instructions execute, even speculatively, until all prior
instructions complete locally. [...] Inserting an LFENCE instruction
after a bounds check prevents later operations from executing before
the bound check completes.
This was experimentally confirmed in [4].
* On AMD x86_64, lfence is dispatch-serializing [5] (requires MSR
C001_1029[1] to be set if the MSR is supported, this happens in
init_amd()). AMD further specifies "A dispatch serializing instruction
forces the processor to retire the serializing instruction and all
previous instructions before the next instruction is executed" [8]. As
dispatch is not specific to memory loads or branches, lfence therefore
also affects all instructions there. Also, if retiring a branch means
it's PC change becomes architectural (should be), this means any
"wrong" speculation is aborted as required for this series.
* ARM's SB speculation barrier instruction also affects "any instruction
that appears later in the program order than the barrier" [6].
* PowerPC's barrier also affects all subsequent instructions [7]:
[...] executing an ori R31,R31,0 instruction ensures that all
instructions preceding the ori R31,R31,0 instruction have completed
before the ori R31,R31,0 instruction completes, and that no
subsequent instructions are initiated, even out-of-order, until
after the ori R31,R31,0 instruction completes. The ori R31,R31,0
instruction may complete before storage accesses associated with
instructions preceding the ori R31,R31,0 instruction have been
performed
Regarding the example, this implies that `if B goto e` will not execute
before `if A goto e` completes. Once `if A goto e` completes, the CPU
should find that the speculation was wrong and continue with `exit`.
If there is any other path that leads to `if B goto e` (and therefore
`unsafe()`) without going through `if A goto e`, then a nospec will
still be needed there. However, this patch assumes this other path will
be explored separately and therefore be discovered by the verifier even
if the exploration discussed here stops at the nospec.
This patch furthermore has the unfortunate consequence that Spectre v1
mitigations now only support architectures which implement BPF_NOSPEC.
Before this commit, Spectre v1 mitigations prevented exploits by
rejecting the programs on all architectures. Because some JITs do not
implement BPF_NOSPEC, this patch therefore may regress unpriv BPF's
security to a limited extent:
* The regression is limited to systems vulnerable to Spectre v1, have
unprivileged BPF enabled, and do NOT emit insns for BPF_NOSPEC. The
latter is not the case for x86 64- and 32-bit, arm64, and powerpc
64-bit and they are therefore not affected by the regression.
According to commit a6f6a95f25 ("LoongArch, bpf: Fix jit to skip
speculation barrier opcode"), LoongArch is not vulnerable to Spectre
v1 and therefore also not affected by the regression.
* To the best of my knowledge this regression may therefore only affect
MIPS. This is deemed acceptable because unpriv BPF is still disabled
there by default. As stated in a previous commit, BPF_NOSPEC could be
implemented for MIPS based on GCC's speculation_barrier
implementation.
* It is unclear which other architectures (besides x86 64- and 32-bit,
ARM64, PowerPC 64-bit, LoongArch, and MIPS) supported by the kernel
are vulnerable to Spectre v1. Also, it is not clear if barriers are
available on these architectures. Implementing BPF_NOSPEC on these
architectures therefore is non-trivial. Searching GCC and the kernel
for speculation barrier implementations for these architectures
yielded no result.
* If any of those regressed systems is also vulnerable to Spectre v4,
the system was already vulnerable to Spectre v4 attacks based on
unpriv BPF before this patch and the impact is therefore further
limited.
As an alternative to regressing security, one could still reject
programs if the architecture does not emit BPF_NOSPEC (e.g., by removing
the empty BPF_NOSPEC-case from all JITs except for LoongArch where it
appears justified). However, this will cause rejections on these archs
that are likely unfounded in the vast majority of cases.
In the tests, some are now successful where we previously had a
false-positive (i.e., rejection). Change them to reflect where the
nospec should be inserted (using __xlated_unpriv) and modify the error
message if the nospec is able to mitigate a problem that previously
shadowed another problem (in that case __xlated_unpriv does not work,
therefore just add a comment).
Define SPEC_V1 to avoid duplicating this ifdef whenever we check for
nospec insns using __xlated_unpriv, define it here once. This also
improves readability. PowerPC can probably also be added here. However,
omit it for now because the BPF CI currently does not include a test.
Limit it to EPERM, EACCES, and EINVAL (and not everything except for
EFAULT and ENOMEM) as it already has the desired effect for most
real-world programs. Briefly went through all the occurrences of EPERM,
EINVAL, and EACCESS in verifier.c to validate that catching them like
this makes sense.

This changes the semantics of BPF_NOSPEC (previously a v4-only barrier)
to always emit a speculation barrier that works against both Spectre v1
AND v4. If mitigation is not needed on an architecture, the backend
should set bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v4/v1().
As of now, this commit only has the user-visible implication that unpriv
BPF's performance on PowerPC is reduced. This is the case because we
have to emit additional v1 barrier instructions for BPF_NOSPEC now.
This commit is required for a future commit to allow us to rely on
BPF_NOSPEC for Spectre v1 mitigation. As of this commit, the feature
that nospec acts as a v1 barrier is unused.
Commit f5e81d1117 ("bpf: Introduce BPF nospec instruction for
mitigating Spectre v4") noted that mitigation instructions for v1 and v4
might be different on some archs. While this would potentially offer
improved performance on PowerPC, it was dismissed after the following
considerations:
* Only having one barrier simplifies the verifier and allows us to
easily rely on v4-induced barriers for reducing the complexity of
v1-induced speculative path verification.
* For the architectures that implemented BPF_NOSPEC, only PowerPC has
distinct instructions for v1 and v4. Even there, some insns may be
shared between the barriers for v1 and v4 (e.g., 'ori 31,31,0' and
'sync'). If this is still found to impact performance in an
unacceptable way, BPF_NOSPEC can be split into BPF_NOSPEC_V1 and
BPF_NOSPEC_V4 later. As an optimization, we can already skip v1/v4
insns from being emitted for PowerPC with this setup if
bypass_spec_v1/v4 is set.
Vulnerability-status for BPF_NOSPEC-based Spectre mitigations (v4 as of
this commit, v1 in the future) is therefore:
* x86 (32-bit and 64-bit), ARM64, and PowerPC (64-bit): Mitigated - This
patch implements BPF_NOSPEC for these architectures. The previous
v4-only version was supported since commit f5e81d1117 ("bpf:
Introduce BPF nospec instruction for mitigating Spectre v4") and
commit b7540d6250 ("powerpc/bpf: Emit stf barrier instruction
sequences for BPF_NOSPEC").
* LoongArch: Not Vulnerable - Commit a6f6a95f25 ("LoongArch, bpf: Fix
jit to skip speculation barrier opcode") is the only other past commit
related to BPF_NOSPEC and indicates that the insn is not required
there.
* MIPS: Vulnerable (if unprivileged BPF is enabled) -
Commit a6f6a95f2580 ("LoongArch, bpf: Fix jit to skip speculation
barrier opcode") indicates that it is not vulnerable, but this
contradicts the kernel and Debian documentation. Therefore, I assume
that there exist vulnerable MIPS CPUs (but maybe not from Loongson?).
In the future, BPF_NOSPEC could be implemented for MIPS based on the
GCC speculation_barrier [1]. For now, we rely on unprivileged BPF
being disabled by default.
* Other: Unknown - To the best of my knowledge there is no definitive
information available that indicates that any other arch is
vulnerable. They are therefore left untouched (BPF_NOSPEC is not
implemented, but bypass_spec_v1/v4 is also not set).
I did the following testing to ensure the insn encoding is correct:
* ARM64:
* 'dsb nsh; isb' was successfully tested with the BPF CI in [2]
* 'sb' locally using QEMU v7.2.15 -cpu max (emitted sb insn is
executed for example with './test_progs -t verifier_array_access')
* PowerPC: The following configs were tested locally with ppc64le QEMU
v8.2 '-machine pseries -cpu POWER9':
* STF_BARRIER_EIEIO + CONFIG_PPC_BOOK32_64
* STF_BARRIER_SYNC_ORI (forced on) + CONFIG_PPC_BOOK32_64
* STF_BARRIER_FALLBACK (forced on) + CONFIG_PPC_BOOK32_64
* CONFIG_PPC_E500 (forced on) + STF_BARRIER_EIEIO
* CONFIG_PPC_E500 (forced on) + STF_BARRIER_SYNC_ORI (forced on)
* CONFIG_PPC_E500 (forced on) + STF_BARRIER_FALLBACK (forced on)
* CONFIG_PPC_E500 (forced on) + STF_BARRIER_NONE (forced on)
Most of those cobinations should not occur in practice, but I was not
able to get an PPC e6500 rootfs (for testing PPC_E500 without forcing
it on). In any case, this should ensure that there are no unexpected
conflicts between the insns when combined like this. Individual v1/v4
barriers were already emitted elsewhere.

JITs can set bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v1/v4() if they want the verifier to
skip analysis/patching for the respective vulnerability. For v4, this
will reduce the number of barriers the verifier inserts. For v1, it
allows more programs to be accepted.
The primary motivation for this is to not regress unpriv BPF's
performance on ARM64 in a future commit where BPF_NOSPEC is also used
against Spectre v1.
This has the user-visible change that v1-induced rejections on
non-vulnerable PowerPC CPUs are avoided.
For now, this does not change the semantics of BPF_NOSPEC. It is still a
v4-only barrier and must not be implemented if bypass_spec_v4 is always
true for the arch. Changing it to a v1 AND v4-barrier is done in a
future commit.
As an alternative to bypass_spec_v1/v4, one could introduce NOSPEC_V1
AND NOSPEC_V4 instructions and allow backends to skip their lowering as
suggested by commit f5e81d1117 ("bpf: Introduce BPF nospec instruction
for mitigating Spectre v4"). Adding bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v1/v4() was
found to be preferable for the following reason:
* bypass_spec_v1/v4 benefits non-vulnerable CPUs: Always performing the
same analysis (not taking into account whether the current CPU is
vulnerable), needlessly restricts users of CPUs that are not
vulnerable. The only use case for this would be portability-testing,
but this can later be added easily when needed by allowing users to
force bypass_spec_v1/v4 to false.
* Portability is still acceptable: Directly disabling the analysis
instead of skipping the lowering of BPF_NOSPEC(_V1/V4) might allow
programs on non-vulnerable CPUs to be accepted while the program will
be rejected on vulnerable CPUs. With the fallback to speculation
barriers for Spectre v1 implemented in a future commit, this will only
affect programs that do variable stack-accesses or are very complex.
For PowerPC, the SEC_FTR checking in bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v4() is based
on the check that was previously located in the BPF_NOSPEC case.
For LoongArch, it would likely be safe to set both
bpf_jit_bypass_spec_v1() and _v4() according to
commit a6f6a95f2580 ("LoongArch, bpf: Fix jit to skip speculation
barrier opcode"). This is omitted here as I am unable to do any testing
for LoongArch.
Hari's ack concerns the PowerPC part only.

This is required to catch the errors later and fall back to a nospec if
on a speculative path.
Eliminate the regs variable as it is only used once and insn_idx is not
modified in-between the definition and usage.
Do not pass insn but compute it in the function itself. As Eduard points
out [1], insn is assumed to correspond to env->insn_idx in many places
(e.g, __check_reg_arg()).
Move code into do_check_insn(), replace

* "goto process_bpf_exit" with "return PROCESS_BPF_EXIT"

When reg->type is CONST_PTR_TO_MAP, it can not be null. However the
verifier explores the branches under rX == 0 in check_cond_jmp_op()
even if reg->type is CONST_PTR_TO_MAP, because it was not checked for
in reg_not_null().
Fix this by adding CONST_PTR_TO_MAP to the set of types that are
considered non nullable in reg_not_null().
An old "unpriv: cmp map pointer with zero" selftest fails with this
change, because now early out correctly triggers in
check_cond_jmp_op(), making the verification to pass.
In practice verifier may allow pointer to null comparison in unpriv,
since in many cases the relevant branch and comparison op are removed
as dead code. So change the expected test result to __success_unpriv.

====================
bpf: Implement mprog API on top of existing cgroup progs
Current cgroup prog ordering is appending at attachment time. This is not
ideal. In some cases, users want specific ordering at a particular cgroup
level. For example, in Meta, we have a case where three different
applications all have cgroup/setsockopt progs and they require specific
ordering. Current approach is to use a bpfchainer where one bpf prog
contains multiple global functions and each global function can be
freplaced by a prog for a specific application. The ordering of global
functions decides the ordering of those application specific bpf progs.
Using bpfchainer is a centralized approach and is not desirable as
one of applications acts as a daemon. The decentralized attachment
approach is more favorable for those applications.
To address this, the existing mprog API ([2]) seems an ideal solution with
supporting BPF_F_BEFORE and BPF_F_AFTER flags on top of existing cgroup
bpf implementation. More specifically, the support is added for prog/link
attachment with BPF_F_BEFORE and BPF_F_AFTER. The kernel mprog
interface ([2]) is not used and the implementation is directly done in
cgroup bpf code base. The mprog 'revision' is also implemented in
attach/detach/replace, so users can query revision number to check the
change of cgroup prog list.
The patch set contains 5 patches. Patch 1 adds revision support for
cgroup bpf progs. Patch 2 implements mprog API implementation for
prog/link attach and revision update. Patch 3 adds a new libbpf
API to do cgroup link attach with flags like BPF_F_BEFORE/BPF_F_AFTER.
Patches 4 and 5 add two tests to validate the implementation.

Changelogs:
v4 -> v5:
- v4: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250530173812.1823479-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev/
- Remove early prog/link checking based flags and id_or_fd as later code
will do checking as well.
- Do proper cgroup flag checking for bpf_prog_attach().
v3 -> v4:
- v3: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250517162720.4077882-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev/
- Refactor some to make BPF_F_BEFORE/BPF_F_AFTER handling easier to understand.
- Perviously, I degraded 'link' to 'prog' for later mprog handling. This is
not correct. Similar to mprog.c, we should be check 'link' instead link->prog
since it is possible two different links may have the same underlying prog and
we do not want to miss supporting such use case.
v2 -> v3:
- v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250508223524.487875-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev/
- Big change to replace get_anchor_prog() to get_prog_list() so the
'struct bpf_prog_list *' is returned directly.
- Support 'BPF_F_BEFORE | BPF_F_AFTER' attachment if the prog list is empty
and flags do not have 'BPF_F_LINK | BPF_F_ID' and id_or_fd is 0.
- Add BPF_F_LINK support.
- Patch 4 is added to reuse id_from_prog_fd() and id_from_link_fd().
v1 -> v2:
- v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250411011523.1838771-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev/
- Change cgroup_bpf.revisions from atomic64_t to u64.
- Added missing bpf_prog_put in various places.
- Rename get_cmp_prog() to get_anchor_prog(). The implementation tries to
find the anchor prog regardless of whether id_or_fd is non-NULL or not.
- Rename bpf_cgroup_prog_attached() to is_cgroup_prog_type() and handle
BPF_PROG_TYPE_LSM properly (with BPF_LSM_CGROUP attach type).
- I kept 'id || id_or_fd' condition as the condition 'id' is also used
in mprog.c so I assume it is okay in cgroup.c as well.

Currently libbpf supports bpf_program__attach_cgroup() with signature:
LIBBPF_API struct bpf_link *
bpf_program__attach_cgroup(const struct bpf_program *prog, int cgroup_fd);
To support mprog style attachment, additionsl fields like flags,
relative_{fd,id} and expected_revision are needed.
Add a new API:
LIBBPF_API struct bpf_link *
bpf_program__attach_cgroup_opts(const struct bpf_program *prog, int cgroup_fd,
const struct bpf_cgroup_opts *opts);
where bpf_cgroup_opts contains all above needed fields.

Current cgroup prog ordering is appending at attachment time. This is not
ideal. In some cases, users want specific ordering at a particular cgroup
level. To address this, the existing mprog API seems an ideal solution with
supporting BPF_F_BEFORE and BPF_F_AFTER flags.
But there are a few obstacles to directly use kernel mprog interface.
Currently cgroup bpf progs already support prog attach/detach/replace
and link-based attach/detach/replace. For example, in struct
bpf_prog_array_item, the cgroup_storage field needs to be together
with bpf prog. But the mprog API struct bpf_mprog_fp only has bpf_prog
as the member, which makes it difficult to use kernel mprog interface.
In another case, the current cgroup prog detach tries to use the
same flag as in attach. This is different from mprog kernel interface
which uses flags passed from user space.
So to avoid modifying existing behavior, I made the following changes to
support mprog API for cgroup progs:
- The support is for prog list at cgroup level. Cross-level prog list
(a.k.a. effective prog list) is not supported.
- Previously, BPF_F_PREORDER is supported only for prog attach, now
BPF_F_PREORDER is also supported by link-based attach.
- For attach, BPF_F_BEFORE/BPF_F_AFTER/BPF_F_ID/BPF_F_LINK is supported
similar to kernel mprog but with different implementation.
- For detach and replace, use the existing implementation.
- For attach, detach and replace, the revision for a particular prog
list, associated with a particular attach type, will be updated
by increasing count by 1.

One of key items in mprog API is revision for prog list. The revision
number will be increased if the prog list changed, e.g., attach, detach
or replace.
Add 'revisions' field to struct cgroup_bpf, representing revisions for
all cgroup related attachment types. The initial revision value is
set to 1, the same as kernel mprog implementations.

The BTF dumper code currently displays arrays of characters as just that -
arrays, with each character formatted individually. Sometimes this is what
makes sense, but it's nice to be able to treat that array as a string.
This change adds a special case to the btf_dump functionality to allow
0-terminated arrays of single-byte integer values to be printed as
character strings. Characters for which isprint() returns false are
printed as hex-escaped values. This is enabled when the new ".emit_strings"
is set to 1 in the btf_dump_type_data_opts structure.
As an example, here's what it looks like to dump the string "hello" using
a few different field values for btf_dump_type_data_opts (.compact = 1):
- .emit_strings = 0, .skip_names = 0: (char[6])['h','e','l','l','o',]
- .emit_strings = 0, .skip_names = 1: ['h','e','l','l','o',]
- .emit_strings = 1, .skip_names = 0: (char[6])"hello"
- .emit_strings = 1, .skip_names = 1: "hello"
Here's the string "h\xff", dumped with .compact = 1 and .skip_names = 1:
- .emit_strings = 0: ['h',-1,]
- .emit_strings = 1: "h\xff"

As is, it appears as if pointer arithmetic is allowed for everything
except PTR_TO_{STACK,MAP_VALUE} if one only looks at
sanitize_check_bounds(). However, this is misleading as the function
only works together with retrieve_ptr_limit() and the two must be kept
in sync. This patch documents the interdependency and adds a check to
ensure they stay in sync.
adjust_ptr_min_max_vals(): Because the preceding switch returns -EACCES
for every opcode except for ADD/SUB, the sanitize_needed() following the
sanitize_check_bounds() call is always true if reached. This means,
unless sanitize_check_bounds() detected that the pointer goes OOB
because of the ADD/SUB and returns -EACCES, sanitize_ptr_alu() always
executes after sanitize_check_bounds().
The following shows that this also implies that retrieve_ptr_limit()
runs in all relevant cases.
Note that there are two calls to sanitize_ptr_alu(), these are simply
needed to easily calculate the correct alu_limit as explained in
commit 7fedb63a8307 ("bpf: Tighten speculative pointer arithmetic
mask"). The truncation-simulation is already performed on the first
call.
In the second sanitize_ptr_alu(commit_window = true), we always run
retrieve_ptr_limit(), unless:
* can_skip_alu_sanititation() is true, notably `BPF_SRC(insn->code) ==
BPF_K`. BPF_K is fine because it means that there is no scalar
register (which could be subject to speculative scalar confusion due
to Spectre v4) that goes into the ALU operation. The pointer register
can not be subject to v4-based value confusion due to the nospec
added. Thus, in this case it would have been fine to also skip
sanitize_check_bounds().
* If we are on a speculative path (`vstate->speculative`) and in the
second "commit" phase, sanitize_ptr_alu() always just returns 0. This
makes sense because there are no ALU sanitization limits to be learned
from speculative paths. Furthermore, because the sanitization will
ensure that pointer arithmetic stays in (architectural) bounds, the
sanitize_check_bounds() on the speculative path could also be skipped.
The second case needs more attention: Assume we have some ALU operation
that is used with scalars architecturally, but with a
non-PTR_TO_{STACK,MAP_VALUE} pointer (e.g., PTR_TO_PACKET)
speculatively. It might appear as if this would allow an unsanitized
pointer ALU operations, but this can not happen because one of the
following two always holds:
* The type mismatch stems from Spectre v4, then it is prevented by a
nospec after the possibly-bypassed store involving the pointer. There
is no speculative path simulated for this case thus it never happens.
* The type mismatch stems from a Spectre v1 gadget like the following:
r1 = slow(0)
r4 = fast(0)
r3 = SCALAR // Spectre v4 scalar confusion
if (r1) {
r2 = PTR_TO_PACKET
} else {
r2 = 42
}
if (r4) {
r2 += r3
*r2
}
If `r2 = PTR_TO_PACKET` is indeed dead code, it will be sanitized to
`goto -1` (as is the case for the r4-if block). If it is not (e.g., if
`r1 = r4 = 1` is possible), it will also be explored on an
architectural path and retrieve_ptr_limit() will reject it.
To summarize, the exception for `vstate->speculative` is safe.
Back to retrieve_ptr_limit(): It only allows the ALU operation if the
involved pointer register (can be either source or destination for ADD)
is PTR_TO_STACK or PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE. Otherwise, it returns -EOPNOTSUPP.
Therefore, sanitize_check_bounds() returning 0 for
non-PTR_TO_{STACK,MAP_VALUE} is fine because retrieve_ptr_limit() also
runs for all relevant cases and prevents unsafe operations.
To summarize, we allow unsanitized pointer arithmetic with 64-bit
ADD/SUB for the following instructions if the requirements from
retrieve_ptr_limit() AND sanitize_check_bounds() hold:
* ptr -=/+= imm32 (i.e. `BPF_SRC(insn->code) == BPF_K`)
* PTR_TO_{STACK,MAP_VALUE} -= scalar
* PTR_TO_{STACK,MAP_VALUE} += scalar
* scalar += PTR_TO_{STACK,MAP_VALUE}
To document the interdependency between sanitize_check_bounds() and
retrieve_ptr_limit(), add a verifier_bug_if() to make sure they stay in
sync.

"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- KUnit '#[test]'s:
- Support KUnit-mapped 'assert!' macros.
The support that landed last cycle was very basic, and the
'assert!' macros panicked since they were the standard library
ones. Now, they are mapped to the KUnit ones in a similar way to
how is done for doctests, reusing the infrastructure there.
With this, a failing test like:
#[test]
fn my_first_test() {
assert_eq!(42, 43);
}
will report:
# my_first_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:251
Expected 42 == 43 to be true, but is false
# my_first_test.speed: normal
not ok 1 my_first_test
- Support tests with checked 'Result' return types.
The return value of test functions that return a 'Result' will
be checked, thus one can now easily catch errors when e.g. using
the '?' operator in tests.
With this, a failing test like:
#[test]
fn my_test() -> Result {
f()?;
Ok(())
}
will report:
# my_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:321
Expected is_test_result_ok(my_test()) to be true, but is false
# my_test.speed: normal
not ok 1 my_test
- Add 'kunit_tests' to the prelude.
- Clarify the remaining language unstable features in use.
- Compile 'core' with edition 2024 for Rust >= 1.87.
- Workaround 'bindgen' issue with forward references to 'enum' types.
- objtool: relax slice condition to cover more 'noreturn' functions.
- Use absolute paths in macros referencing 'core' and 'kernel'
crates.
- Skip '-mno-fdpic' flag for bindgen in GCC 32-bit arm builds.
- Clean some 'doc_markdown' lint hits -- we may enable it later on.
'kernel' crate:
- 'alloc' module:
- 'Box': support for type coercion, e.g. 'Box<T>' to 'Box<dyn U>'
if 'T' implements 'U'.
- 'Vec': implement new methods (prerequisites for nova-core and
binder): 'truncate', 'resize', 'clear', 'pop',
'push_within_capacity' (with new error type 'PushError'),
'drain_all', 'retain', 'remove' (with new error type
'RemoveError'), insert_within_capacity' (with new error type
'InsertError').
In addition, simplify 'push' using 'spare_capacity_mut', split
'set_len' into 'inc_len' and 'dec_len', add type invariant 'len
<= capacity' and simplify 'truncate' using 'dec_len'.
- 'time' module:
- Morph the Rust hrtimer subsystem into the Rust timekeeping
subsystem, covering delay, sleep, timekeeping, timers. This new
subsystem has all the relevant timekeeping C maintainers listed
in the entry.
- Replace 'Ktime' with 'Delta' and 'Instant' types to represent a
duration of time and a point in time.
- Temporarily add 'Ktime' to 'hrtimer' module to allow 'hrtimer'
to delay converting to 'Instant' and 'Delta'.
- 'xarray' module:
- Add a Rust abstraction for the 'xarray' data structure. This
abstraction allows Rust code to leverage the 'xarray' to store
types that implement 'ForeignOwnable'. This support is a
dependency for memory backing feature of the Rust null block
driver, which is waiting to be merged.
- Set up an entry in 'MAINTAINERS' for the XArray Rust support.
Patches will go to the new Rust XArray tree and then via the
Rust subsystem tree for now.
- Allow 'ForeignOwnable' to carry information about the pointed-to
type. This helps asserting alignment requirements for the
pointer passed to the foreign language.
- 'container_of!': retain pointer mut-ness and add a compile-time
check of the type of the first parameter ('$field_ptr').
- Support optional message in 'static_assert!'.
- Add C FFI types (e.g. 'c_int') to the prelude.
- 'str' module: simplify KUnit tests 'format!' macro, convert
'rusttest' tests into KUnit, take advantage of the '-> Result'
support in KUnit '#[test]'s.
- 'list' module: add examples for 'List', fix path of
'assert_pinned!' (so far unused macro rule).
- 'workqueue' module: remove 'HasWork::OFFSET'.
- 'page' module: add 'inline' attribute.
'macros' crate:
- 'module' macro: place 'cleanup_module()' in '.exit.text' section.
'pin-init' crate:
- Add 'Wrapper<T>' trait for creating pin-initializers for wrapper
structs with a structurally pinned value such as 'UnsafeCell<T>' or
'MaybeUninit<T>'.
- Add 'MaybeZeroable' derive macro to try to derive 'Zeroable', but
not error if not all fields implement it. This is needed to derive
'Zeroable' for all bindgen-generated structs.
- Add 'unsafe fn cast_[pin_]init()' functions to unsafely change the
initialized type of an initializer. These are utilized by the
'Wrapper<T>' implementations.
- Add support for visibility in 'Zeroable' derive macro.
- Add support for 'union's in 'Zeroable' derive macro.
- Upstream dev news: streamline CI, fix some bugs. Add new workflows
to check if the user-space version and the one in the kernel tree
have diverged. Use the issues tab [1] to track them, which should
help folks report and diagnose issues w.r.t. 'pin-init' better.

Pull smb server updates from Steve French:
"Four smb3 server fixes:
- Fix for special character handling when mounting with "posix"
- Fix for mounts from Mac for fs that don't provide unique inode
numbers
- Two cleanup patches (e.g. for crypto calls)"
* tag '6.16-rc-ksmbd-server-fixes' of git://git.samba.org/ksmbd:
ksmbd: allow a filename to contain special characters on SMB3.1.1 posix extension
ksmbd: provide zero as a unique ID to the Mac client
ksmbd: remove unnecessary softdep on crc32
ksmbd: use SHA-256 library API instead of crypto_shash API
Pull more bcachefs updates from Kent Overstreet:
"More bcachefs updates:
- More stack usage improvements (~600 bytes)
- Define CLASS()es for some commonly used types, and convert most
rcu_read_lock() uses to the new lock guards
- New introspection:
- Superblock error counters are now available in sysfs:
previously, they were only visible with 'show-super', which
doesn't provide a live view
- New tracepoint, error_throw(), which is called any time we
return an error and start to unwind
- Repair
- check_fix_ptrs() can now repair btree node roots
- We can now repair when we've somehow ended up with the journal
using a superblock bucket
- Revert some leftovers from the aborted directory i_size feature,
and add repair code: some userspace programs (e.g. sshfs) were
getting confused
It seems in 6.15 there's a bug where i_nlink on the vfs inode has been
getting incorrectly set to 0, with some unfortunate results;
list_journal analysis showed bch2_inode_rm() being called (by
bch2_evict_inode()) when it clearly should not have been.
- bch2_inode_rm() now runs "should we be deleting this inode?" checks
that were previously only run when deleting unlinked inodes in
recovery
- check_subvol() was treating a dangling subvol (pointing to a
missing root inode) like a dangling dirent, and deleting it. This
was the really unfortunate one: check_subvol() will now recreate
the root inode if necessary
This took longer to debug than it should have, and we lost several
filesystems unnecessarily, because users have been ignoring the
release notes and blindly running 'fsck -y'. Debugging required
reconstructing what happened through analyzing the journal, when
ideally someone would have noticed 'hey, fsck is asking me if I want
to repair this: it usually doesn't, maybe I should run this in dry run
mode and check what's going on?'
As a reminder, fsck errors are being marked as autofix once we've
verified, in real world usage, that they're working correctly; blindly
running 'fsck -y' on an experimental filesystem is playing with fire
Up to this incident we've had an excellent track record of not losing
data, so let's try to learn from this one
This is a community effort, I wouldn't be able to get this done
without the help of all the people QAing and providing excellent bug
reports and feedback based on real world usage. But please don't
ignore advice and expect me to pick up the pieces
If an error isn't marked as autofix, and it /is/ happening in the
wild, that's also something I need to know about so we can check it
out and add it to the autofix list if repair looks good. I haven't
been getting those reports, and I should be; since we don't have any
sort of telemetry yet I am absolutely dependent on user reports
Now I'll be spending the weekend working on new repair code to see if
I can get a filesystem back for a user who didn't have backups"

Users seem to be assuming that the 'dropped unflushed entries' message
at the end of journal read indicates some sort of problem, when it does
not - we expect there to be entries in the journal that weren't
commited, it's purely informational so that we can correlate journal
sequence numbers elsewhere when debugging.
Shorten the log message a bit to hopefully make this clearer.

We had a bug where the root inode of a subvolume was erronously deleted:
bch2_evict_inode() called bch2_inode_rm(), meaning the VFS inode's
i_nlink was somehow set to 0 when it shouldn't have - the inode in the
btree indicated it clearly was not unlinked.
This has been addressed with additional safety checks in
bch2_inode_rm() - pulling in the safety checks we already were doing
when deleting unlinked inodes in recovery - but the really disastrous
bug was in check_subvols(), which on finding a dangling subvol (subvol
with a missing root inode) would delete the subvolume.
I assume this bug dates from early check_directory_structure() code,
which originally handled subvolumes and normal paths - the idea being
that still live contents of the subvolume would get reattached
somewhere.
But that's incorrect, and disastrously so; deleting a subvolume triggers
deleting the snapshot ID it points to, deleting the entire contents.
The correct way to repair is to recreate the root inode if it's missing;
then any contents will get reattached under that subvolume's lost+found.
