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.

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.

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.

The kthreads for nbcon consoles are created by nbcon_alloc() at
the beginning of the console registration. But it currently works
only for the 2nd or later nbcon console because the code checks
@printk_kthreads_running.
The kthread for the 1st registered nbcon console is created at the very
end of register_console() by printk_kthreads_check_locked(). As a result,
the entire log is replayed synchronously when the "enabled" message
gets printed. It might block the boot for a long time with a slow serial
console.
Prevent the synchronous flush by creating the kthread even for the 1st
nbcon console when it is safe (kthreads ready and no boot consoles).
Also inform printk() to use the kthread by setting
@printk_kthreads_running. Note that the kthreads already must be
running when it is safe and this is not the 1st nbcon console.
Symmetrically, clear @printk_kthreads_running when the last nbcon
console was unregistered by nbcon_free(). This requires updating
@have_nbcon_console before nbcon_free() gets called.
Note that there is _no_ problem when the 1st nbcon console replaces boot
consoles. In this case, the kthread will be started at the end
of registration after the boot consoles are removed. But the console
does not reply the entire log buffer in this case. Note that
the flag CON_PRINTBUFFER is always cleared when the boot consoles are
removed and vice versa.

Pull more tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix regression of waiting a long time on updating trace event filters
When the faultable trace points were added, it needed task trace RCU
synchronization.
This was added to the tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() function.
The filter logic always called this function whenever it updated the
trace event filters before freeing the old filters. This increased
the time of "trace-cmd record" from taking 13 seconds to running over
2 minutes to complete.
Move the freeing of the filters to call_rcu*() logic, which brings
the time back down to 13 seconds.
- Fix ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() error path lock protection
The error path of the ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() released the
mutex too early and allowed subsequent accesses to setting the
subbuffer size to corrupt the data and cause a bug.
By moving the mutex locking to the end of the error path, it prevents
the reentrant access to the critical data and also allows the
function to convert the taking of the mutex over to the guard()
logic.
- Remove unused power management clock events
The clock events were added in 2010 for power management. In 2011 arm
used them. In 2013 the code they were used in was removed. These
events have been wasting memory since then.
- Fix sparse warnings
There was a few places that sparse warned about trace_events_filter.c
where file->filter was referenced directly, but it is annotated with
an __rcu tag. Use the helper functions and fix them up to use
rcu_dereference() properly.

When faultable trace events were added, a trace event may no longer use
normal RCU to synchronize but instead used synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace().
This synchronization takes a much longer time to synchronize.
The filter logic would free the filters by calling
tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() after it unhooked the filter strings
and before freeing them. With this function now calling
synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace() this increased the time to free a filter
tremendously. On a PREEMPT_RT system, it was even more noticeable.
# time trace-cmd record -p function sleep 1
[..]
real 2m29.052s
user 0m0.244s
sys 0m20.136s
As trace-cmd would clear out all the filters before recording, it could
take up to 2 minutes to do a recording of "sleep 1".
To find out where the issues was:
~# trace-cmd sqlhist -e -n sched_stack select start.prev_state as state, end.next_comm as comm, TIMESTAMP_DELTA_USECS as delta, start.STACKTRACE as stack from sched_switch as start join sched_switch as end on start.prev_pid = end.next_pid
Which will produce the following commands (and -e will also execute them):
echo 's:sched_stack s64 state; char comm[16]; u64 delta; unsigned long stack[];' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events
echo 'hist:keys=prev_pid:__arg_18057_2=prev_state,__arg_18057_4=common_timestamp.usecs,__arg_18057_7=common_stacktrace' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:__state_18057_1=$__arg_18057_2,__comm_18057_3=next_comm,__delta_18057_5=common_timestamp.usecs-$__arg_18057_4,__stack_18057_6=$__arg_18057_7:onmatch(sched.sched_switch).trace(sched_stack,$__state_18057_1,$__comm_18057_3,$__delta_18057_5,$__stack_18057_6)' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
The above creates a synthetic event that creates a stack trace when a task
schedules out and records it with the time it scheduled back in. Basically
the time a task is off the CPU. It also records the state of the task when
it left the CPU (running, blocked, sleeping, etc). It also saves the comm
of the task as "comm" (needed for the next command).
~# echo 'hist:keys=state,stack.stacktrace:vals=delta:sort=state,delta if comm == "trace-cmd" && state & 3' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/synthetic/sched_stack/trigger
The above creates a histogram with buckets per state, per stack, and the
value of the total time it was off the CPU for that stack trace. It filters
on tasks with "comm == trace-cmd" and only the sleeping and blocked states
(1 - sleeping, 2 - blocked).
~# trace-cmd record -p function sleep 1
~# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/synthetic/sched_stack/hist | tail -18

This shows that this particular trace waited for 99 seconds on
synchronize_rcu_tasks() in apply_subsystem_event_filter().
In fact, there's a lot of places in the filter code that spends a lot of
time waiting for synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace() in order to free the
filters.
Add helper functions that will use call_rcu*() variants to asynchronously
free the filters. This brings the timings back to normal:
# time trace-cmd record -p function sleep 1
[..]
real 0m14.681s
user 0m0.335s

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.

The following ftrace patch for riscv uses a data store to update ftrace
function. Therefore, a romote fence is required to order it against
function_trace_op updates. The mechanism is similar to the fence between
function_trace_op and update_ftrace_func in the generic ftrace, so we
leverage the same ftrace_sync_ipi function.

There may be concurrency between perf_cgroup_switch and
perf_cgroup_event_disable. Consider the following scenario: after a new
perf cgroup event is created on CPU0, the new event may not trigger
a reprogramming, causing ctx->is_active to be 0. In this case, when CPU1
disables this perf event, it executes __perf_remove_from_context->
list _del_event->perf_cgroup_event_disable on CPU1, which causes a race
with perf_cgroup_switch running on CPU0.
The following describes the details of this concurrency scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
perf_cgroup_switch:
...
# cpuctx->cgrp is not NULL here
if (READ_ONCE(cpuctx->cgrp) == NULL)
return;
perf_remove_from_context:
...
raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock);
...
# ctx->is_active == 0 because reprogramm is not
# tigger, so CPU1 can do __perf_remove_from_context
# for CPU0
__perf_remove_from_context:
perf_cgroup_event_disable:
...
if (--ctx->nr_cgroups)
...
# this warning will happened because CPU1 changed
# ctx.nr_cgroups to 0.
WARN_ON_ONCE(cpuctx->ctx.nr_cgroups == 0);

Commit a3c3c6667("perf/core: Fix child_total_time_enabled accounting
bug at task exit") moves the event->state update to before
list_del_event(). This makes the event->state test in list_del_event()
always false; never calling perf_cgroup_event_disable().
As a result, cpuctx->cgrp won't be cleared properly; causing havoc.

While chasing down a missing perf_cgroup_event_disable() elsewhere,
Leo Yan found that both perf_put_aux_event() and
perf_remove_sibling_event() were also missing one.
Specifically, the rule is that events that switch to OFF,ERROR need to
call perf_cgroup_event_disable().
Unify the disable paths to ensure this.

Baisheng Gao reported an ARM64 crash, which Mark decoded as being a
synchronous external abort -- most likely due to trying to access
MMIO in bad ways.
The crash further shows perf trying to do a user stack sample while in
exit_mmap()'s tlb_finish_mmu() -- i.e. while tearing down the address
space it is trying to access.
It turns out that we stop perf after we tear down the userspace mm; a
receipie for disaster, since perf likes to access userspace for
various reasons.
Flip this order by moving up where we stop perf in do_exit().
Additionally, harden PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN and PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER
to abort when the current task does not have an mm (exit_mm() makes
sure to set current->mm = NULL; before commencing with the actual
teardown). Such that CPU wide events don't trip on this same problem.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix UAF in module unload in ftrace when there's a bug in the module
If a module is buggy and triggers ftrace_disable which is set when an
anomaly is detected, when it gets unloaded it doesn't free the hooks
into kallsyms, and when a kallsyms lookup is performed it may access
the mod->modname field and crash via UAF.
Fix this by still freeing the mod_maps that are attached to kallsyms
on module unload regardless if ftrace_disable is set or not.
- Do not bother allocating mod_maps for kallsyms if ftrace_disable is
set
- Remove unused trace events
When a trace event or tracepoint is created but not used, it still
creates the code and data structures needed for that trace event.
This just wastes memory.
Remove the trace events that are created but not used. This does not
remove trace events that are created but are not used due configs not
being set. That will be handled later. This only removes events that
have no user under any config.

The above issue may happen as follows:
(1) Add kprobe tracepoint;
(2) insmod test.ko;
(3) Module triggers ftrace disabled;
(4) rmmod test.ko;
(5) cat /proc/kallsyms; --> Will trigger UAF as test.ko already removed;
ftrace_mod_get_kallsym()
...
strscpy(module_name, mod_map->mod->name, MODULE_NAME_LEN);
...
The problem is when a module triggers an issue with ftrace and
sets ftrace_disable. The ftrace_disable is set when an anomaly is
discovered and to prevent any more damage, ftrace stops all text
modification. The issue that happened was that the ftrace_disable stops
more than just the text modification.
When a module is loaded, its init functions can also be traced. Because
kallsyms deletes the init functions after a module has loaded, ftrace
saves them when the module is loaded and function tracing is enabled. This
allows the output of the function trace to show the init function names
instead of just their raw memory addresses.
When a module is removed, ftrace_release_mod() is called, and if
ftrace_disable is set, it just returns without doing anything more. The
problem here is that it leaves the mod_list still around and if kallsyms
is called, it will call into this code and access the module memory that
has already been freed as it will return:
strscpy(module_name, mod_map->mod->name, MODULE_NAME_LEN);
Where the "mod" no longer exists and triggers a UAF bug.

Commit fb49f07ba1 ("locking/mutex: implement mutex_lock_killable_nest_lock")
changed the set of functions that mutex.c defines when CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
is set.
- it removed the "extern" declaration of mutex_lock_killable_nested from
include/linux/mutex.h, and replaced it with a macro since it could be
treated as a special case of _mutex_lock_killable. It also removed a
definition of the function in kernel/locking/mutex.c.
- likewise, it replaced mutex_trylock() with the more generic
mutex_trylock_nest_lock() and replaced mutex_trylock() with a macro.
However, it left the old definitions in place in kernel/locking/rtmutex_api.c,
which causes failures when building with CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES=y. Bring over
the changes.
