From 5b7c4cabbb65f5c469464da6c5f614cbd7f730f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2023 18:24:12 -0800 Subject: Merge tag 'net-next-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core: - Add dedicated kmem_cache for typical/small skb->head, avoid having to access struct page at kfree time, and improve memory use. - Introduce sysctl to set default RPS configuration for new netdevs. - Define Netlink protocol specification format which can be used to describe messages used by each family and auto-generate parsers. Add tools for generating kernel data structures and uAPI headers. - Expose all net/core sysctls inside netns. - Remove 4s sleep in netpoll if carrier is instantly detected on boot. - Add configurable limit of MDB entries per port, and port-vlan. - Continue populating drop reasons throughout the stack. - Retire a handful of legacy Qdiscs and classifiers. Protocols: - Support IPv4 big TCP (TSO frames larger than 64kB). - Add IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option, to control local port range on socket by socket basis. - Track and report in procfs number of MPTCP sockets used. - Support mixing IPv4 and IPv6 flows in the in-kernel MPTCP path manager. - IPv6: don't check net.ipv6.route.max_size and rely on garbage collection to free memory (similarly to IPv4). - Support Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP) flavor in SRv6 (RFC8986). - ICMP: add per-rate limit counters. - Add support for user scanning requests in ieee802154. - Remove static WEP support. - Support minimal Wi-Fi 7 Extremely High Throughput (EHT) rate reporting. - WiFi 7 EHT channel puncturing support (client & AP). BPF: - Add a rbtree data structure following the "next-gen data structure" precedent set by recently added linked list, that is, by using kfunc + kptr instead of adding a new BPF map type. - Expose XDP hints via kfuncs with initial support for RX hash and timestamp metadata. - Add BPF_F_NO_TUNNEL_KEY extension to bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key to better support decap on GRE tunnel devices not operating in collect metadata. - Improve x86 JIT's codegen for PROBE_MEM runtime error checks. - Remove the need for trace_printk_lock for bpf_trace_printk and bpf_trace_vprintk helpers. - Extend libbpf's bpf_tracing.h support for tracing arguments of kprobes/uprobes and syscall as a special case. - Significantly reduce the search time for module symbols by livepatch and BPF. - Enable cpumasks to be used as kptrs, which is useful for tracing programs tracking which tasks end up running on which CPUs in different time intervals. - Add support for BPF trampoline on s390x and riscv64. - Add capability to export the XDP features supported by the NIC. - Add __bpf_kfunc tag for marking kernel functions as kfuncs. - Add cgroup.memory=nobpf kernel parameter option to disable BPF memory accounting for container environments. Netfilter: - Remove the CLUSTERIP target. It has been marked as obsolete for years, and we still have WARN splats wrt races of the out-of-band /proc interface installed by this target. - Add 'destroy' commands to nf_tables. They are identical to the existing 'delete' commands, but do not return an error if the referenced object (set, chain, rule...) did not exist. Driver API: - Improve cpumask_local_spread() locality to help NICs set the right IRQ affinity on AMD platforms. - Separate C22 and C45 MDIO bus transactions more clearly. - Introduce new DCB table to control DSCP rewrite on egress. - Support configuration of Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA) Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) (802.3cg-2019). Modern version of shared medium Ethernet. - Support for MAC Merge layer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99). Allowing preemption of low priority frames by high priority frames. - Add support for controlling MACSec offload using netlink SET. - Rework devlink instance refcounts to allow registration and de-registration under the instance lock. Split the code into multiple files, drop some of the unnecessarily granular locks and factor out common parts of netlink operation handling. - Add TX frame aggregation parameters (for USB drivers). - Add a new attr TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG to report TC (offload) warning messages with notifications for debug. - Allow offloading of UDP NEW connections via act_ct. - Add support for per action HW stats in TC. - Support hardware miss to TC action (continue processing in SW from a specific point in the action chain). - Warn if old Wireless Extension user space interface is used with modern cfg80211/mac80211 drivers. Do not support Wireless Extensions for Wi-Fi 7 devices at all. Everyone should switch to using nl80211 interface instead. - Improve the CAN bit timing configuration. Use extack to return error messages directly to user space, update the SJW handling, including the definition of a new default value that will benefit CAN-FD controllers, by increasing their oscillator tolerance.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +================================== +Fprobe - Function entry/exit probe +================================== + +.. Author: Masami Hiramatsu + +Introduction +============ + +Fprobe is a function entry/exit probe mechanism based on ftrace. +Instead of using ftrace full feature, if you only want to attach callbacks +on function entry and exit, similar to the kprobes and kretprobes, you can +use fprobe. Compared with kprobes and kretprobes, fprobe gives faster +instrumentation for multiple functions with single handler. This document +describes how to use fprobe. + +The usage of fprobe +=================== + +The fprobe is a wrapper of ftrace (+ kretprobe-like return callback) to +attach callbacks to multiple function entry and exit. User needs to set up +the `struct fprobe` and pass it to `register_fprobe()`. + +Typically, `fprobe` data structure is initialized with the `entry_handler` +and/or `exit_handler` as below. + +.. code-block:: c + + struct fprobe fp = { + .entry_handler = my_entry_callback, + .exit_handler = my_exit_callback, + }; + +To enable the fprobe, call one of register_fprobe(), register_fprobe_ips(), and +register_fprobe_syms(). These functions register the fprobe with different types +of parameters. + +The register_fprobe() enables a fprobe by function-name filters. +E.g. this enables @fp on "func*()" function except "func2()".:: + + register_fprobe(&fp, "func*", "func2"); + +The register_fprobe_ips() enables a fprobe by ftrace-location addresses. +E.g. + +.. code-block:: c + + unsigned long ips[] = { 0x.... }; + + register_fprobe_ips(&fp, ips, ARRAY_SIZE(ips)); + +And the register_fprobe_syms() enables a fprobe by symbol names. +E.g. + +.. code-block:: c + + char syms[] = {"func1", "func2", "func3"}; + + register_fprobe_syms(&fp, syms, ARRAY_SIZE(syms)); + +To disable (remove from functions) this fprobe, call:: + + unregister_fprobe(&fp); + +You can temporally (soft) disable the fprobe by:: + + disable_fprobe(&fp); + +and resume by:: + + enable_fprobe(&fp); + +The above is defined by including the header:: + + #include + +Same as ftrace, the registered callbacks will start being called some time +after the register_fprobe() is called and before it returns. See +:file:`Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst`. + +Also, the unregister_fprobe() will guarantee that the both enter and exit +handlers are no longer being called by functions after unregister_fprobe() +returns as same as unregister_ftrace_function(). + +The fprobe entry/exit handler +============================= + +The prototype of the entry/exit callback function is as follows: + +.. code-block:: c + + void callback_func(struct fprobe *fp, unsigned long entry_ip, struct pt_regs *regs); + +Note that both entry and exit callbacks have same ptototype. The @entry_ip is +saved at function entry and passed to exit handler. + +@fp + This is the address of `fprobe` data structure related to this handler. + You can embed the `fprobe` to your data structure and get it by + container_of() macro from @fp. The @fp must not be NULL. + +@entry_ip + This is the ftrace address of the traced function (both entry and exit). + Note that this may not be the actual entry address of the function but + the address where the ftrace is instrumented. + +@regs + This is the `pt_regs` data structure at the entry and exit. Note that + the instruction pointer of @regs may be different from the @entry_ip + in the entry_handler. If you need traced instruction pointer, you need + to use @entry_ip. On the other hand, in the exit_handler, the instruction + pointer of @regs is set to the currect return address. + +Share the callbacks with kprobes +================================ + +Since the recursion safeness of the fprobe (and ftrace) is a bit different +from the kprobes, this may cause an issue if user wants to run the same +code from the fprobe and the kprobes. + +Kprobes has per-cpu 'current_kprobe' variable which protects the kprobe +handler from recursion in all cases. On the other hand, fprobe uses +only ftrace_test_recursion_trylock(). This allows interrupt context to +call another (or same) fprobe while the fprobe user handler is running. + +This is not a matter if the common callback code has its own recursion +detection, or it can handle the recursion in the different contexts +(normal/interrupt/NMI.) +But if it relies on the 'current_kprobe' recursion lock, it has to check +kprobe_running() and use kprobe_busy_*() APIs. + +Fprobe has FPROBE_FL_KPROBE_SHARED flag to do this. If your common callback +code will be shared with kprobes, please set FPROBE_FL_KPROBE_SHARED +*before* registering the fprobe, like: + +.. code-block:: c + + fprobe.flags = FPROBE_FL_KPROBE_SHARED; + + register_fprobe(&fprobe, "func*", NULL); + +This will protect your common callback from the nested call. + +The missed counter +================== + +The `fprobe` data structure has `fprobe::nmissed` counter field as same as +kprobes. +This counter counts up when; + + - fprobe fails to take ftrace_recursion lock. This usually means that a function + which is traced by other ftrace users is called from the entry_handler. + + - fprobe fails to setup the function exit because of the shortage of rethook + (the shadow stack for hooking the function return.) + +The `fprobe::nmissed` field counts up in both cases. Therefore, the former +skips both of entry and exit callback and the latter skips the exit +callback, but in both case the counter will increase by 1. + +Note that if you set the FTRACE_OPS_FL_RECURSION and/or FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU to +`fprobe::ops::flags` (ftrace_ops::flags) when registering the fprobe, this +counter may not work correctly, because ftrace skips the fprobe function which +increase the counter. + + +Functions and structures +======================== + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/fprobe.h +.. kernel-doc:: kernel/trace/fprobe.c + -- cgit v1.2.3
