Add BPF_XDP_DEVMAP attach type for use with programs associated with a
DEVMAP entry.
Allow DEVMAPs to associate a program with a device entry by adding
a bpf_prog.fd to 'struct bpf_devmap_val'. Values read show the program
id, so the fd and id are a union. bpf programs can get access to the
struct via vmlinux.h.
The program associated with the fd must have type XDP with expected
attach type BPF_XDP_DEVMAP. When a program is associated with a device
index, the program is run on an XDP_REDIRECT and before the buffer is
added to the per-cpu queue. At this point rxq data is still valid; the
next patch adds tx device information allowing the prorgam to see both
ingress and egress device indices.
XDP generic is skb based and XDP programs do not work with skb's. Block
the use case by walking maps used by a program that is to be attached
via xdpgeneric and fail if any of them are DEVMAP / DEVMAP_HASH with
Block attach of BPF_XDP_DEVMAP programs to devices.

In bpf_seq_printf() helper, when user specified a "%s" in the
format string, strncpy_from_unsafe() is used to read the actual string
to a buffer. The string could be a format string or a string in
the kernel data structure. It is really unlikely that the string
will reside in the user memory.
This is different from Commit b2a5212fb6 ("bpf: Restrict bpf_trace_printk()'s %s
usage and add %pks, %pus specifier") which still used
strncpy_from_unsafe() for "%s" to preserve the old behavior.
If in the future, bpf_seq_printf() indeed needs to read user
memory, we can implement "%pus" format string.
Based on discussion in [1], if the intent is to read kernel memory,
strncpy_from_unsafe_strict() should be used. So this patch
changed to use strncpy_from_unsafe_strict().

Add "rx_queue_mapping" to bpf_sock. This gives read access for the
existing field (sk_rx_queue_mapping) of struct sock from bpf_sock.
Semantics for the bpf_sock rx_queue_mapping access are similar to
sk_rx_queue_get(), i.e the value NO_QUEUE_MAPPING is not allowed
and -1 is returned in that case. This is useful for transmit queue
selection based on the received queue index which is cached in the
socket in the receive path.

====================
Implement a new BPF ring buffer, as presented at BPF virtual conference ([0]).
It presents an alternative to perf buffer, following its semantics closely,
but allowing sharing same instance of ring buffer across multiple CPUs
efficiently.
Most patches have extensive commentary explaining various aspects, so I'll
keep cover letter short. Overall structure of the patch set:
- patch #1 adds BPF ring buffer implementation to kernel and necessary
verifier support;
- patch #2 adds libbpf consumer implementation for BPF ringbuf;
- patch #3 adds selftest, both for single BPF ring buf use case, as well as
using it with array/hash of maps;
- patch #4 adds extensive benchmarks and provide some analysis in commit
message, it builds upon selftests/bpf's bench runner.
- patch #5 adds most of patch #1 commit message as a doc under
Documentation/bpf/ringbuf.rst.
Litmus tests, validating consumer/producer protocols and memory orderings,
were moved out as discussed in [1] and are going to be posted against -rcu
tree and put under Documentation/litmus-tests/bpf-rb.

Extend bench framework with ability to have benchmark-provided child argument
parser for custom benchmark-specific parameters. This makes bench generic code
modular and independent from any specific benchmark.
Also implement a set of benchmarks for new BPF ring buffer and existing perf
buffer. 4 benchmarks were implemented: 2 variations for each of BPF ringbuf
and perfbuf:,
- rb-libbpf utilizes stock libbpf ring_buffer manager for reading data;
- rb-custom implements custom ring buffer setup and reading code, to
eliminate overheads inherent in generic libbpf code due to callback
functions and the need to update consumer position after each consumed
record, instead of batching updates (due to pessimistic assumption that
user callback might take long time and thus could unnecessarily hold ring
buffer space for too long);
- pb-libbpf uses stock libbpf perf_buffer code with all the default
settings, though uses higher-performance raw event callback to minimize
unnecessary overhead;
- pb-custom implements its own custom consumer code to minimize any possible
overhead of generic libbpf implementation and indirect function calls.
All of the test support default, no data notification skipped, mode, as well
as sampled mode (with --rb-sampled flag), which allows to trigger epoll
notification less frequently and reduce overhead. As will be shown, this mode
is especially critical for perf buffer, which suffers from high overhead of
wakeups in kernel.
Otherwise, all benchamrks implement similar way to generate a batch of records
by using fentry/sys_getpgid BPF program, which pushes a bunch of records in
a tight loop and records number of successful and dropped samples. Each record
is a small 8-byte integer, to minimize the effect of memory copying with
bpf_perf_event_output() and bpf_ringbuf_output().
Benchmarks that have only one producer implement optional back-to-back mode,
in which record production and consumption is alternating on the same CPU.
This is the highest-throughput happy case, showing ultimate performance
achievable with either BPF ringbuf or perfbuf.
All the below scenarios are implemented in a script in
benchs/run_bench_ringbufs.sh. Tests were performed on 28-core/56-thread
Intel Xeon CPU E5-2680 v4 @ 2.40GHz CPU.
Single-producer, parallel producer
==================================
rb-libbpf 12.054 ± 0.320M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-custom 8.158 ± 0.118M/s (drops 0.001 ± 0.003M/s)
pb-libbpf 0.931 ± 0.007M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-custom 0.965 ± 0.003M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
Single-producer, parallel producer, sampled notification
========================================================
rb-libbpf 11.563 ± 0.067M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-custom 15.895 ± 0.076M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-libbpf 9.889 ± 0.032M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-custom 9.866 ± 0.028M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
Single producer on one CPU, consumer on another one, both running at full
speed. Curiously, rb-libbpf has higher throughput than objectively faster (due
to more lightweight consumer code path) rb-custom. It appears that faster
consumer causes kernel to send notifications more frequently, because consumer
appears to be caught up more frequently. Performance of perfbuf suffers from
default "no sampling" policy and huge overhead that causes.
In sampled mode, rb-custom is winning very significantly eliminating too
frequent in-kernel wakeups, the gain appears to be more than 2x.
Perf buffer achieves even more impressive wins, compared to stock perfbuf
settings, with 10x improvements in throughput with 1:500 sampling rate. The
trade-off is that with sampling, application might not get next X events until
X+1st arrives, which is not always acceptable. With steady influx of events,
though, this shouldn't be a problem.
Overall, single-producer performance of ring buffers seems to be better no
matter the sampled/non-sampled modes, but it especially beats ring buffer
without sampling due to its adaptive notification approach.
Single-producer, back-to-back mode
==================================
rb-libbpf 15.507 ± 0.247M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-libbpf-sampled 14.692 ± 0.195M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-custom 21.449 ± 0.157M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-custom-sampled 20.024 ± 0.386M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-libbpf 1.601 ± 0.015M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-libbpf-sampled 8.545 ± 0.064M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-custom 1.607 ± 0.022M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-custom-sampled 8.988 ± 0.144M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
Here we test a back-to-back mode, which is arguably best-case scenario both
for BPF ringbuf and perfbuf, because there is no contention and for ringbuf
also no excessive notification, because consumer appears to be behind after
the first record. For ringbuf, custom consumer code clearly wins with 21.5 vs
16 million records per second exchanged between producer and consumer. Sampled
mode actually hurts a bit due to slightly slower producer logic (it needs to
fetch amount of data available to decide whether to skip or force notification).
Perfbuf with wakeup sampling gets 5.5x throughput increase, compared to
no-sampling version. There also doesn't seem to be noticeable overhead from
generic libbpf handling code.
Perfbuf back-to-back, effect of sample rate
===========================================
pb-sampled-1 1.035 ± 0.012M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-5 3.476 ± 0.087M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-10 5.094 ± 0.136M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-25 7.118 ± 0.153M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-50 8.169 ± 0.156M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-100 8.887 ± 0.136M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-250 9.180 ± 0.209M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-500 9.353 ± 0.281M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-1000 9.411 ± 0.217M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-2000 9.464 ± 0.167M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-sampled-3000 9.575 ± 0.273M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
This benchmark shows the effect of event sampling for perfbuf. Back-to-back
mode for highest throughput. Just doing every 5th record notification gives
3.5x speed up. 250-500 appears to be the point of diminishing return, with
almost 9x speed up. Most benchmarks use 500 as the default sampling for pb-raw
and pb-custom.
Ringbuf back-to-back, effect of sample rate
===========================================
rb-sampled-1 1.106 ± 0.010M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-5 4.746 ± 0.149M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-10 7.706 ± 0.164M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-25 12.893 ± 0.273M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-50 15.961 ± 0.361M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-100 18.203 ± 0.445M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-250 19.962 ± 0.786M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-500 20.881 ± 0.551M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-1000 21.317 ± 0.532M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-2000 21.331 ± 0.535M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-sampled-3000 21.688 ± 0.392M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
Similar benchmark for ring buffer also shows a great advantage (in terms of
throughput) of skipping notifications. Skipping every 5th one gives 4x boost.
Also similar to perfbuf case, 250-500 seems to be the point of diminishing
returns, giving roughly 20x better results.
Keep in mind, for this test, notifications are controlled manually with
BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP and BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP. As can be seen from previous
benchmarks, adaptive notifications based on consumer's positions provides same
(or even slightly better due to simpler load generator on BPF side) benefits in
favorable back-to-back scenario. Over zealous and fast consumer, which is
almost always caught up, will make thoughput numbers smaller. That's the case
when manual notification control might prove to be extremely beneficial.
Ringbuf back-to-back, reserve+commit vs output
==============================================
reserve 22.819 ± 0.503M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
output 18.906 ± 0.433M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
Ringbuf sampled, reserve+commit vs output
=========================================
reserve-sampled 15.350 ± 0.132M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
output-sampled 14.195 ± 0.144M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
BPF ringbuf supports two sets of APIs with various usability and performance
tradeoffs: bpf_ringbuf_reserve()+bpf_ringbuf_commit() vs bpf_ringbuf_output().
This benchmark clearly shows superiority of reserve+commit approach, despite
using a small 8-byte record size.
Single-producer, consumer/producer competing on the same CPU, low batch count
=============================================================================
rb-libbpf 3.045 ± 0.020M/s (drops 3.536 ± 0.148M/s)
rb-custom 3.055 ± 0.022M/s (drops 3.893 ± 0.066M/s)
pb-libbpf 1.393 ± 0.024M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
pb-custom 1.407 ± 0.016M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
This benchmark shows one of the worst-case scenarios, in which producer and
consumer do not coordinate *and* fight for the same CPU. No batch count and
sampling settings were able to eliminate drops for ringbuffer, producer is
just too fast for consumer to keep up. But ringbuf and perfbuf still able to
pass through quite a lot of messages, which is more than enough for a lot of
applications.
Ringbuf, multi-producer contention
==================================
rb-libbpf nr_prod 1 10.916 ± 0.399M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)
rb-libbpf nr_prod 2 4.931 ± 0.030M/s (drops 0.000 ± 0.000M/s)

Ringbuf uses a very short-duration spinlock during reservation phase, to check
few invariants, increment producer count and set record header. This is the
biggest point of contention for ringbuf implementation. This benchmark
evaluates the effect of multiple competing writers on overall throughput of
a single shared ringbuffer.
Overall throughput drops almost 2x when going from single to two
highly-contended producers, gradually dropping with additional competing
producers. Performance drop stabilizes at around 20 producers and hovers
around 2mln even with 50+ fighting producers, which is a 5x drop compared to
non-contended case. Good kernel implementation in kernel helps maintain decent
performance here.
Note, that in the intended real-world scenarios, it's not expected to get even
close to such a high levels of contention. But if contention will become
a problem, there is always an option of sharding few ring buffers across a set
of CPUs.

Declaring and instantiating BPF ring buffer doesn't require any changes to
libbpf, as it's just another type of maps. So using existing BTF-defined maps
syntax with __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF) and __uint(max_elements,
<size-of-ring-buf>) is all that's necessary to create and use BPF ring buffer.
This patch adds BPF ring buffer consumer to libbpf. It is very similar to
perf_buffer implementation in terms of API, but also attempts to fix some
minor problems and inconveniences with existing perf_buffer API.
ring_buffer support both single ring buffer use case (with just using
ring_buffer__new()), as well as allows to add more ring buffers, each with its
own callback and context. This allows to efficiently poll and consume
multiple, potentially completely independent, ring buffers, using single
epoll instance.
The latter is actually a problem in practice for applications
that are using multiple sets of perf buffers. They have to create multiple
instances for struct perf_buffer and poll them independently or in a loop,
each approach having its own problems (e.g., inability to use a common poll
timeout). struct ring_buffer eliminates this problem by aggregating many
independent ring buffer instances under the single "ring buffer manager".
Second, perf_buffer's callback can't return error, so applications that need
to stop polling due to error in data or data signalling the end, have to use
extra mechanisms to signal that polling has to stop. ring_buffer's callback
can return error, which will be passed through back to user code and can be
acted upon appropariately.
Two APIs allow to consume ring buffer data:
- ring_buffer__poll(), which will wait for data availability notification
and will consume data only from reported ring buffer(s); this API allows
to efficiently use resources by reading data only when it becomes
available;
- ring_buffer__consume(), will attempt to read new records regardless of

This commit adds a new MPSC ring buffer implementation into BPF ecosystem,
which allows multiple CPUs to submit data to a single shared ring buffer. On
the consumption side, only single consumer is assumed.
Motivation
----------
There are two distinctive motivators for this work, which are not satisfied by
existing perf buffer, which prompted creation of a new ring buffer
implementation.
- more efficient memory utilization by sharing ring buffer across CPUs;
- preserving ordering of events that happen sequentially in time, even
across multiple CPUs (e.g., fork/exec/exit events for a task).
These two problems are independent, but perf buffer fails to satisfy both.
Both are a result of a choice to have per-CPU perf ring buffer. Both can be
also solved by having an MPSC implementation of ring buffer. The ordering
problem could technically be solved for perf buffer with some in-kernel
counting, but given the first one requires an MPSC buffer, the same solution
would solve the second problem automatically.
Semantics and APIs
------------------
Single ring buffer is presented to BPF programs as an instance of BPF map of
type BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF. Two other alternatives considered, but ultimately
rejected.
One way would be to, similar to BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY, make
BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF could represent an array of ring buffers, but not enforce
"same CPU only" rule. This would be more familiar interface compatible with
existing perf buffer use in BPF, but would fail if application needed more
advanced logic to lookup ring buffer by arbitrary key. HASH_OF_MAPS addresses
this with current approach. Additionally, given the performance of BPF
ringbuf, many use cases would just opt into a simple single ring buffer shared
among all CPUs, for which current approach would be an overkill.
Another approach could introduce a new concept, alongside BPF map, to
represent generic "container" object, which doesn't necessarily have key/value
interface with lookup/update/delete operations. This approach would add a lot
of extra infrastructure that has to be built for observability and verifier
support. It would also add another concept that BPF developers would have to
familiarize themselves with, new syntax in libbpf, etc. But then would really
provide no additional benefits over the approach of using a map.
BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF doesn't support lookup/update/delete operations, but so
doesn't few other map types (e.g., queue and stack; array doesn't support
delete, etc).
The approach chosen has an advantage of re-using existing BPF map
infrastructure (introspection APIs in kernel, libbpf support, etc), being
familiar concept (no need to teach users a new type of object in BPF program),
and utilizing existing tooling (bpftool). For common scenario of using
a single ring buffer for all CPUs, it's as simple and straightforward, as
would be with a dedicated "container" object. On the other hand, by being
a map, it can be combined with ARRAY_OF_MAPS and HASH_OF_MAPS map-in-maps to
implement a wide variety of topologies, from one ring buffer for each CPU
(e.g., as a replacement for perf buffer use cases), to a complicated
application hashing/sharding of ring buffers (e.g., having a small pool of
ring buffers with hashed task's tgid being a look up key to preserve order,
but reduce contention).
Key and value sizes are enforced to be zero. max_entries is used to specify
the size of ring buffer and has to be a power of 2 value.
There are a bunch of similarities between perf buffer
(BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY) and new BPF ring buffer semantics:
- variable-length records;
- if there is no more space left in ring buffer, reservation fails, no
blocking;
- memory-mappable data area for user-space applications for ease of
consumption and high performance;
- epoll notifications for new incoming data;
- but still the ability to do busy polling for new data to achieve the
lowest latency, if necessary.
BPF ringbuf provides two sets of APIs to BPF programs:
- bpf_ringbuf_output() allows to *copy* data from one place to a ring
buffer, similarly to bpf_perf_event_output();
- bpf_ringbuf_reserve()/bpf_ringbuf_commit()/bpf_ringbuf_discard() APIs
split the whole process into two steps. First, a fixed amount of space is
reserved. If successful, a pointer to a data inside ring buffer data area
is returned, which BPF programs can use similarly to a data inside
array/hash maps. Once ready, this piece of memory is either committed or
discarded. Discard is similar to commit, but makes consumer ignore the
record.
bpf_ringbuf_output() has disadvantage of incurring extra memory copy, because
record has to be prepared in some other place first. But it allows to submit
records of the length that's not known to verifier beforehand. It also closely
matches bpf_perf_event_output(), so will simplify migration significantly.
bpf_ringbuf_reserve() avoids the extra copy of memory by providing a memory
pointer directly to ring buffer memory. In a lot of cases records are larger
than BPF stack space allows, so many programs have use extra per-CPU array as
a temporary heap for preparing sample. bpf_ringbuf_reserve() avoid this needs
completely. But in exchange, it only allows a known constant size of memory to
be reserved, such that verifier can verify that BPF program can't access
memory outside its reserved record space. bpf_ringbuf_output(), while slightly
slower due to extra memory copy, covers some use cases that are not suitable
for bpf_ringbuf_reserve().
The difference between commit and discard is very small. Discard just marks
a record as discarded, and such records are supposed to be ignored by consumer
code. Discard is useful for some advanced use-cases, such as ensuring
all-or-nothing multi-record submission, or emulating temporary malloc()/free()
within single BPF program invocation.
Each reserved record is tracked by verifier through existing
reference-tracking logic, similar to socket ref-tracking. It is thus
impossible to reserve a record, but forget to submit (or discard) it.
bpf_ringbuf_query() helper allows to query various properties of ring buffer.
Currently 4 are supported:
- BPF_RB_AVAIL_DATA returns amount of unconsumed data in ring buffer;
- BPF_RB_RING_SIZE returns the size of ring buffer;
- BPF_RB_CONS_POS/BPF_RB_PROD_POS returns current logical possition of
consumer/producer, respectively.
Returned values are momentarily snapshots of ring buffer state and could be
off by the time helper returns, so this should be used only for
debugging/reporting reasons or for implementing various heuristics, that take
into account highly-changeable nature of some of those characteristics.
One such heuristic might involve more fine-grained control over poll/epoll
notifications about new data availability in ring buffer. Together with
BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP/BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP flags for output/commit/discard helpers,
it allows BPF program a high degree of control and, e.g., more efficient
batched notifications. Default self-balancing strategy, though, should be
adequate for most applications and will work reliable and efficiently already.
Design and implementation
-------------------------
This reserve/commit schema allows a natural way for multiple producers, either
on different CPUs or even on the same CPU/in the same BPF program, to reserve
independent records and work with them without blocking other producers. This
means that if BPF program was interruped by another BPF program sharing the
same ring buffer, they will both get a record reserved (provided there is
enough space left) and can work with it and submit it independently. This
applies to NMI context as well, except that due to using a spinlock during
reservation, in NMI context, bpf_ringbuf_reserve() might fail to get a lock,
in which case reservation will fail even if ring buffer is not full.
The ring buffer itself internally is implemented as a power-of-2 sized
circular buffer, with two logical and ever-increasing counters (which might
wrap around on 32-bit architectures, that's not a problem):
- consumer counter shows up to which logical position consumer consumed the
data;
- producer counter denotes amount of data reserved by all producers.
Each time a record is reserved, producer that "owns" the record will
successfully advance producer counter. At that point, data is still not yet
ready to be consumed, though. Each record has 8 byte header, which contains
the length of reserved record, as well as two extra bits: busy bit to denote
that record is still being worked on, and discard bit, which might be set at
commit time if record is discarded. In the latter case, consumer is supposed
to skip the record and move on to the next one. Record header also encodes
record's relative offset from the beginning of ring buffer data area (in
pages). This allows bpf_ringbuf_commit()/bpf_ringbuf_discard() to accept only
the pointer to the record itself, without requiring also the pointer to ring
buffer itself. Ring buffer memory location will be restored from record
metadata header. This significantly simplifies verifier, as well as improving
API usability.
Producer counter increments are serialized under spinlock, so there is
a strict ordering between reservations. Commits, on the other hand, are
completely lockless and independent. All records become available to consumer
in the order of reservations, but only after all previous records where
already committed. It is thus possible for slow producers to temporarily hold
off submitted records, that were reserved later.
Reservation/commit/consumer protocol is verified by litmus tests in
Documentation/litmus-test/bpf-rb.
One interesting implementation bit, that significantly simplifies (and thus
speeds up as well) implementation of both producers and consumers is how data
area is mapped twice contiguously back-to-back in the virtual memory. This
allows to not take any special measures for samples that have to wrap around
at the end of the circular buffer data area, because the next page after the
last data page would be first data page again, and thus the sample will still
appear completely contiguous in virtual memory. See comment and a simple ASCII
diagram showing this visually in bpf_ringbuf_area_alloc().
Another feature that distinguishes BPF ringbuf from perf ring buffer is
a self-pacing notifications of new data being availability.
bpf_ringbuf_commit() implementation will send a notification of new record
being available after commit only if consumer has already caught up right up
to the record being committed. If not, consumer still has to catch up and thus
will see new data anyways without needing an extra poll notification.
Benchmarks (see tools/testing/selftests/bpf/benchs/bench_ringbuf.c) show that
this allows to achieve a very high throughput without having to resort to
tricks like "notify only every Nth sample", which are necessary with perf
buffer. For extreme cases, when BPF program wants more manual control of
notifications, commit/discard/output helpers accept BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP and
BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP flags, which give full control over notifications of data
availability, but require extra caution and diligence in using this API.
Comparison to alternatives
--------------------------
Before considering implementing BPF ring buffer from scratch existing
alternatives in kernel were evaluated, but didn't seem to meet the needs. They
largely fell into few categores:
- per-CPU buffers (perf, ftrace, etc), which don't satisfy two motivations
outlined above (ordering and memory consumption);
- linked list-based implementations; while some were multi-producer designs,
consuming these from user-space would be very complicated and most
probably not performant; memory-mapping contiguous piece of memory is
simpler and more performant for user-space consumers;
- io_uring is SPSC, but also requires fixed-sized elements. Naively turning
SPSC queue into MPSC w/ lock would have subpar performance compared to
locked reserve + lockless commit, as with BPF ring buffer. Fixed sized
elements would be too limiting for BPF programs, given existing BPF
programs heavily rely on variable-sized perf buffer already;
- specialized implementations (like a new printk ring buffer, [0]) with lots
of printk-specific limitations and implications, that didn't seem to fit
well for intended use with BPF programs.

The test itself is not particularly useful but it encodes a common
pattern we have.
Namely do a sk storage lookup then depending on data here decide if
we need to do more work or alternatively allow packet to PASS. Then
if we need to do more work consult task_struct for more information
about the running task. Finally based on this additional information
drop or pass the data. In this case the suspicious check is not so
realisitic but it encodes the general pattern and uses the helpers
so we test the workflow.
This is a load test to ensure verifier correctly handles this case.

Often it is useful when applying policy to know something about the
task. If the administrator has CAP_SYS_ADMIN rights then they can
use kprobe + networking hook and link the two programs together to
accomplish this. However, this is a bit clunky and also means we have
to call both the network program and kprobe program when we could just
use a single program and avoid passing metadata through sk_msg/skb->cb,
socket, maps, etc.
To accomplish this add probe_* helpers to bpf_base_func_proto programs
guarded by a perfmon_capable() check. New supported helpers are the
following,
BPF_FUNC_get_current_task
BPF_FUNC_probe_read_user

Following the introduction of CAP_BPF, and the switch from CAP_SYS_ADMIN
to other capabilities for various BPF features, update the capability
checks (and potentially, drops) in bpftool for feature probes. Because
bpftool and/or the system might not know of CAP_BPF yet, some caution is
necessary:
- If compiled and run on a system with CAP_BPF, check CAP_BPF,
CAP_SYS_ADMIN, CAP_PERFMON, CAP_NET_ADMIN.
- Guard against CAP_BPF being undefined, to allow compiling bpftool from
latest sources on older systems. If the system where feature probes
are run does not know of CAP_BPF, stop checking after CAP_SYS_ADMIN,
as this should be the only capability required for all the BPF
probing.
- If compiled from latest sources on a system without CAP_BPF, but later
executed on a newer system with CAP_BPF knowledge, then we only test
CAP_SYS_ADMIN. Some probes may fail if the bpftool process has
CAP_SYS_ADMIN but misses the other capabilities. The alternative would
be to redefine the value for CAP_BPF in bpftool, but this does not
look clean, and the case sounds relatively rare anyway.
Note that libcap offers a cap_to_name() function to retrieve the name of
a given capability (e.g. "cap_sys_admin"). We do not use it because
deriving the names from the macros looks simpler than using
cap_to_name() (doing a strdup() on the string) + cap_free() + handling
the case of failed allocations, when we just want to use the name of the
capability in an error message.
The checks when compiling without libcap (i.e. root versus non-root) are
unchanged.
v2:
- Do not allocate cap_list dynamically.
- Drop BPF-related capabilities when running with "unprivileged", even
if we didn't have the full set in the first place (in v1, we would
skip dropping them in that case).
- Keep track of what capabilities we have, print the names of the
missing ones for privileged probing.
- Attempt to drop only the capabilities we actually have.
- Rename a couple variables.

This patch set adds support for Priority Flow Control in DPAA2 Ethernet

The second patch adds a static distribution to said traffic

Also, add support for the congestion group taildrop mechanism that

Leave congestion group taildrop enabled for all traffic classes
when PFC is enabled. Notification threshold is low enough such
that it will be hit first and this also ensures that FQs on
traffic classes which are not PFC enabled won't drain the buffer
pool.
FQ taildrop threshold is kept disabled as long as any form of
flow control is on. Since FQ taildrop works with bytes, not number
of frames, we can't guarantee it will not interfere with the
congestion notification mechanism for all frame sizes.

Add support in dpaa2-eth for PFC (Priority Flow Control)
through the DCB ops.
Instruct the hardware to respond to received PFC frames.
Current firmware doesn't allow us to selectively enable PFC
on the Rx side for some priorities only, so we will react to
all incoming PFC frames (and stop transmitting on the traffic
classes specified in the frame).
Also, configure the hardware to generate PFC frames based on Rx
congestion notifications. When a certain number of frames accumulate in
the ingress queues corresponding to a traffic class, priority flow
control frames are generated for that TC.
The number of PFC traffic classes available can be queried through
lldptool. Also, which of those traffic classes have PFC enabled is also
controlled through the same dcbnl_rtnl_ops callbacks.

Now that we have congestion group taildrop configured at all
times, we can afford to increase the frame queue taildrop
threshold; this will ensure a better response when receiving
bursts of large-sized frames.
Also decouple the buffer pool count from the Rx FQ taildrop
threshold, as above change would increase it too much. Instead,
keep the old count as a hardcoded value.
With the new limits, we try to ensure that:
* we allow enough leeway for large frame bursts (by buffering
enough of them in queues to avoid heavy dropping in case of
bursty traffic, but when overall ingress bandwidth is manageable)
* allow pending frames to be evenly spread between ingress FQs,
regardless of frame size
* avoid dropping frames due to the buffer pool being empty; this
is not a bad behaviour per se, but system overall response is
more linear and predictable when frames are dropped at frame
queue/group level.

The increase in number of ingress frame queues means we now risk
depleting the buffer pool before the FQ taildrop kicks in.
Congestion group taildrop allows us to control the number of frames that
can accumulate on a group of Rx frame queues belonging to the same
traffic class. This setting coexists with the frame queue based
taildrop: whichever limit gets hit first triggers the frame drop.

Configure static ingress classification based on VLAN PCP field.
If the DPNI doesn't have enough traffic classes to accommodate all
priority levels, the lowest ones end up on TC 0 (default on miss).

The firmware reserves for each DPNI a number of RX frame queues
equal to the number of configured flows x number of configured
traffic classes.
Current driver configuration directs all incoming traffic to
FQs corresponding to TC0, leaving all other priority levels unused.
Start adding support for multiple ingress traffic classes, by
configuring the FQs associated with all priority levels, not just
TC0. All settings that are per-TC, such as those related to
hashing and flow steering, are also updated.

Just make them static for now.

Tun in IFF_NAPI_FRAGS mode calls napi_gro_frags. Unlike netif_rx and
netif_gro_receive, this expects skb->data to point to the mac layer.
But skb_probe_transport_header, __skb_get_hash_symmetric, and
xdp_do_generic in tun_get_user need skb->data to point to the network
header. Flow dissection also needs skb->protocol set, so
eth_type_trans has to be called.
Ensure the link layer header lies in linear as eth_type_trans pulls
ETH_HLEN. Then take the same code paths for frags as for not frags.
Push the link layer header back just before calling napi_gro_frags.
By pulling up to ETH_HLEN from frag0 into linear, this disables the
frag0 optimization in the special case when IFF_NAPI_FRAGS is used
with zero length iov[0] (and thus empty skb->linear).

Compiling with W=1 gives the following warning:
net/sched/cls_flower.c:731:1: warning: ‘mpls_opts_policy’ defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
The TCA_FLOWER_KEY_MPLS_OPTS contains a list of
TCA_FLOWER_KEY_MPLS_OPTS_LSE. Therefore, the attributes all have the
same type and we can't parse the list with nla_parse*() and have the
attributes validated automatically using an nla_policy.
fl_set_key_mpls_opts() properly verifies that all attributes in the
list are TCA_FLOWER_KEY_MPLS_OPTS_LSE. Then fl_set_key_mpls_lse()
uses nla_parse_nested() on all these attributes, thus verifying that
they have the NLA_F_NESTED flag. So we can safely drop the
mpls_opts_policy.

====================
bridge: mrp: Add support for MRA role
This patch series extends the MRP with the MRA role.
A node that has the MRA role can behave as a MRM or as a MRC. In case there are
multiple nodes in the topology that has the MRA role then only one node can
behave as MRM and all the others need to be have as MRC. The node that has the
higher priority(lower value) will behave as MRM.
A node that has the MRA role and behaves as MRC, it just needs to forward the
MRP_Test frames between the ring ports but also it needs to detect in case it
stops receiving MRP_Test frames. In that case it would try to behave as MRM.
v2:
- add new patch that fixes sparse warnings
- fix parsing of prio attribute

A node that has the MRA role, it can behave as MRM or MRC.
Initially it starts as MRM and sends MRP_Test frames on both ring ports.
If it detects that there are MRP_Test send by another MRM, then it
checks if these frames have a lower priority than itself. In this case
it would send MRP_Nack frames to notify the other node that it needs to
stop sending MRP_Test frames.
If it receives a MRP_Nack frame then it stops sending MRP_Test frames
and starts to behave as a MRC but it would continue to monitor the
MRP_Test frames send by MRM. If at a point the MRM stops to send
MRP_Test frames it would get the MRM role and start to send MRP_Test
frames.

Each MRP instance has a priority, a lower value means a higher priority.
The priority of MRP instance is stored in MRP_Test frame in this way
all the MRP nodes in the ring can see other nodes priority.
