selftests/bpf: Remove obsolete pahole/BTF support detection

selftests/bpf: Enforce libbpf build before BPF programs are built
Given BPF programs rely on libbpf's bpf_helper_defs.h, which is

we attempt progs/*.c build. Enforce it as order-only dependency.
====================
This series contains mainly fixes/improvements for cross-compilation
but not only, tested for arm, arm64, and intended for any arch.
Also verified on native build (not cross compilation) for x86_64
and arm, arm64.
Besides the patches given here, the RFC also contains couple patches
related to llvm clang
arm: include: asm: swab: mask rev16 instruction for clang
arm: include: asm: unified: mask .syntax unified for clang
They are necessarily to verify arm 32 build.
Also, couple more fixes were added but are not merged in bpf-next yet,
they can be needed for verification/configuration steps, if not in
your tree the fixes can be taken here:

https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg601714.html
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-kbuild/msg23468.html
Now, to build samples, SAMPLE_BPF should be enabled in config.
The change touches not only cross-compilation and can have impact on
other archs and build environments, so might be good idea to verify
it in order to add appropriate changes, some warn options could be
tuned also.
All is tested on x86-64 with clang installed (has to be built containing
targets for arm, arm64..., see llc --version, usually it's present already)

libbpf: Generate more efficient BPF_CORE_READ code

there are intermediate pointers to be read, initial source pointer is
going to be assigned into a temporary variable and then temporary

intermediate pointer reads. Schematically (ignoring all the type casts),
BPF_CORE_READ(s, a, b, c) is expanded into:
({
const void *__t = src;

Andrii Nakryiko says:
====================
This patch set makes bpf_helpers.h and bpf_endian.h a part of libbpf itself
for consumption by user BPF programs, not just selftests. It also splits off
tracing helpers into bpf_tracing.h, which also becomes part of libbpf. Some of
the legacy stuff (BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR, load_{byte,half,word}, bpf_map_def
with unsupported fields, etc, is extracted into selftests-only bpf_legacy.h.
All the selftests and samples are switched to use libbpf's headers and
selftests' ones are removed.
As part of this patch set we also add BPF_CORE_READ variadic macros, that are
simplifying BPF CO-RE reads, especially the ones that have to follow few
pointers. E.g., what in non-BPF world (and when using BCC) would be:
int x = s->a->b.c->d; /* s, a, and b.c are pointers */
Today would have to be written using explicit bpf_probe_read() calls as:
void *t;
int x;
bpf_probe_read(&t, sizeof(t), s->a);
bpf_probe_read(&t, sizeof(t), ((struct b *)t)->b.c);
bpf_probe_read(&x, sizeof(x), ((struct c *)t)->d);
This is super inconvenient and distracts from program logic a lot. Now, with
added BPF_CORE_READ() macros, you can write the above as:
int x = BPF_CORE_READ(s, a, b.c, d);
Up to 9 levels of pointer chasing are supported, which should be enough for
any practical purpose, hopefully, without adding too much boilerplate macro
definitions (though there is admittedly some, given how variadic and recursive
C macro have to be implemented).
There is also BPF_CORE_READ_INTO() variant, which relies on caller to allocate
space for result:
int x;
BPF_CORE_READ_INTO(&x, s, a, b.c, d);
Result of last bpf_probe_read() call in the chain of calls is the result of
BPF_CORE_READ_INTO(). If any intermediate bpf_probe_read() aall fails, then
all the subsequent ones will fail too, so this is sufficient to know whether
overall "operation" succeeded or not. No short-circuiting of bpf_probe_read()s
is done, though.
BPF_CORE_READ_STR_INTO() is added as well, which differs from
BPF_CORE_READ_INTO() only in that last bpf_probe_read() call (to read final
field after chasing pointers) is replaced with bpf_probe_read_str(). Result of
bpf_probe_read_str() is returned as a result of BPF_CORE_READ_STR_INTO() macro
itself, so that applications can track return code and/or length of read
string.
Patch set outline:
- patch #1 undoes previously added GCC-specific bpf-helpers.h include;
- patch #2 splits off legacy stuff we don't want to carry over;
- patch #3 adjusts CO-RE reloc tests to avoid subsequent naming conflict with
BPF_CORE_READ;

- load_{byte|half|word};
- remove extra inner_idx and numa_node fields from bpf_map_def and
introduce bpf_map_def_legacy for use in samples;
- move BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR into bpf_legacy.h.
Adjust samples and selftests accordingly by either including
bpf_legacy.h and using bpf_map_def_legacy, or switching to BTF-defined
maps altogether.

samples: bpf: Add max_pckt_size option at xdp_adjust_tail
Currently, at xdp_adjust_tail_kern.c, MAX_PCKT_SIZE is limited
to 600. To make this size flexible, static global variable
'max_pcktsz' is added.
By updating new packet size from the user space, xdp_adjust_tail_kern.o
will use this value as a new max packet size.
This static global variable can be accesible from .data section with
bpf_object__find_map* from user space, since it is considered as
internal map (accessible with .bss/.data/.rodata suffix).
If no '-P <MAX_PCKT_SIZE>' option is used, the size of maximum packet
will be 600 as a default.
For clarity, change the helper to fetch map from 'bpf_map__next'
to 'bpf_object__find_map_fd_by_name'. Also, changed the way to
test prog_fd, map_fd from '!= 0' to '< 0', since fd could be 0
when stdin is closed.
====================
While having a per-net-ns flow dissector programs is convenient for
testing, security-wise it's better to have only one vetted global
flow dissector implementation.
Let's have a convention that when BPF flow dissector is installed
in the root namespace, child namespaces can't override it.
The intended use-case is to attach global BPF flow dissector
early from the init scripts/systemd. Attaching global dissector
is prohibited if some non-root namespace already has flow dissector
attached. Also, attaching to non-root namespace is prohibited
when there is flow dissector attached to the root namespace.
v3:
* drop extra check and empty line (Andrii Nakryiko)
v2:
* EPERM -> EEXIST (Song Liu)
* Make sure we don't have dissector attached to non-root namespaces
when attaching the global one (Andrii Nakryiko)

selftests/bpf: Fix dependency ordering for attach_probe test
Current Makefile dependency chain is not strict enough and allows
test_attach_probe.o to be built before test_progs's
prog_test/attach_probe.o is built, which leads to assembler complaining
about missing included binary.
This patch is a minimal fix to fix this issue by enforcing that
test_attach_probe.o (BPF object file) is built before
prog_tests/attach_probe.c is attempted to be compiled.
====================
This patch set adds ability to auto-generate list of BPF helper definitions.
It relies on existing scripts/bpf_helpers_doc.py and include/uapi/linux/bpf.h
having a well-defined set of comments. bpf_helper_defs.h contains all BPF
helper signatures which stay in sync with latest bpf.h UAPI. This
auto-generated header is included from bpf_helpers.h, while all previously
hand-written BPF helper definitions are simultaneously removed in patch #3.
The end result is less manually maintained and redundant boilerplate code,
while also more consistent and well-documented set of BPF helpers. Generated
helper definitions are completely independent from a specific bpf.h on
a target system, because it doesn't use BPF_FUNC_xxx enums.
v3->v4:
- instead of libbpf's Makefile, integrate with selftest/bpf's Makefile (Alexei);
Using cscope and/or TAGS files for navigating the source code is useful.
Add simple targets to the Makefile to generate the index files for both
tools.
====================
Add bpf_object__open_file() and bpf_object__open_mem() APIs that use a new
approach to providing future-proof non-ABI-breaking API changes. It relies on
APIs accepting optional self-describing "opts" struct, containing its own
size, filled out and provided by potentially outdated (as well as
newer-than-libbpf) user application. A set of internal helper macros
(OPTS_VALID, OPTS_HAS, and OPTS_GET) streamline and simplify a graceful
handling forward and backward compatibility for user applications dynamically
linked against different versions of libbpf shared library.
Users of libbpf are provided with convenience macro LIBBPF_OPTS that takes
care of populating correct structure size and zero-initializes options struct,
which helps avoid obscure issues of unitialized padding. Uninitialized padding
in a struct might turn into garbage-populated new fields understood by future
versions of libbpf.
Patch #1 removes enforcement of kern_version in libbpf and always populates
correct one on behalf of users.
Patch #2 defines necessary infrastructure for options and two new open APIs
relying on it.
Patch #3 fixes bug in bpf_object__name().
Patch #4 switches two of test_progs' tests to use new APIs as a validation
that they work as expected.
v2->v3:
- fix LIBBPF_OPTS() to ensure zero-initialization of padded bytes;
- pass through name override and relaxed maps flag for open_file() (Toke);
- fix bpf_object__name() to actually return object name;
- don't bother parsing and verifying version section (John);
v1->v2:
- use better approach for tracking last field in opts struct;
- convert few tests to new APIs for validation;
- fix bug with using offsetof(last_field) instead of offsetofend(last_field).

This patch demonstrates an approach to implementing libbpf APIs that
makes it easy to extend existing APIs with extra optional parameters in
such a way, that ABI compatibility is preserved without having to do
symbol versioning and generating lots of boilerplate code to handle it.
To facilitate succinct code for working with options, add OPTS_VALID,
OPTS_HAS, and OPTS_GET macros that hide all the NULL, size, and zero
checks.
Additionally, newly added libbpf APIs are encouraged to follow similar
pattern of having all mandatory parameters as formal function parameters
and always have optional (NULL-able) xxx_opts struct, which should
always have real struct size as a first field and the rest would be
optional parameters added over time, which tune the behavior of existing
API, if specified by user.

Since then, BPF programs were specifying SEC("version") just to please
libbpf. We should stop enforcing this in libbpf, if even kernel doesn't
care. Furthermore, libbpf now will pre-populate current kernel version
of the host system, in case we are still running on old kernel.
This patch also removes __bpf_object__open_xattr from libbpf.h, as
nothing in libbpf is relying on having it in that header. That function
was never exported as LIBBPF_API and even name suggests its internal

Merge branch 'netdev-altnames'
Jiri Pirko says:
====================
net: introduce alternative names for network interfaces
In the past, there was repeatedly discussed the IFNAMSIZ (16) limit for
netdevice name length. Now when we have PF and VF representors
with port names like "pfXvfY", it became quite common to hit this limit: 0123456789012345
enp131s0f1npf0vf6
enp131s0f1npf0vf22
Udev cannot rename these interfaces out-of-the-box and user needs to
create custom rules to handle them.
Also, udev has multiple schemes of netdev names. From udev code:
* Type of names:
* b<number> - BCMA bus core number
* c<bus_id> - bus id of a grouped CCW or CCW device,
* with all leading zeros stripped [s390]
* o<index>[n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
* - on-board device index number
* s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
* - hotplug slot index number
* x<MAC> - MAC address
* [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
* - PCI geographical location
* [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][u<port>][..][c<config>][i<interface>]
* - USB port number chain
* v<slot> - VIO slot number (IBM PowerVM)
* a<vendor><model>i<instance> - Platform bus ACPI instance id
* i<addr>n<phys_port_name> - Netdevsim bus address and port name
One device can be often renamed by multiple patterns at the
same time (e.g. pci address/mac).
This patchset introduces alternative names for network interfaces.
Main goal is to:
1) Overcome the IFNAMSIZ limitation (altname limitation is 128 bytes)
2) Allow to have multiple names at the same time (multiple udev patterns)
3) Allow to use alternative names as handle for commands
The patchset introduces two new commands to add/delete list of properties.
Currently only alternative names are implemented but the ifrastructure
could be easily extended later on. This is very similar to the list of vlan
and tunnels being added/deleted to/from bridge ports.

Merge branch 'hugepage-fallbacks' (hugepatch patches from David Rientjes)
Merge hugepage allocation updates from David Rientjes:
"We (mostly Linus, Andrea, and myself) have been discussing offlist how
to implement a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages on NUMA
platforms.
With these reverts in place, the page allocator will happily allocate
a remote hugepage immediately rather than try to make a local hugepage
available. This incurs a substantial performance degradation when
memory compaction would have otherwise made a local hugepage
available.
This series reverts those reverts and attempts to propose a more sane
default allocation strategy specifically for hugepages. Andrea
acknowledges this is likely to fix the swap storms that he originally
reported that resulted in the patches that removed __GFP_THISNODE from
hugepage allocations.
The immediate goal is to return 5.3 to the behavior the kernel has
implemented over the past several years so that remote hugepages are
not immediately allocated when local hugepages could have been made
available because the increased access latency is untenable.
The next goal is to introduce a sane default allocation strategy for
hugepages allocations in general regardless of the configuration of
the system so that we prevent thrashing of local memory when
compaction is unlikely to succeed and can prefer remote hugepages over
remote native pages when the local node is low on memory."
Note on timing: this reverts the hugepage VM behavior changes that got
introduced fairly late in the 5.3 cycle, and that fixed a huge
performance regression for certain loads that had been around since
4.18.
Andrea had this note:
"The regression of 4.18 was that it was taking hours to start a VM
where 3.10 was only taking a few seconds, I reported all the details
on lkml when it was finally tracked down in August 2018.
__GFP_THISNODE in MADV_HUGEPAGE made the above enterprise vfio
workload degrade like in the "current upstream" above. And it still
would have been that bad as above until 5.3-rc5"
where the bad behavior ends up happening as you fill up a local node,
and without that change, you'd get into the nasty swap storm behavior
due to compaction working overtime to make room for more memory on the
nodes.
As a result 5.3 got the two performance fix reverts in rc5.
However, David Rientjes then noted that those performance fixes in turn
regressed performance for other loads - although not quite to the same
degree. He suggested reverting the reverts and instead replacing them
with two small changes to how hugepage allocations are done (patch
descriptions rephrased by me):
- "avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed": just admit
that the allocation failed when you're trying to allocate a huge-page
and compaction wasn't successful.
- "allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised": when that
node-local huge-page allocation failed, retry without forcing the
local node.
but by then I judged it too late to replace the fixes for a 5.3 release.
So 5.3 was released with behavior that harked back to the pre-4.18 logic.
But now we're in the merge window for 5.4, and we can see if this
alternate model fixes not just the horrendous swap storm behavior, but
also restores the performance regression that the late reverts caused.
Fingers crossed.

mm, page_alloc: allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised
For systems configured to always try hard to allocate transparent
hugepages (thp defrag setting of "always") or for memory that has been
explicitly madvised to MADV_HUGEPAGE, it is often better to fallback to
remote memory to allocate the hugepage if the local allocation fails
first.
The point is to allow the initial call to __alloc_pages_node() to attempt
to defragment local memory to make a hugepage available, if possible,
rather than immediately fallback to remote memory. Local hugepages will
always have a better access latency than remote (huge)pages, so an attempt
to make a hugepage available locally is always preferred.
If memory compaction cannot be successful locally, however, it is likely
better to fallback to remote memory. This could take on two forms: either
allow immediate fallback to remote memory or do per-zone watermark checks.
It would be possible to fallback only when per-zone watermarks fail for
order-0 memory, since that would require local reclaim for all subsequent
faults so remote huge allocation is likely better than thrashing the local
zone for large workloads.
In this case, it is assumed that because the system is configured to try
hard to allocate hugepages or the vma is advised to explicitly want to try
hard for hugepages that remote allocation is better when local allocation
and memory compaction have both failed.

mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed
Memory compaction has a couple significant drawbacks as the allocation
order increases, specifically:
- isolate_freepages() is responsible for finding free pages to use as
migration targets and is implemented as a linear scan of memory
starting at the end of a zone,
- failing order-0 watermark checks in memory compaction does not account
for how far below the watermarks the zone actually is: to enable
migration, there must be *some* free memory available. Per the above,
watermarks are not always suffficient if isolate_freepages() cannot
find the free memory but it could require hundreds of MBs of reclaim to
even reach this threshold (read: potentially very expensive reclaim with
no indication compaction can be successful), and
- if compaction at this order has failed recently so that it does not even
run as a result of deferred compaction, looping through reclaim can often
be pointless.
For hugepage allocations, these are quite substantial drawbacks because
these are very high order allocations (order-9 on x86) and falling back to
doing reclaim can potentially be *very* expensive without any indication
that compaction would even be successful.
Reclaim itself is unlikely to free entire pageblocks and certainly no
reliance should be put on it to do so in isolation (recall lumpy reclaim).
This means we should avoid reclaim and simply fail hugepage allocation if
compaction is deferred.
It is also not helpful to thrash a zone by doing excessive reclaim if
compaction may not be able to access that memory. If order-0 watermarks
fail and the allocation order is sufficiently large, it is likely better
to fail the allocation rather than thrashing the zone.

Since commit af95e50adb9d ("Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage
allocations"") is reverted in this series, it is better to restore the
previous 5.2 behavior between the thp allocation and the page allocator
rather than to attempt any consolidation or cleanup for a policy that is
now reverted. It's less risky during an rc cycle and subsequent patches
in this series further modify the same policy that the pre-5.3 behavior
implements.
Consolidation and cleanup can be done subsequent to a sane default page
allocation strategy, so this patch reverts a cleanup done on a strategy
that is now reverted and thus is the least risky option.

The commit references the original intended semantic for MADV_HUGEPAGE
which has subsequently taken on three unique purposes:
- enables or disables thp for a range of memory depending on the system's
config (is thp "enabled" set to "always" or "madvise"),
- determines the synchronous compaction behavior for thp allocations at
fault (is thp "defrag" set to "always", "defer+madvise", or "madvise"),
and
- reverts a previous MADV_NOHUGEPAGE (there is no madvise mode to only
clear previous hugepage advice).
These are the three purposes that currently exist in 5.2 and over the
past several years that userspace has been written around. Adding a
NUMA locality preference adds a fourth dimension to an already conflated
advice mode.
Based on the semantic that MADV_HUGEPAGE has provided over the past
several years, there exist workloads that use the tunable based on these
principles: specifically that the allocation should attempt to
defragment a local node before falling back. It is agreed that remote
hugepages typically (but not always) have a better access latency than
remote native pages, although on Naples this is at parity for
intersocket.
The revert commit that this patch reverts allows hugepage allocation to
immediately allocate remotely when local memory is fragmented. This is
contrary to the semantic of MADV_HUGEPAGE over the past several years:
that is, memory compaction should be attempted locally before falling
back.
The performance degradation of remote hugepages over local hugepages on
Rome, for example, is 53.5% increased access latency. For this reason,
the goal is to revert back to the 5.2 and previous behavior that would
attempt local defragmentation before falling back. With the patch that
is reverted by this patch, we see performance degradations at the tail
because the allocator happily allocates the remote hugepage rather than
even attempting to make a local hugepage available.
zone_reclaim_mode is not a solution to this problem since it does not
only impact hugepage allocations but rather changes the memory
allocation strategy for *all* page allocations.

race with an mtpid (move to PID register, essentially MMU context
switch) on another thread of the core, which can cause stores to
continue to go to a page after it's unmapped.
- A fix in our KVM code to add a missing barrier, the lack of which
has been observed to cause missed IPIs and subsequently stuck CPUs
in the host.
- A change to the way we initialise PCR (Processor Compatibility
Register) to make it forward compatible with future CPUs.
- On some older PowerVM systems our H_BLOCK_REMOVE support could
oops, fix it to detect such systems and fallback to the old

Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris:
"This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from
Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others.
From the original description:
This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel.
When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted.
Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the
kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.
The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
to not requiring external patches.
There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:
- Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/
- Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.
The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
permitted.
The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:
lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}
Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.
This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
overriden by kernel configuration.
New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
include/linux/security.h for details.
The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.
Stephen Rothwell noted that commit 5d556d2cb2ee ("bpf: Restrict bpf
when kernel lockdown is in confidentiality mode") is missing a

Similarly, the initramfs may contain an appended signature.
This contained a lot of refactoring of the existing appended signature
verification code, so that IMA could retain the existing framework of
calculating the file hash once, storing it in the IMA measurement list
and extending the TPM, verifying the file's integrity based on a file
hash or signature (eg. xattrs), and adding an audit record containing
the file hash, all based on policy. (The IMA support for appended
signatures patch set was posted and reviewed 11 times.)
The support for appended signature paves the way for adding other
signature verification methods, such as fs-verity, based on a single
system-wide policy. The file hash used for verifying the signature and
the signature, itself, can be included in the IMA measurement list"
