<id>urn:sha1:600340ed717c019f4118cd8d2d6fd22100b836ff</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 8871331b1769978ecece205a430338a2581e5050 ]

The config option being built was
| CONFIG_ARC_MMU_V4=y
| CONFIG_ARC_PAGE_SIZE_4K=y
| CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
| CONFIG_ARC_HAS_PAE40=y

This was hitting a BUILD_BUG_ON() since a 4K page can't hoist 1k, 8-byte
PTE entries (8 byte due to PAE40). BUILD_BUG_ON() is a good last ditch
resort, but such a config needs to be disallowed explicitly in Kconfig.

Side-note: the actual fix is single liner dependency, but while at it
cleaned out a few things:
 - 4K dependency on MMU v3 or v4 is always true, since 288ff7de62af09
   ("ARC: retire MMUv1 and MMUv2 support")
 - PAE40 dependency in on MMU ver not really ISA, although that follows
   eventually.

pull-request: bpf-next 2024-05-13

We've added 119 non-merge commits during the last 14 day(s) which contain
a total of 134 files changed, 9462 insertions(+), 4742 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Add BPF JIT support for 32-bit ARCv2 processors, from Shahab Vahedi.

2) Add BPF range computation improvements to the verifier in particular
   around XOR and OR operators, refactoring of checks for range computation
   and relaxing MUL range computation so that src_reg can also be an unknown
   scalar, from Cupertino Miranda.

3) Add support to attach kprobe BPF programs through kprobe_multi link in
   a session mode, meaning, a BPF program is attached to both function entry
   and return, the entry program can decide if the return program gets
   executed and the entry program can share u64 cookie value with return
   program. Session mode is a common use-case for tetragon and bpftrace,
   from Jiri Olsa.

4) Fix a potential overflow in libbpf's ring__consume_n() and improve libbpf
   as well as BPF selftest's struct_ops handling, from Andrii Nakryiko.

5) Improvements to BPF selftests in context of BPF gcc backend,
   from Jose E. Marchesi &amp; David Faust.

6) Migrate remaining BPF selftest tests from test_sock_addr.c to prog_test-
   -style in order to retire the old test, run it in BPF CI and additionally
   expand test coverage, from Jordan Rife.

7) Big batch for BPF selftest refactoring in order to remove duplicate code
   around common network helpers, from Geliang Tang.

8) Another batch of improvements to BPF selftests to retire obsolete
   bpf_tcp_helpers.h as everything is available vmlinux.h,
   from Martin KaFai Lau.

9) Fix BPF map tear-down to not walk the map twice on free when both timer
   and wq is used, from Benjamin Tissoires.

10) Fix BPF verifier assumptions about socket-&gt;sk that it can be non-NULL,
    from Alexei Starovoitov.

11) Change BTF build scripts to using --btf_features for pahole v1.26+,
    from Alan Maguire.

12) Small improvements to BPF reusing struct_size() and krealloc_array(),
    from Andy Shevchenko.

13) Fix s390 JIT to emit a barrier for BPF_FETCH instructions,
    from Ilya Leoshkevich.

14) Extend TCP -&gt;cong_control() callback in order to feed in ack and
    flag parameters and allow write-access to tp-&gt;snd_cwnd_stamp
    from BPF program, from Miao Xu.

15) Add support for internal-only per-CPU instructions to inline
    bpf_get_smp_processor_id() helper call for arm64 and riscv64 BPF JITs,
    from Puranjay Mohan.

16) Follow-up to remove the redundant ethtool.h from tooling infrastructure,
    from Tushar Vyavahare.

17) Extend libbpf to support "module:&lt;function&gt;" syntax for tracing
    programs, from Viktor Malik.

<title>ARC: Add eBPF JIT support</title>
<updated>2024-05-12T23:51:36+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Shahab Vahedi</name>
<email>shahab@synopsys.com</email>
</author>
<published>2024-04-30T14:56:04+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=f122668ddcce450c2585f0be4bf4478d6fd6176b'/>
<id>urn:sha1:f122668ddcce450c2585f0be4bf4478d6fd6176b</id>
<content type='text'>
This will add eBPF JIT support to the 32-bit ARCv2 processors. The
implementation is qualified by running the BPF tests on a Synopsys HSDK
board with "ARC HS38 v2.1c at 500 MHz" as the 4-core CPU.

The test_bpf.ko reports 2-10 fold improvements in execution time of its
tests. For instance:

test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:0 704 1766 2104 PASS
test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:1 120  224  260 PASS

test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:0 238 PASS
test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:1  23 PASS

test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:0 2034681 PASS
test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:1 1020022 PASS

Deployment and structure
------------------------
The related codes are added to "arch/arc/net":

- bpf_jit.h       -- The interface that a back-end translator must provide
- bpf_jit_core.c  -- Knows how to handle the input eBPF byte stream
- bpf_jit_arcv2.c -- The back-end code that knows the translation logic

The bpf_int_jit_compile() at the end of bpf_jit_core.c is the entrance
to the whole process. Normally, the translation is done in one pass,
namely the "normal pass". In case some relocations are not known during
this pass, some data (arc_jit_data) is allocated for the next pass to
come. This possible next (and last) pass is called the "extra pass".

1. Normal pass       # The necessary pass
     1a. Dry run       # Get the whole JIT length, epilogue offset, etc.
     1b. Emit phase    # Allocate memory and start emitting instructions
2. Extra pass        # Only needed if there are relocations to be fixed
     2a. Patch relocations

Support status
--------------
The JIT compiler supports BPF instructions up to "cpu=v4". However, it
does not yet provide support for:

- Tail calls
- Atomic operations
- 64-bit division/remainder
- BPF_PROBE_MEM* (exception table)

The result of "test_bpf" test suite on an HSDK board is:

hsdk-lnx# insmod test_bpf.ko test_suite=test_bpf

  test_bpf: Summary: 863 PASSED, 186 FAILED, [851/851 JIT'ed]

All the failing test cases are due to the ones that were not JIT'ed.
Categorically, they can be represented as:

  .-----------.------------.-------------.
  | test type |   opcodes  | # of cases  |
  |-----------+------------+-------------|
  | atomic    | 0xC3, 0xDB |         149 |
  | div64     | 0x37, 0x3F |          22 |
  | mod64     | 0x97, 0x9F |          15 |
  `-----------^------------+-------------|
                           | (total) 186 |
                           `-------------'

Setup: build config
-------------------
The following configs must be set to have a working JIT test:

  CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y
  CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON=y
  CONFIG_TEST_BPF=m

The following options are not necessary for the tests module,
but are good to have:

  CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y             # prerequisite for below
  CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y         # so bpftool can generate vmlinux.h

  CONFIG_FTRACE=y                 #
  CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y            # all these options lead to
  CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=y          # having CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS=y
  CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y            #

Some BPF programs provide data through /sys/kernel/debug:
  CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y
arc# mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug

Setup: elfutils
---------------
The libdw.{so,a} library that is used by pahole for processing
the final binary must come from elfutils 0.189 or newer. The
support for ARCv2 [1] has been added since that version.

[1]
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=elfutils.git;a=commit;h=de3d46b3e7

Setup: pahole
-------------
The line below in linux/scripts/Makefile.btf must be commented out:

pahole-flags-$(call test-ge, $(pahole-ver), 121) += --btf_gen_floats

Or else, the build will fail:

$ make V=1
  ...
  BTF     .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
pahole -J --btf_gen_floats                    \
       -j --lang_exclude=rust                 \
       --skip_encoding_btf_inconsistent_proto \
       --btf_gen_optimized .tmp_vmlinux.btf
Complex, interval and imaginary float types are not supported
Encountered error while encoding BTF.
  ...
  BTFIDS  vmlinux
./tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids vmlinux
libbpf: failed to find '.BTF' ELF section in vmlinux
FAILED: load BTF from vmlinux: No data available

This is due to the fact that the ARC toolchains generate
"complex float" DIE entries in libgcc and at the moment, pahole
can't handle such entries.

Running the tests
-----------------
host$ scp /bld/linux/lib/test_bpf.ko arc:
arc # sysctl net.core.bpf_jit_enable=1
arc # insmod test_bpf.ko test_suite=test_bpf
      ...
      test_bpf: #1048 Staggered jumps: JMP32_JSLE_X jited:1 697811 PASS
      test_bpf: Summary: 863 PASSED, 186 FAILED, [851/851 JIT'ed]

Acknowledgments

- Claudiu Zissulescu for his unwavering support
- Yuriy Kolerov for testing and troubleshooting
- Vladimir Isaev for the pahole workaround
- Sergey Matyukevich for paving the road by adding the interpreter support

Manual/partial revert of 8690bbcf3b70 ("Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() across all architectures")

Current generation of ARCv2/ARCv3 based HSxx cores are only PIPT (to software
at least).

Legacy ARC700 cpus could be VIPT aliasing (based on cache geometry and
PAGE_SIZE) [1] however recently that support was ripped out so VIPT aliasing
cache is not relevant to ARC anymore.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
   from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
   "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".

 - More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series

	"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
	"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"

 - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
   significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
   reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
   scalability of zswap rb-tree".

 - Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
   lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
   swap-intensive situations.

 - And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
   optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.

 - zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
   "mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".

 - In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
   contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
   control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
   hotplugged as system memory.

 - Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
   which does that.

 - More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series

	"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
	"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
	"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
	"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"

 - In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
   extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
   policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
   rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
   environments appearing with CXL.

 - Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
   against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
   Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".

 - Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
   series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".

 - Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
   human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
   format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
   tools to parse and process out selftesting results.

 - Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
   series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
   targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
   process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.

 - David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
   series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
   implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
   situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.

 - And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
   Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
   mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
   series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.

 - In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
   fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
   faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.

 - In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
   test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.

 - Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
   refactoring".

 - Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
   zswap kselftests" does as claimed.

 - In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
   regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
   in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
   data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.

 - Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
   dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
   certain userfaultfd operations.

 - Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
   in his series

	"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
	"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"

 - Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
   improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
   realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.

 - Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
   crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".

 - Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series

	"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
	"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"

 - Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
   order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
   of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable &gt;0 order folio
   memory compaction".

 - Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
   pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
   to an iterator".

 - Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
   "Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".

 - Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
   into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
   series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".

 - David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
   total_mapcount()", a cleanup.

 - Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
   freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".

 - Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
   provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
   are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.

 - Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.

 - Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
   also. S390 is affected.

 - Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
   "mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".

 - Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
   series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
   Selftests".

 - Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
   the individual changelogs for details.

arc, arm64, parisc and powerpc all have their own Kconfig symbols
in place of the common CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_4KB symbols. Change these
so the common symbols are the ones that are actually used, while
leaving the arhcitecture specific ones as the user visible
place for configuring it, to avoid breaking user configs.

<title>Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() across all architectures</title>

Introduce a generic way to query whether the data cache is virtually
aliased on all architectures. Its purpose is to ensure that subsystems
which are incompatible with virtually aliased data caches (e.g. FS_DAX)
can reliably query this.

For data cache aliasing, there are three scenarios dependending on the
architecture. Here is a breakdown based on my understanding:

A) The data cache is always aliasing:

* arc
* csky
* m68k (note: shared memory mappings are incoherent ? SHMLBA is missing there.)
* sh
* parisc

B) The data cache aliasing is statically known or depends on querying CPU
   state at runtime:

* arm (cache_is_vivt() || cache_is_vipt_aliasing())
* mips (cpu_has_dc_aliases)
* nios2 (NIOS2_DCACHE_SIZE &gt; PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc32 (vac_cache_size &gt; PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc64 (L1DCACHE_SIZE &gt; PAGE_SIZE)
* xtensa (DCACHE_WAY_SIZE &gt; PAGE_SIZE)

C) The data cache is never aliasing:

* alpha
* arm64 (aarch64)
* hexagon
* loongarch (but with incoherent write buffers, which are disabled since
             commit d23b7795 ("LoongArch: Change SHMLBA from SZ_64K to PAGE_SIZE"))
* microblaze
* openrisc
* powerpc
* riscv
* s390
* um
* x86

Require architectures in A) and B) to select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING and
implement "cpu_dcache_is_aliasing()".

Architectures in C) don't select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING, and thus
cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() simply evaluates to "false".

Note that this leaves "cpu_icache_is_aliasing()" to be implemented as future
work. This would be useful to gate features like XIP on architectures
which have aliasing CPU dcache-icache but not CPU dcache-dcache.

Use "cpu_dcache" and "cpu_cache" rather than just "dcache" and "cache"
to clarify that we really mean "CPU data cache" and "CPU cache" to
eliminate any possible confusion with VFS "dentry cache" and "page
cache".
