2024-09-10bpftool: Fix undefined behavior in qsort(NULL, 0, ...)Kuan-Wei Chiu1-0/+3
When netfilter has no entry to display, qsort is called with qsort(NULL, 0, ...). This results in undefined behavior, as UBSan reports: net.c:827:2: runtime error: null pointer passed as argument 1, which is declared to never be null Although the C standard does not explicitly state whether calling qsort with a NULL pointer when the size is 0 constitutes undefined behavior, Section 7.1.4 of the C standard (Use of library functions) mentions: "Each of the following statements applies unless explicitly stated otherwise in the detailed descriptions that follow: If an argument to a function has an invalid value (such as a value outside the domain of the function, or a pointer outside the address space of the program, or a null pointer, or a pointer to non-modifiable storage when the corresponding parameter is not const-qualified) or a type (after promotion) not expected by a function with variable number of arguments, the behavior is undefined." To avoid this, add an early return when nf_link_info is NULL to prevent calling qsort with a NULL pointer.

2024-09-10bpftool: Fix undefined behavior caused by shifting into the sign bitKuan-Wei Chiu1-4/+4
Replace shifts of '1' with '1U' in bitwise operations within __show_dev_tc_bpf() to prevent undefined behavior caused by shifting into the sign bit of a signed integer. By using '1U', the operations are explicitly performed on unsigned integers, avoiding potential integer overflow or sign-related issues.

2024-09-07bpftool: Improve btf c dump sorting stabilityMykyta Yatsenko1-5/+75
Existing algorithm for BTF C dump sorting uses only types and names of the structs and unions for ordering. As dump contains structs with the same names but different contents, relative to each other ordering of those structs will be accidental. This patch addresses this problem by introducing a new sorting field that contains hash of the struct/union field names and types to disambiguate comparison of the non-unique named structs.

2024-07-10bpftool: improve skeleton backwards compat with old buggy libbpfsAndrii Nakryiko1-14/+32
Old versions of libbpf don't handle varying sizes of bpf_map_skeleton struct correctly. As such, BPF skeleton generated by newest bpftool might not be compatible with older libbpf (though only when libbpf is used as a shared library), even though it, by design, should. Going forward libbpf will be fixed, plus we'll release bug fixed versions of relevant old libbpfs, but meanwhile try to mitigate from bpftool side by conservatively assuming older and smaller definition of bpf_map_skeleton, if possible. Meaning, if there are no struct_ops maps. If there are struct_ops, then presumably user would like to have auto-attaching logic and struct_ops map link placeholders, so use the full bpf_map_skeleton definition in that case.

2024-06-21bpftool: Allow compile-time checks of BPF map auto-attach support in skeletonAndrii Nakryiko1-0/+2
New versions of bpftool now emit additional link placeholders for BPF maps (struct_ops maps are the only maps right now that support attachment), and set up BPF skeleton in such a way that libbpf will auto-attach BPF maps automatically, assumming libbpf is recent enough (v1.5+). Old libbpf will do nothing with those links and won't attempt to auto-attach maps. This allows user code to handle both pre-v1.5 and v1.5+ versions of libbpf at runtime, if necessary. But if users don't have (or don't want to) control bpftool version that generates skeleton, then they can't just assume that skeleton will have link placeholders. To make this detection possible and easy, let's add the following to generated skeleton header file: #define BPF_SKEL_SUPPORTS_MAP_AUTO_ATTACH 1 This can be used during compilation time to guard code that accesses skel->links.<map> slots. Note, if auto-attachment is undesirable, libbpf allows to disable this through bpf_map__set_autoattach(map, false). This is necessary only on libbpf v1.5+, older libbpf doesn't support map auto-attach anyways. Libbpf version can be detected at compilation time using LIBBPF_MAJOR_VERSION and LIBBPF_MINOR_VERSION macros, or at runtime with libbpf_major_version() and libbpf_minor_version() APIs.

err is a 32-bit integer, but elf_update returns an off_t, which is 64-bit at least on 64-bit platforms. If symbols_patch is called on a binary between 2-4GB in size, the result will be negative when cast to a 32-bit integer, which the code assumes means an error occurred.

2024-05-21bpftool: Un-const bpf_func_info to fix it for llvm 17 and newerIvan Babrou1-1/+1
LLVM 17 started treating const structs as constants: * https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/0b2d5b967d98 Combined with pointer laundering via ptr_to_u64, which takes a const ptr, but in reality treats the underlying memory as mutable, this makes clang always pass zero to btf__type_by_id, which breaks full name resolution. Disassembly before (LLVM 16) and after (LLVM 17): - 8b 75 cc mov -0x34(%rbp),%esi - e8 47 8d 02 00 call 3f5b0 <btf__type_by_id> + 31 f6 xor %esi,%esi + e8 a9 8c 02 00 call 3f510 <btf__type_by_id> It's a bigger project to fix this properly (and a question whether LLVM itself should detect this), but for right now let's just fix bpftool.

2024-05-18bpftool: Introduce btf c dump sortingMykyta Yatsenko3-7/+140
Sort bpftool c dump output; aiming to simplify vmlinux.h diffing and forcing more natural type definitions ordering. Definitions are sorted first by their BTF kind ranks, then by their base type name and by their own name. Type ranks Assign ranks to btf kinds (defined in function btf_type_rank) to set next order: 1. Anonymous enums/enums64 2. Named enums/enums64 3. Trivial types typedefs (ints, then floats) 4. Structs/Unions 5. Function prototypes 6. Forward declarations Type rank is set to maximum for unnamed reference types, structs and unions to avoid emitting those types early. They will be emitted as part of the type chain starting with named type. Lexicographical ordering Each type is assigned a sort_name and own_name. sort_name is the resolved name of the final base type for reference types (typedef, pointer, array etc). Sorting by sort_name allows to group typedefs of the same base type. sort_name for non-reference type is the same as own_name. own_name is a direct name of particular type, is used as final sorting step.

When pinning programs/objects under PATH (eg: during "bpftool prog loadall") the bpffs is mounted on the parent dir of PATH in the following situations: - the given dir exists but it is not bpffs. - the given dir doesn't exist and the parent dir is not bpffs. Mounting on the parent dir can also have the unintentional side- effect of hiding other files located under the parent dir. If the given dir exists but is not bpffs, then the bpffs should be mounted on the given dir and not its parent dir. Similarly, if the given dir doesn't exist and its parent dir is not bpffs, then the given dir should be created and the bpffs should be mounted on this new dir.

The rST manual pages for bpftool would use a mix of tabs and spaces for indentation. While this is the norm in C code, this is rather unusual for rST documents, and over time we've seen many contributors use a wrong level of indentation for documentation update. Let's fix bpftool's indentation in docs once and for all: - Let's use spaces, that are more common in rST files. - Remove one level of indentation for the synopsis, the command description, and the "see also" section. As a result, all sections start with the same indentation level in the generated man page. - Rewrap the paragraphs after the changes. There is no content change in this patch, only indentation and rewrapping changes. The wrapping in the generated source files for the manual pages is changed, but the pages displayed with "man" remain the same, apart from the adjusted indentation level on relevant sections.

2024-03-21bpftool: Clean up HOST_CFLAGS, HOST_LDFLAGS for bootstrap bpftoolQuentin Monnet1-4/+5
Bpftool's Makefile uses $(HOST_CFLAGS) to build the bootstrap version of bpftool, in order to pick the flags for the host (where we run the bootstrap version) and not for the target system (where we plan to run the full bpftool binary). But we pass too much information through this variable. In particular, we set HOST_CFLAGS by copying most of the $(CFLAGS); but we do this after the feature detection for bpftool, which means that $(CFLAGS), hence $(HOST_CFLAGS), contain all macro definitions for using the different optional features. For example, -DHAVE_LLVM_SUPPORT may be passed to the $(HOST_CFLAGS), even though the LLVM disassembler is not used in the bootstrap version, and the related library may even be missing for the host architecture. A similar thing happens with the $(LDFLAGS), that we use unchanged for linking the bootstrap version even though they may contains flags to link against additional libraries. To address the $(HOST_CFLAGS) issue, we move the definition of $(HOST_CFLAGS) earlier in the Makefile, before the $(CFLAGS) update resulting from the feature probing - none of which being relevant to the bootstrap version. To clean up the $(LDFLAGS) for the bootstrap version, we introduce a dedicated $(HOST_LDFLAGS) variable that we base on $(LDFLAGS), before the feature probing as well. On my setup, the following macro and libraries are removed from the compiler invocation to build bpftool after this patch: -DUSE_LIBCAP -DHAVE_LLVM_SUPPORT -I/usr/lib/llvm-17/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS -D__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS -D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS -lLLVM-17 -L/usr/lib/llvm-17/lib Another advantage of cleaning up these flags is that displaying available features with "bpftool version" becomes more accurate for the bootstrap bpftool, and no longer reflects the features detected (and available only) for the final binary.

When trying to load the pid_iter BPF program used to iterate over the PIDs of the processes holding file descriptors to BPF links, we would unconditionally silence libbpf in order to keep the output clean if the kernel does not support iterators and loading fails. Although this is the desirable behaviour in most cases, this may hide bugs in the pid_iter program that prevent it from loading, and it makes it hard to debug such load failures, even in "debug" mode. Instead, it makes more sense to print libbpf's logs when we pass the -d|--debug flag to bpftool, so that users get the logs to investigate failures without having to edit bpftool's source code.

2024-03-12libbpf: Recognize __arena global variables.Andrii Nakryiko1-0/+13
LLVM automatically places __arena variables into ".arena.1" ELF section. In order to use such global variables bpf program must include definition of arena map in ".maps" section, like: struct { __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARENA); __uint(map_flags, BPF_F_MMAPABLE); __uint(max_entries, 1000); /* number of pages */ __ulong(map_extra, 2ull << 44); /* start of mmap() region */ } arena SEC(".maps"); libbpf recognizes both uses of arena and creates single `struct bpf_map *` instance in libbpf APIs. ".arena.1" ELF section data is used as initial data image, which is exposed through skeleton and bpf_map__initial_value() to the user, if they need to tune it before the load phase. During load phase, this initial image is copied over into mmap()'ed region corresponding to arena, and discarded. Few small checks here and there had to be added to make sure this approach works with bpf_map__initial_value(), mostly due to hard-coded assumption that map->mmaped is set up with mmap() syscall and should be munmap()'ed. For arena, .arena.1 can be (much) smaller than maximum arena size, so this smaller data size has to be tracked separately. Given it is enforced that there is only one arena for entire bpf_object instance, we just keep it in a separate field. This can be generalized if necessary later. All global variables from ".arena.1" section are accessible from user space via skel->arena->name_of_var. For bss/data/rodata the skeleton/libbpf perform the following sequence: 1. addr = mmap(MAP_ANONYMOUS) 2. user space optionally modifies global vars 3. map_fd = bpf_create_map() 4. bpf_update_map_elem(map_fd, addr) // to store values into the kernel 5. mmap(addr, MAP_FIXED, map_fd) after step 5 user spaces see the values it wrote at step 2 at the same addresses arena doesn't support update_map_elem. Hence skeleton/libbpf do: 1. addr = malloc(sizeof SEC ".arena.1") 2. user space optionally modifies global vars 3. map_fd = bpf_create_map(MAP_TYPE_ARENA) 4. real_addr = mmap(map->map_extra, MAP_SHARED | MAP_FIXED, map_fd) 5. memcpy(real_addr, addr) // this will fault-in and allocate pages At the end look and feel of global data vs __arena global data is the same from bpf prog pov. Another complication is: struct { __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARENA); } arena SEC(".maps"); int __arena foo; int bar; ptr1 = &foo; // relocation against ".arena.1" section ptr2 = &arena; // relocation against ".maps" section ptr3 = &bar; // relocation against ".bss" section Fo the kernel ptr1 and ptr2 has point to the same arena's map_fd while ptr3 points to a different global array's map_fd. For the verifier: ptr1->type == unknown_scalar ptr2->type == const_ptr_to_map ptr3->type == ptr_to_map_value After verification, from JIT pov all 3 ptr-s are normal ld_imm64 insns.
