[PATCH bpf-next v4 00/11] Support kernel module function calls from eBPF

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This set enables kernel module function calls, and also modifies verifier logic
to permit invalid kernel function calls as long as they are pruned as part of
dead code elimination. This is done to provide better runtime portability for
BPF objects, which can conditionally disable parts of code that are pruned later
by the verifier (e.g. const volatile vars, kconfig options). libbpf
modifications are made along with kernel changes to support module function
calls. The set includes gen_loader support for emitting kfunc relocations.

It also converts TCP congestion control objects to use the module kfunc support
instead of relying on IS_BUILTIN ifdef.

Changelog:
----------
v3 -> v4
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20210915050943.679062-1-memxor@xxxxxxxxx

 * Address comments from Alexei
   * Drop MAX_BPF_STACK change, instead move map_fd and BTF fd to BPF array map
     and pass fd_array using BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_IDX_VALUE
 * Address comments from Andrii
   * Fix selftest to store to variable for observing function call instead of
     printk and polluting CI logs
 * Drop use of raw_tp for testing, instead reuse classifier based prog_test_run
 * Drop index + 1 based insn->off convention for kfunc module calls
 * Expand selftests to cover more corner cases
 * Misc cleanups

v2 -> v3
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20210914123750.460750-1-memxor@xxxxxxxxx

 * Fix issues pointed out by Kernel Test Robot
 * Fix find_kfunc_desc to also take offset into consideration when comparing

RFC v1 -> v2
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20210830173424.1385796-1-memxor@xxxxxxxxx

 * Address comments from Alexei
   * Reuse fd_array instead of introducing kfunc_btf_fds array
   * Take btf and module reference as needed, instead of preloading
   * Add BTF_KIND_FUNC relocation support to gen_loader infrastructure
 * Address comments from Andrii
   * Drop hashmap in libbpf for finding index of existing BTF in fd_array
   * Preserve invalid kfunc calls only when the symbol is weak
 * Adjust verifier selftests
