This series introduces user defined BPF objects of a type in program BTF. This allows BPF programs to allocate their own objects, build their own object hierarchies, and use the basic building blocks provided by BPF runtime to build their own data structures flexibly. Then, we introduce the support for single ownership BPF linked lists, which can be put inside BPF maps, or allocated objects, and hold such allocated objects as elements. It works as an instrusive collection, which is done to allow making allocated objects part of multiple data structures at the same time in the future. The eventual goal of this and future patches is to allow one to do some limited form of kernel style programming in BPF C, and allow programmers to build their own complex data structures flexibly out of basic building blocks. The key difference will be that such programs are verified to be safe, preserve runtime integrity of the system, and are proven to be bug free as far as the invariants of BPF specific APIs are concerned. One immediate use case that will be using the entire infrastructure this series is introducing will be managing percpu NMI safe linked lists inside BPF programs. The other use case this will serve in the near future will be linking kernel structures like XDP frame and sk_buff directly into user data structures (rbtree, pifomap, etc.) for packet queueing. This will follow single ownership concept included in this series. The user has complete control of the internal locking, and hence also the batching of operations for each critical section. The features are: - Allocated objects. - bpf_obj_new, bpf_obj_drop to allocate and free them. - Single ownership BPF linked lists. - Support for them in BPF maps. - Support for them in allocated objects. - Global spin locks. - Spin locks inside allocated objects. Some other notable things: - Completely static verification of locking. - Kfunc argument handling has been completely reworked. - Argument rewriting support for kfuncs. - A new bpf_experimental.h header as a dumping ground for these APIs. Any functionality exposed in this series is NOT part of UAPI. It is only available through use of kfuncs, and structs that can be added to map value may also change their size or name in the future. Hence, every feature in this series must be considered experimental. Follow-ups: ----------- * Support for kptrs (local and kernel) in local storage and percpu maps + kptr tests * Fixes for helper access checks rebasing on top of this series Next steps: ----------- * NMI safe percpu single ownership linked lists (using local_t protection). * Lockless linked lists. * Allow RCU protected BPF allocated objects. This then allows RCU protected list lookups, since spinlock protection for readers does not scale. * Introduce bpf_refcount for local kptrs, shared ownership. * Introduce shared ownership linked lists. * Documentation.
