Commit 24dea04767e6 ("bpf, x32: remove ld_abs/ld_ind")
removed the 4 /* Extra space for skb_copy_bits buffer */
from _STACK_SIZE, but it didn't fix the concerned code
in emit_prologue and emit_epilogue, and this error will
bring very strange kernel runtime errors. This patch
fixes it.

<title>treewide: kmalloc() -&gt; kmalloc_array()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6da2ec56059c3c7a7e5f729e6349e74ace1e5c57</id>
<content type='text'>
The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

<title>bpf, x86_32: add eBPF JIT compiler for ia32</title>
<updated>2018-05-03T16:15:25Z</updated>

<published>2018-05-03T06:10:43Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=03f5781be2c7b7e728d724ac70ba10799cc710d7'/>
<id>urn:sha1:03f5781be2c7b7e728d724ac70ba10799cc710d7</id>
<content type='text'>
The JIT compiler emits ia32 bit instructions. Currently, It supports eBPF
only. Classic BPF is supported because of the conversion by BPF core.

Almost all instructions from eBPF ISA supported except the following:
BPF_ALU64 | BPF_DIV | BPF_K
BPF_ALU64 | BPF_DIV | BPF_X
BPF_ALU64 | BPF_MOD | BPF_K
BPF_ALU64 | BPF_MOD | BPF_X
BPF_STX | BPF_XADD | BPF_W
BPF_STX | BPF_XADD | BPF_DW

It doesn't support BPF_JMP|BPF_CALL with BPF_PSEUDO_CALL at the moment.

IA32 has few general purpose registers, EAX|EDX|ECX|EBX|ESI|EDI. I use
EAX|EDX|ECX|EBX as temporary registers to simulate instructions in eBPF
ISA, and allocate ESI|EDI to BPF_REG_AX for constant blinding, all others
eBPF registers, R0-R10, are simulated through scratch space on stack.

The reasons behind the hardware registers allocation policy are:
1:MUL need EAX:EDX, shift operation need ECX, so they aren't fit
  for general eBPF 64bit register simulation.
2:We need at least 4 registers to simulate most eBPF ISA operations
  on registers operands instead of on register&amp;memory operands.
3:We need to put BPF_REG_AX on hardware registers, or constant blinding
  will degrade jit performance heavily.

Tested on PC (Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU).
Testing results on i5-5200U:
1) test_bpf: Summary: 349 PASSED, 0 FAILED, [319/341 JIT'ed]
2) test_progs: Summary: 83 PASSED, 0 FAILED.
3) test_lpm: OK
4) test_lru_map: OK
5) test_verifier: Summary: 828 PASSED, 0 FAILED.

Above tests are all done in following two conditions separately:
1:bpf_jit_enable=1 and bpf_jit_harden=0
2:bpf_jit_enable=1 and bpf_jit_harden=2

Below are some numbers for this jit implementation:
Note:
  I run test_progs in kselftest 100 times continuously for every condition,
  the numbers are in format: total/times=avg.
  The numbers that test_bpf reports show almost the same relation.

a:jit_enable=0 and jit_harden=0            b:jit_enable=1 and jit_harden=0
  test_pkt_access:PASS:ipv4:15622/100=156    test_pkt_access:PASS:ipv4:10674/100=106
  test_pkt_access:PASS:ipv6:9130/100=91      test_pkt_access:PASS:ipv6:4855/100=48
  test_xdp:PASS:ipv4:240198/100=2401         test_xdp:PASS:ipv4:138912/100=1389
  test_xdp:PASS:ipv6:137326/100=1373         test_xdp:PASS:ipv6:68542/100=685
  test_l4lb:PASS:ipv4:61100/100=611          test_l4lb:PASS:ipv4:37302/100=373
  test_l4lb:PASS:ipv6:101000/100=1010        test_l4lb:PASS:ipv6:55030/100=550

c:jit_enable=1 and jit_harden=2
  test_pkt_access:PASS:ipv4:10558/100=105
  test_pkt_access:PASS:ipv6:5092/100=50
  test_xdp:PASS:ipv4:131902/100=1319
  test_xdp:PASS:ipv6:77932/100=779
  test_l4lb:PASS:ipv4:38924/100=389
  test_l4lb:PASS:ipv6:57520/100=575

The numbers show we get 30%~50% improvement.

See Documentation/networking/filter.txt for more information.

   for dead code"), suggested by Daniel Borkmann.

 Changes v3-v4:
 1:Fix changelog in commit.
   I install llvm-6.0, then test_progs willn't report errors.
   I submit another patch:
   "bpf: fix misaligned access for BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type on x86_32 platform"
   to fix another problem, after that patch, test_verifier willn't report errors too.
 2:Fix clear r0[1] twice unnecessarily in *BPF_IND|BPF_ABS* simulation.

 Changes v2-v3:
 1:Move BPF_REG_AX to real hardware registers for performance reason.

<id>urn:sha1:39f56ca945af86112753646316c4c92dcd4acd82</id>
<content type='text'>
The JIT logic in jit_subprogs() is as follows: for all subprogs we
allocate a bpf_prog_alloc(), populate it (prog-&gt;is_func = 1 here),
and pass it to bpf_int_jit_compile(). If a failure occurred during
JIT and prog-&gt;jited is not set, then we bail out from attempting to
JIT the whole program, and punt to the interpreter instead. In case
JITing went successful, we fixup BPF call offsets and do another
pass to bpf_int_jit_compile() (extra_pass is true at that point) to
complete JITing calls. Given that requires to pass JIT context around
addrs and jit_data from x86 JIT are freed in the extra_pass in
bpf_int_jit_compile() when calls are involved (if not, they can
be freed immediately). However, if in the original pass, the JIT
image didn't converge then we leak addrs and jit_data since image
itself is NULL, the prog-&gt;is_func is set and extra_pass is false
in that case, meaning both will become unreachable and are never
cleaned up, therefore we need to free as well on !image. Only x64
JIT is affected.

While reviewing x64 JIT code, I noticed that we leak the prior allocated
JIT image in the case where proglen != oldproglen during the JIT passes.
Prior to the commit e0ee9c12157d ("x86: bpf_jit: fix two bugs in eBPF JIT
compiler") we would just break out of the loop, and using the image as the
JITed prog since it could only shrink in size anyway. After e0ee9c12157d,
we would bail out to out_addrs label where we free addrs and jit_data but
not the image coming from bpf_jit_binary_alloc().

<title>x86/bpf: Clean up non-standard comments, to make the code more readable</title>

So by chance I looked into x86 assembly in arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c and
noticed the weird and inconsistent comment style it mistakenly learned from
the networking code:

 /* Multi-line comment ...
  * ... looks like this.
  */

Fix this to use the standard comment style specified in Documentation/CodingStyle
and used in arch/x86/ as well:

 /*
  * Multi-line comment ...
  * ... looks like this.
  */

Also, to quote Linus's ... more explicit views about this:

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cryptoapi/21066

  &gt; But no, the networking code picked *none* of the above sane formats.
  &gt; Instead, it picked these two models that are just half-arsed
  &gt; shit-for-brains:
  &gt;
  &gt;  (no)
  &gt;      /* This is disgusting drug-induced
  &gt;        * crap, and should die
  &gt;        */
  &gt;
  &gt;   (no-no-no)
  &gt;       /* This is also very nasty
  &gt;        * and visually unbalanced */
  &gt;
  &gt; Please. The networking code actually has the *worst* possible comment
  &gt; style. You can literally find that (no-no-no) style, which is just
  &gt; really horribly disgusting and worse than the otherwise fairly similar
  &gt; (d) in pretty much every way.

Also improve the comments and some other details while at it:

 - Don't mix same-line and previous-line comment style on otherwise
   identical code patterns within the same function,

 - capitalize 'BPF' and x86 register names consistently,

 - capitalize sentences consistently,

 - instead of 'x64' use 'x86-64': x64 is a Microsoft specific term,

 - use more consistent punctuation,

 - use standard coding style in macros as well,

 - fix typos and a few other minor details.

Consistent coding style is not optional, at least in arch/x86/.

No change in functionality.

( In case this commit causes conflicts with pending development code
  I'll be glad to help resolve any conflicts! )

<title>bpf, x64: fix JIT emission for dead code</title>

Commit 2a5418a13fcf ("bpf: improve dead code sanitizing") replaced dead
code with a series of ja-1 instructions, for safety. That made JIT
compilation much more complex for some BPF programs. One instance of such
programs is, for example:

bool flag = false
...
/* A bunch of other code */
...
if (flag)
        do_something()

In some cases llvm is not able to remove at compile time the code for
do_something(), so the generated BPF program ends up with a large amount
of dead instructions. In one specific real life example, there are two
series of ~500 and ~1000 dead instructions in the program. When the
verifier replaces them with a series of ja-1 instructions, it causes an
interesting behavior at JIT time.

During the first pass, since all the instructions are estimated at 64
bytes, the ja-1 instructions end up being translated as 5 bytes JMP
instructions (0xE9), since the jump offsets become increasingly large (&gt;
127) as each instruction gets discovered to be 5 bytes instead of the
estimated 64.

Starting from the second pass, the first N instructions of the ja-1
sequence get translated into 2 bytes JMPs (0xEB) because the jump offsets
become &lt;= 127 this time. In particular, N is defined as roughly 127 / (5
- 2) ~= 42. So, each further pass will make the subsequent N JMP
instructions shrink from 5 to 2 bytes, making the image shrink every time.
This means that in order to have the entire program converge, there need
to be, in the real example above, at least ~1000 / 42 ~= 24 passes just
for translating the dead code. If we add this number to the passes needed
to translate the other non dead code, it brings such program to 40+
passes, and JIT doesn't complete. Ultimately the userspace loader fails
because such BPF program was supposed to be part of a prog array owner
being JITed.

While it is certainly possible to try to refactor such programs to help
the compiler remove dead code, the behavior is not really intuitive and it
puts further burden on the BPF developer who is not expecting such
behavior. To make things worse, such programs are working just fine in all
the kernel releases prior to the ja-1 fix.

A possible approach to mitigate this behavior consists into noticing that
for ja-1 instructions we don't really need to rely on the estimated size
of the previous and current instructions, we know that a -1 BPF jump
offset can be safely translated into a 0xEB instruction with a jump offset
of -2.

Such fix brings the BPF program in the previous example to complete again
in ~9 passes.
