bpf: Mark struct bpf_cpumask as rcu protected

struct bpf_cpumask is a BPF-wrapper around the struct cpumask type which
can be instantiated by a BPF program, and then queried as a cpumask in
similar fashion to normal kernel code. The previous patch in this series
makes the type fully RCU safe, so the type can be included in the
rcu_protected_type BTF ID list.

A subsequent patch will remove bpf_cpumask_kptr_get(), as it's no longer
useful now that we can just treat the type as RCU safe by default and do
our own if check.

bpf: Fix attaching fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm to modules

This resolves two problems with attachment of fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm
to functions located in modules:

1. The verifier tries to find the address to attach to in kallsyms. This
is always done by searching the entire kallsyms, not respecting the
module in which the function is located. Such approach causes an
incorrect attachment address to be computed if the function to attach
to is shadowed by a function of the same name located earlier in
kallsyms.

2. If the address to attach to is located in a module, the module
reference is only acquired in register_fentry. If the module is
unloaded between the place where the address is found
(bpf_check_attach_target in the verifier) and register_fentry, it is
possible that another module is loaded to the same address which may
lead to potential errors.

Since the attachment must contain the BTF of the program to attach to,
we extract the module from it and search for the function address in the
correct module (resolving problem no. 1). Then, the module reference is
taken directly in bpf_check_attach_target and stored in the bpf program
(in bpf_prog_aux). The reference is only released when the program is
unloaded (resolving problem no. 2).

have been done with a MAYBE_MEM_ALLOC equivalent to MAYBE_NULL, but
bpf_kptr_xchg is the only helper that I can forsee using

bpf: take into account liveness when propagating precision

When doing state comparison, if old state has register that is not
marked as REG_LIVE_READ, then we just skip comparison, regardless what's
the state of corresponing register in current state. This is because not
REG_LIVE_READ register is irrelevant for further program execution and
correctness. All good here.

But when we get to precision propagation, after two states were declared
equivalent, we don't take into account old register's liveness, and thus
attempt to propagate precision for register in current state even if
that register in old state was not REG_LIVE_READ anymore. This is bad,
because register in current state could be anything at all and this
could cause -EFAULT due to internal logic bugs.

Fix by taking into account REG_LIVE_READ liveness mark to keep the logic
in state comparison in sync with precision propagation.

bpf: ensure state checkpointing at iter_next() call sites

State equivalence check and checkpointing performed in is_state_visited()
employs certain heuristics to try to save memory by avoiding state checkpoints
if not enough jumps and instructions happened since last checkpoint. This leads
to unpredictability of whether a particular instruction will be checkpointed
and how regularly. While normally this is not causing much problems (except
inconveniences for predictable verifier tests, which we overcome with
BPF_F_TEST_STATE_FREQ flag), turns out it's not the case for open-coded
iterators.

Checking and saving state checkpoints at iter_next() call is crucial for fast
convergence of open-coded iterator loop logic, so we need to force it. If we
don't do that, is_state_visited() might skip saving a checkpoint, causing
unnecessarily long sequence of not checkpointed instructions and jumps, leading
to exhaustion of jump history buffer, and potentially other undesired outcomes.
It is expected that with correct open-coded iterators convergence will happen
quickly, so we don't run a risk of exhausting memory.

This patch adds, in addition to prune and jump instruction marks, also a
"forced checkpoint" mark, and makes sure that any iter_next() call instruction
is marked as such.

bpf: add support for open-coded iterator loops

Teach verifier about the concept of the open-coded (or inline) iterators.

This patch adds generic iterator loop verification logic, new STACK_ITER
stack slot type to contain iterator state, and necessary kfunc plumbing
for iterator's constructor, destructor and next methods. Next patch
implements first specific iterator (numbers iterator for implementing
for() loop logic). Such split allows to have more focused commits for
verifier logic and separate commit that we could point later to
demonstrating what does it take to add a new kind of iterator.

Each kind of iterator has its own associated struct bpf_iter_<type>,
where <type> denotes a specific type of iterator. struct bpf_iter_<type>
state is supposed to live on BPF program stack, so there will be no way
to change its size later on without breaking backwards compatibility, so
choose wisely! But given this struct is specific to a given <type> of
iterator, this allows a lot of flexibility: simple iterators could be
fine with just one stack slot (8 bytes), like numbers iterator in the
next patch, while some other more complicated iterators might need way
more to keep their iterator state. Either way, such design allows to
avoid runtime memory allocations, which otherwise would be necessary if
we fixed on-the-stack size and it turned out to be too small for a given
iterator implementation.

The way BPF verifier logic is implemented, there are no artificial
restrictions on a number of active iterators, it should work correctly
using multiple active iterators at the same time. This also means you
can have multiple nested iteration loops. struct bpf_iter_<type>
reference can be safely passed to subprograms as well.

General flow is easiest to demonstrate with a simple example using
number iterator implemented in next patch. Here's the simplest possible
loop:

struct bpf_iter_num it;
int *v;

bpf_iter_num_new(&it, 2, 5);
while ((v = bpf_iter_num_next(&it))) {
bpf_printk("X = %d", *v);
}
bpf_iter_num_destroy(&it);

Above snippet should output "X = 2", "X = 3", "X = 4". Note that 5 is
exclusive and is not returned. This matches similar APIs (e.g., slices
in Go or Rust) that implement a range of elements, where end index is
non-inclusive.

In the above example, we see a trio of function:
- constructor, bpf_iter_num_new(), which initializes iterator state
(struct bpf_iter_num it) on the stack. If any of the input arguments
are invalid, constructor should make sure to still initialize it such
that subsequent bpf_iter_num_next() calls will return NULL. I.e., on
error, return error and construct empty iterator.
- next method, bpf_iter_num_next(), which accepts pointer to iterator
state and produces an element. Next method should always return
a pointer. The contract between BPF verifier is that next method will
always eventually return NULL when elements are exhausted. Once NULL is
returned, subsequent next calls should keep returning NULL. In the
case of numbers iterator, bpf_iter_num_next() returns a pointer to an int
(storage for this integer is inside the iterator state itself),
which can be dereferenced after corresponding NULL check.
- once done with the iterator, it's mandated that user cleans up its
state with the call to destructor, bpf_iter_num_destroy() in this
case. Destructor frees up any resources and marks stack space used by
struct bpf_iter_num as usable for something else.

Any other iterator implementation will have to implement at least these
three methods. It is enforced that for any given type of iterator only
applicable constructor/destructor/next are callable. I.e., verifier
ensures you can't pass number iterator state into, say, cgroup
iterator's next method.

It is important to keep the naming pattern consistent to be able to
create generic macros to help with BPF iter usability. E.g., one
of the follow up patches adds generic bpf_for_each() macro to bpf_misc.h
in selftests, which allows to utilize iterator "trio" nicely without
having to code the above somewhat tedious loop explicitly every time.
This is enforced at kfunc registration point by one of the previous
patches in this series.

At the implementation level, iterator state tracking for verification
purposes is very similar to dynptr. We add STACK_ITER stack slot type,
reserve necessary number of slots, depending on
sizeof(struct bpf_iter_<type>), and keep track of necessary extra state
in the "main" slot, which is marked with non-zero ref_obj_id. Other
slots are also marked as STACK_ITER, but have zero ref_obj_id. This is
simpler than having a separate "is_first_slot" flag.

Another big distinction is that STACK_ITER is *always refcounted*, which
simplifies implementation without sacrificing usability. So no need for
extra "iter_id", no need to anticipate reuse of STACK_ITER slots for new
constructors, etc. Keeping it simple here.

As far as the verification logic goes, there are two extensive comments:
in process_iter_next_call() and iter_active_depths_differ() explaining
some important and sometimes subtle aspects. Please refer to them for
details.

But from 10,000-foot point of view, next methods are the points of
forking a verification state, which are conceptually similar to what
verifier is doing when validating conditional jump. We branch out at
a `call bpf_iter_<type>_next` instruction and simulate two outcomes:
NULL (iteration is done) and non-NULL (new element is returned). NULL is
simulated first and is supposed to reach exit without looping. After
that non-NULL case is validated and it either reaches exit (for trivial
examples with no real loop), or reaches another `call bpf_iter_<type>_next`
instruction with the state equivalent to already (partially) validated
one. State equivalency at that point means we technically are going to
be looping forever without "breaking out" out of established "state
envelope" (i.e., subsequent iterations don't add any new knowledge or
constraints to the verifier state, so running 1, 2, 10, or a million of
them doesn't matter). But taking into account the contract stating that
iterator next method *has to* return NULL eventually, we can conclude
that loop body is safe and will eventually terminate. Given we validated
logic outside of the loop (NULL case), and concluded that loop body is
safe (though potentially looping many times), verifier can claim safety
of the overall program logic.

The rest of the patch is necessary plumbing for state tracking, marking,
validation, and necessary further kfunc plumbing to allow implementing
iterator constructor, destructor, and next methods.

bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock() are only available in clang compiled kernels. Lack
of such key mechanism makes it impossible for sleepable bpf programs to use RCU
pointers.

Allow bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock() in GCC compiled kernels (though GCC doesn't
support btf_type_tag yet) and allowlist certain field dereferences in important
data structures like tast_struct, cgroup, socket that are used by sleepable
programs either as RCU pointer or full trusted pointer (which is valid outside
of RCU CS). Use BTF_TYPE_SAFE_RCU and BTF_TYPE_SAFE_TRUSTED macros for such
tagging. They will be removed once GCC supports btf_type_tag.

With that refactor check_ptr_to_btf_access(). Make it strict in enforcing
PTR_TRUSTED and PTR_UNTRUSTED while deprecating old PTR_TO_BTF_ID without
modifier flags. There is a chance that this strict enforcement might break
existing programs (especially on GCC compiled kernels), but this cleanup has to
start sooner than later. Note PTR_TO_CTX access still yields old deprecated
PTR_TO_BTF_ID. Once it's converted to strict PTR_TRUSTED or PTR_UNTRUSTED the
kfuncs and helpers will be able to default to KF_TRUSTED_ARGS. KF_RCU will
remain as a weaker version of KF_TRUSTED_ARGS where obj refcnt could be 0.

Adjust rcu_read_lock selftest to run on gcc and clang compiled kernels.

bpf: Introduce kptr_rcu.

The life time of certain kernel structures like 'struct cgroup' is protected by RCU.
Hence it's safe to dereference them directly from __kptr tagged pointers in bpf maps.
The resulting pointer is MEM_RCU and can be passed to kfuncs that expect KF_RCU.
Derefrence of other kptr-s returns PTR_UNTRUSTED.

For example:
struct map_value {
struct cgroup __kptr *cgrp;
};

SEC("tp_btf/cgroup_mkdir")
int BPF_PROG(test_cgrp_get_ancestors, struct cgroup *cgrp_arg, const char *path)
{
struct cgroup *cg, *cg2;

cg = bpf_cgroup_acquire(cgrp_arg); // cg is PTR_TRUSTED and ref_obj_id > 0
bpf_kptr_xchg(&v->cgrp, cg);

cg2 = v->cgrp; // This is new feature introduced by this patch.
// cg2 is PTR_MAYBE_NULL | MEM_RCU.
// When cg2 != NULL, it's a valid cgroup, but its percpu_ref could be zero

if (cg2)
bpf_cgroup_ancestor(cg2, level); // safe to do.
}

bpf: Mark cgroups and dfl_cgrp fields as trusted.

bpf programs sometimes do:
bpf_cgrp_storage_get(&map, task->cgroups->dfl_cgrp, ...);
It is safe to do, because cgroups->dfl_cgrp pointer is set diring init and
never changes. The task->cgroups is also never NULL. It is also set during init
and will change when task switches cgroups. For any trusted task pointer
dereference of cgroups and dfl_cgrp should yield trusted pointers. The verifier
wasn't aware of this. Hence in gcc compiled kernels task->cgroups dereference
was producing PTR_TO_BTF_ID without modifiers while in clang compiled kernels
the verifier recognizes __rcu tag in cgroups field and produces
PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_RCU | MAYBE_NULL.
Tag cgroups and dfl_cgrp as trusted to equalize clang and gcc behavior.
When GCC supports btf_type_tag such tagging will done directly in the type.

bpf: Support kptrs in local storage maps

Enable support for kptrs in local storage maps by wiring up the freeing
of these kptrs from map value. Freeing of bpf_local_storage_map is only
delayed in case there are special fields, therefore bpf_selem_free_*
path can also only dereference smap safely in that case. This is
recorded using a bool utilizing a hole in bpF_local_storage_elem. It
could have been tagged in the pointer value smap using the lowest bit
(since alignment > 1), but since there was already a hole I went with
the simpler option. Only the map structure freeing is delayed using RCU
barriers, as the buckets aren't used when selem is being freed, so they
can be freed once all readers of the bucket lists can no longer access
it.
