bpf: convert stackmap to pre-allocation

2016-03-08T20:28:31Z

It was observed that calling bpf_get_stackid() from a kprobe inside slub or from spin_unlock causes similar deadlock as with hashmap, therefore convert stackmap to use pre-allocated memory. The call_rcu is no longer feasible mechanism, since delayed freeing causes bpf_get_stackid() to fail unpredictably when number of actual stacks is significantly less than user requested max_entries. Since elements are no longer freed into slub, we can push elements into freelist immediately and let them be recycled. However the very unlikley race between user space map_lookup() and program-side recycling is possible: cpu0 cpu1 ---- ---- user does lookup(stackidX) starts copying ips into buffer delete(stackidX) calls bpf_get_stackid() which recyles the element and overwrites with new stack trace To avoid user space seeing a partial stack trace consisting of two merged stack traces, do bucket = xchg(, NULL); copy; xchg(,bucket); to preserve consistent stack trace delivery to user space. Now we can move memset(,0) of left-over element value from critical path of bpf_get_stackid() into slow-path of user space lookup. Also disallow lookup() from bpf program, since it's useless and program shouldn't be messing with collected stack trace. Note that similar race between user space lookup and kernel side updates is also present in hashmap, but it's not a new race. bpf programs were always allowed to modify hash and array map elements while user space is copying them.

bpf: introduce BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE

2016-02-20T05:21:44Z

add new map type to store stack traces and corresponding helper bpf_get_stackid(ctx, map, flags) - walk user or kernel stack and return id @ctx: struct pt_regs* @map: pointer to stack_trace map @flags: bits 0-7 - numer of stack frames to skip bit 8 - collect user stack instead of kernel bit 9 - compare stacks by hash only bit 10 - if two different stacks hash into the same stackid discard old other bits - reserved Return: >= 0 stackid on success or negative error stackid is a 32-bit integer handle that can be further combined with other data (including other stackid) and used as a key into maps. Userspace will access stackmap using standard lookup/delete syscall commands to retrieve full stack trace for given stackid. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
