It is very useful to do dynamic truncation of packets. In particular,
we're interested to push the necessary header bytes to the user space and
cut off user payload that should probably not be transferred for some reasons
(e.g. privacy, speed, or others). With the ancillary extension PAY_OFFSET,
we can load it into the accumulator, and return it. E.g. in bpfc syntax ...

ld #poff ; { 0x20, 0, 0, 0xfffff034 },
ret a ; { 0x16, 0, 0, 0x00000000 },

... as a filter will accomplish this without having to do a big hackery in
a BPF filter itself. Follow-up JIT implementations are welcome.

Thanks to Eric Dumazet for suggesting and discussing this during the
Netfilter Workshop in Copenhagen.

d59577b6ffd313d0ab3be39cb1ab47e29bdc9182 16-Jan-2013 Vincent Bernat <bernat@luffy.cx> sk-filter: Add ability to lock a socket filter program

While a privileged program can open a raw socket, attach some
restrictive filter and drop its privileges (or send the socket to an
unprivileged program through some Unix socket), the filter can still
be removed or modified by the unprivileged program. This commit adds a
socket option to lock the filter (SO_LOCK_FILTER) preventing any
modification of a socket filter program.

This is similar to OpenBSD BIOCLOCK ioctl on bpf sockets, except even
root is not allowed change/drop the filter.

The state of the lock can be read with getsockopt(). No error is
triggered if the state is not changed. -EPERM is returned when a user
tries to remove the lock or to change/remove the filter while the lock
is active. The check is done directly in sk_attach_filter() and
sk_detach_filter() and does not affect only setsockopt() syscall.

aa1113d9f85da59dcbdd32aeb5d71da566e46def 28-Dec-2012 Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> net: filter: return -EINVAL if BPF_S_ANC* operation is not supported

Currently, we return -EINVAL for malformed or wrong BPF filters.
However, this is not done for BPF_S_ANC* operations, which makes it
more difficult to detect if it's actually supported or not by the
BPF machine. Therefore, we should also return -EINVAL if K is within
the SKF_AD_OFF universe and the ancillary operation did not match.

Why exactly is it needed? If tools such as libpcap/tcpdump want to
make use of new ancillary operations (like filtering VLAN in kernel
space), there is currently no sane way to test if this feature /
BPF_S_ANC* op is present or not, since no error is returned. This
patch will make life easier for that and allow for a proper usage
for user space applications.

There was concern, if this patch will break userland. Short answer: Yes
and no. Long answer: It will "break" only for code that calls ...

{ BPF_LD | BPF_(W|H|B) | BPF_ABS, 0, 0, <K> },

... where <K> is in [0xfffff000, 0xffffffff] _and_ <K> is *not* an
ancillary. And here comes the BUT: assuming some *old* code will have
such an instruction where <K> is between [0xfffff000, 0xffffffff] and
it doesn't know ancillary operations, then this will give a
non-expected / unwanted behavior as well (since we do not return the
BPF machine with 0 after a failed load_pointer(), which was the case
before introducing ancillary operations, but load sth. into the
accumulator instead, and continue with the next instruction, for
instance). Thus, user space code would already have been broken by
introducing ancillary operations into the BPF machine per se. Code
that does such a direct load, e.g. "load word at packet offset
0xffffffff into accumulator" ("ld [0xffffffff]") is quite broken,
isn't it? The whole assumption of ancillary operations is that no-one
intentionally calls things like "ld [0xffffffff]" and expect this
word to be loaded from such a packet offset. Hence, we can also safely
make use of this feature testing patch and facilitate application
development. Therefore, at least from this patch onwards, we have
*for sure* a check whether current or in future implemented BPF_S_ANC*
ops are supported in the kernel. Patch was tested on x86_64.

(Thanks to Eric for the previous review.)

a8fc92778080c845eaadc369a0ecf5699a03bef0 01-Nov-2012 Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com> sk-filter: Add ability to get socket filter program (v2)

The SO_ATTACH_FILTER option is set only. I propose to add the get
ability by using SO_ATTACH_FILTER in getsockopt. To be less
irritating to eyes the SO_GET_FILTER alias to it is declared. This
ability is required by checkpoint-restore project to be able to
save full state of a socket.

There are two issues with getting filter back.

First, kernel modifies the sock_filter->code on filter load, thus in
order to return the filter element back to user we have to decode it
into user-visible constants. Fortunately the modification in question
is interconvertible.

Second, the BPF_S_ALU_DIV_K code modifies the command argument k to
speed up the run-time division by doing kernel_k = reciprocal(user_k).
Bad news is that different user_k may result in same kernel_k, so we
can't get the original user_k back. Good news is that we don't have
to do it. What we need to is calculate a user2_k so, that

reciprocal(user2_k) == reciprocal(user_k) == kernel_k

i.e. if it's re-loaded back the compiled again value will be exactly
the same as it was. That said, the user2_k can be calculated like this

user2_k = reciprocal(kernel_k)

with an exception, that if kernel_k == 0, then user2_k == 1.

The optlen argument is treated like this -- when zero, kernel returns
the amount of sock_fprog elements in filter, otherwise it should be
large enough for the sock_fprog array.

changes since v1:
* Declared SO_GET_FILTER in all arch headers
* Added decode of vlan-tag codes

BPF filters lack ability to access skb->vlan_tci

This patch adds two new ancillary accessors :

SKF_AD_VLAN_TAG (44) mapped to vlan_tx_tag_get(skb)

SKF_AD_VLAN_TAG_PRESENT (48) mapped to vlan_tx_tag_present(skb)

This allows libpcap/tcpdump to use a kernel filter instead of
having to fallback to accept all packets, then filter them in
user space.

load operations. Since BPF_MOD has recently been added, BPF_XOR should
also be part of the common ALU operations. Removing SKF_AD_ALU_XOR_X

Change the skb allocation API to indicate RX usage and use this to fall
back to the PFMEMALLOC reserve when needed. SKBs allocated from the
reserve are tagged in skb->pfmemalloc. If an SKB is allocated from the
reserve and the socket is later found to be unrelated to page reclaim, the
packet is dropped so that the memory remains available for page reclaim.
Network protocols are expected to recover from this packet loss.

This patch adds a check_loads() function, whole unique purpose is to
make this check, allocating a temporary array of mask. We scan the
filter and propagate a bitmask information, telling us if a load M(K) is
allowed because a previous store M(K) is guaranteed. (So that
sk_run_filter() can possibly not read unitialized memory)

Note: this can uncover application bug, denying a filter attach,
previously allowed.

Pavel Emelyanov tried to fix a race between sk_filter_(de|at)tach and
sk_clone() in commit 47e958eac280c263397

Problem is we can have several clones sharing a common sk_filter, and
these clones might want to sk_filter_attach() their own filters at the
same time, and can overwrite old_filter->rcu, corrupting RCU queues.

We can not use filter->rcu without being sure no other thread could do
the same thing.

Switch code to a more conventional ref-counting technique : Do the
atomic decrement immediately and queue one rcu call back when last
reference is released.

Remove pc variable to avoid arithmetic to compute fentry at each filter
instruction. Jumps directly manipulate fentry pointer.

As the last instruction of filter[] is guaranteed to be a RETURN, and
all jumps are before the last instruction, we dont need to check filter
bounds (number of instructions in filter array) at each iteration, so we
remove it from sk_run_filter() params.

On x86_32 remove f_k var introduced in commit 57fe93b374a6b871
(filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory)

Note : We could use a CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_{FEW|MANY}_REGISTERS in order to
avoid too many ifdefs in this code.

This helps compiler to use cpu registers to hold fentry and A
accumulator.

On x86_32, this saves 401 bytes, and more important, sk_run_filter()
runs much faster because less register pressure (One less conditional
branch per BPF instruction)

There is a possibility malicious users can get limited information about
uninitialized stack mem array. Even if sk_run_filter() result is bound
to packet length (0 .. 65535), we could imagine this can be used by
hostile user.

Initializing mem[] array, like Dan Rosenberg suggested in his patch is
expensive since most filters dont even use this array.

Its hard to make the filter validation in sk_chk_filter(), because of
the jumps. This might be done later.

In this patch, I use a bitmap (a single long var) so that only filters
using mem[] loads/stores pay the price of added security checks.

For other filters, additional cost is a single instruction.

and mark filter entry pointer as const. -DaveM ]

Gcc is currenlty not in the ability to optimize the switch statement in
sk_run_filter() because of dense case labels. This patch replace the
OR'd labels with ordered sequenced case labels. The sk_chk_filter()
function is modified to patch/replace the original OPCODES in a
ordered but equivalent form. gcc is now in the ability to transform the
switch statement in sk_run_filter into a jump table of complexity O(1).

Until this patch gcc generates a sequence of conditional branches (O(n) of 567
byte .text segment size (arch x86_64):

7ff: 8b 06 mov (%rsi),%eax
801: 66 83 f8 35 cmp $0x35,%ax

827: 77 29 ja 852 <sk_run_filter+0x94>
829: 66 83 f8 01 cmp $0x1,%ax
[...]

With the modification the compiler translate the switch statement into
the following jump table fragment:

7ff: 66 83 3e 2c cmpw $0x2c,(%rsi)
803: 0f 87 1f 02 00 00 ja a28 <sk_run_filter+0x26a>

81b: 41 89 dc mov %ebx,%r12d
81e: e9 3b 03 00 00 jmpq b5e <sk_run_filter+0x3a0>

5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05 24-Mar-2010 Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.

2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

SKF_AD_NLATTR allows us to find the first matching attribute in a
stream of netlink attributes from one offset to the end of the
netlink message. This is not suitable to look for a specific
matching inside a set of nested attributes.

For example, in ctnetlink messages, if we look for the CTA_V6_SRC
attribute in a message that talks about an IPv4 connection,
SKF_AD_NLATTR returns the offset of CTA_STATUS which has the same
value of CTA_V6_SRC but outside the nest. To differenciate
CTA_STATUS and CTA_V6_SRC, we would have to make assumptions on the
size of the attribute and the usual offset, resulting in horrible
BSF code.

This patch adds SKF_AD_NLATTR_NEST, which is a variant of
SKF_AD_NLATTR, that looks for an attribute inside the limits of
a nested attributes, but not further.

This patch validates that we have enough room to look for the
nested attributes - based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy.

SKF_ADF_NLATTR searches for a netlink attribute, which avoids manually
parsing and walking attributes. It takes the offset at which to start
searching in the 'A' register and the attribute type in the 'X' register
and returns the offset in the 'A' register. When the attribute is not
found it returns zero.

A top-level attribute can be located using a filter like this
(example for nfnetlink, using struct nfgenmsg):

...
{
/* A = offset of first attribute */
.code = BPF_LD | BPF_IMM,
.k = sizeof(struct nlmsghdr) + sizeof(struct nfgenmsg)
},
{
/* X = CTA_PROTOINFO */
.code = BPF_LDX | BPF_IMM,
.k = CTA_PROTOINFO,
},
{
/* A = netlink attribute offset */
.code = BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_ABS,
.k = SKF_AD_OFF + SKF_AD_NLATTR
},
{
/* Exit if not found */
.code = BPF_JMP | BPF_JEQ | BPF_K,
.k = 0,
.jt = <error>
},
...

A nested attribute below the CTA_PROTOINFO attribute would then
be parsed like this:

...
{
/* A += sizeof(struct nlattr) */
.code = BPF_ALU | BPF_ADD | BPF_K,
.k = sizeof(struct nlattr),
},
{
/* X = CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP */
.code = BPF_LDX | BPF_IMM,
.k = CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP,
},
{
/* A = netlink attribute offset */
.code = BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_ABS,
.k = SKF_AD_OFF + SKF_AD_NLATTR
},
...

The data of an attribute can be loaded into 'A' like this:

...
{
/* X = A (attribute offset) */
.code = BPF_MISC | BPF_TAX,
},
{
/* A = skb->data[X + k] */
.code = BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_IND,
.k = sizeof(struct nlattr),
},
...

That's the deref of fp:

static void sk_filter_delayed_uncharge(struct sock *sk, struct sk_filter *fp)
{
unsigned int size = sk_filter_len(fp);
...

That is called from sk_attach_filter():

...
rcu_read_lock_bh();
old_fp = rcu_dereference(sk->sk_filter);
rcu_assign_pointer(sk->sk_filter, fp);
rcu_read_unlock_bh();

sk_filter_delayed_uncharge(sk, old_fp);
return 0;
...

So, looks like rcu_dereference() returned NULL. I don't know the
filter code at all, but it seems like it might be a valid case?
sk_detach_filter() seems to handle a NULL sk_filter, at least.

So, this needs review by someone who knows the filter, but it fixes the
problem for me:

The proposed fix is to delay the reference counter decrement
until the quiescent state pass. This will give sk_clone() a
chance to get the reference on the cloned filter.

Regular sk_filter_uncharge can happen from the sk_free() only
and there's no need in delaying the put - the socket is dead
anyway and is to be release itself.

This is done merely as a preparation for the fix.

The sk_filter_uncharge() unaccounts the filter memory and calls
the sk_filter_release(), which in turn decrements the refcount
anf frees the filter.

The latter function will be required separately.

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)

Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.

cd354f1ae75e6466a7e31b727faede57a1f89ca5 14-Feb-2007 Tim Schmielau <tim@physik3.uni-rostock.de> [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

Never mind, I got it, we never fall through to the second switch

case and return 0 for all cases but 0 > k >= SKF_AD_OFF.

Here's a patch to do just that.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
