Daniel Borkmann says:

====================
pull-request: bpf 2018-02-09

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Two fixes for BPF sockmap in order to break up circular map references
   from programs attached to sockmap, and detaching related sockets in
   case of socket close() event. For the latter we get rid of the
   smap_state_change() and plug into ULP infrastructure, which will later
   also be used for additional features anyway such as TX hooks. For the
   second issue, dependency chain is broken up via map release callback
   to free parse/verdict programs, all from John.

2) Fix a libbpf relocation issue that was found while implementing XDP
   support for Suricata project. Issue was that when clang was invoked
   with default target instead of bpf target, then various other e.g.
   debugging relevant sections are added to the ELF file that contained
   relocation entries pointing to non-BPF related sections which libbpf
   trips over instead of skipping them. Test cases for libbpf are added
   as well, from Jesper.

3) Various misc fixes for bpftool and one for libbpf: a small addition
   to libbpf to make sure it recognizes all standard section prefixes.
   Then, the Makefile in bpftool/Documentation is improved to explicitly
   check for rst2man being installed on the system as we otherwise risk
   installing empty man pages; the man page for bpftool-map is corrected
   and a set of missing bash completions added in order to avoid shipping
   bpftool where the completions are only partially working, from Quentin.

4) Fix applying the relocation to immediate load instructions in the
   nfp JIT which were missing a shift, from Jakub.

5) Two fixes for the BPF kernel selftests: handle CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON=y
   gracefully in test_bpf.ko module and mark them as FLAG_EXPECTED_FAIL
   in this case; and explicitly delete the veth devices in the two tests
   test_xdp_{meta,redirect}.sh before dismantling the netnses as when
   selftests are run in batch mode, then workqueue to handle destruction
   might not have finished yet and thus veth creation in next test under
   same dev name would fail, from Yonghong.

6) Fix test_kmod.sh to check the test_bpf.ko module path before performing
   an insmod, and fallback to modprobe. Especially the latter is useful
   when having a device under test that has the modules installed instead,
   from Naresh.

We get a lot of very large stack frames using gcc-7.0.1 with the default
-fsanitize-address-use-after-scope --param asan-stack=1 options, which can
easily cause an overflow of the kernel stack, e.g.

  drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/handlers.c:2434:1: warning: the frame size of 46176 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
  drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2800lib.c:5650:1: warning: the frame size of 23632 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
  lib/atomic64_test.c:250:1: warning: the frame size of 11200 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
  drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/handlers.c:2621:1: warning: the frame size of 9208 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
  drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv090x.c:3431:1: warning: the frame size of 6816 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
  fs/fscache/stats.c:287:1: warning: the frame size of 6536 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes

To reduce this risk, -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope is now split out
into a separate CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA Kconfig option, leading to stack
frames that are smaller than 2 kilobytes most of the time on x86_64.  An
earlier version of this patch also prevented combining KASAN_EXTRA with
KASAN_INLINE, but that is no longer necessary with gcc-7.0.1.

All patches to get the frame size below 2048 bytes with CONFIG_KASAN=y
and CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA=n have been merged by maintainers now, so we can
bring back that default now.  KASAN_EXTRA=y still causes lots of
warnings but now defaults to !COMPILE_TEST to disable it in
allmodconfig, and it remains disabled in all other defconfigs since it
is a new option.  I arbitrarily raise the warning limit for KASAN_EXTRA
to 3072 to reduce the noise, but an allmodconfig kernel still has around
50 warnings on gcc-7.

I experimented a bit more with smaller stack frames and have another
follow-up series that reduces the warning limit for 64-bit architectures
to 1280 bytes (without CONFIG_KASAN).

With earlier versions of this patch series, I also had patches to address
the warnings we get with KASAN and/or KASAN_EXTRA, using a
"noinline_if_stackbloat" annotation.

That annotation now got replaced with a gcc-8 bugfix (see
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81715) and a workaround for
older compilers, which means that KASAN_EXTRA is now just as bad as
before and will lead to an instant stack overflow in a few extreme
cases.

This reverts parts of commit 3f181b4d8652 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: disable
-Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y").  Two patches in linux-next
should be merged first to avoid introducing warnings in an allmodconfig
build:
  3cd890dbe2a4 ("media: dvb-frontends: fix i2c access helpers for KASAN")
  16c3ada89cff ("media: r820t: fix r820t_write_reg for KASAN")

Do we really need to backport this?

I think we do: without this patch, enabling KASAN will lead to
unavoidable kernel stack overflow in certain device drivers when built
with gcc-7 or higher on linux-4.10+ or any version that contains a
backport of commit c5caf21ab0cf8.  Most people are probably still on
older compilers, but it will get worse over time as they upgrade their
distros.

The warnings we get on kernels older than this should all be for code
that uses dangerously large stack frames, though most of them do not
cause an actual stack overflow by themselves.The asan-stack option was
added in linux-4.0, and commit 3f181b4d8652 ("lib/Kconfig.debug:
disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y") effectively turned
off the warning for allmodconfig kernels, so I would like to see this
fix backported to any kernels later than 4.0.

I have done dozens of fixes for individual functions with stack frames
larger than 2048 bytes with asan-stack, and I plan to make sure that
all those fixes make it into the stable kernels as well (most are
already there).

Part of the complication here is that asan-stack (from 4.0) was
originally assumed to always require much larger stacks, but that
turned out to be a combination of multiple gcc bugs that we have now
worked around and fixed, but sanitize-address-use-after-scope (from
v4.10) has a much higher inherent stack usage and also suffers from at
least three other problems that we have analyzed but not yet fixed
upstream, each of them makes the stack usage more severe than it should
be.

<title>lib/ubsan: remove returns-nonnull-attribute checks</title>

<content type='text'>
Similarly to type mismatch checks, new GCC 8.x and Clang also changed for
ABI for returns_nonnull checks.  While we can update our code to conform
the new ABI it's more reasonable to just remove it.  Because it's just
dead code, we don't have any single user of returns_nonnull attribute in
the whole kernel.

And AFAIU the advantage that this attribute could bring would be mitigated
by -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks cflag that we use to build the kernel.
So it's unlikely we will have a lot of returns_nonnull attribute in
future.

So let's just remove the code, it has no use.

UBSAN=y fails to build with new GCC/clang:

    arch/x86/kernel/head64.o: In function `sanitize_boot_params':
    arch/x86/include/asm/bootparam_utils.h:37: undefined reference to `__ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1'

because Clang and GCC 8 slightly changed ABI for 'type mismatch' errors.
Compiler now uses new __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1() function with
slightly modified 'struct type_mismatch_data'.

Let's add new 'struct type_mismatch_data_common' which is independent from
compiler's layout of 'struct type_mismatch_data'.  And make
__ubsan_handle_type_mismatch[_v1]() functions transform compiler-dependent
type mismatch data to our internal representation.  This way, we can
support both old and new compilers with minimal amount of change.
