Introduction
|

|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux Socket Filtering (LSF) is derived from the Berkeley Packet Filter.
|
|
|
|
Though there are some distinct differences between the BSD and Linux
|
|
|
|
Kernel filtering, but when we speak of BPF or LSF in Linux context, we
|
|
|
|
mean the very same mechanism of filtering in the Linux kernel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
BPF allows a user-space program to attach a filter onto any socket and
|
|
|
|
allow or disallow certain types of data to come through the socket. LSF
|
|
|
|
follows exactly the same filter code structure as BSD's BPF, so referring
|
|
|
|
to the BSD bpf.4 manpage is very helpful in creating filters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Linux, BPF is much simpler than on BSD. One does not have to worry
|
|
|
|
about devices or anything like that. You simply create your filter code,
|
|
|
|
send it to the kernel via the SO_ATTACH_FILTER option and if your filter
|
|
|
|
code passes the kernel check on it, you then immediately begin filtering
|
|
|
|
data on that socket.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also detach filters from your socket via the SO_DETACH_FILTER
|
|
|
|
option. This will probably not be used much since when you close a socket
|
|
|
|
that has a filter on it the filter is automagically removed. The other
|
|
|
|
less common case may be adding a different filter on the same socket where
|
|
|
|
you had another filter that is still running: the kernel takes care of
|
|
|
|
removing the old one and placing your new one in its place, assuming your
|
|
|
|
filter has passed the checks, otherwise if it fails the old filter will
|
|
|
|
remain on that socket.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SO_LOCK_FILTER option allows to lock the filter attached to a socket. Once
|
|
|
|
set, a filter cannot be removed or changed. This allows one process to
|
|
|
|
setup a socket, attach a filter, lock it then drop privileges and be
|
|
|
|
assured that the filter will be kept until the socket is closed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The biggest user of this construct might be libpcap. Issuing a high-level
|
|
|
|
filter command like `tcpdump -i em1 port 22` passes through the libpcap
|
|
|
|
internal compiler that generates a structure that can eventually be loaded
|
|
|
|
via SO_ATTACH_FILTER to the kernel. `tcpdump -i em1 port 22 -ddd`
|
|
|
|
displays what is being placed into this structure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although we were only speaking about sockets here, BPF in Linux is used
|
|
|
|
in many more places. There's xt_bpf for netfilter, cls_bpf in the kernel
|
|
|
|
qdisc layer, SECCOMP-BPF (SECure COMPuting [1]), and lots of other places
|
|
|
|
such as team driver, PTP code, etc where BPF is being used.

Structure
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
User space applications include <linux/filter.h> which contains the
|
|
|
|
following relevant structures:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
struct sock_filter { /* Filter block */
|
|
|
|
__u16 code; /* Actual filter code */
|
|
|
|
__u8 jt; /* Jump true */
|
|
|
|
__u8 jf; /* Jump false */
|
|
|
|
__u32 k; /* Generic multiuse field */
|
|
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Such a structure is assembled as an array of 4-tuples, that contains
|
|
|
|
a code, jt, jf and k value. jt and jf are jump offsets and k a generic
|
|
|
|
value to be used for a provided code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
struct sock_fprog { /* Required for SO_ATTACH_FILTER. */
|
|
|
|
unsigned short len; /* Number of filter blocks */
|
|
|
|
struct sock_filter __user *filter;
|
|
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For socket filtering, a pointer to this structure (as shown in
|
|
|
|
follow-up example) is being passed to the kernel through setsockopt(2).

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
struct sock_fprog bpf = {
|
|
|
|
.len = ARRAY_SIZE(code),
|
|
|
|
.filter = code,
|
|
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sock = socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, htons(ETH_P_ALL));
|
|
|
|
if (sock < 0)
|
|
|
|
/* ... bail out ... */
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ret = setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_FILTER, &bpf, sizeof(bpf));
|
|
|
|
if (ret < 0)
|
|
|
|
/* ... bail out ... */
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/* ... */
|
|
|
|
close(sock);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The above example code attaches a socket filter for a PF_PACKET socket
|
|
|
|
in order to let all IPv4/IPv6 packets with port 22 pass. The rest will
|
|
|
|
be dropped for this socket.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The setsockopt(2) call to SO_DETACH_FILTER doesn't need any arguments
|
|
|
|
and SO_LOCK_FILTER for preventing the filter to be detached, takes an
|
|
|
|
integer value with 0 or 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that socket filters are not restricted to PF_PACKET sockets only,
|
|
|
|
but can also be used on other socket families.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Summary of system calls:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_FILTER, &val, sizeof(val));
|
|
|
|
* setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_DETACH_FILTER, &val, sizeof(val));
|
|
|
|
* setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_LOCK_FILTER, &val, sizeof(val));
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Normally, most use cases for socket filtering on packet sockets will be
|
|
|
|
covered by libpcap in high-level syntax, so as an application developer
|
|
|
|
you should stick to that. libpcap wraps its own layer around all that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unless i) using/linking to libpcap is not an option, ii) the required BPF
|
|
|
|
filters use Linux extensions that are not supported by libpcap's compiler,
|
|
|
|
iii) a filter might be more complex and not cleanly implementable with
|
|
|
|
libpcap's compiler, or iv) particular filter codes should be optimized
|
|
|
|
differently than libpcap's internal compiler does; then in such cases
|
|
|
|
writing such a filter "by hand" can be of an alternative. For example,
|
|
|
|
xt_bpf and cls_bpf users might have requirements that could result in
|
|
|
|
more complex filter code, or one that cannot be expressed with libpcap
|
|
|
|
(e.g. different return codes for various code paths). Moreover, BPF JIT
|
|
|
|
implementors may wish to manually write test cases and thus need low-level
|
|
|
|
access to BPF code as well.

BPF engine and instruction set
|

|
Under tools/bpf/ there's a small helper tool called bpf_asm which can
|
2013-12-11 15:43:45 -07:00
|
|
|
be used to write low-level filters for example scenarios mentioned in the
|
|
|
|
previous section. Asm-like syntax mentioned here has been implemented in
|
|
|
|
bpf_asm and will be used for further explanations (instead of dealing with
|
|
|
|
less readable opcodes directly, principles are the same). The syntax is
|
|
|
|
closely modelled after Steven McCanne's and Van Jacobson's BPF paper.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The BPF architecture consists of the following basic elements:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Element Description
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A 32 bit wide accumulator
|
|
|
|
X 32 bit wide X register
|
|
|
|
M[] 16 x 32 bit wide misc registers aka "scratch memory
|
|
|
|
store", addressable from 0 to 15
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A program, that is translated by bpf_asm into "opcodes" is an array that
|
|
|
|
consists of the following elements (as already mentioned):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
op:16, jt:8, jf:8, k:32
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The element op is a 16 bit wide opcode that has a particular instruction
|
|
|
|
encoded. jt and jf are two 8 bit wide jump targets, one for condition
|
|
|
|
"jump if true", the other one "jump if false". Eventually, element k
|
|
|
|
contains a miscellaneous argument that can be interpreted in different
|
|
|
|
ways depending on the given instruction in op.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The instruction set consists of load, store, branch, alu, miscellaneous
|
|
|
|
and return instructions that are also represented in bpf_asm syntax. This
|
|
|
|
table lists all bpf_asm instructions available resp. what their underlying
|
|
|
|
opcodes as defined in linux/filter.h stand for:

|
|
|
The Linux kernel also has a couple of BPF extensions that are used along
|
|
|
|
with the class of load instructions by "overloading" the k argument with
|
|
|
|
a negative offset + a particular extension offset. The result of such BPF
|
|
|
|
extensions are loaded into A.
|
|

The above example code can be placed into a file (here called "foo"), and
|
|
|
|
then be passed to the bpf_asm tool for generating opcodes, output that xt_bpf
|
|
|
|
and cls_bpf understands and can directly be loaded with. Example with above
|
|
|
|
ARP code:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./bpf_asm foo
|
|
|
|
4,40 0 0 12,21 0 1 2054,6 0 0 4294967295,6 0 0 0,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In copy and paste C-like output:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./bpf_asm -c foo
|
|
|
|
{ 0x28, 0, 0, 0x0000000c },
|
|
|
|
{ 0x15, 0, 1, 0x00000806 },
|
|
|
|
{ 0x06, 0, 0, 0xffffffff },
|
|
|
|
{ 0x06, 0, 0, 0000000000 },
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In particular, as usage with xt_bpf or cls_bpf can result in more complex BPF
|
|
|
|
filters that might not be obvious at first, it's good to test filters before
|
|
|
|
attaching to a live system. For that purpose, there's a small tool called
|
2018-04-15 02:07:12 -06:00
|
|
|
bpf_dbg under tools/bpf/ in the kernel source directory. This debugger allows
|
2013-12-11 15:43:45 -07:00
|
|
|
for testing BPF filters against given pcap files, single stepping through the
|
|
|
|
BPF code on the pcap's packets and to do BPF machine register dumps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Starting bpf_dbg is trivial and just requires issuing:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# ./bpf_dbg
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In case input and output do not equal stdin/stdout, bpf_dbg takes an
|
|
|
|
alternative stdin source as a first argument, and an alternative stdout
|
|
|
|
sink as a second one, e.g. `./bpf_dbg test_in.txt test_out.txt`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other than that, a particular libreadline configuration can be set via
|
|
|
|
file "~/.bpf_dbg_init" and the command history is stored in the file
|
|
|
|
"~/.bpf_dbg_history".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interaction in bpf_dbg happens through a shell that also has auto-completion
|
|
|
|
support (follow-up example commands starting with '>' denote bpf_dbg shell).
|
|
|
|
The usual workflow would be to ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> load bpf 6,40 0 0 12,21 0 3 2048,48 0 0 23,21 0 1 1,6 0 0 65535,6 0 0 0
|
|
|
|
Loads a BPF filter from standard output of bpf_asm, or transformed via
|
|
|
|
e.g. `tcpdump -iem1 -ddd port 22 | tr '\n' ','`. Note that for JIT
|
|
|
|
debugging (next section), this command creates a temporary socket and
|
|
|
|
loads the BPF code into the kernel. Thus, this will also be useful for
|
|
|
|
JIT developers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> load pcap foo.pcap
|
|
|
|
Loads standard tcpdump pcap file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> run [<n>]
|
|
|
|
bpf passes:1 fails:9
|
|
|
|
Runs through all packets from a pcap to account how many passes and fails
|
|
|
|
the filter will generate. A limit of packets to traverse can be given.

Performs single stepping through the BPF program from the current pc

This can go forwards and backwards in time, a plain `step` will break

Selects a given packet from the pcap file to continue from. Thus, on

JIT compiler
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
2019-02-05 05:41:24 -07:00
|
|
|
The Linux kernel has a built-in BPF JIT compiler for x86_64, SPARC,
|
|
|
|
PowerPC, ARM, ARM64, MIPS, RISC-V and s390 and can be enabled through
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_BPF_JIT. The JIT compiler is transparently invoked for each
|
|
|
|
attached filter from user space or for internal kernel users if it has
|
|
|
|
been previously enabled by root:
|
2013-12-11 15:43:45 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For JIT developers, doing audits etc, each compile run can output the generated
|
|
|
|
opcode image into the kernel log via:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

When CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is enabled, bpf_jit_enable is permanently set to 1 and
|
|
|
|
setting any other value than that will return in failure. This is even the case for
|
|
|
|
setting bpf_jit_enable to 2, since dumping the final JIT image into the kernel log
|
|
|
|
is discouraged and introspection through bpftool (under tools/bpf/bpftool/) is the
|
|
|
|
generally recommended approach instead.
|
|
|
|
|

In the kernel source tree under tools/bpf/, there's bpf_jit_disasm for
|
2013-12-11 15:43:45 -07:00

generating disassembly out of the kernel log's hexdump:

BPF kernel internals
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
Internally, for the kernel interpreter, a different instruction set
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
format with similar underlying principles from BPF described in previous
|
|
|
|
paragraphs is being used. However, the instruction set format is modelled
|
|
|
|
closer to the underlying architecture to mimic native instruction sets, so
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
that a better performance can be achieved (more details later). This new
|
|
|
|
ISA is called 'eBPF' or 'internal BPF' interchangeably. (Note: eBPF which
|
|
|
|
originates from [e]xtended BPF is not the same as BPF extensions! While
|
|
|
|
eBPF is an ISA, BPF extensions date back to classic BPF's 'overloading'
|
|
|
|
of BPF_LD | BPF_{B,H,W} | BPF_ABS instruction.)
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is designed to be JITed with one to one mapping, which can also open up
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
the possibility for GCC/LLVM compilers to generate optimized eBPF code through
|
|
|
|
an eBPF backend that performs almost as fast as natively compiled code.
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new instruction set was originally designed with the possible goal in
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
mind to write programs in "restricted C" and compile into eBPF with a optional
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
GCC/LLVM backend, so that it can just-in-time map to modern 64-bit CPUs with
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
minimal performance overhead over two steps, that is, C -> eBPF -> native code.
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, the new format is being used for running user BPF programs, which
|
|
|
|
includes seccomp BPF, classic socket filters, cls_bpf traffic classifier,
|
|
|
|
team driver's classifier for its load-balancing mode, netfilter's xt_bpf
|
|
|
|
extension, PTP dissector/classifier, and much more. They are all internally
|
|
|
|
converted by the kernel into the new instruction set representation and run
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|

in the eBPF interpreter. For in-kernel handlers, this all works transparently

net: filter: split 'struct sk_filter' into socket and bpf parts
clean up names related to socket filtering and bpf in the following way:
- everything that deals with sockets keeps 'sk_*' prefix
- everything that is pure BPF is changed to 'bpf_*' prefix
split 'struct sk_filter' into
struct sk_filter {
atomic_t refcnt;
struct rcu_head rcu;
struct bpf_prog *prog;
};
and
struct bpf_prog {
u32 jited:1,
len:31;
struct sock_fprog_kern *orig_prog;
unsigned int (*bpf_func)(const struct sk_buff *skb,
const struct bpf_insn *filter);
union {
struct sock_filter insns[0];
struct bpf_insn insnsi[0];
struct work_struct work;
};
};
so that 'struct bpf_prog' can be used independent of sockets and cleans up
'unattached' bpf use cases
split SK_RUN_FILTER macro into:
SK_RUN_FILTER to be used with 'struct sk_filter *' and
BPF_PROG_RUN to be used with 'struct bpf_prog *'
__sk_filter_release(struct sk_filter *) gains
__bpf_prog_release(struct bpf_prog *) helper function
also perform related renames for the functions that work
with 'struct bpf_prog *', since they're on the same lines:
sk_filter_size -> bpf_prog_size
sk_filter_select_runtime -> bpf_prog_select_runtime
sk_filter_free -> bpf_prog_free
sk_unattached_filter_create -> bpf_prog_create
sk_unattached_filter_destroy -> bpf_prog_destroy
sk_store_orig_filter -> bpf_prog_store_orig_filter
sk_release_orig_filter -> bpf_release_orig_filter
__sk_migrate_filter -> bpf_migrate_filter
__sk_prepare_filter -> bpf_prepare_filter
API for attaching classic BPF to a socket stays the same:
sk_attach_filter(prog, struct sock *)/sk_detach_filter(struct sock *)
and SK_RUN_FILTER(struct sk_filter *, ctx) to execute a program
which is used by sockets, tun, af_packet
API for 'unattached' BPF programs becomes:
bpf_prog_create(struct bpf_prog **)/bpf_prog_destroy(struct bpf_prog *)
and BPF_PROG_RUN(struct bpf_prog *, ctx) to execute a program
which is used by isdn, ppp, team, seccomp, ptp, xt_bpf, cls_bpf, test_bpf

by using bpf_prog_create() for setting up the filter, resp.
|
|
|
|
bpf_prog_destroy() for destroying it. The macro
|
|
|
|
BPF_PROG_RUN(filter, ctx) transparently invokes eBPF interpreter or JITed
|
|
|
|
code to run the filter. 'filter' is a pointer to struct bpf_prog that we
|
|
|
|
got from bpf_prog_create(), and 'ctx' the given context (e.g.
|
2014-07-30 21:34:14 -06:00
|
|
|
skb pointer). All constraints and restrictions from bpf_check_classic() apply
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
before a conversion to the new layout is being done behind the scenes!
|
|
|
|
|
2019-02-05 05:41:24 -07:00
|
|
|
Currently, the classic BPF format is being used for JITing on most
|
|
|
|
32-bit architectures, whereas x86-64, aarch64, s390x, powerpc64,
|
|
|
|
sparc64, arm32, riscv (RV64G) perform JIT compilation from eBPF
|
|
|
|
instruction set.
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some core changes of the new internal format:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Number of registers increase from 2 to 10:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The old format had two registers A and X, and a hidden frame pointer. The
|
|
|
|
new layout extends this to be 10 internal registers and a read-only frame
|
|
|
|
pointer. Since 64-bit CPUs are passing arguments to functions via registers
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
the number of args from eBPF program to in-kernel function is restricted
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
to 5 and one register is used to accept return value from an in-kernel
|
|
|
|
function. Natively, x86_64 passes first 6 arguments in registers, aarch64/
|
|
|
|
sparcv9/mips64 have 7 - 8 registers for arguments; x86_64 has 6 callee saved
|
|
|
|
registers, and aarch64/sparcv9/mips64 have 11 or more callee saved registers.
|
|
|
|
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
Therefore, eBPF calling convention is defined as:
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
* R0 - return value from in-kernel function, and exit value for eBPF program
|
|
|
|
* R1 - R5 - arguments from eBPF program to in-kernel function
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
* R6 - R9 - callee saved registers that in-kernel function will preserve
|
|
|
|
* R10 - read-only frame pointer to access stack
|
|
|
|
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
Thus, all eBPF registers map one to one to HW registers on x86_64, aarch64,
|
|
|
|
etc, and eBPF calling convention maps directly to ABIs used by the kernel on
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
64-bit architectures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On 32-bit architectures JIT may map programs that use only 32-bit arithmetic
|
|
|
|
and may let more complex programs to be interpreted.
|
|
|
|
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
R0 - R5 are scratch registers and eBPF program needs spill/fill them if
|
|
|
|
necessary across calls. Note that there is only one eBPF program (== one
|
|
|
|
eBPF main routine) and it cannot call other eBPF functions, it can only
|
|
|
|
call predefined in-kernel functions, though.
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Register width increases from 32-bit to 64-bit:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Still, the semantics of the original 32-bit ALU operations are preserved
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
via 32-bit subregisters. All eBPF registers are 64-bit with 32-bit lower
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
subregisters that zero-extend into 64-bit if they are being written to.
|
|
|
|
That behavior maps directly to x86_64 and arm64 subregister definition, but
|
|
|
|
makes other JITs more difficult.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
32-bit architectures run 64-bit internal BPF programs via interpreter.
|
|
|
|
Their JITs may convert BPF programs that only use 32-bit subregisters into
|
|
|
|
native instruction set and let the rest being interpreted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Operation is 64-bit, because on 64-bit architectures, pointers are also
|
|
|
|
64-bit wide, and we want to pass 64-bit values in/out of kernel functions,
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
so 32-bit eBPF registers would otherwise require to define register-pair
|
|
|
|
ABI, thus, there won't be able to use a direct eBPF register to HW register
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
mapping and JIT would need to do combine/split/move operations for every
|
|
|
|
register in and out of the function, which is complex, bug prone and slow.
|
|
|
|
Another reason is the use of atomic 64-bit counters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Conditional jt/jf targets replaced with jt/fall-through:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While the original design has constructs such as "if (cond) jump_true;
|
|
|
|
else jump_false;", they are being replaced into alternative constructs like
|
|
|
|
"if (cond) jump_true; /* else fall-through */".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Introduces bpf_call insn and register passing convention for zero overhead
|
|
|
|
calls from/to other kernel functions:
|
|
|
|
|
2014-05-01 09:16:03 -06:00
|
|
|
Before an in-kernel function call, the internal BPF program needs to
|
|
|
|
place function arguments into R1 to R5 registers to satisfy calling
|
|
|
|
convention, then the interpreter will take them from registers and pass
|
|
|
|
to in-kernel function. If R1 - R5 registers are mapped to CPU registers
|
|
|
|
that are used for argument passing on given architecture, the JIT compiler
|
|
|
|
doesn't need to emit extra moves. Function arguments will be in the correct
|
|
|
|
registers and BPF_CALL instruction will be JITed as single 'call' HW
|
|
|
|
instruction. This calling convention was picked to cover common call
|
|
|
|
situations without performance penalty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After an in-kernel function call, R1 - R5 are reset to unreadable and R0 has
|
|
|
|
a return value of the function. Since R6 - R9 are callee saved, their state
|
|
|
|
is preserved across the call.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, consider three C functions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
u64 f1() { return (*_f2)(1); }
|
|
|
|
u64 f2(u64 a) { return f3(a + 1, a); }
|
|
|
|
u64 f3(u64 a, u64 b) { return a - b; }
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GCC can compile f1, f3 into x86_64:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
f1:
|
|
|
|
movl $1, %edi
|
|
|
|
movq _f2(%rip), %rax
|
|
|
|
jmp *%rax
|
|
|
|
f3:
|
|
|
|
movq %rdi, %rax
|
|
|
|
subq %rsi, %rax
|
|
|
|
ret
|
|
|
|
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
Function f2 in eBPF may look like:
|
2014-05-01 09:16:03 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
f2:
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R2, R1
|
|
|
|
bpf_add R1, 1
|
|
|
|
bpf_call f3
|
|
|
|
bpf_exit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If f2 is JITed and the pointer stored to '_f2'. The calls f1 -> f2 -> f3 and
|
2014-10-09 21:36:54 -06:00
|
|
|
returns will be seamless. Without JIT, __bpf_prog_run() interpreter needs to
|
2014-05-01 09:16:03 -06:00
|
|
|
be used to call into f2.
|
|
|
|
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
For practical reasons all eBPF programs have only one argument 'ctx' which is
|
2014-10-09 21:36:54 -06:00
|
|
|
already placed into R1 (e.g. on __bpf_prog_run() startup) and the programs
|
2014-05-01 09:16:03 -06:00
|
|
|
can call kernel functions with up to 5 arguments. Calls with 6 or more arguments
|
|
|
|
are currently not supported, but these restrictions can be lifted if necessary
|
|
|
|
in the future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On 64-bit architectures all register map to HW registers one to one. For
|
|
|
|
example, x86_64 JIT compiler can map them as ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
R0 - rax
|
|
|
|
R1 - rdi
|
|
|
|
R2 - rsi
|
|
|
|
R3 - rdx
|
|
|
|
R4 - rcx
|
|
|
|
R5 - r8
|
|
|
|
R6 - rbx
|
|
|
|
R7 - r13
|
|
|
|
R8 - r14
|
|
|
|
R9 - r15
|
|
|
|
R10 - rbp
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
... since x86_64 ABI mandates rdi, rsi, rdx, rcx, r8, r9 for argument passing
|
|
|
|
and rbx, r12 - r15 are callee saved.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then the following internal BPF pseudo-program:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R6, R1 /* save ctx */
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R2, 2
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R3, 3
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R4, 4
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R5, 5
|
|
|
|
bpf_call foo
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R7, R0 /* save foo() return value */
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R1, R6 /* restore ctx for next call */
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R2, 6
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R3, 7
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R4, 8
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R5, 9
|
|
|
|
bpf_call bar
|
|
|
|
bpf_add R0, R7
|
|
|
|
bpf_exit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After JIT to x86_64 may look like:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
push %rbp
|
|
|
|
mov %rsp,%rbp
|
|
|
|
sub $0x228,%rsp
|
|
|
|
mov %rbx,-0x228(%rbp)
|
|
|
|
mov %r13,-0x220(%rbp)
|
|
|
|
mov %rdi,%rbx
|
|
|
|
mov $0x2,%esi
|
|
|
|
mov $0x3,%edx
|
|
|
|
mov $0x4,%ecx
|
|
|
|
mov $0x5,%r8d
|
|
|
|
callq foo
|
|
|
|
mov %rax,%r13
|
|
|
|
mov %rbx,%rdi
|
|
|
|
mov $0x2,%esi
|
|
|
|
mov $0x3,%edx
|
|
|
|
mov $0x4,%ecx
|
|
|
|
mov $0x5,%r8d
|
|
|
|
callq bar
|
|
|
|
add %r13,%rax
|
|
|
|
mov -0x228(%rbp),%rbx
|
|
|
|
mov -0x220(%rbp),%r13
|
|
|
|
leaveq
|
|
|
|
retq
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Which is in this example equivalent in C to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
u64 bpf_filter(u64 ctx)
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
return foo(ctx, 2, 3, 4, 5) + bar(ctx, 6, 7, 8, 9);
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In-kernel functions foo() and bar() with prototype: u64 (*)(u64 arg1, u64
|
|
|
|
arg2, u64 arg3, u64 arg4, u64 arg5); will receive arguments in proper
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
registers and place their return value into '%rax' which is R0 in eBPF.
|
2014-05-01 09:16:03 -06:00
|
|
|
Prologue and epilogue are emitted by JIT and are implicit in the
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
interpreter. R0-R5 are scratch registers, so eBPF program needs to preserve
|
2014-05-01 09:16:03 -06:00
|
|
|
them across the calls as defined by calling convention.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example the following program is invalid:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R1, 1
|
|
|
|
bpf_call foo
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R0, R1
|
|
|
|
bpf_exit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the call the registers R1-R5 contain junk values and cannot be read.
|
2017-08-07 08:30:09 -06:00
|
|
|
An in-kernel eBPF verifier is used to validate internal BPF programs.
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
Also in the new design, eBPF is limited to 4096 insns, which means that any
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
program will terminate quickly and will only call a fixed number of kernel
|
|
|
|
functions. Original BPF and the new format are two operand instructions,
|
2014-06-10 09:44:06 -06:00
|
|
|
which helps to do one-to-one mapping between eBPF insn and x86 insn during JIT.
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The input context pointer for invoking the interpreter function is generic,
|
|
|
|
its content is defined by a specific use case. For seccomp register R1 points
|
|
|
|
to seccomp_data, for converted BPF filters R1 points to a skb.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A program, that is translated internally consists of the following elements:
|
|
|
|
|
2014-06-06 15:46:06 -06:00
|
|
|
op:16, jt:8, jf:8, k:32 ==> op:8, dst_reg:4, src_reg:4, off:16, imm:32
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2014-05-01 09:16:03 -06:00
|
|
|
So far 87 internal BPF instructions were implemented. 8-bit 'op' opcode field
|
|
|
|
has room for new instructions. Some of them may use 16/24/32 byte encoding. New
|
|
|
|
instructions must be multiple of 8 bytes to preserve backward compatibility.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Internal BPF is a general purpose RISC instruction set. Not every register and
|
|
|
|
every instruction are used during translation from original BPF to new format.
|
|
|
|
For example, socket filters are not using 'exclusive add' instruction, but
|
|
|
|
tracing filters may do to maintain counters of events, for example. Register R9
|
|
|
|
is not used by socket filters either, but more complex filters may be running
|
|
|
|
out of registers and would have to resort to spill/fill to stack.
|
|
|
|
|
2019-02-28 18:12:21 -07:00
|
|
|
Internal BPF can be used as a generic assembler for last step performance
|
2014-05-01 09:16:03 -06:00
|
|
|
optimizations, socket filters and seccomp are using it as assembler. Tracing
|
|
|
|
filters may use it as assembler to generate code from kernel. In kernel usage
|
|
|
|
may not be bounded by security considerations, since generated internal BPF code
|
|
|
|
may be optimizing internal code path and not being exposed to the user space.
|
|
|
|
Safety of internal BPF can come from a verifier (TBD). In such use cases as
|
|
|
|
described, it may be used as safe instruction set.
|
|
|
|
|
2014-03-28 11:58:26 -06:00
|
|
|
Just like the original BPF, the new format runs within a controlled environment,
|
|
|
|
is deterministic and the kernel can easily prove that. The safety of the program
|
|
|
|
can be determined in two steps: first step does depth-first-search to disallow
|
|
|
|
loops and other CFG validation; second step starts from the first insn and
|
|
|
|
descends all possible paths. It simulates execution of every insn and observes
|
|
|
|
the state change of registers and stack.

eBPF opcode encoding
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
eBPF is reusing most of the opcode encoding from classic to simplify conversion
|
|
|
|
of classic BPF to eBPF. For arithmetic and jump instructions the 8-bit 'code'
|
|
|
|
field is divided into three parts:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
+----------------+--------+--------------------+
|
|

bpf: add BPF_J{LT,LE,SLT,SLE} instructions
Currently, eBPF only understands BPF_JGT (>), BPF_JGE (>=),
BPF_JSGT (s>), BPF_JSGE (s>=) instructions, this means that
particularly *JLT/*JLE counterparts involving immediates need
to be rewritten from e.g. X < [IMM] by swapping arguments into
[IMM] > X, meaning the immediate first is required to be loaded
into a register Y := [IMM], such that then we can compare with
Y > X. Note that the destination operand is always required to
be a register.
This has the downside of having unnecessarily increased register
pressure, meaning complex program would need to spill other
registers temporarily to stack in order to obtain an unused
register for the [IMM]. Loading to registers will thus also
affect state pruning since we need to account for that register
use and potentially those registers that had to be spilled/filled
again. As a consequence slightly more stack space might have
been used due to spilling, and BPF programs are a bit longer
due to extra code involving the register load and potentially
required spill/fills.
Thus, add BPF_JLT (<), BPF_JLE (<=), BPF_JSLT (s<), BPF_JSLE (s<=)
counterparts to the eBPF instruction set. Modifying LLVM to
remove the NegateCC() workaround in a PoC patch at [1] and
allowing it to also emit the new instructions resulted in
cilium's BPF programs that are injected into the fast-path to
have a reduced program length in the range of 2-3% (e.g.
accumulated main and tail call sections from one of the object
file reduced from 4864 to 4729 insns), reduced complexity in
the range of 10-30% (e.g. accumulated sections reduced in one
of the cases from 116432 to 88428 insns), and reduced stack
usage in the range of 1-5% (e.g. accumulated sections from one
of the object files reduced from 824 to 784b).
The modification for LLVM will be incorporated in a backwards
compatible way. Plan is for LLVM to have i) a target specific
option to offer a possibility to explicitly enable the extension
by the user (as we have with -m target specific extensions today
for various CPU insns), and ii) have the kernel checked for
presence of the extensions and enable them transparently when
the user is selecting more aggressive options such as -march=native
in a bpf target context. (Other frontends generating BPF byte
code, e.g. ply can probe the kernel directly for its code
generation.)

So BPF_ADD | BPF_X | BPF_ALU means 32-bit addition in both classic BPF
|
|
|
|
and eBPF. There are only two registers in classic BPF, so it means A += X.
|
|
|
|
In eBPF it means dst_reg = (u32) dst_reg + (u32) src_reg; similarly,
|
|
|
|
BPF_XOR | BPF_K | BPF_ALU means A ^= imm32 in classic BPF and analogous
|
|
|
|
src_reg = (u32) src_reg ^ (u32) imm32 in eBPF.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Classic BPF is using BPF_MISC class to represent A = X and X = A moves.
|
|
|
|
eBPF is using BPF_MOV | BPF_X | BPF_ALU code instead. Since there are no
|
|
|
|
BPF_MISC operations in eBPF, the class 7 is used as BPF_ALU64 to mean
|
|
|
|
exactly the same operations as BPF_ALU, but with 64-bit wide operands
|
|
|
|
instead. So BPF_ADD | BPF_X | BPF_ALU64 means 64-bit addition, i.e.:
|
|
|
|
dst_reg = dst_reg + src_reg
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Classic BPF wastes the whole BPF_RET class to represent a single 'ret'
|
|
|
|
operation. Classic BPF_RET | BPF_K means copy imm32 into return register
|
|
|
|
and perform function exit. eBPF is modeled to match CPU, so BPF_JMP | BPF_EXIT
|
|
|
|
in eBPF means function exit only. The eBPF program needs to store return
|
2019-01-26 10:25:59 -07:00
|
|
|
value into register R0 before doing a BPF_EXIT. Class 6 in eBPF is used as
|
|
|
|
BPF_JMP32 to mean exactly the same operations as BPF_JMP, but with 32-bit wide
|
|
|
|
operands for the comparisons instead.

For load and store instructions the 8-bit 'code' field is divided as:

BPF_W 0x00 /* word */

BPF_H 0x08 /* half word */

|
|
|
|
BPF_DW 0x18 /* eBPF only, double word */
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
... which encodes size of load/store operation:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
B - 1 byte
|
|
|
|
H - 2 byte
|
|
|
|
W - 4 byte
|
|
|
|
DW - 8 byte (eBPF only)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mode modifier is one of:
|
|
|
|
|
net: filter: add "load 64-bit immediate" eBPF instruction
add BPF_LD_IMM64 instruction to load 64-bit immediate value into a register.
All previous instructions were 8-byte. This is first 16-byte instruction.
Two consecutive 'struct bpf_insn' blocks are interpreted as single instruction:
insn[0].code = BPF_LD | BPF_DW | BPF_IMM
insn[0].dst_reg = destination register
insn[0].imm = lower 32-bit
insn[1].code = 0
insn[1].imm = upper 32-bit
All unused fields must be zero.
Classic BPF has similar instruction: BPF_LD | BPF_W | BPF_IMM
which loads 32-bit immediate value into a register.
x64 JITs it as single 'movabsq %rax, imm64'
arm64 may JIT as sequence of four 'movk x0, #imm16, lsl #shift' insn
Note that old eBPF programs are binary compatible with new interpreter.
It helps eBPF programs load 64-bit constant into a register with one
instruction instead of using two registers and 4 instructions:
BPF_MOV32_IMM(R1, imm32)
BPF_ALU64_IMM(BPF_LSH, R1, 32)
BPF_MOV32_IMM(R2, imm32)
BPF_ALU64_REG(BPF_OR, R1, R2)
User space generated programs will use this instruction to load constants only.
To tell kernel that user space needs a pointer the _pseudo_ variant of
this instruction may be added later, which will use extra bits of encoding
to indicate what type of pointer user space is asking kernel to provide.
For example 'off' or 'src_reg' fields can be used for such purpose.
src_reg = 1 could mean that user space is asking kernel to validate and
load in-kernel map pointer.
src_reg = 2 could mean that user space needs readonly data section pointer
src_reg = 3 could mean that user space needs a pointer to per-cpu local data
All such future pseudo instructions will not be carrying the actual pointer
as part of the instruction, but rather will be treated as a request to kernel
to provide one. The kernel will verify the request_for_a_pointer, then
will drop _pseudo_ marking and will store actual internal pointer inside
the instruction, so the end result is the interpreter and JITs never
see pseudo BPF_LD_IMM64 insns and only operate on generic BPF_LD_IMM64 that
loads 64-bit immediate into a register. User space never operates on direct
pointers and verifier can easily recognize request_for_pointer vs other
instructions.

eBPF has two non-generic instructions: (BPF_ABS | <size> | BPF_LD) and
|
|
|
|
(BPF_IND | <size> | BPF_LD) which are used to access packet data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They had to be carried over from classic to have strong performance of
|
|
|
|
socket filters running in eBPF interpreter. These instructions can only
|
|
|
|
be used when interpreter context is a pointer to 'struct sk_buff' and
|
|
|
|
have seven implicit operands. Register R6 is an implicit input that must
|
|
|
|
contain pointer to sk_buff. Register R0 is an implicit output which contains
|
|
|
|
the data fetched from the packet. Registers R1-R5 are scratch registers
|
|
|
|
and must not be used to store the data across BPF_ABS | BPF_LD or
|
|
|
|
BPF_IND | BPF_LD instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These instructions have implicit program exit condition as well. When
|
|
|
|
eBPF program is trying to access the data beyond the packet boundary,
|
|
|
|
the interpreter will abort the execution of the program. JIT compilers
|
|
|
|
therefore must preserve this property. src_reg and imm32 fields are
|
|
|
|
explicit inputs to these instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
BPF_IND | BPF_W | BPF_LD means:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
R0 = ntohl(*(u32 *) (((struct sk_buff *) R6)->data + src_reg + imm32))
|
|
|
|
and R1 - R5 were scratched.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike classic BPF instruction set, eBPF has generic load/store operations:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
BPF_MEM | <size> | BPF_STX: *(size *) (dst_reg + off) = src_reg
|
|
|
|
BPF_MEM | <size> | BPF_ST: *(size *) (dst_reg + off) = imm32
|
|
|
|
BPF_MEM | <size> | BPF_LDX: dst_reg = *(size *) (src_reg + off)
|
|
|
|
BPF_XADD | BPF_W | BPF_STX: lock xadd *(u32 *)(dst_reg + off16) += src_reg
|
|
|
|
BPF_XADD | BPF_DW | BPF_STX: lock xadd *(u64 *)(dst_reg + off16) += src_reg
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Where size is one of: BPF_B or BPF_H or BPF_W or BPF_DW. Note that 1 and
|
|
|
|
2 byte atomic increments are not supported.
|
|
|
|
|

eBPF verifier
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The safety of the eBPF program is determined in two steps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First step does DAG check to disallow loops and other CFG validation.
|
|
|
|
In particular it will detect programs that have unreachable instructions.
|
|
|
|
(though classic BPF checker allows them)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Second step starts from the first insn and descends all possible paths.
|
|
|
|
It simulates execution of every insn and observes the state change of
|
|
|
|
registers and stack.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the start of the program the register R1 contains a pointer to context
|
|
|
|
and has type PTR_TO_CTX.
|
|
|
|
If verifier sees an insn that does R2=R1, then R2 has now type
|
|
|
|
PTR_TO_CTX as well and can be used on the right hand side of expression.
|
2017-08-07 08:30:09 -06:00
|
|
|
If R1=PTR_TO_CTX and insn is R2=R1+R1, then R2=SCALAR_VALUE,
|
2014-09-26 01:17:02 -06:00
|
|
|
since addition of two valid pointers makes invalid pointer.
|
|
|
|
(In 'secure' mode verifier will reject any type of pointer arithmetic to make
|
|
|
|
sure that kernel addresses don't leak to unprivileged users)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If register was never written to, it's not readable:
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R0 = R2
|
|
|
|
bpf_exit
|
|
|
|
will be rejected, since R2 is unreadable at the start of the program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After kernel function call, R1-R5 are reset to unreadable and
|
|
|
|
R0 has a return type of the function.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since R6-R9 are callee saved, their state is preserved across the call.
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R6 = 1
|
|
|
|
bpf_call foo
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R0 = R6
|
|
|
|
bpf_exit
|
|
|
|
is a correct program. If there was R1 instead of R6, it would have
|
|
|
|
been rejected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
load/store instructions are allowed only with registers of valid types, which
|
2017-08-07 08:30:09 -06:00
|
|
|
are PTR_TO_CTX, PTR_TO_MAP, PTR_TO_STACK. They are bounds and alignment checked.
|
2014-09-26 01:17:02 -06:00
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R1 = 1
|
|
|
|
bpf_mov R2 = 2
|
|
|
|
bpf_xadd *(u32 *)(R1 + 3) += R2
|
|
|
|
bpf_exit
|
|
|
|
will be rejected, since R1 doesn't have a valid pointer type at the time of
|
|
|
|
execution of instruction bpf_xadd.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the start R1 type is PTR_TO_CTX (a pointer to generic 'struct bpf_context')
|
|
|
|
A callback is used to customize verifier to restrict eBPF program access to only
|
|
|
|
certain fields within ctx structure with specified size and alignment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, the following insn:
|
|
|
|
bpf_ld R0 = *(u32 *)(R6 + 8)
|
|
|
|
intends to load a word from address R6 + 8 and store it into R0
|
|
|
|
If R6=PTR_TO_CTX, via is_valid_access() callback the verifier will know
|
|
|
|
that offset 8 of size 4 bytes can be accessed for reading, otherwise
|
|
|
|
the verifier will reject the program.
|
2017-08-07 08:30:09 -06:00
|
|
|
If R6=PTR_TO_STACK, then access should be aligned and be within
|
2014-09-26 01:17:02 -06:00
|
|
|
stack bounds, which are [-MAX_BPF_STACK, 0). In this example offset is 8,
|
|
|
|
so it will fail verification, since it's out of bounds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The verifier will allow eBPF program to read data from stack only after
|
|
|
|
it wrote into it.
|
|
|
|
Classic BPF verifier does similar check with M[0-15] memory slots.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
bpf_ld R0 = *(u32 *)(R10 - 4)
|
|
|
|
bpf_exit
|
|
|
|
is invalid program.
|
2017-08-07 08:30:09 -06:00
|
|
|
Though R10 is correct read-only register and has type PTR_TO_STACK
|
2014-09-26 01:17:02 -06:00
|
|
|
and R10 - 4 is within stack bounds, there were no stores into that location.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pointer register spill/fill is tracked as well, since four (R6-R9)
|
|
|
|
callee saved registers may not be enough for some programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Allowed function calls are customized with bpf_verifier_ops->get_func_proto()
|
|
|
|
The eBPF verifier will check that registers match argument constraints.
|
|
|
|
After the call register R0 will be set to return type of the function.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Function calls is a main mechanism to extend functionality of eBPF programs.
|
|
|
|
Socket filters may let programs to call one set of functions, whereas tracing
|
|
|
|
filters may allow completely different set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a function made accessible to eBPF program, it needs to be thought through
|
|
|
|
from safety point of view. The verifier will guarantee that the function is
|
|
|
|
called with valid arguments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
seccomp vs socket filters have different security restrictions for classic BPF.
|
|
|
|
Seccomp solves this by two stage verifier: classic BPF verifier is followed
|
|
|
|
by seccomp verifier. In case of eBPF one configurable verifier is shared for
|
|
|
|
all use cases.

|
Register value tracking
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to determine the safety of an eBPF program, the verifier must track
|
|
|
|
the range of possible values in each register and also in each stack slot.
|
|
|
|
This is done with 'struct bpf_reg_state', defined in include/linux/
|
|
|
|
bpf_verifier.h, which unifies tracking of scalar and pointer values. Each
|
|
|
|
register state has a type, which is either NOT_INIT (the register has not been
|
|
|
|
written to), SCALAR_VALUE (some value which is not usable as a pointer), or a
|
|
|
|
pointer type. The types of pointers describe their base, as follows:
|
|
|
|
PTR_TO_CTX Pointer to bpf_context.
|
|
|
|
CONST_PTR_TO_MAP Pointer to struct bpf_map. "Const" because arithmetic
|
|
|
|
on these pointers is forbidden.
|
|
|
|
PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE Pointer to the value stored in a map element.
|
|
|
|
PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL
|
|
|
|
Either a pointer to a map value, or NULL; map accesses
|
|
|
|
(see section 'eBPF maps', below) return this type,
|
|
|
|
which becomes a PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE when checked != NULL.
|
|
|
|
Arithmetic on these pointers is forbidden.
|
|
|
|
PTR_TO_STACK Frame pointer.
|
|
|
|
PTR_TO_PACKET skb->data.
|
|
|
|
PTR_TO_PACKET_END skb->data + headlen; arithmetic forbidden.
|
2018-10-02 14:35:41 -06:00
|
|
|
PTR_TO_SOCKET Pointer to struct bpf_sock_ops, implicitly refcounted.
|
|
|
|
PTR_TO_SOCKET_OR_NULL
|
|
|
|
Either a pointer to a socket, or NULL; socket lookup
|
|
|
|
returns this type, which becomes a PTR_TO_SOCKET when
|
|
|
|
checked != NULL. PTR_TO_SOCKET is reference-counted,
|
|
|
|
so programs must release the reference through the
|
|
|
|
socket release function before the end of the program.
|
|
|
|
Arithmetic on these pointers is forbidden.
|
2017-08-07 08:30:09 -06:00
|
|
|
However, a pointer may be offset from this base (as a result of pointer
|
|
|
|
arithmetic), and this is tracked in two parts: the 'fixed offset' and 'variable
|
|
|
|
offset'. The former is used when an exactly-known value (e.g. an immediate
|
|
|
|
operand) is added to a pointer, while the latter is used for values which are
|
|
|
|
not exactly known. The variable offset is also used in SCALAR_VALUEs, to track
|
|
|
|
the range of possible values in the register.
|
|
|
|
The verifier's knowledge about the variable offset consists of:
|
|
|
|
* minimum and maximum values as unsigned
|
|
|
|
* minimum and maximum values as signed
|
|
|
|
* knowledge of the values of individual bits, in the form of a 'tnum': a u64
|
|
|
|
'mask' and a u64 'value'. 1s in the mask represent bits whose value is unknown;
|
|
|
|
1s in the value represent bits known to be 1. Bits known to be 0 have 0 in both
|
|
|
|
mask and value; no bit should ever be 1 in both. For example, if a byte is read
|
|
|
|
into a register from memory, the register's top 56 bits are known zero, while
|
|
|
|
the low 8 are unknown - which is represented as the tnum (0x0; 0xff). If we
|
2018-01-24 00:48:26 -07:00
|
|
|
then OR this with 0x40, we get (0x40; 0xbf), then if we add 1 we get (0x0;
|
2017-08-07 08:30:09 -06:00
|
|
|
0x1ff), because of potential carries.
|
2018-05-09 21:09:21 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2017-08-07 08:30:09 -06:00
|
|
|
Besides arithmetic, the register state can also be updated by conditional
|
|
|
|
branches. For instance, if a SCALAR_VALUE is compared > 8, in the 'true' branch
|
|
|
|
it will have a umin_value (unsigned minimum value) of 9, whereas in the 'false'
|
|
|
|
branch it will have a umax_value of 8. A signed compare (with BPF_JSGT or
|
|
|
|
BPF_JSGE) would instead update the signed minimum/maximum values. Information
|
|
|
|
from the signed and unsigned bounds can be combined; for instance if a value is
|
|
|
|
first tested < 8 and then tested s> 4, the verifier will conclude that the value
|
|
|
|
is also > 4 and s< 8, since the bounds prevent crossing the sign boundary.
|

|
|
|
|
2017-08-07 08:30:09 -06:00
|
|
|
PTR_TO_PACKETs with a variable offset part have an 'id', which is common to all
|
|
|
|
pointers sharing that same variable offset. This is important for packet range
|
2018-05-09 21:09:21 -06:00
|
|
|
checks: after adding a variable to a packet pointer register A, if you then copy
|
|
|
|
it to another register B and then add a constant 4 to A, both registers will
|
|
|
|
share the same 'id' but the A will have a fixed offset of +4. Then if A is
|
|
|
|
bounds-checked and found to be less than a PTR_TO_PACKET_END, the register B is
|
|
|
|
now known to have a safe range of at least 4 bytes. See 'Direct packet access',
|
|
|
|
below, for more on PTR_TO_PACKET ranges.
|
|
|
|
|
2017-08-07 08:30:09 -06:00
|
|
|
The 'id' field is also used on PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL, common to all copies of
|
|
|
|
the pointer returned from a map lookup. This means that when one copy is
|
|
|
|
checked and found to be non-NULL, all copies can become PTR_TO_MAP_VALUEs.
|
|
|
|
As well as range-checking, the tracked information is also used for enforcing
|
|
|
|
alignment of pointer accesses. For instance, on most systems the packet pointer
|
|
|
|
is 2 bytes after a 4-byte alignment. If a program adds 14 bytes to that to jump
|
|
|
|
over the Ethernet header, then reads IHL and addes (IHL * 4), the resulting
|
|
|
|
pointer will have a variable offset known to be 4n+2 for some n, so adding the 2
|
|
|
|
bytes (NET_IP_ALIGN) gives a 4-byte alignment and so word-sized accesses through
|
|
|
|
that pointer are safe.
|
2018-10-02 14:35:41 -06:00
|
|
|
The 'id' field is also used on PTR_TO_SOCKET and PTR_TO_SOCKET_OR_NULL, common
|
|
|
|
to all copies of the pointer returned from a socket lookup. This has similar
|
|
|
|
behaviour to the handling for PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL->PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE, but
|
|
|
|
it also handles reference tracking for the pointer. PTR_TO_SOCKET implicitly
|
|
|
|
represents a reference to the corresponding 'struct sock'. To ensure that the
|
|
|
|
reference is not leaked, it is imperative to NULL-check the reference and in
|
|
|
|
the non-NULL case, and pass the valid reference to the socket release function.

Direct packet access
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
In cls_bpf and act_bpf programs the verifier allows direct access to the packet
|
|
|
|
data via skb->data and skb->data_end pointers.
|
|
|
|
Ex:
|
|
|
|
1: r4 = *(u32 *)(r1 +80) /* load skb->data_end */
|
|
|
|
2: r3 = *(u32 *)(r1 +76) /* load skb->data */
|
|
|
|
3: r5 = r3
|
|
|
|
4: r5 += 14
|
|
|
|
5: if r5 > r4 goto pc+16
|
|
|
|
R1=ctx R3=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=14) R4=pkt_end R5=pkt(id=0,off=14,r=14) R10=fp
|
|
|
|
6: r0 = *(u16 *)(r3 +12) /* access 12 and 13 bytes of the packet */
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this 2byte load from the packet is safe to do, since the program author
|
|
|
|
did check 'if (skb->data + 14 > skb->data_end) goto err' at insn #5 which
|
|
|
|
means that in the fall-through case the register R3 (which points to skb->data)
|
|
|
|
has at least 14 directly accessible bytes. The verifier marks it
|
|
|
|
as R3=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=14).
|
|
|
|
id=0 means that no additional variables were added to the register.
|
|
|
|
off=0 means that no additional constants were added.
|
|
|
|
r=14 is the range of safe access which means that bytes [R3, R3 + 14) are ok.
|
|
|
|
Note that R5 is marked as R5=pkt(id=0,off=14,r=14). It also points
|
|
|
|
to the packet data, but constant 14 was added to the register, so
|
|
|
|
it now points to 'skb->data + 14' and accessible range is [R5, R5 + 14 - 14)
|
|
|
|
which is zero bytes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
More complex packet access may look like:
|
2017-08-07 08:30:09 -06:00
|
|
|
R0=inv1 R1=ctx R3=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=14) R4=pkt_end R5=pkt(id=0,off=14,r=14) R10=fp
|
2016-05-05 20:49:13 -06:00
|
|
|
6: r0 = *(u8 *)(r3 +7) /* load 7th byte from the packet */
|
|
|
|
7: r4 = *(u8 *)(r3 +12)
|
|
|
|
8: r4 *= 14
|
|
|
|
9: r3 = *(u32 *)(r1 +76) /* load skb->data */
|
|
|
|
10: r3 += r4
|
|
|
|
11: r2 = r1
|
|
|
|
12: r2 <<= 48
|
|
|
|
13: r2 >>= 48
|
|
|
|
14: r3 += r2
|
|
|
|
15: r2 = r3
|
|
|
|
16: r2 += 8
|
|
|
|
17: r1 = *(u32 *)(r1 +80) /* load skb->data_end */
|
|
|
|
18: if r2 > r1 goto pc+2
|
2017-08-07 08:30:09 -06:00
|
|
|
R0=inv(id=0,umax_value=255,var_off=(0x0; 0xff)) R1=pkt_end R2=pkt(id=2,off=8,r=8) R3=pkt(id=2,off=0,r=8) R4=inv(id=0,umax_value=3570,var_off=(0x0; 0xfffe)) R5=pkt(id=0,off=14,r=14) R10=fp
|
2016-05-05 20:49:13 -06:00
|
|
|
19: r1 = *(u8 *)(r3 +4)
|
|
|
|
The state of the register R3 is R3=pkt(id=2,off=0,r=8)
|
|
|
|
id=2 means that two 'r3 += rX' instructions were seen, so r3 points to some
|
|
|
|
offset within a packet and since the program author did
|
|
|
|
'if (r3 + 8 > r1) goto err' at insn #18, the safe range is [R3, R3 + 8).
|
2017-08-07 08:30:09 -06:00
|
|
|
The verifier only allows 'add'/'sub' operations on packet registers. Any other
|
|
|
|
operation will set the register state to 'SCALAR_VALUE' and it won't be
|
2016-05-05 20:49:13 -06:00
|
|
|
available for direct packet access.
|
|
|
|
Operation 'r3 += rX' may overflow and become less than original skb->data,
|
2017-08-07 08:30:09 -06:00
|
|
|
therefore the verifier has to prevent that. So when it sees 'r3 += rX'
|
|
|
|
instruction and rX is more than 16-bit value, any subsequent bounds-check of r3
|
|
|
|
against skb->data_end will not give us 'range' information, so attempts to read
|
|
|
|
through the pointer will give "invalid access to packet" error.
|
2016-05-05 20:49:13 -06:00
|
|
|
Ex. after insn 'r4 = *(u8 *)(r3 +12)' (insn #7 above) the state of r4 is
|
2017-08-07 08:30:09 -06:00
|
|
|
R4=inv(id=0,umax_value=255,var_off=(0x0; 0xff)) which means that upper 56 bits
|
|
|
|
of the register are guaranteed to be zero, and nothing is known about the lower
|
|
|
|
8 bits. After insn 'r4 *= 14' the state becomes
|
|
|
|
R4=inv(id=0,umax_value=3570,var_off=(0x0; 0xfffe)), since multiplying an 8-bit
|
|
|
|
value by constant 14 will keep upper 52 bits as zero, also the least significant
|
|
|
|
bit will be zero as 14 is even. Similarly 'r2 >>= 48' will make
|
|
|
|
R2=inv(id=0,umax_value=65535,var_off=(0x0; 0xffff)), since the shift is not sign
|
|
|
|
extending. This logic is implemented in adjust_reg_min_max_vals() function,
|
|
|
|
which calls adjust_ptr_min_max_vals() for adding pointer to scalar (or vice
|
|
|
|
versa) and adjust_scalar_min_max_vals() for operations on two scalars.
|
2016-05-05 20:49:13 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The end result is that bpf program author can access packet directly
|
|
|
|
using normal C code as:
|
|
|
|
void *data = (void *)(long)skb->data;
|
|
|
|
void *data_end = (void *)(long)skb->data_end;
|
|
|
|
struct eth_hdr *eth = data;
|
|
|
|
struct iphdr *iph = data + sizeof(*eth);
|
|
|
|
struct udphdr *udp = data + sizeof(*eth) + sizeof(*iph);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if (data + sizeof(*eth) + sizeof(*iph) + sizeof(*udp) > data_end)
|
|
|
|
return 0;
|
|
|
|
if (eth->h_proto != htons(ETH_P_IP))
|
|
|
|
return 0;
|
|
|
|
if (iph->protocol != IPPROTO_UDP || iph->ihl != 5)
|
|
|
|
return 0;
|
|
|
|
if (udp->dest == 53 || udp->source == 9)
|
|
|
|
...;
|
|
|
|
which makes such programs easier to write comparing to LD_ABS insn
|
|
|
|
and significantly faster.

eBPF maps
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
'maps' is a generic storage of different types for sharing data between kernel
|
|
|
|
and userspace.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The maps are accessed from user space via BPF syscall, which has commands:
|
|
|
|
- create a map with given type and attributes
|
|
|
|
map_fd = bpf(BPF_MAP_CREATE, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
|
|
|
|
using attr->map_type, attr->key_size, attr->value_size, attr->max_entries
|
|
|
|
returns process-local file descriptor or negative error
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- lookup key in a given map
|
|
|
|
err = bpf(BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
|
|
|
|
using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->value
|
|
|
|
returns zero and stores found elem into value or negative error
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- create or update key/value pair in a given map
|
|
|
|
err = bpf(BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
|
|
|
|
using attr->map_fd, attr->key, attr->value
|
|
|
|
returns zero or negative error
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- find and delete element by key in a given map
|
|
|
|
err = bpf(BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM, union bpf_attr *attr, u32 size)
|
|
|
|
using attr->map_fd, attr->key
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- to delete map: close(fd)
|
|
|
|
Exiting process will delete maps automatically
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
userspace programs use this syscall to create/access maps that eBPF programs
|
|
|
|
are concurrently updating.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
maps can have different types: hash, array, bloom filter, radix-tree, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The map is defined by:
|
|
|
|
. type
|
|
|
|
. max number of elements
|
|
|
|
. key size in bytes
|
|
|
|
. value size in bytes
|

Pruning
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The verifier does not actually walk all possible paths through the program. For
|
|
|
|
each new branch to analyse, the verifier looks at all the states it's previously
|
|
|
|
been in when at this instruction. If any of them contain the current state as a
|
|
|
|
subset, the branch is 'pruned' - that is, the fact that the previous state was
|
|
|
|
accepted implies the current state would be as well. For instance, if in the
|
|

|
previous state, r1 held a packet-pointer, and in the current state, r1 holds a
|
|
|
|
packet-pointer with a range as long or longer and at least as strict an
|
|
|
|
alignment, then r1 is safe. Similarly, if r2 was NOT_INIT before then it can't
|
|
|
|
have been used by any path from that point, so any value in r2 (including
|
|
|
|
another NOT_INIT) is safe. The implementation is in the function regsafe().
|
|
|
|
Pruning considers not only the registers but also the stack (and any spilled
|
|
|
|
registers it may hold). They must all be safe for the branch to be pruned.
|
|
|
|
This is implemented in states_equal().

Understanding eBPF verifier messages
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following are few examples of invalid eBPF programs and verifier error

Testing
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next to the BPF toolchain, the kernel also ships a test module that contains
|
|
|
|
various test cases for classic and internal BPF that can be executed against
|
|
|
|
the BPF interpreter and JIT compiler. It can be found in lib/test_bpf.c and
|
|
|
|
enabled via Kconfig:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_TEST_BPF=m
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the module has been built and installed, the test suite can be executed
|
|
|
|
via insmod or modprobe against 'test_bpf' module. Results of the test cases
|
|
|
|
including timings in nsec can be found in the kernel log (dmesg).

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also trinity, the Linux syscall fuzzer, has built-in support for BPF and
