Masahiro Yamada dccd3ab55e bpfilter: re-add header search paths to tools include to fix build error
I thought header search paths to tools/include(/uapi) were unneeded,
but it looks like a build error occurs depending on the compiler.

Commit 303a339f30 ("bpfilter: remove extra header search paths for
bpfilter_umh") reintroduced the build error fixed by commit ae40832e53
("bpfilter: fix a build err").

Apology for the breakage, and thanks to Guenter for reporting this.

Masahiro Yamada 303a339f30 bpfilter: remove extra header search paths for bpfilter_umh
Currently, the header search paths -Itools/include and
-Itools/include/uapi are not used. Let's drop the unused code.

We can remove -I. too by fixing up one C file.

Taehee Yoo 1a9352687c net: bpfilter: change section name of bpfilter UMH blob.
The section of bpfilter UMH blob is the ".bpfilter_umh". but this is not
an explicit section. so linking warning occurred at compile time for the
powerpc.
So, this patch makes use of the ".rodata" instead of the ".bpfilter_umh".

Config condition:

CONFIG_BPFILTER=y
CONFIG_BPFILTER_UMH=y

Result:

ld: warning: orphan section `.bpfilter_umh' from
`net/bpfilter/bpfilter_umh_blob.o' being placed in section `.bpfilter_umh'

Taehee Yoo 71a8508402 net: bpfilter: disallow to remove bpfilter module while being used
The bpfilter.ko module can be removed while functions of the bpfilter.ko
are executing. so panic can occurred. in order to protect that, locks can
be used. a bpfilter_lock protects routines in the
__bpfilter_process_sockopt() but it's not enough because __exit routine
can be executed concurrently.

Now, the bpfilter_umh can not run in parallel.
So, the module do not removed while it's being used and it do not
double-create UMH process.
The members of the umh_info and the bpfilter_umh_ops are protected by
the bpfilter_umh_ops.lock.

test commands:
   while :
   do
	iptables -I FORWARD -m string --string ap --algo kmp &
	modprobe -rv bpfilter &
   done

Taehee Yoo 61fbf5933d net: bpfilter: restart bpfilter_umh when error occurred
The bpfilter_umh will be stopped via __stop_umh() when the bpfilter
error occurred.
The bpfilter_umh() couldn't start again because there is no restart
routine.

The section of the bpfilter_umh_{start/end} is no longer .init.rodata
because these area should be reused in the restart routine. hence
the section name is changed to .bpfilter_umh.

The bpfilter_ops->start() is restart callback. it will be called when
bpfilter_umh is stopped.
The stop bit means bpfilter_umh is stopped. this bit is set by both
start and stop routine.

Before this patch,
Test commands:
   $ iptables -vnL
   $ kill -9 <pid of bpfilter_umh>
   $ iptables -vnL
   [  480.045136] bpfilter: write fail -32
   $ iptables -vnL

All iptables commands will fail.

After this patch,
Test commands:
   $ iptables -vnL
   $ kill -9 <pid of bpfilter_umh>
   $ iptables -vnL
   $ iptables -vnL

Now, all iptables commands will work.

Taehee Yoo 84258438e8 net: bpfilter: use get_pid_task instead of pid_task
pid_task() dereferences rcu protected tasks array.
But there is no rcu_read_lock() in shutdown_umh() routine so that
rcu_read_lock() is needed.
get_pid_task() is wrapper function of pid_task. it holds rcu_read_lock()
then calls pid_task(). if task isn't NULL, it increases reference count
of task.

   %modprobe bpfilter
   %modprobe -rv bpfilter

Arnd Bergmann d71dbdaa2d bpfilter: fix building without CONFIG_INET
bpfilter_process_sockopt is a callback that gets called from
ip_setsockopt() and ip_getsockopt(). However, when CONFIG_INET is
disabled, it never gets called at all, and assigning a function to the
callback pointer results in a link failure:

net/bpfilter/bpfilter_kern.o: In function `__stop_umh':
bpfilter_kern.c:(.text.unlikely+0x3): undefined reference to `bpfilter_process_sockopt'
net/bpfilter/bpfilter_kern.o: In function `load_umh':
bpfilter_kern.c:(.init.text+0x73): undefined reference to `bpfilter_process_sockopt'

Since there is no caller in this configuration, I assume we can
simply make the assignment conditional.

Jakub Kicinski 13405468f4 bpfilter: don't pass O_CREAT when opening console for debug
Passing O_CREAT (00000100) to open means we should also pass file
mode as the third parameter.  Creating /dev/console as a regular
file may not be helpful anyway, so simply drop the flag when
opening debug_fd.

Alexei Starovoitov d2ba09c17a net: add skeleton of bpfilter kernel module
bpfilter.ko consists of bpfilter_kern.c (normal kernel module code)
and user mode helper code that is embedded into bpfilter.ko

The steps to build bpfilter.ko are the following:
- main.c is compiled by HOSTCC into the bpfilter_umh elf executable file
- with quite a bit of objcopy and Makefile magic the bpfilter_umh elf file
  is converted into bpfilter_umh.o object file
  with _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start and _end symbols
  Example:
  $ nm ./bld_x64/net/bpfilter/bpfilter_umh.o
  0000000000004cf8 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_end
  0000000000004cf8 A _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_size
  0000000000000000 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start
- bpfilter_umh.o and bpfilter_kern.o are linked together into bpfilter.ko

bpfilter_kern.c is a normal kernel module code that calls
the fork_usermode_blob() helper to execute part of its own data
as a user mode process.

Notice that _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start - end
is placed into .init.rodata section, so it's freed as soon as __init
function of bpfilter.ko is finished.
As part of __init the bpfilter.ko does first request/reply action
via two unix pipe provided by fork_usermode_blob() helper to
make sure that umh is healthy. If not it will kill it via pid.

Later bpfilter_process_sockopt() will be called from bpfilter hooks
in get/setsockopt() to pass iptable commands into umh via bpfilter.ko

If admin does 'rmmod bpfilter' the __exit code bpfilter.ko will
kill umh as well.
