PATCH v2 1/1 bpf: Replace bpf_lpm_trie_key 0-length array with flexible array

Replace deprecated 0-length array in struct bpf_lpm_trie_key with flexible array. Found with GCC 13:

../kernel/bpf/lpm_trie.c:207:51: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of 'const __u8[0]' {aka 'const unsigned char[]'} [-Warray-bounds=]
207 | *(__be16 *)&key->data[i]);

      |                            ^~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from ../include/linux/bpf.h:7:
../include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:82:17: note: while referencing 'data'
   82 |         __u8    data[0];        /* Arbitrary size */
      |                 ^~~~

And found at run-time under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE:

  UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in kernel/bpf/lpm_trie.c:218:49
  index 0 is out of range for type '__u8 [*]'

This includes fixing the selftest which was incorrectly using a variable length struct as a header, identified earlier[1]. Avoid this by just explicitly including the prefixlen member instead of struct bpf_lpm_trie_key.

Note that it is not possible to simply remove the "data" member, as it is referenced by userspace

cilium:

        struct egress_gw_policy_key in_key = {
                .lpm_key = { 32 + 24, {} },
                .saddr   = CLIENT_IP,
                .daddr   = EXTERNAL_SVC_IP & 0Xffffff,
        };

systemd:

	ipv6_map_fd = bpf_map_new(
			BPF_MAP_TYPE_LPM_TRIE,
			offsetof(struct bpf_lpm_trie_key, data) + sizeof(uint32_t)*4,
			sizeof(uint64_t),
			...

The only risk to UAPI would be if sizeof() were used directly on the data member, which it does not seem to be. It is only used as a static initializer destination and to find its location via offsetof().

Yup, but that's why I included the run-time splat above too. :)

I don't quite follow, this basically undoes 3024d95a4c52 ("bpf: Partially revert flexible-array member replacement") again with the small change that this 'fixes' up the BPF selftest to not embed struct bpf_lpm_trie_key.

Outside of BPF selftests though aren't we readding the same error that we fixed earlier for BPF programs in the wild which embed struct bpf_lpm_trie_key into their key structure?

Thanks,
