v4 cover ftrace: host klp and bpf trampoline together

Changes v3 => v4:
1. Fix build errors for different config. (kernel test robot)

Changes v2 => v3:
1. Major rewrite after discussions with Steven Rostedt. [1]
2. Remove SHARE_IPMODIFY flag from ftrace code. Instead use the callback function to communicate this information. (Steven)
3. Add cleanup_direct_functions_after_ipmodify() to clear SHARE_IPMODIFY on the DIRECT ops when the IPMODIFY ops is removed.

Changes v1 => v2:
1. Fix build errors for different config. (kernel test robot)

Kernel Live Patch (livepatch, or klp) and bpf trampoline are important features for modern systems. This set allows the two to work on the same kernel function as the same time.

live patch uses ftrace with IPMODIFY, while bpf trampoline use direct ftrace. Existing policy does not allow the two to attach to the same kernel function. This is changed by fine tuning ftrace IPMODIFY policy, and allows one IPMODIFY ftrace_ops and one DIRECT ftrace_ops on the same kernel function at the same time. Please see patch 2 and 4 for more details.

Note that, one of the constraint here is to let bpf trampoline use direct call when it is not working on the same function as live patch. This is achieved by allowing ftrace code to ask bpf trampoline to make changes.

PATCH v4 1/4 ftrace: add modify_ftrace_direct_multi_nolock

This is similar to modify_ftrace_direct_multi, but does not acquire direct_mutex. This is useful when direct_mutex is already locked by the user.

PATCH v4 2/4 ftrace: allow IPMODIFY and DIRECT ops on the same function

In reply to Song Liu

IPMODIFY (livepatch) and DIRECT (bpf trampoline) ops are both important users of ftrace. It is necessary to allow them work on the same function at the same time.

First, DIRECT ops no longer specify IPMODIFY flag. Instead, DIRECT flag is handled together with IPMODIFY flag in __ftrace_hash_update_ipmodify().

The, a callback function, ops_func, is added to ftrace_ops. This is used by ftrace core code to understand whether the DIRECT ops can share with an IPMODIFY ops. To share with IPMODIFY ops, the DIRECT ops need to implement the callback function and adjust the direct trampoline accordingly.

If DIRECT ops is attached before the IPMODIFY ops, ftrace core code calls ENABLE_SHARE_IPMODIFY_PEER on the DIRECT ops before registering the IPMODIFY ops.

If IPMODIFY ops is attached before the DIRECT ops, ftrace core code calls ENABLE_SHARE_IPMODIFY_SELF in __ftrace_hash_update_ipmodify. Owner of the DIRECT ops may return 0 if the DIRECT trampoline can share with IPMODIFY, so error code otherwise. The error code is propagated to register_ftrace_direct_multi so that onwer of the DIRECT trampoline can handle it properly.

For more details, please refer to comment before enum ftrace_ops_cmd.

No need. Just take the direct_mutex, and perhaps add a:

	lockdep_assert_held(&direct_mutex);

in the prepare_direct_functions_for_ipmodify().

This is far from a fast path to do any tricks in trying to optimize it.

Honestly, this is another horrible trick. Would it be possible to call prepare_direct_functions_for_ipmodify() with direct_mutex already taken?

Agreed. I'm not sure why I didn't notice this in the other versions. Probably was looking too much at the other logic. :-/

Quoted 13 lines

I mean something like:

	mutex_lock(&direct_mutex);

	ret = prepare_direct_functions_for_ipmodify(ops);
	if (ret)
		goto out:

	mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
	ret = ftrace_startup(ops, 0);
	mutex_unlock(&ftrace_lock);
Quoted 8 lines
Quoted 3 lines

out:

	mutex_unlock(&direct_mutex);
	return ret;  

Yeah, we can actually do something like this. We can also move the ops->flags & FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY check to register_ftrace_function(), so we only lock direct_mutex when when it is necessary.

Quoted 7 lines

No need. Just take the direct_mutex, and perhaps add a:

	lockdep_assert_held(&direct_mutex);

in the prepare_direct_functions_for_ipmodify().

This is far from a fast path to do any tricks in trying to optimize it.

Got it. I will fix these and send v5.

Again, these are ops_func() specific and has nothing to do with the logic in this file. Just state:

* Returns:
* 0 - @ops does not have IPMODIFY or @ops itself is DIRECT, no
* change needed;
* 1 - @ops has IPMODIFY, hold direct_mutex;
* Negative on error.

And if we move the logic that this does not keep hold of the direct_mutex, we could just let the callback return any non-zero on error.

I think you want a goto here. The macros "do_for_each_ftrace_op() { .. } while_for_each_ftrace_op()" is a double loop. The break just moves to the next set of pages and does not break out of the outer loop.

Hmmm... really? I didn't see it ...

Ah, right. I just meant to get rid of the if statement.

To keep the code clean, perhaps we should have:

#ifdef CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS

# define lock_direct_mutex()	mutex_lock(&direct_mutex)
# define unlock_direct_mutex()	mutex_unlock(&direct_mutex)
#else
# define lock_direct_mutex()	do { } while (0)
# define unlock_direct_mutex()	do { } while (0)
#endif

And use that here.

I agree with Petr.

Just grab the direct_mutex_lock here.

	mutex_lock(&direct_mutex);

Actually, we cannot blindly lock direct_mutex here, as register_ftrace_direct() already locks it before calling register_ftrace_function(). We still need the if (IPMODIFY) check.

Let's not play games with this then.

Create a register_ftrace_function_nolock()

and use that for register_ftrace_direct().

Otherwise it's going to be a nightmare to keep track of.

PATCH v4 3/4 bpf, x64: Allow to use caller address from stack

In reply to Song Liu

From: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]>

Currently we call the original function by using the absolute address given at the JIT generation. That's not usable when having trampoline attached to multiple functions, or the target address changes dynamically (in case of live patch). In such cases we need to take the return address from the stack.

Adding support to retrieve the original function address from the stack by adding new BPF_TRAMP_F_ORIG_STACK flag for arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline function.

Basically we take the return address of the 'fentry' call:

function + 0: call fentry # stores 'function + 5' address on stack
function + 5: ...

The 'function + 5' address will be used as the address for the original function to call.

PATCH v4 4/4 bpf: support bpf_trampoline on functions with IPMODIFY (e.g. livepatch)

In reply to Song Liu

When tracing a function with IPMODIFY ftrace_ops (livepatch), the bpf trampoline must follow the instruction pointer saved on stack. This needs extra handling for bpf trampolines with BPF_TRAMP_F_CALL_ORIG flag.

Implement bpf_tramp_ftrace_ops_func and use it for the ftrace_ops used by BPF trampoline. This enables tracing functions with livepatch.

This also requires moving bpf trampoline to *_ftrace_direct_mult APIs.
