x86/kprobes: Fix crash when probing CS CALL instructionsgrafted
When using eBPF to probe CS CALL instructions within a function,
a crash can be triggered.
The eBPF tool probes offset 257 of the __hrtimer_run_queues()
function:
<__hrtimer_run_queues+249>: nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
<__hrtimer_run_queues+254>: mov %r14,%rdi
<__hrtimer_run_queues+257>: cs call <__x86_indirect_thunk_r12>
<__hrtimer_run_queues+263>: mov %eax,%r12d
<__hrtimer_run_queues+266>: xchg %ax,%ax
<__hrtimer_run_queues+268>: mov %r13,%rdi
Which triggers this crash:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00000000000f41c9
#PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page
PGD 0 P4D 0
Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP NOPTI
CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Kdump: loaded Tainted: P
RIP: 0010:__hrtimer_run_queues+0x106/0x230
Note that __hrtimer_run_queues+0x106 is __hrtimer_run_queues+262, which is
at the 6th byte of the above CS CALL instruction. Since the CS CALL
instruction occupies 6 bytes, the exception occurred in the middle of that
call instruction.
The root cause is that when using eBPF tools to probe in the middle of a
function, a kprobe with INT3 is used as the underlying implementation.
During single-step emulation of the original CALL instruction,
int3_emulate_call() assumes that the probed CALL instruction is 5 bytes
long. However, the actual CS-prefixed CALL instruction occupies 6 bytes,
so it constructs an incorrect exception return address. When the CPU
returns from the kprobe handler, the next instruction to be executed is at
the address of the last byte of that CS CALL instruction. Coincidentally,
starting from that address, the CPU fetches and decodes a completely
different instruction, which ultimately triggers a kernel crash.
Fix the issue by using the actual instruction length obtained from
the instruction decoder when constructing the exception return
address, rather than relying on the hardcoded CALL_INSN_SIZE macro.

Copyright (C) 2022 Red Hat, Inc. + +=================== +BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP +=================== + +.. note:: + - ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP`` was introduced in kernel version 4.18 + +The ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP`` is used as a backend map for XDP BPF helper +call ``bpf_redirect_map()`` and ``XDP_REDIRECT`` action, like 'devmap' and 'cpumap'. +This map type redirects raw XDP frames to `AF_XDP`_ sockets (XSKs), a new type of +address family in the kernel that allows redirection of frames from a driver to +user space without having to traverse the full network stack. An AF_XDP socket +binds to a single netdev queue. A mapping of XSKs to queues is shown below: + +.. code-block:: none + + +---------------------------------------------------+ + | xsk A | xsk B | xsk C |<---+ User space + =========================================================|========== + | Queue 0 | Queue 1 | Queue 2 | | Kernel + +---------------------------------------------------+ | + | Netdev eth0 | | + +---------------------------------------------------+ | + | +=============+ | | + | | key | xsk | | | + | +---------+ +=============+ | | + | | | | 0 | xsk A | | | + | | | +-------------+ | | + | | | | 1 | xsk B | | | + | | BPF |-- redirect -->+-------------+-------------+ + | | prog | | 2 | xsk C | | + | | | +-------------+ | + | | | | + | | | | + | +---------+ | + | | + +---------------------------------------------------+ + +.. note:: + An AF_XDP socket that is bound to a certain <netdev/queue_id> will *only* + accept XDP frames from that <netdev/queue_id>. If an XDP program tries to redirect + from a <netdev/queue_id> other than what the socket is bound to, the frame will + not be received on the socket. + +Typically an XSKMAP is created per netdev. This map contains an array of XSK File +Descriptors (FDs). The number of array elements is typically set or adjusted using +the ``max_entries`` map parameter. For AF_XDP ``max_entries`` is equal to the number +of queues supported by the netdev. + +.. note:: + Both the map key and map value size must be 4 bytes. + +Usage +===== + +Kernel BPF +---------- +bpf_redirect_map() +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +.. code-block:: c + + long bpf_redirect_map(struct bpf_map *map, u32 key, u64 flags) + +Redirect the packet to the endpoint referenced by ``map`` at index ``key``. +For ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP`` this map contains references to XSK FDs +for sockets attached to a netdev's queues. + +.. note:: + If the map is empty at an index, the packet is dropped. This means that it is + necessary to have an XDP program loaded with at least one XSK in the + XSKMAP to be able to get any traffic to user space through the socket. + +bpf_map_lookup_elem() +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +.. code-block:: c + + void *bpf_map_lookup_elem(struct bpf_map *map, const void *key) + +XSK entry references of type ``struct xdp_sock *`` can be retrieved using the +``bpf_map_lookup_elem()`` helper. + +User space +---------- +.. note:: + XSK entries can only be updated/deleted from user space and not from + a BPF program. Trying to call these functions from a kernel BPF program will + result in the program failing to load and a verifier warning. + +bpf_map_update_elem() +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +.. code-block:: c + + int bpf_map_update_elem(int fd, const void *key, const void *value, __u64 flags) + +XSK entries can be added or updated using the ``bpf_map_update_elem()`` +helper. The ``key`` parameter is equal to the queue_id of the queue the XSK +is attaching to. And the ``value`` parameter is the FD value of that socket. + +Under the hood, the XSKMAP update function uses the XSK FD value to retrieve the +associated ``struct xdp_sock`` instance. + +The flags argument can be one of the following: + +- BPF_ANY: Create a new element or update an existing element. +- BPF_NOEXIST: Create a new element only if it did not exist. +- BPF_EXIST: Update an existing element. + +bpf_map_lookup_elem() +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +.. code-block:: c + + int bpf_map_lookup_elem(int fd, const void *key, void *value) + +Returns ``struct xdp_sock *`` or negative error in case of failure. + +bpf_map_delete_elem() +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +.. code-block:: c + + int bpf_map_delete_elem(int fd, const void *key) + +XSK entries can be deleted using the ``bpf_map_delete_elem()`` +helper. This helper will return 0 on success, or negative error in case of +failure. + +.. note:: + When `libxdp`_ deletes an XSK it also removes the associated socket + entry from the XSKMAP. + +Examples +======== +Kernel +------ + +The following code snippet shows how to declare a ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP`` called +``xsks_map`` and how to redirect packets to an XSK. + +.. code-block:: c + + struct { + __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP); + __type(key, __u32); + __type(value, __u32); + __uint(max_entries, 64); + } xsks_map SEC(".maps"); + + + SEC("xdp") + int xsk_redir_prog(struct xdp_md *ctx) + { + __u32 index = ctx->rx_queue_index; + + if (bpf_map_lookup_elem(&xsks_map, &index)) + return bpf_redirect_map(&xsks_map, index, 0); + return XDP_PASS; + } + +User space +---------- + +The following code snippet shows how to update an XSKMAP with an XSK entry. + +.. code-block:: c + + int update_xsks_map(struct bpf_map *xsks_map, int queue_id, int xsk_fd) + { + int ret; + + ret = bpf_map_update_elem(bpf_map__fd(xsks_map), &queue_id, &xsk_fd, 0); + if (ret < 0) + fprintf(stderr, "Failed to update xsks_map: %s\n", strerror(errno)); + + return ret; + } + +For an example on how create AF_XDP sockets, please see the AF_XDP-example and +AF_XDP-forwarding programs in the `bpf-examples`_ directory in the `libxdp`_ repository. +For a detailed explanation of the AF_XDP interface please see: + +- `libxdp-readme`_. +- `AF_XDP`_ kernel documentation. + +.. note:: + The most comprehensive resource for using XSKMAPs and AF_XDP is `libxdp`_. + +.. _libxdp: https://github.com/xdp-project/xdp-tools/tree/master/lib/libxdp +.. _AF_XDP: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/af_xdp.html +.. _bpf-examples: https://github.com/xdp-project/bpf-examples +.. _libxdp-readme: https://github.com/xdp-project/xdp-tools/tree/master/lib/libxdp#using-af_xdp-sockets |
