2015-10-08bpf: split state from prandom_u32() and consolidate {c, e}BPF prngsDaniel Borkmann
While recently arguing on a seccomp discussion that raw prandom_u32() access shouldn't be exposed to unpriviledged user space, I forgot the fact that SKF_AD_RANDOM extension actually already does it for some time in cBPF via commit 4cd3675ebf74 ("filter: added BPF random opcode"). Since prandom_u32() is being used in a lot of critical networking code, lets be more conservative and split their states. Furthermore, consolidate eBPF and cBPF prandom handlers to use the new internal PRNG. For eBPF, bpf_get_prandom_u32() was only accessible for priviledged users, but should that change one day, we also don't want to leak raw sequences through things like eBPF maps. One thought was also to have own per bpf_prog states, but due to ABI reasons this is not easily possible, i.e. the program code currently cannot access bpf_prog itself, and copying the rnd_state to/from the stack scratch space whenever a program uses the prng seems not really worth the trouble and seems too hacky. If needed, taus113 could in such cases be implemented within eBPF using a map entry to keep the state space, or get_random_bytes() could become a second helper in cases where performance would not be critical. Both sides can trigger a one-time late init via prandom_init_once() on the shared state. Performance-wise, there should even be a tiny gain as bpf_user_rnd_u32() saves one function call. The PRNG needs to live inside the BPF core since kernels could have a NET-less config as well.

2015-06-15bpf: introduce current->pid, tgid, uid, gid, comm accessorsAlexei Starovoitov
eBPF programs attached to kprobes need to filter based on current->pid, uid and other fields, so introduce helper functions: u64 bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(void) Return: current->tgid << 32 | current->pid u64 bpf_get_current_uid_gid(void) Return: current_gid << 32 | current_uid bpf_get_current_comm(char *buf, int size_of_buf) stores current->comm into buf They can be used from the programs attached to TC as well to classify packets based on current task fields. Update tracex2 example to print histogram of write syscalls for each process instead of aggregated for all. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-05-31ebpf: misc core cleanupDaniel Borkmann
Besides others, move bpf_tail_call_proto to the remaining definitions of other protos, improve comments a bit (i.e. remove some obvious ones, where the code is already self-documenting, add objectives for others), simplify bpf_prog_array_compatible() a bit.

2015-05-31ebpf: allow bpf_ktime_get_ns_proto also for networkingDaniel Borkmann
As this is already exported from tracing side via commit d9847d310ab4 ("tracing: Allow BPF programs to call bpf_ktime_get_ns()"), we might as well want to move it to the core, so also networking users can make use of it, e.g. to measure diffs for certain flows from ingress/egress.

2015-03-15ebpf: add helper for obtaining current processor idDaniel Borkmann
This patch adds the possibility to obtain raw_smp_processor_id() in eBPF. Currently, this is only possible in classic BPF where commit da2033c28226 ("filter: add SKF_AD_RXHASH and SKF_AD_CPU") has added facilities for this. Perhaps most importantly, this would also allow us to track per CPU statistics with eBPF maps, or to implement a poor-man's per CPU data structure through eBPF maps. Example function proto-type looks like: u32 (*smp_processor_id)(void) = (void *)BPF_FUNC_get_smp_processor_id; Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-03-15ebpf: add prandom helper for packet samplingDaniel Borkmann
This work is similar to commit 4cd3675ebf74 ("filter: added BPF random opcode") and adds a possibility for packet sampling in eBPF. Currently, this is only possible in classic BPF and useful to combine sampling with f.e. packet sockets, possible also with tc. Example function proto-type looks like: u32 (*prandom_u32)(void) = (void *)BPF_FUNC_get_prandom_u32; Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
