[v3,bpf,3/5] bpf: enforce types for __arg_ctx-tagged arguments in global subprogs

Commit Message

Andrii Nakryiko Jan. 18, 2024, 3:31 a.m. UTC

Add enforcement of expected types for context arguments tagged with
arg:ctx (__arg_ctx) tag.

First, any program type will accept generic `void *` context type when
combined with __arg_ctx tag.

Besides accepting "canonical" struct names and `void *`, for a bunch of
program types for which program context is actually a named struct, we
allows a bunch of pragmatic exceptions to match real-world and expected
usage:

  - for both kprobes and perf_event we allow `bpf_user_pt_regs_t *` as
    canonical context argument type, where `bpf_user_pt_regs_t` is a
    *typedef*, not a struct;
  - for kprobes, we also always accept `struct pt_regs *`, as that's what
    actually is passed as a context to any kprobe program;
  - for perf_event, we resolve typedefs (unless it's `bpf_user_pt_regs_t`)
    down to actual struct type and accept `struct pt_regs *`, or
    `struct user_pt_regs *`, or `struct user_regs_struct *`, depending
    on the actual struct type kernel architecture points `bpf_user_pt_regs_t`
    typedef to; otherwise, canonical `struct bpf_perf_event_data *` is
    expected;
  - for raw_tp/raw_tp.w programs, `u64/long *` are accepted, as that's
    what's expected with BPF_PROG() usage; otherwise, canonical
    `struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args *` is expected;
  - tp_btf supports both `struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args *` and `u64 *`
    formats, both are coded as expections as tp_btf is actually a TRACING
    program type, which has no canonical context type;
  - iterator programs accept `struct bpf_iter__xxx *` structs, currently
    with no further iterator-type specific enforcement;
  - fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm/struct_ops all accept `u64 *`;
  - classic tracepoint programs, as well as syscall and freplace
    programs allow any user-provided type.

In all other cases kernel will enforce exact match of struct name to
expected canonical type. And if user-provided type doesn't match that
expectation, verifier will emit helpful message with expected type name.

Note a bit unnatural way the check is done after processing all the
arguments. This is done to avoid conflict between bpf and bpf-next
trees. Once trees converge, a small follow up patch will place a simple
btf_validate_prog_ctx_type() check into a proper ARG_PTR_TO_CTX branch
(which bpf-next tree patch refactored already), removing duplicated
arg:ctx detection logic.
