This patch introduces non-owning reference semantics to the verifier,
specifically linked_list API kfunc handling. release_on_unlock logic for
refs is refactored - with small functional changes - to implement these
semantics, and bpf_list_push_{front,back} are migrated to use them.
When a list node is pushed to a list, the program still has a pointer to
the node:
n = bpf_obj_new(typeof(*n));
bpf_spin_lock(&l);
bpf_list_push_back(&l, n);
/* n still points to the just-added node */
bpf_spin_unlock(&l);
What the verifier considers n to be after the push, and thus what can be
done with n, are changed by this patch.
Common properties both before/after this patch:
* After push, n is only a valid reference to the node until end of
critical section
* After push, n cannot be pushed to any list
* After push, the program can read the node's fields using n
Before:
* After push, n retains the ref_obj_id which it received on
bpf_obj_new, but the associated bpf_reference_state's
release_on_unlock field is set to true
* release_on_unlock field and associated logic is used to implement
"n is only a valid ref until end of critical section"
* After push, n cannot be written to, the node must be removed from
the list before writing to its fields
* After push, n is marked PTR_UNTRUSTED
After:
* After push, n's ref is released and ref_obj_id set to 0. NON_OWN_REF
type flag is added to reg's type, indicating that it's a non-owning
reference.
* NON_OWN_REF flag and logic is used to implement "n is only a
valid ref until end of critical section"
* n can be written to (except for special fields e.g. bpf_list_node,
timer, ...)
Summary of specific implementation changes to achieve the above:
* release_on_unlock field, ref_set_release_on_unlock helper, and logic
to "release on unlock" based on that field are removed
* The anonymous active_lock struct used by bpf_verifier_state is
pulled out into a named struct bpf_active_lock.
* NON_OWN_REF type flag is introduced along with verifier logic
changes to handle non-owning refs
* Helpers are added to use NON_OWN_REF flag to implement non-owning
ref semantics as described above
* invalidate_non_owning_refs - helper to clobber all non-owning refs
matching a particular bpf_active_lock identity. Replaces
release_on_unlock logic in process_spin_lock.
* ref_set_non_owning - set NON_OWN_REF type flag after doing some
sanity checking
* ref_convert_owning_non_owning - convert owning reference w/
specified ref_obj_id to non-owning references. Set NON_OWN_REF
flag for each reg with that ref_obj_id and 0-out its ref_obj_id
* Update linked_list selftests to account for minor semantic
differences introduced by this patch
* Writes to a release_on_unlock node ref are not allowed, while
writes to non-owning reference pointees are. As a result the
linked_list "write after push" failure tests are no longer scenarios
that should fail.
* The test##missing_lock##op and test##incorrect_lock##op
macro-generated failure tests need to have a valid node argument in
order to have the same error output as before. Otherwise
verification will fail early and the expected error output won't be seen.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
