[PATCH bpf-next 0/4] bpf, x64: Fix tailcall hierarchy

[Leon Hwang]

The patchset fixes a tailcall hierarchy issue.

The issue is confirmed in the discussions of "bpf, x64: Fix tailcall infinite
loop"[0].

The issue is only resolved on x86.

Hopefully, the issue on arm64 and s390x will be resolved soon.

I provide a long commit message in the second patch to describe how the issue
happens and how this patchset resolves the issue in detail.

RFC v2 -> v1:
  * address comments from Maciej:
    * Replace all memcpy(prog, x86_nops[5], X86_PATCH_SIZE) with
        emit_nops(&prog, X86_PATCH_SIZE)

RFC v1 -> RFC v2:
  * address comments from Stanislav:
    * Separate moving emit_nops() as first patch.

[PATCH bpf-next 1/4] bpf, x64: Use emit_nops() to replace memcpy()'ing x86_nops[5]

[Leon Hwang]

For next commit to reuse emit_nops(), move emit_nops() before
emit_prologue().

By the way, replace all memcpy(prog, x86_nops[5], X86_PATCH_SIZE) with
emit_nops(&prog, X86_PATCH_SIZE).

[PATCH bpf-next 2/4] bpf, x64: Fix tailcall hierarchy

[Leon Hwang]

From commit ebf7d1f508a73871 ("bpf, x64: rework pro/epilogue and tailcall
handling in JIT"), the tailcall on x64 works better than before.

From commit e411901c0b775a3a ("bpf: allow for tailcalls in BPF subprograms
for x64 JIT"), tailcall is able to run in BPF subprograms on x64.

How about:

1. More than 1 subprograms are called in a bpf program.
2. The tailcalls in the subprograms call the bpf program.

Because of missing tail_call_cnt back-propagation, a tailcall hierarchy
comes up. And MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT limit does not work for this case.

Let's take a look into an example:

#include <linux/bpf.h>
#include <bpf/bpf_helpers.h>
#include "bpf_legacy.h"

struct {
	__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY);
	__uint(max_entries, 1);
	__uint(key_size, sizeof(__u32));
	__uint(value_size, sizeof(__u32));
} jmp_table SEC(".maps");

int count = 0;

static __noinline
int subprog_tail(struct __sk_buff *skb)
{
	bpf_tail_call_static(skb, &jmp_table, 0);
	return 0;
}

SEC("tc")
int entry(struct __sk_buff *skb)
{
	volatile int ret = 1;

	count++;
	subprog_tail(skb); /* subprog call1 */
	subprog_tail(skb); /* subprog call2 */

	return ret;
}

char __license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";

And the entry bpf prog is populated to the 0th slot of jmp_table. Then,
what happens when entry bpf prog runs? The CPU will be stalled because
of too many tailcalls like this CI:

https://github.com/kernel-patches/bpf/pull/5807/checks

In this CI results, the test_progs failed to run on aarch64 and s390x
because of "rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU".

So, if CPU does not stall because of too many tailcalls, how many
tailcalls will be there for this case? And why MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT limit
does not work for this case?

Let's step into some running steps.

At the very first time when subprog_tail() is called, subprog_tail() does
tailcall the entry bpf prog. Then, subprog_taill() is called at second time
at the position subprog call1, and it tailcalls the entry bpf prog again.

Then, again and again. At the very first time when MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT limit
works, subprog_tail() has been called for 34 times at the position subprog
call1. And at this time, the tail_call_cnt is 33 in subprog_tail().

Next, the 34th subprog_tail() returns to entry() because of
MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT limit.

In entry(), the 34th entry(), at the time after the 34th subprog_tail() at
the position subprog call1 finishes and before the 1st subprog_tail() at
the position subprog call2 calls in entry(), what's the value of
tail_call_cnt in entry()? It's 33.

As we know, tail_all_cnt is pushed on the stack of entry(), and propagates
to subprog_tail() by %rax from stack.

Then, at the time when subprog_tail() at the position subprog call2 is
called for its first time, tail_call_cnt 33 propagates to subprog_tail()
by %rax. And the tailcall in subprog_tail() is aborted because of
tail_call_cnt >= MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT too.

Then, subprog_tail() at the position subprog call2 ends, and the 34th
entry() ends. And it returns to the 33rd subprog_tail() called from the
position subprog call1. But wait, at this time, what's the value of
tail_call_cnt under the stack of subprog_tail()? It's 33.

Then, in the 33rd entry(), at the time after the 33th subprog_tail() at
the position subprog call1 finishes and before the 2nd subprog_tail() at
the position subprog call2 calls, what's the value of tail_call_cnt
in current entry()? It's *32*. Why not 33?

Before stepping into subprog_tail() at the position subprog call2 in 33rd
entry(), like stopping the time machine, let's have a look at the stack
memory:

  |  STACK  |
  +---------+ RBP  <-- current rbp
  |   ret   | STACK of 33rd entry()
  |   tcc   | its value is 32
  +---------+ RSP  <-- current rsp
  |   rip   | STACK of 34rd entry()
  |   rbp   | reuse the STACK of 33rd subprog_tail() at the position
  |   ret   |                                        subprog call1
  |   tcc   | its value is 33
  +---------+ rsp
  |   rip   | STACK of 1st subprog_tail() at the position subprog call2
  |   rbp   |
  |   tcc   | its value is 33
  +---------+ rsp

Why not 33? It's because tail_call_cnt does not back-propagate from
subprog_tail() to entry().

Then, while stepping into subprog_tail() at the position subprog call2 in 33rd
entry():

  |  STACK  |
  +---------+
  |   ret   | STACK of 33rd entry()
  |   tcc   | its value is 32
  |   rip   |
  |   rbp   |
  +---------+ RBP  <-- current rbp
  |   tcc   | its value is 32; STACK of subprog_tail() at the position
  +---------+ RSP  <-- current rsp                        subprog call2

Then, while pausing after tailcalling in 2nd subprog_tail() at the position
subprog call2:

  |  STACK  |
  +---------+
  |   ret   | STACK of 33rd entry()
  |   tcc   | its value is 32
  |   rip   |
  |   rbp   |
  +---------+ RBP  <-- current rbp
  |   tcc   | its value is 33; STACK of subprog_tail() at the position
  +---------+ RSP  <-- current rsp                        subprog call2

Note: what happens to tail_call_cnt:
	/*
	 * if (tail_call_cnt++ >= MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT)
	 *	goto out;
	 */
It's to check >= MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT first and then increment tail_call_cnt.

So, current tailcall is allowed to run.

Then, entry() is tailcalled. And the stack memory status is:

  |  STACK  |
  +---------+
  |   ret   | STACK of 33rd entry()
  |   tcc   | its value is 32
  |   rip   |
  |   rbp   |
  +---------+ RBP  <-- current rbp
  |   ret   | STACK of 35th entry(); reuse STACK of subprog_tail() at the
  |   tcc   | its value is 33                   the position subprog call2
  +---------+ RSP  <-- current rsp

So, the tailcalls in the 35th entry() will be aborted.

And, ..., again and again.  :(

And, I hope you have understood the reason why MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT limit
does not work for this case.

And, how many tailcalls are there for this case if CPU does not stall?

From top-down view, does it look like hierarchy layer and layer?

I think it is a hierarchy layer model with 2+4+8+...+2**33 tailcalls. As a
result, if CPU does not stall, there will be 2**34 - 2 = 17,179,869,182
tailcalls. That's the guy making CPU stalled.

What about there are N subprog_tail() in entry()? If CPU does not stall
because of too many tailcalls, there will be almost N**34 tailcalls.

And, as we know about the issue, how does this patch resolve it?

I hope you have patience to read the following details, because it's
really hard to understand the code directly.

As we know, in tail call context, the tail_call_cnt propagates by stack
and rax register between BPF subprograms and trampolines.

How about propagating the pointer of tail_call_cnt instead of tail_call_cnt?

When propagating tail_call_cnt pointer by stack and rax register, it'll
make tail_call_cnt works like a global variable in current tail call
context. Then MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT limit will be able to work for all
tailcalls in current tail call context.

But, where does tail_call_cnt store?

It stores on the stack of entry bpf prog's caller, like

    |  STACK  |
    |         |
    |   rip   |
 +->|   tcc   |
 |  |   rip   |
 |  |   rbp   |
 |  +---------+ RBP
 |  |         |
 |  |         |
 |  |         |
 +--| tcc_ptr |
    |   rbx   |
    +---------+ RSP

Note: tcc is tail_call_cnt, tcc_ptr is tail_call_cnt pointer.

So, how does it store tail_call_cnt to the stack of entry bpf prog's
caller?

At the epilogue of entry bpf prog, before pushing %rbp, it initialises
tail_call_cnt by "xor eax, eax" and then push it to stack by "push rax".
Then, make %rax as the pointer that points to tail_call_cnt by "mov rax,
rsp". Next, call the main part of the entry bpf prog by "call 2". (This
is the exceptional point.) With this "call", %rip is pushed to stack. And
at the end of the entry bpf prog runtime, the %rip is popped from stack;
then, pop tail_call_cnt by "pop rcx" from stack too; and finally "ret"
again. The "pop rcx" and "ret" is the 2 in "call 2".

It seems invasive to use a "call" here. But it is the key of this patch.
With this "call", it is able to store tail_call_cnt to stack of entry
bpf prog's caller instead of the stack of entry bpf prog. As a result,
tail_call_cnt is protected by "call" actually.

Meanwhile tcc_ptr is unnecessary to be popped from stack at the epilogue of bpf
prog, like the way of commit d207929d97ea028f ("bpf, x64: Drop "pop %rcx"
instruction on BPF JIT epilogue").

And when a tailcall happens, load tail_call_cnt pointer from stack to %rax
by "mov rax, qword ptr [rbp - tcc_ptr_off]", and compare tail_call_cnt with
MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT by "cmp dword ptr [rax], MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT", and then
increment tail_call_cnt by "add dword ptr [rax], 1". Finally, when pop %rax,
it's to pop tail_call_cnt pointer from stack to %rax.

Next, let's step into some running steps.

When the epilogue of entry() runs, the stack of entry() should be like:

    |  STACK  | STACK of entry()'s caller
    |         |
    |   rip   |
 +->|   tcc   | its value is 0
 |  |   rip   |
 |  |   rbp   |
 |  +---------+ RBP  <-- current rbp
 |  |   ret   | STACK of entry()
 +--| tcc_ptr |
    |   rbx   | saved regs
    +---------+ RSP  <-- current rsp

Then, when subprog_tail() is called for its very first time, its stack
should be like:

    |  STACK  | STACK of entry()'s caller
    |         |
    |   rip   |
 +->|   tcc   | its value is 0
 |  |   rip   |
 |  |   rbp   |
 |  +---------+ rbp
 |  |   ret   | STACK of entry()
 +--| tcc_ptr |
 |  |   rbx   | saved regs
 |  |   rip   |
 |  |   rbp   |
 |  +---------+ RBP  <-- current rbp
 +--| tcc_ptr | STACK of subprog_tail()
    +---------+ RSP  <-- current rsp

Then, when subprog_tail() tailcalls entry():

    |  STACK  | STACK of entry()'s caller
    |         |
    |   rip   |
 +->|   tcc   | its value is 1
 |  |   rip   |
 |  |   rbp   |
 |  +---------+ rbp
 |  |   ret   | STACK of entry()
 +--| tcc_ptr |
 |  |   rbx   | saved regs
 |  |   rip   |
 |  |   rbp   |
 |  +---------+ RBP  <-- current rbp
 |  |   ret   | STACK of entry(), reuse STACK of subprog_tail()
 +--| tcc_ptr |
    +---------+ RSP  <-- current rsp

Then, when entry() calls subprog_tail():

    |  STACK  | STACK of entry()'s caller
    |         |
    |   rip   |
 +->|   tcc   | its value is 1
 |  |   rip   |
 |  |   rbp   |
 |  +---------+ rbp
 |  |   ret   | STACK of entry()
 +--| tcc_ptr |
 |  |   rbx   | saved regs
 |  |   rip   |
 |  |   rbp   |
 |  +---------+ rbp
 |  |   ret   | STACK of entry(), reuse STACK of subprog_tail()
 +--| tcc_ptr |
 |  |   rip   |
 |  |   rbp   |
 |  +---------+ RBP  <-- current rbp
 +--| tcc_ptr | STACK of subprog_tail()
    +---------+ RSP  <-- current rsp

Then, when subprog_tail() tailcalls entry():

    |  STACK  | STACK of entry()'s caller
    |         |
    |   rip   |
 +->|   tcc   | its value is 2
 |  |   rip   |
 |  |   rbp   |
 |  +---------+ rbp
 |  |   ret   | STACK of entry()
 +--| tcc_ptr |
 |  |   rbx   | saved regs
 |  |   rip   |
 |  |   rbp   |
 |  +---------+ rbp
 |  |   ret   | STACK of entry(), reuse STACK of subprog_tail()
 +--| tcc_ptr |
 |  |   rip   |
 |  |   rbp   |
 |  +---------+ RBP  <-- current rbp
 |  |   ret   | STACK of entry(), reuse STACK of subprog_tail()
 +--| tcc_ptr |
    +---------+ RSP  <-- current rsp

Then, again and again. At the very first time when MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT limit
works, subprog_tail() has been called for 34 times at the position subprog
call1. And at this time, the stack should be like:

    |  STACK  | STACK of entry()'s caller
    |         |
    |   rip   |
 +->|   tcc   | its value is 33
 |  |   rip   |
 |  |   rbp   |
 |  +---------+ rbp
 |  |   ret   | STACK of entry()
 +--| tcc_ptr |
 |  |   rbx   | saved regs
 |  |   rip   |
 |  |   rbp   |
 |  +---------+ rbp
 |  |   ret   | STACK of entry(), reuse STACK of subprog_tail()
 +--| tcc_ptr |
 |  |   rip   |
 |  |   rbp   |
 |  +---------+ rbp
 |  |   ret   | STACK of entry(), reuse STACK of subprog_tail()
 +--| tcc_ptr |
 |  |   rip   |
 |  |   rbp   |
 |  +---------+ rbp
 |  |    *    |
 |  |    *    |
 |  |    *    |
 |  +---------+ RBP  <-- current rbp
 +--| tcc_ptr | STACK of subprog_tail()
    +---------+ RSP  <-- current rsp

At this time, the tailcalls in the future will be aborted because
tail_call_cnt has been 33, which reaches its MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT limit.

This is the way how this patch works.

It's really nice if you reach here. I hope you have a clear idea to
understand the following code with above explaining.

[PATCH bpf-next 3/4] bpf, x64: Rename RESTORE_TAIL_CALL_CNT() to LOAD_TAIL_CALL_CNT_PTR()

[Leon Hwang]

With previous commit, %rax is used to propagate tail_call_cnt pointer
instead of tail_call_cnt. So, LOAD_TAIL_CALL_CNT_PTR() is more accurate.

I'm afraid the extra call breaks stack unwinding and many other things.
The proper frame needs to be setup (push rbp; etc)
and 'leave' + emit_return() is used.
Plain 'ret' is not ok.
x86_call_depth_emit_accounting() needs to be used too.
That will make X86_TAIL_CALL_OFFSET adjustment very complicated.
Also the fix doesn't address the stack size issue.
We shouldn't allow all the extra frames at run-time.

The tail_cnt_ptr approach is interesting but too heavy,
since arm64, s390 and other JITs would need to repeat it with equally
complicated calculations in TAIL_CALL_OFFSET.

The fix should really be thought through for all JITs. Not just x86.

I'm thinking whether we should do the following instead:

                bpf_prog_put(prog);
                return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
        }

This will stop stack growth, but it will break a few existing tests.
I feel it's a price worth paying.

John, Daniel,

do you see anything breaking on cilium side if we disallow
progs with subprogs to be inserted in prog_array ?

Other alternatives?

I was worried about it. But I'm not sure how it breaks stack unwinding.

However, without the extra call, I've tried another approach:

* [RFC PATCH bpf-next 1/3] bpf, x64: Fix tailcall hierarchy
  https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20231005145814.83122-2-hffilwlqm@gmail.com/

It's to propagate tail_call_cnt_ptr, too. But more complicated:

How about this approach?

I don't think this can avoid this issue completely.

For example:

#include "vmlinux.h"

#include "bpf_helpers.h"

struct {
    __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY);
    __uint(max_entries, 1);
    __uint(key_size, sizeof(__u32));
    __uint(value_size, sizeof(__u32));
} prog_array SEC(".maps");


static __noinline int
subprog(struct __sk_buff *skb)
{
    volatile int retval = 0;

    bpf_tail_call(skb, &prog_array, 0);

    return retval;
}

SEC("tc")
int entry(struct __sk_buff *skb)
{
    const int N = 10000;

    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
        subprog(skb);

    return 0;
}

char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";

Then, objdump its asm:

As a result, the bpf prog in prog_array can be tailcalled for N times,
even though there's no subprog in the bpf prog in prog_array.

FWIW tetragon should be ok with this.. we use few subprograms in
hubble, but most of them are not called from tail called programs

Extra 15 nops in the prologue of every bpf program (tailcall or not)
is too high a price to pay.

Think of a simple fix other on verifier side or
simple approach that all JITs can easily do.

You mean that total execution time is N*N ?
and tailcall is a way to increase loop count?
We allow BPF_MAX_LOOPS = 8 * 1024 * 1024 in bpf_loop,
so many calls to subprog(skb); is not an issue
as long as they don't stall cpu and don't increase stack size.

We actually do this in some of the l7 parsers where we try to use
subprogs as much as possible but still use prog_array for calls
that might end up being recursive.

I'll think about it Monday my first thought is some refactoring and
using bpf_loop or other helpers could resolve this.

If its just bpf-next and not backported onto stable we can probably
figure something out.

No, it's N. There's N tailcalls in subprog() to be called in entry().

Yes, this is a way. And MAX_TAIL_CALL_CNT limit does not work for this case.

What if there are BPF_MAX_LOOPS subprog(skb) and there are BPF_MAX_LOOPS
loops in the tail-callee bpf prog?

It's not easy but I'll have a hard try.

It's fine. Every bpf_loop is capped individually.
We're working on generic "cancelling" of bpf progs
when they consume too much cpu time.
There is no way to do run-time counters.

So you do tail_call into a prog that has subprogs. Ok.
Any pointers to a code? (Just for my own education)

Anyway, we need to come up with something better.

I've been trying to play with a few ideas on how to propagate %rax
back from subprog into caller, since frame layout is known, but
struggling to x86 asm it.
Roughly:
RESTORE_TAIL_CALL_CNT
emit_call
copy from already dead stack area back into tail_call_cnt of this frame.
Since IRQs on x86 are using different stack it should be ok?

If I'm wrong about stack usage and dead stack can be scratched
the emit_return() can store ttc into %rdx and after emit_call we
take it from there.

I've finish the POC of an alternative, which passed all tailcall
selftests including these tailcall hierarchy ones.

In this alternative, I use a new bpf_prog_run_ctx to wrap the original
ctx and the tcc_ptr, then get the tcc_ptr and recover the original ctx
in JIT.

Then, to avoid breaking runtime with tailcall on other arch, I add an
arch-related check bpf_jit_supports_tail_call_cnt_ptr() to determin
whether to use bpf_prog_run_ctx.

Why use EXPORT_SYMBOL here?

It's to avoid the building error.

I'm not familiar with this building error. Is it OK to use EXPORT_SYMBOL
here?

This is diff against your previous proposed solution, would be good to see
how it currently looks being put together (this diff on top of your
patch), would save us some effort to dig the patch up and include diff.

The previous proposed solution is buggy, when I have a deep analysis.

> 

But, we can not apply this patch with this diff. It's because it breaks
the runtime with tailcall of bpf progs, whose runtime entry is not
__bpf_prog_run(), e.g. trampoline-based fentry/fexit/fmod_ret.

So, is there any other bpf prog types whose runtime entry is not either
__bpf_prog_run() or trampoline?

I'd like to fix them in PATCH v2.

Thanks,
Leon

This is no good either.
We cannot introduce two extra run-time checks before calling every bpf prog.
The solution must be overhead free for common cases.

Can we switch to percpu tail_call_cnt instead of on stack and %rax tricks ?

If that won't work, then we'd have to disable tail_calls from subprogs
in the verifier.

Good idea to use percpu tail_call_cnt.

I did another POC to use percpu tail_call_cnt, which passed all tailcall
selftests too.

In this POC, in order to prepare tcc_ptr at the prologue of x86 JIT,
it's to call bpf_tail_call_cnt_prepare() to get the pointer that points
to percpu tail_call_cnt, and to store the pointer to %rax meanwhile.

This might need to be in asm to make sure no callee saved registers
are touched.

In general that's better, but it feels we can do better
and avoid passing rax around.
Just access bpf_tail_call_cnt directly from emit_bpf_tail_call.

> Just access bpf_tail_call_cnt directly from emit_bpf_tail_call.
Yes, we can do better to avoid passing rax around:

1. At prologue, initialise percpu tail_call_cnt.
2. When tailcall, fetch and increment percpu tail_call_cnt.

As a result, we can remove pushing/popping rax at anywhere.

Finally, here's the diff against latest bpf-next with asm to handle
percpu tail_call_cnt:

Hi Alexei,

Should I send PATCH v2?

May I add "Suggested-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>" at PATCH
v2? Because the key idea, percpu tail_call_cnt, is suggested by you.

Thanks,
Leon

It is not against bpf-next.

There is no such thing in bpf-next.

Please make a proper patch post following the rules in
Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst

No need for such attribution.

Sorry for my misunderstanding. I will send PATCH v2 instead, which is
against bpf-next truly.

I'll read the doc again to do better in the future.

Thanks,
Leon
