This series adds ftrace direct call for arm64, which is required to attach
bpf trampoline to fentry.

Although there is no agreement on how to support ftrace direct call on arm64,
no patch has been posted except the one I posted in [1], so this series
continues the work of [1] with the addition of long jump support. Now ftrace
direct call works regardless of the distance between the callsite and custom
trampoline.

From: Xu Kuohai <xukuohai@huawei.com>

To support ftrace direct call on arm64, multiple NOP instructions need
to be added to the ftrace fentry, which will make the kernel image
larger. For users who don't need direct calls, they should not pay this
unnecessary price, so they should be allowed to disable this option.

From: Xu Kuohai <xukuohai@huawei.com>

Add long jump support to fentry, so dynamically allocated trampolines
like bpf trampoline can be called from fentry directly, as these
trampoline addresses may be out of the range that a single bl
instruction can jump to.

The scheme used here is basically the same as commit b2ad54e1533e
("bpf, arm64: Implement bpf_arch_text_poke() for arm64").

1. At compile time, we use -fpatchable-function-entry=7,5 to insert 5
   NOPs before function entry and 2 NOPs after function entry:

		NOP
		NOP
		NOP
		NOP
		NOP
	func:
		BTI C	// if BTI
		NOP
		NOP

   The reason for inserting 5 NOPs before the function entry is that
   2 NOPs are patched to LDR and BR instructions, 2 NOPs are used to
   store the destination jump address, and 1 NOP is used to adjust
   alignment to ensure the destination jump address is stored in 8-byte
   aligned memory, which is required by atomic store and load.

2. When there is no trampoline attached, the callsite is patched to:

                NOP	// extra NOP if func is 8-byte aligned
        literal:
                .quad ftrace_dummy_tramp
                NOP	// extra NOP if func is NOT 8-byte aligned
        literal_call:
                LDR X16, literal
                BR X16
        func:
                BTI C	// if BTI
                MOV X9, LR
                NOP

3. When long jump trampoline is attached, the callsite is patched to:

                NOP	// extra NOP if func is 8-byte aligned
        literal:
                .quad <long-jump-trampoline>
                NOP	// extra NOP if func is NOT 8-byte aligned
        literal_call:
                LDR X16, literal
                BR X16
        func:
                BTI C	// if BTI
                MOV X9, LR
                BL literal_call

4. When short jump trampoline is attached, the callsite is patched to:

                NOP	// extra NOP if func is 8-byte aligned
        literal:
                .quad ftrace_dummy_tramp
                NOP	// extra NOP if func is NOT 8-byte aligned
        literal_call:
                LDR X16, literal
                BR X16
        func:
                BTI C	// if BTI
                MOV X9, LR
                BL <short-jump-trampoline>

Note that there is always a valid jump address in literal, either custom
trampoline address or the dummy trampoline address, which ensures
that we'll never jump from callsite to an unknown place.

Also note that the callsite is only ensured to be patched atomically and
securely. Whether the custom trampoline can be freed should be checked
by the trampoline user. For example, bpf uses refcnt and task based rcu
to ensure bpf trampoline could be freed safely.

In my environment, before this patch, there are 2 NOPs inserted in function
entry, and the generated vmlinux size is 463,649,280 bytes, while after
this patch, the vmlinux size is 465,069,368 bytes, increased 1,420,088
bytes, about 0.3%. In vmlinux, there are 14,376 8-byte aligned functions
and 41,847 unaligned functions. For each aligned function, one of the
five NOPs before the function entry is unnecessary, wasting 57,504 bytes.

From: Xu Kuohai <xukuohai@huawei.com>

Add ftrace direct support for arm64.

1. When there is custom trampoline only, patch fentry callsite to call
   the custom trampoline directly.

2. When ftrace caller and custom trampoline coexist, jump from fentry to
   ftrace caller first, then jump to custom trampoline when ftrace caller
   exits. As pt_regs->orig_x0 is currently unused by ftrace, its space
   is reused as an intermediary for jumping from ftrace caller to custom
   trampoline.

In short, this patch does the same thing as the x86 commit 562955fe6a55
("ftrace/x86: Add register_ftrace_direct() for custom trampolines").

From: Xu Kuohai <xukuohai@huawei.com>

After direct call is enabled for arm64, ftrace selftest enters a
dead loop:

<trace_selftest_dynamic_test_func>:
00  bti     c
01  mov     x9, x30                            <trace_direct_tramp>:
02  bl      <trace_direct_tramp>    ---------->     ret
                                                     |
                                         lr/x30 is 03, return to 03
                                                     |
03  mov     w0, #0x0   <-----------------------------|
     |                                               |
     |                   dead loop!                  |
     |                                               |
04  ret   ---- lr/x30 is still 03, go back to 03 ----|

The reason is that when the direct caller trace_direct_tramp() returns
to the patched function trace_selftest_dynamic_test_func(), lr is still
the address after the instrumented instruction in the patched function,
so when the patched function exits, it returns to itself!

To fix this issue, we need to restore lr before trace_direct_tramp()
exits, so use a dedicated trace_direct_tramp() for arm64.

Given there's just a tiny fraction touching BPF JIT and most are around core arm64,
it probably makes sense that this series goes via Catalin/Will through arm64 tree
instead of bpf-next if it looks good to them. Catalin/Will, thoughts (Ack + bpf-next
could work too, but I'd presume this just results in merge conflicts)?

I think it makes sense for the series to go via the arm64 tree but I'd
like Mark to have a look at the ftrace changes first.

From a quick scan, I still don't think this is quite right, and as it stands I
believe this will break backtracing (as the instructions before the function
entry point will not be symbolized correctly, getting in the way of
RELIABLE_STACKTRACE). I think I was insufficiently clear with my earlier
feedback there, as I have a mechanism in mind that wa a little simpler.

I'll try to reply with some more detail tomorrow, but I don't think this is the
right approach, and as mentioned previously (and e.g. at LPC) I'd strongly
prefer to *not* implement direct calls, so that we can have more consistent
entry/exit handling.

Thanks,
Mark.

Thanks for the review. I have some thoughts about reliable stacktrace.

If PC is not in the range of literal_call, stacktrace works as before without
changes.

If PC is in the range of literal_call, for example, interrupted by an
irq, I think there are 2 problems:

1. Caller LR is not pushed to the stack yet, so caller's address and name
    will be missing from the backtrace.

2. Since PC is not in func's address range, no symbol name will be found, so
    func name is also missing.

Problem 1 is not introduced by this patchset, but the occurring probability
may be increased by this patchset. I think this problem should be addressed by
a reliable stacktrace scheme, such as ORC on x86.

Problem 2 is indeed introduced by this patchset. I think there are at least 3
ways to deal with it:

1. Add a symbol name for literal_call.

2. Hack the backtrace routine, if no symbol name found for a PC during backtrace,
    we can check if the PC is in literal_call, then adjust PC and try again.

3. Move literal_call to the func's address range, for example:

         a. Compile with -fpatchable-function-entry=7
         func:
                 BTI C
                 NOP
                 NOP
                 NOP
                 NOP
                 NOP
                 NOP
                 NOP
         func_body:
                 ...


         b. When disabled, patch it to
         func:
                 BTI C
                 B func_body
         literal:
                 .quad dummy_tramp
         literal_call:
                 LDR X16, literal
                 MOV X9, LR
                 BLR X16
         func_body:
                 ...


         c. When enabled and target is out-of-range, patch it to
         func:
                 BTI C
                 B literal_call
         literal:
                 .quad custom_trampoline
         literal_call:
                 LDR X16, literal
                 MOV X9, LR
                 BLR X16
         func_body:
                 ...


         d. When enabled and target is in range, patch it to
         func:
                 BTI C
                 B direct_call
         literal:
                 .quad dummy_tramp
                 LDR X16, literal
         direct_call:
                 MOV X9, LR
                 BL custom_trampoline
         func_body:
                 ...

I agree problem 1 is not introduced by this patch set; I have plans fo how to
address that for reliable stacktrace based on identifying the ftrace
trampoline. This is one of the reasons I do not want direct calls, as
identifying all direct call trampolines is going to be very painful and slow,
whereas identifying a statically allocated ftrace trampoline is far simpler.

> Problem 2 is indeed introduced by this patchset. I think there are at least 3
> ways to deal with it:

What I would like to do here, as mentioned previously in other threads, is to
avoid direct calls, and implement "FTRACE_WITH_OPS", where we can associate
each patch-site with a specific set of ops, and invoke that directly from the
regular ftrace trampoline.

With that, the patch site would look like:

	pre_func_literal:
		NOP		// Patched to a pointer to 
		NOP		// ftrace_ops
	func:
		< optional BTI here >
		NOP		// Patched to MOV X9, LR
		NOP		// Patched to a BL to the ftrace trampoline

... then in the ftrace trampoline we can recover the ops pointer at a negative
offset from the LR based on the LR, and invoke the ops from there (passing a
struct ftrace_regs with the saved regs).

That way the patch-site is less significantly affected, and there's no impact
to backtracing. That gets most of the benefit of the direct calls avoiding the
ftrace ops list traversal, without having to do anything special at all. That
should be much easier to maintain, too.

I started implementing that before LPC (and you can find some branches on my
kernel.org repo), but I haven't yet had the time to rebase those and sort out
the remaining issues:

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git/log/?h=arm64/ftrace/per-callsite-ops

Note that as a prerequisite for that I also want to reduce the set of registers
we save/restore down to the set required by our calling convention, as the
existing pt_regs is both large and generally unsound (since we can not and do
not fill in many of the fields we only acquire at an exception boundary).
That'll further reduce the ftrace overhead generally, and remove the needs for
the two trampolines we currently have. I have a WIP at:

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git/log/?h=arm64/ftrace/minimal-regs

I intend to get back to both of those shortly (along with some related bits for
kretprobes and stacktracing); I just haven't had much time recently due to
other work and illness.

> 1. Add a symbol name for literal_call.

That'll require a number of invasive changes to make RELIABLE_STACKTRACE work,
so I don't think we want to do that.

> 2. Hack the backtrace routine, if no symbol name found for a PC during backtrace,

The problem is that the existing symbolization code doesn't know the length of
the prior symbol, so it will find *some* symbol associated with the previous
function rather than finding no symbol.

To bodge around this we'dd need to special-case each patchable-function-entry
site in symbolization, which is going to be painful and slow down unwinding
unless we try to fix this up at boot-time or compile time.

This is a non-starter. We are not going to add 7 NOPs at the start of every
function.

Thanks,
Mark.

I've read this code before, but it doesn't run and since you haven't updated
it, I assumed you dropped it :(

This approach seems appropriate for dynamic ftrace trampolines, but I think
there are two more issues for bpf.

1. bpf trampoline was designed to be called directly from fentry (located in
    kernel function or bpf prog). So to make it work as ftrace_op, we may end
    up with two different bpf trampoline types on arm64, one for bpf prog and
    the other for ftrace.

2. Performance overhead, as we always jump to a static ftrace trampoline to
    construct execution environment for bpf trampoline, then jump to the bpf
    trampoline to construct execution environment for bpf prog, then jump to
    the bpf prog, so for some small bpf progs or hot functions, the calling
    overhead may be unacceptable.

Hey Xu :) Sorry I wasn't more pro-active about communicating what i
was experimenting with! A lot of conversations happened off-the-list
at LPC and LSS so I was playing on the side with the ideas that got
suggested to me. I start to have a little something to share.
Hopefully if we work closer together now we can get quicker results.

I also tried to use this but indeed the "TODO: mess with protection to
set this" in  5437aa788d needs to be addressed before we can use it.

From the conversations I've had at LPC, Steven, Mark, Jiri and Masami
(all in CC) would like to see an ftrace ops based solution (or rather,
something that doesn't require direct calls) for invoking BPF tracing
programs. I figured that the best way to move forward on the question
of whether the performance impact of that would be acceptable or not
is to just build it and measure it. I understand you're testing your
work on real hardware (I work on an emulator at the moment) , would
you be able to compare the impact of my proof of concept branch with
your direct call based approach ?

https://github.com/FlorentRevest/linux/commits/fprobe-min-args

I first tried to implement this as an ftrace op myself but realized I
was re-implementing a lot of the function graph tracer. So I then
tried to use the function graph tracer API but realized I was missing
some features which Steven had addressed in an RFC few years back. So
I rebuilt on that until I realized Masami has been upstreaming the
fprobe and rethook APIs as spiritual successors of Steven's RFC... So
I've now rebuilt yet another proof of concept based on fprobe and
rethook.

That branch is still very much WIP and there are a few things I'd like
to address before sending even an RFC (when kretprobe is built on
rethook for example, I construct pt_regs on the stack in which I copy
the content of ftrace_regs... or program linking/unlinking is racy
right now) but I think it's good enough for performance measurements
already. (fentry_fexit and lsm tests pass)

Note that I integrated this work to my branch too. I extended it to
also have fprobe and rethook save and pass ftrace_regs structures to
their callbacks. Most performance improvements would come from your
arm64/ftrace/per-callsite-ops branch but we'd need to fix the above
TODO for it to work.

Tested on my pi4, here is the result.

1. test with dd

1.1 when no bpf prog attached to vfs_write

Can you show the implementation of the indirect call you used?

Thanks for the measurements Xu!

> Can you show the implementation of the indirect call you used?

Xu used my development branch here
https://github.com/FlorentRevest/linux/commits/fprobe-min-args

As it stands, the performance impact of the fprobe based
implementation would be too high for us. I wonder how much Mark's idea
here https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git/log/?h=arm64/ftrace/per-callsite-ops
would help but it doesn't work right now.

That looks like it could be optimized quite a bit too.

Specifically this part:

static bool bpf_fprobe_entry(struct fprobe *fp, unsigned long ip, struct ftrace_regs *regs, void *private)
{
	struct bpf_fprobe_call_context *call_ctx = private;
	struct bpf_fprobe_context *fprobe_ctx = fp->ops.private;
	struct bpf_tramp_links *links = fprobe_ctx->links;
	struct bpf_tramp_links *fentry = &links[BPF_TRAMP_FENTRY];
	struct bpf_tramp_links *fmod_ret = &links[BPF_TRAMP_MODIFY_RETURN];
	struct bpf_tramp_links *fexit = &links[BPF_TRAMP_FEXIT];
	int i, ret;

	memset(&call_ctx->ctx, 0, sizeof(call_ctx->ctx));
	call_ctx->ip = ip;
	for (i = 0; i < fprobe_ctx->nr_args; i++)
		call_ctx->args[i] = ftrace_regs_get_argument(regs, i);

	for (i = 0; i < fentry->nr_links; i++)
		call_bpf_prog(fentry->links[i], &call_ctx->ctx, call_ctx->args);

	call_ctx->args[fprobe_ctx->nr_args] = 0;
	for (i = 0; i < fmod_ret->nr_links; i++) {
		ret = call_bpf_prog(fmod_ret->links[i], &call_ctx->ctx,
				      call_ctx->args);

		if (ret) {
			ftrace_regs_set_return_value(regs, ret);
			ftrace_override_function_with_return(regs);

			bpf_fprobe_exit(fp, ip, regs, private);
			return false;
		}
	}

	return fexit->nr_links;
}

There's a lot of low hanging fruit to speed up there. I wouldn't be too
fast to throw out this solution if it hasn't had the care that direct calls
have had to speed that up.

For example, trampolines currently only allow to attach to functions with 6
parameters or less (3 on x86_32). You could make 7 specific callbacks, with
zero to 6 parameters, and unroll the argument loop.

Would also be interesting to run perf to see where the overhead is. There
may be other locations to work on to make it almost as fast as direct
callers without the other baggage.

nice :) I guess you did not try to run it on x86, I had to add some small
changes and disable HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS to compile it

I can boot the change and run tests in qemu but for some reason it
won't boot on hw, so I have just perf report from qemu so far

there's fprobe/rethook machinery showing out as expected

Looks like we could just add 3 NOPs to function entry, like this:

1. At startup or when nothing attached, patch callsite to:

         literal:
                 .quad dummy_tramp
         func:
                 BTI C
                 MOV X9, LR
                 NOP
                 NOP
                 ...

2. When target is in range, patch callsite to

         literal:
                 .quad dummy_tramp
         func:
                 BTI C
                 MOV X9, LR
                 NOP
                 BL custom_trampoline
                 ...


3. Whe target is out of range, patch callsite to

         literal:
                 .quad custom_trampoline
         func:
                 BTI C
                 MOV X9, LR
                 LDR X16, literal
                 BLR X16
                 ...

Sure, we can give this a try, I'll work on a macro that generates the
7 callbacks and we can check how much that helps. My belief right now
is that ftrace's iteration over all ops on arm64 is where we lose most
time but now that we have numbers it's pretty easy to check hypothesis
:)

Ah, I forgot that's what Mark's code is doing. But yes, that needs to be
fixed first. I forget that arm64 doesn't have the dedicated trampolines yet.

So, let's hold off until that is complete.

Indeed, I haven't tried building on x86 yet, I'll have a look at what
I broke, thanks. :)
That branch is just an outline of the idea at this point anyway. Just

Thanks for the measurements Jiri! :) At this point, my hypothesis is
that the biggest part of the performance hit comes from arm64 specific
code in ftrace so I would rather wait to see what Xu finds out on his
pi4. Also, I found an arm64 board today so I should soon be able to
make measurements there too.

Mark finished an implementation of his per-callsite-ops and min-args
branches (meaning that we can now skip the expensive ftrace's saving
of all registers and iteration over all ops if only one is attached)
- https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git/log/?h=arm64-ftrace-call-ops-20221017

And Masami wrote similar patches to what I had originally done to
fprobe in my branch:
- https://github.com/mhiramat/linux/commits/kprobes/fprobe-update

So I could rebase my previous "bpf on fprobe" branch on top of these:
(as before, it's just good enough for benchmarking and to give a
general sense of the idea, not for a thorough code review):
- https://github.com/FlorentRevest/linux/commits/fprobe-min-args-3

And I could run the benchmarks against my rpi4. I have different
baseline numbers as Xu so I ran everything again and tried to keep the
format the same. "indirect call" refers to my branch I just linked and
"direct call" refers to the series this is a reply to (Xu's work)

This looks slightly better than before but it is actually still a
pretty significant performance hit compared to direct calls.

Note that I can't really make sense of the perf report with indirect
calls. it always reports it spent 12% of the time in
rethook_trampoline_handler but I verified with both a WARN in that
function and a breakpoint with a debugger, this function does *not*
get called when running this "bench trig-fentry" benchmark. Also it
wouldn't make sense for fprobe_handler to call it so I'm quite
confused why perf would report this call and such a long time spent
there. Anyone know what I could be missing here ?

The trace shows __bpf_prog_exit, which I'm guessing is tracing the end of
the function. Right?

In which case I believe it must call rethook_trampoline_handler:

 -> fprobe_handler() /* Which could use some "unlikely()" to move disabled
                        paths out of the hot path */

       /* And also calls rethook_try_get () which does a cmpxchg! */

	-> ret_hook()
		-> arch_rethook_prepare()
			Sets regs->lr = arch_rethook_trampoline

On return of the function, it jumps to arch_rethook_trampoline()

  -> arch_rethook_trampoline()
	-> arch_rethook_trampoline_callback()
		-> rethook_trampoline_handler()

So I do not know how it wouldn't trigger the WARNING or breakpoint if you
added it there.

Uhuh, apologies for my perf report formatting! I'll try to figure it
out for next time, meanwhile you can find it better formatted here

Actually no, this function is called to end the context of a BPF
program execution. Here it is called at the end of the fentry program
(so still before the traced function). I hope the pastebin helps
clarify this!

This is indeed what happens when an fexit program is also attached.
But when running "bench trig-fentry", only an fentry program is
attached so bpf_fprobe_entry returns a non-zero value and fprobe
doesn't call rethook_hook.

Also, in this situation arch_rethook_trampoline is called by the
traced function's return but in the perf report, iiuc, it shows up as
being called from fprobe_handler and that should never happen. I
wonder if this is some sort of stack unwinding artifact during the
perf record?

By the way, the WARNING does trigger if I also attach an fexit program
(then rethook_hook is called). But I made sure we skip the whole
rethook logic if no fexit program is attached so bench trig-fentry
should not go through rethook_trampoline_handler.

Thanks for sharing the measurement results. Yes, fprobes/rethook
implementation is just porting the kretprobes implementation, thus
it may not be so optimized.

BTW, I remember Wuqiang's patch for kretprobes.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210830173324.32507-1-wuqiang.matt@bytedance.com/T/#u

This is for the scalability fixing, but may possible to improve
the performance a bit. It is not hard to port to the recent kernel.
Can you try it too?

Anyway, eventually, I would like to remove the current kretprobe
based implementation and unify fexit hook with function-graph
tracer. It should make more better perfromance on it.

Thank you,

I rebased it on my branch
https://github.com/FlorentRevest/linux/commits/fprobe-min-args-3

And I got measurements again. Unfortunately it looks like this does not help :/

New benchmark results: https://paste.debian.net/1257856/
New perf report: https://paste.debian.net/1257859/

The fprobe based approach is still significantly slower than the
direct call approach.

That makes sense. :) How do you imagine the unified solution ?
Would both the fgraph and fprobe APIs keep existing but under the hood
one would be implemented on the other ? (or would one be gone ?) Would
we replace the rethook freelist with the function graph's per-task
shadow stacks ? (or the other way around ?))

I made slight progress on this. If I put the vmlinux file in the cwd
where I run perf report, the reports no longer contain references to
rethook_trampoline_handler. Instead, they have a few
0xffff800008xxxxxx addresses under fprobe_handler. (like in the
pastebin I just linked)

It's still pretty weird because that range is the vmalloc area on
arm64 and I don't understand why anything under fprobe_handler would
execute there. However, I'm also definitely sure that these 12% are
actually spent getting buffers from the rethook memory pool because if
I replace rethook_try_get and rethook_recycle calls with the usage of
a dummy static bss buffer (for the sake of benchmarking the
"theoretical best case scenario") these weird perf report traces are
gone and the 12% are saved. https://paste.debian.net/1257862/

This is why I would be interested in seeing rethook's memory pool
reimplemented on top of something like
https://lwn.net/Articles/788923/ If we get closer to the performance
of the the theoretical best case scenario where getting a blob of
memory is ~free (and I think it could be the case with a per task
shadow stack like fgraph's), then a bpf on fprobe implementation would
start to approach the performances of a direct called trampoline on
arm64: https://paste.debian.net/1257863/

Hmm, OK. That is only for the scalability.

Yes, that's right. As far as using a global object pool, there must
be a performance bottleneck to pick up an object and returning the
object to the pool. Per-CPU pool may give a better performance but
more complicated to balance pools. Per-task shadow stack will solve it.
So I plan to expand fgraph API and use it in fprobe instead of rethook.
(I planned to re-implement rethook, but I realized that it has more issue
than I thought.)

Yeah, I understand that. Rethook (and kretprobes) is not designed
for such heavy workload.

OK, I think we are on the same page and same direction.

FYI, a new version was released, basing on ring-array, which brings a 6.96%
increase in throughput of 1-thread case for ARM64.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221108071443.258794-1-wuqiang.matt@bytedance.com/

Could you share more details of the test ? I'll give it a try.

How about a private pool designate for local cpu ? If the fprobed routine
sticks to the same CPU when returning, the object allocation and reclaim
can go a quick path, that should bring same performance as shadow stack.
Otherwise the return of an object will go a slow path (slow as current
freelist or objpool).
