bpf: Allow using bpf_sk_storage in FENTRY/FEXIT/RAW_TP

This patch enables the FENTRY/FEXIT/RAW_TP tracing program to use
the bpf_sk_storage_(get|delete) helper, so those tracing programs
can access the sk's bpf_local_storage and the later selftest
will show some examples.

The bpf_sk_storage is currently used in bpf-tcp-cc, tc,
cg sockops...etc which is running either in softirq or
task context.

This patch adds bpf_sk_storage_get_tracing_proto and
bpf_sk_storage_delete_tracing_proto. They will check
in runtime that the helpers can only be called when serving
softirq or running in a task context. That should enable
most common tracing use cases on sk.

During the load time, the new tracing_allowed() function
will ensure the tracing prog using the bpf_sk_storage_(get|delete)
helper is not tracing any bpf_sk_storage*() function itself.
The sk is passed as "void *" when calling into bpf_local_storage.

This patch only allows tracing a kernel function.

bpf: Change bpf_sk_storage_*() to accept ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID_SOCK_COMMON

This patch changes the bpf_sk_storage_*() to take
ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID_SOCK_COMMON such that they will work with the pointer
returned by the bpf_skc_to_*() helpers also.

A micro benchmark has been done on a "cgroup_skb/egress" bpf program
which does a bpf_sk_storage_get(). It was driven by netperf doing
a 4096 connected UDP_STREAM test with 64bytes packet.
The stats from "kernel.bpf_stats_enabled" shows no meaningful difference.

The sk_storage_get_btf_proto, sk_storage_delete_btf_proto,
btf_sk_storage_get_proto, and btf_sk_storage_delete_proto are
no longer needed, so they are removed.

bpf: Allow local storage to be used from LSM programs

Adds support for both bpf_{sk, inode}_storage_{get, delete} to be used
in LSM programs. These helpers are not used for tracing programs
(currently) as their usage is tied to the life-cycle of the object and
should only be used where the owning object won't be freed (when the
owning object is passed as an argument to the LSM hook). Thus, they
are safer to use in LSM hooks than tracing. Usage of local storage in
tracing programs will probably follow a per function based whitelist
approach.

Since the UAPI helper signature for bpf_sk_storage expect a bpf_sock,
it, leads to a compilation warning for LSM programs, it's also updated
to accept a void * pointer instead.

bpf: Generalize bpf_sk_storage

Refactor the functionality in bpf_sk_storage.c so that concept of
storage linked to kernel objects can be extended to other objects like
inode, task_struct etc.

Each new local storage will still be a separate map and provide its own
set of helpers. This allows for future object specific extensions and
still share a lot of the underlying implementation.

This includes the changes suggested by Martin in:

https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200725013047.4006241-1-kafai@fb.com/

adding new map operations to support bpf_local_storage maps:

* storages for different kernel objects to optionally have different
memory charging strategy (map_local_storage_charge,
map_local_storage_uncharge)
* Functionality to extract the storage pointer from a pointer to the
owning object (map_owner_storage_ptr)

bpf: INET_DIAG support in bpf_sk_storage

This patch adds INET_DIAG support to bpf_sk_storage.

1. Although this series adds bpf_sk_storage diag capability to inet sk,
bpf_sk_storage is in general applicable to all fullsock. Hence, the
bpf_sk_storage logic will operate on SK_DIAG_* nlattr. The caller
will pass in its specific nesting nlattr (e.g. INET_DIAG_*) as
the argument.

2. The request will be like:
INET_DIAG_REQ_SK_BPF_STORAGES (nla_nest) (defined in latter patch)
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE_REQ_MAP_FD (nla_put_u32)
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE_REQ_MAP_FD (nla_put_u32)
......

Considering there could have multiple bpf_sk_storages in a sk,
instead of reusing INET_DIAG_INFO ("ss -i"), the user can select
some specific bpf_sk_storage to dump by specifying an array of
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE_REQ_MAP_FD.

If no SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE_REQ_MAP_FD is specified (i.e. an empty
INET_DIAG_REQ_SK_BPF_STORAGES), it will dump all bpf_sk_storages
of a sk.

3. The reply will be like:
INET_DIAG_BPF_SK_STORAGES (nla_nest) (defined in latter patch)
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE (nla_nest)
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE_MAP_ID (nla_put_u32)
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE_MAP_VALUE (nla_reserve_64bit)
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE (nla_nest)
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE_MAP_ID (nla_put_u32)
SK_DIAG_BPF_STORAGE_MAP_VALUE (nla_reserve_64bit)
......

4. Unlike other INET_DIAG info of a sk which is pretty static, the size
required to dump the bpf_sk_storage(s) of a sk is dynamic as the
system adding more bpf_sk_storage_map. It is hard to set a static
min_dump_alloc size.

Hence, this series learns it at the runtime and adjust the
cb->min_dump_alloc as it iterates all sk(s) of a system. The
"unsigned int *res_diag_size" in bpf_sk_storage_diag_put()
is for this purpose.

The next patch will update the cb->min_dump_alloc as it
iterates the sk(s).

bpf: Introduce bpf sk local storage

After allowing a bpf prog to
- directly read the skb->sk ptr
- get the fullsock bpf_sock by "bpf_sk_fullsock()"
- get the bpf_tcp_sock by "bpf_tcp_sock()"
- get the listener sock by "bpf_get_listener_sock()"
- avoid duplicating the fields of "(bpf_)sock" and "(bpf_)tcp_sock"
into different bpf running context.

this patch is another effort to make bpf's network programming
more intuitive to do (together with memory and performance benefit).

When bpf prog needs to store data for a sk, the current practice is to
define a map with the usual 4-tuples (src/dst ip/port) as the key.
If multiple bpf progs require to store different sk data, multiple maps
have to be defined. Hence, wasting memory to store the duplicated
keys (i.e. 4 tuples here) in each of the bpf map.
[ The smallest key could be the sk pointer itself which requires
some enhancement in the verifier and it is a separate topic. ]

Also, the bpf prog needs to clean up the elem when sk is freed.
Otherwise, the bpf map will become full and un-usable quickly.
The sk-free tracking currently could be done during sk state
transition (e.g. BPF_SOCK_OPS_STATE_CB).

The size of the map needs to be predefined which then usually ended-up
with an over-provisioned map in production. Even the map was re-sizable,
while the sk naturally come and go away already, this potential re-size
operation is arguably redundant if the data can be directly connected
to the sk itself instead of proxy-ing through a bpf map.

This patch introduces sk->sk_bpf_storage to provide local storage space
at sk for bpf prog to use. The space will be allocated when the first bpf
prog has created data for this particular sk.

The design optimizes the bpf prog's lookup (and then optionally followed by
an inline update). bpf_spin_lock should be used if the inline update needs
to be protected.

BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE:
-----------------------
To define a bpf "sk-local-storage", a BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE map (new in
this patch) needs to be created. Multiple BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE maps can
be created to fit different bpf progs' needs. The map enforces
BTF to allow printing the sk-local-storage during a system-wise
sk dump (e.g. "ss -ta") in the future.

The purpose of a BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE map is not for lookup/update/delete
a "sk-local-storage" data from a particular sk.
Think of the map as a meta-data (or "type") of a "sk-local-storage". This
particular "type" of "sk-local-storage" data can then be stored in any sk.

The main purposes of this map are mostly:
1. Define the size of a "sk-local-storage" type.
2. Provide a similar syscall userspace API as the map (e.g. lookup/update,
map-id, map-btf...etc.)
3. Keep track of all sk's storages of this "type" and clean them up
when the map is freed.

sk->sk_bpf_storage:
------------------
The main lookup/update/delete is done on sk->sk_bpf_storage (which
is a "struct bpf_sk_storage"). When doing a lookup,
the "map" pointer is now used as the "key" to search on the
sk_storage->list. The "map" pointer is actually serving
as the "type" of the "sk-local-storage" that is being
requested.

To allow very fast lookup, it should be as fast as looking up an
array at a stable-offset. At the same time, it is not ideal to
set a hard limit on the number of sk-local-storage "type" that the
system can have. Hence, this patch takes a cache approach.
The last search result from sk_storage->list is cached in
sk_storage->cache[] which is a stable sized array. Each
"sk-local-storage" type has a stable offset to the cache[] array.
In the future, a map's flag could be introduced to do cache
opt-out/enforcement if it became necessary.

The cache size is 16 (i.e. 16 types of "sk-local-storage").
Programs can share map. On the program side, having a few bpf_progs
running in the networking hotpath is already a lot. The bpf_prog
should have already consolidated the existing sock-key-ed map usage
to minimize the map lookup penalty. 16 has enough runway to grow.

All sk-local-storage data will be removed from sk->sk_bpf_storage
during sk destruction.

bpf_sk_storage_get() and bpf_sk_storage_delete():
------------------------------------------------
Instead of using bpf_map_(lookup|update|delete)_elem(),
the bpf prog needs to use the new helper bpf_sk_storage_get() and
bpf_sk_storage_delete(). The verifier can then enforce the
ARG_PTR_TO_SOCKET argument. The bpf_sk_storage_get() also allows to
"create" new elem if one does not exist in the sk. It is done by
the new BPF_SK_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE flag. An optional value can also be
provided as the initial value during BPF_SK_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE.
The BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE also supports bpf_spin_lock. Together,
it has eliminated the potential use cases for an equivalent
bpf_map_update_elem() API (for bpf_prog) in this patch.

Misc notes:
----------
1. map_get_next_key is not supported. From the userspace syscall
perspective, the map has the socket fd as the key while the map
can be shared by pinned-file or map-id.

Since btf is enforced, the existing "ss" could be enhanced to pretty
print the local-storage.

Supporting a kernel defined btf with 4 tuples as the return key could
be explored later also.

2. The sk->sk_lock cannot be acquired. Atomic operations is used instead.
e.g. cmpxchg is done on the sk->sk_bpf_storage ptr.
Please refer to the source code comments for the details in
synchronization cases and considerations.

3. The mem is charged to the sk->sk_omem_alloc as the sk filter does.

Benchmark:
---------
Here is the benchmark data collected by turning on
the "kernel.bpf_stats_enabled" sysctl.
Two bpf progs are tested:

One bpf prog with the usual bpf hashmap (max_entries = 8192) with the
sk ptr as the key. (verifier is modified to support sk ptr as the key
That should have shortened the key lookup time.)

Another bpf prog is with the new BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE.

Both are storing a "u32 cnt", do a lookup on "egress_skb/cgroup" for
each egress skb and then bump the cnt. netperf is used to drive
data with 4096 connected UDP sockets.
