libbpf: Fix potential uninitialized tail padding with LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET
Martin reported that there is a libbpf complaining of non-zero-value tail
padding with LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET macro if struct bpf_netkit_opts is modified
to have a 4-byte tail padding. This only happens to clang compiler.
The commend line is: ./test_progs -t tc_netkit_multi_links
Martin and I did some investigation and found this indeed the case and
the following are the investigation details.
Clang:
clang version 18.0.0
<I tried clang15/16/17 and they all have similar results>
tools/lib/bpf/libbpf_common.h:
#define LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET(NAME, ...) \
do { \
memset(&NAME, 0, sizeof(NAME)); \
NAME = (typeof(NAME)) { \
.sz = sizeof(NAME), \
__VA_ARGS__ \
}; \
} while (0)
#endif
tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h:
struct bpf_netkit_opts {
/* size of this struct, for forward/backward compatibility */
size_t sz;
__u32 flags;
__u32 relative_fd;
__u32 relative_id;
__u64 expected_revision;
size_t :0;
};
#define bpf_netkit_opts__last_field expected_revision
In the above struct bpf_netkit_opts, there is no tail padding.
prog_tests/tc_netkit.c:
static void serial_test_tc_netkit_multi_links_target(int mode, int target)
{
...
LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_netkit_opts, optl);
...
LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET(optl,
.flags = BPF_F_BEFORE,
.relative_fd = bpf_program__fd(skel->progs.tc1),
);
...
}
Let us make the following source change, note that we have a 4-byte
tailing padding now.

The clang 18 generated asm code looks like below:

; link = bpf_program__attach_netkit(skel->progs.tc2, ifindex, &optl);
At -O0 level, the clang compiler creates an intermediate copy.
We have below to store 'flags' with 4-byte store and leave another 4 byte
in the same 8-byte-aligned storage undefined,
5629: c7 85 28 fd ff ff 08 00 00 00 movl $0x8, -0x2d8(%rbp)
and later we store 8-byte to the original zero'ed buffer
5654: 48 8b 85 28 fd ff ff movq -0x2d8(%rbp), %rax
565b: 48 89 45 b0 movq %rax, -0x50(%rbp)
This caused a problem as the 4-byte value at [%rbp-0x2dc, %rbp-0x2e0)
may be garbage.
gcc (gcc 11.4) does not have this issue as it does zeroing struct first before
doing assignments:
; LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET(optl,
50fd: 48 8d 85 40 fc ff ff leaq -0x3c0(%rbp), %rax
5104: ba 20 00 00 00 movl $0x20, %edx
5109: be 00 00 00 00 movl $0x0, %esi
510e: 48 89 c7 movq %rax, %rdi
5111: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 0x5116 <serial_test_tc_netkit_multi_links_target+0x1522>

511a: 48 8b 40 18 movq 0x18(%rax), %rax
511e: 48 89 c7 movq %rax, %rdi
5121: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 0x5126 <serial_test_tc_netkit_multi_links_target+0x1532>
5126: 48 c7 85 40 fc ff ff 00 00 00 00 movq $0x0, -0x3c0(%rbp)
5131: 48 c7 85 48 fc ff ff 00 00 00 00 movq $0x0, -0x3b8(%rbp)
513c: 48 c7 85 50 fc ff ff 00 00 00 00 movq $0x0, -0x3b0(%rbp)
5147: 48 c7 85 58 fc ff ff 00 00 00 00 movq $0x0, -0x3a8(%rbp)
5152: 48 c7 85 40 fc ff ff 20 00 00 00 movq $0x20, -0x3c0(%rbp)
515d: 89 85 48 fc ff ff movl %eax, -0x3b8(%rbp)
5163: c7 85 58 fc ff ff 08 00 00 00 movl $0x8, -0x3a8(%rbp)
; link = bpf_program__attach_netkit(skel->progs.tc2, ifindex, &optl);
It is not clear how to resolve the compiler code generation as the compiler
generates correct code w.r.t. how to handle unnamed padding in C standard.
So this patch changed LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET macro to avoid uninitialized tail
padding. We already knows LIBBPF_OPTS macro works on both gcc and clang,
even with tail padding. So LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET is changed to be a
LIBBPF_OPTS followed by a memcpy(), thus avoiding uninitialized tail padding.
The below is asm code generated with this patch and with clang compiler:
; LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET(optl,
55e3: 48 8d bd 10 fd ff ff leaq -0x2f0(%rbp), %rdi
55ea: 31 f6 xorl %esi, %esi

560c: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 0x5611 <serial_test_tc_netkit_multi_links_target+0x18f1>
5611: 89 85 18 fd ff ff movl %eax, -0x2e8(%rbp)
5617: c7 85 1c fd ff ff 00 00 00 00 movl $0x0, -0x2e4(%rbp)
5621: 48 c7 85 20 fd ff ff 00 00 00 00 movq $0x0, -0x2e0(%rbp)
562c: c7 85 28 fd ff ff 08 00 00 00 movl $0x8, -0x2d8(%rbp)
5636: 48 8b 85 10 fd ff ff movq -0x2f0(%rbp), %rax
563d: 48 89 45 98 movq %rax, -0x68(%rbp)
5641: 48 8b 85 18 fd ff ff movq -0x2e8(%rbp), %rax
5648: 48 89 45 a0 movq %rax, -0x60(%rbp)
564c: 48 8b 85 20 fd ff ff movq -0x2e0(%rbp), %rax
5653: 48 89 45 a8 movq %rax, -0x58(%rbp)
5657: 48 8b 85 28 fd ff ff movq -0x2d8(%rbp), %rax
565e: 48 89 45 b0 movq %rax, -0x50(%rbp)
; link = bpf_program__attach_netkit(skel->progs.tc2, ifindex, &optl);
In the above code, a temporary buffer is zeroed and then has proper value assigned.
Finally, values in temporary buffer are copied to the original variable buffer,
hence tail padding is guaranteed to be 0.

libbpf: Unify low-level BPF_PROG_LOAD APIs into bpf_prog_load()
Add a new unified OPTS-based low-level API for program loading,
bpf_prog_load() ([0]). bpf_prog_load() accepts few "mandatory"
parameters as input arguments (program type, name, license,
instructions) and all the other optional (as in not required to specify
for all types of BPF programs) fields into struct bpf_prog_load_opts.
This makes all the other non-extensible APIs variant for BPF_PROG_LOAD
obsolete and they are slated for deprecation in libbpf v0.7:
- bpf_load_program();
- bpf_load_program_xattr();
- bpf_verify_program().
Implementation-wise, internal helper libbpf__bpf_prog_load is refactored
to become a public bpf_prog_load() API. struct bpf_prog_load_params used
internally is replaced by public struct bpf_prog_load_opts.
Unfortunately, while conceptually all this is pretty straightforward,
the biggest complication comes from the already existing bpf_prog_load()
*high-level* API, which has nothing to do with BPF_PROG_LOAD command.
We try really hard to have a new API named bpf_prog_load(), though,
because it maps naturally to BPF_PROG_LOAD command.
For that, we rename old bpf_prog_load() into bpf_prog_load_deprecated()
and mark it as COMPAT_VERSION() for shared library users compiled
against old version of libbpf. Statically linked users and shared lib
users compiled against new version of libbpf headers will get "rerouted"
to bpf_prog_deprecated() through a macro helper that decides whether to
use new or old bpf_prog_load() based on number of input arguments (see
___libbpf_overload in libbpf_common.h).
To test that existing
bpf_prog_load()-using code compiles and works as expected, I've compiled
and ran selftests as is. I had to remove (locally) selftest/bpf/Makefile
-Dbpf_prog_load=bpf_prog_test_load hack because it was conflicting with
the macro-based overload approach. I don't expect anyone else to do
something like this in practice, though. This is testing-specific way to
replace bpf_prog_load() calls with special testing variant of it, which
adds extra prog_flags value. After testing I kept this selftests hack,
but ensured that we use a new bpf_prog_load_deprecated name for this.
This patch also marks bpf_prog_load() and bpf_prog_load_xattr() as deprecated.
bpf_object interface has to be used for working with struct bpf_program.
Libbpf doesn't support loading just a bpf_program.
The silver lining is that when we get to libbpf 1.0 all these
complication will be gone and we'll have one clean bpf_prog_load()
low-level API with no backwards compatibility hackery surrounding it.

libbpf: Add LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE macro for scheduling API deprecations
Introduce a macro LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE(major, minor, message) to prepare
the deprecation of two API functions. This macro marks functions as deprecated
when libbpf's version reaches the values passed as an argument.
As part of this change libbpf_version.h header is added with recorded major
(LIBBPF_MAJOR_VERSION) and minor (LIBBPF_MINOR_VERSION) libbpf version macros.
They are now part of libbpf public API and can be relied upon by user code.
libbpf_version.h is installed system-wide along other libbpf public headers.
Due to this new build-time auto-generated header, in-kernel applications
relying on libbpf (resolve_btfids, bpftool, bpf_preload) are updated to
include libbpf's output directory as part of a list of include search paths.
Better fix would be to use libbpf's make_install target to install public API
headers, but that clean up is left out as a future improvement. The build
changes were tested by building kernel (with KBUILD_OUTPUT and O= specified
explicitly), bpftool, libbpf, selftests/bpf, and resolve_btfids builds. No
problems were detected.
Note that because of the constraints of the C preprocessor we have to write
a few lines of macro magic for each version used to prepare deprecation (0.6
for now).
Also, use LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE() to schedule deprecation of
btf__get_from_id() and btf__load(), which are replaced by
btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() and btf__load_into_kernel(), respectively,
starting from future libbpf v0.6. This is part of libbpf 1.0 effort ([0]).
