Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Allow LPM map access from sleepable BPF programs

trie_lookup_elem() annotates its rcu_dereference_check() walks with
only rcu_read_lock_bh_held().  Because rcu_dereference_check(p, c)
resolves to "c || rcu_read_lock_held()", this passes for XDP/NAPI and
classic RCU readers but fails for sleepable BPF programs, which enter
via __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable() and hold only rcu_read_lock_trace().

trie_update_elem() and trie_delete_elem() have the same problem in a
different form: they walk the trie with plain rcu_dereference(), which
asserts rcu_read_lock_held() unconditionally.  Both are reachable from
sleepable BPF programs via the bpf_map_update_elem / bpf_map_delete_elem
helpers, and from the syscall path under classic rcu_read_lock().  In
the writer paths the trie is actually protected by trie->lock (an
rqspinlock taken across the walk); we never relied on the RCU read-side
lock to keep nodes alive there.

A sleepable LSM hook that ends up touching an LPM trie therefore
triggers lockdep on debug kernels:

  =============================
  WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
  7.1.0-... Tainted: G            E
  -----------------------------
  kernel/bpf/lpm_trie.c:249 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
  1 lock held by net_tests/540:
   #0: (rcu_tasks_trace_srcu_struct){....}-{0:0},
       at: __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable+0x26/0x280

   bpf_prog_..._enforce_security_socket_connect
   bpf_trampoline_...
   security_socket_connect
   __sys_connect
   do_syscall_64

This is lockdep-only -- no UAF, since Tasks Trace RCU does serialize
against the trie's reclaim path -- but it spams the console once per
distinct callsite on every debug kernel running a sleepable BPF LSM
that touches an LPM trie, which is increasingly common.

For the lookup path, switch the rcu_dereference_check() annotation
from rcu_read_lock_bh_held() to bpf_rcu_lock_held(), which accepts all
three contexts (classic, BH, Tasks Trace).  Other map types already
follow this convention.

For trie_update_elem() and trie_delete_elem(), annotate the walks as
rcu_dereference_protected(*p, 1) -- matching trie_free() in the same
file -- since trie->lock is held across the walk.  rqspinlock has no
lockdep_map, so the predicate degenerates to '1' rather than
lockdep_is_held(&trie->lock); the protection is real but not
machine-verifiable.  trie_get_next_key() also uses bare
rcu_dereference() but is reachable only from the BPF syscall, which
holds classic rcu_read_lock() before dispatching, so it is left
untouched.

We have many places which open-code what's now is bpf_rcu_lock_held()
macro, so replace all those places with a clean and short macro invocation.
For that, move bpf_rcu_lock_held() macro into include/linux/bpf.h.

trie_lookup_elem() annotates its rcu_dereference_check() walks with
only rcu_read_lock_bh_held().  Because rcu_dereference_check(p, c)

asserts rcu_read_lock_held() unconditionally.  Both are reachable from
sleepable BPF programs via the bpf_map_update_elem / bpf_map_delete_elem

A sleepable LSM hook that ends up touching an LPM trie therefore
triggers lockdep on debug kernels:

[ Upstream commit 47979314c0fe245ed54306e2f91b3f819c7c0f9f ]

Convert all LPM trie usage of raw_spinlock to rqspinlock.

Note that rcu_dereference_protected in trie_delete_elem is switched over
to plain rcu_dereference, the RCU read lock should be held from BPF
program side or eBPF syscall path, and the trie->lock is just acquired
before the dereference. It is not clear the reason the protected variant
was used from the commit history, but the above reasoning makes sense so
switch over.

[ Upstream commit 2f884d371fafea137afea504d49ee4a7c8d7985b ]

trie_lookup_elem() annotates its rcu_dereference_check() walks with
only rcu_read_lock_bh_held().  Because rcu_dereference_check(p, c)
resolves to "c || rcu_read_lock_held()", this passes for XDP/NAPI and
classic RCU readers but fails for sleepable BPF programs, which enter
via __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable() and hold only rcu_read_lock_trace().

trie_update_elem() and trie_delete_elem() have the same problem in a
different form: they walk the trie with plain rcu_dereference(), which
asserts rcu_read_lock_held() unconditionally.  Both are reachable from
sleepable BPF programs via the bpf_map_update_elem / bpf_map_delete_elem
helpers, and from the syscall path under classic rcu_read_lock().  In
the writer paths the trie is actually protected by trie->lock (an
rqspinlock taken across the walk); we never relied on the RCU read-side
lock to keep nodes alive there.

A sleepable LSM hook that ends up touching an LPM trie therefore
triggers lockdep on debug kernels:

  =============================
  WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
  7.1.0-... Tainted: G            E
  -----------------------------
  kernel/bpf/lpm_trie.c:249 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
  1 lock held by net_tests/540:
   #0: (rcu_tasks_trace_srcu_struct){....}-{0:0},
       at: __bpf_prog_enter_sleepable+0x26/0x280
  Call Trace:

   trie_lookup_elem
   bpf_prog_..._enforce_security_socket_connect
   bpf_trampoline_...
   security_socket_connect
   __sys_connect
   do_syscall_64

This is lockdep-only -- no UAF, since Tasks Trace RCU does serialize
against the trie's reclaim path -- but it spams the console once per
distinct callsite on every debug kernel running a sleepable BPF LSM
that touches an LPM trie, which is increasingly common.

For the lookup path, switch the rcu_dereference_check() annotation
from rcu_read_lock_bh_held() to bpf_rcu_lock_held(), which accepts all
three contexts (classic, BH, Tasks Trace).  Other map types already
follow this convention.

For trie_update_elem() and trie_delete_elem(), annotate the walks as
rcu_dereference_protected(*p, 1) -- matching trie_free() in the same
file -- since trie->lock is held across the walk.  rqspinlock has no
lockdep_map, so the predicate degenerates to '1' rather than
lockdep_is_held(&trie->lock); the protection is real but not
machine-verifiable.  trie_get_next_key() also uses bare
rcu_dereference() but is reachable only from the BPF syscall, which
holds classic rcu_read_lock() before dispatching, so it is left
untouched.
