[PATCH bpf-next v2 0/7] Introduce BPF_MODIFY_RET tracing progs

[KP Singh]

From: KP Singh <kpsingh at google.com>

v1 -> v2:

* Adressed Andrii's feedback.
* Fixed a bug that Alexei noticed about nop generation.
* Rebase.

This was brought up in the KRSI v4 discussion and found to be useful
both for security and tracing programs.

  https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200225193108.GB22391@chromium.org/

The modify_return programs are allowed for security hooks (with an
extra CAP_MAC_ADMIN check) and functions whitelisted for error
injection (ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION).

The "security_" check is expected to be cleaned up with the KRSI patch
series.

Here is an example of how a fmod_ret program behaves:

int func_to_be_attached(int a, int b)
{  <--- do_fentry

do_fmod_ret:
   <update ret by calling fmod_ret>
   if (ret != 0)
        goto do_fexit;

original_function:

    <side_effects_happen_here>

}  <--- do_fexit

ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION(func_to_be_attached, ERRNO)

The fmod_ret program attached to this function can be defined as:

SEC("fmod_ret/func_to_be_attached")
int BPF_PROG(func_name, int a, int b, int ret)
{
        // This will skip the original function logic.
        return -1;
}

KP Singh (7):
  bpf: Refactor trampoline update code
  bpf: JIT helpers for fmod_ret progs
  bpf: Introduce BPF_MODIFY_RETURN
  bpf: Attachment verification for BPF_MODIFY_RETURN
  tools/libbpf: Add support for BPF_MODIFY_RETURN
  bpf: Add test ops for BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING
  bpf: Add selftests for BPF_MODIFY_RETURN
