Add support for deferred userspace unwind to perf.
Where perf currently relies on in-place stack unwinding; from NMI
context and all that. This moves the userspace part of the unwind to
right before the return-to-userspace.
This has two distinct benefits, the biggest is that it moves the
unwind to a faultable context. It becomes possible to fault in debug
info (.eh_frame, SFrame etc.) that might not otherwise be readily
available. And secondly, it de-duplicates the user callchain where
multiple samples happen during the same kernel entry.
To facilitate this the perf interface is extended with a new record
type:
PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED
and two new attribute flags:
perf_event_attr::defer_callchain - to request the user unwind be deferred
perf_event_attr::defer_output - to request PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED records
The existing PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE callchain section gets a new
context type:
PERF_CONTEXT_USER_DEFERRED
After which will come a single entry, denoting the 'cookie' of the
deferred callchain that should be attached here, matching the 'cookie'
field of the above mentioned PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED.
The 'defer_callchain' flag is expected on all events with
PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN. The 'defer_output' flag is expect on the event
responsible for collecting side-band events (like mmap, comm etc.).
Setting 'defer_output' on multiple events will get you duplicated
PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED records.

Extract the duplicated maximum allowed depth computation for stack
traces stored in BPF stacks from bpf_get_stackid() and __bpf_get_stack()
into a dedicated stack_map_calculate_max_depth() helper function.
This unifies the logic for:
- The max depth computation
- Enforcing the sysctl_perf_event_max_stack limit
No functional changes for existing code paths.

The stacktrace map can be easily full, which will lead to failure in
obtaining the stack. In addition to increasing the size of the map,
another solution is to delete the stack_id after looking it up from
the user, so extend the existing bpf_map_lookup_and_delete_elem()
functionality to stacktrace map types.

Add sleepable implementations of bpf_get_stack() and
bpf_get_task_stack() helpers and allow them to be used from sleepable
BPF program (e.g., sleepable uprobes).
Note, the stack trace IPs capturing itself is not sleepable (that would
need to be a separate project), only build ID fetching is sleepable and
thus more reliable, as it will wait for data to be paged in, if
necessary. For that we make use of sleepable build_id_parse()
implementation.
Now that build ID related internals in kernel/bpf/stackmap.c can be used
both in sleepable and non-sleepable contexts, we need to add additional
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() protection around fetching
perf_callchain_entry, but with the refactoring in previous commit it's
now pretty straightforward. We make sure to do rcu_read_unlock (in
sleepable mode only) right before stack_map_get_build_id_offset() call
which can sleep. By that time we don't have any more use of
perf_callchain_entry.
Note, bpf_get_task_stack() will fail for user mode if task != current.
And for kernel mode build ID are irrelevant. So in that sense adding
sleepable bpf_get_task_stack() implementation is a no-op. It feel right
to wire this up for symmetry and completeness, but I'm open to just
dropping it until we support `user && crosstask` condition.

Change stack_map_get_build_id_offset() which is used to convert stack
trace IP addresses into build ID+offset pairs. Right now this function
accepts an array of u64s as an input, and uses array of
struct bpf_stack_build_id as an output.
This is problematic because u64 array is coming from
perf_callchain_entry, which is (non-sleepable) RCU protected, so once we
allows sleepable build ID fetching, this all breaks down.
But its actually pretty easy to make stack_map_get_build_id_offset()
works with array of struct bpf_stack_build_id as both input and output.
Which is what this patch is doing, eliminating the dependency on
perf_callchain_entry. We require caller to fill out
bpf_stack_build_id.ip fields (all other can be left uninitialized), and
update in place as we do build ID resolution.
We make sure to READ_ONCE() and cache locally current IP value as we
used it in a few places to find matching VMA and so on. Given this data
is directly accessible and modifiable by user's BPF code, we should make
sure to have a consistent view of it.

Make it clear that build_id_parse() assumes that it can take no page
fault by renaming it and current few users to build_id_parse_nofault().
Also add build_id_parse() stub which for now falls back to non-sleepable
implementation, but will be changed in subsequent patches to take
advantage of sleepable context. PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl() on
/proc/<pid>/maps file is using build_id_parse() and will automatically
take advantage of more reliable sleepable context implementation.

The stackmap code relies on roundup_pow_of_two() to compute the number
of hash buckets, and contains an overflow check by checking if the
resulting value is 0. However, on 32-bit arches, the roundup code itself
can overflow by doing a 32-bit left-shift of an unsigned long value,
which is undefined behaviour, so it is not guaranteed to truncate
neatly. This was triggered by syzbot on the DEVMAP_HASH type, which
contains the same check, copied from the hashtab code.
The commit in the fixes tag actually attempted to fix this, but the fix
did not account for the UB, so the fix only works on CPUs where an
overflow does result in a neat truncation to zero, which is not
guaranteed. Checking the value before rounding does not have this
problem.

Currently get_perf_callchain only supports user stack walking for
the current task. Passing the correct *crosstask* param will return
0 frames if the task passed to __bpf_get_stack isn't the current
one instead of a single incorrect frame/address. This change
passes the correct *crosstask* param but also does a preemptive
check in __bpf_get_stack if the task is current and returns
-EOPNOTSUPP if it is not.
This issue was found using bpf_get_task_stack inside a BPF
iterator ("iter/task"), which iterates over all tasks.
bpf_get_task_stack works fine for fetching kernel stacks
but because get_perf_callchain relies on the caller to know
if the requested *task* is the current one (via *crosstask*)
it was failing in a confusing way.
It might be possible to get user stacks for all tasks utilizing
something like access_process_vm but that requires the bpf
program calling bpf_get_task_stack to be sleepable and would
therefore be a breaking change.

This patch changes the return types of bpf_map_ops functions to long, where
previously int was returned. Using long allows for bpf programs to maintain
the sign bit in the absence of sign extension during situations where
inlined bpf helper funcs make calls to the bpf_map_ops funcs and a negative
error is returned.
The definitions of the helper funcs are generated from comments in the bpf
uapi header at `include/uapi/linux/bpf.h`. The return type of these
helpers was previously changed from int to long in commit bdb7b79b4c. For
any case where one of the map helpers call the bpf_map_ops funcs that are
still returning 32-bit int, a compiler might not include sign extension
instructions to properly convert the 32-bit negative value a 64-bit
negative value.
For example:
bpf assembly excerpt of an inlined helper calling a kernel function and
checking for a specific error:
; err = bpf_map_update_elem(&mymap, &key, &val, BPF_NOEXIST);
...
46: call 0xffffffffe103291c ; htab_map_update_elem
; if (err && err != -EEXIST) {
4b: cmp $0xffffffffffffffef,%rax ; cmp -EEXIST,%rax
kernel function assembly excerpt of return value from
`htab_map_update_elem` returning 32-bit int:
movl $0xffffffef, %r9d
...
movl %r9d, %eax
...results in the comparison:
cmp $0xffffffffffffffef, $0x00000000ffffffef

Let's say that the caller has storage for num_elem stack frames. Then,
the BPF stack helper functions walk the stack for only num_elem frames.
This means that if skip > 0, one keeps only 'num_elem - skip' frames.
This is because it sets init_nr in the perf_callchain_entry to the end
of the buffer to save num_elem entries only. I believe it was because
the perf callchain code unwound the stack frames until it reached the
global max size (sysctl_perf_event_max_stack).
However it now has perf_callchain_entry_ctx.max_stack to limit the
iteration locally. This simplifies the code to handle init_nr in the
BPF callstack entries and removes the confusion with the perf_event's
__PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN_EARLY which sets init_nr to 0.
Also change the comment on bpf_get_stack() in the header file to be
more explicit what the return value means.

For binaries that are statically linked, consecutive stack frames are
likely to be in the same VMA and therefore have the same build id.
On a real-world workload, we observed that 66% of CPU cycles in
__bpf_get_stackid() were spent on build_id_parse() and find_vma().
As an optimization for this case, we can cache the previous frame's
VMA, if the new frame has the same VMA as the previous one, reuse the
previous one's build id.
We are holding the MM locks as reader across the entire loop, so we
don't need to worry about VMA going away.
Tested through "stacktrace_build_id" and "stacktrace_build_id_nmi" in
test_progs.

In some profiler use cases, it is necessary to map an address to the
backing file, e.g., a shared library. bpf_find_vma helper provides a
flexible way to achieve this. bpf_find_vma maps an address of a task to
the vma (vm_area_struct) for this address, and feed the vma to an callback
BPF function. The callback function is necessary here, as we need to
ensure mmap_sem is unlocked.
It is necessary to lock mmap_sem for find_vma. To lock and unlock mmap_sem
safely when irqs are disable, we use the same mechanism as stackmap with
build_id. Specifically, when irqs are disabled, the unlocked is postponed
in an irq_work. Refactor stackmap.c so that the irq_work is shared among
bpf_find_vma and stackmap helpers.
