This series is based on torvalds/master.
The series is split up like so:
- Patch 1 is a simple fixup which we should take in any case (even by itself).
- Patches 2-5 add the feature, configurable selftest support, and docs.
Why not ...?
============
- Why not /proc/[pid]/userfaultfd? Two main points (additional discussion [1]):
- /proc/[pid]/* files are all owned by the user/group of the process, and
they don't really support chmod/chown. So, without extending procfs it
doesn't solve the problem this series is trying to solve.
- The main argument *for* this was to support creating UFFDs for remote
processes. But, that use case clearly calls for CAP_SYS_PTRACE, so to
support this we could just use the UFFD syscall as-is.
- Why not use a syscall? Access to syscalls is generally controlled by
capabilities. We don't have a capability which is used for userfaultfd access
without also granting more / other permissions as well, and adding a new
capability was rejected [2].
- It's possible a LSM could be used to control access instead, but I have
some concerns. I don't think this approach would be as easy to use,
particularly if we were to try to solve this with something heavyweight
like SELinux. Maybe we could pursue adding a new LSM specifically for
this user case, but it may be too narrow of a case to justify that.
Changelog
=========
v4->v5:
- Call userfaultfd_syscall_allowed() directly in the syscall, so we don't
have to plumb a flag into new_userfaultfd(). [Nadav]
- Refactored run_vmtests.sh to loop over UFFD test mods. [Nadav]
- Reworded cover letter.
- Picked up some Acked-by's.
v3->v4:
- Picked up an Acked-by on 5/5.
- Updated cover letter to cover "why not ...".
- Refactored userfaultfd_allowed() into userfaultfd_syscall_allowed(). [Peter]
- Removed obsolete comment from a previous version. [Peter]
- Refactored userfaultfd_open() in selftest. [Peter]
- Reworded admin-guide documentation. [Mike, Peter]
- Squashed 2 commits adding /dev/userfaultfd to selftest and making selftest
configurable. [Peter]
- Added "syscall" test modifier (the default behavior) to selftest. [Peter]
v2->v3:
- Rebased onto linux-next/akpm-base, in order to be based on top of the
run_vmtests.sh refactor which was merged previously.
- Picked up some Reviewed-by's.
- Fixed ioctl definition (_IO instead of _IOWR), and stopped using
compat_ptr_ioctl since it is unneeded for ioctls which don't take a pointer.

logically equivalent, but simpler.
- Fixed userfaultfd selftest so it returns KSFT_SKIP appropriately.
- Reworded documentation per Shuah's feedback on v2.
- Improved example usage for userfaultfd selftest.
v1->v2:

2.37.1.559.g78731f0fdb-goog
QUIC requires end to end encryption of the data. The application usually
prepares the data in clear text, encrypts and calls send() which implies
multiple copies of the data before the packets hit the networking stack.
Similar to kTLS, QUIC kernel offload of cryptography reduces the memory
pressure by reducing the number of copies.
The scope of kernel support is limited to the symmetric cryptography,
leaving the handshake to the user space library. For QUIC in particular,
the application packets that require symmetric cryptography are the 1RTT
packets with short headers. Kernel will encrypt the application packets
on transmission and decrypt on receive. This series implements Tx only,
because in QUIC server applications Tx outweighs Rx by orders of
magnitude.
Supporting the combination of QUIC and GSO requires the application to
correctly place the data and the kernel to correctly slice it. The
encryption process appends an arbitrary number of bytes (tag) to the end
of the message to authenticate it. The GSO value should include this
overhead, the offload would then subtract the tag size to parse the
input on Tx before chunking and encrypting it.
With the kernel cryptography, the buffer copy operation is conjoined
with the encryption operation. The memory bandwidth is reduced by 5-8%.
When devices supporting QUIC encryption in hardware come to the market,
we will be able to free further 7% of CPU utilization which is used
today for crypto operations.

One of the desirable features in security is the ability to restrict import
of data to a given system based on data authenticity. If data import can be
restricted, it would be possible to enforce a system-wide policy based on
the signing keys the system owner trusts.
This feature is widely used in the kernel. For example, if the restriction
is enabled, kernel modules can be plugged in only if they are signed with a
key whose public part is in the primary or secondary keyring.
For eBPF, it can be useful as well. For example, it might be useful to
authenticate data an eBPF program makes security decisions on.
After a discussion in the eBPF mailing list, it was decided that the stated
goal should be accomplished by introducing four new kfuncs:
bpf_lookup_user_key() and bpf_lookup_system_key(), for retrieving a keyring
with keys trusted for signature verification, respectively from its serial
and from a pre-determined ID; bpf_key_put(), to release the reference
obtained with the former two kfuncs, bpf_verify_pkcs7_signature(), for
verifying PKCS#7 signatures.
Other than the key serial, bpf_lookup_user_key() also accepts key lookup
flags, that influence the behavior of the lookup. bpf_lookup_system_key()
accepts pre-determined IDs defined in include/linux/verification.h.
bpf_key_put() accepts the new bpf_key structure, introduced to tell whether
the other structure member, a key pointer, is valid or not. The reason is
that verify_pkcs7_signature() also accepts invalid pointers, set with the
pre-determined ID, to select a system-defined keyring. key_put() must be
called only for valid key pointers.
Since the two key lookup functions allocate memory and one increments a key
reference count, they must be used in conjunction with bpf_key_put(). The
latter must be called only if the lookup functions returned a non-NULL
pointer. The verifier denies the execution of eBPF programs that don't
respect this rule.
The two key lookup functions should be used in alternative, depending on
the use case. While bpf_lookup_user_key() provides great flexibility, it
seems suboptimal in terms of security guarantees, as even if the eBPF
program is assumed to be trusted, the serial used to obtain the key pointer
might come from untrusted user space not choosing one that the system
administrator approves to enforce a mandatory policy.
bpf_lookup_system_key() instead provides much stronger guarantees,
especially if the pre-determined ID is not passed by user space but is
hardcoded in the eBPF program, and that program is signed. In this case,
bpf_verify_pkcs7_signature() will always perform signature verification
with a key that the system administrator approves, i.e. the primary,
secondary or platform keyring.
Nevertheless, key permission checks need to be done accurately. Since
bpf_lookup_user_key() cannot determine how a key will be used by other
kfuncs, it has to defer the permission check to the actual kfunc using the
key. It does it by calling lookup_user_key() with KEY_DEFER_PERM_CHECK as
needed permission. Later, bpf_verify_pkcs7_signature(), if called,
completes the permission check by calling key_validate(). It does not need
to call key_task_permission() with permission KEY_NEED_SEARCH, as it is
already done elsewhere by the key subsystem. Future kfuncs using the
bpf_key structure need to implement the proper checks as well.
Finally, the last kfunc, bpf_verify_pkcs7_signature(), accepts the data and
signature to verify as eBPF dynamic pointers, to minimize the number of
kfunc parameters, and the keyring with keys for signature verification as a
bpf_key structure, returned by one of the two key lookup functions.
bpf_lookup_user_key() and bpf_verify_pkcs7_signature() can be called only
from sleepable programs, because of memory allocation and crypto
operations. For example, the lsm.s/bpf attach point is suitable,
fexit/array_map_update_elem is not.
The correctness of implementation of the new kfuncs and of their usage is
checked with the introduced tests.
The patch set includes a patch from another author (dependency) for sake of
completeness. It is organized as follows.
Patch 1 from KP Singh allows kfuncs to be used by LSM programs. Patch 2
allows dynamic pointers to be used as kfunc parameters. Patch 3 exports
bpf_dynptr_get_size(), to obtain the real size of data carried by a dynamic
pointer. Patch 4 makes available for new eBPF kfuncs some key-related
definitions. Patch 5 introduces the bpf_lookup_*_key() and bpf_key_put()
kfuncs. Patch 6 introduces the bpf_verify_pkcs7_signature() kfunc. Finally,
patches 7-9 introduce the tests.

2.25.1
nft_flowtable.sh fails most of the time since
2738d9d963bd1f0 ("netfilter: flowtable: move dst_check to packet path").
Arguably the test scripts way of detecting 'offloaded' vs 'offload
failed' was always flaky/broken.
These patches fix this up:
1. first patch moves to random netns names so we don't trip
over existing 'ns1' name (too generic...).
2. second patch reworks the 'offload appears to be non-working'
by means of packet counters.
Because counters are only incremented when a packet is handled
by the classic forward path, check that the counter is lower than
a given threshold (25% of file size).
Florian Westphal (2):
testing: selftests: nft_flowtable.sh: use random netns names
testing: selftests: nft_flowtable.sh: rework test to detect offload
failure
