[PATCH bpf] bpf: add bpf_jit_limit knob to restrict unpriv allocations

From: Daniel Borkmann
Date: Mon Oct 22 2018 - 19:11:13 EST


Rick reported that the BPF JIT could potentially fill the entire module
space with BPF programs from unprivileged users which would prevent later
attempts to load normal kernel modules or privileged BPF programs, for
example. If JIT was enabled but unsuccessful to generate the image, then
before commit 290af86629b2 ("bpf: introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON config")
we would always fall back to the BPF interpreter. Nowadays in the case
where the CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON could be set, then the load will abort
with a failure since the BPF interpreter was compiled out.

Add a global limit and enforce it for unprivileged users such that in case
of BPF interpreter compiled out we fail once the limit has been reached
or we fall back to BPF interpreter earlier w/o using module mem if latter
was compiled in. In a next step, fair share among unprivileged users can
be resolved in particular for the case where we would fail hard once limit
is reached.

Fixes: 290af86629b2 ("bpf: introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON config")
Fixes: 0a14842f5a3c ("net: filter: Just In Time compiler for x86-64")

Hi Rick, I've reworked the original patch into something much simpler
which is only focussing on the actual main issue we want to resolve right
now as a first step to make some forward progress, that is, limiting usage
on the JIT for unprivileged users. Tested the below on x86 and arm64.
(Trimmed down massive Cc list as well a bit and Cc'ed people related to
commits referenced and netdev where BPF patches are usually discussed.)
Thanks a lot!

+-------------
+
+This enforces a global limit for memory allocations to the BPF JIT
+compiler in order to reject unprivileged JIT requests once it has
+been surpassed. bpf_jit_limit contains the value of the global limit
+in bytes.
