[PATCH bpf v2] bpf: fix nested bpf tracepoints with per-cpu data

From: Matt Mullins
Date: Tue Jun 11 2019 - 17:59:09 EST


BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINTs can be executed nested on the same CPU, as
they do not increment bpf_prog_active while executing.

This enables three levels of nesting, to support
- a kprobe or raw tp or perf event,
- another one of the above that irq context happens to call, and
- another one in nmi context
(at most one of which may be a kprobe or perf event).

Fixes: 20b9d7ac4852 ("bpf: avoid excessive stack usage for perf_sample_data")
Signed-off-by: Matt Mullins <mmullins@xxxxxx>

v1->v2:
* reverse-Christmas-tree-ize the declarations in bpf_perf_event_output
* instantiate err more readably

I've done additional testing with the original workload that hit the
irq+raw-tp reentrancy problem, and as far as I can tell, it's still
solved with this solution (as opposed to my earlier per-map-element
version).
